@MLautmer Kinda had the opposite? Was on a train in Germany, could kinda make out what they were saying over my music and thought “oh they’re Swedish”. Fast forward to me getting off the train and taking my earphones out… it was a bunch of other Australians speaking English 😆

@ScriptingJapan That’s truly wild, how hard could it possibly be to select a font? 🙈

@ScriptingJapan why is the Japanese text printed in a Chinese font?

@ScriptingJapan If this is right then it’s basically the same age as me according to Amazon 😆

@ScriptingJapan When was this edition published? The 2016 one has the headwords in hiragana and then the accent after, making it significantly chunkier than the 新明解 one (which I hardly ever use even though I prefer this type of pitch notation because all the katakana makes my eyes bleed 🫣)

@GrammarTable I don’t think cream cheese makes for a good building material in any part of the world.

@LoveJoy_Lang @Kenny_DB1983 I've picked up a lot of vocabulary passively from @shibasaki_art on youtube and I find the way he talks particularly easy to understand, but I also think the videos are pretty enjoyable to watch even if you don't really know what he's saying.

@LoveJoy_Lang @Kenny_DB1983 You mean interested in Japanese or just Japan in general? There’s not a lot of stuff in German unfortunately, all the best resources I’ve found are either in English or Japanese 😅

@ThatYuta I think the wording is a bit misleading… it won’t work with just *any* 1000 words. Plenty of resources teach unnecessarily specific vocabulary in the beginning that doesn’t show up that frequently in reality.

@langglia That said, there is one exception to this “default” word order, which is to place pronouns before other nouns in a sentence, even if they are the direct object. “I gave it to the man” sounds significantly better than “I gave the man it.” (…this rule also applies in German 🤭)

@langglia “I gave the man my father’s book” feels more natural to me than “I gave my father’s book to the man”, there’s more emphasis on the direct object (the book) when it comes first, so while I might prefer to use it in a particular context, I definitely wouldn’t consider it “default”

@cuppalang Yeah I’m also super thankful for the number of resources available in English nowadays, wouldn’t’ve been able to learn it right from the beginning otherwise, as it seems most of the content regarding pitch accent is only accessible to people who already know Japanese 😐

@cuppalang @Dogen @MigakuOfficial ...moved onto Dogen's paid course after a few months. After making a conscious effort to listen out for the rules I'd learnt about being applied when immersing, I p much don't feel the need to "study" it any more besides looking up the accent for new words that I want to learn.

@cuppalang I started out just watching the handful of free videos by @Dogen and trying to pay close attention to and accurately mimic the audio in my premade Anki deck, did a whole bunch of perception drills on kotu.io and with the @MigakuOfficial pitch trainer...
