Pessimism can be inspiration

The amount of complaining that I do in my own opinion consider to be dwelling in the range of A surplus. Thus, this being a skill that promotes negative energy (Which AJATT tells me "use the force Luke" *cough* "Let resistance fuel you") which means I can harness (for selfish gains, LIKE FOSSIL FUELS!!!!!) it and refine it to a point where the complaints change to more being of a more comedic means for my future.

When I would like to devulge to you a few of the my mental malices:

Japanese beginner complaints:

I can't read any kanji.

I can only read romanji I can't read any hiragana/katakana.

Conjugating verbs is too hard This song is gibberish.

I can't find any dramas I want to watch.

I can't think of what to say to a native speaker.

I can't find the Modivation to continue.

I can't get more than 1 one Srs done.

I can't visit Japan.

Japanese intermediate complaints:

I can't understand more than half of this kanji.

I can only read hiragana and katana.

I can't conjugate every verb.

I can only understand some of this song.

There are only a few shows I like to watch.

I can only say a few things to natives.

The Modivation happens only now and then.

I can't get more than half of my srs finished.

I can't goto Japan for longer that 2 weeks.



Japanese Advanced complaints:

There's not enough Kanji in this.

Conjugating is too easy.

These lyrics are too much about girls and Motivation.

There's too much shows coming at me.

Man, would they stop talking so I can focus on schoolwork.

Modivation is too overwhelming.

Srs deck too easy!

I can't get to Japan enough.



Notice how inspiring my sample complaints can be. As you notice it progressive from a whiny lazy person to an annoyed expert. So even your complaining can purge a wealth of memories to your journey. And since I couldn't think of anymore what are some escalating complaint you can think of?

Plan to Destroy Septembers tundras

Well, I'm now reset into the college enviroment for my 4th session. Today being the "Calm Before the Storm" and as the laughs of my classmates dance on the walls I am considering how to save my 日本語 appetite from the blackhole of irrelevancy.

"The answer lies in the heart of batte!":
First and for most, I reconize that reading is paramount to 日本語 aprehension. That being a fact I've made it my personal goal to read at least 10 of any thing Japanese lititure accessible to me with in the confinds of that day. I've alread trumpted the qualm of facebook by switching my social sites to Japanese. This too shall pass (go and collect 200 Kanji.).

Since I'm constantly immersed in Japanese music there is not a problem, however there is the delima of the Japanese movies. I'm purged to collect my anime from torrents because the inability to fin (Raw) Japanese material online. If you know of any raw links to areas where I may watch raw online (Youtube expecially) please let me know.

This is my plan to guide my Japanese studies through the murky river of college study. What are yours?

Tadoku Aftermath

Well Guys, We have just (I know it’s late I was studying more) finished another多読^_^. I hope it was as exciting for you guys as it was for me. I just became ecstatic as the positive reinforcement poured by taking in the instant (ramen) statistics of in while looking up kanji and reading 漫画 (most which was ヘンタイ. DON’T QUESTION IT. IT JUST WORKS) and getting to see how I rank now from 2 months ago. As this is a journey , there's always a quantity of things to work on, innovate and put into action. Thus if you have time to be my walking companion then I will tell you about experience.
(With only a tad bit of complaining. I promise).

This time competing in 多読 I feel that my greatest aids (Not that kind) were my IPod, laptop, and the mass amount of reading materials 先生 gave me (|^_^ |). When I was a neophyte my only access to words I didn't know was to use a辞書の紙 (nothing’s wrong with it but “There is an app for that!”(R)) to which some of the things I had to look up weren’t in there which caused frustration, but being able to expedite the process looking up 漢字 and the radicals (Yes I could do them on jisho.org, but I have a odd situation where I hate looking at lit computer screens too long.) and being
able to keep going was comfortable. (The dictionary app that I used is call Kotoba!) My own laptop that I got right after the first 多読 helped. Because I was able to avoid the bloody battle for the computer starring me (初心者な日本語の学生）Vs. Mom (The coupon Queen). However, you cant over look the fact of being able to store gargantuous amounts of 漫画 on the hard drive without slowing it down (Yep daddy 漫画が大好きです。) ,but to be fair my mom’s computer was blessing in its own time. The materials that 先生 gave me are right next to my bed every night (I try to keep them there.) now so some stuff might be hard ,but I know in time that I will get used to it. So that was the elegant and instead of saying the next things are bad perse I will just say they are unrefined portions.

What stopped me during my 多読 I would say are My diligence. All in all during 多読 I hit that wall of oblivion. Where you don't want to even touch another kanji or page of manga for as long as you live. The solution for this qualm is that I have purchased a daily planner which will allow me to be able to go through things a day at a Time which brings things to a point that I can handle. So that was my Tadoku experience and what I've learned to refine. Now how about you (in tadoku and daily life with Japanese?)
