I thought I was getting a feel for when to rendaku until I came to 早口, my brain really thinks this should be guchi dammit

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

Wikipedia article quite good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendaku#Examples

Sorry, linked in the middle instead of the top.
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 01:30 (four years ago)
Both readings are correct for 早口, and you certainly hear both said. There’s a lot of regional and personal variation in rendaku in any case.

Ah, yeah, so they are, thanks. Me, I can never quite remember the meaning of this one:早速
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 01:51 (four years ago)
Basically stuff that means something like recently, soon, nearby, just now right away etc. always gets jumbled up in my head.
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 01:53 (four years ago)
Right now my recent rendaku issues center on a particular kanji that is already voiced材vs a lookalike with similar pronunciation that does have a rendaku and non-rendaku version財
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 02:04 (four years ago)
Anyway I feel kind of good that I aware of and know how to type the special rendaku kana ぢ and づ as in 鼻血(はなぢ) . Can’t think of a word for the other one, actually.

Have been forging ahead on Duolingo but it just got insanely hard. I was on the level Memories and The Arts 1And just got to Weather 2 and Lawbut the sentences are just too long at this point
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 22:08 (four years ago)
So probably should just stick to Clozemaster

The Wanikani guys really like The Dictionary of Japanese Grammar, all three volumes, but I don’t know if I can buy too many physical volumes these days and the ebook seems suspect.

So I just started to dip into Japanese in anticipation of a trip (that is now very likely postponed) and because it intersting and came across "80/20 Japanese" which to my very novice eyes seems pretty good? anyone else have experience with this?

it's always a fun moment when you get to learn a word that has been adopted into English from Japanese and see what the kanji that make it up are - drawing letter = emoji, of course it's a letter that's also a drawing!

Do people really do Wanikani and never bother with the vocab? I just don’t see the point of that at all.
