neiru – go to sleep
omoshiroi
yo i live in hokkaido, im from seattle, actually tacoma, is where i was born. im 29, been learning japanese for awhile, etc, ive learned alot, I think you will learn the ost by making a trip here first, via helpx.net or woofing japan, which both do require membership fees, but, you schedule say a one month stay with a family, and they teach you japanese for free, prety good deal ay? anywayz, ive learned the most about japan, by living with my family, learning hiragana and katakana, takes awhile but that’s the easy part, listening to japanese audio tapes, and practicing rosetta stone, is a great start, but you have to hear and learn how japanese people really talk, which is always different from what we are studying. Firstly I reccommend learning word lists, words only, say 100 word list, then 200, 500, then 1000, somewhere in between there, get some kanji card sets, and vocab card sets, so you can study while waiting for…. something, use your spare time to read/learn japanese. you have to make some real japanese friends in seattle, who actually speak full japanese, get to know them and theyre familys, learn to sing a japanese song, and learn what the words mean. do japanese karaoke, try to immerse yourself in all japanese, lastly think in japanese. i like this site to test my vocab n such http://www.manythings.org/japanese/jlpt/ hey lets be friends on FB ill try to help you, or just be your friend – masonice@gmail.com
hey there oshi, my family has a scotlish last name: Baxter, which used to be MacBaecster. I moved from seattle,wa,usa, to hokkaido, japan, I got married, and have a child. Then I got a job in sapporo, as an english teacher, and before that, I started teaching japanese people in my home. Before that, I didnt have any experience teaching english, but its about the only job foreigners who dont speak japanese can get. So any experience you can get teaching english, perhaps to children, is really going to help. I teach children ages 2 to 6, sometimes older children.
I live in Otaru, in hokkaido. Everyday, we get the news paper, twice, actually. I am learning kanji, some are not found in the textfugu kanji section, even some, 4 or 5 stroke kanji’s. I found this website very helpful, although, i believe some kanji’s are missing from here as well, it is a bit more complete.
