Anyway, I know that it's been a bit since the last post, but I'm gonna make it up to you in just a moment.......


I've got a bunch of really good treats for you coming in from Tumbler and YouTube and Hulu that (I hope) is enough to gain your forgiveness........


But first things first....


I just want to go back over the lessons and simplify them so that it'll be easier to study (benkyo) with.

From the first lesson;

Sato San: Yamaguchi San! Konnichiwa!
Yamaguchi San: Sato San! Konnichiwa!
Sato San: O genki desu ka?
Yamaguchi San: Hai, genki desu. Anata wa?
Sato San: Genki, arigato.


Now I'm gonna break it into sections. We'll be going into each of the other lessons  bit by bit.




Okay!!! First treat!!!


This is from Hulu;
It's a show called Darker than Black. It's a really good show, but I'd like to  see what you guys think;

Okay, I'll write some things in English and you try to write them in Japanese.
Okay? Go ahead and get you a pen and paper....... I'll wait........




Okay, Ready? Here we go!


Hello! How are you?
I'm fine. And you?
I'm fine, thank you.
No, I'm fine.
Thank you, Mr. Sato.


Alright, I think that's everything. Now let's go over them a few more times out loud. Cover the screen with something before you start..... you ready?


Say, "Hello, Mr. Sato!"








Konnichiwa, Sato San!!








Now say, "Hello, Mr. Yamaguchi!"








Konnichiwa, Yamaguchi San!"








Say, "How are you?"










O genki desu ka?








Say, "I'm fine, and you?"








Genki desu. Anata wa?

Genki, Arigato.




Okay, I think that's enough. We'll go over more things in the next blog. Okay? Alright.  That's all for now!!!
