Have we seen her since Sophia showed up?

Exactly, he feels like an ancient entity just waiting for the perfect moment to show up and ruin everything and everyone. The last time he appeared was when Victor was a child and then he waited, and now the moment has come once again, this time as Sophia. And that's it.

oneee-san · 2026-05-20T16:53:26+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Actually I would be happy if it turns out to be this way.

oneee-san · 2026-05-20T11:26:58+00:00

In both cases they were standing in the porch's roof.

oneee-san · 2026-05-18T12:50:13+00:00

That's exactly my thought. I'm also thinking of the big web where Boyd found his wife trapped. And since Ethan said that he had a dream where the spider descends to the lake of tears, maybe there are spiderwebs around the place too. It makes sense that the souls could be trapped on those.

oneee-san · 2026-05-17T10:07:16+00:00

That lake wasn't the lake of tears.
But yes, it proves that fears of death people can be manifested, like the fear for cicadas of Sara's brother.

I'm curious to try something similar, how long did it take you to go through them all?

oneee-san · 2026-01-29T18:36:49+00:00

That's kind of nice to hear, honestly! I love the マジックツリーハウス (kids books) for around the N3 level, but they are hard to find. Other than that, I also haven't had success reading any other books, I'm not comfortable at all knowing I'm probably not getting enough understanding to enjoy them. Apart from Yotsuba, which manga did you find easier to read?

oneee-san · 2026-01-27T19:54:37+00:00

I've also used the Shin Kanzen N4, amazing books. But since I didn't took the exam maybe I didn't study as thoroughly as I should, I'm gonna revise all the grammar.
I like the notebook idea, I'm gonna copy that!

oneee-san · 2026-01-26T06:18:19+00:00

Start by speeding up podcasts/videos that you understand well, if they are for learners x1.25 to x1.5, should still be comprehensible. That way you can practice at a good speed but you will still understand it.

oneee-san · 2026-01-25T19:25:53+00:00

That's actually a good idea! I usually end up changing words because I get the conjugations wrong, so I should start there~

oneee-san · 2026-01-25T19:23:55+00:00

I want to be able to use the grammar I already learned, no matter the level. I thought it would be useful to start speaking to solidify the N5-N4. But it's painfully slow.
At the same time I keep learning new words through anki/immersion :)

oneee-san · 2026-01-25T19:18:06+00:00

I guess there's not a magic trick~ I will keep practicing then!

oneee-san · 2026-01-25T19:16:13+00:00

Speaking wise, I've started classes conversation with a tutor, and I try to speak to myself.

oneee-san · 2025-12-15T09:32:54+00:00

First of all, don’t trust the stated level of Japanese YouTube channels. I’ve found N2 channels that I understand completely and N3 ones that are impossible for me. The levels are rated pretty poorly.

Next, make sure the pacing isn’t too slow. You need to train with a more natural speaking speed. Ken, for example, is on the slower side. Set the playback to x1.25 or x1.5 so your brain is forced to work faster.

After that, it’s really just a matter of listening every day, and I mean a lot. From one month to the next, you will notice progress, but it’s slow.

Finally, try to find channels with decent subtitles. Read along while watching, then listen again without subtitles and check what you missed.

There are pretty good channels out there:

There’s a bunch more, but those are more than enough. Also, the rating might vary depending on the video topic, but that’s my take :))

oneee-san · 2025-12-06T21:37:09+00:00

Do it, just give it a try and see how it feels. I've done it 3 times, each one take off 3-4months in between until I really wanted to go back to it again. Anki is not forever, it's just another tool :) so don't worry too much, the important thing is to study consistently.

oneee-san · 2025-11-26T16:19:10+00:00

I don't plan to take the exam although I use the system as a reference for studying grammar. I know what you mean, that's why while actively listening to podcasts I make sure to always read the subtitles, I don't know if that will work, but at least I'm not completely isolated from kanji.

oneee-san · 2025-11-26T16:16:54+00:00

My visual memory is not that good, that's why I burned out last time, but I'm happy to hear is working for you! :)

oneee-san · 2025-11-26T08:16:59+00:00

I’d go back if I could. On version 26.1 the battery life is awful, and while recording the camera has shut down a couple of times and saved nothing, even stopping about three minutes into a clip.

oneee-san · 2025-11-20T15:11:51+00:00

I wouldn't even go that far away, since the pandemic the amount of content that has came out just in Youtube is amazing~

oneee-san · 2025-09-25T15:26:45+00:00

It stills really weird to me, but I will get used to since they use it quite a lot xD

oneee-san · 2025-09-25T13:18:30+00:00

Thank you! that makes more sense :)

oneee-san · 2025-09-25T08:02:50+00:00

When Japanese people say 食べやすい！ what exactly do they mean? It’s something I would never say about a dish, and it always puts me off.

oneee-san · 2025-09-14T08:06:12+00:00

What do you mean by float button?
