皆様, こんにちにゃあぁ！Welcome to Kiki+Koko: Let’s NihonGO!! Online, the ever-growing library of Japanese language learning resources. However, we’re not only here to provide you with information, but to also provide you opportunities to actually properly learn said information! Sure, we could simply leave it up to you to learn on your own, and you can definitely make a multitude of self-guided activities based on the information, but we still feel it’s important to give opportunities to test your skills or simply practise the materials! Last time, we reached for the ✨星ほし✨ with a quiz on Basic Space Vocabulary | SIDE A, during of which we put your skills to the test! This time, we’ll be continuing with another quick but useful quiz in which we turn the tape over to Basic Space Vocabulary | SIDE B where you’ll be tested on whether or not you know the basic vocabulary of your solar system~!

Now, last time, if you’ve been keeping up with us, you’ll know that we gave you a bit of a head start in this proverbial space race, so we reckon it important to give you a bit more than simply testing your knowledge through text alone. Because reading and recognition will certainly be important to many of those looking towards becoming fluent in Japanese, we’ll be including some of QUIZBO™くん’s special ‘sound bytes’. However, if you’re not in a position to listen to audio for those questions, then you can simply rely on the romanisation. This can be very useful practise even for those learning hiragana, as it can be a way of applying said knowledge. And, there’s something quite rewarding about actually applying your knowledge after just a bit of rote memorisation. Speaking of which:

If you’re simply unaware of each of the planets in this particular solar system, or you’d just like a bit of time to study beforehand, you can have a look at the main lesson in which these vocabulary words originated. And, remember, there’s no reason why you can’t use this quiz as more of a study tool, as well. Just refer back to the readings of each vocabulary word as said by QUIZBO™ after you get the answer to each question, and then you’ll be able to engage your auditory senses for an even fuller learning experience!

君ならできる☆You can do it!

Before we begin: We mentioned him in the intro, and now he’s here to help! We have our computer friend, QUIZBO™, here in his mini form to read applicable words aloud to you. Press the 「▶」button and listen to the pronunciation for the applicable questions, then select the equivalent word in its Japanese text. We’ll include hiragana and kanji for beginners and intermediate learners. And, again, if you’re unable to hear the sound ‘bytes’, you can use this as an oppertunity to practise converting romanised words into its Japanese script. (This is essential for most typing in Japanese~!)

Without further ado: Let’s NihonGO!!

Wowee! That was more than a few vocabulary words. Did you get all of them correct? Maybe you struggled with a few of them? Either way, no worries! You can refresh this and give it another go as many times as you wish! If you’re doing you’re best, you’re already reaching for the stars! Though it’s always important to give it your best, it’s almost more important to be patient with yourself. It takes light years to reach other planets, so think of the journey towards learning new vocabulary as only a tiny fraction of that. At least you can stay in the comfort of your own atmosphere whilst studying these. In any case, we hope that this has been a mental workout of sorts that has helped you train with your properly equipped Japanese language learning tools. Whether your journey takes you to The Moon and back or keeps you on your home planet, we’ll be there every parsec of the way!

Hopefully this equipped you with what you need, and again, no worries if you didn’t get all of the dozen words correct. You can simply break them up into different sessions if you need to. In future, we’ll have study guides available at our Patreon which we’ll link to. But, more importantly, you may have noticed learning is a bit easier when you can read. Feel free to take a look at our Reading and Writing sections to revise / review / study, if you’ve already stayed up-to-date, or take your time and go through them at your own pace.

If you want to make sure your Japanese language survival kit is stocked with the latest tools, you can make sure you stay up to date by subscribing to the Electronic Mailing List of Tomorrow, today, found usually at the bottom of the site page or the sidebar on desktop. You’ll get the latest tools and resources to surviving in Japanese language in straight to your inbox. That’s articles, videos, podcasts, and more.

Grooving to the content we’re creating? You can leave a TIP in the TIP♡JAR  to keep it going! 
(Can’t? No worries! The content is free for everyone! We’re just glad you’re here!! Bring friends if you like~!)

Speaking of which, we want to continue to ensure your steps to success in your Japanese language learning goals, whether you want to just learn a bit for fun or become fluent. You can ensure the continuation of the creation of new and even better content by leaving a TIP in the TIP♡JAR to keep it going. But! You can also support the content when you purchase any artwork from ieindigoeast.redbubble.com for now. (We’re going to transition away from Redbubble due to their issues with copyright fraud from large companies, such as udiostay iblighay, [pig latin-ised to be safe] and just generally being unhelpful towards independent artists with original artwork versus large corporations fraudulently claiming ownership of independent artists’ copyright.) But, if there’s something that isn’t from our theme, you can always drop Indigo East a ‘Bubblemail’ if you want to specify that you would like it to go towards this content. Or for long or even short term contributions, you can join our Patreon where our gracious host, Indigo East, usually posts behind-the-scenes, sneak-peeks, exclusive content, and more. And, we join in as well! Again, if you’d like to support  our survival and the creation of more content to be made available to as many people as possible, you can also share the content! You can easily share via Twitter and Pinterest where you can retweet and repin respectively without even having to type! Gestures like that go a long way, and we appreciate it. We just want to do our best to fulfil our mission.

Thank you for joining us! We hope that you continue with us on this adventure, and we appreciate that you’ve chosen us to assist you on your Japanese learning journey.

Stay Safe!!
