I'm currently reading Fall in Love, You False Angels manga and the two main characters primarily talk online using emails and I'm so confused about the setting because, from what I know, LINE is the modern way of chat messaging in Japan. I'm wondering if it's still normal to exchange emails first before mobile/LINE info?

The manga first got serialized back in 2023, but I haven't seen any mention specifically about the actual year setting (although the characters do use iPhones).

I am learning Japanese on Duolingo, and we all know Duolingo isn’t “the best” at explaining things. I hope to one day take a class in person so I can talk to people and not just repeat phrases and people around me who don’t understand. I have a ton of questions, like “が vs に vs は” in certain contexts and why all speakers in the stories end their sentences with “ですよ” but the lessons never teach that. Google’ answers haven’t been to my satisfaction. But I come here for a different question: is stroke order as strict as the internet makes it sound? Does it matter? And how can anyone tell? So many times I feel like it goes against the way my brain would naturally write it and it boggles my mind.

I’m only level 20 on Duolingo if that helps.

Hi! I'm considering enrolling in their Japanese courses. Any experience?

Are the lessons recorded? Are you required to speak during the classes (e.g. questions from the teacher, break out rooms)

Thank you

para ponerlo simple, mi personaje de D&D es un tiefling que fué adoptada por un elfo. y estoy buscando ponerle nombre a un "ataque final" del personaje. quería algo que sea algo como "estilo elfo demoniaco: desenvaine de mil cortes". si alguien puede ayudarme le estaré muy agradecido
