// カタツムリかわいい

I'm certainly partly responsible for that wall o' text. Should there be a separate room for extensive discussions in Japanese? Or should we try to encourage holding multiple conversations in multiple languages in parallel? (is that feasible?)

Ideally if it's a private discussion you'd just make a room for that conversation

this is the first line of shirokuma cafe: 今日からもう８月かあ. What's the かあ at the end?

It's the question か plus an elongating あ

oh, didnt know you could make questions with no verb

It's being used really informally

yeah, it makes sense in the context

thx

would ヒマ mean something different when written with katakana?

nope, same thing

just stylistic emphasis

dont know if it might be a bit too advanced for me

there are things i get

but other, such as なったらまた

i dont get, even looking it up on google

秋になったらまた to be precise

また is referring to some verb that is understood through context

Hm, thanks to some lyrics, I just wondered - is it possible to know, without context, whether 「赤い{あかい}薔薇{ばら}の姫{ひめ}」 means "red princess of roses" or "princess of red roses"?

Welp, I gotta read up on how to do furigana in chat again

Any ideas for easy to read manga for a beginner? Just finished the first genki textbook and about to start the second one (thats more or less my level)

Something real real real simple I can read and not have to constantly look up words in a dictionary

@Daniel From what I heard, Love Hina is relatively simple, with furigana.

I have a chart flying around somewhere that rates various manga and visual / light novels according to difficulty for beginners, dunno where atm though

Ill look into it
