Update 6

Haven't posted in a while.
ごめんなさい。
This past week has been productive, last week, not so much.
But this week, so far, I have learned,
これ kore = this
それ sore = that
あれ are = that over there

この kono = this
その sono = that
あの ano = that over there

ここ koko = this place
そこ soko = that place
あそこ asoko = that place over there

だれ dare = who
だれの dare no = whose
どこ doko = where

I also learned numbers 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000, 10,000

Right now I am trying to form my own sentences more.
I'm working on counters.
ex. いっぴき ip(piki) = 1(small animal like pets, fish, reptiles)
いっとう it(tou) = 1(large animal like lions, bears, horses)
いっかい ik(kai) = 1st floor(floors of a building)
etc etc.
My vocabulary is still pretty small, but I'm learning.

Please do correct any and all mistakes you may see!

Genki I start over + random update 5

So I am starting over with the Genki I book because I kind of screwed my self by jumping through it.
I am going to be more thorough.
I have issues focusing which is why I was basically skimming it.
I stopped at lesson 3 and started over.
I am now halfway thru lesson one again. I feel much better doing it this way.

I am getting better with creating sentences.
At first it was a bit difficult but the more I read the easier it got.
It's still a work in progress, but I'm getting better. :)

My manga came in the mail finally. a few days ago! I am excited!
I haven't started reading it yet though.
For obvious reasons.

Once I get better at Japanese I plan to do these entries in Japanese, Romaji and English.
I like seeing others doing it, because not only is it interesting but it is also helpful.
I posted about it on Twitter a little while back, but, like I said it is helpful. It has helped me learn a few kanji and helps with my vocabulary.
And I hope by doing that I will be able to help others in the future as much as it has helped me.
Maybe even make a video or two ... maybe. lol. (っ◕‿◕)っ ✿

Language Partner

I will say this, due to past experiences I prefer a female language partner when it comes to skype.
Rather you be someone just learning Japanese(like myself) or are learning English(I'll do my best to help you).
But any one can follow and talk to me on Twitter.
Will more than likely follow back.

Genki

I recently purchased Genki An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese I.
It's been recommended many times so i figured I would give it a try.
I'm always so hesitant to buy things that are suppose to help me, because I don't know if they will work or not.
But I figured since so many people are referring to this book I should give it a go.
And so...I now have it and will see how well this goes. :\

がんばってね！

Just an F.Y.I.

I am always looking for people to talk to over on ツイッターTwitter to practice my Japanese.
Also want to let everyone know if you are practicing English I will gladly help you!(But me saying that in English isn't doing anyone any good)...I'll give it a shot.
don't laugh if I mess this up...?
私はあなたに英語を教えることができます。
((I can teach you English)).
...

I need to be doing these posts in Japanese....well what I know.
I need help.
I need to read more.
Listen more.
Although I watch a lot of Japanese Vloggers and listen to podcasts.
So follow me on Twitter and I will follow back.
Talk to me, help me by correcting me!
THANK YOU!
ありがとうございます。

Vocabulary

Before heading into Kanji I am going to work on my vocabulary.

I know all the Hiragana and Katakana but I figured I would work on vocabulary in those instead.
I figured it would be easier, not sure why, but yeah.
It has small tests.
If anything I wont forget Hiragana or Katakana! lol.
Kanji, I am pretty excited and nervous, but more excited than anything.

*EDIT*
debating of rather or not I should add 20 Kanji a week to the 28 vocabulary I already am doing?
I will probably try it out for a few weeks just to see how it goes.

So, I made a family friendly twitter account where I will be practicing my 日本語(Nihongo/ Japanese)。
So if you want, you can follow me.
It'll be a bunch of the most random sentences. Anything that pops in my mind plus any questions I may have.
