Since it needs to be hard for Leebo, try to find words not mentioned in any of the threads he frequents!
Ground rules:
1: For reading challenges VOCAB should not be on WK
2: Amendment: for writing challenges kanji/vocab may come from WK
3: No obscure buddhist scripture
4: Add a context sentence (preferably found in the wild, like a novel or Wikipedia)
We will be making a quiz available to everyone at some point, is the idea, so everybody use the appropriate spoiler blurs and such.
There will be only 1 sentence/word added per user, but of course any submissions can also be saved for an eventual second edition.
Deadline set by Leebo:
4/13 1:00PM Japan
4/13 4:00AM UTC
4/13 0:00AM EDT
This means we will have to have finished the quiz before then. I can find some time to curate the sentences this coming week and look into quizmaster.
Maybe link through to the original, so people can read the rules and the format there? As well as the overall idea, since the thread might sink out of sight. ^^
Ah! One of the 国語 teachers at my school gave me a kanji book when she noticed me studying - it’s chock full of stuff that isn’t covered on WK, but all still meant for modern usage. I’ve got a project for tomorrow
Decided to go with a 四字熟語, since Leebo likes those. It tends not to come up very much in conversation.
Is the sentence enough of a hint, I wonder? Otherwise I was also contemplating just grabbing the first sentence of the wiki, where it gives the definition of the word, and then he just has to know the kanji.
Okay, the book was a little too easy (I think it’s a kanken prep book), so I’m taking a bit of a gamble in a different direction. I’m hoping that he will either not be up-to-scratch on his fruit kanji, or an alternate kana-ization will throw him off.
