:lol: It's also a mind twister, because ha can mean "wa" and "ha" and written the way it is you can't tell when each word starts or finishes.

Rofl sou desu ne!
Omg I just saw my language bar pop up again 8D .. hmm... *still has to unpack*

O.o you haven't unpacked yet?

Noo lol I fell asleep when i got home... was so tired. And I had horrible cramps this morning so I wasn't up to moving around a lot. I felt puky ... buut yeah. Then right when i felt better for long enough to calm down you logged on msn. xD sooo yeah haven't unpacked yet.

Rainbows- btw most words don't have that many meanings but that is why it is a tongue-twister; it is because there are so many it was taken advantage of to make a sentence.

._____.
/shudders and curls up in a ball

We were told of that tongue twister, along with the momo and persimmons tongue twister, in exploratory japanese.. Dx Years ago.. I have no idea how to read it.

なか-にわ に は にわ にわ に は にわ にわ とり が いる <attempting?

naka niwa niwa niwa niwa niwa niwa niwa tori ga iru

Proof niwa can mean a hellofalot of stuff... idk what order they are for making words, but that's how you say it.

o-o;
There are no particles except for the ga at the end!?

Oh there is wa and I think ni is used as a particle there too. What kaze was saying is that he wanted you to make the spaces for yourself methinks..... and like, see if you can figure out the meaning maybe in sections? xD Is that right?

XD Wanted to see if they knew how to say it out loud XD it's hard (unless you already know)

Oh goodness! Where is everyone?! D:

Hurrow IkuAki : O I have company in a few. Hows are youu??

Pretty good. :D Hadn't been on Mene in a while so I figured I'd check up on things. What's been going on here? :3

Well, haha. Honestly not much over in this thread. The people who post a lot in it have been busy. And I would have posted if I knew that kaze was the last one to post but I whenever I thought about it I was like, "Eh, I was the last one, huh?" XD but I was wrong haha. That's what I get for not checking.

私はまあまあ元気です。 ^_^ ひさしぶりね

Yeah life makes you busy. I'm sick now. Booo! I hate being sick.
Somewhere nearby our house got struck by lightning and fried our modem and ps3 and possibly the garage door opener. We got our internet back up, but not the garage yet. And we bought another ps3. Do you guys get crazy weather?

Yay I was able to read the first sentence without looking anything up. :B Even the kanji. I've actually taken a break from learning for a bit because I was getting a bit overwhelmed. I've started to learn the katakana now though.

I guess I'm the same too, since I'm sick. Why are you just so-so?

I had to look up the second one. XD But it was familiar.

I honestly don't remember why I said まあまあ instead of leaving it out. XD It might have had something to do with my dad. Or maybe I was just tired. Or something. I don't remember. XD

I'm sorry. What are you sick with?

Ohh, so you taking it at a slower pace then? Does that also mean studying it more thoroughly or is that less + slower?
Want help? ^_^

And yeah everyone keeps on saying how our weather is bipolar lol. And it is. There are plenty of instances I can think of. Like one time it was sunny and cloudy at the same time and it was really warm but the clouds were spinning really fast. It made me dizzy. o_O and I don't know what that means but it is weird.

Haha, you don't remember? XD it happens. At least it seems small enough that you don't remember it. :B Rather than it being something horrible!

I just have a cold. We got a new kitten too! But it has a cold also, so we are having to keep it locked up in our guest bathroom away from our cats until it gets better.

I'm taking it extremely slow now. A lot of the studying stuff I have uses hiragana and katakana but since I don't know all the katakana it makes it a little difficult. So I am just studying those for now. Soon, I will be getting out of the AF too, so I will have much more time to study and focus on it.

Haha, your weather sounds trippy. I think it calmed down here. Not too many crazy afternoon showers now. I can't wait until it cools down though. I hate this heat and humidity. Yuck!

ya lol that is good at least..
where are you in katakana? ^^
..Two kittens died but the other two are nursed back to health and doing well.
And ya it is pretty trippy xD also in Washington i think lol where I am going back to soon.

I'm only to the S's in katakana. Sloooow.

Oh you've got some kittens too? :D Sorry that two died though.

Washington state? Where at? I've visited Seattle a couple times and loved it. Where are you at now? O.o

My dad must think I'm crazy smart in japanese #-# He wants me to paint the kanji for 'dragon' and 'luck' on his bike, because he's been re-doing it a little... souping it up a bit so it goes about three times faster than before >_>
His logic on this:
"it's a japanese bike, you know japanese! It's gonna be fast, so I thought 'dragon'.. you know, like 'drag racing', 'drag on'? Heheh..."

I went through washington on my road trip.. I spent the night it Kennewick, but quickly left after finding that a hoarde of Jehovah's witnesses were there for a convention xD'

IkuAki- Lol (: 今オレゴンに住んでいますが、私の誕生日からワーシントンに住んでいますよ。
Oh em geee do I need to make some worksheets for you? xB

Rainbows-
Lol yeah my aunt just asked me to translate some Japanese writing on some old family photos. I wish they weren't so careless with their penmanship. xD But I can tell it says the date at least lol.
Hmmm yeah okay : P
By the way, お元気ですか。
dragon: 竜
*(Or does he mean ドラゴン?) xD
luck: 運

Edit- I wonder if you saw me there o____o" *used to be a JW and went there for conventions*

@Rainbows- Lmao! At least your dad has uber confidence in you and your skills!

@Strange- Ok.. Let me see if I'm getting this right.. You live in Washington, but you are now in Oregon for your birthday? Is that right? D:
住ん is confusing to me.. I didn't really get what it meant.
Oooh yes, worksheets! XD I have been scouring the Internet trying to find text of just Romaji so I can practice my hiragana at least.

Well, if you weren't there in June, then I didn't x'D

hai, hai, okagesamade genki desu. =P Genki deus ka?
My japanese is so rusty.. T_T I need to study my kanji during august.

IkuAki- Okay. Lol well I have lived all over Oregon and Washington all my life but for the past 5-6 years except for 4 months in Washington, I have lived in Oregon. But on my 18th birthday I am moving back to Washington to live with Kaze.
住んで is living (すんで） but you can also say 住んでいます to mean the same thing.
Hmm I can help you for sure. :D Just tell me what specifically you are looking for and I will try my best. For now maybe this will help you but I can't be sure. xD This is from my site.. I can make rollover images too so that they are like online flash cards if you want. (: A game, I'm not so sure. But a worksheet would be really simple. ^_^ The worksheets I have right now include kana and kanji and are for masu, mashita, + masen, and deshita. These links are to the lessons which have the download links right there.
But yeah, just lemme know what exactly you are looking for and I will try my best (;

Rainbows- nyaaa 元気です！　いいでしょう？
むう八月ですから、よく漢字をれんしゅうしてください！

Omgomg T_T
Now I really need to study again.. I've lost soooo much in two months..!!

(It is very hard to type romanji as opposed to writing hiragana/katakana/kanji I feel. Also, I have only been studying for a year so I apologize for my mistakes. I hope we can all talk more though!) <3
