My husband and I moved in April 2018, and realized that we are totally unprepared for living here in terms of our level of Japanese. Time to roll up our sleeves and hit the books seriously! My goal is to be conversationally fluent by the end of the year, and eventually - pass the N2! 初めまして！サラです。去年の4月ハワイから来ました。その時、日本語は全然使わなかったから、すごく下手だった！その後、Italkiで勉強始まりました。最近、週に２回クラスあって、ラングエジエックスチェンジ３−４回あります。今年の12月にJLPTをするつもりです。だから、誰か本当に勉強したい人は会いたいです！

    Super old Japanese Cartoon

    Hi friends! :)
    I'm trying to figure out the name of a cartoon, based only on a description given to me by my boyfriend. It's quite vague, but if you can help me, I'd be super grateful!

    It's an old cartoon (he used to watch it with his grandma who was from Japan), possibly from the 90's. The main character is a boy and his friend who is a bird. Every morning his sister wakes him up for school by coming in and kicking him between the legs (?), so he and his bird come up with a plan to put a spiky thing on so she hurts her feet. But they end up putting it on the wrong way, and it hurts him even more. When the bird tries to help him by handing him something from the medicine cabinet, it turns out to be hydrogen peroxide which hurts more!

    Anyway - he used to watch it all the time with his grandma, and since she's passed, he wishes he could figure out what the cartoon was since he has fond memories of them watching it. Even though it's so ridiculous. Hahaha. If anyone knows the name of the cartoon, please let me know!

    Thank you so much!!

    When I get to that page, the only dropdown is Skype, and in the blank I just fill in my user name.

    Thanks @YoY, @Alexis and @Christine! :D I'll definitely look into all of those resources. My last day of work (woohoo!) is next Friday, so I'm pretty slow in the office until then, and from there I'll be temping on and off, so I'll have a ton of free time to really cram!

    Conversational Japanese - Where to start?

    Hi! I'm trying to learn more conversational Japanese, does anyone know of any resources I could check out? 

     

    I'm also interested in learning basic Kanji - but I'm not sure where to start and which would be the most important for getting around Japan. I'm moving there in a month! I already know numbers and a few very basic ones from my time in college (from the Genki Textbooks) but would like to know if there are specific books for getting around - I'll likely be in Tokyo. 

     

    Thank you! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Agreed, there are SO many ways to count in Japanese! When I was in high school, our teacher taught us incredibly silly songs (like: "hitotsu, futatsu, mitsu no hambagaa") to help us memorize which counters were for objects, people, days, etc.

    I agree with previous recommendations for anything from Studio Ghibli. There are also some pretty addictive dramas like Hana Yori Dango, Gokusen, and Nobuta wo Produce. :D They're all coming of age type dramas, so they're less intense.

    So many countries! I would pick Japan, since I've never been there and it's where my family is from.
