For beginner to perhaps intermediate-level students, Japanese words, phrases, and expressions, as learned by an American living in Tokyo. . Some of it I absorbed from my surroundings--slang, abbreviated terms, or new katakana-ized words that have recently entered the Japanese language. Some words are straight-up conventional vocabulary that I've found helpful to know, either in the classroom (where I taught English) or in everyday life, and some words just make me smile.

Wow...I completely forgot HOW I came here and WHAT exactly I was looking for. I just remember a Japanese person tweeted me something I did not fully understand and looked up a few words but I don't know what words let to this blog.
But, I am so happy I found this place! I forgot what I was suppose to do after I zoomed through all your posts, but I learned a few things so that's kinda all that matters XD
Anyways...今から私は未来ブログポストを楽しみします!
Hi Jei,
Sorry for not having responded all this time. I hadn't been checking for comments on my blog, to tell the truth because I never checked on how to do it. I just now noticed that blogger has a "published comments" thing to click on. I clicked on it and read your comment.
こちらこそ、 よろしく お願いします!
