ok, so it's so not that serious, lol, but I just felt like saying that.
Anyway, I found another site for people who are learning, but once again, I haven't really used it so I'm not reviewing it in the Japanese resources. If you guys use it and like it, please review it in the resources thread, here[/url]. It's similar in style and content to Tae Kim's famous guide but presented in a different way. I think it's worth checking out and can be used to clarify things that confuse you when using TK's site.
It's called [u]IMABI, which is like a strange, fictional reading of 今日。
edited to add: They also have a section on classical japanese and it looks like they'll be adding info on dialects soon.
so like a dumbed down version of TK? cause that's what i need :p haha i'm gonna go check it out right now!
Boutux you still don't know if you'll be in Tokyo or elsewhere though right? let me know when you find out if you're in Tokyo maybe we can meet up :D it's still not for sure that i'm going, i'll find out tomorrow if my mother in law can take wednesday off work so we can drive down to Toronto to the passport office, both of our passports are expired, if we do it by mail it takes 20 days plus mailing time to get there and back so we may not get them in time. if we go to the passport office it's 10 days processing time. we don't want to risk not getting them in time after buying tickets eek! PLUS my brother in law isn't sure if they can do the paperwork they need to do that week, which is the purpose for us going. if it turns out they can't do it yet we won't be going. so it's sorta up to him to not procrastinate and get the info he needs quickly so we know if we can book our tickets or not.
we're also hoping for better deals on tickets, right now it's just shy of $1500 per person round trip. supposedly prices drop at around 11pm to midnight on tuesday night so i'm gonna stay up and check this tuesday, to get an idea of what kind of deals there are, and then we'll book it next tuesday i guess if we find out we can go..
so i'm trying not to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't happen
and yeah i haven't posted anything but i usually do my lessons at work and the weekends are super busy at work right now i don't even have time to eat lunch which is when i do my studying. it's ice fishing and snowmobiling season and our store is right on the major trails and across the road from a lake. i get snowmobilers in huge groups all day saturday and sunday, i don't get much of anything done lol
