浪人 vs. 老人

浪人 - rounin - rōnin; ronin; masterless samurai​

also: waiting for another chance to enter university after having failed the yearly entrance examination​; person out of work; jobless person​; wanderer; drifter​

老人 - roujin - the aged; old person​

@aidoku and @uni-venture this seems to fit the rule you mentioned about pronouncing it ‘にん’ when describing the actions of a person and ‘じん’ when describing the attributes of a person, in cases when the word ends in 人.

I signed up for a new account to take a peak at it, so if you’re impatient that might work for now? and then you could just test out of the stuff you’ve completed on your main account when it releases.

I’ve actually tried that! Unfortunately not all new accounts get the updated version (mine didn’t, but my boyfriend signed up and got the new tree), so I’m not entirely sure what their criteria for it is lol. So I’ll just have to suck it up and wait 😅

NVA JUNE - A LANGBLR CHALLENGE

So, what even is this?

NVA stands for Noun, Verb, Adjective. The goal is to write a sentence or a small paragraph containing all the words prompted that day, as seen in the images above. You get to be creative, maybe learn some new words, and overall just practice your target language. Win-win!

How do I participate?

Easy peasy - just write! Write in your notebook, on your mirror, on your hand, or post to tumblr, just write something for that day and see if you can do it throughout the whole month. Of course, if you post it online, the whole langblr community can help each other out and come with corrections, so we all learn even more!

Rad! Anything else I should know?

You have to use all three words in your entry for the day, but you may of course conjugate all you want. If you post it online, be sure to tag it either as #nva challenge or #nva june, and I’ll check it out and reblog things! If you still have questions, feel free to message me at any time.

Go forth and conquer your target language!
