Hi all, I see in years past there have been various Genki I (the textbook) threads. I don’t see one currently. Is anyone currently enrolled in a course using this textbook? I work full-time and so can’t take a (daytime) class. But I’m working with a tutor individually, and we’re keeping up with a …

Thanks @gfyh455ji6wegrtjyaja . :pray: It’s not so much a problem as it is just missing the camraderie of mutually complaining to someone who’s experiencing the same thing at the same time :grin: and helping each other out, etc. I should just find an online class.

@Noctis92 ありがとうございます :pray:。 I did see that, but it appears it closed a couple of weeks ago. Also, asynchronous is really key for me and my crazy schedule. 大丈夫です、I’ll keep my eyes out for opportunities elsewhere.

@WeebPotato ありがとうございますも！ That’s very kind of you! I can certainly give that a go, and actually your post-Genki perspective might be super-helpful. My current struggle is with embedding these indirect clauses (と思います / と言っていました）in something else. For example, in English I can say: I think George…

@haydaytimio I’m curious about the pace of your course. Are you in a first-year course, and if so where (grammatically-speaking) are you?

▶ Question about と思います／と言っていました I think George would be ジョージ, but otherwise the sentence looks okay. Why would it get more complicated with で来る? Or did you mean 〜てくる and in what context? A subject would still be indicated with が inside the clause and you can precede everything with 僕は／私は／etc. for fu…

That’s a very good tip about えっと, thank you! I was thinking 出来る (didn’t use the right kanji :flushed:) would be a problem in something like “Jill realised that George could think about cats” due to needing ことが with 出来る. But I just realised that 思うこと wouldn’t require its own subject. I think I’m pro…
