This will be a series of posts in which I teach you how to talk like an actual person instead of feeling like you have a stick up the rear. I’ll be numbering the posts so those who follow will know if they have missed some. These are not just “slang” so to speak but more of…

Anonymous asked: Link to lesson 1?
Anonymous asked: I just found your amazing blog, and was wondering if you would be able to set lessons with homework? Sorry, I know that sounds weird but homework/work assignments would be really helpful.. xxx
Hi,
The most recent lessons that are on this blog are re-blogged from other tumblrs. I don’t contribute much of my own lessons any more, since life has gotten hectic. I’m studying, working full time, freelancing and looking for a new job.
You can check out the blogspot http://darquejapanese.blogspot.com/

Today, I’m back with more JLPT N5 vocabulary from my list. As usual, I will go through 15 words giving examples of how each can be used. I’ll try to keep the examples as immediately useful as possible. Some of the examples will casual Japanese, so without further delay…

Here we go, learners! It is I~ Back from the craziness that is LIFE. I know these updates are getting slower and slower and I apologize for that. You know how it is. I won’t you too much with the details seeing as how I already talked about this is yesterday’s post. Today, we will be going over more school-related subjects, as well as going over some more hiragana. I hope you enjoy the lesson!
And I really apologise for not uploading my own lessons. I’m finally on holidays (yay for forced leave) mid-december, so I’ll try to add some new lessons up.
Also, thankyou to everyone who helped me decide on a present for my teacher. I only have like 3 classes left (one tonight, and two next week) before she goes home!
Anyway, thanks again everyone!
