requests for transcription/transliteration,
translation checks/proofreading including homework help,
all handwriting posts,
"what's the difference between X and Y",

and so on. Such posts will be removed; repeat offenders and posters found to be deliberately evading the Automoderator warnings will be banned.

#No "how do I learn" posts

Broad questions on how to learn Japanese, kanji, what app/textbook to start with, etc. are not allowed. Please check our list of FAQs before posting your question. See the r/LearnJapanese Starter's Guide for information on how to get started.
