Why this blog???
Jsem Japonka, a studuji češtinu ;)This is the very basic reason for this blog.
...okay, it is way too short for the explanation.
Well, even before I started to learn the language, my Czech friends kept telling me - or maybe threatening me - that it's much complicated language comparing to English.
But in the end, I decided to give it a try!
In my opinion, what makes the language more difficult is declension of adjective and noun.
Japanese also has something of the kind, but with some insight, you can see how it goes.
So all I need is the "insight" and to get used to it!!
But somehow, this "getting used to it" part is not as easy as it is said...
Several days ago, I came up to an idea that if I make an database of declension for Czech words, it could be useful for my own study and maybe for other people studying the language!
At first I tried to make an wiki site, but it didn't work very well with me...(the biggest reason is actually the "language" it's soooo different from what I've known - HTML)
Though, the words I might add to this blog would be very Japanese since I'm gonna need them very much. So if you find this blog not very useful, I say promiňte...
How I figure out the declensions/conjugations
Well, as you can easily see I'm not a native Czech speaker at all!So what I use is a table for all those declension/conjugation pattern.
Which means there must be a lot of mistakes unless it is revised by Czech-natives.
I'll try to get those help as soon as I started the school this September.
But since I want to build as many vocabulary as possible before going to Czech, I'm gonna simply build this database as much as possible without worrying about making mistakes.
Still, if you see any mistakes, please let me know and I'll be correct it with pleasure!
Who is the master?
Jmenuji se Asuka HISANO. Těší mě!As I've mentioned above, I am a Japanese learning Czech.
I'm going to Prague, CZ from September 2012 to study the language, and hopefully, find a job there!
I have learned English since I was in junior high school. When I was in high school, my dad allowed me to go to a language school to develop my English more.
After finishing high school, I went to the US for about 1 year to study English.
Then I started my nomad kind of life; I have been to Australia and Canada with Working Holiday Scheme for 1 year each, and attended to a Danish folk high school.
In Denmark, I somehow met many Czech people and befriended with them. As I get to know them, and spend more time with them, I became very attached to them. At the same time, I got very much interested in the language they use and started to find a way to go back to them.
What I've found out was that studying and living in Czech is not as expensive as in Japan or Denmark.
Also some of my Czech friends encouraged me with the information that there might be a working opportunity for me as a Japanese teacher in language schools or some Japanese companies.
I know I'm way too optimistic, but why shouldn't I?
It's less than a month until I leave for Europe, and I'm sooooo excited about a whole new experiences!!!
