Changed my mind on the Japanese studies Masters. Because realistically, why do I want to study Japan in England like I didn't study Japan in Japan? I'd rather do a PhD over there fully funded like someone who actually cares about making money.
#fully funded phd in japan > forking out for UK masters about japan not in japan#yh i could still get a scholarship but who in japan is gonna hire me#technology is the future#i want to study language outside of uni and then just work in japan from next year#plus the uni had a bunch of timely scandals this year so lowe it#「おい、今日も日本語勉強したのか？」#してないよ、許してちょうだい

My kanji is terrible and I recently learned about the book by Andrew Scott Conning.
The Kanji Learner Course is an amazing book for learning kanji, the best thing about it which made me buy it was the fact that it explains how to remember every single kanji like a teacher.
I have only done till the first 100 kanjis for now but it's definitely a wonderful book!
I highly recommend buying it if you want a comprehensive kanji book.

読解と単語 // Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary
「わあ、綺麗な本⋯⋯」
千反田の嘆息に、つい視線がそちらを向いてしまう。なるほどそれは、お嬢様の歓心を買うだけのことはある見事な装丁だった。表紙は革張りで、細密な飾り模様が施された。
― 米澤穂信 (2017): 氷菓, p.55.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Vocabulary:
千反田える（ちたんだ）character name in the book (and later anime adaption) Hyōka by Yonezawa Honobu
嘆息（たんそく）gasp, sigh
つい unintentionally
お嬢様（おじょうさま）young lady (of pampered upbringing)
歓心を買う（かんしん）win favor
～だけのことがある as expected (N2 grammar)

Hearing Chitandas gasp, I couldn't help but turn my gaze into her direction. Indeed, it was a splendid binding that, as expected, won over the favor of our little lady. The cover was of leather and had a finely-detailed decorative pattern applied.
― Yonezawa, Honobu (2017): Hyōka, p.55.

Tired of language learning apps constantly downgrading for profit? Introducing Lingonaut Project
We've all seen previously great language learning apps such as Duolingo or Busuu gradually losing quality, because of the owners always looking for more ways to make money. That is why a programmer and language fan by the name of Dr.Greenboys on Discord decided to do something about it, and start his own project, with a strict non-profit policy, never to be sold to the stock market, and premium tiers only giving aesthetic benefits, instead of not being able to pay money damaging the service's ability to teach you a language. It is still in development, but I am really happy to have found this project, and wanted to share it with the world.
Did I mention that, unlike Duolingo, we'll take volunteers for pretty much any language as long as the volunteers are fluent in it?
Anyways, you can find the project's page at https://lingonaut.app/

Banned hiragana from Japanese license plates and why
Most Japanese license plates have a hiragana on them, but some are banned
お (o) - looks similar to あ (a)
を(wo) - pronounced the same way as お(o)
し(shi) - the character for death (死) is also pronounced shi
へ(he) - there is another character pronounced the same way (屁) and it means fart
ん (n) - cause it is hard to pronounce on its own
