7 minutes practising causative conjugation - tried too many forms simultaneously (polite, plain, negative, past) but made too many careless mistakes so switched back to basic plain form - will continue this way until error-free
Wrote about a billion (7) sentences to practice some DoIJG stuff, hopefully someone on langcorrect can correct it for me, and I’ll post here after it’s corrected
Been too stressed out these last few days to focus on writing prompts amd probably will be for a few more days, but I have been chatting on the discord server.
Ok so this will be because i wrote the sentences at 2am but I went back to my post to have a look at the corrections and even I’m like cause what on earth were those mistakes, I wrote I don’t eat anything as 何を食べます?? Strangeness, but anyway my practice of 以外 seemed mostly fine, corrected versions below with my own explanations, and I’ve put a little blobby next to things as well
Blobby key: I knew this but made a silly mistake I should have known this I did not know this
Summary
これは文法をの練習のためにの短い文です。
There’s no verb so shouldn’t have を
ために is for verbs, ための for nouns
パスタ以外に何も食べますせん。
何も and negative verb
一つ以外の生爪は赤いです
ジム以外に公園だけでも走ります
で for location of action
も for inclusivity with the gym
だけ would also imply exclusivity even though you’ve just said there’s an exception
トムとジャック以外の人はみんな好きではありません
フランス語以外に何語が話せますか
その問題以外全てはとても安いです はすべてとても簡単です
は after “except” to mark the exception as the topic (Makes sense but I didn’t know the exception should be the topic but ig why else would you be mentioning it if you didn’t want to talk about it)
I make those kind of mistakes in English all the time (it’s like where did my brain just go?) so I’m never surprised (although admittedly disappointed) when I make them in Japanese
Output practice: Yesterday’s entry got corrected and all three people that corrected it marked every sentence as correct! Zero mistakes! I am completely floored. Might mean that I am making progress finally first time that I can feel that with output practice, so I am very happy.
Output practice: Wrote one entry on Langcorrect today.
Handwriting practice: た・ち・つ・て・と
Here’s what I can write so far, I like how it looks so far! The plan is to learn all hiragana, then katakana, and then start writing sentences (I’ll look up the kanji strokes as they come, not yet planning on learning kanji strokes, we’ll see)
