こんにちは！

げんきですか？

Yeah, so, I still don't have conversation skills yet, but I think I will work on that next.

I am up to about 百 Kanji. So, maybe I should start using them. Once I learn how. I need vocabulary. I need particles. I need so many things.

No, I am not frustrated, because everyday brings me that much closer to speaking this beautiful language.

On the Kanji front, I know that most of the time, when you have too or more, you use the Onyomi reading, but my question is what if there is more than one Onyomi? That's where the vocabulary comes in handy, I believe.

I know, mostly, how to conjugate verbs. Next up is nouns.

So, this is going to be my new game plan.

いち: Learn two Kanji. Review the ones I know.
に: Learn three particles.
さん: Learn 5 verbs.
よん: Learn 5 nouns.

In theory, as I do this, I increase my vocabulary, right? And I think it is particles holding me back in forming sentences. I am terrified of making a mistake. And I don't know why. Why be terrified?

I am learning a language! I am going to make mistakes!
Hell, even Japanese people mess up!
I speak English and I still mess that up.
I am a writer, and I mess up.

Don't be afraid.
Don't let fear hold you back.
Acknowledge that you WILL make mistakes and learn from them.
Be fearless in moving forward!

Now, it's time to take my own advice!

またね！
