Hey friends!

For this week’s TUTOR TUESDAY, I tried to go into a bit more detail on legs which I briefly have talked about in other tutorials. If you have any tutorial recommendations send ‘em in here or to my personal! Keep practicing, have fun, and I’ll see you next week!

Hey friends!

Meg here for this week’s TUTOR TUESDAY! This week I go over just a little trick that I like to use when drawing and connecting arms/hands/legs/feet ect. This helps me with foreshortening as well. I hope it helps you folks as well! I have tutorials that talk more specifically about hand/foot/leg anatomy here. If you have any tutorial recommendations send ‘em in here or my personal. Now go forth and I’ll see you next week!

17. 9. 10; update! Im in college now! and Im also really good at no procrastinating which I thought was going to follow me into college, but the overwhelming fear of failure is keeping me from fucking up. I'm still studying Korean, and can read it pretty fast but my vocabulary is pretty low. So my goal is pass all my classes and learn some korean vocab!! 😩👌🏾

24/100 Days of Productivity

I worked till the middle of the day and reviewed Chemistry when I arrived home. I probably could have done more but I got caught up in a nature documentary. The Planet Earth series on Netflix is great! However, I am planning to do more Chemistry tomorrow.

Later on, I walked laps for an hour at the track. The track is close to where the bus will pick me up for university in a few weeks so I’m planning to walk laps there before and after class. Being active helps me think so much better and I’m trying to plan out how to stay healthy as a student. The plan so far? Pack lunch every day, avoid buying coffee or sugary drinks, walk laps at the track, and join intramural sports teams. If anyone has tips, let me know!

Studying Japanese: Resources!

In lieu of a ‘how to study’ Japanese post, here’s a few online resources which have helped me with studying Japanese throughout the years.

The resources listed below;

Range from beginner’s level to advanced level

Are appropriate for studying for the JLPT (N4- N1)

Are appropriate for self study

Most are free, or come with a free trial period! (excluding textbooks. but trust me, i’ve got your back)

Essential Websites and Extensions

IN RIKAIKUN WE TRUST

Rikaikun:The one-stop shop for all your browsing needs. Hover over any kanji compound and this app will do all the translating for you. I found this incredibly useful for reading practice (esp. on news articles etc.).

Jisho.org: One of the best dictionaries out there. Sorts most kanji according to JLPT level.

Tofugu: A good general starting place to find resources and read interesting articles about Japanese culture, ex-pats working in Japan and Studying in Japan. They also have a special series on applying for the JET Program!

Grammar

Particles? Verbs? Subjects? Conjugations?

JGram: All grammar is sorted by JLPT Levels. A good overview of common grammar structures.

Tanos: Also JLPT sorted

Introduction to Japanese Syntax, Grammar and Language: a comprehensive overview for beginners

NHK World: Lessons from the Japanese Public Broadcaster NHK. Largely Beginner’s Level.

Dictionary of Japanese Grammar (beginners) (advanced)

Handbook of Japanese Verbs: Beginners guide. Very handy pocket size so great for revision for the beginner-intermediate level.

How to Tell the Difference between Japanese Particles: Comparisons and Exercises: something to help with those pesky particles!

Writing (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji)

Learn your alphabet(s) gdi!

Japanese Lesson

@ryohkei is a Japanese calligrapher who handwrites beautiful characters + stroke order and definitions. Very informative, given that handwritten kanji may differ from their typed counterparts.

@kanji-a-day

Practice Writing Sheets

Charts (hiragana, katakana)

Networks

Get you in touch with other native learners!

Textbooks

Kanzen Master

Tobira: highly recommended for those who are in the awkward intermediate - advanced plateau! Traditional Textbook format.

Tanki Master

500 Essential Japanese Expressions: A Guide to Correct Usage of Key Sentence Patterns: really useful for revision and to bridge the intermediate-advanced gap.

This blogspot: Lifesaver. Just, trust me on this. Please.

Multimedia (Youtube, Podcasts)
