Still gets me a little stirred up when Midori and imiwa? have strange, rare, kanji readings like the second one here ふみ【文, 書】that I can’t find in any other learner’s dictionary.

So LingoDeer is going to paid subscription model, although prior users are grandfathered out of it for a little bit. Still, this Japanese- and Korean!- 2 course looks really good and seems to be worth it. Another two days to get the lifetime subscription.

I bought the lifetime subscription on the strength of level 2.

Can’t actually find such a character in a Chinese dictionary. Do find the inside, 斗 dǒu, which seems to represent The Big Dipper.

Simplified Chinese “map” is 图, pronounced tú, with old complicated character being 圖. So perhaps another case of different simplification.

I'm doing that in my spare moments but most of my time available is spent omg WaniKani and Bunpro. It's locking in grammar and vocab like nothing before.
I can bust out a

no sweat.

You mean Bunpro?
― What is Blecchism ? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 December 2018 02:19 (seven years ago)
no bunpro
bunko I hadn't heard of, looks interesting

bunpo
Parsing sentences like this
食べたことのない甘さがあるクッキーをつくってみたい。
Is really hard on paper, but doing it whilst listening is really hard. It feels like the hook of the sentence is right at the end

Bunpro?
― What is Blecchism ? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 December 2018 23:50 (seven years ago)
That is a Bunpro sentence, yes.

Heh, that looks pretty good.So have been using three dictionaries apps extensively recently: imiwa?, Japanese and Midori. Perhaps I will organize my thoughts at some point and post about how they measure up to each other.

Just printed that out. Very interesting but some of it is hard to read, such as the green humble and honorific box on the back.

The Duolingo Japanese course from English is so-so, but the Progress Quiz is actually quite challenging.

I’m not sure the よう is necessary, where did the sentence come from?

On the first one it could be a really bad mis writing I of the volitional 泳ごう。 making it ‘He made me want to go swimming’ which seems a bit weird, but ok could work.
That last one you posted I just don’t know. I do get the sense that some of the less popular corners of Duolingo don’t get proofed very well. There’s a quite a few errors in the later levels of LingoDeer as well.
My reading is coming along by leaps and bounds I can recognise 750 kanji and I’m starting to do pretty well with teenage novels and manga.

Duolingo just significantly upgraded their Japanese course, wondering if this addresses any of our concerns, tend to doubt it.

There do seem to be a lot more kanji in the lessons, I’ll give them that

I took a peak and it didn’t look any different. Not going to waste my time on it.

Also, they have been doing A/B testing so maybe you still have the old tree.
