@tigerrunsaaron You won't need it, but take the Kanken. It's actually pretty fun.

I'm taking the pre-1 this month.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

Just bought the kanken dictionary in 物書堂. For ¥1500 it's a steal. I regret not buying it sooner.

Two weeks of casual study while I was in Okinawa. Will take pre-1 this June

Halfway until 3000 streak.
Gonna schedule kanken 2 within 2 months.

When they say you learn English when you learn Japanese

Didn't know Japan Starbucks WiFi was for foreigners only

Just realized that devoicing in 話す気 removes the down step in the verb as well

@tigerrunsaaron A lot of self-help/pop psy books in Japanese read like worse versions of their Malcom Gladwell / Tim Ferris counterparts.

1333-day arbitrary streak

Using lesser known Japanese words as

a Westerner: OMG where did you learn that from?!
Chinese: Of course you'd say 進歩がない. You don't know how to say it in Japanese naturally.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

Can't wait for the goodies.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

Fantastic story and dialog but I regret spending time grinding all achievements.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

Especially effective for speakers who abuse loan words, with kanji backgrounds or those who read a lot more than they speak.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

Reverse thinking: when you hear a word or pattern, ask yourself if you’ve used it before and what you've been using instead. Next time, you'll be able to pick a more suitable word.

Literally the reason why we can't have AnkiConnect on iPhones...never thought about exploiting that tho

Made $1.30 from my Japanese articles on https://t.co/wGcUjhdXaA Considering using chatgpt to pump out more articles, but I want to improve on my own writing style and tone.

[Mathew Chan @MathewChan10]

@mattvsjapan I'm the reverse of this. That's why I decided to learn Japanese instead of getting better at my own language.

@ItsumoNihongo Don't forget the three great meats.
