bard_linnWe've managed to figure out 4 out of the 6 problem set problems for Geometry. (Teacher considers 2 right as a C). Writing them up has kept me rather busy today. *sigh* I'll hopefully find out exactly what I'm supposed to be teaching Tuesday so my partner and I can start on our unit planning, as it is due in the beginning of March. That should give us three weeks - on top of everything else.
I visited Kiraya yesterday evening. Along with plotting we also had this conversation.
Linn: And 228 wasn't our old Japanese classroom.
Kiraya: That's odd. The number is familiar.
Linn: It's your DORM ROOM NUMBER.
Kiraya: Kiraya takes 300 HP damage from stupid! Wait, it's a status changer. What cures stupid? Never mind, just give me a remedy.
XD
Speaking of Kiraya, I hope you got home safe with the snow! It's stopped here right now and isn't sticking to the street, though the grass is coated. Still, who knows what will happen later?
Kaz is right. This is very addictive. And it might manage to beat my Katakana into me finally....
Edit:....there are Wi and We katakana? o.O SINCE WHEN?
BE update tonight! Less than two hours. ^.^

Date: 2006-02-12 01:06 am (UTC)Ah! I get it. :) Weird Japanese kanji with their multiple pronunciation stuff. But I guess they're good for puns!
Sound effects are good fun, but it is a major pain to always turn back and read them at the end of the book.
Exactly! Especially if there aren't many page numbers and the sound effects are ordered by page. Just reading them is easier... although I still make many mistakes. But I'm getting there.
Thank you for the tips! I've been wanting to learn Japanese for ages now, what with my addiction to anime and all, but never really found the time. ^^;;
I'm also practicing with various openings and endings of anime series. If someone's singing, they often show the english translation, the phonetic transcription and the Japanese symbols for the lyrics, which lets me practise a bit and immediately check that I got everything right. It's just annoying having to pause all the time because I can't read that quickly yet, and there are always kanji mixed in that I have no clue about.
