Im Learning Japanese!

Im learning Japanese because I want to go to Nintendo Japan when I grow up.

I know how to write (with a little help from the reference sheet):

You
I
He
She
Yes
Cheap
Fish

So, heres a little something (copied the characters from a website):

Villager:
あなた?!


Goblin:
はい, ぼく!


Villager:
あれまあ!

(I know not many of you know Japanese, so I wrote it then put it through translate, the final verse IS correct, it's just that google translate isnt that accurate. It means "Oh my" (Japanese dont say "Oh God" apparently!))

Probably because the majority religion in Japan (Buddhism [or at least something very similar]) does not really have a God.

Thankyou. Oh, the BEST site to learn it is Here.

If the music doesnt come up, click download mp3 and it wont download it, it will just play it in a new tab (not sure about IE)

I thought M&C would be better for this?  hmm

Mods are really starting to confuse me, there's one topic which goes against the guidelines and I've reported it 3 times and they still haven't responded.

Re: Im Learning Japanese!

Aside from the unlikelyhood you make it to work at Nintendo, why only learn Japanese for that reason?

I mean, let's not do it because I want to communicate or I want to learn about other cultures I WANT TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Im Learning Japanese!

It's really great that your learning this language, but I don't think you should learn it just because you want to go to Nintendo in Japan. You should learn it because you really want to learn it and like the language, not because you want to go to a gaming company.

Re: Im Learning Japanese!

I think you got some of the phrasing wrong in your examples (for example, questions are usually ended with the か particle, so it shouldn't just be あなた?!). I'm personally planning on taking up Japanese in University, and hopefully going there someday ^^

Also if you want to learn Japanese, you should probably start going to Japanese classes, or getting a Japanese tutor

We haven't learned any insults yet, but a bunch of kids in our class misbehave and it would be funny if the teacher tried to insult them in Mandarin(she's not mean like that, though).

Re: Im Learning Japanese!

If you don't work for Nintendo what you can do is be a translator for a big company. You'll make loads!

Re: Im Learning Japanese!

I learnt Japanese for a bit, then switched to French.
I'm hopeless at remembering the characters, French and Latin is a LOT easier.  tongue
