I haven't had any time to learn this week, but I did try to watch news in my target language. Understood 20% for sure and the rest, well not so sure about the rest.

Also: sorry for not replying to your messages lately in weekly threads. I read them all, but get caught up with holiday stuff before I can properly write an answer.

Interesting. I've got Claude instructed to give me pointers on Japanese feminine speech here and there, and this makes me think how it loves to use an archaic/fiction-only, feminine sentence affix for some reason. It's pretty goofy and even a touch dramatic, like how you'll hear lines in English like "We are not so different, you and I" scenes with villains that you'd never hear in real life.
