then I do recommend these: they are set up to auto-translate AND add hiragana if you choose Japanese

i tried Anki and found it incredibly overwhelming so I actually use a knock-off (which i think has been legally forced to change their name from AnkiApp (lol) to AlgoApp Flashcards). but I like it because it specifically has a good set up for Japanese.

"Fluent forever" which is a silly and misleading title for a book that has a lot of good advice in it
November 16, 2025 at 4:24 PM
yes! the book predates it and the book also recommends the app (along with lots of other stuff)
November 16, 2025 at 4:22 PM
the book is fluent forever and my goodreads review is going to be seventeen paragraphs long but not necessarily in a bad way

A card for "_____ time is it?" and also a card for "What time _______" so you remember both the question word and that you have to switch "it" and "is" when you ask that kind of question, and rather than making a card for every word, making multiple cards for one pattern
November 16, 2025 at 4:14 PM
he recommends using a picture on the front of the flashcard and "I cut my leg every time I ______"

And then for grammar, it's the same thing, but look for what's different about the grammar point -- word order? new word? new form of word? and make a flashcard with a blank for each of those, so--

there are a bunch of parts; first is to find a picture or a scenario that is vivid and personal to you, so rather than trying to learn "he /shaves/ in the morning" it might be "I cut my leg and bleed every time I try to /shave/," which will active a much clearer memory for you

Jesse has also been really clear that he does not want to soften or romanticize zuck more than he already (regretfully) did. otoh he’s been delighted in all the press for Now You Three Me in a way he usually never is.

this criminal is only getting punishment cuddles today, which are exactly the same as regular cuddles but I tell him in a baby voice not to enjoy them because I’m mad at him
November 16, 2025 at 2:18 PM
the saddest cutest baby, but also I'm gonna kill him
November 16, 2025 at 12:38 PM
*of, obviously

I didn't get enough sleep, I blame the cat

this is the first season I've watched where Ben is the one having the nervous breakdown
November 15, 2025 at 9:15 PM
are they..... are they about to switcheroo THEMSELVES?!? #jetlag

it's also fun to run into a whole grammar point that I internalized from watching tv and talking with people when I lived in Japan. Just learning now that there were rules and use cases???
November 15, 2025 at 4:01 PM
right???
November 15, 2025 at 12:42 PM
he just WON’T
