I tried teaching myself but I'm going to take it at my college in the fall because it'll be so much easier. It's a really difficult language to learn!

This summer I'm going to only take japanese as a class for fun. I'd take with my other classes but language seemes to be hard for me... it took me awhile to grasp spanish.

Well I wish i could speak Japaneses i only know short phrases and when i say it out loud it sound horrible which is weird b/c when i say it in my mind it comes out good sweatdrop anyways i only know a little bit of Japaneses like i can only count up to like 50 or less (even though it's so easy to remember the numbers sinces there like the same) crying okay so some phrases i know are

What is your name- Anata-no namae wa?
My name is Serina- Watashi no namae wa Serina desu Umm what else
i know Domo arigato gozaimasu (thank you) and Do itashi mashite (you're welcome)
and other basics

xd well for me I had no problem prounouncing the words in japanese its just remembering all the different words is what makes it so hard sweatdrop .P.S domo arigato "gozaimasu" is thank you very much. xp

Did you ever notice that a japanese person speaking english seems more like a foreign language than a japanese person speaking japanese? I can't explain why, but it's just plain creepy.  

[Master cade]

confused uhhh what stare well nevermind that... todays lesson is L and R in the japanese language there is no L so in place of L they say R if you was wondering in death note why L chose this as his cover name you now know xd and in inuyasha kilala is written as kirara on the info page on tv wink

I'm thinking about taking Jap class at school. Just maybe.
It's actually an interesting language that I had always liked.  

[MicahIsMe]

I'm learning Japanes from a combination of High School classes and online translators... Oh, and hello can be said multiple different ways depending on the time of day:
ohaiyogozaimasu = hello, and good morning
konichiwa = hello, and good afternon
konbawa = hello, and good evening.

Yeah, I had Japanese classes in school since kindergarden, so it's like, why stop there? Dattebayo? (Y'know?)  

[YumeOibito07]

i wanted to take a japanese class but my mother won't let me.
so i'm just self studying.

here are some useful(?) japanese phrases:
o te arai wa?-where's the bathroom?
takushii noriba wa doko?-where's the taxi station?
koko de ii-here is fine.(when you want the taxi to drop you off)
onegaishimasu-please
(name of food)wa chotto taberaremasen-i can't eat (name of food)
(name of drink)wa chotto nomemasen-i can't drink (name of drink)

btw,i've only been to Japan for barely 3 hours.<--connecting flight. biggrin

it is an interesting language and can be tricky at times so far the only problem for me is the sentence structure such as what order to put the words in 3nodding  

[Da_Nuke]

I think I'm putting this for later... I'm still too busy with my French exchange exams.

smile well I have been trying to learn japanese for some time now and so far Im progressing s-l-o-w-l-y (slowly) and is making a list of japanese words I hear from people online in order to speed things up for me as well as to teach the public something neat. xd so to start things off lets try "konichiwa" meaning hello."Ogenki desuka" meaning how are you.
and "sayonara" meaning goodbye. mrgreen

do note that if you go to japan be sure you use the right type of speech... what i mean is... guys and girls speak differently... guys can speak like girls or people will think you are gay (it is ok if you are) BUT!!! girls can use both... -.- which kinda isnt fair... if a girl speaks like a guy she is a tomboy
