Breaking news. Teru and his girlfriend just broke up when he went to japan a couple of weeks ago. He didn't have a clue that there's another guy in the picture until he saw her having a funny look on her face. Breaking up sucks. That's a pain in the ass. But that's life, Teru.
hi It's hard to find a boyfriend in Japan If you were gay. One of my best friends who I had feelings for hates me now, Because the other day I came out and said I'm a gay and asked if there's a possibility me and him worked out. Alas, He just gave me a weird look and after that we barely talked each other. Everytime I try to engage in conversation with him, he just hurry away. Obviously he's avoiding me. I'm beginning to disgust in myself now. He is not interested in me? that's fine. I can live with that, but don't hates me. I know I should get over myself and grow up,,,,,but I can't, at least here in Japan. I might go to US in the near future so I'm just wondering if ,,,
>>28 So? Table top role playing game or computer role playing game or multi-player commercial role playing game or multi-player text based role playing game? I've played all those types in my time.
つーか、 If you've played any role playing games and you have your favorites, please let me know. Andi f you don't care, I'd like you to introduce it to me.
>>36 Well I'm not 23, so I could only guess, he probably just wanted to know what RPGs you've played on PS2 or Game Cube or other major consoles. But as he said, apparently you don't need to reply to him any more.
Paul has got very popular among 2channelers. His absolutely good command of Japanese is worth appraising! I respect him. So please access to 2ch more often than we expect! Hope we'll meet here anytime!!
What I want to hear, Paul, is how you've been learning Japanese and what method did you choose.
For your imformation, in Japan, a lot of Japanese people believe DVDs help learn English. A famous person called Ken invented GE, which stands for Global English, and it has caught on among 2channelers.
On the other hand, in London, there's a famous method to learn Japanese?
Hey, don't pretend you're not interested. I know you love girls. What have you studied Japanese for? To hang out with Japanese girls, right? Let's be open-minded.
I'm gonna score with her I like very much at the drink party. When I image it,I can't help laughing. Ehi,ehi,ehi.... Even if she confuses,I'm gonna make out!!! Ehi,ehi,ehi.... What do ya think of my idea?
Hi I am a native speaker ! Off congregation was canceded this time ? that's regurettable thingy When would the next one be?? I would definetly be attending next time around.
>>191 >Are there really native speakers of English here?? *ahem* >At first sight of this thread, Im afraid no native speakers... →At first glance of this thread I'm worried that there aren't.
>>193 worried? He's not worried. He's merely reporting (based on his observation) that there are no native speakers here. Afraid would be more appropriate here.
>>193 you mean its better to use [at first glance of]instead of[sight]?? and I also cannot understand why you used [worry]instead of [afraid] i'd like the explanation for these questions please.
>>198 If I go back to the original >At first sight of this thread,Im afraid no native speakers... 'At first sight of this thread' just felt a bit odd, I can't really pin down why.
'Im afraid no native speakers' on the other hand is out and out wrong. Now I could have used 'afraid' in 'repairing' the second sentence, "I'm afraid that there aren't any."
However I should note that in my opinion the use of 'I'm afraid' always implies a _negative_ view of some situation although it obviously doesn't literally mean 'frightened'.
On second thoughts I'd probably go with a rather looser interpretion: "At first glance this thread appears not to have any."
>>205 Thank you for answering my questions. I'd really like to response to your explanations,but it will probably take at least 20min to understand your responses. If another questions appears,please give me advice again.
>>210 How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A man and his son were in a car accident killing the man and causing severe wounds to his son. When the son was taken into the operating theatre the surgeon exclaimed, "I can't operate on this patient. he's my son!" How could that be?
Leaving out the difference between 1 and 2, the third one is "There was a time when I played the piano" while the first two are "There was a time when I was _able_ to play the piano."
In other words in the third case you might _still_ be _able_ to play the piano, but you just aren't.
That's what I thought! I googled all around and all I could find was bunch of stupid websites that say substantially nothing. and second one ,, I think Ive seen it somewhere still no idea... because his father died! and then the doctor is his fathrer !!! this one has soething to do with homosexuality!? OK !! the answer is "gay marrige"!!
>>236 1.その手があったんですね。^^; コンテキストによれば、 "What will you do at the school festival? I could play piano." てっきり、"I could play piano when I was at school."のような文だけ 考えました。
>>233 oh,thanks,but accutually, i knew [native speakers] is left out in the last of the sentence. that is not my question.
i dont know what is the subjectword. i guess it is probably the sentence[At first glance this thread]. is this correct? and one more question. can i use [seem] instead of [appear] in that sentence??
I'm not really clear on grammatical points like 'subject word' but the main part of the sentence is "This thread appears not to have any" The "At first glance" bit merely modifies that main part.
>>197 > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken. > I'm afraid that you are mistaken.
"the man" could means "his son" as well as "a man", that is, "his son(A)" could mean "his son(B)"'s son. There's also a possibility that people on the other car were (other) sons of "the man" or "his son". It means a family disaster. So, you can pick up any doctor any patient you like from this big family and that can happen.
I think of some other ideas. But it's just like japanese nazonazo quiz ,of which answer is always just a convinient answer for 出題者. つまり、いつも出題者に都合の良い答えではないかと。他に考えられる答えが あるのに。
For example,
A baby and another baby were born from the same parents, at the same place, almost at the same time. But they were not twins. How did it happen?
Both of my breaks are going out on this bike and I would like to get them repaired if possible. About how much do you think it will cost? Also, I need some air put in the tires as well.

>>298 The easiest way to keep your bicycle running well is regularly checking tire pressure. Properly inflated rubber rides best, lasts longest and resists flats. For high-pressure skinny road tires, check before every ride.
>>357 probably,someone being jealous of native speaker's ability becomes ARASI. i wish at least 1 native speaker of english is always here, i know it's impossible though.
