For corkscrews (or lifts), this tutorial is brilliant: I can do it 90% of the time after practising for an hour thanks to her mug of tea tip! Enjoy!

First lesson tomorrow! We’re using “Minna no Nihongo”. I self-studied with the first volume of “Situational Functional Japanese” by Tsukuba University (this course has three separate materials to purchase: one book for grammatical and conversation notes, one for the practise drills and two drill cassettes). It was a brilliant way to learn for an English speaker, helped me grasp more than just structure and grammar as it deals also with natural conversation (the speakers on the cassettes speak at native speed). It’s a bit expensive once you buy everything but it was worth it. We’ll see how it goes with “Minna”.
What books do you recommend for studying Japanese? I’m also interested to here how much time you invest in your Japanese study (frequency and duration).
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
