Happy Valentines Day ❤💕 (at Roppongi)
Fuck motivation. It’s a fickle and unreliable little state that isn’t worth your time. Better to cultivate discipline than to rely on motivation. Force yourself to do things, to get out of bed, to go the gym, to work harder and smarter; force yourself to do stuff when you don’t feel like doing anything. Motivation is fleeting, and it’s easy to rely on because it requires no concentrated effort to get. Motivation comes to you, you don’t even have to chase after it. Discipline is reliable; motivation is momentary. The real question isn’t how to keep yourself motivated, it’s how to train yourself to work without it.
(via nomethodjustmadness)
it’s so weirdly common to be rude to people who need subtitles or want subtitles as if it’s some kind of nuisance to have subtitles, but honestly? normalize having subtitles on everything. overall it can help people with language barriers who can read better than they can listen to a language, it helps people with comprehension issues, it helps people who have trouble hearing, it helps in general so whatever you’re watching isn’t interrupted by someone asking what someone just said, just put subtitles on! what the hell!
My brother isn’t hard of hearing, but he used to watch everything with subtitles when he was a kid. I think it helped him to concentrate on what he was watching as he’s more visual than auditory. I used to think it was strange, but now that I’m older, I do it too. I use them to help me catch dialogue that might be too quiet or quick, so there are all sorts of reasons to use subs. Really shouldn’t be a big deal at all. -V
My dad is hard of hearing, so I grew up watching everything with subtitles. I still watch stuff with the subtitles on (except YouTube videos because those captions aren’t close to being accurate). It’s too weird for me to watch a movie without them.
So fun fact about Japan: most of the news programs and a lot of other programs on “public” TV (that aren’t dramas or anime) have basic (not exact) subtitles for speech or narration. NHK is my favorite one for this, because my reading comprehension in Japanese is so much better than my listening comprehension, and seeing them both at once is extremely helpful in training my brain for associating the sounds with the kanji/kana. And it seems to be pretty normal for most news or educational programming, at least in my experience, and I guess it’s to make them more accessible and clear up any confusion when the thousands of homophones in Japanese are a thing.
Some examples:
Fun Learning Japanese: Sailor Moon!
Today we’re going to learn vocabularies from famous classic anime, Sailor Moon!!
The Japanese title of this anime is 美少女戦士 - セーラームーン Bishoujo Senshi - Seera Muun Pretty Soldier - Sailor Moon
The meaning of the title is self-explanatory~ Bishoujo is pretty girl, while Senshi is soldier.
Did you know that there are interesting things we can learn from these pretty girls name? Let’s start!
Each girl’s name correspond to the element they hold which comes from the planet they represent~ 月 tsuki: moon
愛 ai: love - Planet Venus is believed as a planet with that represent love~
水 mizu: water - Planet Mercury is 水星 (suisei - water star)
火 hi: fire - Planet Mars is 火星 (kasei - fire star)
木 ki: tree/wood - Planet Jupiter is 木星 (mokusei - tree/wood star)
…………………………………………
Their name could be a play of words too~ Since ‘no’ is basically a particle to help describe another noun.
Tsuki no Usagi: Rabbit of the Moon Ai no Minako: Beautiful Child of Love Mizu no Ami: Ami of The Water Hi no Rei: Spirit of The fire Ki no Makoto: Integrity of A Tree
We hope you learn a lot! Happy Learning! ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
And heres a cute pajamas as a bonus! Isn’t it soo cute? (and fluffieeeh!! XD)
Hello everyone! this is my very first (important) post and i’d like to say in advance that you have probably heard about some of these and that they may seem lame idk but well, these are some things i have done to improve my language learning skills, i hope this helps! (if it does please let me know, it’d make me the happiest human alive ok)
Keep a notebook exclusively for your target language. If you work on a notebook that’s supposed to be for chemistry or literature you’ll certainly find yourself distracted. Get a cute notebook that makes you feel inspired or decorate an empty one you already have! I use a binder that i got at walmart and it has this really cool pop-art cover, i love it so much!
Get your own study place. A lot of us dream of a beautiful white desk in front of a window with amazing lighting but not all of us can get that, can we? (but don’t feel discouraged!) your bed? your dinning table? under a tree? your bathroom floor? anywhere can be a perfect study spot if you want it bad enough (as long as it’s safe and comfortable then you’ll be fine). Personally, i find it great to study in my dinning table because i can spread all of my stuff there and be as messy as i want. (oops)
Listen to music, watch videos, movies and read in your target language. Okay so, short story time: i am mexican and as you guys may or may not know we have quite an accent when it comes to english so, naturally, i was expected by americans to speak like that BUT i actually surprise ‘em all then i speak because my english doesn’t sound like that at all and the reason of that is me spending most of my time listening to music in english, watching all my tv shows in english and my having favorite youtubers be, in fact, native english speakers so all of that has accustomed my hearing to how all of those people sound and i just repeat their pronunciation. Also, reading in my target language has helped me improve my vocabulary A LOT by translating and googling things that i don’t know or understand. Keep in mind that you don’t have to read The count of Montecristo in whatever language you desire to learn, reading those love quotes/poetry thingys on tumblr will help you a lot until you’re ready to grab a book!
Disclaimer: i’m in no way saying that accents are a bad thing or something to be ashamed of but don’t we all just want to sound like natives?
Google everything. Allowing google to become my best friend is probably what has helped me the most. I mean, you could listen to every italian artist out there but it won’t help that much unless you actually get what the songs are about. You don’t need to write down the newly acquired information you get like 20 times, just read it like three times or until you understand it and move on, next time you see that word you’ll already be familiar with it and if you still don’t know the meaning, google it again! it’ll literally only take you about a minute or so and it’s all for your sake.
Resources. Resources. Resources. Even if you’re learning at a special your-target-language school, finding vocab sheets, verbs lists or just masterposts on your taget language (and actually reading them) you’ll see how great they are and how much they can help you improve and the best part? swear words that you won’t learn at school!!!!! jk the best part is that they’re free and all over tumblr. Just make sure you give their autor proper credit by reblogging and/or liking and you’re ready to go.
Spend at least half an hour studying everyday. A lot of people say that you should study for 10-20 mins but honestly, for me, that’s a really short amount of time but if you feel like it’s hard to stay focused for that long then start with 10 then 20 then half an hour and so on. Personally, i study for about 2 hours (including breaks, singing on-top-of-my-lungs sessions, snacks, etc) so it’s really not 2 boring hours of me sitting there copying vocabulary on my notebook.
Love what you do! I could write down a thousand tips for you but if you don’t feel passionate or at least slightly interested then it’ll never work out!
Last but not least, good luck to everyone trying to learn a language. Trust me, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride but it’ll be totally worth it! Don’t let people bring you down and be patient. Gros bisous a tous!
Colours (Colors) - 色(いろ)

1)’い’Adjectives are used as follows: 赤い車/Akai kuruma/Red car 青い車/Aoi kuruma/ Blue car 白い車/Shiroi kuruma / White car 黒い車/Kuroi kuruma/ Black car (To form a noun, simply remove the 'i’. E.g. Akai, becomes Aka)
2)’の’Adjectives are used as follows: 紫の傘/Murasaki no kasa / Purple umbrella. 緑の傘/Midori no kasa / Green umbrella. Or add 'いろ’ onto the end of both 'midori’ and 'murasaki’ to form ____いろ の かさ. 橙色の傘/Daidaiiro no kasa / Orange umbrella. 桃色の傘/Momoiro no kasa / Pink umbrella.
3)The following can appear as either a 'い’ or 'の’ adjective. 黄色(い/の)ペン/Kiiro-i/no pen / Yellow pen. 茶色(い/の)ペン/Chairo-i/no pen / Brown pen.

Is there any way to distinguish when to use wa and ga in a sentence?
how to use は and が in a sentence?
Glad you asked! Difference between は and が is one of the famous questions when learning Japanese.
Note that you don’t need to be overstressed about this topic.
In learning language, perfection of grammar is not something that we’re trying to achieve, but rather in comprehension. In fact, natives likes to break many grammar rules.
But anyway here’s a few important point you must know about the usage.°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
…………………………………………..
1. One point for sure, は is used to established a topic !
There’s a rules about topic though.
Without this characteristic below, you cannot use は to mark it as a topic:
- topic must be a proper noun / a generic noun / a name
- topic must be something a speaker & hearer can see / hear / touch / smell / taste / or understand about
- topic can be something that have been mentioned / introduced previously (therefore the speaker & hearer understand about)
…………………………………………..
When introducing something that is not within the above characteristic, we can use が. For example:むかしむかしひとりのおじさんがすんでいました。Mukashimukashi, hitori no oji-san ga sunde imashita. A long time ago, there lived an old man.
-> introducing a character in a story, the old man. The hearer doesn’t know and cannot perceive the character with any sense, therefore it cannot be a topic yet.おじさんはとてもびんぼうでした。Ojisan wa totemo binboudeshitaThe old man was very poor. -> the old man is now the topic of sentence, therefore mark as は
…………………………………………..
2. You cannot use は with questions words such as どれ, どちら, なに, etc!
The reason is because a questions words cannot be a topic. It make sense right ;) You mark a questions words with が.
なにがほしいですかNani ga hoshii desukaWhat is it that you want?
…………………………………………..
3. が to connect contrasting sentence
It works like “but”. For example:
すずき は きました が たなか は きませんでした.Suzuki wa kimashita ga Tanaka wa kimasendeshita. Suzuki came but Tanaka did not (come).
Japanese likes to be polite, so sometimes if they don’t want to tell the contrasting sentence , they stop at が. For example, let’s say that Suzuki and Tanaka promised to come, and obviously only Suzuki shows up. When someone asked about it, the speaker might say…
すずき は きました が …Suzuki wa kimashita ga …Suzuki came, but …
Hope it helps! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Japanese has another unique characteristic of grammar that makes it different than English. To read about it in detailed, check out https://crunchynihongo.com/2016/04/01/grammar-intro/
単語 - Vocabulary: Parts of the Body
So trying to figure out other lists to make and I figured making lists based off of the words we learn early on in childhood and then work up from there? I’m going to go ahead and assume most of you have already learned your numbers and just go straight to objects. Or in this case, body parts.
体 (からだ) - body
腕 (うで) - arm
肘 (ひじ) - elbow
手 (て) - hand
指 (ゆび) - finger/toe
足 (あし) - leg/foot
膝 (ひざ) - knee
頭 (あたま) - head
髪 (かみ) - hair
顔 (かお) - face
額 (ひたい) - forehead
目 (め) - eye
鼻 (はな) - nose
耳 (みみ) - ear
口 (くち) - mouth
舌 (した) - tongue
歯 (は) - tooth
首 (くび) - neck
喉 (のど) - throat
胸 (むね) - chest
背中 (せなか) - back
腰 (こし) - lower back
肩 (かた) - shoulder
お腹 (おなか) - stomach
Again, just keeping these fairly simple to begin with before adding even more. But I think this is a good start.
