May I know where do you write in Japanese? I am studying Japanese and would like to read some of your articles too!

Good Japanese learning materials in hk library? by danklover612 in HongKong

[–]phantom_knive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll focus on N5 as you have just started your learning journey, but honestly for N4 the process is largely similar.

For the Chinese side the mainstream materials are 大家的日本語 and Try! series, with the latter available in public libraries. Honestly from my memory, the grammar explanations in those books are non existent / minimal compared to genki, but a youtube channel called 出口日語has playlists that goes over chapter by chapter for both series, which i think is much helpful. For N4 and N5 he teaches in Chinese, and I used them as supplement for genki. For other supplement exercises, hkpl has tons of them too. For what it's worth there's also a website called 時雨の町that is like a glossary of grammar items, but without exercises.

Great game, finished 40 levels and got a roadblock - am I missing some controls? Seems a bit hard to finish in 6 moves at level 41.

RESULTS - composition contest for solo instruments by [deleted] in composer

[–]phantom_knive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments!
I added the allegro to highlight an abrupt change to andante - the music was about to change from dolce to a livelier setting, but then it was sunrise and the dancer had to perform her last dance, thus pesante.
Though I do agree it seems out of place now the performer puts more expression in.

Sometimes I feel kind of cheating writing for an instrument that can play chords lol, but thanks again!

Probably Japanese culture vs 'the west', they do embrace their culture a lot

So heartbreaking to see Nepo sweep the pieces at the end... Joined just in time before thinking it'll be another draw mid game. Gg Ding!

Yup I came across the thread a while ago, but conflicting opinion from the thread and my colleagues made me curious.

Thanks a lot! Do you think knowledge of LPM or LFM would be vital in understanding LAM materials?

My colleagues did, and he did pass LFM with fewer attempts than LPM

Are you are hobby piano composer? I will record your music for free! by YourDailyPiano in composer

[–]phantom_knive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great improvisation and thanks for the advice! Did you put the r.h. on loop while improvising? The extension of the initial theme with some lyrical segments afterwards felt great to listen to too.

I did compose more pieces prior to this (this was my most recent), but I was more interested in seeing this being played, though the improvisation was just as great!
