Most Year 12 Japanese students download a past paper, do it once, check the answers, feel vaguely bad, and download another one. That is not practice. That is a slow way of finding out you were right about what you already knew. This gui...

Villains get the best lines in anime — and they are also the lines learners repeat most often without knowing what they are actually saying. Some of them are ordinary Japanese you could use tomorrow. Some are archaic, theatrical, or so r...
