learning japanese using tae kim’s guide! apparently my friend managed to get her japanese to N5 level just by a few years of watching anime and no formal lessons?? i think that’s amazing - i’ve been watching anime for a year (i used to just read manga) and so far i’ve only been able to pick up basic phrases…

El que no llora no mama
If you don’t ask you don’t get
Lit.: Whoever doesn’t cry, doesn’t breastfeed (or get breastfed)
e.g.: “Quería sentarme al lado de mi amiga en clase pero no pude porque no se lo pedí al profesor.” “Claro, el que no llora, no mama.” – “I wanted to sit beside my friend in class but I couldn’t because i didn’t ask the teacher.” “Of course, if you don’t ask you don’t get.”

The obsolete English -k suffix is my new favourite thing (source). It’s also the same -k that derives “hark, hearken” from “hear”.
Days of the week with time grammar! A way I was taught to remember them is with the mnemonic “nine green kangaroos stole my kid’s dog.” If you have any questions, feel free to ask
