I live in Tokyo and want to get more comfortable with Japanese.
I sometimes write in lang8 at http://lang-8.com/342891, please check it if you want to friend or correct me.
I'm mostly focusing on reading/grammar now. http://www.youtube.com/user/jlptn1?feature=mhee is my youtube channel where I used to stream my jlpt n1 kanji/vocab flashcard study time. I passed it but just barely, so I'm still interested in studying for it.

Is it normal to use ただいま in situations other than ただいま戻【もど】りました? ah, I didn't realize you were the OP. Doh. |

Does this use of だろうか indicate assertion of an opinion? I'd say most だろうか uses that are not（できる）だろうか are more uncertain, but （できる）だろうか as in the above examples is almost certain negation by the speaker, stronger than のではないだろうか. |

Is it normal to use ただいま in situations other than ただいま戻【もど】りました? Yeah, again, my judgement is totally subjective, so if you've heard stuff like 只今、面白い事に気付いた just let me know and i'll edit it, besides learning something. Right now 先、面白い事に気付いた feels better to me though. |

Understanding a JLPT practise question with ものなら @DaveMG it is also often used as "use it (some bad thing) as an opportunity" when being optimistic or "exploiting/taking advantage" when being kind of negative (as in this case). Often with して as "それをいいことにして". |

Why does someone intend to die in this JLPT question? 死ぬつもり is kind of like (死ぬ)覚悟 and sound like exaggerations that you see in samurai movies (except there they are not exaggerations). But it seems like they are often used without necessarily implying humor, like when you are preparing for a big event like a test or a competition, even though it is very unlikely you would die. So it seems to specify a level of effort. |

Understanding a JLPT practise question with ものなら Also its good to note my stumblings - ものなら has more than one use - Here it is with a volitional verb, which means "once you do X then Y (bad thing) will happen." But with a potential verb before it as in XできるものならY it means you don't think X is possible, but hypothetically if it were, Y. |

Why is a place that sells さけ a さかや? I don't really have anything to add but I just saw this question and this is a really cool explanation. |

Understanding a JLPT practise question with ものなら This made me double check the meaning of ものなら and I realized my translation was wrong. I'll update it. |

Why is に応{おう}じて the wrong answer in this question? This にこたえて should be に応えて. |

Why is に応{おう}じて the wrong answer in this question? Also the 'in accordance' part of に応じて is more like a 'depending on’ as in 'i'll pay you (in accordance with/depending on) the quality' It's a bit more like によって to me. |
