Sorry guys!

I didn’t enjoy the paper-dictionary then because of how much longer it took (some things are listed by 終止形, others by 連用形, and we didn’t learn the rules by which they were sorted until a few weeks in – or I didn’t, anyway), but I did do well by the end of it. Thanks for reframing for me!

Which I don’t really understand, since I kept trying to tell them all about weblio, but I guess that goes to show how little attention they paid in that class.

But since you had to use the paper dictionary, didn’t you end up learning more? Since you had to try to figure out what the modern definition was saying about the kobun you were looking up.

We had to flip through the monstrous Iwanami Kogo-jiten. :( So, no rikaichan, either.

Then when I finally look up part of it, it turns out the weblio kobun uses the exact sentence I’m trying to decode. I do love me some kobun though.

Thanks for leaving feedback! Ganbatte!
