*dances around* I got kana cards ;w;

[shinkamalei]

where'd you get em from?

The easter bunneh!

xD Borders.. I got to pick out a japanese learning thing and a manga for easter <3

[Lucid:]

we've been in the news? :O what for? is it cool stuff?
university tuition averages like 30,000 a semester for out of state, though. @.@ so mine's dirt cheap for a four year school.

yay kana cards! ^.^ I downloaded a kana/kanji teaching app for my phone and I've been slowly learning katakana. I have all the hiragana memorized so it's easier to learn it from the hiragana than from scratch.

If there were something out there that I could download to my iPod or 3DS or PSP I would soo get it..

My Japanese Coach helps a bit .. but since I have a short attention span and no one to help me keep focus.. I find it easiest for me to take about one row of higarana at a time and write them out continuously until they are memorized.

I found a RAW scan of a manga (raw is where its not translated) and looked through it.. and in one frame I could READ that the dude was screaming! xD I was so happy with myself =w=

and another part I went through all my kana cards to figure out what it was saying x3 so happy <3

[Lucid:]

yay! I love when I can read things, even if it's something small.

Well it was the standards BYU holds their students to because there was some hubbub about people being kicked out of the school but it was over with quick.
and to be honest - that's ridiculous! =A=
I could never do that!
I'm far too broke.

@demonskid:
what kind of ipod do you have?
if you have a touch then you can get some.

and you should download anki! <3
i think its ankisrs.net
but you make your own flashcards and you choose when to review it.

xDDDD and keep going.
to be honest my japanese teachers tell me to begin watching anime and dramas in order to understand what they say.
She said for help manga is good as well.
And magazines.
Those are a lot harder though since they have a LOT of kanji.

I have iPod Video Gen 7 160GB.. I downloaded Podcasts that help teach Japanese x3

I needed Flash cards that aren't on the computer D: and I'm almost out of ink so print out flash cards are out too ><

[shinkamalei]

ah dang.
Nevermind them.
Hrm... do you have a smartphone?

well that's smart.
Another thing you could always use is note cards and cut them in half

[Demonskid]

No smart phone either D: I wish! I'd be texting lucid, and fen, and chi and annie, and taiki and.. EVERYONE! x3

-.- the dude that gets me stuff refused to get me note cards.. it's why he got me the Kana cards *shrugs* not my money spent xD and they really seem to be helping.. :3

[Lucid:]

Inari would text me 589418679 times a day if she had a cell phone. XD

[Demonskid]

Curse being poor ;-;

[shinkamalei]

@demon:
ohhhh i see! lol well texting is fun but its overrated for me xDDD i have FB and a phone so i call most people.
its easier for me to confirm stuff.

and i see!
well if its not skin off your back then awesome!!!
<3 i would buy it but im broke xD

@lucid:
ah i see!
i think you might not longer have time for anything else

[Demonskid]

Hehe I find it easy to use them to make little japanese words x3 like aki, ao, au,eki so on x3 it helps me with begining words.. and I printed out this test like thing from one of the websites on the front.. it helps a bit too.. I'm such a slow learner ><

one thing we did in my Japanese class was play Japanese Boggle. my teacher had a set of Boggle with kana taped over the english letters, and we had to make words out of whatever was rolled. the rules were a little more lax though, you could use any of the characters that were rolled, as many times as you needed it, together. I've never actually played regular English Boggle so I don't know the exact changes.

[Demonskid]

that sounds fun =o
