New fountain pen ink. Iroshizuki in shade Syo-ro “Dew on a Pine Tree”
“The color of pine is the most representative of Japan’s evergreens and has long been celebrated as symbolizing eternal permanence. This shade of green conjures a dewdrop reflecting the pine needles.”
I learned a cool new thing about the process of ink making in Japan, and I also got to laugh my ass off reading through the comment section because the narrator accidentally made it sound like the guy making the ink has been doing it for over four centuries! 🤣
I learned it's easier to learn verbs in their ない form first, vs. their dictionary form first. Makes recognizing the difference between Godan and Ichidan verbs 100% easier and removes the need to "remember" the "hidden/fake/lying" verbs that parade as the other verb type. The trick to doing it is far easier and I hate how Genki teaches it in the book.
Leaving me with only having to learn the conjugation patterns for Ichidan, Godan, and Irregular verbs. Far, far easier.
