I have listened Japanese music for 3-4 years
But real Japanese is so much different from music >_<
And how fluent are you? I think listening to Japanese songs is a terrible way to learn the language as the syllables are generally stressed a lot differently than actual speech. Everyone who says they learn out of music either is already fluent to an extent, is talking out of their ass and likely doesn't understand a bit of the language, or is going to learn the language incorrectly.Hakeru Prismriver wrote:

It might be the way you say it. I'm apparently usually too formal when I talk in other languages, but that's probably because I don't know many informal ways of saying things and I can't tell what's going to be broken or not.Daru wrote:
I've spoken with some native speakers, and my Japanese is described as "Not much of an accent, grammatically correct, but weird sounding".
doing it by yourself and actually getting the same result from studying it properly at a decent course would take an incredible amount of self discipline and effortMy1 wrote:
nic3, I have to say, but I think that it makes rather fun learning it youself (like I do), coz you are not tied to times or teachers, and I like this way really
Well, it was pointed out that I used words in a weird way or something like that. Like, I would say, "I will wait inside the bus stop," rather than, "I'll wait at the bus stop," or something like, "I arrived at class" rather than, "I got to class,", because I didn't know the word "got". I'm sure what you're saying was a part of it, but I think the main thing wrong was my word choice rather than politeness.Pokebis wrote:

That being said, I may speak too formally in English as well, but I try not too.

lit. "If (you) use kanji, then spaces are not required"
Of course, as with my previous statement, I'm not too confident in my word choice here, so it may sound weird to a native speaker.
Japanese is written with no spaces, but they're usually put in to make it easier for beginners who don't know kanji and read sentences with only hiragana/katakana, or for signs or messages written entirely in kana.
as you see, when you wont use kanji, then you can (and if you ask me you should) use spaces coz when you are no natve speaker, it is xTremely hard to figure out where one word ends and where the other begins.Micaela Mousiki wrote:

Thank you, I didn't know about that. Next time will write with no spaces, then.
Yeah, I usually use kanji in "watashi" or the days of the week, numbers and some other simple things like tree, river, forest, etc.My1 wrote:

You would generally use the form:Micaela Mousiki wrote:

And I normally use those in a sentence, so yeah ^^
I wonder how do I say " I wish *Insert noun here* " ?
OK! Thank you very much!Daru wrote:
You would generally use the form:
[noun]が欲しい。
lit. want [noun].
「欲しい」is an i-adjective that modifies the noun, meaning "want". However, it's not used as a verb like in English, but as an adjective, so the actual usage is different, and it conjugates as an i-adjective.
You can also use the 「たい」ending for the stem of verbs to communicate desire to do that verb. For example, 「昼ごはんを食べたい」, where I used the 「たい」ending attached to the stem of 「食べる」 to say "I want to eat breakfast" rather than "I eat breakfast". This ending also conjugates.
Oh, sorry.My1 wrote:
can you let me understand it too???
I rearranged them to be in grammatical orderDaru wrote:
Oh, sorry.
Here are the kanji I used:
欲しい
ほしい/hoshii
want (adj.)
食べる
たべる/taberu
to eat (v.)
犬
いぬ/inu
dog (n.)
昼ごはん
ひるごはん/hirugohan
breakfast (n.)

I think a Weeaboo is a person who thinks that japan is the best country ever and won't pay attention unless it has to do with japan.Azure_Kyte wrote:
So, a person outside of Japan watching Anime, reading Manga, and playing JGaems/Listening to JMusic will automagically be a Weeaboo.
If it's a person WITHIN the country, who is Japanese, then they are said to be Otaku, or shut-ins.

It is, really. We're the only language I can think of where native speakers often have to ask, "Uh, how do you spell that?"Ephemeral wrote:

Aye, my Japanese professor went on a tangent during lecture once about the difficult to learn English as a second language compared to learning Japanese.Ephemeral wrote:
