Maybe there is something in Japan with the name "Benihana." In Japanese it is the name of a flower.

But I think it also sounds like the name of a (famous?) overseas (Michigan) restaurant or store. :p ツ ツ

Just the places where you made mistakes.

Haha wa "Gakkou wa ikimasu!!!" to iimashita :(
Haha wa "Gakkou e ikinasai!!" to iimashita.

"E" (written with hiragana "he") is "to" pointing to the destination.
"Ikinasai" wa meirei-kei desu.
"Ikinasai" is command form.

Soshite, ashita shigoto o ikimasu!!:mad:

Nande sonna ni oitsumeteirunda? (Why are you so down on yourself?):(
Yappari, komakai bunpou no machigai wa arimashitaga, chotto machigai ga ookattara, naoshite agemasuyo. Watashi mo dekiru dake tetsudai shitai to omotteimasuyo !

Of course there are going to be small mistakes, and if we see a major error it will be corrected ! I also want to help as much as possible. 👍 :)

Demo, Skullcrushergurl san ni totte, nihongo wo benkyou suru no ni, ichiban yaku ni tatsu no ha nan da to omoimasuka? Skullcrushergurl san no benkyou houhou ni tuiste ha ashita kaite kudasaine.


But what do you think is the best way of studying Japanese ? Please write about your method of studying tomorrow. 🙂👍

Kikitori ha nihongo no benkyou no naka de, matto mo yaku ni tatsu to omoimasu. (The best way I think is through conversation with natives and advanced speakers)


Sono ue, nihongo ha chakujitsu ni mo benkyou shinakarebanaranai desu. (In addition, you also must study Japanese step by step).

Nihongo no kyoukasho ga nakattara, kihontekina bunpou wo benkyou dekinai deshoune. (Without a textbook you cannot learn basic grammatical Japanese.)


Gengo wo narau ni ha, "hanasu dake" ha mada wakaru toshite mo, "yomu dake", "kaku dake" to iu no ha imi ga nai shi, manabu koto ga dekinai to omoimasu.

Even if you can learn a language enough to understand it by only speaking, "only reading" or "only writing" doesn't make sense. It it isn't possible to learn this way.

Watashi no benkyou no fuzoku wo kanjimasu yo. Dekiru dake mijikai bun wo tsukuritai to omoimasu. (I also feel my lack of study As much as possible I like to write short sentences.) :p

Ganbatte ne ! 🙂
 
Hontou wa ikenai to omoimasuga, romaji deno kaiwa wo surutokoro ga hokani arimasennode, kono sure dake wa genteiteki ni kyokashiteimasu.
Sou deshoune. Tonikaku, jitsuha, watashi ga Nihongo to itta no ha romaji mo fukumarete imasune. 😌 Tanni chigau monji desune.
 
nanika wo iu arimasen
[nothing to say]

Shitte imasen (inai) ha fudan tsukawanai desune. "Shiranai" desu.
Arigatou, Elizabeth san. Wakarimashita kedo, ano toki omotte inakatta deshou.
(Thanks, Elizabeth san. I knew that, but I guess I wasn't thinking at that time.)

Today is homecoming(how do you romajize that?!)]

[Kikitori wa nihongo no benkyou houhou no naka de, motto mo yaku ni tatsu to omoimasu.] mo shitte wa itakedo, kangaete wa inakattan desu ne...
