Happy Lunar New Year!! 🧧🧧🧧

Little things my family always did:

- Eat noodles for good health and longevity

- Don’t clean; you will sweep away all the luck for the year

- Wear red!

Unfortunately new year’s eve was yesterday and I’d barely gotten back from the con, so I didn’t do much cleaning then… but allowing myself some rest today, and especially for my fellow Charmed attendees.

Im learning japanese rn and one thing I've noticed is that my voice when I speak japanese is A LOT quieter than when Im speaking English because if i speak loud I notice the words dont sound as clear- This language is forcing me to be quitter- which is honestly a good thing I talk way to loud😭

Ah, I hope I can help! ٩(,,•ω•,,)و⚑⁎∗ﾌﾚﾌﾚ

For me, learning how to pronounce certain words was pretty big, and the best way I did that was plenty of research combined with just casually listening. Whispering is a start, but you might develop habits that aren't so correct (just noting down what I saw in myself - particularly in pronouncing my "r/l's").

For starters, I used Buusu to begin learning pronunciation (before it was put behind a paywall :⁠-⁠\), but there are plenty other things available!

One of the biggest ones is japanesepod101, as they have many YouTube videos going over basically everything you need to know:

This channel's also really good as well ୧꒰*´꒳`*꒱૭✧

Alongside videos like these, you can also develop good pronunciation habits just by listening to anime (although not always the best example sometimes) and music! That's how babies learn to speak anyway, just by listening and piecing things together (๑>ᴗ<๑)

Other examples include podcasts, radio, Japanese YouTube channels (many have subtitles!), advertisements with VPN, and more (๑ˊ͈ ꇴ ˋ͈)

I think it's very important to note that pronunciation is very important in Japanese. Depending on the word, you can change the whole meaning of something just by giving it the wrong pitch.

Example: In English, you can change the message of a sentence by stressing a word like so,

This isn't my cat.

Turns into:

This isn't my cat.

Insinuating that the cat isn't yours, but is someone else's.

Japanese is sort of like that. Words can change meaning based on where you put your high and low pitches, so that's why speaking clearly when practicing is best to start off with.

Here's what I'm trying to explain since you can't hear through text:

But before you worry about all that, just having the basics down is best (๑´ㅂ`๑)

I'm sure you might know most of this already, and if you did then I'm sorry for wasting your time! I do hope some of this might've been useful though(;´∀`)

I tend to get my practice through talking to myself throughout the day ("yabbai!" if I mess something up, "mendokusai.." if I'm upset, etcetera etcetera). I also talk to my pets as well in Japanese to practice, seeing as they don't mind (៸៸᳐⦁⩊⦁៸៸᳐ )੭ﾞ

Wishing you all the best with your learning! I'm happy you came to me, and if you ever have any other questions I promise to answer them the best I can! (*´∀｀)ノ

I hope you have a lovely day!

M has this lil’ odd running joke with a few of our clients where he’d ask them if they dreamed about him in the previous night, which is a scoff and eye roll moment for me whenever he’s like that, but today when I came to shift earlier and got to be with him on the way to day program, after he asked them, he made that joke question to me asking did I dream about him last night and I was just, nah… and he laughed badly, not knowing this is a common thing. 🙄🙄🙄

[yourheartinyourmouth]

thank you for telling us this op~

a friendly reminder from your local korean blogger that “lunar new year” is inclusive of the many cultures who celebrate, and “chinese new year” should be used only if you’re referring to specifically chinese cultural practices of the new year. thank you!!!

there's noting in the rules that says a student can't wear the school track suit rather than the uniform. So what Kikunosuke is wearing isn't breaking the rules

i hate how people are talking about kiuchi. just laughing about him and all. as if the game doesn't basically make a point of making him a lite version of kamoshida. he did push a girl strong enough for her to fly over a barrier and onto the tracks of a train. but sure keep laughing as if his actions could not cause serious harm.
