Success!

So, I now have a kindle! I now have a few nice little japanese apps!

Human Japanese Lite (I will get the full version once i get 500 more coins!)
Anki (Droid Versions)
Kabuto (Not sure how I feel about this one yet)
JISHOP (Really like how I can use this to find things via Radicals.)
Kanji Recognizer (Perfect for me when I can't find things via Radicals. Just Draw out the kanji and hope I did the strokes right. It also shows you the stroke order when you do find it!)


Anki so far is my favorite because its a flash card type.  I have had it on my laptop but with other things I would be doing I would forget to bring it up and go through my 20 cards a day. I need

Kanji Recognizer is my second favorite! Once you find something you can ADD it yo Anki! You can draw out the kanji, and once you find it you can check the stroke order, see the codes for it and more. It's really nice.

With these apps, I will do my best to build my vocabulary. <3 

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.
