1st may that came around so quickly yikes

home post

did the first half of the last section of case 4! was probably the easiest section to read so far, mainly cos there were a lot of repeated words and the grammar was pretty approachable. also had a reveal in the case that i didnโ€™t see coming until much later than i normally do with these kinds of things and it was a good reveal!

words that stood out: ๆณจๆ„ๆทฑ(ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ„ใถใ‹)ใ„ (attentive, careful, cautious. was used to describe how a character should examine a knife), ใ†ใ‚„ใ‚€ใ‚„ (indefinite, vague, undecided. can also appear in kanji as ๆœ‰่€ถ็„ก่€ถ(ใ†ใ‚„ใ‚€ใ‚„)), and the expression ้ขจ(ใ‹ใœ)ใฎๅน(ใต)ใๅ›ž(ใพใ‚)ใ— (stroke of luck, curious turn of events) cos i like it! seems to have a more positive connotation than the (literal) english equivalent.

Short read, moving day!

Read:

  • ใ‚คใ‚ธใ‚‰ใชใ„ใงใ€้•ท็€žใ•ใ‚“ ch 127 With the longer times between chapters and the way things are developing, it really feels like this story is gearing up to end pretty abruptly. Iโ€™m still enjoying it, but it is kind of a weird realization. The ending really can make or break a series for me, so hoping author can pull it off well

Finished the 2nd chapter in ใ‚ˆใคใฐใจ.

Itโ€™s going well so far, but the more I read, the more grammar points I come across. Not sure if itโ€™s because Iโ€™m just starting to notice all the small (yet important) ones or if the general difficulty level of the manga is gradually increasing. Might have to read some more to figure that out. But yayy starting chapter 3 now!

:jigsaw: Graded reader: ใ‹ใพใใ‚Š

:princess: Tileworld Chronicles - Markus Ascent Chapter 1, p. 6 - 9
We finally learn the protagonists name, as well as the name of his savious: Markus and Celestina. They decide to go searching for runestones together, and make a bit of a competition out of it. They decide to go eat dinner together after a successful search.

One point that confused me was the ใšใฃ in " โ€ฆใ‚’ใšใฃๆŽข(ใ•ใŒ)ใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ—ใŸ". Time to read ahead in the grammar dictionary.

For now my goal is to read at least one graded reader per week (though with the level 0 ones I can probably manage one each day), and additionally read at least 10 minutes each day.

That gets exactly 4 hits in google, so I suspect a typo for ใšใฃใจๆŽขใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ—ใŸโ€ฆ

May 1st!

Today I read Chapter 78 of Shadowโ€™s House. I managed to read todayโ€™s chapter quite smoothly, I think the text was a bit less dense than most of the recent chapters.
I was tempted to start the next chapter because I really want to know what happens next!

  • aDoJG/Basic : ๅ‡บใ™ - ใฉใ†

Probably the nicest part of ใง is the diagram at the last page.

Decided to pick up because of the 10 exercises at the back of the book. Other than following the exercises, following bold topics in TOC might be just as viable.

  • played Lost sphear for 1.5h, yay! (a few fights and a bit of running around but mostly intensively read dialogues and some in-game info sections)

Also, I didnโ€™t make any end of month summary post since Iโ€™m only two weeks in and basically been playing only one game - but actually, the fact that I did read almost everyday for ~1 hour so far is a great success for me, and I noticed Iโ€™m not getting tired so fast as in the beginning, thatโ€™s nice
So Iโ€™m very grateful for this challenge :3

Apr 30
I just read some pages in manga magazines.

April was neither a good nor bad month for reading I finished one book, two video games and some manga volumes. The number of pages I read in April was 1858 pages. Of course I hoped to read over 2000 pages but of it doesnโ€™t really matter. Maybe if I hadnโ€™t bought some english books and read them I may have reached that number. :sweat_smile:

็กๅญใฎๅก”ใฎๆฎบไบบ . 0-7%

I had been planning to read ๅ››็•ณๅŠ็ฅž่ฉฑๅคง็ณป today, but I couldnโ€™t concentrate. So on a whim I started ็กๅญใฎๅก”ใฎๆฎบไบบ instead. I had just bought the audiobook, and lately Iโ€™m finding that reading along while listening keeps me more focused.
Such a fun, intriguing start! Itโ€™s apparent from the very first pages that this is not only a mystery itself, but also a love letter to mystery literature in general.
Itโ€™s frustrating that I didnโ€™t even manage to finish the first section of the first chapter. These sections are long, and the audio files stop at the most random places. I really want to read on, but itโ€™s getting late.

:infinity: Loopers : a little of chapter 12
:white_flower: A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar

I spent the last few days of April reading the grammar dictionary and nothing else. Not the best end to April, but not the worst. And then finally today I picked up Loopers again after finishing this week of the dictionary early.

Taking a month long break means I need to get into the style again, and it decided to jump around with all the minor characters so was a bit meh.


How was April overall?

Finished 2 manga volumes, picked my next lazy manga read, started a new manga series. Barely any English fiction reading, and only sporadic non-fiction reading in English. I hope I can do better there. I donโ€™t want to fall too far behind on my English reading goal.

However, Iโ€™ve been happy with how well Iโ€™ve kept up with the dictionary club. Iโ€™ve fallen behind at times, but since weโ€™re not trying to rush through the thing, it hasnโ€™t been hard to make up time.


As for May? Well, Iโ€™ll be missing almost a week of most anything when I have family visiting and finally finishing the heating system change that was started last fall.

Also Tears of the Kingdom (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2) releases the same day my family comes to visitโ€ฆ :sob: so Iโ€™ll have to wait to start playing it until they leave. So I also suspect that after I get started on that wellโ€ฆ I might miss a few days. xD

But I will try to keep up with the dictionary reading, and also the Ouran high school host club book club starts in the later half of May and I look forward to starting that even if that will be right in the first few days of my Tears of the Kingdom playing. :joy:

So my prediction is that I can do as well in May as I did in April (maybe it would be more accurate to say do at least as poorly as I did in April, I could really have read more! xP), but Iโ€™ll aim for better. More actual Japanese reading (not just grammar reading) and more fiction reading in English (not just non fiction), those are my main plans. I need to catch up with my reading partner on Loopers, Iโ€™m now officially two chapters behind, plus a new chapter started today. ^^โ€™

I was able to read your entire post. Usually, I find myself skipping over some kanji because I either donโ€™t remember or donโ€™t know how to read it. But I not only knew all the kanji, I understood perfectly what you were talking about! All my reading practice has paid off. :confetti_ball: :confetti_ball: :confetti_ball:

(want a blue flower because May is blue to me but books will have to do lol)

Iโ€™ve fallen off the wagon a bit with reading after a busy day at work (is hiking 15km with your students busy? :rofl:) and not super great diagnosis, but my desire to buy more books is motivating me to read more. Iโ€™ll be in the city with the big bookstore next week so if I can finish chapter 10 of Chamber of Secrets that gives me an excuse to buy Prisoner of Azkaban doesnโ€™t it? :laughing: As always plenty of reading documents at work plus maybe I can even write a section in the school lunch newsletter. Nutritionist asked me about American BBQ and wanted some pictures. Iโ€™m heading to Nagano by car for Golden Week so wonโ€™t have as much time to read but hopefully I can still squeeze in a little reading in the evenings.
