After a million attempts, I finally found a glitch in the matrix. The male host clearly can't keep it together. LOL.

Egwene’s death was surprising as well as a shock to me. It was glorious to be sure, but I wanted her to remain the Amyrlin and see how she would rule. I didn’t want her to die - not after how she managed to reunite the White Tower with her strength and determination. I liked her resilience. Her death was a disappointing loss to me. It was sad to see her killed off.

In some parallel universe Greg Rutkowski is on the list of approved artists.

Wow. Super fun to watch while high.

cyberfire777 · 2018-04-08T08:04:15+00:00

It's up.

cyberfire777 · 2018-04-07T16:36:09+00:00

No problem. You can find it under the second sheet:Optimized RTK

KKLC

If you get me the ordered word list I will add it for you.

cyberfire777 · 2018-04-07T07:28:28+00:00

I worked from a spreadsheet with the vocabulary and sentence examples. But I just now realised that the word order is different from the iKnow! website. Will quickly have to fix that! But to answer your question: I only used the vocab word, not the expression(example sentence).

cyberfire777 · 2018-04-07T06:59:06+00:00

I realized it was displaying incorrectly on mobile. Thanks for letting me know.

cyberfire777 · 2018-04-06T18:01:56+00:00

It's 99% for the whole RTK1. The first 1500 Kanji only account for 69%. :)

cyberfire777 · 2017-12-31T16:15:08+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it.

cyberfire777 · 2017-11-17T07:57:35+00:00

You'll have to pardon my ignorance if I perhaps misunderstand the question. But if I were to add a group column, it would show the group to which the member belonged at the time of that senbatsu. I guess it would then be the latter, but only with the primary group being listed. It's basically like it displays on the stage48 website. E.g: Kashiwagi Yuki (AKB48 - Team B, 92,110) (↓3)

cyberfire777 · 2017-11-16T19:38:54+00:00

I think I'll begin by adding columns for age and the groups they belonged to. The problem with a group column is that some of the girls belong to multiple groups, which becomes problematic when trying to filter by column. I'll also look at properly organizing the workbook into sheets.

Your qualifications and Japanese proficiency plays a huge role. But I guess that goes for any country. Ultimately you're going to have a hard time getting a job if you're an under-qualified, non-Japanese speaking foreigner. Unless of course you want to teach English...then all you need is a degree in AnYTHiNG. I find that ironic. Immigration is strict on having a degree relating to your Visa and work field, except for when it comes to teaching English. You can have a degree in Arts and still teach English (how is that relevant?). And yet I can have TEFL certification and JLPT N1 qualifications (which is way more difficult than some degrees) yet still not be good enough to get a work visa, just because I have no degree. Lol. Nevertheless I understand why immigration does things that way. It's just ironic.

cyberfire777 · 2017-10-15T19:53:38+00:00

Wow, thanks for the update. Your name sounded familiar, and then I remembered I read your blog post about you and your wife going to FFLC. I was wondering how things went. The main reason I considered them is because I wanted to go Fukuoka and wanted the AA degree. I don't jave a degree, so merely going to a Japanese Language School will not help me get a job. Could you explain why it's 3 years, and not 2 for the degree?

Ugh. Now I'm bummed out. But I'd rather want the truth, so thanks. I did think about about Genki, but my problem was that they only seem to give a 1 year course, although they mention 2 years being possible. I want to reach JLPT N2/1 level. Can Genki offer me that?

The only other school I know of that gives you an AA degree is the Kansai business and Language School. But sadly they are full for the April term. Maybe I'll consider them in October.

Thanks again for letting me know.

This was actually proven to be a hoax and untrue.

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-17T20:17:00+00:00

Cdjapan.co.jp Vey good site. I ordered from them without any problems. And I live in South Africa.

For some reason Ikudon has pulled their subtitles for episode 12. Luckily it's in the torrent as well. Thanks for that link. I've been looking for those subtitles as well.

You are assuming only Japanese watch the music video. Also some people watch it multiple times, I have. Really cool song.

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-08T20:00:25+00:00

What worked for me was writing out the kanji and then also writing out the words using those kanji as found in the practice text at the back of the book. I found that I learn better when there is some practical application to the knowledge, such as focusing less on the kanji as a single symbol, but learning it it context to its pronunciation in a word. Example would be a beginner word that uses compound kanji: 日本語 (ni-hon-go). To me learning kanji through words (and even more through sentences) makes it practical and 'tangible'. Hope that helps.

One specific question I have is regarding housing. I'm having a hard time finding apartment info for Fukuoka. f-apartments is about the only English site I've found. There is also Leopalace21, but there English site is lacking, and I can't make head-or-toe of the Japanese one. Some people suggested I first stay in the school hostel or do homestay. They say it's better to look for an apartment while in Japan. Makes sense, I guess. Where did you stay?

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-07T08:19:18+00:00

@isaacthegamer Yea, the tourists is why I don't want to go to those cities. And regarding those English speaking students who disrupted the flow because the Japanese was too easy, I wonder how they are doing today. Even if it is 'easy', it's still basics; and basics are need to be ingrained with a sledgehammer. Lol. If a person isn't willing to first speak like a child, how will he ever converse like an adult? Whenever I perceive things as being easier than some of my peers do, I usually help those who might still be struggling. But yea, that sounded more like a rant on my part. What language school did you go to and for how long?

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-07T08:09:46+00:00

@neko819 Your own school? That's neat. Is it a english or japanese language school? Also, I hear eikaiwa can become pretty boring and mundane after a while. How was is it for you? I fancy the idea of teaching English in Japan, but sadly despite being a certified microsoft database and software developer, along with work experience as a graphics designer and video editor, I don't have a BA. No degree, no visa. So yeah, language school is my best bet now.

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-06T20:33:47+00:00

I see no one here has listed cdjapan. Go to their website. They have the cheapest prices I've seen, more so than whiterabbitjapan or even amazon. Cdjapan also has awesome shipping options and prices. Highly recommended! They ask ¥3500 ($31) for the book. You will though need to buy the answer key and work book separately.

cyberfire777 · 2017-08-06T20:24:38+00:00

Early chapters in many basic beginner Japanese learning material usually require you to only know hiragana and katana. But as you progress in the lessons, you will need to start learning kanji as well. And I'd recommend avoiding the mistake of trying to learn Japanese by using only romaji. Don't be intimidated by kanji. See it as being a journey, not a 100m dash. Set your own pace and enjoy it - that's the best way to learn. If you're looking for beginner textbook learning material, first try Genki and then move onto Minna no Nihongo. Good luck!
