漢字学習 ・ Studying Kanji｜long island sound 今度は僕の漢字能力検定を対象にしている勉強の仕方について書きたいと思います。全くつまらないことでとても面白く読まれそうもないけど、誰かの役に立てるかもしれないし、僕にとってとても身近なことなのでちゃんとこの日記で筆記したいです。こんな風に勉強して、５００字位しか知らなかった、それに音訓の事等把握していなかった、初心者の頃から、４箇月という僅かな時間で日本語能力試験１級に合格できるようになりました。 This time I've decided to write about the methods I use in studying for the Kanji Kentei. Granted it's not a very interesting topic, but there's a chance it might prove useful to some readers, and anyway considering the amount of time I spend doing it in a day it's quite a familiar subject so I want to make sure to record it here. Using this method I was able to go from knowing a paltry 500 or so characters (although at the time I didn't understand the concept of On-Kun readings), to a level capable of passing the JLPT1 in a mere 4 months.
Ten Anime Films You Should See Before You Die One of the most surprising, and gratifying, things that has happened since I started my blog, Tim Maughan Books, a year or so ago is the positive feedback I’ve had for the anime reviews—especially from people I know are far from being massive fanboys like myself. It’s gratifying because its part of the reason I started writing them; to try and introduce the medium to people who had never really indulged in it all, at least not past perhaps watching Spirited Away with their kids. The problem is, once you’ve had your first taste, where do you go next? Type ‘anime’ into Google and the results are bewildering, and without a little bit of guidance and a quality filter finding something to watch can be a daunting task. There’s a lot of shit out there, plus a lot of stuff that isn’t really meant for you…unless you’re a ADHD stricken 12 year old emo-ninja-obsessed boy that refuses to eat anything except Pocky and instant Ramen. Akira (1988)

Backlash against Miyazaki is generational If you haven’t lived in Japan, it’s hard to appreciate just how beloved are anime maestro Hayao Miyazaki and his creative hub, Studio Ghibli. Annual surveys of Japanese consumers often find that Ghibli is their favorite domestic brand, ahead of stalwarts such as Toyota and Sony. Miyazaki’s animated epics regularly top the domestic theatrical market. “Kaze Tachinu” (“The Wind Rises”), his latest film — loosely based on the life of engineer Jiro Horikoshi, designer of Japan’s wartime Zero fighter plane — soared above its box office rivals for seven consecutive weeks after its July release. Meanwhile, his Oscar-winning “Spirited Away” (2001) remains the top-grossing film in Japanese history, knocking aside Hollywood live-action contenders such as “Titanic” and the “Harry Potter” films. But the rest of the world has been catching up.
