I see, I haven't really studied japanese beyod the basic basics, I mean sentences like

 

Watashi wa nihongo no gakusei desu...

 

and basic stuff like that...

[Shadow Zero]

my education was seriously effed up, so i never had the chance to learn a second language. this really ticks me off of course, seeing as if i had had the chance to do so, i would have likely picked japanese and would now be able to speak and read it fluently enough to live in japan for a while, which might end up happening in the next several years due to i need to find the creators of specific games and pitch my ideas at them. :x

[DL]

I know how to speak

 

english

portugues

espanol

and about 10 french words, monsieur.

[Shadow Zero]

yeah, well good for you.

gah, i hate not being able to speak in a second language! :x:x:x

[DL]

mada mada dane...

 

I'd guess it wasn't that bad, I can't really sympathize with you cause I learned spanish by the time i was 4.

 

And portuguese... well, it's my home language, so around 9 moths was my first word.

 

I wish I could speak japanese...

[Shadow Zero]

yeah, i am going to make it one of my main goals to learn that language. that way i can understand what people are saying in the original anime/manga format.

[DL]

that would be awesome, but hard work.

 

Especially for someone who speaks english.

My grandma (one who taught me what little japanese I know, and studied japanese for a couple of years) told me that fact.

I think they should have more anime opening/endings by kids alive. They're awesome.

[Shadow Zero]

kids alive? who are they? =/

[DL]

They're a j-pop band, and they're awesome.

[Shadow Zero]

okay then, i'll have a listen when i am done feeling piratey. :lol: [/worlds end music]

[Spirit of DMG]

Uhh, okay, lets see what I can do.

Username: Dark_Magician_Girl_=3 (As if you couldn't look up)

Favourite Anime/Manga: Black Cat

Anime/Manga watching/reading now: Elfen Lied, Nightmare of Nunnally, Strawberry Panic!

[DL]

Black Cat... I wonder if that's mainstream... I doubt it...

 

Anyway, you'll have to wait for Otaku-sama to accept you...

[Shadow Zero]

yeah, i think that he is the only one that can accept people, as i do not think he has bestowed that power on others as of yet.

[DL]

No, he says this is a discussion thread, thus ranks are meaningless. But he also said the app is only there so as not to let Naruto/Inuyasha fangirls/boys in.

 

Yeah, that's a valid reason.

[Shadow Zero]

but still, we others should also be allowed to accept people if there reall aren't any ranks so to speak.

[Otaku-sama]

Accepted. As a gift to all of you, everyone in the club can accept members! Do not fail me in accepting people and make sure to turn down those Naruto/Inuyasha/Bleach fanboy/fangirls for me

[Shadow Zero]

understood. those who would tarnish this thread with their mainstream corruption shall not pass.

[賢狼ホロ]

As for speaking languages, I can speak Swedish, English, Japanese fluently. Then a little German and Spanish. Being Swedish means that I understand Norwegian and some Danish too. : p

My grandparents on my mother's side is Finnish, and I regret that I never learned that language. -_-

 

I think you need to be taught Japanese (unorthodoxly) for about 1 year, before you can learn it by yourself. A friend of my speaks Japanese and we had Japanese lessons once a week, a year before I went to Japan. Due to the fact I had learned much grammar, it was quite easy to absorb Japanese while I was there.

 

Anyone here into Go or Mahjong?

[Shadow Zero]

if there is a go playing sight that you know of, you should post the linkage already, although i would really much rather find a place where you can play it in person.

[Spirit of DMG]

Thank you Otaku-Sama

I wish I knew a site where I could play Go...Anyone got one?

My first language is spanish. My second language is guarani, mostly speaked in my country and in some parts of Brazil and Argentina that are near my country. I've learned english watching HBO, then improved a bit in YCM. Now I have english classes in the college and I am almost ready to go to USA. Spanish is similar to portuguese, so I can understand a lot of it, and a bit less of Italian, and a little little french. I can also understand a couple of words in latin and greek, but I'm far from saying that I can speak those languages.

[Spirit of DMG]

I speak English, and ASL. I know some Japanese, but nowhere near enough to say I speak it.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

All I can speak is english and some french.

 

I can understand some vietnamese, and I'm starting to learn some basic japanese phrases thanks to my friend justin who's actually now just complied to teaching me some japanese.
