um just read the group rule and um im gonna join... k ehehehe *sigh*

I know that the question is stupid,but having learned Minna no Nihongo 1 (grammar,vocabulary and kanji) is enough for 4th level,right?I'm currently revising,so I was wondering if I'll need all these tons of kanji(250) we've studded to get the 4th level.Most likely no,right?However de,ni,ga and to are killing me.I can't do more then 60% of them in a test and I bet even this is thanks my luck.
Somebody willing to share some formul for easy remembering where-what and mainly why?
Ok,ok,I know there is none.It's no use asking somebody to make me one.Lets get to my stupid Japaneese language free talk.

nihongo ga ii to omoimasu.hiragana to kataka de kau ga iides,demo kanji ga arimas.Kanji ha chuygoku de karimashita.
renshuu de nihongo o benkyousuru ga itchiban suki,demo renshyu ga taihen.taihen na renshuu de nihongo ha(ga?) taihen ne.taihen na go(I'm not sure it's fine to use it single) ga omoshiroi ne.

Quote by CrescentvnNow, I'm in summer vacation (natsu yasumi, I guess), I am self-studying right now. Can u guys help me about if clause in Japanese. Dose it split into three groups like English, basically, tell me all about it, . Ah, about comparison in Japanese too, I think it's a bit complicated. Well, that's all for now, please help me, ne.

By "If" clause do you mean conditionals? I'd have to find that in my books again. But comparison I can cover a little bit of, at least one method.

Basic Structure: ____ no hou ga ____ yori

Things that are better or more precede no hou ga and the lesser of the two are followed by yori.

Ex: Ichigo no hou ga ringo yori oishi desu. Strawberries are more delicious than apples.

The word order can also be reversed and mean the same intention.

Ex: Sake yori biiru no hou ga ii desu. Beer is better than sake

Amerika to Nihon to dochira ga ookii desu ka. Which is bigger, America or Japan?
Amerika no hou ga ookii desu. <-- Can omit the "than Japan" when it's understood.

Quote by miraku-spikeThanks for putting some sentences up for us to read and understand. But, the only thing is, is that we might mispernounce the words wrong. But even thou, its better than nothing. Thanks again.

I think it'd be best to get a pronounciation guide post on this main page, maybe above the "Lesson" block. If someone were to write it in a forum reply like here, then it'd just get lost eventually and have to be repeated....
