最近、対面のグループレッスンを受け始めました！
I started taking in-person group classes last week!
And I noticed that I can understand what the teacher said (the class is 90% taught in Japanese), but am having a hard time with my writing, so I need to start practicing writing more (too much typing).
Going through the list of shows on Netflix but can’t even pick one!!!! I can relate to that from the podcast.
自分はやることもないし、見たいものすらないのか！！？？？
I have nothing to do, and I don’t even have anything I want to watch?!
Usually used in a negative way.
〜子供ですら知ってる。
Even a child knows that.
With the timecode from the podcast
as X then Y
年代が上がるにつれ、いつも会うのは難しいです。
As the years go by, meeting often becomes difficult.
Noun + につれ/につれて
Verb (dictionary form) + につれ/につれて
につれ is the shortened form
I forgot which podcast episode this was from but it was from
This is like me trying to do potential, causative, causative-passive, and passive forms. I find myself doing the conjugation step by step which is way too slow for speaking.
This is by far the best interface that I’ve used! It doesn’t have causative-passive, though. That’s okay because I can practice that when I get the others down.
For my reference.
This one has more challenging modes, like changing from a non-dictionary form.

For causative-passive practice
Workbook: Verb Conjugation (Causative-passive) – Lesson 23 | Genki Study Resources – 2nd Edition
And the above is also a great resource if you’re using the Genki textbooks.
