    Welcome! What did you do while you were in Japan? Where’d you go? =)

    It’s been almost six years since my trip there…

    Your sentence was fine, but the suggested correction is a little bit friendlier, and a little bit less-subtly trying to elicit an explanatory response.

    This is と functioning as “if” – you’ll learn about it in season six, lesson 1-8. The full sentence is “If I write every day, I think I’ll be come skilled” (with undertones that becoming skilled is a natural and unavoidable outcome of writing every day).

    Sadly, Googling revealed that the last use of the word “Yokosuka” in this forum was longer ago than I remember it being. Most recent was from this thread in January last year – though he does say he’d be there for three years, there’s no mention of the navy. Guess I can try posting to the thread and see if he’s still got e-mail notifications active. =)

    (The navy does get a mention in this thread, but that was from 2012.)

    Could have sworn there were more than that, though. Guess that’s why I should start making a list…

    Listen to podcasts, maybe? I’m not really sure I could suggest anything – I tend to stop listening to things when I’m working.

    The Nakama textbook comes with an audio CD of workbook questions and reading passages. Others do also, I assume.

    Welcome!

    It’s not easy, I’ll grant, but learning a language never is. At least, not for me. Still, practice makes perfect. =)

    Good idea – that’s a very nice place. I’d particularly suggest Fushimi Inari Taisha. Among a great many other things. =)

    Welcome! We seem to be getting a rush of people who are in Japan. =P

    Yokohama or Yokosuka? Cause there’s a few other people here on TextFugu who are stationed at Yokosuka, though I’ve completely forgotten who. One of them joined fairly recently, too. I really should start making a list so I can play study-buddy cupid, or something. =)

    Welcome!

    Kinda envious that you get to live in Tokyo. Get any time for sightseeing?

    Welcome! There’s a few people around here who are stationed at various places around Japan – fairly sure there’s at least one Okinawa somewhere, but I couldn’t really recall who, unfortunately…

    Welcome!

    I was only a small child in the eighties. =P That said, I shouldn’t get smug. There are people running around on the internet these days who were born this millennium…
