WELL THATS JUST FUCKING FANTASTIC
DUOLINGO JUST DELETED MY PROGRESS
I was near the end of Unit 13 with almost all blue trophies (you do a quiz to make it blue) now I'm apparently only on Unit 8 and zero blue

Ignore that one is selected, because none of these are correct. Apparently the answer is 4, but it's a different sound.

I installed a Japanese keyboard to my phone and started inputting answers into Duolingo manually when given the option. Did it make my lesson take 5x longer than normal? Yes. Did I make far more mistakes than normal? Yes.
But nothing beats the feeling of pride of typing out the answer and being right.

On the one hand, their translation is technically more correct. He is saying it is hot tea, and heโd likely say it differently if only stating that his tea was hot.
Heโs establishing what something is, and not just saying the temperature of something already established.
On the other hand, I clearly understood the vocabulary :P

Do you know if there's a good way to learn Kanji? I know the other two alphabets but I don't know where to even begin with this one, it looks super hard and there's thousands of characters
So i've been struggling with this for years too! I've been using duolingo to learn and it has a lot of weak points, mainly speaking and writing. I've been filling notebook after notebook with kanji and hiragana
But!!! Literally this last week Duolingo updated the japanese lesson plan to include kanji practice!! It's a new tab where you would practice hiragana and katakana!
Again, Duolingo isn't the best, but it's at least something you can use to practice and learn all the correct strokes!
