Entry 1

Happy New Years~

My goal of this class is just to get a better understanding of the Japanese language and pass with a B or higher... I really this I need to surround myself with more productive people than myself, but I feel like, with the few people I actually talk to in class, I end up unfocusing them. When I talk to Japanese people I can't always understand and they can't always think of a way for me to understand either. I JUST WANT TO GO TO JAPAN.

Unfortunately after this semester, I have to stop being a student. I can't stay in school and Kent is going to cost me more money and stress than I can afford.

It really sucks right now, I had a sinus infection last week and it Evolved!
サイヌスイーンフェクシュン

So yea... Bronchitis is stupid.

So... next week, when I hope AAAALL of this is gone, I gotta work my butt off. No movies, no games, no facebook.... I. NEED. TO. WORK.

めぐみつぼい 活動の聞き

Blog Entry 5

For this past week we studied some new adjectives for chapter 22, which include: うるさい、心配、びんぼう、ペらペら、変、らく(楽), and then were quizzed on them.

AばB
We also learned and reviewed ~ば what it means and compared it to たら.
〜ば is used as AばBです。If A then B. It follows more of a logical flow, without the use of opinions. Where たら is used more for opinions, and hypothetical phrases and questions. To make something in the 〜ば form, for verbs, you must remove the final vowel sound from a word in the dictionary form and add an エ sound. くbecomes け, then proceed to add 〜けば.  For い adjectives and anything in the negative (which must be short form) you replace the い with け, because the い becomes く, then follows the former rule dropping the ウ to become け. For な adjectives and nouns, take the dictionary form and add 〜であれば. たら means the same thing as 〜ば, but たら is for hypothetical situations, so its commonly used with になるand てする.

AのにB
Then we learned のに, which I'm still not entirely clear on, and compared it to けど, and ので.
AのにB means Although A, B. For facts or events that have happened.
AけどB means A but B.
AのでB means B because A.
