Finally, a Japanese lesson tailored to my linguistic needs! At school the other day, we learned how to say…
I decided to make some tempura, so I put a big vat of oil on the stove. Suddenly, IT CAUGHT FIRE! Help! Help! Thinking quickly, I poured copious amounts of water on it! OH NO! That just made it worse!
So, I guess I won’t have tempura tonight. What about…a nice nabe hotpot? I threw in everything in my refrigerator, but for some mysterious reason, it was…TERRIBLE. So I added some salt. Oops, too salty. I added some sugar. Oops, too sweet. More salt! More sugar! EWWW, DISGUSTING! Everything I tried, just made it worse.
Now that’s a piece of grammar I can use pretty much every day.


Please teach me this!
Ha, O Exalted JLPT二きゅう, I’m sure you already know 〜たら、かえって〜!Like, 薬を飲んだら、病気が悪くなった。( `_’ )
It took me far too long to figure out the kanji for “byouki”! 本当にrustyですね!For my upcoming Japanese bootcamp before they release up to do our science, I have to confess I probably spent two hours composing what was hopefully a semi-coherent事故紹介。
I’m sure that even your “rusty” 日本語 is better than the sometimes hilarious, sometimes horribly insulting Japanese I write on a daily basis!
