Japanese Language Center
« on: April 14 2005, 03:43 pm »
i think this is quite interesting, since we all love manga and anime so much but most of the fans don't understand japanese XD it's pretty inconvenient at times. So why not let fans that are fluent in jap give others non-jap fans a few pointers or common words in everyday use; we could then be more comfortable, expecially when watching anime  :keke:
we could start by the words' pronounciations (such as: konnichiwa  :D itz easier to remember in this form than the org jap character) then slowly go more in-depth if possible.
It'll be great if there's a whole new section for this, but itz absolutely ok too to just create a learning thread to test it first :)

^__^  You pronounce it as Ka-WIE-ee (like Hawaii)!  At least that's how I was taught to pronounce it.  =D

Yeah, I asked my japanese teacher (sensei..*cough* XD) and he told me with a frustrated look.  Y'know...he gave me the, 'i-taught-you-this-already-how-can-you-possibly-forget' look.  ^^;  Heh heh heh...

****...I've been saying it like this - Caw-way....

Don't worry, I've been saying that too before I had a jap teacher.  ^^  No big really, your not the only one.
