Some fun stuff!!! XD

こんばんは！！！おげんきですか？(Konanwa! Ogenki desu ka?)

Yay! I get to post again! I've been saving some cute videos and stuff for you all week! Here ya go!!!

【あすぱら】Kipple Industry Inc.キップル・インダストリー【気まﾌﾟﾘ】 
The dancers are so cute in this and the ending that they did was really funny! I hope you like it as much as I did!!!

I love how graceful the dancer is in this! She's adorable!

OK, those are the only YouTube videos I'll post for now, but I have something AMAZING in store for you! So, I mentioned in my post a week ago that I met someone who had said that they would help me with にほんご(nihongo). Well, he followed through with that and gave me some really good resources! And he showed me an awesome site that won't teach you the language but will give you pointers for reaching your language goal and will help you along(in a way). It's called ajatt.com ("all Japanese all the time")

One thing he told me was to try to immerse myself in the language. This is very important (as I read in the website I talked about above) because you are simulating being raised in Japan(in my case, but it works for any language). So, he suggested some movies for me to watch.Well. It just so happens that one of the movies he suggested was in the school library. So I checked it out and watched it and......................... It topped the list as my number one favorite movie!!! It topped Pride and Prejudice!!! No other movie has done that for me!!! The movie is called "Departures" in America(my friend said that the original Japanese meant "the Departed" but oh well...) and I highly recommend it!!! You can find more info about it in this link.

So, yes. That's what I wanted to share! I hope you find these fun and helpful!!! I really do recommend watching "Departures"!!! Thank you very much for your time in reading my post!!! I'll post again on げつようび(getsuyoubi) if I am able! And I apologize for not having much にほんご(nihongo) in this post...

ありがとうございました！！！さようなら！(arigatou gozaimashita! sayounara!)

Sooooo....

Ah, こんばんは。。。(konbanwa)

I don't really have anything to talk about today... This week has been rather stressful, so please forgive me for not talking about anything fun. y the way, My last post was on Sunday. I think it was pretty clear that that one counted for my Monday post so... I dunno where I'm going with that...

Ah, I did meet someone who has been to Japan before and they said that they would help me learn some more Japanese!!! ^-^ I learn languages better when I can talk in the language so this is really good!

So, I guess that's all for today, I have to see if something is installed on my lappy now. Thanks for reading!!! ありがとうございます！さようなら！！！(arigatou gozaimasu! sayounara!)

As a side fun thing because this post is a bit boring, I'll give you a link to more fun from Maru-chan!!!

Yay Stella!

You all remember my friend Stella, riiiiiiiiight? ^-^ if not, I mentioned her in this post.

Well, Stella recently stole my idea for this blog and started her own for Korean! (It's ok, technically I stole the idea from some vlogers XD)

Well, Stella was kind enough to link to my blog, so I'll link to hers too!!! Please check it out!!!

Bitnan Byeol

Have fun! ありがとうございます！(arigatou gozaimasu) さようなら！(sayounara)

Yay post!

こんにちは！！！(konnichiwa)

So, today I'll e talking about two things!

First! I was just practicing にほんご(nihongo) in the library the other day and I wanted to share what I wrote because I thought it was funny! I will not put the romanji in until the end because I actually wrote in parenthesise for part of it and I don't want it to be confusing... not that that sentence wasn't confusing, but... ^-^

Second! I finished another of the books I told you about in my post called ほんです(hon desu) and I want to share some of the parts that I thought were funny from that book!

Here we go!!!

....................................................................................................................................................

おはようございます！げんきですか？

げんきです！<3

あの。。。

きょうはもくようびです。あの。。。あたし。。。あああ。。。0.o

I don't have my dictionary with me and I haven't practiced my にほんご in a while, so sense I have the time and I finished reading for history and my math homework... ah, run on sentence that I can't tie together anymore... あ。

さ！。。。ココロ？kokoro? =0

くがつです！(It's September!)

Hm... maybe I should work on memorizing the months next... 0.o

あおいがすきです！ <3

a ア i イ u ウ e エ o オ
my first katakana! >-<

・「おい。。。あなたはともだちですか？」
・「はい！ともだちです！<3」
・「やった！」

Don't know where that came from... 0.o

^-^ iku-suru-kuru! (go-do-come!)

...Don't know where that came from either... 0.o

....................................................................................................................................................

So! the romanazation of all the hiragana will be here in order of appearance in the actual... whatever it is, let's call it a note! ^-^

Ohayou gozaimasu! Genki desu ka? (good morning! how are you?)
Genki desu! (Fine, thanks!)
Ano... (um)
Kyou wa mokuyoubi desu. ano... atashi... aaa... (today is Thursday. um... I... aaa...)

sa! kokoro? (so! ( I was experimenting with how to write kokoro so the meaning is not relevant in this case. It has no meaning right now, but kokoro is one of my fav. words!))
kugatsu desu! (It's September!)

Aoi ga suki desu! (I like Blue!)

"oi... anata wa tomodachi desu ka?" (hey, you're my friend, right?)
"hai! tomodachi desu!"(yes, I'm you're friend!)
"yatta!"(yay!)

.........................

OK! So, in the post mentioned above, I talked about a book called Making Sense of Japanese, What The Textbooks Don't Tell You by Jay Rubin. Well, I finished it and I want to share some quotes from it! ^-^ enjoy!

- Ame ni furarete komatta / "Being fallen on by rain, I was distressed" / "Damn, I got rained on."

- "Pardon me, officer, but I've just been rareru'ed," you say to the policeman.
"Oh, sorry to hear that, sir, but what were you rareru'ed?"
"I was rareru'ed someody's having stolen my suitcase."
"How's that again?"
"I was stolen my suitcase!"
"What an odd way to put it!"
"Of course it's odd. I'm Japanese, and that's how we phrase these things when our English is a little shaky!"

-Well, where's the steak? It had vanished. Or rather, it never existed. I denied myself the steak, told myself that I was being good and doing the right thing by saving my money instead. I mentally enjoyed the imaginary steak to compensate for the unexciting act of handing my money over to the teller. Sigh.

- Amerika no kata desu ka / "Are you an American?"
Amerika-jin no tsumori desu kedo... / "Well, I was last time I looked..."

- ...Itadakimasu, meaning more or less literally, "I humbly receive." (Literally, it means to place something above your head or hold something over your head, a gesture intended as a humble expression of awestruck gratitude, but don't do this with your food.)

That's all! All of these are form the second half of the book because I didn't think to share them until I was past the half-way point. ^-^ I hope you liked them! If you are learning Japanese and you are pretty far along then I suggest this book. As I said in my post that I have linked to, this book is a bit ahead of me. It was very fun and educational despite my insufficient skill right now! So! Um... Ya, this is all for now! I hope you liked my post for today! ありがとうございます！！！さようなら！(arigatou gozaimasu! sayounara!)

おやすみなさい。。。(oyasumi nasai)

あああああ。。。 こんばんは(konbanwa)...

So, I'm tired. I got in bed and was about to go to sleep when I remembered I wrote something on my hand earlier, so I thought about it and realized that I wrote "Post on Blog! おねがいします！！！" (onegai shimasu)

So I'm laying here on my bed in complete darkness other than form my lappy. I'm sacrificing my sleep for you!!! XD

Anyways, I've been practicing some new words for the past few days so I may write another mini story on きんようび(kinyoubi)... Do you like the mini stories with にほんご(nihongo) words? I think they're fun to write so I'll continue writing them! ^-^

Thank you for reading!!! ありがとうございます！！！(arigatou gozaimasu) I'll post again on きにょうび！(kinyoubi) For now, おやすみなさい！！！(oyasumi nasai)

ピカピカする!(pika-pika suru)

こんばんは！(konbanwa)

Hello everyone! おげんきですか？(o-genki desu ka)

So, I have been practicing my にほんご(nihongo)these past few days and I have a new favourite word!!!

ピカピカする(pika-pika suru)

ピカピカする means "glittering" or "shining"! I like shiny things, so obviously I like this word (or is it multiple words... "pika-pika" and "suru"? but put together they mean one thing... and "suru" means "to do"...)

So, はい！(hai)

That's all for today! ごめなさい(gomenasai), this post is very short. Thank you for your time!!! ありがとうございます！！！(arigatou gozaimasu) I'll write again on げつようび(getsuyoubi) hopefully! (I have some down time between classes, but the computers at the school don't have the ひらがな(hiragana) setting on them and I don't feel like copy-and-pasting characters from Wikepedia so, the post may or may not have にほんご(nihongo) in it!) じゃまった(Ja matta)... I'll be going now! Have a wonderful weekend! さようなら！(sayounara)

(Side note: If you are awesome and know Japanese very well and you happen to read this and find flaws in my Japanese, please tell me! I still have a lot to learn and I know that half the stuff I write is probably a bit off. Thank you very much also for reading my posts!)

ひらがな(hiragana)

This past week I have been working to master ひらがな(hiragana). Well, I think I finally have! The only ones I have a hard time with anymore are ね、ぬ、ゆ、む(ne, nu, yu, mu). Aside from those, I can tell what they are after looking at them! I don't have to think so hard about them any more!!! ^-^ やった！！！(yatta) So, it's a pretty big accomplishment because it's taken me this long to learn them. I'm glad! Now I can move on to かたかな(katakana). Of course, I'm not going to use the katakana setting  in these posts yet if I don't know any! XD

So! はい(hai).

.............................................................................

Ah, I should stop procrastinating on my homework... Maybe my goal for this semester is to not procrastinate... hmmm, might be worth a try. Well, I have to get up early tomorrow so, さようなら！(sayounara) Thanks so much for reading again! And thanks for reading if it's your first time too!!! ありがとうございます！！！(arigatou gozaimasu)

An Obsession...

こんにちは！！！(konnichiwa)

So, hello there! きょう(kyou) I'm talking about one of my many obsessions. (There are a lot!) So here I go!

Ouran High School Host Club.

Ouran High School Host Club　がすきです！！！(ga suki desu)

So, I really like Ouran! I love the あにめ(anime)! (I've actually never read the まんが(manga), but I've been told so many things about it: it's confusing, it's not that great, it's amazing, etc...) But I really like the あにめ(anime).

So, I shared the あにめ(anime) with my amazing friend who is learning Korean (let's call her Stella!)... I don't think she watched it when I showed her...

Anyways, a few weeks ago, Stella asks me, "Didn't you like an anime called Ouran High School Host Club?" That got me explaining how amazing it was. SO! Stella then sent me a link. This link is the amazing-awesome link that lead to the much happiness of...

Ouran High School Host Club Japanese Drama!!!

(Did I mention that Stella likes Japanese and Korean dramas?)

YAY! So, I fell in love! The drama is currently airing in Japan on Friday nights! (but I still have to wait for the English subtitles to come out because I'm not very good still.....)

So, I will share this joy with you and send you to the first episode!

OK, I'm going to do my にほんご(nihongo) lessons this weekend like a good おんなのこ(onna no ko) so please expect にほんご(nihongo) on げつようび！(getsuyoubi) (I can say that because I don't have classes on Monday! :D)

ありがおうございます！！！(arigatou gozaimasu) Thanks for reading, as always!!! I appreciate it very much! さようなら！(sayounara)
