The Doodling Continues<\/H2><\/p>\n

Here are the latest Doodle Jams between me and Merc007. The sillyness will continue into 2018 if I can get my butt in gear and send her some more.<\/p>\n

Princess On My Back<\/H2>
\nMy addiction to the Legend of Zelda on my new Nintendo Switch continues unabated. The story will end, probably, before my next BradBlog entry. Unfortunately, I see Civilization 6 eyeing me from the corner of my PC, hoping for its chance to eat all my free time.<\/p>\n

Pounding the Brick Wall<\/H2><\/p>\n

The observant among my readers might have noticed that I still employ my meager Japanese skill on this web site. I also practice as much as I can in the language-learning\/social-networking app called HelloTalk. And I still hit the flashcards irregularly. But I have not had a live speaking partner for a long time. That changed near the beginning of the year when a native-Japanese-speaking English speaker approached me on HelloTalk looking for a conversation partner over Skype. We have met a few times now and the time has been really useful. After all these years away from Japan, speaking is really difficult, but it is still the best way to commit grammar patterns to memory.<\/p>\n
