  1. Ganbatte-JLPT/Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

    Thank You for coming with me in 2007. I waited, crammed, and did a difficult 50/50 pass fail on the Japanese Proficiency Level Test 3. I'll let you know if I passed in February.

    Now I can express something that is excessive to me, my personal observation of what seems, and something that shows signs of a trend. You can too by adding -sugiru -すぎる,-souda -そうだ, and -tagatteiru -たがっている. Come With Me... 食べ物を食べ過ぎました!I ate TOO much food/I OVER ate. http://www.DaiTime.com...

  4. -takotogaaru Means 'Have The Experience Of Doing..."

    Doing things like this and that, have done, and done while/as/with can all help us extend our sentences and grammar to sound more specific when retelling stories or answering questions.

    Continuing with verb study after a few weeks break. I went home to visit over Labor Dai (see Memoirs Journal August 2007 Entry).

  10. Get My Gun-Yakuza Means Gangster

    Japan's violent news stories are hard to believe-gangster retaliation, killing family members, teens severing parents bodies, the art of chopping body parts.

  13. Calendar Days-Shuumatsu Means Weekend
