ReplyDeletehey I just discovered this website I am studying japanese through manga as well, I am reading one piece as I like one piece, I used to try and read yotsubato but I found it hard as the child is six so her japanese is not correct she shortens words and changes some so for me it was hard to understand,I find it hard to understand manga as if you translate a word at a time you get a certain meaning but in a sentence the meanings change, I find the hardest part about reading manga is not knowing when the word is over, I sit around with my dictionary notepad and pen and write down vocab that appears more then once, I like how you break the words down here, on the manga I might have to get my copy of yatsubato out and follow along.
ReplyDeletehow are you doing on japanese now?
