すしをください

In class today I learned the proper way of eating sushi (^_^) おいし!  One is not supposed to mix and stir the wasabi into the soy sauce, just put a little bit of wasabi onto the sushi, and then dip the sushi  A LITTLE BIT into the soy sauce and remember NOT TO DIP the rice part of the sushi onto the soy sauce.  When eating in a sushi restaurant, if you sit at the sushi bar, you eat the sushi using your hands, therefore, pick up the sushi and pop into your mouth, if you are seated using the tables you can eat using chopsticks.

Homework today: workbook plus writing our journals - what to write what to write. 

Til next time gotta write my 日本語にき。

Just because I couldn't think of a title......

I finally finished the book "Read Japanese Today", well actually I finished it a week or so ago.  The book was interesting, I can now recognize some Kanji, more than what I used to know anyway. This book however does not have stroke orders for the Kanji.  I prefer to learn the Kanji along with the proper stroke order.  The summary at the end is helpful, but I find that I am able to remember the Kanji more if I practice writing it while remembering what it means.  The summary is a good reference if you already know how to write the Kanji, therefore, I am on to my next search for my next Kanji book - with stroke orders preferably.

Voltes V

I just finished downloading Voltes V - yes, the cartoon from way back when. Am looking forward to watching it - brings back childhood memories.  I remember this was shown every Friday afternoon therefore, I would make sure to be home from school in time for Voltes V, however, it was dubbbed in English back then, now I am actually attempting to watch it in Japanese.....ummmm.....I lie......it has English subtitles =)  Anyhow....soon (I hope) I won't have to rely on subtitles =)

Today, I got my textbooks for my Level 2 course, just browsing through it - it looked intimidating, definitely looks different from my Level 1 textbook.  I was told by my sensei though that when classes start we will be able to decipher the puzzle that is in the textbook.....looking forward to that - two more weeks til classes start.

Haven't started Section 2 of my Kanji book, am not going to make any excuses.....I just have to get back to it!
