Hi, loving everyone!^^ I'm 19years old, a Japanese Otaku.
I'm a high school graduate who is preparing for another chance to enter a college.(This is called "Rounin" in Japan, a masterless Samurai is also called "Rounin".)
I made every effort to enter college, but college refused me, because I couldn't read/write English well.
So, I want you to speak to me easily, and point out my wrong.
You can ask me everything! I'm not a grim person.^^ I love you all.(^ε^)
come on! come on everybody!
Do you think this sentences childish?
...oh,excursus.
I like WWE,progressive rock. thanks for reading

She has well-formed features. Her way of laughing is similar to Mao Asada's way of laughing.(Mao Asada is a Japanese female figure skater) I cannot understand why many people speak ill of her.
I should study hard like her. She is my goddess.
I live in the South; it's quite beautiful in some places.
It's also very, very hot right now, but the humidity isn't so bad as Japan.
All of the American cultural sites are in the North, though, or so I hear.
Certainly there's not much to do here in Atlanta.
BTW, there's a good test here:

"Practice makes perfect" is a common English proverb.
Reading English literature may help. Many older works are available free online, but the language in them may be dated.
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/
Articles found on English language websites can be more fun to read. A favorite site of mine has many interesting articles on Science, History, Rare Illnesses, and Strange Phenomenon.
You'll learn many incredible things and hopefully improve your English as well.

There are some language add-ons for the Firefox browser that help people learning English. I can't vouch for their quality, though.

Atlanta, Georgia? I passed through there on the way to Florida, but we should have turned around after Atlanta. The Coca-Cola factory/museum was better than anything in DisneyWorld.
> The Coca-Cola factory/museum was better than anything in DisneyWorld.
Yeah, but that's it. Centennial Park is neat for a little bit, but it's no tourist destination. You can always get mugged!
Hello >>1!
You did a good job keeping this tread alive. Over 200 posts! That's quite a feat here in 4-ch.
How are you getting along with your English lessons? Well, keep at it. Like I said, learning English doesn't have to be boring. Make it fun! Watch TV, movies, read comics and magazines!
If you finished reading that comic, I could give you more...
And since you're talking about Japanese idols, my favorite is Komatsu Ayaka!
>>207
I kind of did get mugged. At the DisneyWorld ticket office.
> What a stupid I am. I'm sorry. But I am an average Japanese college student.....
Don't worry, you're still learning and you're doing a great job! ^_^ I can't even imagine how hard it is for you to learn English.
I don't think you should worry about spelling. Out of the words you have used in this thread, the only one you constantly spell wrong is 'grammar.' Don't worry, though, it took me until 8th grade to spell that right!

"Inversely Amazing
Not easy to get all that wrong."
3 out of 18 correct
Does anyone know of any Japanese internet TV sites?
The national character joke
The fire occurred to some ship.
For the captain to make a passenger dive into the sea smoothly
In the English " The gentleman dives in such a case ".
In the German " It gets to dive into the sea in the rule ".
When Italian " The beauty dived a short while ago ".
When American " It becomes a hero if diving into the sea ".
In Russian " It is in time in now of the bottle of the vodka had been floated down. if chasing ".
When French " You don't dive into the sea ".
In the Japanese " All dived already ".
In the Chinese " The fish which seems good is swimming ".
In the North Korean " Now is the chance of the asylum ".
The sailor " But a Korean is of captain! still left! "
The captain " It is possible to leave alone "
The sailor " Because of what is it? "
The captain " A claim has been done, saying the inconveniencing. clothes surviving were wet ".
The captain " A claim has been done, saying the inconveniencing. clothes surviving were wet "
>>The national character joke
Using a definite article means there is only one such joke, an indefinite article should be used instead. The use of the noun "national character" as an adjective is permissible here, but "joke about national character" sounds more natural.
>>The fire occurred to some ship.
It is a hypothetical fire, not a specific fire, so use an indefinite article. "to" is the wrong preposition, use "on" instead. ("to" is a very complicated preposition, it would take a long time for me to explain all the ways you can use it). "some ship" is correct, but sounds weak, "a ship" would be better.
>>For the captain to make a passenger dive into the sea smoothly
As this is the start of a list, there should be a colon at the end of the sentence. "Smoothly" is ambiguous here, it could mean diving with good form, or diving without complaint. By changing the word order we can make it obvious it means diving without complaint. "For the captain to smoothly make a passenger dive into the sea:".
>>In the English " The gentleman dives in such a case ".
When we are using "English" as an abbreviation for "the English language", the article is omitted. The same applies for all language names. Because we are talking about a hypothetical gentleman not a specific gentleman, an indefinite article is used.
>>In the German " It gets to dive into the sea in the rule ".
I don't understand. Do you mean "Diving into the sea is required by the rules"?
>>When Italian " The beauty dived a short while ago ".
"A beauty dived a short while ago."
>>When American " It becomes a hero if diving into the sea ".
"You become a hero by diving into the sea.", or if you want to avoid "you" to make it sound impersonal, "One may become a hero by diving into the sea", although this sounds somewhat archaic.
>>In Russian " It is in time in now of the bottle of the vodka had been floated down. if chasing ".
"If you dive now, you will be in time to chase the bottle of vodka which is floating below."
>>When French " You don't dive into the sea ".
"You may not dive into the sea."
In the Japanese " All dived already ".
"Everyone dived already."
In the Chinese " The fish which seems good is swimming ".
"The fish swimming below seem good."
In the North Korean " Now is the chance of the asylum ".
"Now is the chance for asylum."
>>The sailor " But a Korean is of captain! still left! "
The sailor and the captain are both hypothetical, so again use an indefinite article.
"But the Korean captain is still left!"
(the captain is a specific captain to the sailor in the joke, so he uses a definite article).
The captain " It is possible to leave alone "
>>The sailor " Because of what is it? "
This is correct, but sounds very unnatural. "Why is that?" sounds better.
>>The captain " A claim has been done, saying the inconveniencing. clothes surviving were wet ".
I don't understand this.
My take on this.
----------------
A joke about national character:
A fire breaks out on a ship, and the Captain must quickly convince passengers of different nationalities to abandon ship.
He says to the Englishman:
"A gentleman always dives into the sea."
To the German:
"You must dive into the sea. It's the rules."
To the Italian:
"A beautiful women dived in a short while ago."
To the American:
"If you dive into the sea, you'll be celebrated as a hero."
To the Russian:
"If you're quick, you can grab the bottle of vodka that's floating away."
To the Japanese:
"Everyone else is diving."
To the Chinese:
"All the good fish are swimming."
And to the North Korean:
"Now's your chance to gain Asylum!"
The First Mate speaks up, "A South Korean is still hasn't abandoned ship, Captain."
The Captain replies, "Leave him be."
"Why, Captain?", he asks.
The Captain explains, "He claimed that he would be inconvenienced by his clothes getting wet."
>I live in Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture. Because my college is there.

Interesting places. Mie is famous for Nikkyouso and Tohoku University is historically an active base for Chuukakuha. What can you tell us about those organizations?
Good evening! I'm sorry for my laziness.
I watched "Spiderman 3" four days ago.
I don't dare to refer to that content, but I was so glad to follow what the heroine said:"You are such a nerd."
"Nerd"!! I learned the word recently.
BTW, I want to study abroad. Because of the economical problem in my family, I cannot go abroad this year.
But I'm still a freshman. I still have many opportunities to go!!

Are there many bugs?? Hornets are my natural enemies. I'm so afraid of them when I am out in summer. I'll die when they only approach me.

OMG!! A short time ago, I tried to open a Pdb file(downloaded from your recommended site). I installed two inappropriate software.
Then, I noticed that C language files cannot be compiled. So I tempered with my computer for two hours.
After all, my brand-new computer got terrible damage. Now I cannot even open "Control Panel".
You know, I don't regret that. Because this is also study. Since last week, I've planned for introducing Linux system. So I don't care at all. I don't care about this fucking god damn operating system at all.

>>226-228
Oh, I cannot help but use this unfamiliar expression.
You get the hell out of here
I noticed that Americans like words connected with homosexual. I already know "niggerfaggot". And now, I learn "gaywad".
My vocabulary is growing!!
No, no... this is a more accurate depiction of American culture! ( '__')b
>You get the hell out of here
When making a command/order, the 'You' is implied and is not needed. 'Get the hell out of here', or even just 'Get the hell out' are more natural.
To be more vulgar, 'hell' can be replaced with 'fuck' ^^
I agree with >>230
People using those words are considered immature, so I wouldn't suggest using those insults.
p.s. It's wierd trying describe the proper uses of slang...
>>231 You faggotdicksucker I am not amerikkun. You gayasslicker can suck my white long dick, nigger.
>>232
I agree that "of here" is best omitted. It weakens the phrase because it occurs after the meaning is already known, like how explanation after the punchline weakens a joke.
IMO "You get the hell out" sounds stronger than "Get the hell out". "Get the hell/fuck out" is used very frequently online, so it does not have much impact. Adding the rarely used "You" makes the phrase more surprising.
>>229
'Niggerfaggot' isn't actually a word. It's two words put together: 'nigger' and 'faggot.' 'Nigger'... well, just try to avoid using it! Black people take a LOT of offense to it! But yes, Americans like to use homosexuality as an insult. 'Faggot' is a mean word for a homosexual person. It's used a lot in America, but it's very immature.
'Nigger' was slang in the southern slave-states for 'Negro'. It's considered a racial slur, or insult now. Both terms are obsolete and no longer politically correct. Black men may refer to each other, informally as 'nigger' but this is associated with hip-hop culture.
>>226-228
Ownd by a Japanese man in his own thread. I love it!

You are Japanese, aren't you?
I've not knew that Mie prefecture is famous for Nikkyouso!! Looking back upon elementary school, many teachers frequently absented school. They might attend to a meeting.
And a movement of Chukakuha is very active. But nuisance! They scatter great numbers of fliers. A students' association could not have done this. Someone may concerns economically and politically.
I'm neither the left nor the right. Clearly they are the left, but I don't care. They are just nuisances to many people.

Since you just watched Spider-Man 3, I thought you might like this. But watch out! Spider-Man is always making jokes. You might not understand his humor now, but jokes are big part of learning a new language. Keep in mind that once you find a foreign language joke funny, that means your understanding has improved a lot!

I guess you mean "preference?"
Well, that's normal for college freshmen like us, and I hear it's normal for Japan too.
But take care not to become a ロリコン, it's unhealthy!
>>241
Uhm. Since thread is derailed.
It's NOT healthy to become ロリ in college. It's normal after 30+ though.
It is a mystery.
>>239
Your English is improving! Keep it up! =)
Good job for using the apostrophe on "students" correctly and for using "neither" and "nor" correctly, as well. There are still some mistakes, though!
>I've not knew that Mie prefecture is famous for Nikkyouso!!
There are two mistakes here that really bug me:
First, in a contraction like this, you should contract "not" into the word so it sounds more natural. So instead of "I've not," I haven't."
This isn't a mistake, but in this case, "didn't" would sound better than "haven't." I don't know how to explain that.
Secondly, you made a HUGE mistake. To native English speakers, "have knew" is horrible English! There's something called the past participle, but knowing when to use it and not is confusing, even for native English speakers. "Have knew" is just really easy to see. Heck, if it was another verb, I might not have picked up on it, myself!
(The last sentence of the last paragraph was a good example of the past participle, actually. Not all verbs have different forms in the past participle.)
For now, instead of learning how to use it, you should avoid getting into situations where you need to use it. Instead of saying "I have not knew," say "I never knew." "I have not knew," is incorrect English, but "I never knew" is correct. Also, even when used correctly (know --> known), "I have never known" sounds less natural than "I never knew" in the first place.
>>245
Oh, I forgot to say that if you used "didn't" instead of "haven't," it would be "I didn't know," not "I didn't knew" or "I didn't known" or anything like that.
>>245
"I haven't known that Mie prefecture..." is not just unnatural, it's incorrect. "haven't known" is present perfect tense, a very difficult tense to use correctly. Present perfect tense can be used in the following ways:
1) Something happened, and it can continue to happen or happen again, eg. "I've gone to school today." - implies you might go again. Compare past simple tense "I went to school today." - implies you will not go again today. You clearly know about Mie prefecture now, so the lack of knowledge cannot continue.
2) Expressing duration up to the present, eg. "I've lived in Mie prefecture for two years" - implies you still live there. Compare past simple tense "I lived in Mie prefecture for two years" - implies you no longer live there.
3) Something happened in the past which affects the present, eg. compare present perfect tense "I've lost my wallet" to past simple tense "I lost my wallet". The former is an explanation for something, while the latter is a simple statement of fact. The past simple tense can also be used as an explanation, but it sounds blunt.
Because none of the three possibilities apply, you should use the past simple tense:
◯ "I didn't know that Mie prefecture..."
These days, I've studied hard.
Please post more!! I'll be back!(Whether you want or not)
I would like to know about some great places in Japan. ^_^ I've always wanted to visit Kyoto, it looks so beautiful! Have you ever been there? If so, how is it?
And where are the cute japanese ladyboys?
Today, I saw a very pretty boy in the students' dining hall. He's perfect! My chopsticks almost dropped off my hand. I want him to be my special friend!(He is my classmate, thanks for god!!)
Now that I know what >>251 means! And >>252-253 have only a poor sensitivity. You are bound by the fixed idea.
>>251
Come my college. There's a paradise on earth!
>>250
Ah... I've been to Kyoto, but don't like there. Indeed, the buildings are antique, but Kyoto is always crowded and where the roads are so narrow. I cannot put up with them.
And you will be spoken to by English learning students. They may ask you about your family members. But it's an order from their teacher, so there's nothing they can do about it. You must deal with them.
The same as that, you all have the duty to correct my English!
Hau abauto mai Inglish?? J'ai dix-neuf ans. Io sono giapponese. Sono di Mie.
Anyway, what does >>250 want to see in Japan? "Great" is so various.
And I want to know your recommendation!
To be a ladyboy you have to dress as a woman, I think.
Man, what is this thread even about anymore?
>>257
A ladyboy is a shemale. But I thought that was mostly Taiwan...
>>255
Oh, sorry. See, >>251 was horribly attempting to be me, just check what name he went by. I got a little irritated. I wasn't trying to be insensitive. I support gay rights and stuff like that! =/
Okay, let's work on your English!
>>thanks for god!!
It should say:
"thank God!!"
When referring to a single god like there is only one god, then you capitalize the word God.
Other than that, there's no real explanation. "Thank God" is just a common phrase.
>>Come my college.
Should say:
"Come to my college.
When you are telling people to go or come to a specific location, you say "Come to ____." or "Go to ___." where ___ is the location.
The exceptions to this are when you say "Go there." or "Come here." (People don't say "go here" or "come there" because "come" means "go" except it's used when you're there at the location already you're telling the person to go to.) Other than that, you always use the word "to" after come or go.
You can also say "Go over there." or "Come over here." It's usually used when the person is really far away from the location you're talking about but there are no real rules to it. You can use it anytime you want!
>>and where the roads are so narrow.
You don't need to add "where."
....
That's it! Your English is really good! There was one other thing but I won't bother with it because it doesn't HAVE to be a mistake.
>>259
211 here! Let me add something about "go" and "come."
When you're talking about the future or are telling somebody to do something in the future, "come" usually means that you'll be there and "go" usually means you won't. For example:
Bob: Come to the concert.
This implies that Bob will be at the concert.
Bob: Go to the concert.
This implies that Bob won't be at the concert.
When talking about the future, sometimes people mix these up, so you can't always be too sure!
Also, I was sort of wrong about "go over there" and "go there." There are better times to say each one, but it doesn't matter too much. Generally, you will use "go over there" more.
For come, though, that doesn't matter. =) People mix "come over here" and "come here." Usually though, when you're talking on the phone and you want the person to come to your house, you'll say "come over here."
"Go here" is too used. Normally when you're pointing at a map or similar.
A "nigger" is a complimentary term for a black man, but only if he is stronger than you.
Someone ban this guy, please. People will literally kill you for saying that.
Breaking the unspoken rules and bringing this thread back to the top.
( ಠ_ƣ) I say, good show! Say "No" to trolls, wot wot?
Nigger isn't a really bad word these days. Ever since the niggers themselves started using it, it has seemed pretty tame, and no worse than "spic" or "jap".

They should be more expanded! Because our neighbors are so dangerous, it cannot be avoided.
The first thing we should discuss is a fact that one nation interferes with another.
An Asian guy with (presumably) heavily accented English coming up to some some black guys and saying "'Sup all my niggers"?
More likely they'd laugh their asses off.
"ahh, kamisama! watashi no atama ni ono ga arimasu."
"Oh my God! There's an axe in my head."
"yuube no mae ni onna no hito ni naze au ka shirimasen deshita"
I didn't know how to meet women before last night
(my Japanese homework assignment: write what you learned this weekend)
"yuube no mae" sounds strange!! "sakuya(昨夜) made(まで)" or "sakuban(昨晩) made(まで)" are(is?) better.
So, you have your Japanese homework...I also have my French and Italian homeworks. Good luck for us!
Now, I'm studying hard so that I won't be inferior to other countries' students in study. Someone gives me a plenty of time, pleesee.
I'm sorry, I forgot to write whole sentence. And I think "how to meet" means "douyatte au ka". Doesn't it?
"yuube made onna no hito ni douyatte au ka shirimasen deshita"
"sakuya made onna~"
"skauban made onna~"
BTW, does "meet" mean "make love" or something?
Hmmmmmmmn, this whole thread is very cute, I think ^^ apart from the trolls, but any thread is going to have trolls. Anyway, I don't really have anything useful to say about all of this, but I'm enjoying reading it all ^^~

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. No one celebrates my birthday, but I'm still fine. Happy birthday to me. Now that I'm 20 years old! Happy birthday. This year's aims are getting a good grade in all subjects, and preparing for studying abroad.
I wanna more practice "output" in English.(Though I'm taking an oral communication class, I don't think it's so effective)
Yay Happy Birthday.
20 years old should be a happy day. Because now you can call yourself "hatachi". You can only do that for a single year!
Since you can legally drink now, you should offer to buy drinks for younger students. Maybe you can make friends that way.

Yup! I'm twenty years old! Boku ha hatachi desu! J'ai vingt ans!
Yeah, I want more friends! So, I had better start training to drink a lot. I ordered "Baileys Irish Cream" on the Internet a short time ago. Do you know that?
I felt bad today, so got home early than usual. It's 18:20 now. Now I'm alone and will start studying in analysis. The test is near!!

> I ordered "Baileys Irish Cream" on the Internet a short time ago. Do you know that?
Mmm... I think I've had it. The creamy alcohol is the best kind. Kahlua is good, too.
I also like hard lemonade. Actually, generally I only like creamy and sweet alcohol. It's kind of embarrassing. The other guys say I drink the girliest drinks.
Haha, I get that as well... since I don't really like beer. I like either mixed drinks, or hard cider.
I've never had Bailey's, but I've had similar cream alcohols. It's too sweet and rich to drink straight, but you can make awesome milkshakes with it. :)
Today, I drank "lejay creme de cassis". My sister sent it to me for celebrating my birthday.... but I don't think it tastes good.(Sorry, but I'm glad to be given it)
I cannot wait for the Baileys' arrival! If I should habitually drink it, I would become a diabetic.
> イヤ!! 誕生日を逃っちゃった？ オソーイ！ お誕生日おめでとう御座います！！
Thank u! And don't mind it! It's still inside the range of a time difference.

Why cannot you believe I am twenty years old? You mean that my postings are too childish? Yeah, that's right. I agree with that.

Lemonade is not popular in Japan.(BTW, I like a pronunciation of "Lemonade") Someday, I'll try it.
> The other guys say I drink the girliest drinks.
That's not bad, rather good!! Attaboy!
Hey, I thought that an otaku had never drunk. So the recent postings are new to me!
>>289
If you want, I'll correct your Japanese.(It's a celebrative message, so I thought the correcting is impolite)
> Hey, I thought that an otaku had never drunk. So the recent postings are new to me!
I'm not as much an otaku as I used to be... I came out of my hole, so to speak. But I still go back to the otaku world sometimes and fawn over Konata. And what's more, I'm not scared to admit it anymore.
"Hard lemonade" is just a lemon-flavored alcohol. But Japan has better drinks than lemonade. That means Calpis and Pocari Sweat! Those are the summery drinks that lemonade ought to be. Mmm... the thought of Calpis makes me thirsty, actually.

I'm too fond of Pocari Sweat, but none of the Asian shops I've seen so far in my town sell it, especially not the powder version. I prefer that one as pre-bottled Pocari is too intense for me, I prefer diluting it to more than twice as weak.

I never met a person who likes Pocari Sweat (in Japan), though its commercial is famous for the actress. In my opinion it is drunk when people catch a cold.
I prefer Aquarius to Pocari Sweat. Aquarius is also made in Japan. According to the page below, it is saled in 15 countries(Asia and Europe). Its flavor is weaker than Pocari, so it'll be your favorite!!

Calpis! I like it! Needless to say, it often uses as a metaphor of Semen!

Okay. stay tune!!
>イヤ!!
In such a situation, "イヤ" sounds strange. "ウソ？！" or "しまった！" is appropriate.
>誕生日を逃しっちゃった？
"誕生日を逃しちゃった？" is right. "誕生日を逃しっちゃった？" is wrong.
>オソーイ！
It seems like you said to me "You are late".
So, I think "遅かったか… orz" is right.
>お誕生日おめでとう御座います！！
Thanks!
>二十歳ね？信じられない。インターネットに居るのに、僕がいつも最も若い。
There is nothing wrong, but are some unnatural terms.
>二十歳ね？
Are you a woman? If not, you shouldn't use "～ね".
>インターネットに居るのに、僕がいつも最も若い。
First, an expression "インターネットに居る" sounds strange in Japanese.
Second, an adverb "いつも" shouldn't use there.
Third, "最も" is a little strict here.
Considering these points, this sentence would be said like this:
いつもインターネットをしているのに、僕が一番若い。
more frankly, いつもネットしてるのに、僕が一番若い。
In addition to that, you meant that on the Internet you rarely see people who are younger than you, didn't you? If so:
いつもインターネットをしているけど、僕より若い人には滅多に会わない。
"滅多に～ない" means "rarely".
If you have never seen people who are younger than you on the Internet:
いつもインターネットをしているけど、僕より若い人には会ったことがない。
>はい、どうぞ。
Maybe you wanted to say "Yes, please". But "はい、どうぞ" is arrogant in Japanese.
"はい、(よろしく)お願いします。" が適切かと思います。
以上です！

僕もね、14歳の頃は、自分が世界で一番若いと思ってたよ……
