Future of Bunpro’s (missing) Grammar - Update!

We were focusing on other things for a while, but I can confirm that we have actually just started working on these again and are hoping to release between 5 and 10 new grammar points per month. We’ll just be slowly but surely going through the list while we work on other projects at the same time.

Hi Asher, can you tell use more about this? For example, at which level will these grammar points be added?

They will come from many different levels, and some of them may not even be full grammar points, they could just be fun-facts that we will add to existing grammar. The majority of them will probably be N+ or N0 though (whichever you prefer to call it. Things that don’t really appear on the JLPT but are grammatical structures for all intents and purposes.

Oh yes, I loved the N0 grammar points - they are so underrated! By the way, even if there isn’t a real-person audio sentence, it is always nice to have an audio for the sentence. On a small screen (smartphone, tablets etc.) it helps to go through detailed kanji without zooming every time.
Have a nice day!

Grammar points are our top priority for human audio, so we will most likely have professional audio for them right from the start, as we have a voice actor on the team on a more permanent basis now.

A formal N+ deck would be great!
(or N0/whatever deck)

I think I’m in the right place for this post, but apologies if not…

どのように - “in what way”

どの+よう+に

例: この文法はどのように使いますか?
例: どのように勉強しますか?

It seems to be a more formal/specific version of どう, which itself comes up only as Vocab.

I found it in vocab as an unclassified entry but I’ve encountered it in the wild when speaking with native speakers.

Hi Asher, thank you for your prompt reply.
What I meant is that even if audio track isn’t yet available for some sentences (for example this grammar point, in the meantime, a “synthetic” audio would be nice to help with the reading. Have a nice day!

I don’t think that’s a grammar point necessarily. I always encounter it as common vocabulary. Could be wrong on its classification though

As far as I am aware, rather than being a unique grammar point, this would probably just be considered a combination of どの and ように, which are each themselves separate individual grammar points. Hope this helps!
