hey Cyn, glad to see you made it to the jref forum! shiritori is a great way to build your vocab!
i just noticed on your last post you put "こんいち わ". just so you know for future references, it's actually "こんにちは". i made the same mistake at first. what happens is the romaji is written often "konichiwa" instead of "konnichiwa" or "kon'nichiwa". still, in the hiragana, "ha" is used instead of "wa", but the reason for this is that one is using the particle "wa," which is written with the hiragana character "ha". like in the example: watashi no namae wa biru desu. (my name is bill.) after "namae", "wa" appears, but in hiragana, it would appear as "ha". if one were to translate "konnichiwa" into english, it would mean literally "this day [topic marker particle]". actually, now that i look back, i think you put this in your signature, not just the post. anyway, yes, as someone stated before in this thread, you learn from your mistakes, and really that is the best way! you'll remember learning from mistakes a lot better than getting it right all the time! anyway, yes, good luck w/ your studies, and i look forward to seeing you around on the forum in the future! じゃ、また！
p.s. i just noticed another thing--the word for actress/actor is "yakusha" not "yakusho"--that's probably why you kept getting the wrong kanji... =D
