I am so excited…
Last month my wife brought me a English-in-Japan magazine to read and there was an advertising for Japanese, on-line site called Japanesepod101.com !
After browsing inside for a while I signed up for a 7 days trial, I tell u it is so cool… 1 week passed and I registered for the premium member which costs $25 per month!!! u can download lessons to your ipod or learn over the web, with kanji and grammar and also cool lessons about Japan.
It might sounds like I might work for them but it is really helpful and I just wish to share my excitement for this finding. you can learn buy paying for the basic membership or even use a limited version for free, how cool is that?
p.s.- the site has also the same system for few other languages… check it out…

Yesterday I talked to my Yoga teacher, he lives in India and we didn’t speak for almost 2 years… it was good, he was laughing and sending his love and me and my wife were happy to talk to him… he didn’t ask us for anything just to practice more… yep, I want to practice more, I know it is good for me and I enjoy doing yoga… but from some reason I sometimes sits and do nothing… want to get up and do yoga but I don’t… the Yogi say it is an inside battle, between the good and the bad… and I want to be good, to do good, but it is hard with the day’s work and the really entertaining but useless TV in front of me… it is a tough battle in a bloody war… and I cannot give up…in this lifetime or the next… I shall overcome my desires and win…
Living in a different country is challenging, specially a place like Japan.
The difficult thing is not the living, on the contrary, the Japanese people are kind and helpful. but in order to really know what is going on inside the hart of people, you need to explore inner parts which takes time and cautions, and the mother word is one of most importance. only to find out the truth…
So native Japanese is crucial, talking and more important understanding…and it is a pretty complicated mission i say.
This is only my opinion about words…
