N3 content drop
New Year’s Eve is upon us, making this the last content drop of 2024!
And boy is it a good one. But before I get to the specifics of this week’s content, let’s take a minute to reflect back on 2024, shall we?
2024 was a year of challenges, growth, and exploration for all of us at MaruMori. We watched our community grow substantially and dutifully chipped away at our ever-present monolith of content and features. We’re eternally thankful for all of our new users, old users, lifetimers, and trial explorers. You are the reason we do what we do.
That being said, we still have a lot left to accomplish, and in many ways, it feels like MM is still just getting started. We remain (for the moment) a minnow in the unbelievably large koi pond of Japanese learning resources, and sometimes it feels like we’re about to get sucked down the proverbial drain. But I’d be remiss not to acknowledge how supportive our community has been, and continues to be. We sincerely appreciate all of your efforts to spread the good word of Maru, and we hope to continue being your dream resource for Japanese!
So, a huge heartfelt thank you, and happy new year from all of us at MM!
Looking ahead, things are looking pretty great for 2025! We’ll be done with our N3 content in Q1, and (as I’m sure anyone who’s peeked at the new roadmap knows) we’ve got a ton of exciting features on the docket. Another big thing to note is that starting in January, we’ll be increasing our content release pace, and dropping a batch of content every 10 days, instead of 14. Each batch will still contain five grammar lessons, their grammar srs points, a reading exercise, and an unlock batch. So you’ll still be getting the same amount of content, just faster!
Now, for the deets on this week’s drop!
In this, the final content drop of 2024, we’ve prepared some delicious lessons, including but not limited to ～ふと for sudden actions, and those sneaky glances you take at your crush; ～ても構わない, for a stiff “I don’t mind if you…”; and ～わけがない, for when there’s just no わけ .
And in this batch’s reading exercise, we’ll take a look at a unique type of letter/email that you can write to your 先輩 or お世話になった人 (check out the reading for more info!).
And seeing as how it’s the last batch of the year, we figured you should definitely learn the words for “tax” (税金), “secrecy” (内緒), and “agony” (苦悩). Anyway, once more, a big thank you for an awesome year, and…
2024年は皆さんに大変お世話になりました！来年もどうぞよろしくお願いします！2025年がMMファミリーの皆さんにとって素敵な年になりますように。よいお年を! 
Happy New Year!
P.s.: Expect your MM Wrapped to drop later today
