ltgmarsI started a foreign-language journal. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
motocompo, named after the type of motorbike that Natsumi rides in You're Under Arrest! (I also paid for it because I forgot that the ads make me cry.) I'll primarily be posting in Japanese, with some Spanish (and next year some Chinese) thrown in. So if you have any foreign-language journals, let me know and I'll happily friend you, even if I don't understand the language. It'll be a collective of amazing non-English.
I have to finish a website that's been several months in the making. Tonight. As well as catch up on some Japanese studying that I'm behind on, and another website that should have been finished months ago, and some Flash videos (Flash? Do I know how to do that yet?) that are due Friday. It's summer but I'm school-year busy.
Most of the studying is going toward the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (which in Japanese is just called the "ability test"). Harrison and I decided to go for L3, and while it isn't whoa-impressive, that we took the test and (hopefully) passed it at all will look good on our resumes. (Of course, that's not why we're doing it. We're doing it for the love of Japanese. Really.) We met with our Japanese professor, who highly suggested that we watch a lot of Japanese dramas to practice listening to real people talk in Japanese. XD So any drama suggestions? I'm sure I've asked this before, but this time I'll really make sure I watch things you suggest... it's teacher-prescribed and everything.
Real update (like, about my life and stuff) soon. Maybe.

Date: 2008-06-11 10:26 (UTC)Look up DDboys and you'll find a lot of random stuff like Princess princess D, Delicious Gakuin, Oujisama o tsukurikatta (not the best but they are all good fun). It's been a while since I watched anything new -__-
Good luck studying for L3. I'm thinking of going for L4 this year I'f I improve my Japanese by August I'll go for L3 again.

Date: 2008-06-11 11:59 (UTC)I watched some episodes of Nodame with my boyfriend's hall this past year. It's one of the most cartoony dramas I've seen. (We also watched a few episode of Tokyo Tower, and we all cried, like, every episode...)

Date: 2008-06-11 22:03 (UTC)As for dramas, I enjoyed the drama Liar Game (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/LIAR_GAME). Kurosagi (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kurosagi) was fairly entertaining as well. All of the costumes were pretty funny. I've only heard good things about Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Sekai_no_Chuushin_de,_Ai_wo_Sakebu) in addition to the already mentioned Nodame and Zettai Kareshi.
Anyway, good luck with that exam! =]
