Pre-Artwork (Not a Lesson :P)
It's tough being a student and a teacher during one's last year in HS but it's paying off. :) I really enjoy it and starting next semester I will get double the amount of time to do it. (Hurray!) Anyways I thought it would be funny to let you see what my work looks like when I'm not rushed. Here are the "prototypes" of Will and Mochiko. (nihonGO's Mascots... I waited until we learned ひりがな to introduce them to you...because I wanted you to see their names in Japanese.)
- もちこさん
She had blue eyes and brown hair? lol wut?
- ウィルさん (うぃるさん)
...Yeah...I don't think he even remind me of Will. XD
I decided to make them into チビ (chibi, aka really small and cute) because it took much less time to draw. XD It's one thing to make a lesson, a recording and then to blog it, but with drawing full pictures it would have taken me a whole day to make a lesson -- and I am a senior so I can't afford to do that. (It now takes me an hour to record a lesson, 45 min. to create a lesson and I spend another 30 minutes doodling FYI. It was much higher when I started. XD)
Well you will be seeing these...well their alpha-designs..of these characters a lot more often starting from lessons 19 onward. ^0^

We will have 7 more lessons in Step 1! (20) After these lessons I intend to stop until February because I have to present my project. :) So in order to complete these ASAP I amgoing to cut down a bit on pictures (drawn ones at least). :<
I'll start again after the presentation of course. (n_n)b

Hello everyone! This Christmas break I had meant to accomplish more but I had to catch up on homework and relatives I haven't met in 6-7 years! It's tough being a student and a teacher but I uploaded all the written ひらがな lessons and I will get the audio up once I figure out how to redo my studio. (Computers have been moved around so I have to figure something out.)
Now I'm taking this time to introduce a program we will be using throughout nihonGO! Smartfm Smartfm is an online flashcard program which is amazing. (And free!) Essentially there are dozens and dozens of premade lessons for Japanese (and other languages and subjects) made and the computer does all the work for you. When and what you should study is decided by the computer and there are a lot of neat tools.
As homework make an account, you will need a username and an email address. If you need to ask you parents for permission, tell them it's studying made easier.
My account is gyuunyuu. (牛乳／ぎゅうにゅう＝ milk) I see there is a username called gyuunyuu100. I have no idea who he is but he's definitely not me. :)
For the next month you should go through the following 3 "goals".
Hiragana
(For reviewing and practice. Go on ahead and start this one.)
Japanese Step 1
(This is a vocabulary goal. When starting choose "kana". We don't know kanji yet so we don't want to choose the other options. There are 1 or two カタカナ words. ドア = どあ ＝ door. There may be more but don't worry about them for now. )
I'm going to create my own goal with all the words, sentence structures and everything as I go along so I will get one that.
