- Grammar Does Not Exist 2 [looking back, this was an unnecessary act of conciliation intended to placate to the grammarati; I am through trying to please everyone. Ramses is right. The truth is that you-do-not-need a declarative knowledge of grammar; you need a working, physical, almost kinesthetic one; declarative knowledge/study of grammar tends to impede this rather than help it. Ultimately, things are said the way they are said because that is the way they are said. Period. Full stop. End of sentence. 終止符. So-called grammar rules are virtually always ugly, exception-ridden patterns observed and "imposed" ex post facto]

At the time I took a look at a few article thought it was cool bookmarked it and never went back, why I hate bookmarks they are so useless but that is anther story.

There are a lot of trolls out there hating you. [@RevTK]
Don’t worry khatz, they have no reason to hate.
Just do what you do, sir.
Without you, I’m certain thousands of people wouldn’t have succeeded in learning a foreign language (including me)
Many people would have quit a few months into their endavors.
Incredibly motivational site for people that need structure, and for people that need to be spoon-fed.

[...] AJATT – (All Japanese All The Time) Probably my favourite site so far, doesn’t contain much in regards to learning materials, (I think all that is in AJATT Plus, which I’m too poor for) but contains lots of articles about getting yourself into the right mind set, and the most efficient way of learning a language – listening to it, all the freakin’ time!! Khatzumoto’s writing style is also quite nice, but I am a fan of the tough love / cut the bullshit attitude. Basically, you can do it, get on with it, but by getting on with it he means listen to music, play games, do anything fun in Japanese. And screw lessons. Awesomesauce. [...]
