Make your friends jealous by telling them your dog speaks Japanese (:

Next time, instead of saying “sit,” tell your dog “suwatte,” which means sit in Japanese.

Verb : 座る (すわる)

Type : RU-verb

Meaning : to sit

The word subarashii (すばらし) means excellent or great

The dog in the photo is actually my dog! (: Her name is Roxy and she is an 8 year old chocolate lab. The picture above was taken specifically for this post and she received a dog bone for sitting (:

OUTDATED!!!

PLEASE READ THE REVISED POST HERE

Choosing the right textbook is imperative to the study of Japanese.  Some may not explain things in an easy to understand way, which can leave learners frustrated with Japanese.  It is good to know which textbooks do a better job explaining and helping you retain info than others.  Here is a list of Japanese textbooks I recommend. These are all ones that I do own and have tried.  I have found them to be, in general, the most helpful.  I hope this helps you decide which textbook to use with your studies!

Individual reviews for each, coming soon!

Labels are a great way to boost your Japanese vocabulary!

The awkward examples above are my attempt at making labels for colors :) I opened Google Translator and found all the Kanji for the colors. Then, I typed them in Notepad and increased the font size so I knew how to write then. After I wrote the Kana pronunciation and definition, I pasted them near colors around the house.

This can easily be done with all vocabulary!

Using labels to boost your Japanese vocabulary takes minutes and is really fun!
