## Resource

This month I talk about the importance of giving up! (What!?) I also examine a sentence from a very difficult essay and talk about 修飾 ( shūshoku , description/modification) and 主題 ( shudai , topics). At the end I go over a few additional reviews of the English translation of Murakami's latest novel and discuss a usage of 伺う ( ukagau , to ask/to hear/to visit) that I neglected to include in last month's episode. Check out the blog and newsletter as well. Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to howtojapanese@gmail.com . You can also follow How to Japanese on Substack , Twitter , Instagram , TikTok , and Facebook .
