Hello everyone, I hope that I'm doing this right. I will admit, I'm still getting used to using this, so please be patient with me.

I was curious, for those who struggle with reading or writing here: do you have any tips? I feel like I'm slowly making progress, but it's frustrating when you can't read most of what you find in the library. I think I saw something about learning, but I may be mistaken.

Alternately, is there anyone who wants to put together small study groups for those of us who aren't as proficient with reading and writing in Japanese? Does something like that exist? If not, would anyone be interested?

Maybe, but I'm afraid that a dictionary might be a bit too advanced for me overall, unless in very specific circumstances. I want to be able to read and learn everything that I can, and having this roadblock in front of me is disheartening.

With so many people recommending I contact him, I may just. It feels a bit odd doing so without a formal introduction, but I may just throw caution to the wind and try anyhow.

I suppose so. There might be light-weight dictionaries somewhere though, for beginners or something. I can't guarantee it but it'd make sense if it did.

If you need I can help with getting in touch with him. Other people probably can help too, if they've mentioned him. You can throw it to the wind though no problem.

That does make sense; I should have thought of something like that. I'll be sure to be on the look-out next time I'm out shopping.

I think I'll be all right, but I may wait a bit just to be sure. With my luck, he will see this posting and respond himself. It's unlikely, but wouldn't that be nice?

In the meantime, are there any other reading materials you might suggest? Books I may look into? What are some of your favorites?

I hope that you find something that you can use then. And if you’re sure. Maybe he will.

My favorites are those with a bunch of facts, since I like learning facts. Otherwise I guess I’ve read a couple fairy tales I liked, there are a lot of those in one section, from all over.

I'm sure I will, it's just a matter of when and where. But thank you.

Learning facts? About anything, or is there a particular subject you're interested in? And what kinds of fairy tales? I imagine those would be easy to read as well, maybe you could give me a few suggestions.

Yep, about anything really, I like knowing a lot of things of different variety. All kinds of fairy tales, there's things from all over the world. Like the Brothers Grimm, H.C. Andersen, and other things like Native American folktales and Chinese legends and a bunch of other things.

[rememberher]

I'm much the same myself. After all, being able to draw inspiration for things from a multitude of different sources is important. It makes for a more rounded person in general.

Speaking of which, what is that at the beginning of your message? Is something wrong with your keyboard?

[smilingbullet]

[ More rounded person...huh. ]

I guess it does do that. I never thought of it that way before.

Oh! No, it's a face, it's called kaomoji or japanese emoji, there's tons of different kinds, with all kinds of moods and stuff.

[rememberher]

I've never heard of those. Do other people use them? I'm not sure I've seen one on the network before.

[smilingbullet]

Some people do, it depends really, from person to person.

[rememberher]

I see. That is interesting, I'll be curious to see how many people use them in the future, then.

[smilingbullet]

Probably won’t be super many, but the more people use them the more people will start, I guess?
