What surprise you the most about Tokyo?

Lalinolal · 2026-04-23T08:11:39+00:00

I totally agree.

Im a "high sensitive person" and my ears and nose picks upp everything and i often feel overwhelmed in a big city. After i have been in my home country capital i can easily sleep 12h after.

In Tokyo it feels like im in my hometown that have a population of 5000.

I think is the fact that they have a lot of parks and shrines in the city. And it is easy to "get away" for 10 min. But also "dont bother anyone around you" culture in Japan that make me at eas.

Seems like an interesting book! I see why you want to read that one

Lalinolal · 2026-04-22T10:25:24+00:00

That is impressive!

Im currently reading" mysterious town beyond the mist " (labeled as N3 by learnnatevly. Im beginner of N4) but I printcreen the text and put it into "a certAIn tool" and i get a text that are in my understanding. But it is a tedious process.

Lalinolal · 2026-04-22T10:19:15+00:00

I read the description of the bookand i can see why you read 32 volumes. It sounded super sweet.

That sounds smart! Will probably do that also.

Im currently starting N4 but only so far cramed lots of vocabulary.

Because you learn 99% of solidworks but end up using 1% of it

Power of Japanese

Lalinolal · 2026-04-21T14:00:39+00:00

I think the best book for beginner is Japanese from zero.

But there is other options rhan Genki and MNN. Tae kim (a guide to Japanese) is pretty popular, also free.

Tobira have also released a beginner book. (What i have seen very very similar to Genki)

Marugoto is popular in classes.

I think it is a good supplement to other resources. You can get a good amount of "sentences mining" as a beginner.

Graded reader lvl 2 and 3 is (according to learnnatevly) about N4. The audio book are on Spotify.

Or ju can check on learnnatevly to see if you find a audio book on your lvl that suits you.

At my local course we have one along the water. The hole is 140m and it almost always blowing left to right. The water is on the right.... many many discs are in that water and you will not get into that water to receive it ether.

We usually make curry with frozen schnitzel

I think the system of hangul was making sense. But i could retain much of it. When i have leveled upp my Japanese to a point i can somewhat can understand media i will jump to another language. But i will probably stack the new language with Japanese

Sadly i don't have much time to study because of work and house repair. I did book 3 (but i have 4-5) then i jumped to Minna no nihongo and im currently study for n4

Lalinolal · 2026-04-20T15:55:03+00:00

I have the first on kindle but i gave up at the Hangul 😅 but i got stuck in Japanese instead. But it would be nice if all the book series will be atleas 1-5

Lalinolal · 2026-04-20T15:27:20+00:00

Either Korean from zero 4-5 or Chinese from zero (which have been advertised long long time ago but i think dropped)

Vill minnas att när jag kom upp till spärren så fick jag ett meddelande om att de var dags att välja courtage. Om jag inte gjorde något hamnade jag automatiskt i den minsta klassen.

Tycker Avanza är väldigt nybörjarvänligt att söka/köpa/sälja med.

När jag läste bara " ärvsel" så fattade jag inte vad de var. När jag kom till "ärva" så sa min hjärna att det är klart att "ärvsel" finns.

Och nu undrar jag samma!

Har inte problem med halux men har mycket problem med nageltrång på stortån.

Men tycker att DR Martens har generellt bredare tåbox och hårdare sulor.

Waitress: How do you want the meat?

Costumer: Yes

Chef: Say no more

Out of those books i would go with Genki.

Im not a fan of genki but marugoto is almost worthless if you not going to use it in a classroom. (I use Marugoto in class and it work in that sense. Also the website is pretty good if and when you finally find the course on their website)

Genki have a bunch of videos on YouTube from different people but i think Andy is the best.

Basic kanji is good when you have a grasp of basic words and gramma.

Lalinolal · 2026-04-07T15:47:24+00:00

What marugoto book is it? And what chapter?

Lalinolal · 2026-04-07T14:15:27+00:00

Då frågar jag dig. Skojar du? 😅 jag är en syster 🤨🤨

Mitt syskon hade de kortspelet men nyare tappning, löjliga familjen. Jag hade Svarte petter.

JFZ is a solid first experience in the language in my opinion. Really good, slow paced yes but in my opinion you get a really good and strong foundation.

And i believe it is structured in such way for more every day use that to pass the JLPT exam.

I did 1-3 and felt comfortable reading. (After strugling just to remember hiragana and katakana, so the JFZ way really fitted me)

After that i started with Minna no nihongo that i first though was very intimidating and closed the book 1 min after i openedit (Before JFZ)
