I am taking it in school, it's my second year. IMO it's easier to read and talk than Chinese by far. I speak Cantonese at home and learn Mandarin in Saturday school so the Kanji comes pretty easily.

http://pepper.idge.net/japanese/ Quote: Author's Note:This whole essay, although sprinkled with truisms here and there, is a joke and should be taken like one. I'm actually a Japanese major myself, and even if I've given it a bit of a hard time, I love the Japanese language, and I think everyone should give it a try. You should just be ready for a whole lot of pain. HAPPY LANGUAGE LEARNING! |

Know a little bit of vocabulary and have some understanding of the grammar. I'm going to get myself into some courses sometime.
Oh, and I went to Japanese 101 at Otafest last year. Although we were told after the fact that it was like Japanese 101 and 102 in like an hour. Lol. My Ranked Maps

I can introduce myself, but that is pretty much it. I've only learned a little from my brother who went in a Japanese class.
So far I only know Ko & Ni in katakana and No in Hiragana as signs. Still learning and when I go out school this year I'll probably try to attend a japanese class. Waiting to get approved~ ;o[MODDING WANTED]

peppy wrote: A little bonus - the origin of the kanji is as follows: 「おはようございます」 ohayou gozaimasu (good morning) 「おはよーっす」→ ohayo-ssu 「おわーす」→ owa-su 「おす」 osu 「押して忍ぶ」（自我を抑え我慢する） (押して)oshite (忍ぶ)shinobu (to push and withstand) - having the meaning of "swallowing one's ego and bearing with it" Leads us to the final 「押忍」. Hopefully I'm not too far off with this translation  .This is a fascinating example of phonetic erosion and rebracketing <3 can I have some more? Just a reminder that my mods are mostly *suggestion* on how to improve your map, not a *command* that you change it!
As a rule, I don't post suggestions in my mods because letting mappers choose their own solutions generally produces a solution more like their mapping style. If you want me to make suggestions, just ask me in IRC  20:49 <peppy> : sfg maps got ranked? 20:49 <peppy> : gimme sec id ill unrank I am currently not taking requests. |
