Hello!!people of the world!
Japan is very dangerous now(´□｀；)
North Korea struck TEPODON…
>>70
I like book＾＾
I like SF and fantasy!!
It is not unusual that the anime is made from the novel in Japan.
I often read the original of the anime.
>>71>>72>>73>>74
Thank you(｀・ω・´)
I want also to remember English like you!
>>67
The Japanese is kind^^
Please talk if there is a Japanese in your surroundings.
The Japanese is shy(〃▽〃)
>>75
It is Sazae-san as said >>77san.
Sazae-san's character begins to dance from among the fruit at ending song.
It is mimicked by other cartoons.
By the way, Sazae-san is an anime broadcast longest in Japan^^
>>76
It will not Kamichu(゜∀゜；)
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)
最近レス無いなー
What exactly made you want to learn English? I want to learn Japanese because... well, I don't know. I just like it!

I like foreign countries.
Of course, I like Japan,too.
There is a wonderful culture in Japan.
I want to teach it to an overseas person.
Moreover, there is a culture wonderful as for foreign countries.
I want you to teach it.
The reason why you want to study Japanese is surely the same as me( ＾ー゜)b
I will come every day because the examination was over!!(^▽^)
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)
>>82
sageろよな

'sup Japaneseさん
What kind of examination? Also, where in Japan do you live?
Oh, and you don't have to apologize for your English. We get it, it's not perfect, still, it's much better than any average Japanese.
ＩＤは下げるとＨｅａｖｅｎになります。
We Japanese always apologize before we do something.
I love American dramas, Fullhouse, The A team, Macgyver, Columbo, Startrek, etc...
And I also love English literature.
This is why I want to learn English.
>>85

This blog is by a japanese guy born in Japan but raised in US.
Contains humor and inner perspective in both english and japanese.

As I studied english,
check out or buy textbook at first.
But The best way to study Japanese is watching Japanese video with english sub.
Watching Yawnful TV is not good.
So,How is watching you tube hahaha
There are so many japanese tv programs with english sub.
Hello!!people of the world!
I am energetic though midnight of now(^▽^)
>>84
Thank you!!
My English seem to be an American?
If you think so, it is terrible and it is glad!(^ー^)b
>>85
It agrees on what you say.
Think it to be a Japanese merit(´ω｀)
>>88>>89
何か,Good evening!!(Japan is a night. )
Thank you for the question!
The my personal observation, it answers.
1,I'm sorry. What meaning is sataandagi?(＞＜)
2,I like China!Because China is delicious the dish.
I am not a hypocrite.I doesn't know the history in detail^^;
3,I think that buy the textbook as >>89!!
I heard that Japanese is very difficult(It is not actually felt that I speaks^^)Do your best!!!
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)
Saataaandagi taste like doughnuts.
It's dry but sweet. It's so delicious.
Saataaandagi is also known as sugar tempura.
You can eat Saataaandagi in Okinawa or Okinawa restaurants.
It isn't a Japanese food, but an Okinawan traditional food.
So, most of Japanese who have never been to Okinawa or its restaurants don't know it.
You watched AzumangaDaiou, don't you?
I like this anime and manga very much!
>>89
I found this blog. It could be useful for you.

To learn grammar first is the most efficient way to learn another language.
Aaag! right now it's almost 1 A.M and i cant think of anything to ask you!!! ( >Α<)
I think it isnt important but i want to somehow present myself
I'm 18 years old and I study in one of Madrid's universities, in Spain. if you want to ask me something you can too! i would be honored!
I have always wanted to make friends from japan, so when i saw this thread i was so happy!
Please, let me ask questions to you too! And i'm sorry if my english is too hard to read, i'm not very good either...
Well, let me ask some questions!
When i visited japoan, in narita (?) airport one of the girls showed us the way to our bus and when she went out of the bouilding she turned around to me and said "あつい〜〜！" smiling! I was shocked! I thought japanese people was very diferent to what mangas usualy show, but that definitely a manga reaction!
Do japanese people act like manga characters in some way or another?
And another one:
Why do almost all japanese girls have such a sweet voice? Or its only sweet to us the spanish?
（ 〜ω〜） It was so great〜
Thank you for your time!
眼謝について意見は？
What is gansya ?
I'm a Japanese ,but I've never heard such a Japanese word ?
probably,it's a sort of filthy word that is used by a pervert
like you.

>>96
a sweet voice ? Oh, I see .
We call them gurriko..ぶっりっ子
ぶっりっ子means pretend to be cute or something,,,it is so difficult to explain.
the word is derived from a female Japanese pop singer,Seiko
Matsuda. She was at her best in 1970's
when she was singing her song at that time,she often winked away as if she coqueted with men.
so we called her カワイ子ぶりっ子back then.
カワイ子means cute,prrtty,etc.
and generally speaking,japanese girls tend to be ぶっり子
You know ,they are so self-conscious.
>>100
LOL How old are you!? Must be more than 35.
I haven't heard the dead word "ぶりっ子" for about 20 years.
>>96
Japanese has pitch accent.
We regard high-pitched accent as polite in unconsciousness.
When Japanese women talk on phone, they talk on deadly high-pitched accent.
They think it polite and it make themselves more charming.
Even when men talk on phone with their superior, you can hear they talk high-pitched.
It made you tempted, I think.
But gaijin who don't like Japanese regard it as childish or unnatural.
http://www.jliu.org/CAJLE/cajle_essay-1.htm
This article will give you more explanation about it.
>>60
hi, Do you still check this thread?
i worked for an English education company.
so i know how a japanese company employs a native english teacher.
first, we prefer someone who has a proper VISA.
if you can get working holiday Visa, at least you can work more than 6 monthes.
some japanese company alwasy seeks native english teacher and basecally your payment will be expensive than japanese people.
but after the end of your working Visa you have to find how to make your Visa longer.
if you graduated a two/fore year college, you still have the chance. the company will arrenge for you.
but if you didn't , unfortunately to renew your Visa is impossible.
the exceptions are to get married with a japanese , become a japanese learning student or to find the other way, and continue to work for the english school more than 3 years. then you will be treated as an expert and the company can provide Visa.
good luck.
>>106
that is true.
but to seek jobs by traveler's Visa is nonsense.
because you cannot get foreigner's ID and that means you canot open your bank account in japan.
so working holiday Visa is the best.
if you have fore year college's degree or three years exprience as an english teacher,the japanese immigration bureau gives employee's Visa.
but the japanese immigration bureau is very strict and live in a foreign country is also hard. so you need to decide very carefully.
quick question what is the difference between:
arigatou gozaimasu
arigatou gozaimashita
domo arigatou
?
1 arigatou gozaimasu
2 arigatou gpozaimasita
3 domo arigatou
1 and 2 are more polite expressions than 3
because gozaimasu is a honorific word.
gozaimasu is present tense and gogaimasita is past tense.
but I think you can use both expressions in the same situation.
I'm a typical Japanese ,so believe me ! lol
arigatou gozaimasu
Thank you に過去形はあるのですか？
>>112
I'd like to ask you a question adversely.
If you come across the person who helped you in the past,
What would you say to him/her in English ?
We Japanese say "その節はお世話になりました”
Sorry for my poor English !
correction
その節はお世話になり、有難うございました。
>>114
I dont understand waht does that mean but...
If he helped not long ago you could say
"thank you for helping me (yesterday,this morning...), if i can help you in something, please let me how."
If he helped you a long time ago in something very important you just could thank him, i dont think there is a way to talk with somebody like japanese do
Anyway, wait for a true english speaker to answer your questions
>>114
I'd most likely say something like "Thanks for the help yesterday/this morning" (just put when they helped you), or you could say "Thanks a lot for helping me yesterday/this morning", or if you want to go a bit british, "Thanks mate for the help before/yesterday/this morning" etc etc etc.
その節はお世話になり、有難うございました。
My japanese is bad, so I use Rikaichan and my basic understanding of Japanese grammer. to me, if I translated that, it would say:
"Thank you for looking after me that time".
その文に「なり」何意味ですか？ (Is this correct?)
If that is right: What does "Nari" mean in this sentence?
>>115
What he said is good, but with the correction of the mistakes:
"Thank you for helping me yesterday/this morning, if there is anything that I can help with, please let me know", which to me is formal, unformal could be:
"Thanks for helpin' me yesterday/this morning, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"
Hope that helps you :)
「べらせて」は何ですか？
>>118
Let me french kiss you.かな？
>>117
With my English ability,It's very tough to explain to you about "nari"
osewa suru is active voice
osewa ni naru is passive voice
and nari is a variation of naru.
Wow,I give up ! I can't tell you exactly what I want to say.
P.S.
You're right.My Japanese sentences is equal to your translation:Thank you for looking after me that time.
But take a look at 110 which is my posting.
>>118
文の構造を読み取るときに「はべらせて」を「は」＋「べらせて」としちゃってない？
Don't you consider はべらせて as は + べらせて ?
もしそうなら、「はべる」を辞典で引くべし。
If you do, look はべる up in a dictionary.
「はべらせる」＝「はべら」＋「せる」だと思う（文法の授業で寝てたせいか自信がもてない）。
I think はべらせる = はべら + せる. (I'm not sure. Perhaps that's because I've slept in the grammer classes.)
俺にもしゃべらせて。
自分で調べらせて。
does 聞きますか make sense?
>>125
It makes sense but it probably doesn't mean what you want it to mean. If you want "Can you hear me?" that's 聞こえますか
聞きますか means "Do you hear ○○?".It's formal.
polite お聞きになられますか?
spoken 聞く？
samurai 聞かれるか？
ojousama お聞きになられるかしら？
tsundere いやよ！で、でもあんたがどうしてもっていうなら聞かせてやらないこともないんだからね!
>>127
tsundere wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
If guess i understood right anyway (> v<)
I was just looking at a yotsuba page, I just want to know if I have understood this correctly
「いつでも今日が、いちばん楽しい日
always today, best fun day
Today is always the funnest day.」
（Thats how i usually translate things)
So, does いつでも今日が、いちばん楽しい日 mean Today is always the funnest day？
Thanks!

I don't want to talk with anyone who insists "I have samurai spirit", seeeriously.

I have a question.
why is every japanese show on TV based around food and if you win you get to eat food. It's always about food XD
>>158
You misused a particle is all. Its a very common mistake.
You said こんいちわ。
Correct spelling: こんにちは
Become a Japanese citizen
Can anyone help me know how to become a Citizen? im a perminant resident in US and Citizen in Mexico.
>>164
I guess they can get high viewing rate.
Japanese people are obsessed with food.
P.S.
Have you ever watched a TV program called "dochino ryouri show" ?
It's a typical and trashy program .
Are you planning to buy any of the new game systems?
