Ashur: That little person looks like he pooted as he bent over...I enjoyed it. <3

Aza: We had them too, but I never bothered to let it stick, hurr hurr.

Well for the most part, the stroke orders both help me remember the kanji and make sense to me. Although that's not /all/ of them of course.

Blaine: "Sliding dogeza". XD But pooting works too.

Az: Ugh, tests are the bane of my existence.

Oh, I know what I dogeza is, but on first glance? Totally a poot.

~rolls through~ Hey ashy... do you have any like... tips for an oral exam and studying sentence structures? o.o

Oral exam: run it by someone who knows the language.

Sentence structure: write down the sentence and dissect it. Make sure you can explain why certain words/parts go before others.

Well I mean we have set sentence structures that we were given. XD And I'm just... trying to figure out how to remember them well. @_@'

And the oral exam is an interview ;-;

Which structures are you looking at?

uuum, ~tari~tarishimasu
Oh god the modifying nouns thing. @_@ ~dies~
Difference between Hearsay (plain form+soudesu) and making inferences (adj drop I add soudesu)
Remembering te forms. FFF te forms. I hate them.
on going and resultant states te-form+imasu
And then the then the "make" and "become (naru and suru)

Let me get home since I'm currently on my phone right now and I'll help you.

Sweet! XD Thank you <3

uuum, ~tari~tarishimasu
- Basically used when you're trying to say you're doing more than one thing.
学校で寝たり、習ったりします。
Gakkou de netari, narattari shimasu.
- You sleep and learn at school.

Oh god the modifying nouns thing. @_@ ~dies~
- Elaborate for me?

Difference between Hearsay (plain form+soudesu) and making inferences (adj drop I add soudesu)
- 先生がくるそうです。I heard the teacher is coming.
- 甘そうです。I heard it was sweet.
This should be pretty self-explanatory.

Remembering te forms. FFF te forms. I hate them.
on going and resultant states te-form+imasu
- Memorization is key. Other than the few irregular forms (like for する and くる, etc.), they all tend to follow the conjugation.

And then the then the "make" and "become (naru and suru)
- ~になる。- Will become. (Usually without outside interference.) The caterpillar will become a butterfly.
- ~にする。- Will make. (Usually with outside interference.) I will make the caterpillar become a butterfly.

It's hard to elaborate on the modifying. Um, when I get home I'll post up the examples I have.

And mostly I know how to use the sentences and such, but it's just trying to remember the forms. >3<

@az:
do you mean when you do like 日本に住んでいる人？
And I don't think we have learned the suru as make.
We just use tsukuru.
But looking at her notes, I think I get it.
But if you want, I can scan in our daily conjugation quizzes and send you it as a template for -te form practice.
We have te form, SF past, SF past neg, LF, SF, and SF past and what it means

oh god if you could send me stuff to practice my te-form that would be amazing.

And that is exactly what I mean with the noun modifying, actually. XD

its what our teacher told us - the same exact words for what to call it.

and ok! i will try to scan it on tuesday or monday.
we dont have school tuesday but i have a party tonight and monday so i may not be around early enough on tuesday.
I will have to erase my scores.. but yeah xDD
