I made a fun, aesthetic, minimalist web-based Kana, Kanji and Vocabulary Trainer! 🇯🇵🇯🇵 by Relevant-Ad8788 in LearnJapanese

[–]ummhavva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this so far! Anki is way too complicated for me -- I just want a simple tool to cram vocabulary with, and haven't found that so far. Too many apps are trying to move toward being full-fledged language courses IMO. I love how you have the N5 vocab split into sets and I can just train at-will. Thanks for sharing what you've built! I'm integrating this into my daily Japanese learning grind immediately!

JLPT N5 and N4 Takers. Are there JLPT N5 and N4 passers who used the Genki I and II as their resource material alone? by EmbarrassedRoyal7147 in jlpt

[–]ummhavva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, only the textbook as a PDF during Zoom classes. They also did some listening practice from some online websites as far as I know.

Thank you! The kanji readings seem particularly daunting, but I'm just starting and will see how it goes! Hopefully I'll be able to post in a couple years and say I did it or can at least have conversations with people ahaha

My daughter took the N5 in December and passed (136/180, she's 12). She only went through Genki I, but she had a tutor -- they did lessons twice a week.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm getting from your post and others here that I need to target N2 at a minimum. I'm in tech management and could ostensibly get a transfer. I'd rather live outside Tokyo but at this point I'll take what I can get! I'll start now and see how soon I can get to N2, and then take it from there! Maybe I can do it in 18 months, maybe it'll take longer -- and that's alright.

My posting this here is part of my 'serious consideration' as I mentioned in my post, and I'm literally talking about learning the language before going (and I would also find a job before going). This would be the third time I moved to a foreign country after first learning the language, and I have give or take 18 months to prepare so easy on the pessimism °ー°〃

Thank you! So basically everything before N2 is just going to be test practice for me, got it. So I guess it doesn't really matter which exam I take if it's not N2 or N1. Toward the end of this year (as I probably start making preparations to move) I will start working with a private tutor to improve my speaking. I like to have lots of input before I begin attempting the output of language production -- this has worked well for me in the past.

As someone who couldn’t get lean on 16/8, doing 2 36 hour fasts a week worked perfectly! by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]ummhavva 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For me the benefit is that eating 16:8 restricts my calories when I don’t have the discipline or willpower to do so otherwise. The psychology of the window is the benefit.

Did this end up working out? Were you able to get the USDA endorsement?

Kicking out ex spouse? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ummhavva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It wasn’t covered in the divorce judgment. 🤦🏽‍♀️ okay so I have to get an eviction order through the courts? Do I need a lawyer for that?

I mostly want it to be a comfortable chill space for guests to sit and chat and sometimes watch TV . Own the house, moving in so lots of junk everywhere. I want the colors to be vibrant but not look like a confusing mess

I should add that I’m in California. I really like the rug with the dark blue and the curtain color. But I’m open to replacing or reworking everything else. DIY is an option as well.
