Week 10: On Time

In response to being 2 days late okay, 3 days late with this post, I figured the best vocabulary would be words dealing with time.



Also, I've been slacking again, so this weeks review words are just last weeks vocabulary. I haven't really absorbed them yet.

Week 9

Week 8 : Family

Okay, so I managed to find some words that were related (no pun intended) enough to have a theme again.



Also, I went to a restaurant in Tustin called Hondaya (本多屋) which is an izakaya (居酒屋), which is like a Japanese pub. The kanji are from 居る(いる : to be), (さけ : sake) and ( : establishment, shop). So it kinda means a place to sit and drink. The food was incredible. I had takoyaki for the first time, and I've now found a Japanese food to rival my old favorite, okonomiyaki.
