Only in the context of Japanese classes, and only to my teacher! Writing is easier as you can decide what you want to say and take your time. Talking means you need to work out what someone is saying in real time! Not easy!

I have no idea if it’s correct or not, but it’s looking very impressive. Have you been able to speak to a real Japanese person??

I only ever get false alarm fire alarms! I’m glad it wasn’t anything more serious.

Hey there slacker-san I write you from sunny Mexico, where I live and study Japanese,
I really enjoy and I had the same problem you have I hated my ? , with a passion, didn’t care for the bugger that is until today, my strokes seamed too forced specially the first one. I was writing, faster than normal and as I approached the first stroke I let my wrist fly and the result was pregnant looking ? .

The most kick ass looking ? that I have ever written. So give it a go and see what happens.

Hopefully you’ll be as happy with the result as I was

The first stroke look like a ‘tsu’ ? but with a slightly longer upper arm.
The second stroke straight down with a slightly angle starting from right to left.
And the last one I also do a straight line.

The end result is a beautiful, healthy looking piece of hiragana
The new and improved ? .

Tell me what you think.

I tried this game while listening Sir Peter Maxwell Divies’ Violin Concerto No. 2 on Winamp. Your game’s keystrokes coincided with Winamp controls previously unknown to me and turned the music on and off, rewound and re-started. So there’s no need to add music, it’s all there already.
