Yeah, so… maybe for those that are at Facebook or are reading by Feeds are going to get hit with some random posts from months ago… This is because I’m cleaning up my post queue… and screwed up the timestamps again.
So… I do apologize for the inconvenience.
Also, I turned off commenting in Facebook. I manually moved all the FOUR comments I’ve had, and will be implementing a simple linking mechanism so that you can just click on a link like “Click Here to Comment” so that you’ll get pushed to this site… I like Facebook for showing you the content… but I want to be in control of the discussion through Wordpress.
Oy, that’s another one to add to the to-do list…
Japanese
For Koreans, Japanese should be much easier than for other people. Lots of similarities abound, but there are many more differences that make this language fun but challenging to learn. I’m personally almost done with learning the hiragana (平仮å [ã²ã‚‰ãŒãª], wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana) entry) and continuing on to katakana.
While I was learning trying to figure out how to pronounce things, I figured out some mnemonics. I’ll share them here, so that just in case someone else wanted to start up this language, it’ll help them a little bit. I’ll also share how much I’m pissed off at how characters are way to similar… and some of the strange quirks of the language (get it straight… why is ã‚ãŸã—ã‚ spelled ã‚ãŸã—㯅)
Maybe it’s time for a language partner. I guess that’ll make my stay on the UIUC campus a little bit more interesting.
