Here Are Some Colors, A Couple Vocab, And Grammar! Sorry I Haven’t Been Posting Much Lately. School

for study snack day of the October Study Challenge, here’s the apple spice mug cake recipe I mentioned here!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp (30g) all purpose flour

¼ tsp baking powder

2 tsp granulated sugar

1 ½ tbsp (22.5ml) milk

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp (30g) applesauce

2 tbsp (16g) chopped apples

Directions:

put all ingredients except apples into microwave safe mug

mix with fork until smooth

stir in apple cubes!

cook in microwave for about one minute. (if needed, cook for additional 15 seconds)

sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top and eat! (careful, it’s hot!)

Notes:

try to use a sweeter variety of apple, otherwise your cake will come out a little tart. cut the apple into cubes about ½ inch in size.

for an extra treat, scoop on some ice cream or add whipped cream!

feel free to mess around with the amounts a little to get the texture and flavour you like the most - there’s a whole bunch of recipes for cakes just like this out there on the internet!

There’s this theory that in any given language, there are 600 basic words that are really, really good to know, because, you guessed it, they are the most common. Up next: a long list of determiners, including numbers (below the cut because wow, long).

this　－　これ

that　－　それ・あれ

my　－　私の（わたし）

your　－　あなたの

his　－　彼の（かれ）

her　－　彼女の（かのじょ）

It’s a bit rude to use ‘his’ and ‘her’ like this (and 彼女 by itself often means ‘girlfriend’, too), so often you’d use [name]の instead for the same result.

its　－　Nounの

our　－　私達の（わたしたち）

all　－　全部（ぜんぶ）・全て（すべて）

some　－　何らか（なん）

no　－　ありません・ない・なし

any　－　何でも（なん）

many　－　たくさん

much　－　多い（おお）

more　－　もっと

a few　－　少ない（すく）

several　－　複数（ふくすう）

whole　－　全体（ぜんたい）

a little　－　少し（すこ）

a lot of　－　大いに（おお）

both　－　両方（りょうほう）・とも

neither　－　も (In a negative sentence!)

each　－　それぞれ

every　－　毎〇〇

Ex.　毎年（まいとし）＝every year

other　－　他の（ほか）

another　－　もう

same　－　同じ（おなじ）

different　－　違う（ちがう）

such　－　そういう
