葬送のフリーレン ・Frieren 🧝‍♂️ Volume 3

finished ch 20 and 21 today
chap 20 and chap 21 are fully populated

cleaned up the vocab sheet - realize mistakes happen but seemed especially bad recently…some reminders for the vocab sheet

If you aren't sure, don't add

post your question to the forum and then go back and add to the spreadsheet

kept finding the incorrect definition used quite often
the definition isn’t always the first one in the dictionary
sometimes it’s the 3rd or 5th or even 9th.
pick the one the makes the most sense based on the grammar and context.

also make sure that the dictionary entries are being entered
don’t use personal definitions
if you want to include additional info, use the notes column

this stuff used to make me so lost :sob: when I first started reading years ago getting stuck because the incorrect definition was populated. don’t want to see other beginners getting lost and struggling when there is really no need for that.

put the whole word in the kanji column - admittedly haven't seen this until this club

as an example of what was cleaned up (found it in a few places)

Please don’t do this:

CORRECT:

like I said, was surprised to find this
found it more than once so wanted to call attention to it
hadn’t seen it in other book clubs so cannot tell if it’s just an oops/typo but include the whole word

keep the table formatting logical

haven’t ever seen it happen until this club

was finding font sizes from 6pt to 16pt randomly mixed in
also was finding cell alignment all moved about top vs bottom
really looked hella strange

should have taken a screenshot before cleaning it up and posted it but oh well
this is less of an issue if the info is correct but it’s annoying to read :wink:

Similar to the first item - ensure the word is the correct vocab

Kanji combined make different words and if you aren’t sure or mix up the meaning
我が儘 is one word with the meaning of “willful”
but was populated only as 儘 with the meaning of “as it is”

suppose I could have goofed but not sure how the sentence would have made any sense parsed the other way. In any case, realize there’s no malice (unless there’s a demon among us - thankfully 勇者たち are with us) but did want to remind folks when filling out the sheet, be careful and make sure the data is accurate and formatted correctly.

It can really lead a beginner very much astray :bowing_man:

Enjoy !!! I’ll continue to try to read ahead for the other chapters and keep the list populated (where possible)
