last blog, even though japanese had been hard it is amzaing to think now much a person can learn. computer wouldn't play podcast right so hard to listening but they were interesting to listen in the syntaxa and what not. the time for the final has come, i will be prepared but may not do so well but I am always a learner of everything. i don't know what to wrote but ja mata nihongo no kurasu and ja mata ashita minnasan.

Let me see, class on wednesday and thurdasy were very confusing and I must review and learn lesson 12 and 13 becuase the application the rules and the sentence structures confuse we. Lately I have been flasbacking through music and other medias and I came across a 12 year old video of sailor moon and very weird story but point is some of the words and the cultural notes were much mroe aware to me and i understoon what was being said from context clues but very odd to thing how much i use to like that show with the plot holes and none development in such shows as full metal alchemist and witch hunter robin and rurouni kenshin and hellsing and naruto but i am rambling. I am starting to prepare for finals and seems like there are around the corner. Trying to build study groups and review material but the application of grammar strucutures in writing that is somewhat complex still confuses me and I have to learn more material to have more confidence on those section of tests, but yes it is interesting to see how having to write in simple sentences because that is all i know has affected my writing in english to be simpler and concise but yes test are not accurate measures if intelligence and i need to figure out what to do to ace the next test and not break down and literally be unable to write hiragana or romaji becuase my hand is shaknig but this is my report of japanese class and progress for the 19 of november at 11:43,

What is a good podcasting?

A good podcating is like a good book. There needs to be an interaction going on between a listener and the host. There is also a creative hook that is akin to the type of person that the host is. There are exciiting elements that surprise and intrigue a person to continue which may come with some type of cue such as a word or a sound. The ideas are creative while they are informative and the poscast can reach to a large audience and be comprehended and be relative. There is also little or no choppyness in the transition or the presentation of the piece. Lastly it is loud and clear enough with proper enounication and makes sense.

midterms, midterms, midterms, midterms. I am studying and seem to prepared but last test that was less than evident in my stellar performance. On other side of news, I read this weeks chapter of inuyasha and naruto in raw versions so I read them all in japanese but of course I didn't know most of the words but I can infer. It was kind of cool. I wonder if my language learning is inhibited by any of my neural processess or if I am more adapted at learning langauge, pershaps in terms of grammar I am, oh well, ja mata raishu

shizuka no de is a song I really like. I find it kind of disappointing that japanese is one of the four hardest languages for english speakers to learn. I find it out thoguh that the grammar makes sense and the vocabulary can be oicked uo, but the sentence construction is very hard. I suppose one of the four skills needs to be perfected like the lecturer said, Wako Tako seemed very knowledgeable. I wonder though which type of skills are more easily picked up by my style oflearning: speaking, reading, hearing, or writing. considering thoguh its only been a month I can read even though it might not make sense . I feel a sense of accomplishment. That last line is just sarcasm , sarcasm doesn't translate well online, but then a lot of what I say is sarcastic, hmmm

This past week I updated my itunes and now have access to broadband stations, so I found a station that played old and new japanese music. I recognized a lot of the artists and some of the songs. What was weird was that there their were words I understood such as onegai, doko, aruite, and other words. So now I can recognize some. I also was in my itunes and and quicky saw t.m. revolution's Yume no shiuzka and I think that has silent and dream so that is in some order of idea, weird.

Grammar plagues me. I never learned spanish grammar. I only know english grammar on paper. Now Japanese grammar, straight over my head. I try though and I know time and stuff.

Still must learn katakana, hiragana seemed so easier. At least ri and he are the same. I remember most of the particles uses now so progress is being made. The enumanics aren't working and not quite sure if tests and quizzes work, there's that classic test anixety created by the american eduation to boast performance, haha.

Interestingly I was reding for anthropolgy and according to the multi-regional theory of modern human evolution the asian ancestor which came from homo ergaster had gained an adaption of a tooth that was like canine's for the dietary needs and resources in the climate. Each ancestor of the different continets had various adaptions like the aborgines of Australia's many heat adaptions

I also realzied I do not havea language cd so I can only display asian characters but not type in them, arg moment of annoyance

watashi was yumemasu. kino wa roku ji kara kuji made ni okimashita. taihendesne. side note: For someone reason I feel the need to speak spanish in japanese class and I always have to stop my self. Aslo how do you write in characters?
