This is some Japanese words and phrases that I know, thanks to all my friends in Friendster that never get tired to tell me! ^^ My dictionary, a book I use to write all those words are getting worn out already, so I think it’s better to copy it all here! Besides, if you find any mistakes in terms of meaning or spelling, do mind to tell me! I have problems with my own handwriting in the book…T_T
So now, ikimasho! Let’s start! ^^
