I have had people correcting everything from informal to formal lol. But why should you care about that? Just write whatever style you want to, you will know which corrections you can use :) I don’t think anyone will be offended by informal Japanese :p
ehh according to the forums 320 days ^^ But that shouldn’t really matter. Every person study at a different pace, and have different amount of time to dedicate towards learning.
I started out slow and it took me 1 month just to learn hiragana :pThanks ←
Yeah my G+ is filled with nothing but AKB members talking about the typhoon lol.

Congrats, Mark :)And since when could you write so much?!I hate how all the people who started TF after me keep overtaking in regard to skill :PI’m just not studying enough, I guess…I planned to do at *least* 1 hour of Japanese per day over the Summer (and maybe look into another language too), and while I still do reviews/add new vocab, it hasn’t really taken off yet >.<I’m such a lazy git.The last 2 months I have had a pretty big leap in my Japanese skill. Looking at my entries from April my have become twice the length during that time lol. The main reason for this was mainly that I realized that I had to study harder if I wanted to pass JLPT4. Also around that time I started casually following idols (only watching like AKBingo once a week). This has then later developed in to watching I guess 30-1h of TV-shows every day and reading a lot on AKBmatome, 2ch & google+. This has been a good motivation towards learning, and it seems like even though I am still a beginner at Japanese at least it has payed off to some extent.
My exams have finished now, so pretty much my entire day is dedicated to Japanese, if it isn’t studying my damn 500-800 daily reviews then since I am following AKB there is plenty of things out there to both read and watch :D
What Missing is saying is true, idols have been a help, and I don’t even know where I found my motivation to study Japanese earlier because I didn’t use it for anything lol. As for Missing’s help, well we chat a lot together each day, and every once in a while I have a question that I can’t find an answer for anywhere on the web.
Get in to AKB, and you will be exposed to a few hours of Japanese daily^^
These are programs I watch every week, and besides these there are a lot of programs I don’t always follow but do watch quite a lot :)

土 AKB自動車部It is good to hear that iknow reordered some of the words on their website, because sometimes the words aren’t very relevant compared to other words at the stage I am at.
I do listen and read to a lot of Japanese media every day, but it is all related to AKB, and I think it is safe to say I won’t see the words, but if I do I will just learn them as they come up. I won’t dig words that I am pretty sure I won’t see in the near future, because I can dig word that will be much more relevant for me right now, so that is why I have suspended them. With that said, I will probably go back and un-suspend a few of them once I have finished core 2k, except for all the words that doesn’t have any use for me.From learning English, I know this is what will benefit me the most. ^^
Your philosophy holds true to some extent Kyle. English is not my main language, and I think I can safely say that I don’t know all words in English and yet I feel like I am able to speak freely(or so I think myself). Most words you might encounter sooner or later, but core has tried to learn me words that I have never seen in English before, and if I haven’t seen them in English before then I honestly don’t see any reason that I should learn them in Japanese, unless I realize they are actually used. For example the other day I met 万年筆. I had no clue what it was in English, and had to do a google photo search for it. Turns out it is a word that is of no use, so of course I suspended it right away. That is the same with words like 横断歩道,免許証,定期券,航空便,カセットテープ. These are all words I suspended during the last 2 days. They are useless to a person that doesn’t live in Japan, and this is why I would rather prioritize what I learn instead of just learning everything because you need to learn the words sooner or later. As I said I don’t know all words in English, and I feel I am able to speak freely, so clearly you don’t have to learn all words.
That being the case, I would rather prioritize.Edit; kyle does actually say “As long as what you are learning is not functionally irreverent” So I guess there was no reason to make this argument lol
Lang-8 CEO tweeted my journal on twitter today lol xD

This is for Japanese learners, but they make a short news article every day, and then translate it to English. Earlier this year I tried to read through it each day, but it is pretty tough so I gave up and started reading G+ updates from AKB-members instead ^^

The site you linked looks much better Elenkis, maybe I will try to start reading news daily again :)
Speaking of news… How many actually don’t know anything about news in their own country but know almost everything that is going on in Japan? I no longer have any clue what is going on in Denmark, but I know which teams Japan are playing against in football lol.It is fine, I am just thankful that you actually give this offer :) As Missing says, please don’t go there only for our(my) fault! I am fine with getting nothing, so don’t worry about it.
昨日の夜中の出来事。
みなるんさんとホテルで泊まってたんだ。
んでみなるんさんは、
1時30分くらいに寝ちゃって。川栄は、寝ながら携帯いじってたのよ。
んで2時過ぎくらいに←
上の階からめっちゃ足音聞こえたのよ。
5分くらいだったかな。それを朝起きてみなるんさんに言ったら。
『えっ、ここ最上階だよ( ﾟдﾟ)』
って言われて。もう川栄凍りついたよね。
んでフロントの人にも『屋根裏部屋ありますか？』
とかめっちゃ聞いたんだけど『なんにもないです！』
って言われたんだ。
しかも屋上とかないホテルだったから。
ホントに最上階だったの。ネズミ？ゴキちゃん？
でもホントに人が歩いてる音だった(T_T)いや。あれか。ネコちゃんかっ！！
そうだ。きっとネコちゃんだよね。うん。

It is only annin that can perform a better voice, I think I must’ve read the question wrong.マーク・ウェーバー:
6. What is the second scenario? What is Maria’s reaction to it?
The scenario the second listener wants them to do is: You have washed your hands, what would you say to a boy who hasn’t got a ハンカチ.
I think this is the reaction: そのもてねぞ – You should have that! (not at all sure)そうなんじゃもってねぞ
Okay listened to it again this morning, and there are a few things I would change
10. Where does the asker of the 4th question live and what is his/her scenario?
東京
Something about a date, and a telephone doing something during the evening lol. They are talking about maybe it would appropriate to apologize, and are all a bit surprised by the question. うううううううああああああああ？？？ 何？デート中？This is what I hear this time around:
デート中喧嘩をしてしまい会ってしまった彼に夜電話したい人事
