Someday, yes. However I am incredibly poor right now (which is why I’m self-teaching Japanese instead of finding a tutor tbh) so such a trip is a loooong way off. Have you ever been?
Interesting, I had never heard of the connection to Cookley. We always assumed it was a Welsh thing, because of the numerous landmarks in Wales that share the name. I knew about the pottery because every time I’ve googled myself out of curiosity the pottery is the only thing that shows up :)
I tend to avoid Google translate for precisely that reason. It’s good in a pinch, but I’m especially wary of using it to decipher loan words and certainly never for kanji.
Is this a nickname or a pronunciation guide for “Colclough”?
Both :) “Colclough” is pronounced “Coke-LEE” and I go by my last name to everyone outside my immediate family. I usually spell it phonetically online. ゲイル…hmm, not sure where Google translate got that. コケリ,コーケリ or maybe コキリ were going to be my guesses.
Thank you for the suggestion to check out the Japanese wiki for name pronunciation! I shall keep that in mind for future reference.
Hi Dylan!
It is nice to meet you. I’m doing well, how are you today?
How long have you been studying Japanese? I starting learning Japanese a month and a half ago. However, my first two weeks I only practiced reading and writing hiragana and katakana. Self-studying a textbook the past month only confused and frustrated me, so I decided to start over. I only started to use Textfugu today. Are you using studying materials besides Textfugu?
