Sooo three days ago my Japanese crush was pretty straight-forward. They asked me if I liked them.
I answered that I did, and my crush said he was very happy to hear that, and that it was mutual. :two_hearts:

We talked for a few hours by text message that day, and that was it. They didn‘t ask to date me, which was a relief because even though I like them, NO THANKS I already have two long-distance lovers (and there are several other major reasons) :laughing:

But like, is it normal for a Japanese person to be so straight-forward? :flushed: My crush is usually a very sweet, shy, caring person. But they showered me with compliments, asked for pictures of me, audio messages etc. It was totally unlike him.

Today I downloaded Tandem to look for a Japanese language partner, and I got very lucky. I found a very nice Japanese lady that lives in the same city than me! :rainbow:

I am still focusing on vocabulary and writing kanji.
When I often come across a word, I add it on Bunpro.
These days, I mix up kanji very often when using Ringo-Tan. :face_with_spiral_eyes: I guess I will have to consolidate the kanji I already know before learning new ones.

Thank you for mentioning Tandem, I didn’t know this app, and I downloaded it to fing a linguistic partner ! I’ve got several leads so far ^^

I don’t know about that, japanese or not, every person is unique, I think. Maybe when they saw their interest was reciprocical, they became less shy ?

Just so you know, lots of men use this app to try to hook up with a female foreigner
Apart from that, I really like this app! :rainbow:
The feature to correct or comment a sentence is very handy

While I do agree with you, the dating culture over there seems very different. I hope we will avoid major misunderstandings thanks to honest communication

It’s good to know, maybe I understand better now why the first person to talk to me was a man of my age :sweat_smile:
I’ve mainly sent messages to women so I hope it’ll be all right.

Yeah lots of women write down “NO ROMANCE” in their bio :sweat_smile:

But my female japanese partners are very nice!

Especially one that seems very ADHDy, she was SO excited when I told her I just listened to the japanese band she recommended in her bio

かわいいね :two_hearts:

And I also had a great convo with a Japanese lady that lives in the same city than me! What are the chances? :exploding_head:

I finally finished my first manga, スーと鯛ちゃん :smiling_face:

I feel very happy about this little milestone.
Overall it was a very cute story and I learnt a lot of very basic and useful vocabulary like 遊ぶ or まずい

I don’t think I will read the next volume tho.
I think I will try to read a manga a little bit harder.
I have my eyes set on 黒
The art is very beautiful and the story seems cute but a little dark. Just my flavor :smiley:

  • Ringo-Tan: finally got to level 15

Once I finish level 16, I will get back to studying new lessons on WK again. This way, I will be able to learn at the same time the kanji on WK and Ringo-tan

  • Bunpro : I added lots of useful vocabulary I came across during my tandem convos or while reading manga

  • Genki 1 :I will try to finish chapter 8 today, I’m 90% done with it already

EDIT : I did it :rainbow:

I have started studying Genki’s chapter 9, so I am FINALLY studying unformal past verbal forms T.T

Since I see it A LOT on the manga I’ve been reading lately, I already have a good grasp of it.
So hopefully I will be quick to finish this chapter :smiley:

Ringo-Tan : I will level up tomorrow :muscle:

I am having lots of fun with the manga of the BBC, and the other “members” are very nice and helpful

Very cute queer manga with great art ! :rainbow:

This afternoon I will go to a coffee shop to chat in Japanese with the teacher of the first association, マリア先生 (not her true name).
We haven’t decided on a place to meet, just the area, so I will try to look it up right now :sweat_smile:

And tomorrow at 7:30pm, I have my japanese class with まりこ先生 (again, not her true name).
I have memorized most of the vocabulary of the text the class was studying, so hopefully it will be easier than during my first class with her :smiley:

Hello there! Thanks for asking about me and enjoying my posts <3

I fell sick during two weeks. I’m all good now, but it was so bad I couldn’t to my daily reviews nor could I go to my weekly Japanese class.
And when I got better, I had to prioritize catching up on my web development course.
Obviously, my japanese reviews kept piling up, I had +900 on WK and probably thousands of reviews on Bunpro (I’m too afraid to check tbh).

But I am slowly catching up, it’s been 3 days and “only” 600 reviews remain on WK. Then I think I will do my Ringo-Tan reviews.
I thought I would have forgotten loooots of kanji and vocab after a month-long break, but my accuracy score is 85% (around 92-95% usually), so it’s not that bad!
