Don't worry-I edited my post. Quote:
Don't worry-get a load of this: when one of the classes from school went to Japan and one of the boys saw a pretty Japanese girl there, he kept saying 「嫌い」kirai to her instead of 「綺麗」 kirei. AHAHAHA LOL (大笑) バカなんて。。。 What an idiot...

I consider myself very very lucky. There were only two schools in the stretch of two whole counties that taught it. I almost took German instead....and then I discovered anime and said "NO WAY am I taking German now if they have Japanese!"

Even though English is not a bad language. It has a lot of problems not just in grammatical aspect, also in conversational manner.
It lacks the formality Asian language has. It only works in a certain circumstance. Another thing is how direct the language has to be. If you speak in a subtle manner, the listener doesn't understand you. I only noticed that aspect because I read an article of difference between English, Spanish and Japanese. |

You came through in Japanese. よって、私も(できる限り)自力で英語を書きます。(`・ω・´) On,I must write the English myself. おはようございます(・ω・) Good morning! Quote:
Me too. 日本語を学ばれているのですね You are studying English,aren't you? 日本に住みたいのですか Would you like to live in Japan? それは楽しみです! It's pleasure! 馬鹿な夢などではありません!(`・ω・´) 日本のどこに住む予定ですか? Are you planning where reside in Japan ? 私は大阪府堺市に住んでいます I live in Sakai city in Osaka. Quote:
I have question for you. あなたに日本語を教えている先生はどこの国の出身ですか? What country your Japanese teacher from? 日本人ですか? Is it Japanese? ----------------------- あなたを侮辱するわけではありません I don't insult to you. ですが、あなたの日本語は直すべき個所があると思います。(´・ω・`) But,I think your Japanese should correct. 将来、日本人と話す時にあなたが困らないためです。 For you don't have a difficulty at talk at Japanese in future. 細かい部分ですが、大きな違いがあります。 It's subtle,But it have a big difference. 例えば For example Quote:
I think "mazui"word meaning is "oisikunai" in general Japanese. まずい=not delicious=おいしくない です。 この場合は、「下手(heta)」もしくは「不得手(fuete)」「不得意」と言い換えた方が良いと思い ます。 In this case,I think say in other words "heta" or "fuete". 下手=poor/bad/weak=不得手/不得意 しかし、私はあなたの日本語がそれほど悪いとは思いません。 But,I don't think your Japanese bad so. これはあくまで謙遜の意です。 This word meaning is humility. Quote:
Not "ni","de"is good. もしも「に」にするのでしたら、「に」と「オタク」の間に「すると/言い換えると」が入れば自然です。^^ 「英語にするとオタクはGeekです」「英語に言い換えるとオタクはGeekです」 Quote:
This word isn't that good. 意味は通じます。ですが、あまりよく思われないでしょう。 Meaning is told,But it isn't well thought by Japanese. 何故なら、「あの女」は日本人に侮蔑の意味を込めて使われるからです。 Because,"ano onn na" is used connotation for indignity by the Japanese. 「女性(josei)」または「彼女(kanojo)」の方が良いです。^^ "Josei"or"konojo" is better than "ono onn na" おせっかいでしたらごめんなさい(´・ω・`) I'm sorry when meddlesome.(´・ω・`) Quote:
Thank you! アニメの方が面白いというのはとても嬉しいです。 I'm glad very much,Because anime is more interesting than AmericanTV by you. 私の英語はおそらく変です Probably my English is strange. お許しを Please allow. |

I think of anime
Anime is awesome... since I was hooked in Sailor Moon (>,<V I was just in elementary guys!!!, I can't help watching another anime one after another... Now that I'm an adult I'm still hooked up to it. My Pc is stuff of downloads.
It sure fits my love for drawing and sketching... and all my drawings are all anime style. I often dream to either be an animator, novelist, a mangaka or a anime director... anime is awesome... Its became my life... my passion |

Interesting useless fact. English, as it it today, is formal English. The informal English is what vanished centuries ago. The informal is what the Quakers used and the style of the King James' Bible.

Tatsuyama-san, could you check out the short videos of animation from outside Japan that I posted here? I want to know what you think of them if you don't mind.
Could you also tell me if you have watched any animation from outside Japan before? And if you have, what did you think of it?

Also, English is pretty hard to learn (especially in speaking department) due to some inconsistency (in sound) in it. For example: the pronunciation of the letter “U” in words like “cut” and “put”. If English is consistent, how can they sound different?

English is a multi-cultural polyglot language that has slurped up words from all over Europe, extinct languages, and now all over the world. Naturally, its full of duct tape, gum, goo, and wirewrap. Languages that were fairly regionally isolated (like Japanese or Scandinavian languages) are very simple in some respects but usually have advanced levels in nuance of social references (class, intimacy, etc).

I think it's beautiful how he loves Mitsuki-chan so whole-heartedly. Actually he's first place for my favorite character in all of anime, manga, TV, movies, and books. 満月ちゃんも可愛いよね^^ Mitsuki-chan is cute too. あ、気になることありますが、あなたの名前を日本語で書く文字はなんですか? もしかして名字は「竜山」? それとも違います?^^; Ah, there was something I was wondering but what are the characters for writing your name in Japanese?

And while Indian, Malay etc. may have more ways to refer to a common object in Nature and have more layers of formality, they don't have as extensive a literature or anywhere near as extensive the scientific Jargon. English has a lot more words than most people use actively you know. And English assimilates words like crazy so a lot of "foreign" words that are used only in regional English are still part of the language. It's complicated but I stand by my claim that English offers a larger vocabulary than most languages. Perhaps I should say more ways to express yourself rather than use a technical term like vocabulary though. Also, English isn't consistent and it doesn't need to be. It's inconsistency is part of its charm. And just because it isn't consistent doesn't mean it's hard to pick up. It's really easy to pick up functional English not only because the language doesn't punish you harshly even if you mess up (compared to languages like Chinese or Vietnamese or Sanskrit or Arabic) but also because our world is saturated with it.
