Yesterday/way early this morning was quite frustrating. It was quite easy to describe what I wanted to build: Japanese Vocab Quiz should track wrong answers so that users can review at the end of a quiz to see what words gave them the most trouble. As is, the thought is that users could look at the list and see if the word is still really hard to remember and if so, go look up additional information on it or build flashcards, or just whatever they need to make it sticky for them.

Japanese Vocab Quiz now has the vocabulary and kanji readings from Chapter 3. For me personally, this will be the first chapter where I get to test how well the site works for teaching brand new vocab (as opposed to my getting accidentally exposed to it as I was building/testing the site). In general, I tend to think that nothing would come close to someone sitting down and making their own flash cards (whether physical or in Anki or similar software), and finding their own personal connection/examples/representative images for a word or concept.

how to use もう and まだ もう and まだ have a bunch of different English translations, but it’s fairly straightforward in Japanese: use もう when something has changed use まだ when something has NOT changed Though I’ve highlighted the equivalent English words below, I would recommend NOT memorizing the English translations of もう and まだ and instead ask yourself: has this situation changed? If it has, use もう.

Japanese Verb Quiz now has both the verbs from Chapter 2 of Nakama book 2, and also several of the grammar points: expressing occasion and time using 時 the volitional form of verbs using the volitional form with と思う using つもり and 予定 to talk about plans the 〜たら conditional of verbs I couldn’t really figure out a way to wedge もう and まだ into a verb quiz, so I wrote something short here about when to use もう and まだ.

Hayley Fails Japanese is currently the site where I’m going to tie everything Japanese related together because I ended up with far more domains than I intended. I plan to keep site update notes (for all of the sites) and grammar notes here. the Japanese sites I’ve built As I write this, I’ve built the following Japanese sites: Kanji By Hayley Japanese Verb Quiz Kanji Visualizer Japanese Vocab Quiz kanji by hayley On this site, you can print practice kanji worksheets from Genki 1 / Genki 2 and Nakama 1 / Nakama 2, as well as practice sheets for hiragana and katakana.
