Welcome back! To those actually interested in the manga I used for lesson material last time, sorry for the cliffhanger (well, perhaps that’s a little strong, it wasn’t that dramatic ^^;). Today we will cover the negative present tense! Click here for lesson 1 or here for the previous lesson (6). Ready? Rettsu GO!

This has got to be the most out of order Japanese reading course you’ll ever find. ^^; This is also an unheard of two Japanese lessons in a row. Anyhow, today’s topic is wanting! As in, “I want to go swimming” or “I want to eat taiyaki.” Or…
Sorry about the bad scan… manga don’t exactly lay flat ^^;; Lesson material is taken from the opening chapter of まんが家さんとアシスタントさんと (まんがかさんとあしすたんとさんと == Mr. Manga Artist & Ms. Assistant &). Read on for an explanation of the “tai” form, but first, and introduction to verbs! Might be unsafe for work, but then again you shouldn’t be studying Japanese at work (usually) :P
From this point on, I will not always put up romaji for the hiragana, so make sure to get those down! Total immersion, it’s for your own good :P

This is the last hiragana lesson, woo hoo! Luckily I find this the easiest part to remember, hopefully you do too ^^
Alrighty, here we go! Lesson 4 is here or start from the beginning if you’re behind.

San Francisco’s Japan Town has its fair share of festivals and such throughout the year. Today I actually remembered to bring my camera while attending the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Really beautiful day, but unfortunately that meant bigger crowds ^^;

A slight detour from reviews and a little break before we finish up hiragana. This lesson is more for intermediate students or late beginner I suppose. Nevertheless it may prove interesting and perhaps be a little more practical.

Today’s topic is… all sorts of random things that you might’ve wondered about… and has nothing to do with tsukiumi ^^;; Check here to continue with the hiragana lessons, or here to go to the previous lesson.

Last Japan trip post, promise ^^;
We’ve got the view from Sunshine 60, a more few random shots from all over and finally narita-san, a template in narita.

Welcome back, to the stage of history! … sorry. Welcome back to another Japanese reading lesson! This week we’re going to finish off hiragana! (well, almost, one more lesson to cover some extra sounds after this, but they’re just slight modifications of the characters you already know.) This is probably one of the few nsfw Japanese lessons you’ll find online (sorry but a few pantsu shots made it in as study material ^^;;;). On the other hand, if you can study Japanese at work, you can probably look at pantsu :P

Are you ready? Be prepared for H, M, Y, R, and W characters, finishing up with the only solo consonant in the language! Brace yourself, this is going to be a long lesson… lots of things to explain! It may be best to cover a little at a time rather than trying to absorb everything all at once ^^; If you’re behind, here you can find all the previous lessons or click here for quick access to lesson 3.

Still trying to decide who to review next (probably Teana…? mmm hiyori?) so in the meantime, more pics from my trip. Before we get to that though, just a little housekeeping…
I’m planning on messing with the layout and am curious what sort of horizontal real estate I should work with…
Alrighty, on with the show!
50+ pics… don’t want to have to do 10 more posts for my trip, so doing big chunks ^^; Probably just one more after this…

Pics of/guide through my day trip to Kamakura & Enoshima! Turn back now if you’re looking for akiba-kei shenanigans, those will resume later :P
From the Shinagawa station it was about 1000 yen and 1 hour to get to Kamakura. Really easy to trip to make with no transfers. Also, supposedly a lot cheaper if you get the special kamakura day pass which includes a round trip to Kamakura and unlimited use of local rail in the kamakura area (enoden & odakyu). I say supposedly because I got a late start that day and dashed off to the train station as fast as I could… didn’t stop to try and figure out how to buy one ^^;; Alas it woulda been worth it. The local enoden line was expensive!

Sometimes I feel like my loot posts are just cheap filler (not that that would ever stop me :P)… but regardless, if there was ever a time for a loot post, it’s now.
Today I present akiba loot!
Sadly no… no figures. In the end, given my shrinking available display space and the fact that I’ve pretty much ordered everything I really really want… I just couldn’t find anything I felt like buying. This trip got me back to my manga roots ^^; All told, probably somewhere between ７万円 and ８万円 spent on goodies (though I do have ～１５０００円 unaccounted for orz… did I really spend that much more on food/travel? ^^;;;). Anyhow, let’s take a closer look…
