I haven't been on here in ages, because of college and exams
. I have actually studied Japanese at a night class, just completed the beginners course and got a certificate from my teacher. JohnMN, learning Japanese is really fun, you get to meet new people and learn about traditions
-- well that's what happens in my night class, if you're interested, JohnMN, please visit my myspace because I have pictures of my class on.
The reason I picked to learn Japanese was because I used to do karate and heard the numbers, saying thank you as well as goodbye...so I thought why give it a try to expand my learning how to speak other phrases and after starting my night class, I did a charity event at college by speaking the basic greetings and raised £31.50.
I enjoy the anime, manga, J-pop, J-Rock and researching about the culture, if you practice outloud then you get used to saying the words right...hiragana are a little tricky to learn at first, but practice those outloud too and you'll be fine
.
Now I'm hoping to go back in September to continue the class, because I promised a friend of mine I would still learn it no matter how difficult it would get...I wouldn't give up on it, a friend from high school who passed away last year in April after having a heart attack at college
. Sorry if I made everyone bored with my post, just thought I'd like to share that.
Ganbette JohnMN and let us know if you get on a class
.
