Yo, 'sup!! Hahaha..
I forgot to reply the last time I logged in...last month, i think lol
And yep, I'm still playing the game and reading mangas and webnovels on the side. Recently, I feel like studying Japanese so I'm planning to watch anime again, and ta-da! I'm here again in MAL, updating my pitiful list. But sadly, looks like there's no new interesting one. But I added some at random and will check it later if they are already finished airing.
So how's life? ^^ Hope you're doing well over there, haha.
You mentioned your girl's into musical. I noticed there are lots of anime this summer and spring with music genre. Have you checked already? Sorry, I can't recommend a specific one because I don't usually watch those types, lol.

...Oh yeah, happy anniversary to your sunburn, lol~

Lelz.. what, it's been a month already? I totally forgot to check this message back xD
And no, no. Of course not. I still love anime ^^ Let's just say I'm "saving" them for future watching so I won't experience the 'emptiness' I'm feeling whenever there's no good anime to watch, lol
And no, playing Ragnarok is addicting. Stick to watching anime for now with your girlfriend :P
And why Toradora? You and her, watching Toradora? A rom-com? Oh my goodness! Can imagine the cringe xD
Do tell me her thoughts about it after watching it, will you? ^^
Ohh.. sunburn. I guess.. you're already healed by now. It's been a month! LOL...

Yo, what's up? ^^
I'm here, busy playing Ragnarok mobile, lol.
Haven't watched any new anime for quite a while now.
How about you? How's life? ^^

hello

I think I mentioned it before. But not directly, I think XD
..anything interesting, you asked.. Well, nothing new. I read and watch stuffs when I find it interesting enough to spend my time on.

sorry for replying so slowly... I have been progressing steadily with my Japanese. I am getting close to half way of Tae Kim's complete guide and have learned around 300 kanji so far :) I have also started creating more efficient flashcards to make it easier... Finals are just around the corner so I've been struggling doing anything more than reviewing and learning 5 new kanji per day. You don't know how much I am looking forward to the end of this month haha... Soon I'll have to decide what the helll I wanna be doing in life, so that adds a lot to the stress.
There is also something else on my mind... when do you think I should start actually talking with someone in Japanese? I was thinking of finishing Tae Kim first and then find a conversational partner while going through a textbook such as Tobira

and here something in jap :D

こんにちわ！最近は、元気ですか？僕は、元気ですよ。夏の始まりだから。日本語の勉強は、簡単だから、とても楽しい。でも、僕が忙しいので、時間が少ない。
alchemeisterさんの彼女は、どうですか？おいくつですか？
今は、学校が大変でうすよ。試験が多いから。
I could say more, but I don't want to bother you that much :D

Yo, what's up? ^^
Yep. I have no choice.. it's a job 'requirement' XD
And nope, haven't 'seriously' tried to play one since the last time we talked, to be honest.

what's up? how have you been? have you been speaking any Japanese?

hello again! Have you taken the JLPT yet? What do you need to know about Kanji there? Do you need to differentiate from on yomi and kun yomi, or is it enough to be able to read them correctly in a word? Sorry for so many questions

Yep. That's why I decided to leave it for now. I'm reading other 'study' materials instead.

50 eps a week? That's insane.

I'm.. I don't know what to feel. I find it a little 'boring'..? I don't know if it's because I'm just starting or what.
I need japanese text..

Nice. How many kanji have you learned up until now?

And yeah, I have already ''mastered'' hiragana and katakana. I've been reading some wikipedia articles in japanese just to get used to them and learn to associate the characters to their respective sounds.

The main reason I wanted to learn japanese is because with all the anime that I've seen I have become quite used to language and it isn't extremely hard for me to understand the main meaning of a couple of sentences. In my opinion, by not learing it I would have wasted all of that time spent watching anime. From what I have seen Japanese grammar is easy. Coming from italian and slovenian (my mother tongue), where grammar btw is a pain in the ass, pronunciation isn't a problem at all.

Now I am progressing through Tae Kim. So far it's great. I don't know how it will be as I adventure deeper into his guide kanji-wise, we'll see.

Anime.. manga.. work.. life.. the usual.
Hey, I finally played one. Look below. But no japanese text, sadly.. T__T

hey, sorry it has been so long.. i have been postponing my japanaese studying since the last time i talked to you... At the time I had almost already learned all of hiragana, but then I have given up on it.. but this week I've started to take it seriously and have started learning for real.

so here I am asking you, do you know of any kana reading practice site? I just need walls of hiragana and katakana for me to read... most of the exercises that i have found so far on the internet concentrate mostly on individual words or sentences :)

how are you doing btw?

Oh, hello!

Well, I tried but... I got a copy of Dies Irae here I couldn't play it. Still looking for a better source.
For the meantime, I'm busy with.. something else.
