Haha. I like Arika, though I've read that some people find her completely annoying, which I don't quite grasp yet. I guess I've seen worse.Aku said:It makes my heart skip a beat seeing your avatar change, MT. The series ended badly, btw. I'm sliding a tad off subject but I need to speak out on behalf of the many fans who burst boils.
That would be the "for Dummies" edition. I wasn't able to sniff out the other two books you mentioned, and there really wasn't much else to choose from at the Barnes & Noble I scavenged at. They had a bunch of resources on Kanji, and I say that I don't plan on learning as of now. I'm not in the mood to get my ass kicked.Aku said:Hmm, I don't remember my own experiences when reading the book. Which one, my friend?
... as much as traditional tutoring...Square Ninja said:...and Mune said that book wouldn't help.
Yes, I do agree with that; as I've been desiring a tutor since I started reading it. Unfortunately, there's just no-one with the lore here.LordMune said:... as much as traditional tutoring...
Yeah, the ending was really botched. It's a good show, just not a great one. Did you notice that some people don't die even though they logically should in Otome? (i.e. axe to the back, impalement, gunshot through the head)

As I've likely said before, I am disappointed that the book doesn't at least introduce you to reading katakana somewhat. A start's a start, though. Right now I'm trying to practice spotting these suffixes and counting. It's going very well, though I need more discipline.
Baka_ushi said:I noticed a lot of people who watch Anime, and haven't studied an ounce of japanese, love to claim they speak the language. They proudly yell out "SUGOI!" and know pretty much nothing else. I know next to nothing about Japanese and I'll be happy to admit it ^^;
Master T said:Yeah, I noticed that anime themes like to use the word "anata", even though it's considered boorish. Do you know why they include it?
That's what I figured. That's the only sore thumb I hear, but I wonder... what others are considered as rude? Hm...アクラ said:As I said before, anime is informal. If you really take everything off of anime, you're basically speaking in slang or not respectfully. Why they have informalities is beyond me, but I do know it becomes more appealing to the audience.
It's funny that even though I say I can read and type japanese, I have an accent myself. Then again, it's quite difficult to rid of. Like a Chinese man learning English who's put his heart and sould to learn but in front of an American, they break down in fear. That's my experience in front of any japanese person.
Eclipse said:So i already know how to create vowels and sounds to match, so when i do speak japanese i sound just like (when i hear natives speak it) Japanese people. I have never had a problem with accents in other languages, i even speak some german, and people said i sound like a true german xD
You'll sound retarded trying to sound like Ichigo, Sasuke, or whatever anime character exists.

Eclipse said:^ ok so where do you go to school for japanese, Akura? maybe there's a similar school near me >_>
also, i'm learning japanese, and i'm not having much trouble at all with pronounciations....i'm a bit worried about a few things
A.) particles (holy crap)
B.) kanji
C.) learning the words for different items.
Do you have any good sources that can teach me what certain words are in japanese? like table....what's that? and stuff like that?
Also, a good kanji source that has a nice amount of kanji so i can learn?
also when's the best time to learn kanji, after i can structure my sentences and after i have hiragana and katakana memorized perfectly, right? Well then, how would i learn kanji? do i just normally go around memorizing each symbol and what it means?
im a bit confused about kanji. I hear they symbols can mean certain things, like one kanji symbol can stand for ocean....while if you write "Kairi" in hiragana, it's 3 symbols long. So is kanji just a symbol that stands for a word? or is it an actual sound that you build together to make sentences?
sorry for all the questions
thanks in advance!
