For The Purpose Of Practicing
“Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back to you.” - Byron Katie
Now it’s time you try out some of what you learned. I’d like to challenge you to write a post on Lang-8. I imagine the first one was pretty tough, and I think this one will be tough too. Stick with it, though, and by the time you get to Season 6 you’ll start understanding more about the corrections and be able to get more from them. Making mistakes and struggling a bit is all part of the process, and the more mistakes you make the better you’ll get at Japanese. Funny how it works that way (don’t be afraid to make mistakes, it’s required!).
Here’s the theme of this particular post: “What I Do To Study Japanese“
As before, I’m not going to give you all the information on how to do it. I want you to make those mistakes and take some cool risks that will get you some corrections. Here’s some questions / hints to help you out (but not give the answers away).
So, what do you do to study Japanese? For what purpose do you study Japanese?
Do you like the Japanese language?
How often do you study? 毎日 (まいにち)? 時々 (ときどき)?
Do you want to learn Japanese?
What are you studying right now?
今 (いま)、＿＿＿＿＿を勉強しています。
How would you describe the Japanese language? Difficult? Easy? Fun?
That should give you enough to write a short journal entry on Lang-8. Of course, if you’re having trouble with corrections you’ve gotten, put them in the forum and somebody will surely help you out!
