Hello!
I hope everyone is doing well and those who took the JLPT aren’t too nervous about their results! After a period of working on other things, we’re happy to announce that we’re refocusing on our push to add missing grammar points to Bunpro!
This post is here to announce what we’re adding, explain how we will approach missing grammar from now on, and also to remind newer users of what we are planning to add (and how you can best make suggestions).
What’s New This Time?
We’re starting off by adding 11 new grammar points across different levels:
- ます (N5)
- く・に (N4)
- ガン (N1)
- むず (Non-JLPT)
- 何やら (N2)
- どうにか (N1)
- なりとも (N1)
- 次第に (N2)
- 訳あり (N1)
- ~て頂戴 (N2)
- に値する (N2)
Of course, all new grammar points come not just with a writeup but also come with a full set of example sentences. Be sure to check them out! Please note though that we do not have audio for these new grammar points yet, but the audio will be coming very soon!
Besides new grammar points, in some cases, frequently requested additional information is better served by being added to our existing grammar points. For example, this time we are also updating the writeup for たりする with some extra information on the たりして pattern.
What Comes Next?
From now on, we are planning on releasing around five new grammar points per month!
We will be filling some gaps in JLPT grammar and, in an effort to be more comprehensive as a general learning and reference tool, we will also be adding more grammar that is considered to be outside of the JLPT. You can currently find these points at the bottom of the Grammar List from the Content menu, or can search for them directly.
‘I Have a Suggestion!’
In the original announcement about the future of missing grammar, we shared a priority list. We will continue to focus on that list for the moment, although suggestions are always welcome.
The original announcement thread is still the best place for suggestions however we will try our best to keep track of suggestions wherever you may make them. We may or may not have a secret list behind the scenes
文アマから文プロへ
On the content team we are busy working away on various other projects, as well as continually trying to improve the content we already have. Although we can’t quite talk about any of the other projects yet, we hope everyone will enjoy the new grammar writeups, and we thank you for all of your suggestions and feedback so far!
We’ll see you for the next batch of new grammar next month!
