I hope you will ^^Smurfje wrote:Ommigosh, this is soooooooooooo handy!!! I am really going to practise this a lot!!!
Since there are so many lessons already, I'm not in a rush to upload new ones. But the truth is I've learned at least 3 times (at least) the amount of what I've posted already XD.
Japanese grammar is so interesting! I'm not at the basics of writing ^^ I found out that it really is easier to write when you understand the grammar ^^. I'm learning 2 alphabets now ^^. I've almost completely learned 'Hirigana' and I've written down 'Katakana' already so..
After I master those two I'll go off to practise 'Kanji'. Which is really difficult =__='l.. But fun because of it!!!
It looks really pretty ^^

I think that you've noticed the part about 'boku' and such.. As you can see, men use 'boku', but only when they're being informal ^^.
