Thread: Jordon Method & Level 3 Post: Jordon Method & Level 3 I think what your idea of what a 'set expression' is, is a bit off. Every single thing I say in English is an example of set expressions mixed up and put together as I see fit. For example in your sp... |

Thread: Jordon Method & Level 3 Post: Jordon Method & Level 3 Where are you comments coming from mentat_kgs? Did someone recommend to ignore the writing system? If so, I certainly missed it. And nest0r, if you have found a way to learn a language without memor... |

Thread: Jordon Method & Level 3 Post: Jordon Method & Level 3 Like it or not, a language is 90% patterns. You can't be "completely creative" and make any sense. You have to speak within a structure of the language. Of course you are free to substitute any voc... |

Thread: Jordon Method & Level 3 Post: Jordon Method & Level 3 OK I think we are talking at cross purposes. At no point did I say you should not learn the Japanese writing system if you are learning Japanese. I just stated the fact that it does not belong in th... |

Thread: Jordon Method & Level 3 Post: Jordon Method & Level 3 Yeah I remember learning kana in about 2 or 3 days before I even started Japanese class just by making out some vocab lists on flash cards with it. I thought the whole point of romaji was it was some... |
