noonsun Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I am actually genuinely thinking about learning Japanese, I bought a book, but figured that's not really enough, so I'm thinking about getting a pack which has software which has voice recognition etc, it looks amazing it's a complicated language. hard to learn without a teacher or a really good Japanese for Dummies book or something. Learning more than just konnichiwa or asking someone's telephone number is pretty difficult. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrificAttack Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 it's a complicated language. hard to learn without a teacher or a really good Japanese for Dummies book or something. Learning more than just konnichiwa or asking someone's telephone number is pretty difficult. :/ Well that's the thing, this package actually has bits where you get to test your speaking ability at the end of each level, it sounds great but it's a bit expensive.

Tonsu Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 finished my mango sweet smelling head off to bed talk amongst yourselves Goodnight sleepy-head Your mango-fresh locks smell great Your lucky pillow! I am actually genuinely thinking about learning Japanese, I bought a book, but figured that's not really enough, so I'm thinking about getting a pack which has software which has voice recognition etc, it looks amazing Learning Japanese is a huge endeavour. Easy to start and get in to to a basic level, but years of absolute dedication to master (including at least one to two years living there if you have any intention of trying to achieve proficiency). To be fluent? Five years hard work, very hard work, I'd say. For starters try to download the Pimsleur course from torrents. It's rather 'unnatural' in a sense (the same sense in which blatantly non-native English speakers grab your hand when you first meet and loudly exclaim 'how do you do') but in every other way (intonation, grammar, sentence structure etc) it's good. Lots of near-fluent friends have sworn by it. Here endeth the off-topicness. I really should be packing now :escaping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipotle Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Had to listen to one more song before sleep and guess what :stunned: exit light enter night take my hand we're off to never never land Am I actually getting the haiku thing?

Tonsu Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 nah, "this is japan" would be nihon desu nihongo is the language - nihon is the island. :D and I lied about going to sleep but I actually am going to now. Thanks for the romaji (now that I am pretty good at!) It's a good thing my Japanese friends don't come on this forum, or they would realise just how much I pretend to understand kanji and kana when I don't :embarassed::lol: Had to listen to one more song before sleep and guess what :stunned: exit light enter night take my hand we're off to never never land Am I actually getting the haiku thing?

noonsun Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 ^That's good, Violet; Tell me, do you write poems in your spare minutes? :thinking: I do sometimes, but They do not usually turn out very good. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Surprisingly, I Don't write nearly as much as some people might think. I have, however, been Known to write a few things when Inspiration strikes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 When inspiration "strikes" me, it's usually not pretty, sadly. Although I do have a few finished poems that my friends say are good... :/ Personally I think they're pretty bad and my friends just want me to feel better about myself, though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
