I agree with Mike about how the Levels are assessed, at least in this thread. (Can't someone do something about how the levels are described?)
In terms of functionality and practical usage in the...
Authentic terracotta warriors for your garden?
I have a feeling that they belong in museums... :relief:

As undrentide said, Japanese handheld fireworks (temochi-hanabi) are...
I can't say for sure, but curriculum can change quite frequently (like in, say, five years or so) and also differ by type of school. Also, the schoolteacher has significant elbow room on what part of...
Yes, I've done that, too. And so did my children (now in their 20s).
Well, I meant "Japanese" books--meaning in the Japanese language. I've never seen anything comprehensive written in English.
I think the reading "Hassaku" comes from 八朔 which is the first day of August in the lunar calendar (I think), which is a special day for festivities praying for a good harvest. It is also the name of...

Do you mean "Debuya"?
I like the guys on that show and worry like their mom that they're eating too much and not taking care of their health!!:blush:
But, Papaya Suzuki is OK in that respect,...
KrazyKat,
I can attest to what Hachiro-san is saying.
I don't know how old Hachiro-san is, but, in the 1950's through 1970's when 99% (figuratively speaking) of foreigners in Japan were...
You just have to LEARN them. :relief:
You get help very often with romaji readings of place names in signs posted at railway stations, shopping districts, etc. Otherwise, you have to ask the...
