I'm bored to death , and you're busy to death. Oh ! This is why everyone is dying. No one has hope. This is because the zombies don't think and don't feel. What do you feel in your daily life?
Goooooo o o o d mornig! Everybody. It's fine this morning in Tokyo. May be the 台風 has gone. But yesterday was,that was a bad dream, very humid. Somehow, I managed to survivie last unconfortable night. I hope another won't come to Japan.
This is boring... cause we are not talking but mumbling... There should be an agenda to discuss... BTW, "my english alibity is dropping" sounds Janglish (in addition to the typos) it could simply be "English is leaving me" or if you are really desperate, it can be "English beats me..."
Hey, you guys doing a great job. Keep up working on it! Learning English is not difficult than you think only if you are not afraid of making mistakes. Don't be too picky about grammer, punctuation, and spelling. Even lots of americans do make a mistake of these. Good luck and 'just do it"
Do you think the prime minister Koizumi is doing well? I believe he is not. He failed to explain the prospective consequence of his policy. As you are aware, his explanation was so abstract that people could not make proper decision.
>>74 I agree with >>73. He did not explain the consequence of his reform clearly at the time he became the prime minister. All he said was the meaningless slogan.
I suppose >81 knows that wasting time here is the best method to study English. According to >81, writing Japanese may be more effective method to study English than the ordinary person expects.
one thing i can clearly tell you here is people who write in japanese here are not good at english or just coward. so, they do not deserve to blame anyone wriring in english here no matter how inaccurate his/her english is.
i think that they are supposed to say "thanks for the giving but we killed them a lot!". so, i asked my friends like "why don't you guys call it sorry-killing day"?
Hi ya there, I'm not a gaijin. and to be frank don't really care if you're really foreign or not, nonetheless it's nice to see someone else speaking in English too. ;)
Who else wanna join a chat? Throw me questions or something and I'll throw mine at ya!
>>134 Wow! Your English is extremely good. It's probably bad to say this but I've never come across a Japanese capable of speaking English so naturally like that before. (^^; I suppose you have been studying overseas?
Anyway, sure, let's chat. I'll start with a question. What are your hobbies?
Too good ??? I look like a irony message... Because "too" has a negative image with a lot of something. You should see your dictionary. If you feel positive impression for the thread, a message should write "So good".
>>146 I know the Nova usagi as a funny character in CM on television. However, I am not intersted in it.
( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh I am broken to have smoken.( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh I am broken to have smoken. ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh ( ゚,_・・゚) Buh-buh I am broken to have smoken.
yeah..it's TOO MUCH.lol i think very few students like nova usagi but maybe that character attracts people who haven't been interested in english i don't know it's good or bad
Well... I quite like the radio English program, Eikaiwa, because I could learn a lot of english expressions. I don't think the dialogues in the textbooks were used very often,though,and dialogus in Kisoeigo or Kisoeigo II were more useful and easy. But i was interested in the appendix of the monthly Eikaiwa textbooks... You know, columns and Q & As.
>>188 It is great to see you! I never dreamed of seeing you! Do you have the door which makes it possible to go to evreywhere i want to go Please show me it! I'd appreciate if you show it. If you were not to do it, I would die. Please come on! I love you, doraemon! an an an!
>>200 Absolutly. I really have. Would you like this. This is a magic device that make your English skill up! This is \100000. I believe this will help you develop your skills. To buy , transfer the money to my account. Best wish Doraemon
Hi,this is my first time to come here. I got 860 on TOEIC 2years ago,but I'm totally losing English. It's such a pain when you can't remember the word you are really looking for. I know I have to take TOEIC again,but I'm bit scared.
By the way, how come are you guys talking about shitajiki?
Haven't it ever occurred to you that there was any possibility that smart students with abilities to pass the entrance exam of a national university you think is superior to Waseda wanted to enter Waseda?
It is true that it's not necessary to write English in TOEIC, But in the real world, the capability of speaking English is needed when discussion and contraction in commerce.
Thus Mr. >249 would like to became a good English speaker. He could aquire the skill.
Did you used to trickin To everyone who thought about making the trip to the Kuka to see I tell that with somebody in there, and stepped outside to take a walking away pretty-little leave from your wacker-head on for as far as each eyes can see nose and acnes.
everybody farts. do you fart in the street? do you fart in the classes? silently? sometimes I wonder, while wandering through the city how many people are farting at this moment.
In my office there is a worker, who concentrates on studying English with his earphone, not working. He sits in front on me. Not only I but also many workers feel it annoying everyday. In the long run, nobody asks him any project. Can anybody guess what my occupation is?
>>273 Of course you can do it, if you don't become too nervous about small gramatical mistakes. Writing long letters is very difficult even for advanced learners, I think. The most important thing to write is to have some idea that we want to say. So if you want to write a long letter, at first get an idea and give it a try! , and you will gradually improve our writing skill. Good luck!!
but his cock was still as hard as ever and standing out proudly, 9" long. She let it slip from her mouth, pondering her next move. Nate didn't dare move an inch, for two reasons: (1) he didn't want to collapse and (2) he was hoping she would suck him off again. But she had other plans. She stood once again, and his cum-covered dick slid across her tits, and along her belly. She scooped the semen from her cheek and her breasts and licked her fingers clean. She wrapped her hand around the base of Nate's cock and slowly tugged him toward the bathroom counter. She turned around and kissed him fully on the mouth, letting her hot, moist lips envelop his. Her tongue danced around his. As much as she wanted him to cum in her pussy, she didn't want to risk getting pregnant. "Don't cum in my pussy, baby! Don't cum in my pussy!" she screamed.
I went to the yahoo's chat room,but no one talked to me. I found out there are so many gramatical mistakes in the room. Ill never go there again. My english isnt good enough,but they are awful.
I might gonna go to the night club which I was rejected twice in a row by bouncer...... I might gonna rejected again..... That would be so gay, and if I would again I will never go back there again.
Yeah, I know but I don't have that textbook. I was a junior student about 15years ago and I wanted to ask you how to do. sorry,I didn't write exactry ....
>>325 Ah.. I have junior high school textbook because I'm high school student... But also my textbook , there are bookstore. It's wrong "Word learning by heart" The best way is many English sentence reading.
Recently, 「KERITAI SENAKA」 has become the center of attention. I think writer's ability of expression is great and the Akutagawa Prize award is wonderful, but... I felt a little poor to how to finish this story. And I think it has not written enough about「Ninagawa」.
>>332 oh i missed you. i wanted to join you. i think i will stay awake until dawn and while i am waiting for the sunlight i will stay alone in this vast ocean of internet, by myself. good bye.
Hi. I come English board in 2-channel at first. My TOEIC score is 425. I aim at 500 points for next TOEIC test. If there are bad English expression in may context, please smash me absolutely and give me god advices. bye!!
chinese or korean spread wrong stories about japan all over the world at message boards abroad ,like america yahoo. anyone who can write english go there ! and argue against them!
i dont think so at all. this is not just a fight but a work for correcting obviously wrong claims that chinese or korean have done about japan , including the claim that Korea originated kendo and judo. or something. so i think , even if it is endless we must keep doing this work. also, for those studying english , debating in english will surely improve their english proficiency level. I mean, killing two birds with one stone
I got it. I'll look at america yahoo. It is really hard for me to argue with them because my English writing is teriible. However, I feel like I have to do something about this as a Japanese. Of course I'm proud of being Japanese and like Japanse culture. I hate that Korean or Chinse spread wrong stories.
hmm... i think its enough. anyway i'm not in a position to make a comment on someone's english skills because my english is poor, too. But maybe , the most important things for posting on such a discussion board are anger against injustice and willingness to protect japan's national glory, aswell as 英辞郎 and Babylon... the strong motivation could make the impossible come true.
I am offended by Kozumi's revisit to North Korea awfully He knows nothing about the indescribable anguish that the famillies of abductees have suffered . but It would appear to me that most of japanese don't feel the same angry as i do about it .i dont know why. Koizumi dai!(氏ね)
Generally, I agree with Kyoto Protocol for the depression of CO2. As for concrete action, we need time to be prepared to a drastic cut of energy consumption.
wow! this is the first time to join 2 channel. You know, all of topics are dead. I am very sorry to see that. but, I agree this topic. Maybe some people wanted the idea. So, it is meaningless if we quit it!!
japanese students study english 4 ten years.but they cant speak very well. it is hard to learn unless u live in a english speaking place so thats probably y we dont learn english u know. if u learn english ud better to go to foreign country. good luck...
>>405 i dont think so. ive never lived abroad but i sound ive lived in america for years, so im told. but i know my english still sounds forign to "netive speakers" almost all the time, anyway. and dont find fault with these sentences please.

>What kind of job do you start? construction LAN,WAN.. the point is... network computing >Is it related to English? No No No! it is far from make good use of work. and job is no connection with English this time. im struggling with dictionary one hand. it nescessity looong loooong time. maybe i think so.
I've been sick for 2days. My stomach(?spell?) is something wrong. But I couldn't explain to pharmacist. How do you discribe when you have problem??? I felt...air(gas?)in my stomach and then I want to hiccup. come on hiccup!! Belch too. uh...
>>431 You are a insect. Not a human. What is human? Human cannot live without insects. Yes, insects make them alive! Your stomach? No, actually it's a room of your friends, insects. You happened to live in the bady's brain.
"Exactly" is an adverb, so you usually only use it together with a verb, a preposition or a verbal phrase, e.g. "I didn't write exactly what I had in mind."
>>473 come on!lol that noun does not mean "old female". but i see what you're trying to say. maybe 27-year-old girl is ok. i just think "woman" is better.
>>486 40 years previous Japan's English education was poor in education itself. The present high school student thinks that it is in the more improved education probably.
>488 I know you did best for that phrase but you would be better to express what you mean for example as
The quality of English education 40 years ago in Japan is poor in term. However, those present students going to high school probably think that the quality has improved more than ever.
I used to chat with a chat-bot called ALICE, but I need more experience of english writing, and I post here. though my sentences may contain errors, I think I'd like to improve skills by get more various experience.
and,,,the felt thing that I read here briefly is that your english skills is poor! nothing could teach me what is better for me. so,,, NO MORE NEED TO COME HERE! BUY!
I admitt that most of Japanese people can't express their feeling accurately because we don't notice there are big diffrences between Japan and English speaking countries in cultuer. So only studying English is not enough.
She's got a lip ring and 5 colours in her hair, Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears, Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear. She don't care.
Everybody wants to know her name, I threw a house party and she came Everyone asked me Who the hell is she?
Yasukuni Jinja Shrine is a kind of asylum where the unsettled souls are contained. In Japanese traditional belief, those who die a tragic death become furious demons. The more powerful he was and the more tragic his death was, the more powerful and cruel the demon would be.
The furious demons were believed to cause every kind of disasters, such as earthquake, plague, famine and warfare. Shrines were built to calm down their wrath and anger. Shinto priests voice holy words, compliment and honor them to prevent their horrible curse.
Yasukuni Jinja Shrine commemorates millions of warriors who died a cruel death. Many Japanese feel they have to coax them to sleep calmly; otherwise the demons would rise and bring great disaster to their former enemies and Japanese themselves.
Even if the Japanese seem to honor "war criminals," it is no more than a way to prevent such spiritual disasters.
Although my nationality is Japanese and I live in Japan, I always struggle with some kind of cultural barrier. I am a senior-high-school English teacher. The more I try to improve my English and English classes, the more stress I have. Recently I have come to understand that the stress comes from kind of Japanese culture. The essence of Japanese culture lies in "implication" and "guessing", I suppose. In contrast, English language requires explicit "claim, expalanation and evidence", which sound very rude to Japanese ears. The following episode would be somehow symbolic. So-seki Natsume, one of the greatest Japanese writers had some experiences as an English teacher and his teaching method was "translation". One day his student translated the English "I love you!" literally into Japanese. Without hesitation, So-seki said, "Don't do that!' It is not the Japanese way. Use the expression like 'Oh, the moon is beautiful, isn't it?' or whatever!"
>>543 You might want to use "candy" instead of "whip." There is no point in torturing yourself anyway. Try not to unduly focus on what you have achieved. Why don't you just loosen up and enjoy English? After all, it is only you who can make yourself happy.
>>543 It is Natsume Soseki who introduced a lot of English-like literature style into Japanese, by literally translating the original English text into Japanese.
Soseki's mind were torn after miserable British days, I guess. Soseki must have realized and at the same time, been afraid of the modern waves from the West.... His style should be the tragic result.

>>592 Thats great!!!! Actually recently i have started to study another language as well as you. It is spanish, and I am really excited about getting new way of seeing.
>>595 When I studied French a little a while ago, I was surprized to know that French and English have so many similarities like in grammar and vocabulary. How about Spanish?
>>596 That will be undoubtedly true because all languages are "creole." You know Spanish is almost the same like you experienced. for instance in Spanish "camara" is "camara." Languages are very interesting dont you think
>>598 Spanish, or more precisely Castillian is an artificial language whose grammar was created by Alessandro Nebrija, a French priest. He presented the Spanish Grammar to Queen Isabela. The grammar first applied to the famous novel "Don Quixote." And Don Quixote was used as the text book to teach Spanish to those people in the Americas.
I am learning Spanish too. There are many similar words such as Bank→BANCO and Music→MUSICA But, Spanish grammar is much more complicated than English.
>>598 "Camera" originally stands for "box" and "room" in Latin. "Camera" turned out to be "Chambre" in French, and came into English, where the spelling changed slightly into "Chamber." This pronunciation "Chamber" was adopted by German and the spelling turned out to be "Zimmer."
I will be able to speak English. I want to believe so. But I know that I can't make the English sentense quickly and rightly. Because I talked with a man who came from Canada,I couldn't say anything. I was sad. Now. I am crying.
>>604 You ARE already speaking English. Don't worry about speed. It'll catch up anyway. I bet your English is a lot better than that Canadian's Japanese!
I wish I could to write natural English. But it is so difficult to write natural English to me. So, English using by me is much poor! What is worse, I can't reach of to use junior-high school's grammar as the "s" that three, single, or it's going now.
I have to use english now work. but I am not good at english. so , I was angry from my boss every day. I want to die. What should I do. Please teach me ero boys.

Today, when I use my PC, I realized. It is very tiresome to switch IME from Japanese-mode to English-mode. If I were good at English, I never recognize such a feel of wasting. so I study English. 3 days at least.
