i fail.
hi everyone!
niemochan and i have started our daily Japanese study sessions (to get us ready for Japan this August ^o^) and i realized how much fail. we've been on hiragana for...2 days? and--yeah. it's fun, though 8D we reward ourselves with omurice and watching videos hahhaha
and i'm really bad at guessing songs DX see, what we did is we wrote a line from a song that we both know, and we have to read it and guess what it is. i spent, like, 10 minutes trying to guess 「しんじているんだ あきらめないんだ」 DX -fail-
yesterday, though, we did "intensive reading and writing" XD we looked up the lyrics to a song we both don't know, write the whole thing in hiragana, then we read the other person's. it took us 15 minutes each to read it all~ it was really funny, though, 'cause we read really haltingly and sounded each character out, and we didn't know where the breaks were (for words) and stuff LOL
i read UTAO-UTAO, which was so funny; i was like, "to dokuu ta ou ta o...oh. todoku utao utao XDDD"
anyhoo, yeah, it's fun. i don't know if we can do it today, though, 'cause i have dance and confirmation =3 we'll see?

22%. fail.
niemochan and i have started our daily Japanese study sessions (to get us ready for Japan this August ^o^) and i realized how much fail. we've been on hiragana for...2 days? and--yeah. it's fun, though 8D we reward ourselves with omurice and watching videos hahhaha
and i'm really bad at guessing songs DX see, what we did is we wrote a line from a song that we both know, and we have to read it and guess what it is. i spent, like, 10 minutes trying to guess 「しんじているんだ あきらめないんだ」 DX -fail-
yesterday, though, we did "intensive reading and writing" XD we looked up the lyrics to a song we both don't know, write the whole thing in hiragana, then we read the other person's. it took us 15 minutes each to read it all~ it was really funny, though, 'cause we read really haltingly and sounded each character out, and we didn't know where the breaks were (for words) and stuff LOL
i read UTAO-UTAO, which was so funny; i was like, "to dokuu ta ou ta o...oh. todoku utao utao XDDD"
anyhoo, yeah, it's fun. i don't know if we can do it today, though, 'cause i have dance and confirmation =3 we'll see?
