I’ll check this evening if there are non Basic sentences still in the courses. You should see during the preview if it’s an Intermediate or Advanced entry.

There are no distinctions between:
あいつに二時間も待たせられた。
あいつに二時間も待たされた。
and
日本では、お酒を飲ませられることが多い。
日本では、お酒を飲まされることが多い。
Hi there! I currently at SGJL 03 - Remembering the Kanji + KO2k1 pt 1 , Lesson 2 (RTK 16-56) and it misses few kanjis (13) that i learned in book (Remembering the Kanji, whic was linked) at lesson 2. It misses: I 吾, Risk 冒, companion 朋, chant 唱, sparkle 晶, spine 呂, rising sun 呂, stomach 胃, nightbreak 旦, gallbladder 胆, span 亘, concave 凹 , convex 凸, prosperous 昌. And by looking at numbers next lesson seems so skip word’s too (Lesson 3 (RTK 57-90) but only 15 is here )
Tosha,
The course is actually using the 555 kanji from 2001.Kanji.Odyssey Book One and presents them in RTK learning order. Basically, you learn 555 kanji that comprise 75% frequency use in Japanese literature, then go on to vocabulary list that only teach words that only use kanji from those 555 (or is kana only).
The skipped kanji will be taught in later courses. The next 555 are from 2001.Kanji.Odyssey Book Two for course SGJL 08.
Added (させられる) and (される abbr.) to distinguish them. I also fixed the other issues you mentioned earlier. As always, thanks for the help.
oh, so I should look what kanji in lessons (not book, but this website) and learn them from book? Sorry didn’t know that, Thank you.
Will you update Intermediate Courses soon?
Just asking,take your time.
Yes. I may have to make another thread since I cannot edit the top post in this one.

その人だけが好きだったんだ。Pretty sure the audio says ず instead of す

No way to tell apart
申し訳ありません sorry (formal)
恐れ入ります sorry (formal)
恐縮です sorry (formal)
Hi, I was starting to go through SGJL 03 and noted that the readings of the kanji aren’t taught/tested, but rather in the meta data. There are also multiple readings for the kanji, so which one should I memorize? Or should I learn all of them? Thanks!
The Kanji courses in this series are meant for learning to use an English prompt to recognize (and write if you want) the equivalent Kanji character. The Japanese pronunciation and vocabulary that use these Kanji are not necessary till you get to Vocabulary courses such a SGJL 05.
Essentially, it’s designed to give you a knowledge of Kanji as a native English speaker similar to what a native Chinese speaker would have when they go to learn Japanese vocabulary.

Ah thanks. So even though I know Chinese, would you recommend I still go through SGJL 03?
If you already are comfortable with hundreds (or thousands) of Kanji and can figure out the difference for the Japanese variances, I’d say there’s no problem skipping that course. Perhaps scan the 555 kanji and make the decision from that.
Sure. Thanks!
