Learning Japanese with SEM3 Part 1

And now I will attempt to memorize 100 basic Japanese words using Tony Buzan’s SEM3 from Master Your Memory. I must admit I didn’t have much fun with the Russian words in the last four weeks. I think the Japanese language should be more interesting as we do have Japan Hour and on TV regularly and the sounds of the words are more familiar. Using the SEM3, I will attempt to link the image of the peg word, the English Word and the Japenese Word plus the action for the SEM3. The words in 5400 zone are to be associated with the action “Rubbing” and my character will be a Japanese Sumo Wrestler.

5001 – tie, An,a, Hitotsu no – Sumo Wrestler is rubbing his tie. On his tie, there is a big “A”. He is wearing that tie because “he told you so,” said his friend. (Hitostsu no)

What shall I do?

I’m now learning how to use photoshop elements. I thought I might share my knowledge online in this blog when I get good at it. I hope to improve the quality of my photographs before posting them online. Well, this is a possible agenda for this blog site…and…recently I’ve been interested in learning something about herbs and spices too. How about blogging about herbs and spices or something like how to save money?..... I need to do some research and write my piece first before this can materialize. Yep, lots of hard work is required….look out for it. In the near future.  I’ll take this as a learning journey. That’s what this blog Fragments is all about.  My journey to make the most out of life and to say that I’ve been there and done that. Cheers!
