Welcome and best of luck with your studies!
Welcome and good luck with your studies. Check out WaniKani if you haven’t already done so.
I taught computer programming for many years and now I’m taking Japanese…yes small indeed.
Welcome! Wishing you great success!
Here’s another txt to speech site:

Choose Japanese of course then choose the speaker, I prefer Show, the male speaker. You can also control the speed. Using Audacity I can capture the sound.
Thx Kanjiman, I’ll copy and paste the sentences and I see that by right clicking the play button and choosing “save link as…” I can get the audio file to add to the card too! ^_^
Finishing up Season 3 and took a peek at Season 4.
O_o;;
Oh my! I have great respect for the students that have finished this very difficult season.
No more sentences for Anki?
Well, nothing big planned for the next…several months…Ok, on to the な adjectives… @_@
Welcome! I am in awe of people that can handle more than two languages. I wish you success.
Well said Aikibujin!
I’m lousy at straight up memorizing for the most part so I need a hook to start with. Fortunately with sentence practice the Mnemonic goes away and I no longer need it, depend on it or think of it at some point.
A past student of mine who is a nuclear engineer and spends a lot of time in Japan recently came home for a visit. He speaks Japanese to some degree and using simple stuff I was able to understand him mostly but forming a coherent reply did take a lot of brain power to dredge up some of the words and put them together.I have a long way to go! ^_^;
I may never get to Japan either but there is a PC disk I purchased called “Go Go Nippon” which is sort of a narrated tourist guidebook using anime girls and RL pix. It’s cheap (<$15) and fun to do. Your two guides are Makoto’s the older “onee-chan” type, and Akira…a “tsundere”. I also picked up some Japanese vocab with the game.
There are links to Google Maps throughout the game so you can explore on the internet as well.
Thanks for all the tips. I knew someone would come up with something! ^_^ Just knowing けっこん means marriage helps out a lot and the ‘cake on’ will do it. I won’t forget that!
You guys are the best!
Welcome ^_^ and right now you’re making my life seem a bit dull -_-;
Welcome…you’ll find this a nice place, lots of helpful people when you have a question!
Thx for the heads up Kanjiman! Well, between WaniKani and studying vocab it’s good for a couple hours a day. Since I’m retired I have the time! Plus it keeps my senior citizen brain active! -_-
I’m plowing thru the verbs in Season 3 right now…like a guppy through a bowl of Jello. The first page was easy enough since I already knew 12 of them from my previous studies. The second batch tho… =_=# I do make up my own mnemonics which would make no sense to anyone else for the most part. I also attempt to make up my own sentences for additional practice.
I keep a paper printout near me when I watch TV and study it during the commercials. I also have it on my flash card app on the iPod Touch.
I find it interesting that this boat load of verbs were dumped on us after the lecture about “the dip”. I think I’m dipping now. O_o
