Recommendation: Apps for Japanese Learning

Over the years, I've downloaded and tested many apps. Though my favorite app was discontinued (I miss you, mindsnacks Japanese), there are still others that I don't think I'll be removing from my phone any time soon. In light of duolingo's horrible update causing a large migration and search for other apps, I thought I'd share some of my favorites. Also, some of these apps have websites or discords for you to interact with other users or to ask support questions.

For those who cannot use/don't like the graphics, the written out version is below the break.

Lingo Legend

RPG-based language learning game that I was a beta tester for. It also offers Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, German, Italian, and Portuguese. Uses spaced repetition.

here are the evos for my pmd hero and partner designs!

#pokemon #pkmnart #pkmn #pmd #pokemon mystery dungeon #delcatty #oc: mayar #swampert #oc: newlin #sylveon #oc: asta #luxray #oc: dustin #braixen #oc: zaya #grovyle #oc: dalia #like i said in that post my gates team is remaining unevolved. for now at least. not opposed to changing my mind #definitely not fully evolving nadine given the. arm situation. kazuki will probably fully evolve because idc abour dewott that much sorry #same reason why i haven't given newlin a marshtomp design #i mayyyy give dustin a luxio design in the future. just because in my lore you don't need to go to a specific place to evolve. kinda like #how gates handled evolution. so dustin would be able to evolve without that and i like the idea of him being a luxio during the post game #story. also the ingame reason as to why you can't evolve at the spring is stupid and makes no sense so fuck it #also might give zaya and dalia accessories in the future they look too naked rn. not the harmony scarves though bc i like the way they #disappeared at the end of psmd

God like shut the fuck UP.

So Chris originally pitched vandertrees. They were supposed to be together in s2. They were supposed to take care of Bridget.

Chris says that didn't work out because Alan and Sara's 'chemistry is more mother-son' and I've never heard a more absolute bullshit excuse for 'I didn't develop my main character so when Alan played him as ND read I said oh he's a baby haha' and changed the shows trajectory after the first season. BTW that's from his own mouth, he didn't even know Harry until they got Alan literally when they were already filming the pilot and then he decided Harry was supposed to be an idiot child. Like yeah, that dynamic happened bc you FORCED the child/parent thing later, that never existed in s1. Their interactions after the whole dumber Harry thing are so stiff and miserable, it's not natural the way they were before.

They genuinely won the lottery with two super attractive, talented actors who had immediate chemistry and they shit all over it. And fine don't make it canon, why do they have to be so hostile and weird about it? You're not smarter than shippers, you make a show full of poop jokes.

#resident alien #Vandertrees #Harry x Asta #I understand things changed between a pitch and the actual show BUT no they did not have that dynamic in s1 you liar #All those tropes and moments in s1 were there fr and romantic and were supposed to lead somewhere but nope retconned #Also Alice shut your fucking yapper you're not the main character of life babygirl #Alan sitting there looking dumb is so funny considering how much romantic vandertrees content he's liked and interacted with

First Read of 2023 | New Shop Addition

I'm back! I've officially finished my first Japanese read of 2023: 花野井くんと恋の病 (A Condition Called Love) and I'm quite pleased with myself--it only took me 10 days.

☁︎ I opted to use this series to kick off the new READING PACKS section that I have added to my shop. There's no need to feel daunted when you're trying to read a series or trying to read your first book/manga in Japanese. These reading packs go line-by-line, word-by-word, with the goal of helping beginners read with ease. The goal of the Kingyo Hut shop is to make the unachievable achievable.

☁︎ Each reading pack will include a searchable PDF, as well as an Excel sheet (divided/sectioned by chapters) that you can convert to .csv files to import into Anki or any other SRS study tool that you may use.

☁︎ For this particular pack, there are over 1,000 entries, going line-by-line, word-by-word (in order). Each entry has: page number, kanji, kana, definition, and notes (if necessary). There are also grammar points notated in the files in the "notes" section. Keep an eye out for the next books in the series, too. There are at least 11 more 😉!

☁︎ What makes this different from a regular vocab list or the vocab lists that I sometimes share on my blog? These reading packs are made with beginners in mind, meaning that every. single. word. is on there in some way or another (yes, that means 私, どこ, あんな, この, 友だち and other words that many of us consider to be basics are included on there). This helps you start the journey and feel less daunted. No need to feel stupid when you look up a word--we all have to at some point or another.

☁︎ Currently, I'm using the series that I'm personally interested in reading, but if there's a series/book that you think you'd like to see a reading pack for, send me a message (on here, my studygram, or discord) or an ask (you can be anonymous if you want) and let me know! I can't guarantee that I can do every request (i.e., time, series/genres I may not be comfortable with, etc.), but I will definitely make an effort!

If you're interested, grab one now while they're at the low price of $9 USD.
