こんばんわ。Whew, I am glad that I have power, the other night the power suddenly went out all night and thus had no internet. Today in class it was certainly gave my brain a workout. We reviewed our Hiragana, which everyone in the class is doing well on, I'm not to sure what I might do when trying to learn Katakana as we have learned up to the row T today. Tomorrow Yuki sensei says we will finished them all tomorrow, こわい！！I might just be worrying myself, but still. As of today we've learned more about how to ask questions, more so being able to ask them ourselves instead of just answering them. Ex. なんじなんにちですか。That is asking the full date. 日本語 has easy concept, and they have random rules just like in English, which just means we have to stick to memorizing them! Also with learning あれとそれとこれ、we've learned どれ which means (Which), such as Which One? Along with the list there is が which follows after どれ just like with は there is が。The first thing we had done in class was listen to everyone's family despcription videos ( I still think everyone sounds better speaking Japanese than I do) but still, it was a good lesson and I've learned that I need to speak more flat with my Japanese. I was obviously trying to be too slow and clear with it, lol. I've listened to everyone else's vids and hopefully I've gotten my comments right!! *fingers crossed* I am just about done with homework, reviewing じゃありません to answering a question in a negative form, to learning the second alphabet Katakana!! The alphabet for foreign words!! Even French as well, I've talked with my mom about that and she told me that in the olden days you spoke French for foreign work/relations/market, as Yuki Sensei spoke about melon cake....Hmmm, I don't think I've ever had that before...I should try it sometime...After I finished studying my Katakana~ じゃまったね！！
