dear,
>>1971
please fix backend, so ikouchan could respect Anon & work without JS

I spy a new banner. Very like.

>>2081
Amazing!

>>2081
I thought nobody would realize I added it
Thank you for your interest!

>>2083
Great!

Gale force winds blow through my city. The smell of dust is everywhere.

>>2034
Awesome!

>>2034
It's been so windy here too
Pollen and strong winds keep preventing me from enjoying this spring

I learned that Satsuki flowers (Rhododendron indicum?) are native to Japan
They are commonly seen flowers to me. I should love them more

It's been too cold here . The winter has decided to come back and bring us up to 25cm of snow on the mountains . No, May snow is not common here.

Do you accept submitted banners?

Beefing up vocabulary takes forever but it could be one of the most fun parts in learning languages
Thinking and expressing thoughts in newly learned expressions or different languages can conjure up one's another selves

With regard to kanjis, I remember I enjoyed learning them as a kid. But it was clear I was a weird child

>>2054
>Do you accept submitted banners?
You mean you are asking if I'm open to adding user-created banners to this site?
There's already been one from this post >>1345

Since I value original contents, dedicated banners created with paintings you painted yourself or photos you took yourself will be welcomed

But personally, I'm not really impressed with the stuff like grabbing some random copyrighted work on the internet, inscribing a logo on it and saying "it's our banner now"

What made you ask me the question?

>>2058
I wanted to make one for ikouchan, or even potentially trade. Your emoji menu inspired me to add one to my own imageboard.
So you like flowers, eh?
I hope my phone camera is equal to the task... It's unfortunate, but my wisteria tree has stopped blooming by now

>>2090
Off course!

Finished reading Shigurui Death Frenzy! Unarguably a very intense masterpiece

>>2079
Amazing!

I made a free account of Comic FUZ to give some wholesome Kirara comics a try

I've been reading Chainsawman, since I wanted to continue where I left off.
I also use Mangazone to read manga too.

>>2088
Awesome!

Cute thread, I'll share my favorite phrase with you. "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining"

>>1917
You did nothing wrong!

>>1914
>Currently on section 2 unit 5
Nice!

>It's so difficult to manage time to learn and try doing a lot of things
Yeah, I think the only way to beat this is to wake up super early.
Otherwise it feels like there's never enough time.

>What comics?
There's a lot of translated manga into Chinese
>>1914
>it's a good thing that you find Duolingo too easy for you
Maybe so, but as they say, a good-enough routine you consistently stick to will beat the best routine you give up on.

僕はね、三日坊主になりました

I am sad to report that I have been hard-stuck @ 10% on the Chinese reading.
It's easy to discard learning Chinese when you have to do work...
On the plus side, I started picking up Japanese again!
Looking forward to memorizing lyrics to some jpop songs

>>1917
>Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining
Thank you for the funny phrase

>>1923
>I think the only way to beat this is to wake up super early
True, I'm forever trying to become a morning person

>a good-enough routine you consistently stick to will beat the best routine you give up on
Yeah I'm always telling myself that done is better than perfect!

>I started picking up Japanese again!
Learning Mandarin and Japanese alternately could be efficient

I've still been doing my Duolingo Spanish lessons little by little, thanks to Duo reminding me of it every day
I feel like I'm seeing more and more Spanish posts and comments on the internet so I guess I should hurry up

>>2065
Hi hello hi!

>>2069
Holy based!

Hi!

>>2073
Awesome!

>>2069
Hello! Greetings! How's your internet wandering going?

>>2073
Hi! How are you!?

>Oban
I've never heard of it. How did you find the anime?

>Have you ever met an otaku IRL and talked about what you like?
I've met many otakus irl but I pretty much never talk about anime irl. I can't organize my thoughts or keep the conversation on

>What are some popular sports in Japan?
I suppose soccer and baseball? I often see people talk about or go watch them

>Hurling
Cool, I've never heard of it. Have you ever played it?

>Have you ever done any sports
I've never been good at any sport. I played ball games like soccer and volleyball only in gym class and I have no good memories of them
I like strolling because it doesn't require any skill to enjoy it

>>1965
Hello. Merry Christmas!
>I've never heard of it. How did you find the anime?
It came up in conversation with a friend and I checked it out.
>Cool, I've never heard of it. Have you ever played it?
No and I don't even really know much about it. When I was a kid I was just god awful at sports I preferred to play video games or watch cartoons at home
>I suppose soccer and baseball? I often see people talk about or go watch them
Oh I've heard of baseball being popular in Japan. If I remember correctly it's because of soldiers post WW2 stationed in Japan missing playing sports they had back home so they taught it to Japanese people, don't quote me on that though. And football is popular no matter where you are

I watched the anime Zunda Horizon for the first time because the official account uploaded it on YouTube
I only knew that the character Zundamon is very popular and I knew nothing else about the project so it was nice to have an opportunity to take a glance of its universe

>>1969
Happy new year!

>When I was a kid I was just god awful at sports
I know what that feels like

I watched Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl on Netflix. I really enjoyed it

I watched the first episode of Little Witch Academia.
Akko is a very Precure-coded protagonist. It looks fun and promising

Pretty good!

>>2040
Awesome!

>>2038
In Japan the number of dentists is known to have somehow outgrown demand for them
I heard it was caused by some laws but I'm not clear on why

I hope you brush and floss your teeth so dexterously that the annual checkups are frequent enough!

>>2040
Hi!

>>2038
I haven't gone to the dentist in too long but I never really had teath issues. Plus a while ago I switched from using toothpaste to salt and it seems to be working far better; though it's also much harsher, I bled a lot at first like when you start flossing.

>>2055
Excellent!

October 10 was Miyako's birthday

>>1940
A Libra, eh?
But then, it's hard to tell if Miyako is fair minded, or simply lax.

Happy new year! 🎊

Hi!

>>2043
You did nothing wrong!

wave your conductor's baton, my friend

>>1706
so upbeat, should be the theme of ikouchan

When I come across rap stuff it comes off mildly juvenile, but that juvenile nature is what makes it endearing
> Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty.
> Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old

I’ve been listening to the new Dream Theater album
