Too burnt out after work today, so I continued with Sakura and Suzukiโ€™s story from Satori Reader, ep 4.

This series has an โ€˜easyโ€™ and โ€˜hardโ€™ version with the same content, so I tried them both this time. The hard version had more nuance to it, and the grammar was a bit tricky too. But then again, itโ€™s still beginner level grammar (N5 & N4) so I didnโ€™t have any difficulty understanding!

words
  • ่กŒๅ‹•ๅŠ› - ability to take action; energy; fire; dynamism; leverage [noun]
  • ใฐใฃใกใ‚Š- perfectly, properly, sure thing
  • ๆŒฏใ‚Š- after (period of time), again (meeting after so and so time ig)
  • ๆƒšใ‚Œใ‚‹ - to fall in love, to be in love, to be charmed

:dango: Girl Friends : page 5 โ†’ 11(I think)
:books: The Practice by Seth Godin : 3-4 pages

There we go guys! Since the majority voted for Girl Friends in my little poll. I decided to start reading it today. Technically I guess I was trying it out.

So what are my first impressions? (No spoilers, not talking about the story)

  • No furiganaโ€”thankfully not a problem since it is fairly common vocabulary and Iโ€™m used to it from reading VNs, so Iโ€™ve gotten pretty good at looking up things quickly anyway.
  • Seems to be kinda +1 in difficulty too, because I felt like I understood the nuance if I took the time to think on it a little. Too often I know Iโ€™m missing nuance but Iโ€™d have to dig into grammar to understand it and probably ask for help, so I stick with understanding the gist. But it seems for this I get to tease out a bit more than that. :smiley:
  • My reading speed felt so slow. xD Each chapter is about 25 pages and I expected to be able to read the first chapter fairly quickly. I forgot the โ€œlearn an authorโ€™s styleโ€ part, and getting to know the characters well enough that I donโ€™t have to think about every word in everything they say, instead I can kinda anticipate the meaning a couple of words into each sentence.
  • Seems fun and quite girly (not a negative or positive, just an observation)
  • I had real problems picking an emoji for this, because I already have a pink and a red emoji for other reads and girly stuff is always portrayed with pinkโ€ฆ And the cupcake emoji they have is boring: :cupcake: So ended up with :dango: (One would think I had a style guide for picking emoji since they are all pink/red/green or black/white/gray. xD But I wish they were more diverse in color, but Iโ€™m also picky in them feeling like they fit. -.-')

So yeah, good choice everyone. Will know better if it truly fits the reading slot I need it for after a get used to the authorโ€™s style, but right now it seems like a really good fit. :smiley:

Also read a few more pages in The Practice. Keeps being Seth Godin goodness.

Day 10 Progress:
ใ€†ๅˆ‡ๅ‰ใซใฏ็™พๅˆใŒๆ—ใ‚‹ - 71.47% โ†’ 99.49% ๅฎŒๆˆ!!

You can probably tell today was a bit better of a reading day than the last few because I read almost as much in one day as the last four combined. :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyway, pretty good read! Probably my favorite novel since I started putting my nose to the grindstone with reading Japanese some seven months ago. Itโ€™s actually comparatively short for a LN volume but the SOL pacing is good and it actually feels fairly substantial with great relationship progression. I was hoping that thereโ€™d be more introspection on LGBTQ matters which is what it seemed like at the beginning but they avoided making the tone of the novel too serious in the end. Excited to peep the second volume today or tomorrow.

Word of the Day: ้†้†ๅ‘ณ(ใ ใ„ใ”ใฟ) - flavor of ghee; delicious taste; more figuratively, the real pleasure (of something). Iโ€™ve actually never tasted ghee on its own before but now Iโ€™m curious as to why itโ€™s considered โ€˜the ultimate flavorโ€™โ€ฆ

Read Everyday Challenge โ€ข Days 6~11

Iโ€™m still reading everyday. Iโ€™m working through the Shinkanzen Master Reading textbook. I didnโ€™t expect it to be much by way of entertainment, but there is one story that I think was pretty interesting.

At the foot of a mountain there is one family that is raising a hawk, and another thatโ€™s raising a turtledove. Once both the hawk and the turtledove are big enough, they become able to fly. One day, the hawk eats the turtledove. Of course, the family of the eaten dove are saddened. But the family with the fully fledged hawk are so happy.

Whatโ€™s bad and whatโ€™s good depends on your positionโ€ฆ right? :sweat_smile:

Iโ€™ve made a collection of all the unknown words and grammar on my home page, so please take a look if youโ€™d like.

I decided to jump in at the deep end and take a look at The Tower of London by Soseki Natsume. I always find it interesting to hear about peoples experiences when they visit England from another country. Iโ€™d like to hope theyโ€™re all positive but as we all know, itโ€™s not nice for everyone.

Itโ€™s definitely tricky but I need the challenge. Read two short paragraphs in about 30 minutes but picked up a few things, which is the point!

New words that i might see/use again:

่ช˜ใ† - ใ•ใใ† to invite someone along
ๆ–ญใ‚‹ - ใ“ใจใ‚ใ‚‹ to refuse/reject/turn down
่จ˜ๆ†ถ - ใใŠใ memory/recollection
ใถใกๅฃŠใ™ - ใถใกใ“ใ‚ใ™ to destroy
ใ‚‚ใจใ‚ˆใ‚Š of course

Yesterday I read the first chapter of ใ•ใ‚ˆใชใ‚‰ใ™ในใฆใฎใƒ–ใƒซใƒผ. The cover art looked pretty and the review on Natively made it sound like something that Iโ€™d enjoy so I figured Iโ€™d give it a try. The book isnโ€™t that long (46k characters in total) so I imagine the story will be faster paced but I enjoyed the first chapter even though itโ€™s a bit on the harder side for me. The book also didnโ€™t give any furigana when introducing character names, so I am going to hope that I am reading their names right :joy:

Seeing @MissDagger start on Girl Friends inspired me to finally reread it in jp too so I started on that today. Since I read it so long ago in English, I only remember bits and pieces from it but it felt very nostalgic. Iโ€™ve only went through the first chapter so far but itโ€™s as fun as I remember it :grinning:

I donโ€™t know what it is that makes ๆŽจใ—ใ€็‡ƒใ‚† feel so difficult. I get the impression that itโ€™s supposed to be a quick, easy read for natives, but for me itโ€™s definitely not. Today felt generally slightly easier than last time, but Iโ€™m realizing that my Japanese comprehension still very heavily relies on context (rather than precise understanding), and for this specific setting I lack any kind of context. :sweat_smile:

Today I read chapter 66 of Mitsuboshi Colors.
It was a Christmas chapter, so a bit odd to read in April, but it was pretty cute.

Day 11: April 11th
What did I read?: ใƒšใƒณใ‚ฎใƒณใƒปใƒใ‚คใ‚ฆใ‚งใ‚ค :penguin:
How much did I read?: 3 pages
How long did it take me?: 16 min

Gosh, I canโ€™t believe I missed yesterday - I got so distracted doing other things and suddenly it was no longer 5:00pm, it was 10:00pm and I needed to go to bed :sob: Where the heck did all that time go??? This sort of thing usually doesnโ€™t happen to me. My head is so not in the game :upside_down_face: My head is out of the game :upside_down_face: I am struggles times, but for once itโ€™s not due to lack of motivation - I have lots of motivation but itโ€™s all directed toward other things :joy:

:white_flower:Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar ๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชžๅŸบๆœฌๆ–‡ๆณ•่พžๅ…ธใƒปpg 65
Finished Section 9. Iโ€™ve noticed a lot of the examples in this book are examples of things you shouldnโ€™t say rather than helpful illustrations, at least in the parts before the entries. The actual dictionary part seems way more helpful while the introductory parts feel more like the authors are trying to sound smart. The Intermediate Dictionary seems to have more of this problem with using complicated words and academic speech rather than language that is easy to understand. Again, the actual entries seem to not have this problem.

Finished volume 2! I was planning on reading till 80% but I kept thinking โ€œmight as well go 5% more,โ€ then eventually, โ€œwell Iโ€™m pretty much at the end might as well finish itโ€. I thought my reading endurance had gotten better lately but apparently this was pushing it, I think I used up the entirety of my brainโ€™s energy for the day.

:green_square: NANA 1 (62% โ†’ 100%)

First book of the challenge completed! By the end of the volume, I realized that I still really enjoy the world of NANA: Ai Yazawa has such an eye for fashion, and I find myself sympathetic toward her characters. I have several more volumes, but Iโ€™ll probably take a break from the series for now and move on to something else. @ChristopherFritz mentioned in the Bookwalker Freebie thread that volumes 1 to 18 of ๅๆŽขๅตใ‚ณใƒŠใƒณ are free to read for a couple or so weeks, so I might try and get through at least volume 2 of that.

ใƒป๏ผ”ๆœˆ๏ผ‘๏ผ‘ๆ—ฅใƒป

My Tokyo Treat box arrived today, and I had the ramen for dinner. When reading the instructions on the plastic wrapper (they were worded differently on the lid), it took me a bit to realize that โ€œๆณจใŽใƒ•ใ‚ฟโ€ isnโ€™t one word but ๆณจใŽ being used like the ใฆ-form and ใƒ•ใ‚ฟ being the first word of the second clause. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve seen that particular connective form without a comma after it before lol

  • ๆœˆๅˆŠๅฐ‘ๅฅณ้‡ŽๅดŽใใ‚“ issue 19-20, finishing vol 2!
  • ch 2 of xxxHOLiC vol 5 through the end of the volume. Seems even though the hydrangea story stuck with me, literally none of the details did lmao the dead girl being buried beneath the hydrangea was coincidence; my thinking hydrangeas grow where dead bodies are was my own misunderstanding after the fact. Iโ€™m pretty sure there is that superstition around spider lilies, though (at least the red ones)
  • 26 pages of ใ‚ตใƒžใƒผใ‚ตใ‚คใƒ€ใƒผ, leaving off on pg 255. Hooo, something Iโ€™ve suspected is looking like itโ€™s true. And Iโ€™m not sure if this way or the other way it coulda gone is better. Theyโ€™re both messed up.
Some vocab of note:

็…™็ฎก (ใ‚ญใ‚ปใƒซ) [n.] tobacco pipe with a metal-tipped stem. Loanword from Cambodia (I assume Khmer? Goo just says ใ‚ซใƒณใƒœใ‚ธใ‚ข)โ€” โ€œkhsierโ€
ใƒ“ใƒ“ใ‚Š่™ซ (ใƒ“ใƒ“ใ‚Šใ‚€ใ—) [n.] scaredy cat; โ€˜fraidy cat. I actually didnโ€™t find it in Shirabe or even Goo when I checked (I wanted to bookmark it), but it was clear from context what it meant.
ๆ•ดๅฝขๅค–็ง‘ (ใ›ใ„ใ‘ใ„ใ’ใ‹) [n.] orthopedic surgery
ๆ˜จๆ—ฅใฎไปŠๆ—ฅ (ใใฎใ†ใฎใใ‚‡ใ†) [expression] only yesterday; right on the heels of yesterday
่‡ชๅทฑ้ก•็คบๆฌฒ (ใ˜ใ“ใ‘ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚ˆใ) [n.] craving for the limelight
ใ“ใขใ‚“ใพใ‚Š [ใจ-adv., ใ™ใ‚‹-verb] snugly; neatly; compactly; cosily. The ใข may also be spelled as ใ˜.
็”ทๅฅฝใ (ใŠใจใ“ใšใ) [n., ใฎ-adj.] attractive to men; in a style (appearance, look, etc.) that men fall for
