This conjunction is often written in the hiragana alone and implies that something is more-so whatever it was before. It can also be used as a side note also well. This conjuction also, though it can be used in the beginning of a sentence can also serve a similar function in the middle of a sentence between two clauses; of parts of the sentence.

This is a special and unique interview with my friend John Fotheringham from Language Mastery a wildly popular podcaster and writer who has been on everything from Fluent in 3 Months to Business Insider. We have been exchanging a couple of emails and kindly answered my questions for this podcast. Check it out!

Interview w/ Toru Fukuyama: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/13151423
1. At what point do you think language learners cross the line between using a tool dictionary or mnemonic system as a tool and into a crutch?
2. What is your opinion of Japanese Textbooks like Genki, Yokoso and Japanese from Zero?
3. What role do you think mistake making plays in Japanese language learning?
4. What about Japanese have you found interesting lately.
5. The Japanese tend to focus alot of speed reading as of late, do you think those are skills useful in learning another language? And if so at what point?
6. If you suddenly *poof* forgot all the Japanese you knew and had to start over, but you retained all the knowledge about how to learn a language, how would you re-learn Japanese?
7. In language learning, do you believing in maximizing strengths (like exclusively speaking or reading etc) or making sure you have a solid well-rounded base in learning? If so, please elaborate.
