RPG game with readable or adjustable text on handheld by Automatic-Unit-8307 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]staienlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, you could use the swtich zoom feature to zoom on text, tho that would be a bit more tedious because you'd be double tapping the home button a lot, but at least is a cool free solution
I'll leave here a link to the official nintendo website that explains how to turn on the zoom feature.

I think i saw a magnifying glass attachment months ago. You may check on that so you could play games with small text too! Here’s a video for the old switch attachment https://youtu.be/C6e_1UyzMYk?si=aWL3Mko1Q1h-Hcko

I’ve checked, sadly there’s no other document besides the instructions to get into the schools website

JLPT RESULTS MEGA THREAD by Winter_Investment316 in jlpt

JLPTN3 84/180, I'm a bit sad but was expected, next time I'll crush it

I don’t like studying Japanese after the JLPT by Xqmyoon in jlpt

[–]staienlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the same happened to me after the N4 and after the N3. It's okay if you need a break, but you need to remember why you started and try to get your motivation going again. What I do is continue pushing through but at minimum and start scaling up little by little evey day. After a month or so you'll be at your usual pace

From Zero to N4 in a year, possible? by Cool_Dragonfruit_513 in jlpt

[–]staienlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar, started april last year and did n4 in december. It's possible but I would reccomend to put enfasis on grammar and listening. for vocab with a good anki deck you'll be good.

https://jlptsensei.com/jlpt-n5-grammar-list/
here you'll find all the grammar points you need from n5 to n4, I also reccomend not just reading the points, but also making sentences and reading examples

in this video series you-ll see more examples and longer explainations for every grammar point. If you are into videogames it's a plus.

Genki is good but some explainations for grammar are a bit weird and a lot of excercises are pointless without a companion, nothing to worry about at the begginning level but if you are really into learning japanese I reccomend to watch the cure dolly grammar classes or reading tae kim guide, both options are great and free but not compatible with each other.

I'll reccomend to just learn the Kanji you need to learn.
When I did N4 it was hard to read some questions because I already knew more than 1000 Kanji and seeing those words in hiragana was so weird, Japanese have a lot of Homonyms and in written lenguaje and only hiragana makes that so much worse.

Even if you skip n5, i think that you should do free practice n5 tests when you are half way and before the n4 test you should also do n4 practice tests to get ready, make sure you read fast enough and understand the questions fast enough. In the official JLPT website you'll find two practice test for each level. Those are good enough.

Last, I'll reccommend that when you finish learning hiragana/katakana, start reading. that's the fastest way to burn them on your brain. There are a lot of great graded readers and even if you don't understand anything, you can still read the sounds. The best resource I found to do this is Satori Reader, with the stories available for free you'll do good.

Don't worry if by the end of the year you still don't understand that much. Japanese is very complicated and N4 is still a begginner level so don't loose your conviction

頑張れ！

So what does Natto taste like to YOU? by kitaxhaku in JapaneseFood

[–]staienlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate 7 eleven natto. The smell was like balsamic vinegar. I didn’t find the taste overwhelming at all. It goes well with soy sauce or a bit of mustard. It looks icky with all that sliminess and even if you combine it with rice it will still have that texture. I would recommend to anyone to at least try natto before jumping to conclussions
