Toeic!!

[Ashikaga]

Oh, I don't collect postcards. Can I have 古印最中 instead?

LOL Sure. I can just pick some up on my way home this evening! Like I said, PM me your mailing address and I WILL send it to you.

For those of you who are not familiar with 古印最中/ koin-monaka, (and why should you? lol) it is Monaka sold by this store in the city of Ashikaga called 香雲堂本店 (kou-un-doo-honten). The site says they've been in business for over 100 years! Wow. Monaka is basically some sweet redbean paste (anko) inside wafer shells.

The name "ko-in" comes from the shapes of these wafers. They are shaped like old/traditional (古) seals/stamps ( 印 ).
Many tourists take these home as a souvenir when they visit Ashikaga.

You sound unwilling. I don't need it!

No one NEEDS a monaka.

Anywho... I did say I would send you a gift twice now. Take it or leave it. I just don't wanna hear you crying and moaning about it later.

Which do you recommend, ﾂ舟窶凖ｨ窶堙戸?ｰ窶堙ｦ窶堋､窶堋ｩ窶堙ｱ or ﾅ津ν?ｳﾂ催??吮?? ?

 

[Ashikaga]

Which do you recommend, 舟定の芋ようかん or 古印最中 ?

芋羊羹。 Like I've said, send me a PM if you DO want me to send it to you. OK? OK.

Hello everyone!
There is a new cool app on AppStore to practice TOEIC test:

It's an iOS application that is basically a simulator of the TOEIC test. Users of the app can select two modes: Practice and Exam. In the practice mode TOEIC candidates can practice separate skills and sections of the TOEIC and see the correct answers and transcripts. In the exam mode users can complete all 200 questions under real TOEIC conditions.
The basic features of the app are free, the additional are paid. Check it out!

I don't have any personal experience writing the TOEIC, but I recently wrote a couple blog post about some of the top rated study material (reviewed and rated by students, of course) - books, websites, and courses are all included in the blog post!
Check it out here (it's also available in Espanol, 한국어 and 窶愿ｺ窶怒ﾅ津ｪ): A List of the Best: TOEIC Preparation Resources | ESL Explorer Blog

Also I work for a company that offers students 50% off TOEIC Preparation courses in certain cities. Email me at ebunting[at]eslexplorer.com if you're interested in learning more, or just visit the website: Study English abroad and review ESL schools and courses - ESL Explorer

Hope this helped!
