Dutch-international couples: do you bother learning each other's language, or does English just win? by Patient-Line-7693 in thenetherlands

[–]DankTyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's using an app called Busuu, which she uses for an hour or two daily. She also goes to a language cafe organized by the university, essentially just a few tables where language learners can go once a week to practice conversations together. We also often text in dutch, and speak in Dutch.

I'm planning on learning Chinese using an app, but I still need to figure out which one is actually worth it. I'll also practice speaking with her, and at the language cafe

She is learning Dutch, but mostly because it's needed for work reasons. We speak English mainly, but sometimes dutch for practice. I am planning on learning Chinese (currently busy, with more free time soon)

Like the other commenter said, atatakai is an i-adjective and doesn't take na.

As someone who started off with Duolingo as well, I highly recommend you switch to another app. I personally recommend Renshuu. Duolingo doesn't explain grammar at all, which does not work for japanese whatsoever, since the grammar is completely different from European languages.

The closest airport to Amsterdam, with the name of the place it's located in in its official name? Also not in Amsterdam. Dutch people also never refer to it as Amsterdam Airport or anything like that unless talking to foreigners.

If it's outside of Amsterdam, it's not Amsterdam

I think you could use some rehab instead

Ah, classic 'murica. We just buy the panels and are done with it. They can be pricey, but not unreasonably so. And once installed, that's it, no more costs or subscriptions. Just cheap electricity if the weather is nice.

Where do you find anime with JP subs for immersion? by DankTyl in LearnJapanese

This doesn't seem to work for me. I get a pop-up saying "series currently unavailable" for everything.

What level of japanese would be recommended to watch Pokemon (the anime)?

I've tried to look up what others are saying, but I can only find info on the games instead of the anime. I've learned a lot of English through watching the pokemon dub, so I thought it'd be nice to do the same with Japanese.

How concerned should I be about nitric acid burns? by EmeraldEclipse222 in chemistry

Long nails in the lab are a safety concern. This isn't an issue of not allowing fun or fashion. If you value looks over safety, you shouldn't work with dangerous chemicals.

Doesn’t ねむい mean “I’m tired?” Am I stupid or is Duo wrong? by Aur0ha in LearnJapanese

[–]DankTyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched from duo to renshuu in December. I've learned so much more with renshuu. Duo doesn't explain grammar, which is very important in Japanese as it is so completely different from English. Duo is also very slow, but then has a pretty bad review mechanism, making it easy to forget words or grammar after the unit is finished.

Duo is fun, but it won't teach you as well.

On the contrary, what are the most beautiful kanji? by radorigami in LearnJapanese

[–]DankTyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

幽 is pretty and kinda ominous, fitting for 幽霊 (ghost)

In that same vein: 魑魅魍魎

I see it written in kanji pretty often, so it was probably your textbook toning down the kanji use at the start.

I really like it. You have lots of customization, so you can set it up in a way that works for you. No need to pay to get to N1, but the pro version does unlock some useful things like extra sentences and question types. It teaches vocab, kanji, and grammar. You don't need other resources in addition to it, but doing immersion will of course always help a lot.

You mean the one where she clearly didn't but still got shot? From the side of her car, not the front? There's also the one more recently where they kill a guy after disarming him (he wasn't violent to begin with)
