You can physically please men. By looking at you, all men get sexual pleasure. You should be more confident in yourself.

I feel happy to see her getting more and more confident in herself. She is getting more and more beautiful. It's important for women to have a confidence, though not too much.

Monologue thread is quite popular in 2-chan, but it's interesting in 4-ch, too. Maybe a person who love posting tends to like talking to himself or herself. It may be a good way to ease stress.
I bought a new car today. I drove the car. I'm quite satisfied with it. But only one problem is that it has no CD player.
Are you the one who had 1,000,000 Yen in a bank?
How about if you take your portable CD player when driving?
That's an idea, isn't it?
I'm sure it's him.

Talking to myself is a good way to get rid of stress. But also talking with my good is also a good way to ease stress. After all experssing myself is important to live a happy life.
Yep.You can speak your mind more.
Today it seems she feels a little depressed. She wanted to do a side job, and applied for a job at a company. But as it turned out, the company was a bad company. She was cheated.
I hate dishonest businessmen. They get money by cheating good people. I think they should kill themselves. But the fact is that bad people never kill themselves. Only good people tend to commit sucide.
the weak people mustdie. NO matter how they good are,how honest they are,etc ,they better die.
In the world of 6,000,000,000pop you must be strong if you wanna become something. unless die or lead your pathetic life
Guess you wanted to say something horrible.

No, it doesn't stop at 1000. But it cannot be age'd anymore.

I wanna go to Expo as soon as possible. But it must be so crowede, and it takes many hours to get to the place from my home.
Expo?
You mean the one that's taking place in Aichi prefecture?
That's right. Many people all over the world will visit Expo. It's so fun. But I heard it takes about two hours to get on the linear motor car to get to the Expos sites.

Recently girls who have fat thighs often wear a short skirt. It is so nice to look at. I think almost all men love looking at legs.
I'm fine today. When I feel something, I can speak English.
Pirates attacked a Japanese ship on Monday night as the boat was sailing to Myanmar. Even today pirates exsit. I was very surpirsed to know that.
I am on jet lag. This means I can't help but go to bed around 7 AM each day. I have to get accustomed to a better sleeping schedule again.
I just read about that pirate business. They were armed with rocket launchers. I would find it amusing, but a few people were taken hostage.
A question to English-speaking people:
When you read, your internal voice echoes in your head?
It's interesting. Say more specifically. Oh, 300.
What's interesting?
What is the internal voice?
>>302
Which may echo in your head when you're reading.
I googled it for you.
Read it if you want to know what I meant:http://www.enter.net/~ronblue/finger.htm
>>299
If I am reading a small line of text, a sign or a single sentence; then no. As far as I know my mind just looks for the words, puts them together and makes sense out of it. However if I am reading something longer than a sentence, or instructions than yes I will "think" in English.
As a person learning Japanese I find that with basic words or sentences that I will think Japanese, however when I have difficulty my mind attempts to translate the things in the sentence I do know, and then I try to piece them together to get an idea of what the sentence is about.
Think in russian!
I like her. She likes me. But if I try to kiss her, what will happen. I'm afraid of it. So I can't
>>305
I'm afraid I don't know about ABC of Russian language.
As a Japanese I love to use the language as a means to express my emotions such as（ﾟдﾟ）ﾏｽﾞｰ. But I couldn't guess at all what д means. Can you tell me how to pronounce it?
>if I am reading something longer than a sentence, or >instructions than yes I will "think" in English.
Thanks. I somehow see what's happening in your head when you're reading. Just to make sure whether I'm right or wrong, your voice sounds in your head when you read an ariticle or something, ok?
>As a person learning Japanese ・・・・
I find it intersting that what you said often happens to Japanese people learning English. I often hear them say the same thing you said.
Д=D,Deh, Di
something like that
As English is not my first language, I tend to formulate it in my head sometimes, but mostly when speaking. When reading or writing, the desire to pick up a dictionary is what echoes mostly in my head.
Many thanks, everyone. But, hmmm, now I feel I have trouble getting my meaning across in English or wasn't able to get your meaning...
Please let me explain again.
For example, after you listen to the Beatles, you can hear Paul McCartney singing songs only in your head(though you don't actually put the CD on) so nobody except you can hear him, can't you? I called it the internal voice(I'm afraid it's correct in English, however). And what I wanted to ask you was: when you read a book, you can hear such voice which belongs to somebody(maybe yourself) only in your head?
Ahhh, English is hard for me to learn... I'm a little sick of it.
>I'm afraid it's correct
No, I made a big mistake. I wanted to write "I don't know whether it's correct or not". Very sorry..
I'll go.
Confusing "if" and "whether" is a common mistake among non-native speakers of English. Don't worry about it, just double-check in the future.
And I am afraid I do not share your experience with you. I very rarely "audialize" something in my head.
Recently I've got nothing to speak of. I don't feel like talking. It depends on the day.

Never, ever tell lies in this thread, idiot.
Were you saying the words silently to yourself as you read? This habit of saying the words to yourself while you read is called "subvocalization". While this habit in itself is not the sole cause of slow reading. The "small, still voice" we hear while reading (subvocalization), is natural and is required for all reading below 900 words per minute. The average college graduate reads "basic" level of difficulty material at 250-300 words per minute, with 70% comprehension, therefore they subvocalize until they reach speed reading, which begins at 900 wpm.

>1. When both choices are given, we generally use whether >rather than if:
>I don't know whether she's coming or not.
>(It would be possible to use if here, but less common.)
The explanation made me think you were confusing "if" and "whether". What do you say?
When I speak easy English, I don't have to think it in English. When I feel something, I can express it in English like my native language, Japanese. But when it comes to a long or a difficult sentence, I have to think it in English. But the words English-speaking people don't know or understand, I don't usually know how to translate. I don't think I should translate such words into English. Because even if I translate such words into English by looking up the words in a dictionary, English-speaking people can't understan them.
When I speak, I feel something. It may be the inner words, which is not a concrete language such as English, Japanese, German and so on.
My pronunciation is too bad. I have to give up.
English Grammar helps.
I sometimes feel so sad. I've got burn-out syndrome.

I get good mileage out of my car. It runs 15 kilo meters per litter. What mileage does your car do per litter?
>>328
Whether or not you understand the difference between 'if' and 'whether', if you use one consistently it won't confuse people. Americans tend to use both 'whether X or not' and 'if X or not' interchangeably. But at the start of a phrase it's always 'whether or not X' and never *'if or not X'.
>>329
リトルは英語でliterです。そして、キロメートルはkilometerとかkiloとかklickです。私の車は一ガロンに付き30マイルがあります。
In what units do Japanese people count? Do they use the metric system?
I don't know whether if is right or not.
Please enlighten me.
>>331
All of Japan is on the metric system, except for the measurement of square area of living spaces, which is measured in the size of tatami mats. There is a pre-metric system for measuring things like cloth for kimonos, swords, etc; this is the shaku-sun-bu (尺寸分） system. Also the wooden sake box (ます) is a measurement as well, a single ご of rice.
> at the start of a phrase it's always 'whether or not X'
I'm confused. Please help me out. What's explained in the site is wrong?:http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/whether.html
“Whether” works fine on its own in most contexts: “I wonder whether I forgot to turn off the stove?” But when you mean “regardless of whether” it has to be followed by “or not” somewhere in the sentence: “We need to leave for the airport in five minutes whether you’ve found your teddy bear or not.”
I've just consulted a grammar book, and found this sample sentence: I don't know whether to go to the party or not.
Is that wrong?
Even now I can get along with my wife, and have sex almost every other days. I married her 11 years ago. It's usual or unusual?
I wish I could live in Switzerland.
Ogura Yuuko make me happy. she is an angel for me.
10.6 kilometers per liter is not too bad, but not so good. In Japan some cars get 18 kilomers per litter. Japanese cars are small. That's why some cars get such good mileage. But my former car got only 7 kilomters per litter.
It's been one month since I bought a new car. Time flies like an arrow.
Softbank Group will work with Fuji Television Network to block its hostile takeover by Internet service provider Livedoor. Livedoor and Fuji TV are in a stock-buying battle for control of Nippon Broadcasting System radio.
Thank you for your explanation.
Today is Saturday. Most businesses won't be open for long today. And they will all be closed on Sunday (except bakeries and such) and Monday (holiday). So I will have to buy my groceries in the midst of a huge crowd. I dread the thought already.
These holidays seem to come up so suddenly, and the world of commerce will happily reinvent itself for each of them. It seems so fake. I feel old and cynical.
I wonder whether Fuji TV and Livedoor will get along well or not.

She's famous for her vanilla fart.
I'd say vanilla smells good, and if her fart smells like vanilla, it means her fart also smells good. Very logical.
What should I do today. I can take five days off. But I have not plan now. I'm tired of many things. After all it is it that I can be interested in. If I had a lot of money, I could travel around the world.
Sometimes I can speak English so fluently that I feel English is next to my native language, but othertime English expressions don't come to mind, so I have difficulty speaking English. It's like riding a seesaw. How many times had I felt depressed so far?
Please let me ask you a question.
Which do you think sounds natural to you English-speaking people, "we found our sorting through sth looking for sth" or "we found ourselves sorting through sth looking for sth".
We are discussing it in 2ch.
the latter

Thank you. You're of great help to us.
Great help to me, too.
