The uni life

As the summer of 2017 is coming to the end and with the new school/ academic year beginning, I thought of writing an observation post after completing the first year. A vast majority of people will probably say new year, new me (ahem, new *academic year*) while they think of some goals they want to …

UNKO Kanji- weird or not?

Never ask your friends to bring you some crazy souvenir from Japan, because THEY WILL. Well short story to be told one day I discovered an article which talked about the #1 kanji book on Amazon JP. It wouldn't be anything special if it wasn't for this one thing...  the main character of these rather …

Hailan Korean Restaurant

Most of my week is spent working and one of my two days off is usually me going somewhere. Though I still need that one day where I can just lazily sit at home.  It is nice to keep a Sunday the 'lazy' day so that you can relax before work, but this time it …

2 weeks of July

Today it's 24 degrees here, in Ireland, which makes me wonder...where did the sun come from.. Just sitting upstairs in my room is way too challenging at the moment because it feels like a sauna here.  Plus, there is nothing in the fridge which can help to fight this glaring sun.  For the past 2 weeks, …

SUMMER

It's finally summer here! Time to come back to WordPress seeing as there is much more free time now. I finished exams not awhile ago and now the boredom has taken over me. The things I have been doing for the past days is just playing video games, ahem overwatch in particular.  So now that there …

Lingbe

I haven't updated my blog in a while. It's kinda frustrating because there are a lot of things going on right now, and...  I just need to try my best. Although, today I am here not to complain but write about a newly discovered app. Lingbe! Introduced to me through a youtube ad, an app …

Manger

I was studying from my grammar book and then doing exercises after. One question got me confused, well the answer. They had 'mangeons' in the answer key which I thought was a typo because it's a -er verb. But then when I checked on word reference, it was indeed 'mangeons' since it conjugates irregularly. You always …

KOA and Malahide

Since last Tuesday I was kept quite busy. First, my relatives from Lithuania came to celebrate my cousin's grandma's birthday. Then on Friday I finally got to meet with my very good friend, Sae! Back to when I was in school, she was an exchange student here in Ireland and we met at a library …

にほんごチャレンジN4［ことば］

I think it's time to write about another book from Nihongo Challenge series. Previously, I wrote two posts about にほんごチャレンジ N4・N5［かんじ］and 新にほんご500問 N4-N5. Now it's time for ことば.  As the authors of this book claim, the book itself is intended for people who plan to take the N4 level of JLPT, those who have started studying at the …

Baguette

Today marks the end of week 5 at my university (at least for me as I do not have lectures on Fridays). I don't know if it's because I decided that 'I want' to learn French properly instead of the usual 'I must' attitude, but my French classes this week were pretty fun and enjoyable.  …
