ありがとうございました。ハハハ、私は日本語が上手と思いません。毎日たくさんの日本語の言葉を忘れます。

高校一年生から高校三年生まで勉強しました。先生はとても良かったですから、日本語を書くことが出来ます。ひとりで勉強しませんでした。アドベンチャー日本語を読みました。その本がちょっとミスがあります。

Ahh, I'm unfamiliar with the formation: よんだらどうですよ. Is it like the 'if clause' in japanese where the ra is added to the past tense of the verb?

私でよければ教えます。

私の名前はケイラです。どうぞよろしくおねがいします。

はい、いっしょにれんしゅうしたいですが、私は漢字が苦手です。振り仮名が大好きです。

ありがとうございます。

Are there any good japanese language sites you would recommend? I know japanese pod, but I want to find more with kanji and furigana, haha. I'm not in school, so I'm pretty much just riding solo. But review and practice with you will be tons helpful, thanks a bunch! ^^

That's so cool you're studying it in college! :)

あなたはすごいですね。
I wish to be at your level someday! :) Haha, I need to look up some words you have on here. Thanks for the inspiration.

I used to be quite militant in trying to cram kanji into my brain, but I've grown more lax about my approach. I find I remember them better if I learn the kanji in various contexts---namely, in vocabulary that they appear in. It helps cement it in my mind better.

That's another reason why those flashcards are awesome; they provide the kun'yomi and on'yomi readings, as well as the correct brush stroke order and several of the most common words you'll encounter that kanji in.

Hmmm, I've never really used a kanji workbook (aside from the kanji introduced in the JLPT series), but I've always been a fan of the White Rabbit Press Kanji Flashcards:

They are organized in a series, and work up in terms of most commonly used kanji, as well as in terms of language difficulty for the JLPT exams (of which, N5 is the first level, and N1 is the most challenging)

I highly recommend them :)

Hey there Kristina!

You said you're majoring in Japanese, correct? But based on your age I'm assuming you're in your first year. Let me know how it goes? I'm always interested in knowing how universities structure their Japanese programs, and since I don't study in university (I study with a private tutor from Nagoya) I'm always curious as to see what areas of study are focused on.

Who knows, maybe we'll be able to help each other?

Also, don't feel bad about not visiting Canada despite living directly beneath it. I live in Canada, have seven years on you, and yet have only visited America once (Michigan), for the lump sum of three entire hours. So you're not the only geographically isolated individual on Interpals!
