Assignment 14

 I'm surprised at how much I was actually able to learn. I know how to form little sentences but they're still sentences. I'm very sad I won't be able to continue with it next semester. Practicing is very important. I know this is just the beginning of learning Japanese but a lot of it makes sense when forming a sentence. Kanji is very interesting too. 

Assignment 13

 I have another song recommendation, it is called Dress Down by Kaoru Akimoto. I feel like this song is popular but I don't know :). The song was released in 1986. A friend recommended me the song about two years ago.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9hGXjaKH_g

Assignment 11

 I listen to this song pretty often. It is called Washitachi o Shinjite Ite by Cindy . I would recommend a listen, it was released in 1990. I still haven't looked at the English translation of it, so, hopefully it is appropriate.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr-WemEPw48

Assignment 9

My teacher from the Japanese class I took when I was in high school would show the class this scene from the movie Tampopo. I recently saw the full movie of Tampopo because of my USEM, it is a very odd but funny movie, I would recommend it. This clip I have attached is a scene where the older man is demonstrating to the younger man how to eat ramen.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WrkdTrrwew

Assignment 8

 まいにちごぜんさんじにねました。だから、ごごいちじにおきました。それから、すいようびにシカゴにいきました。にちようびにりょうにかえりました。きのうばんへやをそうじしました。そして、私はシャワーをあびました。ごぜん十二じにねました。
