jivic852 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I know this was already said but I feel that it maybe worth saying again, there are many different dialects in japan so it may make times a little akward if speaking to someone with a different dialect. But besides that there is never the same level of learning everywhere. And what I mean by tha is my schools japanese 3 is like a japanese 4 near the end of the year at a school close to us. Have you ever taken or heard of the japanese learning proficiency test? (forgive my spelling I hope less there.) It actually is worth taking you can see what you may need improvement on while taking it and you can see how well you do. As for studying this year my teacher plans on having us know atleast 45 kanji I think on top of the many that we already know. So I like to use flash cards with the new ones and write up or look over the old ones before throwing them all into a large pile. Or if I'm really bored make a matching game, which takes forever to make when you start to learn a lot so don't loose the cards. Link to post Share on other sites

NeoUmbra 0 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Just wondering if Japanese is a good language to take up. Does all the time and effort you put into it really pay off in the end? Really the same question with any language but Japanese is the language i am currently learning too i guess i'll aim it towards that. Link to post Share on other sites

JiN 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 "shy" in japanese is æ¥ãšã‹ã—ã„ (hazukashii)...also interchangeable with "embarrassed". in japanese they have the same meaning. it's hard for me to get to the site these days, but i'll always help anyone out with japanese that needs it. i know exactly how difficult it is to learn it from english and can teach many tips/tricks that make it more efficient for english speakers to learn it. lately i have been fully focused on korean (which incidentally is an EXTREMELY similar language to japanese) but the pronunciation has been killer for me since my mind is so molded to the japanese way of pronunciation. 韓国語ã¯ã‹ãªã‚Šé›£ã—ã„ã‹ã‚‰æ®‹å¿µã ã‘ã©ã。最近俺ã¯å‡„ã„忙㠗ã„ã‘ã©ã„ã¤ã‹æ‰‹ä¼ã£ãŸã‚‰æ˜¯éžè³ªå•ã‚’èžã„ã¦ãï¼ Link to post Share on other sites
Gordojum 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hmm. Well I've just started learning Japanese this year in college, unfortunately they won't be offering it next year. However, I was just wondering about the different forms of verbs. For example: hanasu can be changed to hanasanai, hanashimasu, hanasemasu Is there anything with "o" column?
