性感帯について <- o0 Easy to read, though. Thx for posting XD
And: "誰からもメールが来なかったので自分で自分にメールしました。" <- WTF?!

@jettyke: That with Mother Theresa.. srsly? I mean her person in respect, but--

Well I read maybe half of that link's MT part. Was quite interesting, actually

Wow, Tori, 性感帯について is easy to read for you?
I'm reading it so slowly :/ an it's relatively difficult for me.

Well, I wasn't quite sure how to pronounce the katakanised 'vagina' correctly, but otherwise the constructions were quite 'ok' and I could get at least the gist of what was talked about. (I of course used Rikai-chan for terminological words, see above.)
I doubt I'll read that out aloud for you :X

Ah ok
It took me about 30 minutes to read it with the aid of rikaichan.
And this stuff was full of terminological words too.

The first 2 articles above are the easiest to read. They're at about my level.

Well, with me it's like I need some time to get used to it. Reading it out aloud might require some practice before hand (i.e. before recording), but just reading silently, it was a really informative article o.o (everything [assuming 全身 means 'entire body'] is erogene?!? why didn't I know this earlier :x)

Definitely does need practice but what works is shadowing with text out-loud. I like to make these things into mini projects, that I must complete in order to keep learning more.

Since jettyke has become a Readability crusader...

Something I mention here, re: Readability, is that you can play with the auto-scroll feature (which you can activate/control with keyboard shortcuts) and your reading pace. I haven't worked out anything specific with it, strategy-wise (e.g. related to sound), but it's pretty neat.

Please keep them coming! For some reason I find it much easier to actually stop and read stuff if other people recommend it.

眠気覚ましにも栄養補給にも効く「マテ茶」のススメ

I was going to create a thread, but could you give me some advices on japanese blogs such as lifehacker, though I'm not to interested in technologies.

I want to cultivate myself, but in japanese, I don't read much in my own language (actually I read in my whole life like 4/5 books lol an don't get me wrong, I like reading, but...) and I consider myself not intelligent because I lack vocab (I can't remember words, I'm constantly forgetting, yes in my own language) and I don't want the same to happen in japanese so I'm going to start reading intensively, I want it to become something that relaxes (like books are supposed to).
I also lack common common knowlegde.

Thanks!
