More than 160 japanese proverbs

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

The french version of the japanese proverbs started in 2005 contains more than 160 proverbs ! I just started the english translation here : japanese proverbs. Each proverb is explained and an english equivalent is given where possible. Feel free to participate to the translation or other parts of the wiki on japanese and french languages. Sharing your own knowledge of the japanese language will help you to memorize and give you the chance to verify that your understanding of the japanese language is correct. In 2007 I will focus on 四字熟語 (YoJiJukuGo) “4 Kanji expressions (french version)” and on the translation of the japanese proverbs list. I hope that you will make tremendous progress in your study of the japanese language in 2007.

This is your 15th french-stereo trip for Japan ! This time I invite you to 新勝寺 (ShinShôJi) “the buddhist temple ShinShôJi” commonly known as 成田山 (NariTaSan). After a short presentation of the history of this temple and 真言智山派 (ShinGon ChiSan Ha) “the ShinGon ChiSan branch of buddhism”, you will be able to enjoy the buddhist ritual from Naritasan. This is the perfect occasion to think about what 2006 meant for you and what you are expecting for 2007. I wish you a happy new year 2007 !
