Mini Japanese Grammar Lesson: Particle に (ni) to mark the location where something exist

One of the many usage of particle に! Do you remember the other usage reviewed on our previous lessons? So far, we’ve learned the usage of particle に to :

- Mark the target of an action - Mark the point of time where something take places - Mark the purpose when someone going somewhere - Mark the place toward which someone/something moves and - Mark the location where something/someone exist

Make sure you reviewed the lessons so you can get a good grasp on all the purpose of particle に!

Happy learning °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Language Pen Pal project

Hi everyone!

My name is Tas, and I’m from Sydney, Australia. Recently, I was thinking to myself “how cool would a Pen Pal Project be, but with language exchange?” So I decided to launch The Bi-lingual Mingle Project! Basically you just put in your target language (or languages) and your language of fluency- to find someone who has allignent language goals. ie. I am currently studying Spanish but fluent in English so my Pen Pal would be studying English and fluent in Spanish! I have attached the link to the project below and would love to create a space where an international audience can interact!! Please fill the doc. for your new Language Pen Pal!

Lemony bright Legrandite. This rare mineral occurs in the areas of zinc and arsenic deposits that have been altered and oxidised by passing waters and occasional pegmatites. Originally found in Mexico in 1934 and named after a Belgian mining engineer and avid mineral collector who first collected it, it has also been found in the Tsumeb mine in Namibia, that fount of many lush minerals. A hydrated zinc arsenate, this specimen displays the perfect bright yellow that characterises the highest quality. While it has long been loved by collectors, it is too soft (4.5 on Mohs scale) to be used in jewellery, though occasional faceted gems have been cut.
