にほんご (Week に)

こんばんは！ﾋﾟｶﾘづです。いちねんせえです。せんこうはにほんごとしゃかいがくです。わたしはあめりかじんです。どおぞよろしく。

Wow, my second blog in and any stranger looking at it would think I'm proficient at Japanese! Not so much...but I must admit I'm pretty excited to know how to type ひらがな on my laptop! After two weeks I've memorized the entire ひらがな alphabet and a few basic phrases such as こにちは and　しつれえします。I have the most trouble pronouncing Japanese r's-they sound like "r","l", and "d" all at once! Hopefully with time I'll get the hang of it and be a pro.
And now for my list of Japanese favorites...

1. Food: Pocky!

I discovered these a few years ago from a Japanese foreign exchange student and have had a love affair ever since. I love both but the strawberry flavor is definitely my favorite of the two.

2. Person: Shigeru Miyamoto　宮本茂

He probably doesn't carry a sword on himself all the time but he's still really impressive. He's the mastermind behind Mario, The Legend of Zelda series, Pikmin, and so much more. Without his brilliant ideas leading the way, Nintendo wouldn't be so...well, amazing.

3. Cutest Creatures Ever: Pokemon!

The show/cards/video games were my childhood. I admit that, in college, I may have brought a few stuffed Pokemon and games with me...some habits never die.

I love my Elekid :)

じゃ、また!
