Sorry Sensei,

I didn't post on my blog last week like I was supposed to, so i'll do it now. Plus this is a convenient way to avoid doing homework. I can sort of pretend this is homework and avoid studying Grammar.

I have been reading through a bunch of other people's blog's in Japanese but it's very difficult still, even after installing Rikai-chan and having studied Japanese in Japan for six months. There's such a big gap between speaking ability and reading ability in Japanese, it's pretty frustrating sometimes being pretty much functionally illiterate. I have been studying Kanji pretty hard lately but I don't like the way we learn the Kanji in class. We learn them totally divorced from the compounds, so even if i recognise every Kanji in a new compound, chances are I won't be able to read it. Although I might get the meaning just from the Kanji meanings.


That's about it for blogging for now.
