so I am still looking for more people. We will start in A week, but I will have a book list and website resource list for you tomorrow. All the books that I bought I got at half price books, which is a second-hand bookstore in the US. For you I would suggest Amazon.com unless you can find them at a local store for cheap. I would much rather neither of you pay more than $10 per book.

 

     The best thing to do to get started is to learn the to alphabet systems called the Hiragana and the Katakana. They are collectively known as the Kana. There are 48 characters in each system. Both systems are identical in sounds, but the symbols are different. For now, do not concern yourself with the Kanji, that is the 8000-some Chinese character- based system that is used in Japanese. We'll get in to that after we all have material to work from.

      Aside from the language I will be learning the cultural and historical aspects of the Japanese, if you wold like to learn that as well you are more than welcome to join me. I plan to do this so that at the end of learning I will be able to travel there and not make a fool of myself.

      Lastly, I'd love to know a little about both of you and whoever else might want to join us, so please tell me a little about the two of you. As for me my name is Matt Nissenbaum, I am 25 and live just north of Chicago. Everything interests me and so I am a fount of random information. The last book I read was Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk, I am currently reading The Chrysanthemum And The Sword by Ruth Benedict. I am the middle of 5 brothers and really badly want to go and live in Japan. I have been there once, but only in Tokyo and only for a few days back in 2000.

 

Anyways I have to get back to work. I send you both that list tomorrow. Do try to get some of the books if you can. Until tomorrow, sayonara.

Thanks for the comment on my blog :) I tried reading The Kite Runner awhile back but I had to put it down because it felt like it'd be too sad for me. Then I watched the movie and knew I made the right decision. I will go back to it eventually.

I have to agree with you on I Am the Messenger. I love that book so much. And Paper Towns, which I think has to go on my favourite books ever list :)

I'm glad you included Key to the Golden Firebird! I have that book on my to-be-read list and now I'm looking forward to it even more.

Are you still interested of being apart of the doctor Who collab?

Hey, we now got seven people for the Doctor Who collab! :) Just tell me what day you want and if you can think of any names for the channel! DFTBA
