Yes its pretty awesome... well the feeling is... maybe not the picture. Its also a weird feeling of where to start next, so many options and different learning material out there! So I will now attempt to lay down a bit of a loose game plan for the next few months:
Reading / Writing: Build up input in Khatzumemo
- Gather example sentences first based on simple language groups: Verbs, Adverbs, Adjective, nouns. Good starting point: www.studyjapanese.org
- Gather sentences based on particles.
- Gather sentences from comics (Primarily Death Note)
Talking: Language exchange and friends
- Attend Auspeak Language exchange meetups
- Skype
- www.mylanguageexchange.com
- Experiment with Mp3 Split and Sub2srs to create flash cards with text and sound from favourite music and movies.
Well looks like there plenty to keep me occupied considering all the tangents of interest that I will inevitably veer off into while making my through all of the above! Exciting times ahead..how to finish this post? hmmm... how about the first of many aforementioned tangents:
