Bikurishita!!

Wow 11 days and no posts!! Either nothing is going on on my life or...I don't know what! Maybe a combination of both. Just so you know, I am know a katakana master. I finally completed the transition tonight. All I had left was my r sounds and my y sounds but I really have been lazy for about a week. But I actually knew most of them already because I had been able to guess their sounds from reading katakana in the gym and whatnot. It really has opened up a whole new world for me in the gym-I can actually read some simple machine instructions and schedules. Here are some examples. See if you can translate them from katakana into normal english.

• kwi-ku stah-to
• sto-pu
• te-nee-sue ko-ru-toh
• she-toe (picture a weight machine instruction here)
• cheh-su-to
• sue-pee-do
• sha-wah
• roh-keh-ru

Ok those were all things from a weight gym context. You should probably be able to get most of them. If you're having trouble, then look at the sounds and then close your eyes and say it so that your eyes aren't tricking you.

Here are a few more that I'm getting from my kids book-they have nothing to do with the gym-I'll try to provide a little hint for each.

• keh-key (a sweet desert)
• meh-ro-N (a fruit)
• rah-ee-oh-N (an animal)
• new-doh-rue (another food)
• mee-rue-ku (a drink)
• nah-ee-fu (a tool maybe)
• heh-ru-meh-to (for a hockey player maybe)
• ah-ee-roh-N (keeps your shirts looking nice)

Ok that's all for not. Post your answers if you want. The winner gets my respect-don't cheat and look at other peoples' answers!!
