		<description><![CDATA[Normally I hate blog posts that just links to another blog that links to another blog that links to the primary source, especially when I&#8217;m subscribed to both blogs. Just give me the source, I don&#8217;t need your one line comment and link!
Nevertheless, I read a blog post about language learning methods and felt an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some things in Japanese just seem to lose their cool when translated into English.
I&#8217;m sure there are examples where the reverse is true but it&#8217;s much easier for me to come up with these examples.
Fighting words
「ぶっ倒してやる！」 (Cool) -> &#8220;I&#8217;m going to beat you!&#8221; (Not cool)
Technique/Spell/Summon Names
「螺旋丸！」 (Maybe Cool) -> &#8220;Spiraling Round [Thing]!&#8221; (Definitely not cool)

It&#8217;s a real world implementation of some of my ideas for a better flash card program. Instead of having to create your own index [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[みなさん、日本語で書かれている面白いブログ、ご存知ないですか？英語のブログをたくさん読んでますけど、日本語のブログは全然です。
人気ブログランキングがあるんですが、範囲が広すぎて、面白いブログを探すのがめんどくさいです。有名人のブログも人気あるようですが、個人的にはあまり好きじゃないし、私みたいな凡人よりもっと面白い人生を送っているようで、なんかムカつきます。
ちにまに、私が読んでいるブログは、この日本語教師のブログぐらいです。日本語に興味なくても、なかなか面白いですよ。
コメントで面白いブログをシェアーしましょう！
最後に．．．（もう遅いけど）
あけましておめでとうございます！
今年もよろしくお願いします。これからも、コメントをじゃんじゃん書いてね！

		<description><![CDATA[I was taking a look at last year&#8217;s admissions test for the Japanese Applied Linguistics Graduate program at Waseda and there are some very interesting and intriguing questions.
Here&#8217;s a small sample:
G　JSLの子どもを対象にした日本語学習教材について述べなさい。
B　CLL (Community Language Learning) について説明しなさい。
H　「総合型教科書」 について述べなさい。
You can download the whole file at:

It seems like there&#8217;s a lot of research and things going on for teaching [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following up from yesterday&#8217;s post about index card programs, I stumbled upon Jonathan&#8217;s blog and his post about spaced repetition software by following his comment link.
I won&#8217;t talk about them here because as we all know, I think they all suck. Why is it that these programs never think about sharing index cards, community ranking [...]]]></description>

I have all sorts of random thoughts and ideas that are too short for a マジポスト (real-post) so hopefully this new category will allow me to post more often.
(Yes, as a matter of fact, I am making these words up as I go.)
Personally, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post since I&#8217;ve been very lazy lately. I just wanted to ask: Is there anybody in the world that learned how to write Japanese with James W. Heisig&#8217;s Remembering the Kanji? And notice I didn&#8217;t say Kanji because I&#8217;m sick and tired of hearing people say, &#8220;Yeah, I learned like 2,000 kanji [...]]]></description>
