私のせんせい。。。(watashi no sensei)

。。。すごいです！！！(sugoi desu)

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna san)

My Professor is really amazing and a very cool person! I want to tell you what he did!
First of all, this is my Professor who is fluent in 日本語(nihongo), so that already boosts his awesomeness. But what is really cool is that he knows I'm teaching myself 日本語(nihongo) and so after my test in his class today, he asked me this: 日本語のべんきょがどうですか？(nihongo no benkyo ga dou desu ka)
XD
Well, that made me smile! ^-^ I am very lucky to have a せんせい(sensei) like him!

Oh! Also today! I made a sentence that for some reason I'm happy I was able to come up with it so early in the morning. 日本人がどこですか？(nihonjin ga doko desu ka)
The context of this is that there are no 日本人(nihonjin, Japanese people) around where I live and go to school. So on our way to school, I'm explaining my frustration to my mother the best that I can and I come up with 「日本人がどこですか！！！」(nihonjin ga doko desu ka)

Here, I found a random 日本語 for you. ^-^
Word: ましょう (-masho)
Meaning: a verb ending expressing the speaker's intent or an invitation
Example sentence: 重そうなかばんですね。お持ちしましょう。(Omoso na kaban desu ne. Omochi shimasho) That bag [suitcase, briefcase] looks heavy. Let me carry it for you.

I thought that -masho was a very courteous and gentlemanly word/verb ending (not that I do so well with grammar...) so I wanted to share it. So it's not as random as some because I actually found it ahead of time, but that's fine too. ^-^

Well, that's all for now. I think I did well on my tests/exams at least! And now it's the weekend! 元気！！！(genki!)

みんなさん！(minna san) Enjoy your weekend おねがいします！(onegaishimasu)

あの。。。ありがとうございました！！！(arigatou gozaimashita)
I'll see you on 月曜日！(getsuyoubi)
さよなら！(sayonara)

Hai!

こんばんは！！！みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna san!)
金曜日ですね。(kinyoubi desu ne)
あの、今日わ (ano, kyou wa)... um... 三(san) February... です。(desu)
I should learn how to say the months...

So! Random 日本語 (nihongo) Dictionary time! (It's been a while, hasn't it! ^-^)

Word: 教室 (kyoshitsu)
Meaning: classroom, schoolroom
Example sentence: 教室の中では静かにしてください。(Kyoshitsu no naka de wa shizuka ni shite kudasai.) Please be quiet while in the classroom.

So, this week has been crazy with a lot of school stuff and personal stuff going on, but hopefully next week will be better!

Thank you very much for reading! ありがとう！(arigatou)
Also, I have a request! If you have anything Japanese/Japanese related that you would like me to post about, please leave a comment for me! I like learning about Japan and I would be more than happy to do a bit of research granted I have the time!
さよなら！(sayonara)

No snow for Christmas...

こんにちは！(konnichiwa)
Hello everyone!

So, there was no snow for Christmas where I live... T.T Much sad.
I love snow sooo much!!! 雪大好き！(yuki daisuki)

so... Random 日本語! (nihongo)
Word: 優しい(yasashii)
Meaning: gentle, tender, kindly, considerate
Example sentence: 田中さんは心の優しい人です。(Tanaka san wa kokoro no yasashii hito desu.) [Mr.] Tanaka is a kindhearted person.

Ah, I like that word!

Oh, there's another "yasashii".
Word: 易しい (yasashii)
Meaning: easy, simple
Example sentence: 日本語は易しいですか。難しいですか。(Nihongo wa yasashii desu ka? Muzukashii desu ka?) Is Japanese easy? Or is it hard?

Well, two in one day isn't so bad. I'm actually really happy because I could mostly understand both of the example sentences when I was reading them! I hope that means that I'm improving!!!

Anyways, my goal this year is to become fluent in 日本語！(nihongo)
It's going to take a lot of work and I most likely will not become fluent in just one year, but It's important to have goals in life and I recently realized that I don't have any goals for myself...

Please support me on this journey!!!

Thank you for reading my blog! ありがとうございます！(arigatou gozaimasu)
I'll write again later this week! Bye bye for now! さようなら！(sayounara)

メッリクリスマス！！！(merry Christmas!)

こんばんは！元気ですか？(konbanwa! genki desu ka?)

I'm very happy today! Because this にちようび (nichiyoubi) is Christmas!!! ^-^

I like Christmas very much!

I'm very happy about that! And on top of that we are having a guest to our house! XD

OK, on to the 日本語！(nihongo)

Word: 石 (ishi)
Meaning: stone, rock, pebble
Example sentence: この橋は石でできています。(Kono hashi wa ishi de dekite imasu.) This bridge is made of stone.

There are two more "ishi"s in my dictionary so I'll list them also, but with no example sentences.

意志 (ishi)- means "will" (be weak willed// be firm willed// of one's own free will)

意思 (ishi)- means "intent, purpose, intention"

So! Here is a funny post from Maru-chan! ^-^

Also! DANCEROID was part of a flash mob!!! XD

So, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I will write again on げつようび！(getsuyoubi)

(note to self: learn the kanji for the days of the week... 0.o)

バイバイ！メッリクリスマス！！！(bye bye! Merry Christmas!)

Time Management

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna-san!)
How is everyone today?

So, have you ever had those times when you want to get something done and then you don't do it?

That's what I'm going through right now.

I wanted to practice kanji every day because I slacked off around exams, but I've only practiced kanji a few times this week... I feel kinda bad about it.

Don't get me wrong though! I listen to and watch things in Japanese every day! (For the greater part of the day.) So I have a high intake of Japanese every day, which is a good thing. The problem is that what I wanted to do I'm not doing as much as I should.

Anyways, moving on: Random 日本語 (nihongo) time!!! ^-^

Word: むく or 向く (muku)
Meaning: face;turn toward, look toward; suit, be geared for
Example sentence: わたしの部屋は南に向いています。(Watashi no heya wa minami ni muite imasu.) My room faces south.

I feel bad for only giving one of the examples when the dictionary gives multiple... but I can only hold it open with one hand and type with the other for so long before I feel like my hand is losing feeling! ^-^;

Well, I've taken enough of your time. I guess I should go practice kanji now that I'm thinking about it... but that probably won't happen! ^-^

Does anyone else not like peanut butter but find themselves eating it rather frequently? 0.o

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

ごめんなさい！！！(gomen nasai)

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna-san!)
ごめんなさい！(gomen nasai!)
I'm sorry that I didn't post yesterday! I have no excuse! v.v

So... My school is finally over now... So I'll be practicing 日本語(nihongo) more often now! Yay!

Anyways, I don't remember what I was going to post yesterday... hopefully it will come back to me as I type! So Until I remember, here is the random 日本語(nihongo) of the day!!!

Word: たけ or 丈 (take (tah-keh))
Meaning: length, height, stature
Example Sentence: このズボンは丈が短すぎます。(Kono zubon wa take ga mijikasugimasu.) These trousers (pants, slacks) are too short.

Ah, I love my Japanese-English Dictionary! ^-^

あの。。。Please enjoy random things that I have found this week!

Dance I love: けいたん・暴徒・今岡さん】Cyber Thunder Cider サイバーサンダーサイダー 

Song and video I love: World's End Dancehall ワールズエンド・ダンスホール 【PV作ってみた】 
Oh, the song doesn't start till 1:35 or somewhere around there, but watch the beginning to understand what's going on. ^-^

Maru-chan! <3

Oh! I remember! I found an anime this week and it was very interesting! I enjoyed it! The anime is called Kaze no Stigma! Here is some more information about it. ^-^

Thanks so much for reading today!!! I'm sorry about my late posting! Please have a safe weekend!
