If you're wondering, someone else is too. 💬 Question ideas - A hiragana character you keep mixing up - How to pronounce a word - What a word or phrase means - How to say something in Japanese - Anything about grammar that confuses you ✏️ Not sure how to start? Try one of these: - "I'm stuck on __. Can someone explain it?" - "How do you say __ in Japanese?" - "What's the difference between __ and __?" - "How do you pronounce __?" 🤔 No question today? Pick one of these instead: Option A: Share one new word or phrase you learned this week - "This week I learned __. It means __." - Bonus: use it in a sentence! Option B: Post a sentence you wrote and ask for a check - "I wrote this sentence: __. Is it correct?" - Any sentence works, even a simple one from Days 1 to 4. Mistakes are welcome, that's how we learn! ⭐ Bonus (optional): finish with 教えてください!(Oshiete kudasai!) = Please teach me! 👇 Post in the comments below. Then, if you can help with someone else's post, jump in and reply! Ganbatte kudasai! Joe Sensei.
