Oops, you're right! It should be 勉強しやすい.

Thank you very much for noticing 💕💕 I really appreciate it :D

I thought I'm done with japanese, but today my polish(!) father asked me to decode this text. So:

世界 • せかい • world

人類 • じんるい • mankind

平和 • へいわ • peace

It's something like "may people of the world be peaceful", anyway it is said that it means: "May peace prevail on Earth".

Later I found out that this is a Peace Pole and there are many of them around the world :)

Hey, I was wondering if you are Japanese or have studied in Japan?

Hello ;) actually, none of these. I am from Europe and I tried to learn it by myself. Unfortunately, I decided that Spanish is more useful and now I'm learning it.. that's why this blog is dead.Japanese is really fun and interesting language, so I could get back to it one day after I learn Spanish properly :P

Try To Do / Attempt To Do || ～てみる・～ようとする Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve made an official post on my blog and not just replying to asks. I’ve been pretty busy recently and am trying to juggle a few things at once which is why I haven’t been as active. But I’m getting better at managing my time and I think I’ll be able to post more often pretty soon. So today we’re going to talk about “trying to do” or “attempting to do” something in Japanese! These are very similar phrases but they have different grammar in Japanese so we’re going to explore the both of them today. Trying To Do Something・～てみる: You have to conjugate the verb to its te-form (て) and add 「みる」. 「みる」 is usually written in hiragana so if you’ve learnt 「見る」 before try to avoid writing the kanji for this grammar sequence. e.g.  新しいカフェに行ってみる。         I’m going to try a new cafe.        しゃぶしゃぶを初めて食べてみたけど、とてもおいしかったです。         I tried eating shabu-shabu for the first time and it was really delicious. Attempting To Do Something・～ようとする: You have to conjugate the verb to its volitional form (～よう) and then add 「とする」. You can also use a number of other verbs besides 「する」 when talking about deciding on something. For example, to “decide to attempt to do” you can use 「決める」 which means “decide”. e.g.  私は宿題をしようとしましたが、難しいかったので諦めました。         I attempted to do my homework but gave up because it was hard.         毎日ジムに行こうと決めました。         I have decided to attempt going to the gym everyday. Vocabulary:

To ask・頼む・たのむ

To decide・決める・きめる

To do・する

To drink・飲む・のむ

To eat・食べる・たべる

To go・行く・いく

To open・開ける・あける

To search / Look for・探す・さがす

To stay・泊まる・とまる

To think・思う・おもう

にんじゃの 武器は 刀や しゅりけんだけじゃありません。銃も 使っていました。

にんじゃは スパイなので、マンガや 映画のように戦うことは あまり なかったみたいですね。

2016年10月10日まで、にんじゃの 展示会が 東京で 行われています。入場料が 大人 1,600円でした。

武器 (ぶき) weapon

刀 (かたな) (single-edged) sword; katana

銃 (じゅう) gun, rifle

映画 (えいが) movie

戦う (たたかう) to fight

みたい -like; sort of; similar to; resembling

展示会 (てんじかい) exhibition

行う (おこなう) to perform; to do

入場料 (にゅうじょうりょう) entrance fee

大人 (おとな) adult

Swords and shurikens aren't the only ninja weapon. They were using guns too.

Because ninja were spies, there wasn't much fighting like in manga and movies.

Until October 10th 2016 ninja's exhibition is held in Tokyo. Entrance fee was 1600 yen for adults.
