One more blog to add to my collection. I’ve been told countless times that I have too many blogs 😛 But if each blog is in a different language, then it should be alright, no? 😀
I’m kinda proud of myself that I’ve taken the plunge to actually create a Japanese blog when my Japanese is no where near any minimal standard. I didn’t have much problems with creating the account but I was kinda lost at first. Did my research and it seems that Ameba is pretty popular with the Japanese and they had quite a lot of interesting services and functions there.
Navigating a site in a new language is a very fun thing to do. As you explore the site, you will subconsciously learn words like ‘next’, ‘confirm’, ‘login’ etc that is common in sites. And I learnt a few other new phrases too. ^^ I don’t know anyone at Ameba yet, anyone wants to be my friend? 😀 😀
MY AMEBA BLOG | AMEBA NOW (Twitter-like service)
I hope to make some new Japanese friends. But seems harder than it looks. lol. I’m pretty much self entertaining on Ameba right now ><
I don’t really know what I’ll write about there, maybe about learning Japanese?
Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with the blog even when I get busy. I’m really surprised that I managed to write here for 3 years already. It’s because I have you guys here (:
If you have been a silent reader, leave a comment! Saying Hi will do 😀 If you are studying Japanese too, let’s talk over at Ameba!
p.s. Pardon my horrible Japanese! ^^

There are also various communities there to join and there are some that is open for all that is interested in learning the korean language to join.
I love reading your post on your Japanese learning journey:) It alwaysnake me reflect on my own learning journey too:)

さっき、聞いたのはアメバもってる質問は～今思い出した～持ってるよ。もってるけど、この一年間で全然書いてないだね。。。そういえば恥ずかしいよ。。。まぁ～シャナのそんなに一生懸命の姿をみて、本当に恥ずかしい。頑張りなきゃ～
とにかく、アメバで面白いブログめっちゃ多いですね。芸能人のブログも多いですね。勉強のために、書くってう、読解ってう～いいと思う。

22 April, 2012 at 2:40 AM今まで１０年ぐらい勉強しました．でもだめだよ．ㅜ.ㅜ
So studying Japanese on and off for probably more than 10 years, I can barely take the level 3 JLPT exam. Though anime and J-dramas have helped improve my vocabulary, it’s a complete fail when it comes to reading. Especially Kanji.
I guess it’s a plus for you that you can somewhat guess the meaning of the characters and you have some kind of background in Chinese characters. I study them and since I’m not really exposed to it, I end up forgetting.
Right, I need motivation to progress in Japanese and Korean. I really wanted to take the JLPT 2 (that is the advanced level one I think) in December, but as time goes by and I barely have time to study, I guess I’ll be happy to achieve level 3. XD I think you’ve been making great progress.
Well hopefully I will be happy to take intermediate TOPIK next year. XD Guess it will be good to test my knowledge after 4 years of studies. XD

23 April, 2012 at 12:23 AMI didn’t know you studied Japanese too! Reading is probably my strongest skill; I’m horrible at listening and I doubt I can say anything at the moment. xD Right now I don’t have any plans to take JLPT, but maybe that will change when I get better at it.
TOPIK is pretty fun (:
