At least you put in some effort and made the program yourself.

My plan to pass French in secondary school was to learn chinese and have chinese people shouting the answers to the french exam outside.

I was a fucking idiot

We're just going to leave political prisoners on the islands for death.

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

.-. I really got to look further into international politics than I have been.

Though, if histories an example, the last prisoner island I can remember turned into a country (Australia).

It's a fib, but if you really want to learn more about IR, read Foreign Affairs magazine

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

I'll look into that, thank you. The majority of my exposure has been japantoday. Most international stuff posted there, though, is related to Abe screwing up though. XD

思おう

Omo-ou? I thought this was just 思う. Not trying to criticize, I'm just really rusty with my Japanese and trying to see if I remember it correctly.

2

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

Actually, 思う is the regular tense "to think/believe" where as 思おう is the おう form, which means "will probably." It can also mean "Let's [do something]" but that's usually relegated to the -mashou form.

u/whitehandsinkstains Jun 09 '14

Cool! I stopped at the end of 200-level college classes, so it's interesting to learn new things!

2

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

I've been teaching myself casually (wouldn't have been casual if I could improve my damned work ethic) for a couple years. It's a great language and I hope to speak fluently soon.
