Japanese Studies

So shortly after I started this blog I decided I would try to learn Japanese, anyways a lot has happened in my life since then (we've moved, and had another baby!) and that goal has somewhat fallen by the wayside...however now that fall is approaching soon and everyone is getting back into their routine I want to achieve that goal. Before I started slacking I was able to master Hiragana, and started studying Katakana.


So to jump start my studying I ordered Let's Learn Hiragana from Amazon since I have already forgotten a few hiragana and was never able to write them very well.

I must admit though my language studies faltered, I have learned so much about Japan and about Japanese culture.  I am thankful for all I have learned and the new friends I have made. Thank you all my blog friends and readers. You all have allowed me to learn something new everyday!

LOVE THIS HIRAGANA VIDEO!

Okay so I stumbled upon this video looking at dannychoo.com ::love that site:: and even if you aren't trying to learn Japanese you can't help but appreciate the kawaii factor of this video in teaching Hiragana..

::textfugu::

its official.  i’m in. for life… i made a promise to myself that if i studied japanese everyday for a month i would go ahead and take the plunge and buy textfugu.  well i have studied and so its time to take my japanese learning to the next step.

 textfugu has seemed like the most realistic tool that i could use to learn japanese.  i have looked at a few others but i get bored super quick… so without further ado …

my journey has just made it passed my first, and im sure it will not be my last, road block

Smart.Fm Update

Almost there…99%.  I haven’t done it everyday though.  I get burnt out easily and use other methods….and I definately do not want to lose my motivation..

 

After all.. the turtle does win the race in the end of that story….

Apparently you can only be studious in a given amount of time...
