| Aren't you thinking about a translator? |
| She may be, unless she recognizes much romanji. |
| No, I meant converters. I know much romanji, but Japanese letters are too hard for me :( |
| Nice. I only know enough to read them (the romaji), it's too hard to remember if I want to write something ^^ |

| I can speak some Japanese, but I can't write the letters. The Kanji system is just too hard for me. Than again, even some native Japanese find problems with it. >.> |
| Understandable, considering there are thousands upon thousands of Kanji. |
| i wish i could speak japanese lol. i wish i did japanese when i was in school, but i only just started watching anime a little while ago so i didn't know >.< |
 |
| Your school offered Japanese courses? |

Keswick said: Understandable, considering there are thousands upon thousands of Kanji. it's really hard to learn first 200 or 300 kanji,but then you used to it and learning becomes easier the main thing here is everyday work on them and of course patience IMHO kanji isn't the most difficult thing in Japanese |
| "What is this? Where are we? Why did you bring me here? Why are you l-locking the door? What are you..." |
| If so, what do you think is the most difficult part? |
| pronunciation, i guess, as unlike most of other languages japanese has musical stress that's why to pronounce something in a right way is really difficult |

| My club!!! |
| Kanji is one of these things you require to grow with to become familiar with and comes natrually to you. For a foriegner who never learned Japanese though, it's really hard. |
| you are right in your way still i'm sure if one has strong intention of learning japanese,nothing will stop him^_^ |
| "What is this? Where are we? Why did you bring me here? Why are you l-locking the door? What are you..." |
| I agree. I will learn Japanese no matter what. (oh my, that is a dangerous statement) |
| You'd learn Japanese even if Japan ceased to exist? |
| Sure. There are loads of anime left to watch. :) |
| I would've learned Japanese by now if we had some kind of course around here where I live. I doubt I'd find something as convenient as that though. |
RevD said: You'd learn Japanese even if Japan ceased to exist? I'm not sure Japan will give up so easily xDDD |
| "What is this? Where are we? Why did you bring me here? Why are you l-locking the door? What are you..." |
| It can be arranged ;] |
| What are you planning Toster? |
| First I'll gather a group of Chinese hating people. Then we go to Japan, dress up like Japanese government officials, wait for someone Chinese to come to Japan, then throw eggs at him and shout "Get out of our country, you Ming!". If we continue doing that for long enough and hit someone important the Chinese will stop exporting rice to Japan (or start a war). No rice -> Japanese people die out. *I'm not gonna do it, this is only theoretical* |

| Interesting, you seem to have thought this one all the way through. But you've forgotten once minor detail...Japan should be entirely self-sufficient in food production. (just studies this in class last week) |
| i love watching in raw ive been studying Japanese sense i was little because some of my family live in japan and i go to visit them in the summer |
 |

| No, Japanese eat only rice and drink sake. Stereotypes banzai!! ^^ |
RevD said: *I'm not gonna do it, this is only theoretical* why not?;lol; it's such a magnificent plan of destroying country, that survived the nuclear attack and became one of the most powerful countries in the world^_^ |
| "What is this? Where are we? Why did you bring me here? Why are you l-locking the door? What are you..." |
| Because I'm too lazy to gather Chinese hating people :/ |
| Aren't we all? :P |
| Too lazy to gather Chinese-hating people? Possibly. Too lazy to do this reading for class? Definitely. |
| Haha yeah definitely not something encouraging. |
| I speak something... I'm studing japanese ^^ |
| Really? that's awesome. You're so lucky. |
| About how much do you speak Laulaly? Enough to carry a conversation? |
| yes i think ^^ Nonono very few! I recently started studying Japanese... but is not difficult |
| I can barely speak english, and I'm an American. LOL |
| Ha! So you must be the person I keep coming across all over the net. |
| it's very possible. LOL |
| Well, is there any other langauge that you can speak fluently? :P |
| absolutely not. :P |
| Sure. English. :) |
| Is it possible to learn a bit of Japanese while watching anime? Some characters speak so fast zzz |
russelw said: Is it possible to learn a bit of Japanese while watching anime? Some characters speak so fast zzz For me it has. If you learn basic Japanese grammar, it's pretty easy to learn a lot of vocabulary from anime, unless they speak too fast :P Most of my vocabulary I've learned from anime. |

aoikishu said: The speaking of the Japanese language itself isn't so hard, nor is the concepts of grammar in it. The hard part is actually writing it, especially if its in Kanji >.<russelw said: Is it possible to learn a bit of Japanese while watching anime? Some characters speak so fast zzz For me it has.

| Sadly no, I can pick up a few phrases here and there, but not much compared to others. |
| I can watch raw anime and have watched raw anime. I can't carry conversation though. I know some random words too because of some of my friends. (i'm only in middle school btw) I'm going into Japanese classes when I get into high school. It seems a long way off for me. I'm self teaching right now and one of my teachers knows japanese so he is helping me :) |
     |
| I can carry a conversation up to 6 minutes, then i don't have anything to say lol heeh sad ;-; |
     |
| Not too sad though; you're doing much better than me. At least I can start studying Japanese now that I'm home for the summer. |
