October 29, 201771 - What helps you retain what you learn? I have been having an extremely difficult time learning hiragana. I thought maybe watching videos for kids would help, but so far hasn't. So I literally sat down today and wrote out all the words and expressions I know, and cross checked everything with an English to Japanese dictionary, and with friends, and I wrote down every character and made every sound. I feel like it's helping. What tips or tricks do you use?
Example:
Ko n ni chi ha
こんにちは
October 29, 201750 - It's a shame they had to leave the party so early; I miss talking to them! Isn't it crazy/nuts/insane that Diane has five kids? Where does she find the time? Did you hear Tom passed away? How awful! He had been cancer free for three years. I'm really ticked off at Susan- she took my parking spot AGAIN! Ever since the break up, Dave has been so weird/awkward around me.0 votedOctober 27, 20170

October 27, 201711 - It's a way of boasting or bragging or showing off. If you do something difficult you can say it. For example, if someone is trying to impress his friends, he might say:
"You know, I once killed a bear with only a knife."
His friends might express disbelief. "No way! You killed bear with just a knife? Weren't you scared? I know I would be!"
"Yeah, well, it was nothing I couldn't handle," he might say, smugly.
Another way to use it is to compliment someone. If your boss gave you three big stacks of paper work and you managed to finsh them, she might say: "good work today. I knew the extra work was nothing you couldn't handle."

Would you mind correcting my essay? If you were me, how would
you go about writing it?
Which part should I describe with details? I hope my explanations are clear. I hope you can understand them.
(Part Two)
After eating a breakfast, I dropped stopped at an information desk of at Nagasaki Station to get a one day pass of for the cable cars, which was 500 yen. (about six Singapore dollars.)
There are cable cars in Nagasaki. It They is are historical and classic. I like that! It's a convenient means of transportation. It was a my second time riding of cable cars them; the first riding was in Hiroshima.
Afterward, I went to The Urakami Cathedral, which is a famous and historical church. Most of the buildings were damaged by an atomic bomb in the past. Nowadays, they have been renovated restored. However I saw several status which weren't fixed. They looked so sad. (I suggest using a stronger word here. Maybe 'pitiful'?)0 votedOctober 25, 20170
