I'm pretty fluent more or less in German even after taking huge breaks of totally ignoring it.. but I just had a Japanese lesson and was struggling to remember 泳ぐ. I'm hoping it's not because I'm studying it later in life and my brain is dead. Actually based on an article regarding sleep deprivation I just read it might be that my lack of sleep has caught up to me. I am hoping however it's that I spent hours and hours talking to myself or thinking German and that's what I need to force myself to do in Japanese. Once upon a time I really wanted to be fluent in German. I wish I could turn that same desire on for Japanese. I think part of it was that I thought I could actually achieve it whereas with Japanese it just seems so hard.
Than again, I'm still doing this Japanese thing after 2 years. Most of these logs people start a new language and it doesn't go anywhere. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ich hasse dieses Wort.. 泳ぐ. Immer noch ich dachte mal es heißt おそぐ... verdammt. Ich schäme mich darüber. Auf jedenfall ich will mehr Japanisch lesen. Ich habe dieses Buch aus Amazon heruntergeladen - Holding the Iron Memories. Es sieht aus, als ob es ein echte Geschichte ist. Andere Geschichte sind meistens Porn oder nur Bilder oder noch was nutzloses. Ich weiss nicht wie viele Bücher auf deutsch ich schone gelesen habe aber ich denke nach noch ein paar Bücher wird Japanisch ja besser gehen. Ich hoffe. Ich habe mein Vater gesagt dass ich eine Kurs auf Deutsch nehme und er sagte mir aber du hast kein Kurs seit vielen Jahren genommen - das soll schwer sein. Ich sagte nur das stimmt aber ich fühle mich noch sehr fließend im Vergleich zu Japanisch. Er sagte mal, Japanisch ist wahnsinnig schwer. Im Vergleich zu Japanisch muss alles ganz einfach wirken.
Verdammte Japanisch. Warum muss ich dich lernen. German class tomorrow. Warming up I guess. Gonna go try to read in Japanese some more. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I was thinking of taking the JLPT in Japan this December as an excuse to finally go visit. To my dismay I read the following the JLPT site...
If you apply via the Internet, you can apply from outside of Japan, however, we accept the registered address located only in Japan. On the other hand, the Application Guide for those who apply by mail is only sold in Japan and we do not accept any applications sent from abroad. If you live abroad and wish to sit the JLPT in Japan, please ask your family or friends in Japan to help you to make an application on your behalf. They will need your photo sized 4 cm (vertical) X 3 cm (horizontal). Also addresses and telephone numbers on the application forms should be those in Japan. So please discuss well in advance with whoever is assisting you in making the application in Japan. OMG that is dumb. There's a lot not to like about the JLPT organization. Why wouldn't they want to encourage tourism and students to come take the test there? Ugh. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

IOW, I see what you mean. OTOH if I pay for my own trip to Japan (i.e. not a business trip) I think I'd like to see the sights rather than the inside of a uni classroom :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would like to do some Japanese studying if I did a trip probably but this would have been only for the test...
I'd do one day for the test and 2 weeks of tourist stuff :(. But I can't do that at all. I have to fly to another city anyway since they don't offer the test in Arizona. I'm thinking San Francisco - so I can do some tourist stuff too. It'll be a shorter trip though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just noticed that on android all of the posts on this site are in different font sizes. But on the iPhone all the
fonts are the same and it's much more readable. But the screen is smaller. Anyway. I'm caught up on my grammar SRS reviews. I kinda didn't think that would ever happen since all I ever seem to work on is my vocab reviews. So it feels good and I need to make some cards to go with the lessons I'm doing on the Japanese language website I'm doing. I definitely need to practice them more or it won't be active. Or passive after a while either. Most of the grammar I'm doing now doesnt repeat itself very often so. Also I've kind of done a 180 regarding kanji. A month ago I was doing RTK again and even making myself learn Chinese sounds to go with the kanji. Now my plan is to not really study kanji too much at all and to just focus on vocab. So I'm turning on the furigana using a fire fox add on quite often like most of the time. I hadn't used his add on. So I'm doing my flashcards 2 ways. One with kanji and furigana and the other deck is to produce the English. It seems to be working pretty well but then I suppose that some people would want to test reading without the furigana. I've heard that reading manga with furigana is a good way to learn kanji so maybe it's not so bad of me. If not I don't think I'll care too much anyway. For now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You should pay more attention to verb placement in German; the verbs don't always come
after the subjects; in some cases they even show up before the subject! My German isn't quite the "yellow from the egg" either, so I can't correct it for you though. :p I'm hoping to get onto a German class at my uni too.. hopefully they won't fill up before the semester begins in two weeks (the placement test is on the 1st or 2nd october). 1 person has voted this message useful |
