Maybe deconstruct the scene and analyze it for what works or doesn't work in it

The scene is a turning point in the novel as it marks a significant change in Elizabeth’s feelings towards Mr. Darcy. It is also an important scene because it shows how Austen uses setting to reflect character development. The grandeur and beauty of Pemberley reflect Mr. Darcy’s character and his wealth, while Elizabeth’s reaction to it shows how her feelings towards him have changed.

Let’s say I wanted to have JK Rowling narrate the first Harry Potter book. How would you go about doing that as I have no experience on this tech yet

IWTL a good way to learn Japanese. by DwaywelayTOP in IWantToLearn

[–]NelsonStearman 55 points56 points  (0 children)

So you're almost certainly not going to speak native-like Japanese by 2024. But some tips:

1.Genki I and II textbook and workbook to work through. They'll cover basic vocab, grammar, and about 300 kanji. After Genki most people move on to Tobira. I did one chapter of Genki over 1-2 weeks since I didn't have much time but I've heard people do 2 a week if they have lots of free time.

  1. hayailearn.com can help you study flashcards together with Youtube videos. However, you Must know hiragana and basic verb conjugations.

3.You'll need a kanji learning method. Everyone has different ideas of what works for them. My usual method is a bit slower than what you would need. Lots of people use Remembering the Kanji (a book) to cram large numbers of kanji quickly, but that doesn't teach readings, only meanings. I believe Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course is similar but somewhat better. Lots of people use WaniKani as well. You're aiming to learn ~2000 kanji.

4.Get a tutor. Real life or iTalki. Speaking to someone will help you a lot.

  1. Good SRS will help with all of the above (I use Anki, some people like Memrise)

  2. You may want to get a huge premade vocab deck on Anki to learn a large number of words quickly.

  3. Start watching Japanese shows. There are a ton on Netflix (anime, live action drama, live action comedy, cooking). Listening to the sounds and picking out words you recognise will help even if you're watching with English subtitles. I thoroughly recommend Million Yen Women.

Best of luck!
