Hi all,
This will be my log as part of Team Sakura, formerly Team う. Perhaps the new name
will help attract potential recruits to our stall so to speak. ;-)
I will reserve this space for links to be added later, when/if I figure out how to post
links.

Hope you're going to have good fun with Japanese!
It would be useful for you to write your level of Japanese, how you've been learning it or what not.

Hi Takato, thanks for your encouragement and advice about posting.
I would say my level of Japanese is B1 and in some respects B2.
I started learning Japanese in 2001 and passed the JPLT 1 in 2005.
I am a full time Japanese to English patent translator.
However, partly due to getting distracted by Spanish, I haven't studied Japanese much
for the last 5 years. When you grind through this stuff day in day out, you tend to
want a break in the evenings.
I have started a Lang 8 account with a few posts under "Jaseur". Lang 8 is amazing and
I will be looking to post a lot there for TAC 13.
Other than that, my plan is to study mostly with Anki and DVDs but to keep it light. I
don't feel I can really include translation as study but you can rest assured I will be
at least reading Japanese in some form every day this year.
I should be capable of joining a Skype conversation in Japanese if time allows.
Anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

You'll be able to post links when you are no longer a newbie. I think that's after either 50 or 100 posts, but I'm not sure which.

Horribly busy with work at the moment.
今はめちゃめちゃ忙しいです。
Translated about 4-5k words today.
今日は約4-5千語を翻訳しました。
I am running through Tae Kim's grammar deck on Anki. Of course, it is quite easy but I'm
still trying to get used to Anki.
TaeKimの文法のカードをアンキでやっ ています。もちろん、内容はそんなに難しく ないだけど、まだアンキに慣れていません。

Happy New Year to you too!
My studies haven't been great... I have been studying about 80 cards on Anki every
day. There are some mistakes in the deck I downloaded but it does seem useful.
勉強はそんなにやっていません。 毎日Ankiで約80カードを復習していま す。 インターネットから取ったデックの
中
に、 間違いがあるけど、役に立つかもしれません 。
Obviously, I still translate patents every day. However, I was hoping to watch some
more DVDs and write on Lang 8.
もちろん、毎日特許を翻訳しています。 しかし、DVDを観たり、Lang8で
書いたり することをしたかったんで
す。
So, early days yet.
