Well, in my case, a large number of words in the quiz appear in manga, anime and light novels, which are my main sources of vocabulary. Since 2009, I have trained a habit of noting every word I find interesting or feel that I may come across again. My notes are, of course, stored on my PC for easier lookup. 6 months of using flashcards to review my notes also helped me retain a large sum of words in my brain :) It's still a long way until I can read Japanese as quickly as I read English, though. :p Right now I'm still heavily dependent on dictionaries :o

You're an inspiration. Well done to you.

#6 may have boardered on adavanced level in the way I asked the question if not the words themselves. I tend to ask questions that regular teachers might not ask in school as I try to have you guys have fun while answering.
I just thought of the following question today while picking up some items at Sunkus, the convenience store nearest me (only about 30 steps away from home). Give it your best shot, SHAD0W!
What do these sentences mean?
ミサさんはかわいそうだ。
ミサさんはかわいいそうだ。
|
ミサさんはかわいそうだ - Poor Misa / I feel sorry for Misa
ミサさんはかわいいそうだ - Sounds like Misa is cute.
I learned the difference between these the hard way while in Japan. A friend of the family was telling me how her grandchildren were enjoying elementary school. I told her I felt sorry for them..
