Today's Learnings

Today, my dear readers, I made a new friend thanks to the Language Exchange. Junya-kun was very nice. We spent most of our time talking about which anime we liked. That was a lot of fun, mainly because a lot of the anime I mentioned were girly. He spoke in some Japanese which I somewhat understood, and I also got some new words to study. I kept saying えーっと a lot too. I am sure I made a big fool of myself during this time but I had a lot of fun. I remember him saying that he was from Osaka and asked if I knew Osaka. I know about Osaka because of an Anime character named Heiji. From there he asked where I was from and I gave my little joke about Ohio. Ohayou sounds like Ohio so I am from the state of good morning! During my time talking to Junya-kun, my cat decided to be obnoxious! At one point Junya had asked if I had a kid! When I explained that it was my cat, he laughed and said my cat was cute. My response to that was,　私の猫はだめです！(my cat is bad).  We talked about music, movies, and I once again got interested in Doraemon and need to find away to see it.  Thanks to him I even found out about a good song from one of my favorite artists that I didn't know existed! Next time I should ask him to recommend some anime and movies. <3

Here is the vocabulary list I made from the conversation:

ちがう  【違う】 chigau  (to differ (from);  to vary)
おもしろい  【面白い】 omoshiroi   (interesting)
いちばんさうしょの 【一番最初の】　ichibansaishono  (First Season)
おんがく 【音楽】 ongaku (music)
いっしゅうかん  【一週間】isshuukan   (one week)
おきにいり  【お気に入り · 御気に入り】 okiniiri   (favorite)

Now to take time to study these. Also a guild mate of mine and I will be study buddies. So now I have someone to quiz me and I'll quiz him in return. Started him on Japanese Pod 101's Kantan Kana series for the kana.
