What I would like to do in 東京 (Tokyo)

こんにちは！

As a part of my Japanese homework, I've been set an assignment to do a Tokyo web quest! I have to write a little account of what I'd like to do in Tokyo in 200 character max. It's pretty impossible for me to write so little about Tokyo so I've decided to impart the rest of my knowledge onto my blog 💕 

Fun facts about Tokyo

- Tokyo has a population of 38.7 million people.

-Tokyo is actually not considered a city, it's actually a metroplian prefecture.

- Tokyo is located in Eastern Japan in the Kantō region (Yes, this is where the Kanto region in Pokemon comes from)

- Since Tokyo is such a famous city, it is the setting for the majority of films set in Japan, including the upcoming Transformers 5!

- Japanese is the main language of Tokyo, but many people have English as a second language. In fact, many Japanese businessmen use English in work!

Places I'd like to go to

1. The Shibuya Crossing

2. Tokyo Disney 

3. The Pokemon Center

4. Hachiko Statue

(Of course, I do not own any of these photos and I thank the websites that let me use them)

In the end, I managed to choose going to Tokyo Disneyland for my essay and managed to look up information about all the different princesses including シンダレラ！

Katakana and Kanji charts ❤️

So I was on WeHeartIt.com again and I came across the adorable Japanese character charts again! They're handy to keep on your phone just in case you need a 'lil help with your Hiragana and Katakana!

1. 

Here's the Hiragana chart I posted up a few days ago

2. 

Here's a Katakana chart with a little guest appearance from Totoro-San from My Neighbour Totoro!

This is a pretty handy chart for learning basic kanji you'd end up using quite a lot. All of them except for 曜(よう) are on the Leaving Cert Japanese course. The kanji 日 and 本 make up 日本 which is Japan! Kanji such as 月 and 火 are used with 曜日 to make days of the week! E.g. 月曜日(げつようび) is Monday! It's meaning is actually Moon Day.

かわいい Hiragana Chart!!

I was browsing Weheartit.com and I stumbled across this adorable hiragana chart! They also apparently have katakana and kanji charts to match, かわいいですね！

日本語の勉強！

Sorry guys for not posting much lately I've had a lot going on! Currently I'm finishing up on school work for Christmas and studying for my Pres, so blog posts will be few and not too often for a while! 

But on the bright side I'm planning a few extra posts on the side such as ones on まんが and アニメ and even the day I spent in Chinatown in London! Hopefully they'll all be on your way soon enough 😄😄

ごめなさい❗️ (I'm sorry!)
