Took Japanese on and off through college (2 years of classwork total). Studied abroad at Kanazawa Institute of Technology for one summer. Anime and video game enthusiast. Always interested in polishing my skills. My greatest sources of practice these days are watching anime and playing Japan exclusive video games. Right now I have a goal to read a Japanese 17 x 11 book cover to cover.
大学の時日本語を断続的にとりました。ある夏金沢工業大学で留学しました。アニメやビデオゲーム狂です。いつも技能を磨きたいんです。主な練習の仕方はアニメを見たり日本語のビデオゲームをしたりすることです。 今私の目標は日本語の新書を読むことです。

What is the difference between 出す and 始める when used as a suffix? I'm always skeptical of "more formal". In general, if something says "more formal" as an explanation, it's either wrong, or there's a lot more to it than that. |

How to separate words in a Japanese sentence? @Pitarou "私はあくまで執事ですから。" Sebastian's catch phrase from Black Butler is a good example. |

How do you write the sound “wu”? @istrasci Swoozie Kurtz doesn't have her own Japanese wikipedia page, but I managed to find her name on the page for Liar Liar. It's transcribed スウージー・カーツ. |

Positive Past Plain form of Iku is Itta not iita? I've always wondered this myself. |

Does the lack of は change the sentence? Unfortunately, I'm not confident enough that's the answer. Particles on adverbs is one of my weakest areas of Japanese. |

Can のほうが be omitted when answering a question? One of the most useful questions I've seen on this site, and it has a vote for not constructive?? |

Does the lack of は change the sentence? In this sentence きのう is an adverb, not a noun. There would normally not be a は unless it were specifically needed for emphasis. |

Why do Japanese speakers have difficulty pronouncing “L”? @Dono yes, but it is a direct result of the nature of the language. The question may not have to do with the language but incidentally, the answer does. |

Why do Japanese speakers have difficulty pronouncing “L”? I would say that it is about the Japanese language, but it's too basic. The OP clearly is not at all familiar with the Japanese language, so I say not constructive. |
