Small words part 2

Postby Karen » October 12th, 2006 4:16 am

This is inspired by WCR9's recent post regarding "small words."

Does anyone else have trouble with words for making transitions between sentences, like shikamo/shikashi, soredewa/sorekara, dakara?

They seem like powerful tools in the conversational arsenal, if only I could get them in my head. Any tips? Is there a "master list" of these words somewhere so I can study them? :)

A large portion of the JLPT test in every level focuses on the use of conjunctions. Pick up a JLPT level 3 study guide.
