すげっ。夏目漱石の「三四郎」がPCでタダで読める・・
フリガナついてる^^うれしい~
宮沢賢治が読みたいな・・・でも多分、まだ版権が切れてないから、無料は無理だねえ

My friend was reading that. It's probably too hard for me right now, though.

I think regular kindles don't let you get Japanese e-books
Still can't get one to buy

Oh no
 
Yeah, I'm not sure why but I can read english kindle books on my computer, but .co.jp doesn't even have a "buy now" button
for me anyway

You can download PDFs of some light novels from Jコミ (j-comi.jp) and if you're willing to plow through the amateur stuff in search of the few available gems, there's pdfnovels.net . The difficulty of buying Japanese e-books from overseas is probably for the best as far as my bank account is concerned...

I suppose we could add some of these links to the resources community wiki, if they aren't there already

Ahh, I didn't know かがみ could also be 規範とすべきもの。模範。手本。亀鑑(きかん)。

I'm still playing that video game, and a character just said おまえ達こそショーグンのカガミじゃ!

That site is useful.

With its correspondingly smaller selection.

hey, so dumb silly question I just want to run past someone
verb + ようす is directly translated "the state of [verb]ing"?
例えば
くるようすはない = hasn't come
I'm making an educated guess that this ようす is 様子
This all makes sense to me, but that's not really saying much! haha!
In other news it feels great to be hitting the books again...did you know you can just go to a public library and plop at a desk with all your books?
 
「へうげもの」の質問に、4人も回答してますね~。大人気だなあ
私には、難しくてわからないのに・・・
「人一倍」が、どうして「人よりたくさん」になるんだろうね~
不思議だねえ~~~
「人の一倍」だったら、人とおんなじやん!ってなりそうなのに・・
@snailplane すげっ。宮沢賢治も読めるんだ!
ありがとお~
「セロ弾きのゴーシュ」とか「注文の多いレストラン」とか。子供っぽいけど面白かったなあ
「銀河鉄道の夜」を最後まで読んでないので、読もう。
@silvermaple 来る様子はない、って、来そうにない、って感じかな
 
9:25 PM
そうですか?ありがとう!
 
「来る気配はない」に、似ていると思う
「反省している様子はない」は,「反省しているように見えない」みたいな
「銃撃戦がおさまる様子はない」は「銃撃戦がおさまりそうにない」みたいな
 
そうか、そうか
おもしろいね
 
クイズです
「ジョンのお母さんは、3人の子供がいます。一番上の子の名前はエイプリル、真ん中の子の名前はメイです。末っ子の名前は何でしょうか?」
@silvermaple ^^
「人一倍」も面白いねえ~何か秘密があるのかも。

@silvermaple In 大辞泉 the first definition for 様子 is:    外から見てわかる物事のありさま。状況。状態。「当時の―を知る人」「室内の―をうかがう」

@silvermaple Sorry, I wasn't trying to correct you! I was just reading it and trying to guess :-)
 
10:38 PM
@snailplane :) I didn't think you where :D
Oh, wait, I get the dumb riddle now
ahh, so working in the library is so effective because my room/computer where I would otherwise study is also where I watch tv and play video games
 
Anonymous
I have that problem. Except for TV
 
Anonymous
But video games, yes :-)
 
well, my computer is also my tv
I knew I shouldn't have started watching dr who

Ohh, right. I remember you talking about that

I get really obsessive about anything I do.

I wasn't sure if it was good because it was popular or popular because it was good. now I know

So I watched the first couple seasons of Doctor Who on DVD pretty much end-to-end

At the time, I had an actual physical DVD player.

Turns out, my DVD player decided to permanently make a really really loud tone.

So the DVD player went into retirement.
 
Oh wow, that wouldn't scare the crap out of me

At one point I decided that, as long as I'm going to be playing video games, I might as well play them in Japanese
 
Anonymous
That way I can get some Japanese practice in

Then I usually end up stopping the game here and there, either writing something down to learn later, or looking things up / taking notes etc

So I trick myself into studying.

@silvermaple I used to watch Dr Who when I was growing up in the 70s; it was famous for making children hide behind the sofa with fear
 
Oh man, I can see why
The Empty Child gave me a stomach ache
@snailplane yeah!

@Tim I was born in 81, and my brother is a few years older than me. I live in the US, and I think we mostly got the Tom Baker episodes over here. Anyway, I remember my brother was a huge Doctor Who fan while I was growing up
 
Anonymous
I never really saw it, but when they started making a new Doctor Who series, he was super excited
 
Anonymous
That's why I started watching
 
Anonymous
I ended up seeing a couple of the old ones
 
Tim
11:10 PM
We don't get the new ones here in Japan but the clips I have seen they look good. Towards the end of old series (it began in the 60s, Tom Baker was #4 coming after Jon Pertwee) I remember people noticing the cheap nature of the sets but with modern technology it must be good.
 
Yeah, I figured I'm going to watch the modern ones then the classic ones
I started with Matt Smith, then went back to Eccleson, am on Tenent now...sort of out of order, but I plan on going 1->8 for classic

Oh yeah, don't worry about it I can write my own if I can stop watching this dumb show long enough!
