Beautiful sunday. I was walking in the park. I noticed that some unko adhered to the bottom of my foot. I felt very sad. I thought it was a very sad day.
Many of you are writing English. Yes, you are not bad. But, See the title of this thread. It says "Chat in English, Let's Go!" You should be noticed that you're not chatting.
>>46 But, at least, Japanese coast guard should have captured the spy ship, I think. Why didn't they captured? Probably they didn't want to affect PrimeMinister's going to North Korea.
Why don't you let me know whether you have lived in Tokyo?
Now I live in Tokyo. Last April I came to Tokyo. I lived in the country far from Kanto, so it took me a considerable time to get used to living here. What puzzled me was the people's way to speak. They speak the far different way from that of those who live in my country. For example, they say, 「・・なんだぁ〜」, 「・・じゃねぇ〜?」. I was puzzled to decide whether I should change my way to speak to their way. I thought, however, that changing it might mean denying my life, which I was, more or less, proud of. In addition, when I spoke in the same way as people who live in Tokyo do, I felf as if I deceived myself. I mean, as if I didn't say what I truly want to. However, "being accustomed to something" is mysterious. Before I noticed it, I was somewhen able to speak in the same way as theirs. At present, I'm completely melting in Tokyo. I like Tokyo, but still I love my hometown.
Hey! whas's up man!? Awesome you guys! Your English skill is kickin'. You guys will gain huge ass success dudes! All right, I'll talk to you later man...
do u know State Penitentiary for Women in Lycos Community ? that is so informative and cool. if u r interested in that, u can join it. i am already member of it. thanx ^^
>>96>>109 Although this is worthless to write, I write. Your writings are too hard to read because they are like colloquialism. Please write in more literary style for poor people including me.
>>94 I don't approve of your idea. Everyone has their own way to speak, and each of them are right. Everyone may speak in his way. Why do you need to speak as same as they?
>>94 I don't approve of your idea. Everyone has their own way to speak, and each of them are right. Everyone may speak in his way. Why do you need to speak as same as they?
when I read what u guys wrote, it make me feel like I'm reading text book.. i'm not going to say it is bad, but at least, u should learn english from television. not from book. u geek guys...
>>123 Why? I don't want to become to be able to talk with native speaker. I just learn English to read or write documents in English. You should understand that not everyone wants to speak English.
I dislike your dirty colloquial English as using "u" as "you", using the word "guy" or "geek" or starting with small letters.
say what you wannna say don't care of a little mistake and you can take first step not only english but all of languages are just tools to communicate well you don't have to be bothered how to use difficult words or phrases just be free
>>131 I almost approve of your idea. But if you speak in too coloquial style, you can't communicate to people who are far from native speaker. For example in Japanese, the phrase "Nankasa- kyousa- cho- mukatsuitesa-" should not be understanded by non-native speakers.
So, inorder to communicate well, using too coloquial style is not good.
>>133 That idea is not bad. But why SHOULD we use many kinds of English? We're not native speakers. I think we may not speak as native speakers.
For example in Japanese again, we can understand KATAKOTO or strange literary Japanese of foreign travelers and there are no problem. People in UK, US or other countries should be generous as we are. Of course in business, we should use usual colloquial English. But in other cases, I think we don't need it.
The new term has begun. I must tackle the senior thesis and at the same time take as many classes as freshmen do, for I've been very very idle student... (utu
>>225 So, can I just make sure that you really understand the word "Snob"? Snob refers to a person who tends to brag about his own knowledge and pretends to know more than he does.
Ibaragi is the highest. Ibaragi is just the center in Japan. Ibaragi is the the latest of the world. A countryfolk cannot understand the greatness of Ibaragi.
>>238 I don't like to find fault with others either, but the word "snob" is usually taken as an abusive word, so I think you need to be more careful in using this word.
>>239 No, except trips to Thailand and US two years ago.
>>255 In my opinion, 1)Increase vocabulary 2)Memorize phrases and colloquial expressions 3)Try to have as many opportunities to talk with English speaking people as possible
>>376 It's not so difficult. The teacher says "Arabic is easier than English." The letters seem very strange, but it is easy to read or write if you study about a week.
>>385 Arabic letters are only 28, and a letter has only one pronounciation. So, study 4 letters in a day and you're going to learn them completely. But in Arabic, vowels are not written. So we must image them. This is a little difficult.
>>402 I hope you'll have a chance to go abroad sometime. When I tripped to the U.S., I was shocked to learn that I couldn't keep up with what thay were saying at all. They speak so fast compared to Japanese.
u guys speaking English really unnatural. we call that jap english. i used to speak like it long time ago. but i been to America for 3years. Do not, I repeat, do not just follow gramma to speak English guys.
>>412 yes,yes, that's normal reaction,,, but what i meant was,,, how can I say,,, it's sometimes important, to 'pretend' to understand what they say,,, or, you should repeat "pardon?" thousands of times, don't you think so?
>>414 The focus of English education in Japan is to acquire literacy skills. So, in general, we Japanese students are not so familiar with everyday English. You cannot blame on that, for reading and writing are most important skills for university students.
Also, for non-native speakers, learning broken English like yours is often not so useful, except for the case that one has or want to make friends with some English speaking person. Many of them learn English for business purposes and in business you must use polite English.
>>418 For example in Japanese, we can understand strange Japanese spoken by foreign travelers and there are no problems. There is big difference between native speakers' way to speak and non-native's. It is natural.
>>414 Some of the earlier stuff in the thread was awful, I agree, but Drum's English for the most part sounded okay with me. As a matter of fact, yours was the one that seemed to bug me more than his. Sure, some lack of capitalization and punctuation can be dismissed with the likes of "We're on the net, we abbreviate" and such, but some of the grammatical errors looked to me like they were more than for the sake of convenience (The lack of an "a" before the "native speaker" in the final sentence, for example- That's something you normally would not omit). How old were you when you first went abroad?
Back Caught you lookin' for the same thing It's a new thing - check out this I bring Uh Oh the roll below the level 'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, C'mon Turn up the radio They claim that I'm a criminal By now I wonder how Some people never know The enemy could be their friend, guardian I'm not a hooligan I rock the party and Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist Preach to teach to all 'Cause some they never had this Number one, not born to run About the gun... I wasn't licensed to have one The minute they see me, fear me I'm the epitome - a public enemy Used, abused without clues I refused to blow a fuse They even had it on the news Don't believe the hype...
>>435 You sound really forced. Do realize that the black colloqual style of speech looks immature and even downright comical in written form, and that no real black person would even think about writing like that (even if they speak like that). You shouldn't mix spoken language with the literary.
>>437 I know that, man! However, 2ch is not the place to exchange a kinda academic opinion as you know. So, we don't need to decide the way talk. In addition, comical and immature sound like important factor of 2ch, don't you think? P.S. Do realize there are a lota wayz express whatcha wanna say wit' simple wordz. Just know what 2ch is. You are too earnest to be 2channelah. You know what I am sayin'?
I meant comical and immature as in the sense of being mocked. With your style of writing, you're sure to invoke comments like "Oh my god, look at this guy trying to imitate a black, this is so pathetic it's funny". I meant that kind. Are you sure that's what you want? Besides, I never meant that to be in any way academic; It's just that your way of casualizing the language just seemed unnatural, at least from my point of view. But, if that's your way, sure, I'll take back the "should" part, by all means go ahead.
>>438 I can hardly understand your English. But I feel your English isn't interesting at all though 2ch words are a little interesting for example "abo-n" and "itteyosi".
>>439 Yeaaah, you so good. absolutely you right. Whatcha wrote here is just what I am thinking about that. I shoulda used no this kinda broken way and I know many people must have though I sucked. but, think about it. I did that kinda stupid attitude for sure but here 2ch, it's sonatural, i think. Don't be serious at this fuckin' boad. Nobody wanna be somebody here and I don't wantchu to be like that. Please be funny and take it easy, man.
I am Seizi who is twenty. People always consider me as crazy. I feel busy since I came to Tokyo, maybe. So I wanna die but it's aboslutely silly. Please, someone, feel me!!
My English is very stuffy. I can't deny this. I'd like to speak like a native speaker, but I have no opportunity to talk with them. Why I write English almost every day is I don't want to lose my ability to write it. I believe that, if I don't write English at all even a day, my English ability will decrease. I can't stand the decreace, because I have an dream. The dream is that my paper about medicine will be adopted by famous scientific magazines, for example Cell, Nature, or Science. At present, only the papers written in English can be read by the editors of those magazines. I must become able to write the results of my researchs in English without difficulties. I must write the English which is logically right. I cannot write and say casual English. However, as a medical student, I think that I should acquire the English skill which is useful for me to realize the dream.
>467 The field I'm interested in is embryology or pathology. Many of today's medical fields are based on "molecular cell biology". When we learn cutting-edge fields of medicine, the biology is indispensable. Now various molecular-level discovers are being revealed by a lot of researchers.
I'm sorry if my writing above is hard to understand. I'm now still a lower grade student, so I may be little informed about medicine. I'm intend to acquire new knowledge from now on.
I hope to develop communication skill in English. Please teach me effective ways to do it. I was good at English for the entrance examination. Now I am 18 years old and a national univesity student.
>>469 would you like to improve communication skill? now, are you used to writing or grammer?>I was good at English for the entrance examination. then, you should "speak". do you have some chance to speak english?
>>470 Not at all. I dont intend to study abroad in the future. I want to acquire it in Japan. *I am used to writing,grammer and reading but not good at speaking and listening
>>471 aha, I see. then I recommend NHK's radio program "Let's Speak" or "Business English". they are both English conversation program. former is easier than latter. I'd like you listen they, and decide which program to listen to. but I listen to both (w Let's Speak starts at 10:25 p.m. Business English starts at 10:40 p.m. both of they are 15 minites, but containts are interesting and usuful. they are broadcast everyday except Sunday. If you are pleased, then you should buy textbooks. they are sold in every bookstore.
>>467 Here's where I start feeling so little, especially compared to Don, who seems to have a dream, and thus a clear vision of his future... I go to a faculty in the area of media design (whatever that's supposed to mean), but I still have no personal idea of what I want to do in the long term. So far, I've scratched the surface of human interface design, graphic design, programming and digital video. As you can see they're mostly unrelated to each other. My only motive so far for doing practically anything was "it looks interesting". It's what got me in here in the first place, but I feel I'm rapidly running out of time.
hi, is there anyone interested in jail role play? my american friend and i are gonna have that kind of even online. (if possible, in the real world in the future)
if u r interested in this, pls contact me. thanx ^^v
>>473 Thanks for your response I put your advice into practice. Firstly I will listen to former. By the way , the lecture of English in my university is useless.
yeah, I think too...>the lecture of English in my university is useless. especially, it's foolish for the one who were "zyukensei" to learn university's English such like a junior highschool's textbook.
to my surprise, even though there are a few people who don't still understand.. (´ー`)┌
>>468 Sound very interesting, though I don't know anything about the field.(w
>I'm now still a lower grade student so I may be little informed about medicine. I'm intend to >acquire new knowledge from now on. I like your deligence. Gangattekudasai.
>>476 I suppose experiencing a variety of fields is good way to broaden the scope of your knowledge. What grade are you in? If you are still freshman or sophomore, I think that's no problem. Interest is the main drive for pursuing your study.
>>533 I have thought of it as illegal. But now I know the contrary because of your response. If you take it,it's quite posssible that you keep on sleeping for a long time.
It is in the thing of the time of the gymnastics at the time of quantity 1. Although in cooperation with [ on that day ] the woman a gymnastics teacher "a woman is [ that ]" -- leaking -- "-- that -- obtaining -- 。 . . Although it is a leak boy. . . "" gymnastics teacher じゃぁ and prove!!" leak " --" た which it is made to remove gymnastics arrival while being surrounded by many students, and has ちんちん checked in the middle of a gymnasium. Since the leak was the direction whose growth was slow, ちん毛, not to mention 腋毛, had not grown then, either. The nickname of a leak is "my Cupid" until it graduates from the day.
>556 i can do that. that is what i am doing every day ... it is not so hard, just try it ^^v
>557 hmm...... maybe some US ppl might have heard the name of Tokyo Univ. but.... actually even that is really not famous here ...
and sometimes i check the US college ranking, but they rank college by many different ways. such as,
1) whcih college has the best cafeteria inside ? 2) which college has the best understanding for gay&lesbian students ? 3) which college has the best dormitory ?
or something like that. not only acadamic level. academic livel is just a one of criteria.
>594 >Can you walk on way you had dreamed once? as a result ... yes.... i can say ... yes... but .... on the other hand, i lost too many things. and .... i can not get back them any more ...
>Can you live best your life with all your strength. my way to live is .... "i never regret". even i make a huge mistake, i never regret. in some ways, i can say i am living my life いいかげんに

LEMON Stop looking from appreciating with.Season passes,passes. You can go to anywhere. Take me about to something,anyting. Give me some that any want. Give me some that I don't want to.

What's wrong?What's right? We've never seen go through as we can do easily.Can I say?
>Stop looking from appreciating with.Season passes,passes. >You can go to anywhere. did you write this by yourself ? if so, you are genius ;) i like it
Must be alone Looking for a fellow allnight long. You have nothing to tell. What are you asking for fellow? Nobody can assist you. Must be alone. You always make a fool of other. But look over your position. Have no right to make a fool of other. Will lose sight of yourself in the crowd someday. You're of no value to me. Look for answer from yourself. If you dead,nobody help you. Do you have anything to forget thing. Must be alone.
I'll be waiting for you, here inside my heart. I'm the one who wants to love you more. You can see I can give you everything you need. Let me be the one to love you more. This is one scene from "To love you more " Now, this song is my favorite song. Do you have any English songs that you love. If you have, please tell me.

You do not talk about Fight Club You DO NOT talk about Fight Club If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight IS over Only two guys to a fight One fight at a time No shirts, no shoes Fights will go on AS LONG AS they have to If this is your first night at Fight Club, you HAVE to fight

You naked yellow bastards, Why not talk about fucking boring "Fight Club"? One crazy guy just brow building up Pity film .."Snutch" is more fun, as says But his best act is, I declare, "7 years in Tibet"
you hate a life that resiments yourself. though you are eager to resiment other. you make hard your side for your peace of mind. it's a selfish regimentation. what is your group for? it's the group loves solitude rather than indepenent.
I am lost. Pain I feel, the hole in my emotions The hatred I live with daily. You aid the pain, fill the hole. All the shit I've ever felt, You turn around to the right. All I request, needed to live. A decent woman to spend my time with. Or I shall run from life like an unarmed soldier in a World War. A cowardless man, from a noble general. You fuel my courage, my everything. Oh how I need you, Oh how I love you. Without you, I am lost.
>>687 The south wind bring the smell of night. Trees are swaying in the breeze I leave my home town tonight, the filled with memories. We had many quarrels but more talk about love and worries. My dear town and freinds,I must go, I'll never forget you. The car raido sings a sweet song. It comes near the parting time. I don't want to see you crying, just like a terrible monster. I leave everthing to you, surely write to you someday. The sound of wave, the starry sky I'll never forget you. Well, I think a man must go all alone this dusty endlees road. Say!!Goo-byetomyfrinds! Leave my heart in this town. It's growing up!!
