Guess my decision of putting 'I'M' and not 'WE'RE' was correct. =P

This may be extremely off topic but did you hear that Steve Irwin was was "fataly gored" by a manta ray. Talk about irony, the man spends half his life sticking his head into crocidiles mouths and then he gets killed by a suppossedly harmless Manta Ray. :(

Ohayo gozaimasu. (Good morning)

Gomen nasai. (I'm sorry)

I didn't mean to sound to harsh dVoraK.

Dozo yotoshiku. (It's nice to meet you) Mai ni koko ni kita koto ga arimasu ka? (Have you been here before?)

"Chillout...relax" ni itte kudasai. (Please go to "Chillout...relax")

That's for general chats. There's also a thread about the Steve Irwin incident there already. We basically try to stick to topic where we can.

Watakushi wa zutsu ga arimasu. (I have a headache) Ja mata. (See you later)

Konnichiwa (Good afternoon).

Iie (No).

All I'm doing here is copy-paste phrases. I am learning them behind the scenes though. Atm I have about 60 phrases stretching 3x pages which I read on occasion. A few easy one's I already know albeit the spelling and actual pronounciation is very much still a problem for me. The actual way to correctly construct sentences as well.

Though in about 2 months from now at leat I'll know like 50 Japanese phrases.

Then I'll move to something else.

Whoever seeded this learning material, domo arigato gozaimasu (Thank you very much).

I don't know if I really should go into depth wit this japanese stuff. i am learning another 2 languages as it is. Perhaps putting on a 3rd won't be all that bad.

Mochiro desu!

But we do watch alot of anime, so it would be good to learn Jap to gain a true understanding of what's going on.

But anime isn't limited to just understanding Jap, we'ld only be able to view it's true value if we stayed in Japan and took cognisance of the culture of the people and the way they live.

Does it matter, since it's all original hiragana or katakana or whatever is relevant.

I swear the words you use sound soooo classical. Don't worry I know I'm reading it awkwardly. If I heard a Jap say it, I'ld know what it was.

Boy has this sub forum gone dead.......... When is round 2 ending?
