Videos for Counting in Japanese

Have you tried counting in Japanese? If you have not done so, then this can help you count in Japanese from 1 to 20.

Remember that counting in Japanese takes many form depending on what particular subject/object is being talked about. I’ll add more as I found some enjoyable yet educational videos as I find them.

Our sensei handed us a handy list of counting things today. As to when can I master counting in Japanese, it  is unlikely that I can do it tomorrow.

Speaking Japanese Fluently

I wanted to change my MP3 collection of Pimleur for Korean Language to a Japanese audio books. While waiting for sometime before dressed, I searched for available MP3 references online. YouTube would likely yield good results and here’s two of the videos that I found. After watching these videos, you will have an idea on how to speak Japanese fluently. These two videos started my day with a smile so check them out. :)

0629 Personal Thoughts

I know, I should be working on my assignments right now but I feel sleepy already. Having work on my Kanji the whole day, it seems my mind is still preoccupied with characters instead of codes for my C programs.

Why did I work on my Kanji instead of my 5 assignments and 10 exercises? It is because the computer unit at the office is under corrective maintenance for being infected with numerous viruses (no antivirus installed).

Now, I am writing and updating my blogs (trying to) in order to clear off my mind temporarily.

I thought it will be easier to learn Japanese (Nihongo) in class but in my present status, I am not doing well, as in, not really doing well. Can’t even perfect my basic characters :(

Just in case you are not yet aware, Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji  are the forms of writing being used by Japanese people. Since I am undergoing an IT training under a Japanese project (note: I personally paid for my tuition fee and hoping to get a scholarship), I have to take this subject.

I’ll be posting some Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji topics soon as I learn them so keep reading.
