自分で起きるときは -- literally "When I get up by myself"

It's like, when I wake up/get up by myself, without anyone's help, or an alarm clock. You just naturally wake up, spontaneously or automatically, probably after having enough sleep

異様に目覚め(が)いい -- literally "I strangely/unusually have a pleasant awakening"

It's like, you feel refreshed, don't feel sleepy.

@user19772 Like, "wide awake"

... たぶん

@jkerian interesting way to practice!!!

I am having trouble fully understanding the 語尾 [よね]. As I understand, よ is informing something to the listener, ね is seeking agreement. So よね would be doing both, but the problem is that whenever I think of examples to use よね, I realize that using one of the two alone would keep the same meaning

Can someone help me with some examples where よね is Indispensable for the sentence?

is that a good way to se it?

@FelipeOliveira, isnt a particle missing?

how do you mean, Jack?

Casual speech will often drop particles like は and が

@JACKB like @jkerian said, this is casual speech so particles were dropped

はい

It feels almost unfair when you're first learning the language though. Particles are a PITA to learn, and then you find out that people drop them all over the place. :)

yup

I'm learning alot on chatpad

I wish there was a 24/7 live chat available

Does anyone have a nice looking high resolution map of Japan to put as a desktop wallpaper? Surprisingly I can't really find anything satisfying.

I guess if all else fails there is Google Earth...
