だい3か, 3ばんのポーストをかきませんか


こんばんは。
きょうだい3かのぶんぼうはおもしいですね。I'm so glad that we got to learn some new verbs. The skit and さくぶん for this chapter will be much more interesting. I am amazed by how much I have learned in Japanese class. I knew a little bit of Japanese before taking this class, but I was often unsure about what I knew. But when さとうせんせい explains it, everything becomes much clearer to me. Now I am more confident in what phrase to use in what situation and so on.

I have no idea how I studied ひらがな and カタカナ back then, although I did relate some カタカナ to ひらがな and remember it that way. I think that I wrote it down a lot to memorize them, and I asked my cousin to give me some Japanese dictation. Dictation and reading really help you remember new characters. Dictation makes you practice recalling the characters, and reading helps you recognize them.

For fluency, guess what I did? I listen to a lot of Japanese songs and sing along with them, although I have no clue what they are saying XD. This is similar to how I improve my fluency in English too. I listened to a lot of English songs and resang them, without knowing the meaning. I like copying people speaking a foreign language because it sounds cool and it feels good too. :D

Okay, picture time! I have no new picture to post so I just took a picture I drew last year. I haven't drawn anything lately because homework keeps piling D: I'm looking forward to reading day so much now. Anyway, this is a Suzumiya Haruhi fanart I drew last summer. You can click on it to see the full picture. I hate how Yuki turned out >.<, her face looks weird, and Haruhi's hand is soooo out of proportion lol XD. I don't like the anime much but I like the character designs, and the songs :P. I love Suzumiya Haruhi songs! Well, that is all for today. I didn't write much Japanese in this entry. So here goes, またあした。

にばんのポースト


こんばんはみんあさん。きょうのかたかなのクイッズはむずかしいですね(T^T)。きょうのよみかきもむずかしいです。わたしはカッピトルをわかりません(^^;;)。

++むずかしい: difficult

It seems like with this rate, all my blog entries will be dated on Thursday, haha XD. Other weekdays I can't find any time to write anything is this blog. Anyway, I just read and commented many blogs in our class, and now I see spots everywhere ¦D. I don't know if it happens to you guys, but I find it more difficult to read Japanese on a computer screen. My eyes went crazy on me. I hope you won't see spots everywhere like me.

Many people have posted about why they took Japanese, so I guess I will do it too. I have many reasons to take Japanese. First, I want to know another language, and I picked Japanese because it seems fun. The way Japanese sounds is nice to the ears :D. Second, I love the Japanese culture. Everything seems so interesting there and Japanese people are good at everything. They're good at making cars, animation, computer graphics, music and so much more. All those things inspire me a lot, so I want to learn more. It is also the reason why I like to draw anime-styled art, since Japanese art style gives me a strong impression. Third, my dad knows Japanese and he encourages me to take it. Anything for you おとうさん!!^-^ 

Ano, what else? I can't think of anything to write right now. I'll post my さくぶんsome other time. How about a picture? I like pictures :D

As you can already tell, I LOVE to draw in anime/manga style. It's a lot of fun to do ^^

はじめましてみなさん。わたしはクイエン・トランです。ベトナムじんです。いまわたしはバージニアだいがくのにねんせいです。せんもんはかがくです。どうぞよろしくおねがいします。がんばります!:9

Hello everyone. This is my first post in this blog. I like blogs but I never keep up with them. Hopefully I will frequently update this one. It's also a chance to practice my Japanese so I will do my best. Please help me correct any mistakes in my Japanese entries.

ありがとうございます。じゃあ、またね。
