So here I was thinking of a game that's fun and productive... and came up with this. It can be fun and it will likely help many of us increase our Japanese vocabulary.

The game goes like this

You give the English meaning, as well as the type of word(verb, noun, adjective, etc.) of the Japanese word posted by the previous person. Then post a Japanese word(give Hiragana if there is Kanji used) for the next person to translate into its English meaning, and the next person will then give a Japanese word.

So, I'll post a word to get this started

始める (はじめる)
 
Post above: Hajimeru
Meaning: Start (or Begin)
Type of word: Noun (I think...?)

Next Up:
ようこそ

I am so sorry for this double post, but just to notify that I came up with something. I had to go to dinner and messed up (someone posted before me), so yeah. Please, excuse this double post.
 
学校 (がっこう)
