About Me

Ive always had an interest in languages but being a Texas native the options were bad English & Spanish, neither excited me until I found anime, the gateway drug. Now I want to be fluent in Japanese.

I hope u receive an email about this, I just wanted to add u on facebook, I finally decided to have a account xD, just look for "Mouhamed Lô", See u soon ;)
Saiya
Saiya April 7, 2013, 6:00 am

heya, i actually had forgotten my password for jcjp but after getting the email that said you had sent me a message I just kept trying to log in until it worked :O).
Saiya
Saiya April 7, 2013, 6:29 am

I think I found you on facebook... hope its you. There were actually a few with that name but since you are from Senegal I think I got the right one.
Medyrius
Medyrius April 7, 2013, 7:03 am

Haha I wonder if u got the right one, I didn't receive any friend request from u, reminds me I had a hard time looking for u there xD they kept showing me result of pages about Dragon Ball Saiyans xD
Saiya
Saiya April 7, 2013, 8:27 am

So there is actually a lot of Mouhamed Lo profiles and most seem to be from senegal. Facebook isn't the easiest to find people on.

I need help.... how would you write ZI in Katakana... for example I am trying to write baked ziti. How would i write the zi part of ziti?
Shizuru
Shizuru January 29, 2013, 6:12 am

Pretty sure it's the same as Ji being ジ.
Saiya
Saiya January 29, 2013, 6:57 am

rly but that would sound like jiti or maybe that is right... sigh
Medyrius
Medyrius January 29, 2013, 7:25 am

Just checked my old hira/kata lessons but I haven't found any zi sound... There's just Ji(じ/ジ).

Arigatou, genki desu! It has been a long time since I have been in school and it started a few weeks ago. A lot of things like study methods Im having to relearn. I hope once I get the hang of it Ill be able to lvl up my JCJP.
Medyrius

Yo, hisashiburi! ^^
I'd decided to take a break from JCJP for a while... Haven't been around for weeks ^^
How are u and how's class going?

This is "Hiken no Ace", a very cool martyred persona from One Piece...

BTW, I started watching Ao no exorcist and it's awsomely cool, exactly the kind of anime I love ^^, reminds me that I'm still waiting for the rest of your anime list, hope u didn't forget :p
Saiya
Saiya November 5, 2012, 1:00 am

oh shoot i did forget lol, its been a crazy few months lol. Ill compile it soon. Have you seen Sword Art Online... if youve ever played an MMO its the best anime ever /giggle
Medyrius
Medyrius November 5, 2012, 10:14 pm

I'll give it a shot, thx for the info ;)
Hey, about the Sandy stuff, I do hope u've been spared... How was it?
Medyrius
Medyrius November 6, 2012, 1:11 am

I just watched Episode 1 and it's just WOW! I love it!! It reminds me of Hunter X Hunter but this one is way more similar to a classic MMO...

I hope we can play like that someday (2022 maybe), but with no risk of dying of course ^^
Saiya
Saiya November 6, 2012, 1:16 am

/giggle yeah that would be cool, but I am always a magic user, either a priest or mage style character.. I dont do melee /giggle thats what a meat shield is for HAHA. Im actually on the other side of the country, Washington State so I didnt have any trouble. Thank you for being concerned.
Medyrius
Medyrius November 6, 2012, 8:05 pm

Yakatta na! ^^
Tokoro de, who are u going to vote for?

Yea, it's a pity that magic isn't included...
It was so funny when the game showed their real appearances and half of the cute girls turned out to be guys actually LOL!
Saiya
Saiya November 6, 2012, 9:34 pm

Oh I know it was so funny, the one guy looked over and the hot girl was a skinny nerd and he says "you said you were a girl!" and the skinny nerd looks at him and says "you said you were 17!" LOL too funny. I actually think Kirito looks better as his natural self rather than his avatar.

As for politics I voted for Obama... the alternative of course is pretty scary... would send us back to the 1950's and Im not looking forward to that. I hope the American people choose correctly tomorrow but I have little faith in the people of this country...every year Americans get fatter and dumber /sigh
Medyrius
Medyrius November 7, 2012, 9:35 am

Fatter and dumber LOL!
Well I hope so too, I'd vote Obama cuz I like him, I've like politics much anyway, even my own country :D

Soreyori, how's japanese course going, do you feel like u're making some real progress lately?

LOL yeah thankfully... I slept incredibly well. I was at the gym when they announced it and couldnt help but cheer out loud /giggle.
Medyrius
Medyrius November 8, 2012, 3:27 am

The baseball(or was it baskerball?) team curse's been broken then ^^
Besides, 2012's been a year of falling presidents but Obama stays in the "Baraque"!
(Word play : Baraque mean House in french LOL)

U're right about Kirito, he really looks better than his avatar...
I wonder if SAO's going to be a long run anime... I wish it could last a little, there's 100 floors after all... Do u have some info about that?
Saiya
Saiya November 8, 2012, 3:32 am

Medyrius

That's right, I was just kidding u know, I'm too lazzy to google that kind of info ^^
But they'd better make it last a little, I think there's much room for adventure in the anime...
Saiya
Saiya November 12, 2012, 10:05 am

Its a great show I just watched ep 19 of Sword Art Online. Its getting a bit more... chick flick... but I still love it!
Medyrius
Medyrius November 23, 2012, 2:20 am

Yo! ^^
I think I finally understood what u meant by "MORE Chick Flick" lol
But I don't mind it at all, I watch 5 animes at the same time (One ep a day) so it's perfect having one with some romantic content...

Is she a nihonjin?

Epic fail today, been feeling a lil overwhelmed trying to work full time and learn Japanese but there was this hot guy at the gym and he came over and was talking to me and I told him I was trying to learn Nihongo and tried to say one simple phrase and stumbled all over it like an idiot. Will I ever get to a point where I can have a simple conversation?

zeto August 17, 2012, 3:06 pm

Medyrius

Don't be hard on yourself for that ;)
Speaking is not so easy when you don't have enough practice...

Are you learning some grammar by the way?
diarahan
diarahan August 18, 2012, 3:00 am

Haha well it's not like you said you were an expert, so I think you're okay! Speaking it isn't that easy anyway.
Saiya
Saiya August 18, 2012, 4:03 am

lol Zeto has an overactive ego I think /giggle. Yeah, Im learning grammar as much as I can, I am taking that Japanese class starting next month at the local university so I hope it will get better. Id like to study in Japan at some point but I should rly just start with how to have a basic conversation where i dont sound like a blabbering idiot. /grin
shairn
shairn August 18, 2012, 7:49 am

I suggest getting into reading. Books and manga aimed at a younger audience use furigana, which is displaying the readings of the various kanji next to them. This way you can concentrate on getting used to syntax.
Hyperiant
Hyperiant August 18, 2012, 5:30 pm

Get to know some fluent Japanese speakers. Find a website that does language exchange (like Lang-8) and friend some people on Skype. Force yourself to talk to them so your brain makes the connections necessary to speak fluently. You can only learn so much Japanese by reading alone.
Saiya
Saiya August 19, 2012, 3:23 am

I dont trust those types of sites Hyperiant. I tired one and ended up getting nasty mail from middle aged men looking for more than language exchange.
shairn
shairn August 19, 2012, 3:37 am

That is a bit troubling. Maybe you should have a cover up profile? :P

LOL! You traduction is so funny :p
Actually I was telling zeto to give you a break, he seems to enjoy fooling around with you ^^

I used a manly variation of the common expression "Kanben shite (kudasai/kure)" meaning "Gimme a break", it's used kind of often in animes ;)
Saiya

Medyrius
Medyrius August 6, 2012, 12:46 am

Jisho.org : 彩夜 - さいや - Saiya
Female given name or forename.
It's a very nice name to have ;), poetic! ^^
Saiya
Saiya August 6, 2012, 2:22 am

thank you I am thinking about changing my real name to Saiya. I really like it and have always disliked my real name. Im so glad you like it as well.
Medyrius
Medyrius August 6, 2012, 3:51 am

I can't imagine your real name being that bad? what is it? unless it's a secret :p
Saiya
Saiya August 6, 2012, 7:21 am

Amy
Medyrius
Medyrius August 6, 2012, 8:31 am

Yahari, it's actually a pretty nice name you know... ^^
There's the name Ami in my country, sometimes it's written Amy, like yours, but it's pronounced like in french. It's actually a contraction of a longer name : Aminata or Amin'ta.
Never heard anyone complain about it though :p
It's a meaningful name for me cuz the former queen of my heart had it... :)
Maa, if you're going to change for Saiya, that'd be a nice name that you like and that's kanji-writable, which is kind of cool!^^
It may not be a bad idea ;)
Saiya
Saiya August 6, 2012, 8:43 am

Thanks, my name means 'Beloved'. Since I never felt loved at all its sort of a slap in the face. I never liked the sound of it especially with southern US accents it sounds like someone gagging at me. I am sry to hear about the former 'Queen of Your Heart' I meant no disrespect. A lot of ppl tell me they like my real name but it shouldnt matter how they feel about it cause they arent the ones walking around with it everyday lol. Thanks for the chat, its always great to get your input.

Medyrius
Medyrius August 6, 2012, 11:49 am

Yea! I'm a fan of Ichigo's dark side but the mask doesn't suit me very well ^^
I hope this pic is ok for you :P

It's a good idea starting watching beach again, I'm sure you won't regret it ;)
Saiya
Saiya August 6, 2012, 1:48 pm

Medyrius
Medyrius August 7, 2012, 5:58 am

Funny thing is I haven't watched Afro samurai yet ^^
But I'm a good boy you know, just acting tough most of the time ^^
Saiya
Saiya August 7, 2012, 8:37 am

lol oh rly? Thats funny! Well I watched the first two episodes of Afro Samurai and it was rough and violent. It might have gotten more friendly as it went but it was a bit too much for me. I like more of the girly stuff. Nurarhyon no mago, ao no exorcist, wolfs rain. I like the dark ones from time to time. Like the new one Another, that was creepy cool.
Medyrius
Medyrius August 7, 2012, 11:59 am

You have an interesting anime list here, I'm picking you some if you don't mind :p
And they're not long at all, piece of cake ^^

Tell me, did you keep count of how many animes have you watched so far?
Saiya
Saiya August 7, 2012, 1:06 pm

I wish I had kept count, its a lot though because it takes me a long time to even recall my favorites. I just started Accel World. That ones pretty cool. I also liked Future Diary, that one is dark too. Let me know which ones you come up with.
Medyrius
Medyrius August 8, 2012, 3:02 am

Yappari, anime nara saiya ga sempai :)
The animes I've watched so far, I think I can count them on the fingers...
What do you mean the one I come up with? Sorry I happen to have trouble with some expressions ^^
Saiya
Saiya August 8, 2012, 3:46 am

Oh let me know, which animes you can think of. What does Yappari mean, I have heard it in anime but cant find a definition of it.
Medyrius
Medyrius August 8, 2012, 6:49 am

Ah Sokka! ^^
Well the animes that really marked me except for the long-run classics are Claymore and Death Note which I can bet you have watched too ^^
I'm sorry to ask but could you make me a list of all the interesting animes you know of, only when you have time though, no urgency ^^

矢っ張り (やっぱり): also; as I thought; still; in spite of; absolutely; of course.
It's a second pronunciation of the word 矢張り (やはり).

I have a tip for vocab building while watching anime, Use a jisho (www.jisho.org is exellent) and immediately look up the words you hear often enough.
You can happen to forget it but then just look it up over again, once you've got it recorded you won't need a sub for that word ever again ;)
Saiya
Saiya August 8, 2012, 1:54 pm

Very good idea. Yeah I have been so busy lately I havent even had time to study Japanese. I log on to write down a few kanji to practice and look up but never have much more time than that. I am training to run a half marathon and Im working full time right now as well. I should have more time starting next week and I should be able to really study more. I will write down some of the animes I really liked and send it to you. Do you have an email address you would like me to use?

I think it Ok actually, in this context it'd have the meaning of naming/designating...

billy_n
billy_n July 3, 2012, 10:16 am

what is Genki Text Books?
shairn
shairn July 3, 2012, 10:50 am

That'S great! I'm thinking I'll order the first book soon. It'd be great to start on the genki textbooks at the same time as college.
shairn
shairn July 3, 2012, 10:51 am

Also to answer billy-san's question, they're a series(Hardly a series, two volumes) of textbooks specializing in teaching japanese grammar, though to my understanding they also cover some kanji.
Saiya
Saiya July 3, 2012, 11:36 am

yeah they are nice books, looking forward to reading them again.
billy_n billy_n July 2, 2012, 2:18 pm

omoshiroi desuyo o.O Sending you an email now.
Saiya
Saiya July 2, 2012, 5:14 am

Thank you for the book Domensan. Its very interesting and I think it could definitely help. The weird thing is that it never gives the translations. So like my favorite in there as I skimmed through the first couple dozen pages was the explanation for 早 はよ. It simply gives the english Early without putting the roomaji in for the nihongo. Still it was Sugoi!!!
Domen
Domen July 2, 2012, 5:29 am

Some "explanations" or maybe stories, I guess, are just amazing! Some are meh, but I like book. It is good for people like me, who have trouble remembering kanji. Today was so unproductive day for me. I was "studying" all day and I learned nothing. It's too hot right now. It's 36 degrees Celsius or should I say 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Saiya
Saiya July 2, 2012, 6:45 am

Oh don't melt!!! /giggle. Its 18°C here atm and Im loving it!! Ich Liebe Die as they say in deutsch... not sure how they would say the same phrase in nihongo. Watashi wa sore wo daisuki desu! Maybe? Doesnt seem to hold the same sentiment though does it?
Domen
Domen July 2, 2012, 6:55 am

Mein Deutsch ist nich so gut. I had 4 years of german classes in my primary school. I remember nothing.

Hmm.. You know what. You should check japanese mcdonalds website. ROFL
Saiya
Saiya July 2, 2012, 9:00 am

LOL thats where i learned the german for it I can still hear the jingle in my head haha
Saiya
Saiya July 2, 2012, 9:14 am

so i just watched a dozen japanese mcdonald commercials and they all have the english "Im Lovin It" at the end sigh
Domen
Domen July 2, 2012, 4:58 pm

Oh well.. The Fuuu.. iretruck.. I just remembered something really weird and funny at the same time. I will send you a link.
vrach vrach July 1, 2012, 7:41 pm
Hi there.. I'm new here.. begin to start learning japanese :D
Saiya
Saiya July 2, 2012, 1:03 am

Welcome to JCJP ;) Ganbarou!
Medyrius Medyrius June 29, 2012, 10:20 am
Oy! I just saw you failed vocab test!
What happened?
Saiya
Saiya June 29, 2012, 10:27 am

lol i was watching a video lol Temporary lapse of concentration that spiraled out of control lol
Medyrius
Medyrius June 29, 2012, 10:41 am

AH sokka, you had me worried... Thought you were like... rushing things ^^

Soreyori, let's continue our conversation about bleach here.

Oh you're so lucky, I've never been to things like anime or video game convention... Must be soo cool!
It's too bad Senegalese people aren't very interested into animes... I must be the only guy to watch animes in my town! xD

So you recognized the numbers, did you also recognize the characters they represent? The Gotei 13 captains...
Saiya
Saiya June 29, 2012, 10:48 am

hai, that was back when i was watching the episodes. My favorite number in kanji is four 四 I like the way it looks. My favorite capt in the show episodes 1-104 anyway was of course Toshiro Hitsugaya his Daiguren Hyorinmaru was just awesome. I have no idea what happened after 104 so cant tell if id still like him or not.
Medyrius
Medyrius June 29, 2012, 11:10 am

I can guarantee you will ;)
Generally I like all the captains but my favorite is Zaraki! lol
I like the way he enjoys fighting and doesn't care about anything else...
But for some reason, you can't just find a picture of him without a mad face, so I'd rather use the kawaii hitsugaya as my profile picture lol

No seriouly, you must continue watching bleach when you have time, if you've enjoyed it to episode 104, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest...
Saiya
Saiya June 29, 2012, 11:16 am

okies I will start as soon as a finish this last mushy mushy girly anime LOL. I found some cool fan art of zaraki.
Saiya
Saiya June 29, 2012, 11:18 am

ill add the zaraki pix to my photo collection, cant figure out how to add them to the convo outside of forums
Medyrius
Medyrius June 29, 2012, 11:30 am

hoho nice! A chance they're not too scary cuz you can't remove a pic once you've posted it :P
Must speak to the admin for that...

Is that you on the other picture?
Saiya
Saiya June 29, 2012, 1:07 pm

the blue haired chick is me /giggle
Medyrius
Medyrius June 29, 2012, 10:18 pm

Stylish color ;) I like it ^^
You did it for some particular occasion?
Saiya
Saiya June 30, 2012, 2:57 am

No occasion, I call it my mid-life crisis LOL. I had always wanted to do it but always had some reason I told myself I couldnt, I woke up one morning and said to myself that there was no time like the present. Went and did it and loved it. I enjoyed looking on the outside a bit more like I feel on the inside, different.
Medyrius
Medyrius August 7, 2012, 12:10 pm

Waw, sorry for commenting sooo late but your last phrase is so cool that I was like No comment!
I wish I could be that daring ^^
Saiya Saiya June 27, 2012, 4:22 am
YAY just hit lvl 3... kinda worried though cause Im now lvl 3 still havent even started on lvl 2 kanji and dont have lvl 2 vocab completely down. Now Im going to be adding lvl 3 kanji and lvl 3 vocab to the practice questions. Seem like it doesnt take enough points to level. It probably should have been closer to 20,000 points to hit lvl 3 so that it would really force you to do the readings the notes, the practice and the vocab/kanji tests.
and_strider
and_strider June 27, 2012, 4:30 am

Ganbatte!!
My vocab is at chapter 45.
and my kanji is still at chapter 24.
Memorizing kanji is sure drain a lot of brain power.
Don't worry about it!
Medyrius
Medyrius June 27, 2012, 5:12 am

Actually they should have separated the user lvl from the lessons level... That way one can take his time in one lesson level without having to worry about user level growing...
Gado
Gado June 27, 2012, 9:22 am

I'm at level 4, and my vocabulary is at chapter 27 while my kanji is at chapter 21.

That's what happens when I use practice too much. XD
shairn
shairn June 27, 2012, 11:18 am

I personally didn't go into practice mode until I had completed every lesson in my level. It just takes a bit of willpower!
baka8
baka8 June 27, 2012, 2:28 pm

I'm also at level 4, and I haven't even reached chapter 20 for either vocab or kanji. And yeah, it kinda gets tough with the mandatory attendance thing.
Saiya
Saiya June 27, 2012, 2:36 pm

Well the attendance isnt mandatory but I like being counted on the calendar. I only do enough of the practice questions lately to get the daily attendance and then I go back to the vocab/kanji quizes.
baka8
baka8 June 27, 2012, 2:41 pm

Yeah, I guess it was my fault for focusing on the practice questions. That's how I got my 120+ combo and leveled up quickly :P
Saiya Saiya June 22, 2012, 9:23 am
HAHA ok stop challenging me now /giggle. I need to study lvl 2 vocab cause wow Im losing way too much lol
Medyrius
Medyrius June 22, 2012, 9:39 am

Lol, alright, but I read the comment too late, I already sent you another challenge (little difficult) so I can get my revenge :P
Saiya
Saiya June 22, 2012, 9:41 am

hahaha ok no worries im studying my chapter 2 vocab right now
xMakoReactantx
xMakoReactantx June 23, 2012, 1:48 am

And in only a day? Wow indeed.
Saiya
Saiya June 23, 2012, 4:49 am

nani? Oh yeah I hit lvl 2 and all the questions were suddenly lvl 2 and i hadnt had time to study them so I lost a lot of matches LOL. Im getting up to speed quickly though so I should be able to accept new challenges soon.
Medyrius
Medyrius June 23, 2012, 4:56 am

You can leave them pending as long as you want ;)
That's what I do with my kanji subject challenges :D
Saiya
Saiya June 23, 2012, 5:02 am

oh yeah i guess i can, thx
baka8
baka8 June 23, 2012, 8:13 pm

...oops. Yeah, just leave em pending till you feel like it. Though I set it to be pretty easy (aka no kanji).
Saiya Saiya June 21, 2012, 4:18 am
Challenge me!!! Its so.... TANOSHII! Besides I have yet to win once lol /giggle
shairn
shairn June 21, 2012, 6:20 am

I've only seen the level 6 challenges, and I was pretty surprised to see kanji that I've never seen in practice. Feel free to challenge me, I don't mind ruining my combo every now and then :P
Medyrius
Medyrius June 21, 2012, 7:06 am

Yea, it's better if you're the one sending the challenge. That way you can setup the questions to come to the set you feel more comfortable with...
Besides, I think the questions level depend on the sender's level...
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 7:11 am

oh? okies Ive challenged all the level 1s Ive seen I think... Ill look some more.
shairn
shairn June 21, 2012, 7:13 am

I'm pretty sure a lower level can challenge a higher level, but then again I've only ever done challenges on level 6.
Medyrius
Medyrius June 21, 2012, 7:25 am

I think it's ok if a lower level challenges a higher level, but then the questions are going to be the level of the lower level, and that becomes (may become?) an advantage for the higher level... :s
shairn
shairn June 21, 2012, 8:05 am

Actually Saiya just challenged me with level 6 questions... That was strange.
Medyrius
Medyrius June 21, 2012, 9:11 am

Ah, so I guess questions are different in both sides and actually depend on the levels of each user... Kekkyoku, shimpai iranai tte wake da ^^
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 9:39 am

i selected lvl 1 but the questions were muzukashii! I guess thats cause it ended up giving me lvl 6 haha
Medyrius
Medyrius June 21, 2012, 10:01 am

I've just made a little check and it appears that the lvls you can pick depend on the lvl of the person you are trying to challenge.

I think this happened :

1 - Since it was Saiya challenging and since Shairn is lvl6, all lvls were available for Saiya to chose between them (1 to 6).

2 - The max lvl available is always checked by default on every lvl settings in jcjp.

3 - Saiya challenged Shairn and checked lvl1 but forgot to unckeck lvl6 wich was checked by default (maybe didn't notice)

That would explain the fact that both of you had some lvl6 questions...
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 10:31 am

ahhh souka desu. arigatou Medyrius senpai
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 10:45 am

WOOT LVL 2 thx for the time attack challenges I lvled yay
zeto
zeto June 21, 2012, 1:20 pm

challenge accepted.
zeto
zeto June 21, 2012, 1:24 pm

expect to lose though.
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 1:45 pm

oh im used to it by now /giggle but its ok, im not a sore loser. Ganbarou!!!
Medyrius
Medyrius June 21, 2012, 6:40 pm

Ore ha makete :(
Sugoi ne Saiya-chan! ii speed datta, sore ha ;)

メヂリュス, 俺はお前をちょうせん. 準備してください...
Saiya
Saiya June 21, 2012, 10:53 pm

ah not fair Zetosenpai I dont know what that means yet /whine Medyrius translate kudasai /giggle
shairn
shairn June 22, 2012, 2:04 am

ください is somewhat the equivalent to "please".
Medyrius
Medyrius June 22, 2012, 4:01 am

Lol shairn, I think she meant the whole phrase :D
Zeto said he wants me to send him a challenge... It's Alright! ;)
shairn
shairn June 22, 2012, 4:06 am

I was wondering... But you never know!
Saiya
Saiya June 22, 2012, 7:54 am

haha yeah I know what kudasai means, bad me for poor use of punctuation lol. I wish I could type hiragana/kanjo like you guys but I dont know how with this regular keyboard.
shairn
shairn June 22, 2012, 8:37 am

Are you using windows 7/vista? if so, you can just go into control panel -> region and language -> "keyboards and languages" tab -> press "change keyboards" -> click "add" -> scroll down to "japanese(japan)" -> expand the "keyboard" section and check "Microsoft IME". Save all that and you're done, just press alt+shift to switch over to japanese.
Saiya
Saiya June 22, 2012, 9:17 am

Sugoi! Ill see if I can Im on Windows 8
Medyrius
Medyrius June 22, 2012, 9:35 am

Woah didn't know Windows 8 was available already *_*
Saiya
Saiya June 22, 2012, 9:42 am

its in Beta ive got it though and its great though im still learning it
zeto
zeto June 22, 2012, 1:28 pm

med, there seems to be a problem whenever someone challenges me a time attack. as you can see there are two links on your notif when someone challenged you but these two links only leads to the profile of the challenger and my profile respectively. i dunno if this is a bug but whatever i think i'll be the one to challenge you myself.
Medyrius
Medyrius June 22, 2012, 10:46 pm

It happens sometimes that the notification links turn bersek...
But for challenges, that's not a big problem, just use the "Challenge" tab in your profile... There you can accept the pending challenges from other users...

Now that makes it two matches we have, hope I'll win both :P
zeto
zeto June 22, 2012, 11:47 pm

i just realized this afternoon about that "challenge tab". my my silly me i did not explore very well the jcjp interface.

anyway as for your challenge a while ago i guess i have to learn yet the level 6 kanji for i am still stuck at level 5 (insufficient time reasons, you know, college stuff and i am also learning programming languages at the same time).
Medyrius
Medyrius June 22, 2012, 11:51 pm

Oh I'm studying programming too ^^
Didn't know we had that in common ;)

The challenge I sent you is lvl6 vocab only, no kanji. But take your time, no rush ;)
I'm also going to need some revision of kanji lvl3 before I can take yours :P

What languages are you on right now?
zeto
zeto June 22, 2012, 11:59 pm

Well, I already gained the foundation in programming on languages such as C++, Java, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, ActionScript, and Visual Basic.

Right now I just got started taking the Android programming course and I heard Ruby and Ocaml is very popular in Japan that's why I'm planning to learn those in the near future.
xMakoReactantx
xMakoReactantx June 24, 2012, 11:08 am

I'm up for a challenge or two, so let me know when your rear end stops hurting from the prior beatings.
Saiya
Saiya June 24, 2012, 11:18 am

LOL um a tad obtuse haha. yeah Im getting there I was falling behind badly on Kanji which was making it difficult and hadnt had the chance to really study a lot of the lvl 2 vocab. I think Im doing well though, catching up quickly and Im sure Ill be beating you soon /giggle
Gasurii Gasurii June 20, 2012, 9:20 am
Hajimemashite, Saiya-san! I really hope that this website - and the friends you make here - will be able to help you reach your goal!

Haha. You're the first person to friend me. I've been too busy frantically learning new vocab and kanji. Really, it's nice to meet you! I've been taking Japanese classes at my college for two years now, and I'm about to go into "Honors Intensive Advanced Japanese" *very scary title*. So, while I may not know quite as much as other people on here, if you have any questions about grammar, Japanese culture, etc., don't hesitate to ask!
Saiya
Saiya June 20, 2012, 11:41 am

arigatou gozaimasu Gasurii senpai. I will need all the help I can get. I hope to be taking classes this fall /crosses fingers hopefully I get accepted into the school I was really late applying so who knows.
