September’s Japan Matsuri (Festival)

I missed it again.  What with the move to b5 and all sorts of other things going on, the deadline went right past me. What’s up with that?

The theme for the September Japan Matsuri (festival) – Japanese language.

I would have liked to have added -

Our Turtle Who Art in Heaven

or

Worms and Pizza

but, dang it, I missed the invitation.

Still, here are a few who did make it to the party -

Peter wrote about Reading Japanese for Fun.

Glowing Face Man wrote about conditionals in English and Japanese.

Shane wrote about handy kanji for travelers.

Liv wrote about the daily struggles of trying to learn the seemingly impenetrable language of the country you live in.

Andrew wrote about Heisig’s Remembering the Kanji

Tony wrote about the changes in Japanese recently.

Nick wrote about foreign names in Japanese.

Jamaipanese wrote a entry called Learning Japanese is complicated but not difficult.

Mizuumi wrote a bilingual Polish/English entry on techniques for learning Kanji.

Ken wrote about poorly-understood job titles.

Deas wrote about “PC” in Japan.

And Tae Kim hosted it at Tae Kim’s Blog.

Next month the matsuri will be hosted by Deas at Rocking in Hakata.

RSON will host it in January.
