I wish my printer had ink D8 I am gonna take my kana cards and note book to the surgery center tomorrow/today and practice my higarana.. I'm on the s's.. sa shi su se so

I got;
a i u e o ka ki ku ke ko

down.. .. one step at a time *^*

Once I get enough characters memorized I tend to write small words that are available so far :3


Ashu - theys important and I needs them up there or I'll never see them again xD

Good job!!
And that's a smart way to go.
FYI, the times I forget my hiragana/katakana order (i do timed trials on occasions) I say this to myself:

A
Kitty
Saw
The
Nasty
House
Mouse
Yelling
Really
Weird
Noises

xDDD
Each hiragana has a little story to go along with it and that's how I learned it best.
It's actually what has helped me memorize the kanji for milk! <33

oh and here's the first one:

@ashurato:
I shall! And you would be able to explain things to me right? There is one thing I do have a question on but I have class when my teacher has her office hours.

[Demonskid]

thats what we did for math! 8D

Please
Excuse
My
Dear
Aunt
Sally

x'D *grabs note books and writes this down* OwO

[Ashurato]

@ shinka - yup! i'll try my best. i've just never explained specific japanese language mechanics in english before, but i'll try.

And that's an interesting way to remember the order!

[Demonskid]

tests added to the front! :3 *downloads one*

@DK:
lololol WE LEARNED THAT SAME ONE!!!
so much fun!

@ashurato:
So for my class, we are required to have pen pals in tokyo women's university.
We got out letters recently and I had one of my japanese friends help me out on a sentence. It is:

フォーが何であるかを知っていますか？

My question is why would they tell me to use the 何であるか?
I know I am asking do you know what pho is.
And I can dissect is so I see the あります but I don't see why there is a か after is.
I know 何 is what and 何で can be why or another way of saying "what" correct?

[Demonskid]

I have a question! *^*

In kana writings on some stuff.. um.. its best I show you a pic cause I donno how to explain it other then it looks like a line.. and from what I seen it's to tell you to hold out a sound.

I took notice of this thing when trying to translate the candy box I gotten (and kept)



チヨコレト
there is supposed to be that line in there to hold out re I think.. I can't seem to figure out how to make it ><

This. You're pretty much saying "do you know what pho is/consists of"?
Another way of putting it is:

フォーという料理の材料が知っていますか？

＠DK - You mean typing it out? I just use the dash key. And the ヨ next to the チ is small: チョコレート。

[Demonskid]

how do you get it to be small? o.O

and its just the dash sign? i see ._. *feels stupid*

[Ashurato]

Type in "cho". It should be automatic.

[Demonskid]

チョ

o.o Ahhhh! I see! okay x3 I gots it now. :3

[shinkamalei]

yeah it's the dash key
and what do you think about doing a speaking thing?
Like listening practice?
That's the only thing I DON'T have from my japanese class and it really sucks.
But there's only so much one can do in an hour.

also if you want it to be small you can put an h or an l before it and it should go.
like my name メロディー　won't work if I simply put di. It is mean to me like that.

@ashurato:
ohhhh. I think i understand it better now. Thank you~ <3

[Ashurato]

Hee hee~ Glad to be of help.

[Demonskid]

if you have skype sure! :3 we should make a schedual for it so others know. x3

[Ashurato]

Speaking thing? Sure, just tell me when (preferably on the weekend on after 7 pm PST).

[Demonskid]

weekends would be good :3 more people could join in
