So they say essentially the same, just Bunpro talks about two more kanji for the same phrase.
Edit: I assume there will be people who will write をもとに just so that they don’t have to choose the kanji; some to leave it vague, some as they have forgotten about the difference.
Joining the club! I started Tobira a few years ago, but dropped it after a while. Time to pick it back up.
I started a Tobira study group on the Wanikani forums a few years ago. The threads for the first chapters have lots of replies, the threads for the last chapters have none. So I think having everything in one thread is better. The threads are locked now, but you might find some answers in the discussions, at least for the first few chapters.
Happy studying!
Thank you, that’s very helpful!! As the textbook and the additional resources don’t have an answer key.
Chapter 5 Video Questions
I don’t know if someone wants to cross-check my answers …

(The videos are hilariously 90s style and the audio quality is horrendous, but well maybe that will train my ability to ignore background noises)

Finished Chapter 5!
This was a useful chapter for me, and I liked the expressions in the dialogues for how you state differences/commonalities in dialogue. I will most definitely overuse 気がします from now on.
I will probably start Chapter 6 in the upcoming days (after brewing a little). For me, my previous checklist worked well to keep track, so I think I will keep it.
Week 1
Do Introduction pages
Listen to the main text audio only
Read main text without looking anything up
Read through vocabulary, highlight unknown words in the list
Read main text again, highlight unknown words/kanji and look them up
Listen to the dialogues audio only
Read / shadow dialogues and vocabulary, highlight unknown words
Answer the reading understanding questions
Work through grammar section, 2 pages or ~5 grammar items each batch
Cross-lookup grammar in ADoJG and Bunpro
Highlight grammar structures in main text/dialogues
Do the grammar exercises per batch
Do the kanji writing sheets (just tracing and memorizing)
Week 2
Do the application grammar exercises
Read / shadow the dialogue practice dialogues
Do the kanji PDF from the website
Do the extra grammar PDF from the website
Do the expansion grammar exercises
Do the pairwork exercises
Do video and LPO questions
Read the extra cultural note
Review by re-reading all the texts and focusing on grammar
Review some exercises online on Seth Clydesdale’s Tobira page
Chapter Complete
Congrats on finishing chapter 5!
I haven’t started yet because I was reviewing my previous book and I wasn’t sure know where to start with Tobira.
There’s a lot of material (I have the Grammar and Kanji books too).
Your checklist looks super helpful, do you mind if I use it as template?
Not at all!
Also if you start feel free to make an entry in the participant wiki (I link my current list there as well).
I’ve not started yet either, I’ve fallen a bit behind with MNN so need to catch up on that first.
Your checklist does look very useful. I never thought of something like that as I usually just tick off pages or chapters as a whole. Breaking it down like that does seem a lot more useful. I still need to work out my study schedule for Tobira but will post on the table once I start.
Thanks again for setting this up
