Adventures in Learning Japanese. One man's Quest for Japanese Fluency. Saturday, June 20, 2009. Well I am finally finished with my internet/computer/time troubles. It took a few months but I am back in the habit and here to stay. Studying a language for fun while working full time and having young kids is somewhat crazy but hey, I love it :D. I will also update my books used soon, I ordered some dictionaries of japanese grammar by the Japan Times. GOOD STUFF. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://korynthius.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Adventures in Learning Japanese. One man's Quest for Japanese Fluency. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. The corrections are done on a line by line basis. Usually you will get multiple people correcting your Japanese, and you can pick the corrections that make the mot sense to you, if there are more than one. Corrections usually come VERY quickly due to the amount of people using the recent post feed! I've done 2 posts so far and continue to do more! So go forth, and BE CORRECTED!
