Shadowing

February 26, 2020February 26, 2020O47rashomonsNo Comments

I have an Android app I have had installed for the longest time. So long, I forgot about it. But then, you see a moment from someone you’re following on HelloTalk, and your memory gets jogged. To be honest, I forgot about it because my Japanese skill when I installed it was pretty low. But now, I think it’s improved to the point where I can get some benefit from using it regularly. It’s an app created by the International University of Japan for their students, but non-students can use it too. Called Ganbatte Shadowing, it explains all the concepts of shadowing, and then has “tasks” for you to complete.… Read More

A Really Nice WaniKani Community App

February 2, 2020February 2, 2020O47rashomonsNo Comments

It’s no secret I’m a fan of WaniKani. I’ve tried other systems, but this one just clicks for me. But using it away from a large keyboard has always been a pain.

I had a… Read More

Some new Japanese Learning Resources

January 18, 2020January 18, 2020O47rashomonsNo Comments

You know how it is, you find things on the web, and things find you. So I’ve added two more resources to the Japanese Learning Resources page. I’ve rejoined WaniKani. Out of a host of kanji self-study resources, it’s the one that works best for my mind. The problem is that it only works online, so when I’m traveling the subway tunnels, I use the Android Japanese Kanji Study app to reinforce knowledge. There is some overlap in the way they present kanji, but everyone seems to think there is some perfect order to learn these in. I’m happy to be a bit confused while studying, because that means my… Read More

これは日常のブログ投稿だね？(笑) 人生はいつも忙しいからこのサイトを聞捨ている。悪い考えだと思う。今年は日本語を学ぶのは本気な気持ちを集める。秋は日本へ行きたい。楽しい時と願う！それから今日の私の聞く事と話す事は将来より良くなければなりません。よいいちにちを。
