@elfdad @RafiX Who needs relationships when u got #Bowoski.

@zeezeemoomoo This legit reminds me of an actual irl friendship I have. I've played both roles tho for different friendships.

I feel like doing a Follow Friday type toot soon even though it's not Friday.

@rhitakorrr The reason to use Kanji in place of hiragana, besides Japanese having a lot of homophones, is that Japanese has a lack of spaces and hiragana is used for articles, particles and prepositions, along with being able to be used to spell words. Using Kanji in place of what would be a hiragana helps differentiate things. On the other hand, if a sentence is simple enough, it can be written fully in hiragana.

@rhitakorrr Standard sequence is hiragana - - > katakana - - > Kanji. Hiragana is the essential alphabet system that native Japanese breaks down into. Katakana is an alphabet system used to indicate or signal that what is being written is a loan word, and it also can have a certain aesthetic role distinct from hiragana. Kanji are used to indicate or signal that what is being written is a verb/noun/adjective, or more generally to distinguish among homophones, in place of hiragana.

@h Isn't that the exact opposite of what they should be doing? Cooperatives could do well with better PR.

@rhitakorrr I prefer Memrise to Duolingo but I use both. Also just using the traditional ways of practicing kana is good. Like flashcards, pronunciation practice with native speaker, and trying to reconstruct the hiragana and katakana tables from scratch.

I also think Kanji is nice to ease into by learning common Kanji you would use, in addition to eventually building your Kanji skill by studying the radicals and how the ideograms relate and build up.

@Nightingalle のために嬉しい！(I'm sure that came out wrong.. xD)

@abs Haven't eaten squashes in a long time.. Can't even remember what they taste like. 😅 So I hope it goes well!!! Also sounds like a bit of fusion. :3

@Nightingalle Yeah, it was good you did because the hairstyle came out extra cute/beautiful! But yeah, I'm starting to see you develop a more defined style in general--at least from the stuff I've personally seen. :blobowo:

@abs What are you planning to make? :breadpeek:

@Nightingalle OMG, really cute! Really like the coloring. This looks like you improved a lot. :blobcheer:

@rhitakorrr Here's a p. cool textbook for ya: https://waa.ai/ao6W

And wanikani is @ http://wanikani.com

I'm sure you already know where/how to find duolingo and memrise. :blobowo:

@animeirl Given some recent news and behavior I'm becoming a less loyal FF user. Using Vivaldi instead. There aren't a lot of good browser options lately without having to balance so many trade-offs.
