This month I take a look at the really excellent little conjunction それが and how it can be used to efficiently express subversion of expectations. I also follow up on Anki and writing kanji based on some interesting tweets and potentially even give myself a new Japanese project. Ask me in a year if I've kept up with it. Check out the newsletter and the blog for additional content. Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to [email protected]. You can also follow How to Japanese on Substack, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
