Japanese

I’ve wanted to learn Japanese for a while now, but haven’t really put forth the effort. I watched “Your Name” (君の名は。) last month and what really got to me was the Radwimps music. Maybe it’s just because I’m not used to Japanese like I would be with English, but there’s something truly pleasing about the way it sounds. So, I decided that if there’s ever a time to learn, it’s now.

I’ve dug up my installer for Rosetta Stone, purchased Genki 1 textbook and workbook, and checked out a couple of apps and websites for memorizing the kana. I also set my phone’s language to Japanese in an effort to immerse myself and learn by association. A friend I talk to overseas actually put me in contact with one of her friends, who is a Japanese exchange student, so that’s pretty cool.

I have a long, long, way to go, but I’m determined to actually stay dedicated this time around. Maybe if anyone actually pays attention to these posts, come prod me sometime and make sure I’m still on track.

Morrowind….

I’m going to beat it this time! I’m still going to screw around like I usually do, but I’m determined to beat this game. Taking it easy on the stats, just focusing on having fun and completing quests.
