I have been taking Japanese classes through the Learning Works programme at Glasgow Uni.  This week, the homework was to construct two diary-like sentences, to practice using verbs.   They should be done in rōmaji and Hiragana.

Given that I’m actually off this week, I’m going to see if I can do this every day – assuming I do enough interesting things to write two sentences about! And I’m going to do it in Kanji as well.

Typing it up on the Blog is actually a little easier than doing it by hand, as it guesses the Kanji predictive text-style as I type the kana.  But I still have to recognise the right Kanji as they come up, and I plan to hand-write them as well, for practice.

So here’s today’s effort:

Today I went to Japanese Class by bus and subway.

Watashi wa kyou basu to chikatetsu de nihongo no kurassu ni ikimashita.

わたし　は　きょう　ばす　と　ちかてつ　で　にほんご　の　くらっす　に　いきました。

私は今日バスと地下鉄で日本語のクラッスに行きました。

I played computer games today from 4pm to 4:30pm.

Watashi wa kyou conpyuutaa geimu gogo yoji kara yojihan made asobimashita.

わたし　は　きょう　コンピューター　ゲーム　ごご　よじ　から　よじはん　まで　あそびました。

私は今日コンピューターゲーム午後四時から四時半まで遊びました。

Addendum:  I’m sure that I’d already changed the setting that stopped Japanese characters displaying properly.  I wonder if a recent WordPress update changed it back again.  I do hope it’s not retroactively broken previous posts
