LRNJ--Learn Japanese RPG








If you like RPG games, you will probably like LRNJ. LRNJ is an RPG that first test the kana (katakana first then hiragana) then test kanji recognition. It helped me in learning how to recognize hiragana and katakana pretty well, and I have been using for the sometime to learn some of the  kanji. Though it doesn’t teach you words, it can be useful in learning what different kanji characters represent. The free demo gets you through katakana and hiragana and then some kanji!

PE goal statement



こんばは、

In order to increase my Japanese speaking ability, I have listed some goals and activities to help me learn Japanese.

Goals:

-To be able to speak better, especially when it come to pronunciation and intonation of words.

-Also to be able to better distinguish between different Japanese words so I can understand them and respond, using the phrases I learn in class and also through Japanese media (anime, drama, manga, etc)


Activities

-Go to the Japanese language table at least every other week to have more interactions outside of class to converse in Japanese

-Watch at least one episode of anime on the weekends to get better at differentiating between words and also to learn pitch patterns and intonations of words.

- Listening to a playlist of Japanese songs, to increase my recognition of words. Also to sing along to learn how to pronounce the words better, especially words with glides and double consonants.

Until next time,
じゃ また!
