I'd like to have enough of a base that I can get by in Japan while still learning the language while I'm there. I have intermediate fluency in Chinese after 2 years because I had an excellent teacher, but my university has no Japanese program, unfor…
The use of "de" vs. "ni". Also it's been a while since I used any kanji (I was the top of my Chinese class and went there for 3 months in 2012, but haven't used it all that much since), so they're a bit sloppy, and I know my "ushiro" is absolutely f…
