@pinkrose1422 Not too sure to be honest. There doesn't seem to be much information available. Thanks for the heads up about the website though!

We took two Star Trek-like pocket translators to Japan, used them, and then reviewed them for you. Here's what we thought: 1) ili translator: tfg.li/2syVfSv 2) Pocketalk: tfg.li/2HffSIs Spoilers: they were surprisingly not bad, but we REALLY hated the voices.

@Starkangelus44 We are still alive! We promise! We are focusing our attention on @WaniKaniApp right now, but Tofugu still has a lot of evergreen resources such as grammar articles and "How to study Japanese" type stuff!! We may hop back on the blog train in the future. 😀

@tofugu I find this way of organising the hiragana easier to learn. So far done only 'a' and 'ya'. May be Japanese have a reason not to. My reasoning is keep together the letters that are changing incrementally. Also reflects how consonants are ordered in Indian languages. WDYT?

@IamWhiteHeat Unfortunately, as far as I know it isn't possible to use the IME in such a way, you would have to re-type the word.

I have a technical question. Maybe you can help? Say you start typing without checking the input mode and see, e.g., kinnyoubi when you were after 金曜日. Is there a way to convert it without typing it over again? Is it IME dependent? I'm just using the Microsoft one.

@tofugu I just finished reading your How to Type in 日本語 guide and found it super useful. I only have an English keyboard and was getting annoyed having to click through menus to switch A/あ, but thankfully figured out the alt+`/shift+caps finally.

@KansaiTensei We may do some more in the future but we don't have plans to do any at the moment I'm afraid.

Did you know that if you know 1000 Japanese words, you will understand 60.5% of Japanese text? I have a paid course that makes you completely master high-frequency Japanese words in realistic contexts Try it for $1 today

@PanJamGames When you bow, as long as you understand the custom and show respect, the person you are showing that respect to will understand the limitations of your physical ability, and most likely won't think anything of it. If they do, then they probably aren't worth bowing to anyway!😎

@tofugu I was reading your article on bowing, after getting no results on Google other than archery 😅 are there any videos or guides with examples of bowing in a wheelchair?

@herokustatus This problem is back, latest incident started at around 5 AM PDT and has been sustaining since then. Please look into it. The H21 have significantly increased request queuing times even though incoming traffic is fairly normal.

@itagane_san Hi, unfortunately the team decided to stop EtoEto a while ago. A lot of things have changed significantly since we released WaniKani and Textfugu, and we've changed course when it came to teaching grammar. We still write about grammar over on Tofugu though.

@tofugu Hey, is @EtoEtoApp still in production? I was looking forward to it when you announced it years back and can't find many updates past 2018...
