I learned it's easier to learn verbs in their ない form first, vs. their dictionary form first. Makes recognizing the difference between Godan and Ichidan verbs 100% easier and removes the need to "remember" the "hidden/fake/lying" verbs that parade as the other verb type. The trick to doing it is far easier and I hate how Genki teaches it in the book. Leaving me with only having to learn the conjugation patterns for Ichidan, Godan, and Irregular verbs. Far, far easier.

I have a question for the greater Japanese language learning community.

What is something that you wish your learning materials would explain better/do better/differently? This could be anything you have found yourself going "Man I wish they did X instead of Y" or "Z would be so much easier than learning it like B." Anything at all. https://www.tumblr.com/new/ask/senchastudying Send them here or reblob this. Up to you.

Please reblob this so I can get a wider net of answers. Please and thank you. <3 Oh and happy October. 🎃

For your question about what people wish was different about Japanese learning materials, something that I've always disliked about most resources is how they teach 'conjugation' because it's unnecessarily complicated. It doesn't help that Japanese 'conjugation' doesn't resemble at all what you do in English, Spanish, French, German, etc. because it's not really conjugation like that. It doesn't indicate number, person, mood, or tense beyond the simple past and non-past. This video is honestly the best resource I've found for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhyrskGBKHE&list=PLg9uYxuZf8x_A-vcqqyOFZu06WlhnypWj&index=8 , and I wish verbs were taught like this in other places too.

For me, learning verbs in the ない form first really helped, but I know that other people find different ways easier. I have an explanation why I do this on my blog. Conjugation seems to always be one of those topics where no one is satisfied and everyone wants a better way. :( Waiting for the Matrix downloading right to the brain on this one! Thank you for the video, I actually haven't watched any of Cure Dolly's stuff, but I've heard that her videos are pretty alright, if a bit dated on a literal technical level, not subject level. I'll have to poke through some of them and see if any of the information sticks. Again, thank you very much for answering my question!
