日本語勉強しようよ The Great Art of Japanese Study

My new year's resolution this year was to wake up early each morning and study Japanese. Three weeks of sleeping in later, I've finally started to get into the habit of waking early and actually study. Sort of...

If you can read Japanese, you will notice that from question 4 onwards, my answers are full of troll. ψ(`∇´)ψ  Ironically, making up troll sentences makes me do more study than I would otherwise. For example, I may want to include the word "black market" in my made up sentences and since I had no idea what that  is, I would either ask my boyfriend or search up the dictionary. As it turns out, "black market" is 闇市(やみいちyami-ichi)- just in case you were curious. As nonsensical and very un-majime (まじめ:serious) as it is, it is part of the great art of fun and effective learning. Win-win. 〜(^∇^〜) 

No idea when I would ever use the word black-market in Japan, but it could come in handy...
