Hey and sorry for the late answer :bowing_man:

I tried but couldn’t remember the place nor find a source about it, so I decided to remove that part for the time being. If I find anything, then I will make sure to respond here.

I am really sorry for causing confusion and inconvenience :bowing_man: :bowing_man: :bowing_man:

漫画の主人公:「これから、ずっとずっと強くなるぞ。」

This review tripped me up, I didn’t see any mention of this doubled up pattern in the lesson. Assuming this is just a way to emphasize the meaning of “far more?”

Hey @danzuo !

Yes, ずっと can be repeated for emphasis! It is similar to how ‘way’ is sometimes repeated in English like, ‘It is way, way hotter where I live’.

I hope this answers your question! :sunglasses:
