k ouo

I.. will try to do the first page then xD

lol well let me know when you're done.
and if u have any questions let me know.
but i will think of a topic to put up next.
cause i forgot what i wrote xDD

owo do a segment on Arimasu, Arimasen, imasu, imasen ect.. xD


owo,

mmk.
i thought i had.
but i can do that! ^^
that is quite easy.

are you on skype right now.. I'm ready to turn in my paper owo, I did bad i know it

no but now i am. which one r u?

Dk is DK on everything! ouo

good to know.

as i said on skype, i will have the new thing up in the next couple days.
im wondering how far i should go with this xDD

do you know where i can find some good online japanese children books that are in hiragana? ouo

no.
but i can look.
i think this is one but its not showing up correctly for me:
http://yumeyomiena.web.fc2.com/osyou...bikata_ja.html

hm.. not showing up for me either.. its all squares and stuff.. and i know my laptop can do japanese language cause.. half my programs seem to want to stay in japanese instead of switching to english xD

ditto for me.
maybe its jus too old of a website. /shrugs/

I tried searches my self.. but i found kid books with kanji in it >x<

yeah.
there are books out there cause i have a couple but i can't find them right now T^T

if u need practice reading, maybe try looking at raw manga scans. they usually have furigana (the hiragana to the right of the kanji) on the page

ah right! ouo i think i has some raws somewhere x3

to be honest, that is the best way unless you have access to magazines or wrappers or various other japanese paraphernalia.

I have a shoxx magazine!.. that has Kanji everywhere xD

Oooo I found something! ouo

http://life.ou.edu/stories/

is this good?

PERFECT!!
that is the perfect ones! <3
it even has translations!
i suggest momotarou, kaguyahime, omusubikororin, and hanasakajijii
^^ those are some of the more well known ones

Yay i found something good ouo

i suggest trying to time yourself.
that might help.
or say it outloud.
it might seem weird but it helps ^^

I will ouo thank you

I'll go put the link on the front page for others who might want to read them ^-^

I like how there is no Romaji.. Kantan Kana Lessons Chihiro-sensei said that now that I finished the Hiragana to stop reading Romaji xD

Kinda hard to do cause alot of stuff is in romaji ono

Question! *Raises hand*

Something I noticed in anime, what does the term "ah" or "aa" refer too? (Not sure how to spell it properly). It appears to be some form of "yes." Specifically, what's the difference between that and "hai"? Is it one of those casual/formal things, like the difference between "yes" and "yeah"?

Kantan Kana?
What's that?

and romaji helps.
but it is a hindrance to reading.

@quiet:
this is difficult because it can be taken as "yes" or "oh". it's casual and is more used as an "oh" rather than a "yes". I personally haven't heard it used as a "yes" in any places other than anime. But that's not to say it isn't. I'm not fluent but the more common ways are "hai", "un", and "ee".

By the way, free japanese learning journal:

http://japanese-tutor.livejournal.com/

I think I follow, so not unlike using "ah" in English then?

Yeah pretty much. ^^

Kantan Kana is the Kana lessons from Japanese Pod 101 ouo they have videos on the kana and show the brush strokes ^-^

Is Kantan a person? xDDD
Or is it like a play on words where they are teaching you katakana? lol

yeah I have an account and some free apps from them ^^
they have a lot of languages actually

its just the name of the lesson as far as i know owo,

they teach both of the kana ^-^

ah i see. ^^

well i dont know if they teach them both at once.
i decided to ignore japanesepod101 cause it cost money.
the only one i stick with is smart.fm which costs $10/mo.
they helped me so much before.

I got the premium thing for free for a month I downloaded everything they had xD

they have lessons that teach each row.

like for hiragana: lesson 1 was (a, i, u, e, )

lesson 2 is ka ki ku ke ko

then after they show the tenten and maru lesson. they did a review and tell you to try to read real signs written in Hiragana then they move on to Katakana and start those lessons

see i had that but i forgot to use it xDDD

owo, oh wow.. thats sad.

I downloaded lots x3 now if only i had that iPad 3< I'd so have those PDFs and stuff on there ono

true true.
btw, u did cancel the japanesepod101 afterwards right?
it costs a $1 it says on its website.
and after the first month, they will charge u $25 each month

Yea you can set it up so it cancles after the time is up :3

ah i c. ^^
well, i wanna make sure u didnt get charged.
it happened to me before.
so im careful to check it out for pplz xDD

yea.. I wish I could afford the premium or any thing that charges money..

but I think I got enough lessons to last me a while.. if I can ever get something that allows the Video's Audio's and the PDFs >x<

have u tried wmp?
or itunes?

xD I can do it on my computer with iTunes but I meant like I wish my iPod did the PDFs ono

this way I didn't lug the laptop around xp
