日本語が下手だよ。

Since I changed my blog name, many of the links on my older masterpost no longer work, and I've posted a lot about kanji (and many diary entries!) since then. So, I decided an updated masterpost was in order!

Below, you'll find many of the same links, just with new blog name (nyahongo) instead of the old one (chokopan). I've also updated the reading practice section, the kanji section, and added a section about the Marugoto material I've already posted (Starter A1 and Elementary A1 levels - I'm still working on Elementary A2 material).

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“You can also break up dialogue by placing the em dash inside the quotation mark, but—” She took a moment to catch her breath. “—you must treat the action like a sentence. It must be capitalized with an end punctation.”

“When humans speak, we often get sidetracked (and share information that may not be all that pertinent, a secret, or something we probably shouldn’t be talking about). Use parenthesis in your dialogue when you want to demonstrate this.”

***

“If you’re writing a long monologue, then it likely needs to be broken into multiple paragraphs. Because one long paragraph of dialogue that takes up an entire page or multiple pages is very hard on the eyes.

ah yes, my favorite game

(the other characters are here for color comparison)

red? red-orange???

(the other characters with red eyes weren’t very clear in this image so no comparison)
