Actually, translating is a rookie mistake. Japanese nouns like 'standard' or 'impression' aren't actually nouns. They're abstract states of motion. When a shopkeeper talks, you shouldn't translate 'tenshu' to shopkeeper. Just picture 'shop-ness'. It's binary. If you translate, you fail. I mastered this in two weeks. Just look at a word and let it show you its frequency.
