Valentine's Day Poem in Japanese
A love poem in Japanese using the vocabulary learned in class.
わたしは みる かれ。
かれは きれです まいあさ と まいばん と まいにし。
かれは きれです。
わたし かれは すきです。
まいにちは はる。
おせわになります。
おおきい れんあい。
Not quite what I was hoping to say...
Once we learn more verbs I will reattempt to write a love poem in Japanese.
Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Korea, where I am from, and Japan celebrate Valentine's Day in a similar fashion. Only the females give chocolate on Valentine's Day in both countries. On White Day, which is on March 14th, males distribute chocolate in Japan while males give out candy in Korea. In my opinion, Korea made candy the staple present to give on White Day to grant candy manufacturers the opportunity to increase their revenue along with chocolate manufacturers. I was hoping to make heart-shaped macha cookies and bring them to class tomorrow, but it looks like it will have to wait until next week.

そばや と ぱにゃわ おいしい と たのしい
(I will only be using affirmative non-past tense verbs for this blog even though this happened over the weekend. I will distinguish between past and non-past tenses in future blogs, just wanted to become familiar with the verbs first. ^^)
Over the weekend, わたしわ いきます to そばや たべます そば と うに。
I used what little にほんご わたし am able to いって と きって にほんご used amongst the かいしゃいん と にほんじん customers. そばや あれです。 Located at: 229 (にひゃくにじゅきゅう)East 9th （きゅう）Street #3 （いちかい）NYC でんわ ばんご：２１２－５３３－６９６６（いちにいちのごさんさんのろくきゅうろくろく）そばやわ a variety of different そば。そばやわ やすい と ちいさい。わたしわ いって “おはようございます。 にひと おねがいします。”かいしゃいん いって “＆（＊％＾＄＾＊＆ なまえ *）＆＊＾＄％＾＊（）”わたしわ わかります なまえです じゃ わたしわ いって ”Julie です。“ After waiting for about じゅ minutes, we sat down at a table and when we were ready to order わたしわ いって ”すみません.“ When it was my turn to order, わたしわ いって ”うに そばや ふたつ おねがいします。“ I have been to Sobaya often but this was my first time visiting the place after learning Japanese. I was excited and honestly happy when わたしわよみますtheir にほんごmenu! After we finished our meal, we いきます to Panya ぱにゃ, a ちいさい と やすい にほんご bakery. There, わたしわ いって ”こんにちは。おちゃ おねがいします。“ And out of the desire to use more にほんご、わたしわ いって ”おおきい,“basically asking for a big cup. To apply the direction exercises we did in にほんご きようしつ わたｑしわ いって ”おちゃcake どれですか.“ I was hoping she would say, “それです。”but she just pointed to it, so わたしわ いって “はい、これです。”(The cake was right infront of me^^*). I wanted to use あれです、so わたしわ いって “そばや どこですか.あそこですか.”pointing toward the east. I now realize I should have been more polite and asked, "どちらですか," instead of " どこですか." ”はい,” she replied along with unfamiliar Japanese I didn't understand, so I just smiled と わたしわ いって “ありがと ございます。また らいしゅう！” I don’t know if I will be able to go again next week, but I wanted to speak more にほんご. みなさん たべます そばや と ぱにゃ らいしゅう！

Nihonjin ocha uchi Cha An
Ohayo gozaimasu.
Today's blog will be the last blog I write in romanized Nihongo. From 'ashita' I will write in Hiragana as much as I can in my blogs. I have memorized all of the Hiragana characters but have not figured out how to type in Hiragana only Katagana seems to appear. I will figure it out by today. ^^ This weekend I went to Cha An, a 'Nihonjin ocha uchi' downtown. I hope 'minna' will stop by sometime and 'nomu ocha' and practice their Japansese to the staff there. I entered upon their 'kire ocha uchi' and said to the waitress, "Konbanwa. yon hito, onegaishimasu."Out of my lack of confidence, I held up two fingers just in case. I wish I had known the plural of 'hito' so I could say four people, rather than four person. When it came time to order, I pointed to the menu and said "futatsu, onegaishimasu." When our tea arrived, I said "Arigato gozaimasu." I wanted to speak more Nihongo to them for example, "Cha An suki desu," or "Watashi wa dagakusei." Incase they asked me something I didn't understand, I would have just smile politely and say "chotto," memorize the sound and ask Sato sensei. 'Minna sanpo' down to Cha An 'ocha uchi sugu' for 'undo' and order in Nihongo as you seki shita. There is also a 'ike' in the store with a pile of 'ishi' aesthetically positioned around it and it is very kireina but you have to be shizukana. It's open until 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, making it a lovely place to go on a date where you can say "osewani narimasu" to that special someone and hopefully s/he will reply, "kochirakoso."
