  1. Lost in Translation:

    These are awesome!

    Thank you so much!

    No one ever has time to help me here in Japan. (And this is a decade of no one able/willing to help with casual chat) The free language class at the library does not support casual conversation. I have a lot confusion there aha.

    I wanted to ask : you put in romaji
    “skotte” – is it ok to also type sokotte?

    After ten years i finally have a website with answers!!

  2. Lost in Translation:

    you can edit my comment above

    i wanted to say at library spoken English is not allowed … also my lesson books are all Nihongo and no answer section. Therefore confusion だから、こんらん。

    Your layout and relevant lessons are very helpful.

    Thank you!
