Hello everyone,

Just when I thought I was getting a handle on things, Japanese throws another curveball: verb conjugations, specifically the te-form (て形).

My brain feels like it’s melting trying to remember all the rules for different verb groups. Group 1 verbs ending in う, つ, る change one way, ぶ, む, ぬ another… and then there are the irregular ones! It’s a lot to take in, and I keep mixing them up.

Yurika says it’s crucial for connecting sentences and a whole bunch of other grammar points, so I know I need to master it. Right now, though, it just feels like a nightmare.

Send help (and chocolate)!

Best,

Oliver
