📝 Speak/Write Every Day Challenge (Fall 2024) 🍂

11月5日(火)

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

な・に・ぬ・ね・の

Langcorrect Corrections

In the grammar tutorial I watched on the subject, the tutor didn’t seem to be too concerned with the repetition of は

Second corrector fine with double use of は

More diary writing. I’m enjoying this enough that I looked up 遅滞 so I could accurately describe my days.

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 :face_with_raised_eyebrow::face_with_raised_eyebrow::face_with_raised_eyebrow::face_in_clouds::face_in_clouds::thinking::thinking: 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:
:green_circle: I knew this but made a silly mistake
:yellow_circle: I should have known this
:red_circle: I did not know this

Summary

これは文法練習のため短い文です。

  • There’s no verb so shouldn’t have を :green_circle:
  • ために is for verbs, ための for nouns :yellow_circle:

パスタ以外に何食べません

  • 何も and negative verb :green_circle:

一つ以外の生爪は赤いです :white_check_mark:

ジム以外に公園だけ走ります

  • で for location of action :green_circle:
  • も for inclusivity with the gym :yellow_circle:
  • だけ would also imply exclusivity even though you’ve just said there’s an exception

トムとジャク以外の人はみんな好きではありません :white_check_mark:

フランス語以外に何語が話せますか :white_check_mark:

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 :red_circle: (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)
  • 簡単 not 安い :sob: :green_circle:

リアさんとトムさんがパーティーをするなら、あなたは行くほうがいい!サラさん以外みんな行きます! それ以外にもあなたが行ってくれば、私はめっちゃ嬉しい!

  • Exception should be topic :red_circle:
  • くれる to ba form くれれば :yellow_circle:

Today wrote a quick sentence to practice 以上, will share tomorrow!

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

I’ve had so many of these moments since I started outputting in Japanese. I’m like, what am I doing, I know this stuff??


Still been keeping up my tiny daily diaries. :saluting_face:

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)
