“Deep End”

My Japanese supplies

These are my favorite books, textbooks and supplies in general for studying Japanese. Sorry if it’ s a big post.

These are my textbooks. The Genki II and its workbook are good for practicing but they have many group activities which suck if you study on your own. The tobira is really good, it has many reading activities and cultural notes but it’s a bit more advanced.  For the living language books, I’d say the advanced one is more intermediate but they’re good for practicing and learning vocabulary.

These are my dictionaries. Tbh, I don’ t like the essential kanji dictionary, I don’t find it useful. The Japanese Verbs is a really good book, it has all the conjugations and examples and it explains them to you. The picture dictionary is a really fun way to learn more vocabulary.

These are my readings books. The ones about the cat are really easy to read, the folktales one is a bit harder but still very entertaining and Read real Japanese is more difficult but enjoyable. 

These are the notebooks I use.I use 5mm notebooks for repeating kanji and a normal notebook f everything else.

These are some extra books that are useful for improving your Japanese and sounding more fluent. 

And at last but not least, I use a lot of flashcards for writing every new kanji I learn. If you have any questions just ask! ❤️

“cute” in German

The basic translations for “cute” are either: niedlich or süß (the second one also meaning sweet like in taste) and here are some phrases and other words you might encounter or want to know! :) Some synonyms: drollig - cute and funny, derpy (like when a cat does weird but cute stuff) flauschig - soft and fluffy (in a cozy way like for a blanket or any animal you wanna touch) fluffig - fluffy (like an angora rabbit or a cake) klitzeklein - really small, very tiny knuddelig - cuddly knuffig - small and cute, cute so you want to hug it because it’s helpless and harmless lieb - lovely, kind, well behaved herzallerliebst - really very lovely and kind and cute (lit. heart-all-lovely) putzig - cute (can include animals wearing cute things), “not pretty but still or therefor cute”-cute, smol and cute weich - soft winzig - tiny zum Knutschen - cute so you wanna kiss it (knutschen=küssen - to kiss) Wie niedlich!/Wie süß! - How cute! Wie niiiieeedlich!/Wie süüüß!etc. - How cuuute! (you know, more vowels = more cuteness) (niedlich) aussehen (sieht aus, hat ausgesehen) - to look (cute) der Piepmatz - small and cute (song-)bird die Schnute - (belittlement of die Schnauze - snout) small and cute mouth (like of a cat) Diminutive (belittlement): Add -chen (sometimes -lein) to almost any noun. All nouns ending in -chen are neuter. Pay attention to vowel changes that usually occurs: a -> ä die Katze -> das Kätzchen (cat -> kitty or kitten) a final -e often disappears o -> ö der Vogel -> das Vögelchen (bird -> birdy) u -> ü der Hund -> das Hündchen (dog -> puppy-dog) u -> ü das Buch -> das Büchlein (book -> small book) au -> äu die Maus -> das Mäuschen (mouse -> cute tiny mouse) e, i, ei and eu don’t change. For example: e -> e die Ente -> das Entchen (duck -> duckling) e -> e das Ferkel -> das Ferkelchen (piglet -> smaller piglet) i -> i der Fisch -> das Fischchen (fish -> small fish) ei -> ei das Schwein -> das Schweinchen (pig -> small pig or piglet) There are also rather childish suffixes like: -leinchen, -i, -ilein, -ileini, -ileinchen, which are almost only used in speech. And regional suffixes like: -le. For example: Hundi (my aunt had a dog named like that… :D ) Hundileini (this is what a 5yo might refer to when they talk about their really cute and lovely dog) unser Katerle (our dear and lovely male cat) I probably forgot some stuff (like always) but those are some basics. And of course it’s not very easy to describe the exact difference between all those “cute"s. I’ll make a list of belittled/cute verbs later.
