A complete collection

I have finally completed my set of days of the week! 

I guess it may have made sense to learn them all at once, but for whatever reason I decided to learn them slowly. I feel like I don't have to count through them all in order to figure out which is which (like I do with numbers... I can never remember the number for 8 unless I count from 1).

The last day of the week I needed to learn was kinyoobi, or Friday.

Nichiyoobi - Sunday

Getsuyoobi - Monday

Kayoobi - Tuesday

Suiyoobi - Wednesday

Mokuyoobi - Thursday

Kinyoobi - Friday

Dooyoobi - Saturday

Hooray!

My other words of today are:

naka - inside

kami - paper (like with tegami, the origami reference helps me remember this)

kookoku - advertisement

yuumei - famous, well-known

yasashii - easy (this is the one that's giving me the most trouble)

A few more words

Still slowly learning, am I. 

Watashi no okasan wa Vancouver de ikimashita. (My mom came to Vancouver.) She visited last shuumatsu (weekend) and various crazy events conspired to give me another atarashii uchi (new house). So I'm moving again, which is inconvenient and irritating, but I will be happy once it's just all over. Also, my new place is much nicer, though it's a furuii uchi (old house) - over 80 years old! 

Watashi no nihongo hanashimasu no tomodachi Katie san wa Australia de ikimashita! (My Japanese-learning friend Katie went to Australia!) She's going to be there for the next four months, so I don't really have anyone to learn with, which is definitely slowing me down. Katie san to watashi no tomodachi Amanda san mo nihongo o hanashimasu demo Amanda san wa atarashi desu. (Our friend Amanda is also studying Japanese, but she is new.... to language learning. 

I have learned a few words since my last post:

honya - bookstore

machi - town, city

mokuyoobi - Thursday (almost done my days of the week!)

imasu - (a person) is in, stays at... (I don't really understand how to use this one yet)

hitori de - alone 

ushiro - back (direction)

Time for new words!
