May Overveiw

I have been able to limit my slacking down to an degree. This has purged my productivity up to an area where I can feel adequate about how long I have studied. In this month I will increase my exposure to Japanese ambience ,but it wasn't to bad this time so I would presume it was the lack of consistency that makes me feel like that except remember guys it's these moments where you judge yourself on doing something other people consider difficult which makes you genius\(^o^)/. Now to some WとL
Wins:
1) Scoring some Japanese books buy using お金 (yep JapanNewbie said stop stealing.
2) Watching Deathnote (with subs) but not thinking in the English definition which helped me get my Takehiko on.
3) Skype chattin wit ma Japanese peeps and you if you have a Skype.
4) Having a cool girl ask me what my Japanese shirt said. Here reaction priceless.

Loss:
Getting two hot girls Facebook and already having a Asian girlfriend lol

Well before Anne sees me trying this and assume it's me inviting her to help me with はりかえい. I will check you guys l8ter

Just an appetizer: IPod Touch




こんにちは、みなさん。 竹彦です(たけひこ)。Recently I bought my 兄(あに) an Ipod touch and since I had some money left over the next day even though I'm not an apple fan I really just wanted it for the 8gb HDD and 日本語menus. So after transferring my 音楽 (おんがく) from the 2gb memory card on my phone to this now what seems like colossal space to fill up. I was astonished to the point that I search out all of Nobodyknows+'s CDs and reveled with glee, because I wasn't stuffed into the "Do I Realllly like this Japanese song?" syndrome. However, since my ultimate goal for the device was done I was satisfied. This was until my brother showed me that they have a flash card program in the app store for free by the name of Isrs which after I found out about this app then I went on a downloading tangent grabbing at anything that has 日本語 in its 名前。Afterwards I discovered that all of these applications though free cost half of my memory, which is rather problem since I haven't tested their worth yet. When I started process of elimination I found that many of them were crap till you buy, but some were good on the beginner level and really helped the beginners get to a higher point then made them pay. I'm ok with the latter because their helping people stay in the Japanese learning community so before I end this post I would like to name the great apps that I will keep using for now:

  • WNJapanese
  • JPhrases
  • dNihongo Lite
  • JLPTStudyFree
  • Reibun Lite
  • JLPTSelfStudy
  • BunpouLite
  • J Sensei
  • I-Sokki V. N5
And some one tell them to make a commercial about that it would be good to hear "Learning Japanese , Well there's an App for that." またね
