SMURRRFFFFSSS!
And I think that’s HEMAN! or He-Man? or HE-MAN! Either way, I at least recognize them.
Love the smurfs, again, a wholesome cartoon!
My favorite cartoon at the age of 5-6 was “David the Gnome”
No idea if anyone knows it, but it was my jam at that age 
I grew up on the Smurfs as well, but all I know about He-man is that he left his he-toe somewhere in my Wanikani mnemonics:)
All the more reason to use your own mnemonics! Poor he-man!
Hey, I grew up on Johnny Bravo and the Smurfs.
…Though in all honesty, the Smurfs have been around a fair bit longer than I have 
A.K.A. the most famous of the Four Non Blondes
HAHAHAHA! Well, smurfs will live in legend, other cartoons shall not!

On top of the weird rash (which I think might be due to a spider bite), the feeling has worsened. I think I might be catching a cold (I’ve had the rona, so I don’t supect that based on my symptoms). I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do much more than my reviews today, but I will read a sentence or two in something. Either way, I probably need to take a break from 
today… 
Goals: Do reviews!
That doesn’t sound like a good time… 早く良くなってね！
“I hope it isn’t that - feel better soon!” ??? 
(probably off but I get the sentiment 
)
早く - adverb form of 早い, so quickly (I wonder if 速く is better? I think using 早 conveys more of a nuance of “early” than one of “fast”)
良く - adverb form of 良い, so well
なって - imperative of なる (to become)
So just get well soon It seemed overly literal to me, but a Japanese native speaker on HiNative gave it as a translation, so I guess it checks out.
OOOOOO!
This is new to me, and I will have to check it out!
TY yamitenshi! I will soon feel better, I hope!
I wholeheartedly recommend HiNative. It’s a great place to check for natural translations, because the translations are often given by people who are fluent or even native speakers.
It’s a good place to ask (and answer) questions too!
Then I will take a break from today as well in solidarity. I’ll just count the example sentences in my Anki deck towards my daily reading 
Take it easy and get well soon 
aw thank you sleepy! I hope this might help @crmsnprincess89 progress toward our page as well!
I hope you feel better fast! That sounds awful 
I will try and knock out some よつばと. I couldn’t do any yesterday because the fatigue hit about 4pm and I was useless. Wound up playing pokemon black and doki doki literature club instead 
Self-care is super important! (as I would tell my patients 
) just do what you can!
@Beyond_Sleepy If you feel like you want to move on with , I think @crmsnprincess89 and I could stay at the same page. It just seems you are somewhat more advanced in your grammar understanding, but I know that you would be of supreme help to us along the way! If you feel like you want our pace, then we can all be happy together
I’m happy going at the pace we’ve set 
Heh, I kind of doubt that I am tho. With your Cure Dolly note taking I believe you have more explicit grammar knowledge than me at the moment (imma try to catch up tho), I’m just good at googling + applying my intuition based on context clues. Like, Yamitenshi’s long post above basically confirmed a lot of my translation choices but I could never have explained any of it in terms of the grammar (well, like you I do see ない and think negation).
Something I think helps me is having read a lot of manga in English, including Azuma Kiyohiko’s previous series Azumanga Daioh, + having watched a lot of subbed anime which gives me some vague but helpful associations to some of the colloquial forms just from having listened to a lot of spoken Japanese.
Oh, I take notes! It doesn’t mean I retain what she’s taught me
See, this is a true sign of a language learner. I heard one time that language learning is a lot like mathematics - those good at math are often good at languages! My WORST subject ever is math. Ever. In life. I can write papers like a boss, but don’t give me numbers or tests
Yes that’s why I didn’t get back to you, I was already far too embarrassed at my poor attempt at reading yesterday! But, I was happy I got one thing fairly correct @yamitenshi is THE BEST!
VERY interesting. Yes, aside from being my first manga ever (in Japanese for that matter), my only anime experience is: Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, Pokemon, Sailor Moon (some), DECADES AGO. I loved them, but I am definitely not in the groove of content that many are with this genre!
Sounds like my early days.
Just looking at the background of that girl is like looking at the stars and wondering what the heck they are!
