New Grammar! - March 24, 2020

[Kai]

I can’t remember the Japanese word for the nuance that あげる has; I thought it was 視下, 観下, or 見下, but it appears to be none of those.

I came across the word I was looking for here, although it’s a noun: 目下 (めした)
Conversly, there is also 上目 (うわめ).

We apologize for the wait! There were a number of factors that prevented us from releasing these grammar points to you sooner. We will be more consistent about adding future/missing grammar points, squashing bugs, and improving features in the following weeks. Once Tobira is finished we will be able to redirect our focus to N1 grammar. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Cheers!

[asofterbutch]

Just out of curiosity, do you have a schedule for your grammar focuses? E.g., you’re currently doing Tobira, then N1 grammar points; do you know what you’ll focus on after that?

I’m interested because I’m currently working through みんなの日本語２, and finding quite a few grammar points that aren’t on Bunpro yet (I was surprised that the imperative form doesn’t seem to be here, unless I missed it?). I’m adding them as self-study points for the meantime, but it would be cool to know that they’re planned for the future!

Thanks for all your hard work, I’ve found Bunpro to be a really valuable tool.

@asofterbutch Thank you for your question! We have a list of grammar that we would like to add (including the imperative form) after we have finished adding Tobira and N1. However, it might be some time before we can get to this list as there improvements that need to be made to the site (bug fixes, overall performance, search, Cram, additional Paths, and current features needing attention will take priority over additional content). Thank you for your kind words. We hope that we can continue to live up to your expectations and we hope to have something for you soon. Cheers!

I was just about to add my last N3 grammar point today…and then I saw this

[Kuromaku]

You should be happy that they are adding more grammar to learn and practice

It’s been just two months and I have already finished N5 and N4, with a good bunch of N3 done. I hope they continue to add more and more things to practice

So far it has been the easiest way for me to learn grammar and immediately apply it in real time

[s1212z]

They are now tears of joy

Looks like you are progressing rapidly, awesome!

I’ve never even seen the Tobira book but these all look super practical. I’ve put my Soumatome N3 grammar book to the side. My last count was ~130 and now BP is past 210 (plus the sentences are overall more challenging here).

[asofterbutch]

Thank you for the response! That makes sense. I’ll keep adding my own study points in the meantime, all that example sentence writing is good for me Cheers!
