Well I figured since obviously, Japanese music is in Japanese, I should star up a topic for learning Japanese. I know not everyone has language tapes or classes, so I plan on typing out stuff from my language tapes and anything else someone would like to chip in, but for the time being, It's under constuction.....

I think I'll just open this up for those of you who want to share their knowledge in Japanese... I haven't had time to type up a more formal lesson, so for now, this post is

I have a course book. It comes with a few cd's for pronunciation, but it is still the coursebook. I dont know if thats the sort of thing that you want? It just tells you the letter pronunciation, and then the rest is words and using them in sentences and such.

I was thinking more like a lesson with like words and phrases that oculd have the pronunciations typed out so people could sudy over them. I would type one of mine out but I'm always so swamped when I get on the computer sweatdrop

Invasion Japanese phrase of the day:
Ano joro-me.
That slut.
But the 'ano' at the begining which means 'that' can be changed to 'anata wa' which means 'you'.
Anata wa joro-me.
You slut.
xd I have a whole book full of these so I just thought it'd be fun to post one 3nodding

This is a good idea, and I could help with it, if you'd like.
But ... the only problem that I can see is the necessity of having to learn hiragana, katakana, and, of course, kanji. It's easy enough to learn words and the like in romaji, but you'd also want to be able to read and write them, wouldn't you? Plus there's the difference in forms - dictionary, -te, and -masu - past, present, future, etc. It's hard >_<
Also, 'anata wa' is only one of many ways to say 'you' - there's also 'kimi', 'omae', and saying the person's name ala "[blank]-san wa', each of which are said in different cases. Picky language, ne?

Picky language, ne? yes I know there are more than one ways to say it, ubt that was just the one phrase. I could see how you would need to learn kanji and all of that too, BUUUT I think I'll start out simple for those who don't know much Japanese 3nodding

You can't just put out the one phrase - you've got to put them all out due to the whole situational thing. You can't really simplify Japanese, because if you attempted to use simplified Japanese while talking to a Japanese person, you'd make a horrible impression on them.

I would be typing out entire language lessons I have, but I have no time. There wasn't really anything wrong with that sentance, I just thought it would be funny to put up. True, but then again there are many ways to say many things in Japanese. If you were talking to a Japanese person you wouldn't state every single way to say a certain word, just so you wouldn't be speaking 'simplified' Japanese.

Well, I know how to say I don't speak Japanese!
Nihongo o hinashimasen.
If you wanted to say I do speak Japanese you would just say
Nihongo o hinashimasu
I know other stuff, but I'll put it on later if anyone wants to know some more useless phrases ^^

Well that's not really a useless phrase. Especially not if you went to Japan, and osmeone came up to you and started talking ot you in Japanese, and you didn't understand them...>>
'Nihongo ga wakarimassen' would be another way to tell someone you don't understand Japanese. Or "Nihongo ga scosh (sp?) hanasemas", or, I speak little Japanese. You could replace the hanasemas with "wakarimas", or 'Understand', making,"I understand little Japanese'. 3nodding

well, something that's a nesesity...
"Toire was doko desu ka?" - "Where is the toilet?"
then, for introduction...
"Watashi no namae wa (name) desu" - "My name is ..."
or to make it short
"Watashi (name) desu" - "I'm (name)"
or also without the "desu" lol
and um... what else...?
"Domo arigato gozaimasu" - "thank you very much"
"Arigato gozaimasu" - "thank you"
"Arigato" - "thanks"
I'll post more soon... 3nodding
