hey if you're planning to get some learning jp books, try to get the 'children's version.. you know how kids learns pretty fast than adults and they pretty work, even my jp teacher told me so yeh i like the ava too, its such a cute moment hehe getting captured by his hair

reading books for kids is an excellent way to learn. i read a book called 'tebukuro o kai ni'. it's a cute tale about a young fox who goes to town to buy some gloves because of the snow. recommended.

Reading a Wikipedia bio on Derek and the Dominos...

flash cards, yeah, got them for a buck or less at Target. I use them for my Hiragana exercises. It helps out quite a bit.
wow three threes, GTO, Harry Potter, and your C++, not necssarily in that order right?

I've been reading too many DROAs lately.

i tried reading harry potter to kensha no ishi(philosopher's stone) but gave up after 20 pages. it was just too difficult. although it's for kids it's not for young kids so i'll try again when i'm more proficient.

I'm going to be reading something on....about....Oroonoko..??? English hw
