Rikai specifically is *exactly* what I wanted the most. Not because I need to learn grammar, but because I need to get used to stop pulling the translator off and start reading actual chunks of text.Pretty sure that I'll need actual conversational audios when I get to anything greater than A1/N5 tho :blobcatsweat:

surprising how much you can pull off with such few pieces of Japanese, even A1-1 can be handy (although keep in mind it's not meant for tourists, for that you can try many other materials like the NHK's Easy Japanese)

“Notice that for certain morphemes that begin with the morae chi (ち) and tsu (つ), their rendaku forms begin with the morae ji and zu, spelled precisely in hiragana as ぢ and づ, which explains the use of these kana in contrast to the identically pronounced じ and ず (see yotsugana). This isn’t a hard and fast rule, however, because it’s relaxed in certain older compounds or names, especially those that are so consolidated that they could hardly be recognized as compounds anymore, but rather, as single words themselves.“literally why
