A place to point out typos in the lessons.

I figured it would be better to just make a thread for it instead of making a post in each individual lesson (I'm not sure if you guys are notified about posts there).

SHIZUKA is a NA afjective NA 静か.

Quote:

....or even with grown-ups who are speaking when they should not in a authorative context.

Should be "an authoritative"

Haha, figures spell check would tell me its "authoritative" and not "authorative"...the ladder totally seemed like a legit word.

Good idea Martyr to have typos posted in one spot.

Yellow Belt 3rd Kyu - At the hotel
Test question: How to say 152,546 in Japanese?

Validated answer:

Quote:

juu go man ni sen yon hyaku go juu roku

Correction:
juu go man ni sen go hyaku yon juu roku

Corrected. It was actually 152,546 that should have been 152,456 to be coherent with the French version

Should be: speaking about

Yellow Belt 3rd Kyu - How is the Weather?
Test question

Quote:

aMong the adjective hot (暑い-ATSUI) and cold (寒い-SAMUI), which of them can be used only for the weather?

Should be: Among the adjectives

Actually, "among" in this case sounds a little awkward. Perhaps the sentence should start:

"Regarding the adjectives hot and cold . . ."
or
"As regards the adjectives . . ."
or even
"Between the adjectives . . ."

Corrected!

Orange Belt 1st Kyu - Japanese verbs - part 2
Exercises 3 & 4

I'm not sure if this is a typo or not, but it seems that Exercises 3 & 4 deal strictly with -RU verbs. Yet, when conjugated to -TE or past neutral (-TA), the forms used are -TE and -TA, not -TTE and -TTA as was taught in the Grammar section for -RU verbs.

Raphael · **Posted:** Wed 27 Apr 2011, 18:54

Corrected.

Yes you are right, the exercises you pointed out should belong to the next lesson. I moved them.

Thought I did this last night, but whatever. I just noticed Lotze15's comment in the lesson too, and they pointed out that it should probably read pineapple. I automatically though bananas without even reading the romaji/kana.

Oh? Google translate told me "ananas" was German for pineapple, weird how close it is to bananas.
