A day in the life of me.

おはよう。 まいあさ ぼくは じゅきょうが あります。 まいあさ コーヒーを のみません。 まいあさ テリビを みません。 りょうで べんきょうします。
I don't really have all the vocabulary yet to say more about my daily routine, and my days are anything but routine. Hope everyone is doing has been doing well in Japanese class so far!

Introduction in ひらがな

おはよう。 ぼくは「Felix」です。 あめりかじんです。 にねんせいです。 せんこうはしんがく。
My favorite Japanese person is Hideo Kojima. He is the creator of several video game series, most prominently, the Metal Gear Solid series. The video game series is my favorite series and is the game that I spend the most time playing. He and his series is the reason that most of my summer was spent playing games rather than doing something productive. Enclosed is a cutscene from the game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Sorry if this has bored you, but if you do choose to watch it, enjoy!

こんばんわ

Sorry everyone for the late post. Been a little behind, but things have been picking up. Anyways, I am really excited to learn Japanese. I am excited experiencing things from the Japanese culture and learning the language is the first step to being able to one day, travel to Japan and a get a true feel of what the culture is all about.
Like some students, my favorite aspect of the culture is the anime/manga aspect of it. Shows such as Yu Yu Hakusho has always made me like the Japanese cartoons, rather than the cheap American animation. Even the video games out of Japan are so much better than the American games. Games such as Metal Gear Solid and Marvel vs. Capcom has made Japanese games a blast to play.
As far as the class goes, I am a little worried about learning Japanese. I have not had much success learning Spanish in high school, but I have also not had the passion for learning the language as I do with Japanese. Maybe that was all the problem was, as I hope to excel in this class. Hope everyone has a great semester! じゃあ、また。
