As far as I can see the text contains about 120 words. Perhaps its a little less. If you accept this number of words, I will send the one as a private message.

Sure PM me

I have done it. I would so happy, if you are able to translate the Japanese text. I wanted to speak Japanese for a long time. I have even planned to live in Japan, but I have changed my mind. I have a little predilection for Japan nevertheless. And you?

I enjoyed the song Have you been to Japan before? Personally I really want to live there in the future

はじめまして みんさん。

I understand it. Its an ear worm, isn't it? It seems that you speak Japanese well. Can you also write with Japanese letters?

No, I was not been in Japan so far. And I think, I don't be there in the future. It was a wish at that time to begin a new life in a new country far away from my native one. I wanted to forget all kinds of things in my life and I wanted also to "flee" from my people: families, friends and so on. But I have a new plan right now.

Ha, my turn to feel jealous. You're probably young! I feel old and wrinkly! I'm already 21 years old. >< It might not look like much on the internet, but when I think that next year I will be 22 it is so scary! My degree is almost done (one more year) and I'm thinking of either going to study Chinese at Qinghua for a year, getting a job in London, or doing some form of masters either in the States or at Oxbridge. But I literally have no clue. >< Time is catching up on me! Ah!

I've finally committed to learning Japanese. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and kept putting it off but I'm putting it off no longer.



I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'm 22 and it's my intention to start a degree next year. I always have a feeling that time is (or has) slipped by. So whenever you feel like this, think of this post and remember I probably feel more scared.

Ah I see. Hopefully someday you can visit Japan for a holiday though? Yeah I can write the letters too. The book 'Remembering the Kanji' helped a lot with learning to write them by hand.
Anyways, good night! みんなおやすみ～

Well Good Luck and Ganbatte! (Try your best!)

I'll keep that in mind if I can't find it rar or zip, which I doubt because Rossetta would be massive but Argiatou Gozaimasu Blueray-san, anata wa tottemo yasashii (Thanks Blueray, you're really kind)

HOOT 2000th POST! (I know this isn't 4chan but I couldn't resist)

I've never heard any positive words about it either. I've checked out several videos of it too and it just looks terrible. You're not going to get good, native-sounding Japanese using it. Sorry to be so harsh but Rosetta Stone just a waste of time in my opinion.

Hi guys a quick question,

Does anyone know whether I can sit the JLPT N5 in Japan?

Its on december 2nd, I'm looking to go to Tokyo for a holiday but don't know whether I would be allowed to sit if I'm not a resident.

Thanks.

Thank you. That actually did make me feel better for a moment. =)

I was wondering, where are you applying to?

ようこそ DrumChops-san! げんき？i?

Where is everyone ? This thread is very quite these days...

Hey guys, I've been studying Japanese over the summer, my plan is to have learnt all Jōyō kanji (governments 2042 general use kanji) by the end of August (already know ~500) and then hopefully get a bit of grammar & sentences done after that I find by self studying that I lack speaking practice a lot, any suggestions?

有難うルイースです

The way I learn kanji reading is basically learning the kanji itself through the RtK method, and I learn the reading as a go along basically. For instance 人:

人 = HITO ひと
七人 = nanaNIN ニン
一人 = hitoRI り
日本人 = nihonJIN ジン
and so on. I know there is another one for 人, but I haven't encountered it yet.
I have been through 906 kanji in RtK, but I don't know the reading on too many of them.

Kanji learning is by no means easy, but I feel that this is the easiest, and most fun, way of learning to read kanji.

Hahah I love that kanji (noisy is a punch of 3 women!!!) and kanji like that! Abstract compound kanji are the best like my favourite is

毎 (mai, means every) which is the kanji 人 + 母 because "Every person has a mother"
