Domo sumimasen / I'm very sorry.

Chotto matte kudasai / Wait a moment please - I'm still learning.

// This is hectic stuff.

I'm just gonna memorise a few phrases first. //

Anooooo, watashi wa Rayne wa ****** janai. Tashkani ure wa 'wrong' desu.

I don't understand Rayne. I'm prob wrong.

Dont touch what(or who)

Doko wa?
where are you learning the phrases from?

Lets learn Japanese - Basic 1.

Sawaruna normally means "Dont touch me"

Fuzukeruna would be something like "Dont fcuk with me"

I think Jo was saying it last night.

....but you could have it mean what you want it to.

Hey that's no joke.

I see same words have diffirent meanings.

EDIT : Can someone please tell me how to get hat thingy on the #6 key on a keyboard on top of a letter?

Earth to Rayne, we seem to have lost you on that one.

For the letter kappie, try word. I remember having to transiterate some words for an assignment. The variations are quite tricky and become tedious. That's your best bet though.

Word? Microsoft Word?

So I cannot post so here?

Copy and paste perhaps?
Goodluck!

Ano...

Oshiete kudasai!

****** English doku wa? Mattaku...

And where's the English? Geez...

Sumimasen / I'm sorry.

Oshiete kudasai / Please teach me / please tell me how to.

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu / I'd be gratefull for your help / I'd appreciate it.

Dozo / Please.

(I wan't to print out notes but no use I do if I can't type it correct because then I won't be able to pronounce it correct)

Sukka.

I see.

It's somewhere in word. Check the insert symbols or somewhere around there.

Hehee, I still can't do it...

Thanks bru, I'll ask my mom to show me tomorrow.

Try to learn the hiragana first, then you will be able to write and pronounce it far easier. i started 3 days ago and know 6 of them already. its not that hard.

so far I know(read and write)
ma - ま
shi - し
ku - く
ru - る
no - の
ni - に

ps - Hentaigana wtf?

Eish Nuke that's a bit beyond me atm.

Ask me again in like, 10 years...

I think I'll just get a few easy things down that can help me with fansubs first.

Even at the beginning stage I can basically picture / recall a character pronouncing a certain word as I see it.

So hopefully one of these days I can skip a few subs.

Man I listened to the first lesson of Primsleur and sumimasen and yh go ga is like stuck in my head forever...

I am gonna try and put them on ipod so I can take them to gym and listen to it there...

Amazing how much easier/quicker audio sticks in ones head than writing... Well to me at least...

sumimasen - excuse me
yh go - English (with ga for sentence)

I Found this on a japanese learning site

The Anime Freak is probably the most common, and one of the most annoying. You can usually spot a few warning signs to let you identify them before it's too late: they wear the same exact Evangelion shirt every day, they have more than one anime key chain on their person, they wear glasses, they say phrases in Japanese that hey obviously don't understand (such as "Yes! I will never forgive you!"), they refer to you as "-chan", make obscure Japanese culture references during class, and usually fail class. You have to be extremely careful not to let them smell pity or fear on you, because if they do they will immeadiately latch onto you and suck up both your time and patience, leaving only a lifeless husk. Desperate for human companionship, they will invite you to club meetings, anime showings, conventions, and all other sorts of various things you don't care about.

lol

@Reticulated - lol, but....

Tadaima! / I'm back.

From what I read last night 'Sumimasen' can mean 'I'm sorry' and 'excuse me'.

'S*h*i*tsureishimasu' can also be used for 'excuse me'.

Is this correct?

EDIT : What's up with this stupid filter?

Yeah this filter is hyper active.

So 's hitsureishimasu' is spelt like that I see. It's like a minor tongue twister. I'll stick to how I thought it was said, studeshimasu.

So ne. / Yeah.

Dewa, oyasumi nasai. / Well then, good night.

You sleep rather early. Oh well, it's good for your body, if you bust yourself out.

Oyasumi nasaiiiii!
