I learned a nifty phrase today, which ‘ve heard many times (watching anime lol)  and finally know what it means.

がんばって ください - Please try your best

In finding this out I’ve found that ganba がんば is “go for it” or “keep at it”

I just need to keep telling myself this & everyone else trying to learn Japanese.
がんばって ください!!

Over the last bunch of posts, there’s been lots of numbers!(1-20, 20-100, 100-1000!)  And this one will be no exception, hehe. Now We’ll be doing 1,000-10,000!

I’m pretty sure the next will be the last *strictly* numbers post for a while. We’ll get to time & age soon.

Like with the rest if the Japanese numbers there’s a system. With the exception of 1000 (which is せん [sen] all by itself,)  you take the number & stick せん (sen) to the end of it. 2000 is にせん (nisen), and 5000 is ごせん (gosen). And also like the others, there are irregulars. Keep an eye out for 3000 さんびゃく (sanzen) & 8000 はっぴゃく (hassen)
