I'm reading Curious George in Japanese

[oonter]

It's a childrens book, and I love that I can get away with it because it's a language. but it's not easy reading material for me.... I have so much more to learn...

That is a great way to learn. That is one thing that I do. Good luck...and don't give up!

I like little kids books too. They are usually all in hiragana and use easy words. The first word I ever read in hiragana was shinkansen! In Japan I watch kids shows too! I learned a lot of numbers through commercials saying their phone number. I can recite the AXA direct phone number and pretty much the whole commercial, although I don't know what most of the words mean!
