Thanks so much for the reply and information, Madame Sensei San! -- :D No need for "san" because "sensei" takes that place. .... I noted I could type the basic vowel translations in Hiragana (あういおえ) but I couldn't figure out how to use Wa or any others. Any help to use the other...

Did you ever get a full "current" word list for the Japanese course ? There have been some recent changes about how Duolingo uses words in lists and allows access to the community to words, and/or no. of words learned in courses. And have not given an indication of if they will return the...

I personally can highly recommend resources by our @Madame Sensei .

I hope people will take the time to check them out.

My dear friend, daKanga! I miss working with you on many things like this!

ようこそ, アビさん！ If you are interested in the history of kanji, you might check out my YouTube series where I was filling in the gaps of the Duolingo Japanese course for my students. Because memory is both visual and spatial, I show my students how the kanji evolved and what it is supposed to look like, ...

🇯🇵 Watashi wa nihongo o hanasemasen With your permission, I'm going to transcribe it to kanji and kana. Also I would drop the subject and change the marker を for は (日本語は話せません). Maybe our dear experts @McGonnagle @Madame Sensei or @zerogrqvity could help us ;) Sorry I am late to the party! I tripp...

Duolingo has a convention? Neat!

Every year! DaKanga went in person to the very first one! But then the pandemic happened, so after that, they all became virtual.

Madame Sensei

I'm not surprised you have been busy ! You always have been for as long as I've known you. I also hope your book is going well. For those interested in what I'm talking about check out this link to Duocon 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIcXNPVD4dA :) That was my fifteen minutes of fame. I've ...

こんにちわ!ふぉすたあーです(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠) that's as far as I can probably get without Google translate, but it's nice to meet you all!

Hi, Thomas.Heiss! I used to work as a professional translator for many years... Having heard over 200 dubs of movies come together, I can tell you that the AI voices don't bother me too much. ;) What is a problem is that sometimes Duolingo has programmed in the wrong pronunciation for a given syllab...

Hi, are there any popular French songs, that are sung around the bonfire with just guitar and group of friends? Could you hint some (idealy including sheets with notes or accord marks). Thank you. I just handed over to some of my students sheet music to Belinda par Claude François, which really des...

Madame Sensei

Could someone be interested in assisting in making word lists in French, either from words from the podcast, or for this topic - being about sailing. And perhaps we as a community could create some puzzles. One site that looks interesting is : https://www.puzzlefast.com/ Though I have not yet run i...

Madame Sensei

I wonder how you could add to , for example that resource to make it even more of a class resource ? Hello, my dear friend daKanga! I have been slowly recording the episodes with pictures. Here is an example, which I put on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBO1i0qlAEc As much as ...

Madame Sensei

I will just quickly add that the reason that the pronunciation is different is for the same reason that we don't talk like Shakespeare any more -- Languages evolve. The whole line は・ひ・ふ・へ・ほ used to be pronunced a little closer to a "w" sound, but as the years and centuries went by... There...

Just to add to what Explorer has said so eloquently with an absolutely gorgeous picture, there is a concept of あわれ. This means "You'd better appreciate it before it's gone." You will see the image of cherry blossums in a lot of love poetry. "We were so happy together, and then it was ...

Extra content: a Japanese toilet going crazy due to a bad command. The rebellion of the machines.

Is this your picture, Explorer? I would like to show it to my students, and I want to give proper credit.

Madame Sensei

With my master's degree in Japanese Literature (because I am a nerd and love to read), I have to admit that I will miss all the authors that have traditionally been on the money. But I do appreciate all the scientists and educators, and you gotta admit that the new designs sure are pretty.

Madame Sensei

Ah, I remember how freaked out I was the first time I saw an electrical cord coming out of the bottom of a toilet. I was like, "Isn't there water in this thing?? Isn't this dangerous??" I hold the toilet up (okay, not literally) as an example of how Japan will often take a concept or techn...

As a teacher (not of Mandarin, but of French, Spanish, and Japanese), I do enjoy the voices. I get a kick out of how different they are between the languages. When Duolingo Stories finally rolls out in Chinese, the voices will be different still (because they will be actual actors). When the voices ...

@Madame Sensei — That’s very interesting to see the different things you are doing with Quizlet— thanks for showing me some of them! But right now, it’s the middle of the semester, I have 4 classes, and I just don’t have the time to work on a collaborative project. Depending on what my summer sched...

My understanding is that the upkeep was too difficult, because the programming was an entirely different set. I had hoped that they would make them "read only," with no ability to create your own set, but alas. For the record, none of the programmers who frequent the Educator's Forum are a...

Do you like it, Explorer? I considered buying a set for my classes, but then decided it wasn't as much fun as grinding your own ink. The whole process is very meditative and calming. And the students like putting their best kanji on display on the walls of the classroom. Yes I do like it very much!...
