Mikawa Ossan: Indeed you are correct. Forgive me if I make mistakes, I'm a beginner and still learning hiragana (plus I"m trying to learn some kanji as well) so it's slow going. If I make more mistakes please do correct me.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with making mistakes, friend! It's one of the best ways to learn, after all. Don't be afraid to post any questions you might have about the language; there are plenty of people here who would be more than willing to help you out!
Mikawa Ossan: I'm glad I could find such a nice online community where I can practice speaking/typing in japanese. I feel if I can apply what I'm learning I will better remember it. ^_^
Check out the Inazo Nitobe "Bushido" thread. I'm slowly posting his book on Bushido. It comes with a little debate by other members! Feel free to contribute!
