>>36
why do you so bringing down yourself?
everybody thinks you really well done fully!!
it's nice

and now, how `bout talk `bout HW celebrity??
such as Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman and more!
but i guess you here dislike like this, right?

A battle of the minds!

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf An IQ Test that does not rely on the use of language.

What is your score? Mine is 129. I am happy, I didn't expect to get a that high score.

>>39
Angelina is hot and a good actress as far as I've noticed.
Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor. Natalie Portman is okay, I guess?
I need to see the movie Leon with her. It's truly a shame that I haven't
seen it yet. I've heard nothing but good things about that movie.

>>40
A Battle With Yourself!
=Mastusbate Pretty Hardly

>>42
But I've already done that, I'm far more curious about people's IQ scores here
than how quick they can get off when they try the hardest.

The test is pretty interesting too, I'm rather happy it doesn't use any words.

>>41
yea, angelina is the hottest thing of HW...
Mr.&Mrs.Smith is especially incredible awesome movie on their quite prime action!!
and to be candid, im not so familiar with Natalie...
yet i love Reese Witherspoon...
she star on “Cuty Brond”
and New “Walk The Line”
Do you know of it?

>>43
yup, it fascinate...
but im not in tiptop condition now!!
cuz now is the usual sleeping time..
so I'll try it tomorrow!

>>44
Legally Blond?
I've never seen her movies. I do know what actress you speak of though.
And I don't know if Angelina is the hottest in HW, but she indeed is hot.
I haven't seen Mr & Mrs Smith yet.

I got sleeply. I don't know why, but I can not conect 2ちゃんねる directly via
my computer. IS this computer tluble????????!!!!

>>46
you meaning of dislike Reese?
okay, and so who's the hotty in HW do you think?

>>47
I suppose your brain also have troubles...
lmfao

and ２ちゃんねる in English is 2ch or 2 channel
get it on your troubled brain

I do want to get into shape and lose some weight, so I go swimming every morning.

I go running every morning too. Only for like 30mins but makes such a difference.

I'm in the mood for sandwitches for my breakfast.
But the trouble is, I don't have any bread to cook.
I have to give it up and change my mind. What do I eat?
Well, instant noodle shounds good enough. There is a stock of it
in the cabinet. Yes, I think I'll eat it.

How much have you lost so far?

Bad news. As we anticipated, the four of the large-hill representatives
didn't get even blonze medals. No medals means no enthusiasm.
What if we don't get a single medal?

Who's responsible for that? JOC should've done something to ensure we won some medals.

>>46
No, I don't dislike Reese. I just can't give a proper opinion of her, because
I haven't seen her do any acting. And since she is an actress, she should
be judged after her acting skills. She's pretty, but Angelina's more my type
when it comes to her body structure. I don't have a good enough check on
all the actors/actresses in hollywood at the moment, so I can't really give
a good opinion about who's hottest.

>>50-51
Good for you! Keep up the good work! You serve as an inspiration for the
ones in less good shape in this thread. A little can do so very much, if it's
done regularly.

If our figure skaters fail to win a medal, Japanese citizens will start
thinking why JOC didn't try to let Mao Asada in the Olymic competition.
They didn't even call on IOC to consider MAO in the running. They were lazy.
Should've done it!

I didn't get in the argument. So tell me, who's Reese?
Guess it's a female name, but I'm afraid the name didn't ring a bell.
Is Reese famous in Japan?

>>57
Unless Irina makes horrible mistakes, Japanese people can't expect a gold medal.

>>58
I doubt it.
Reese Witherspoon is her full name, here's the info about her at
internet movie database:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000702/

Oh, my. I must have eaten the noodle! I'm out of any instant food!
But I'm no good cook. I need to find something else, maybe frozen food.

>>60
Thanks for the info. I just took a quick look at the photo.
And honestly, she struck me as a little older than she is.
To me, she looks 30 or something.

>>61
I have instant noodles.
I'm munching on them right now. Uncooked. This brand is surprisingly good
as a crunchy snack.

According to a media report, Arakawa Shizuka is expected to get a blonze medal.
I don't know much about figure skating, so I don't figure out why Suguri Fumie isn't.
To put the two of them aside, it's convincing Ando Miki will not get successful in getting a medal
after watching her ferformance in the last few competitions held in Japan. She didn't jump well.

Do you know about the World Baseball Championship? It's going to take place soon.
I was surprised that Ichiro of Marinars would join the Japanese team. Isn't it exciting to
think he will be at bat as a first batter?

I'm really sorry that I missed the NBA all star game!

I don't speak English well. Could you please tell me how to brush up on my English.
What I want to know is,
1) How to discribe things when you watch them.
2) How to say what's in your mind when you need to say it.
3) How to retain your words you learn by heart.
4) Why you can't speak fluently.
5) Why you take lots of time to speak simple sentences.

I've had enough! i can't improve! help me out!

>>67
1) That depends entirely on what you're watching, how you want to convey what you want to convey.
In other words, you need to build up a vocabulary supply of words you can use,
as well as seeing examples of common ways of describing things.
So, study words, read books, watch series/movies and listen to audio samples.

2) Don't worry about conveying exactly everything in your mind, even natives aren't likely to immediately
cough out whatever they wish to say perfectly. But do what was in #1, it applies to this too.

3) Humans have a passive vocabulary, and an active vocabulary. Your active vocabulary consists of the words you
frequently or less frequently use, your passive vocabulary are the words you don't really use because they either feel
unnatural for you to use, or because you're not sure about their exact meaning and usage.
In order to not forget words you've memorized, you need to use them. Either by reading/hearing them, or by using them in your own
sentence compositions.

4) If you can't speak fluently, you need to practice on learning to build
sentences, and to use your phrases.

>>67
5) Hmm? Define simple sentences? The important thing about what you write is that it's communication.
Communication is passing information from person A to person B. In order to do so as efficiently as possible,
you can convey it in various ways. Always remember that you're not saying things just for the sake of you
talking to yourself, but in order to tell someone something. Sometimes, using simple sentences is the best
option, that depends entirely on your target audience. And as well as conveying the information you wish to
convey, you can also convey other things, like your personality, mood, how you feel about the other person, and
many other things. All those things color how you compose the package that contains your attempt at relaying
information. The more practice you have doing something, the easier it will be for you. Practise making
sentences of your own, and listening/reading already existent sentences. Try to think in English instead of
translating from Japanese to English. Practice thinking in English, if you can't find the exact word you want,
substitute with the closest one you know without resorting to japanese words.

check out http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/wiio.html and http://www.pstcc.edu/facstaff/dking/interpr.htm
to read more about communication.

>>68-69
tl;dr

>>68
Very educational.
More often than not, I feel frustrated when writing in/speaking English, by the fact that I can't express what I really want to convey or
even a word won't come to my mind in a bad case. Thinking in English sounds very beautiful and I really very want to do it, but truthfully,
it may be one of the hardest things for me to do. I'm not a bilingual, and I can't be. You might think I'm very negative and I should stop taking
things seriously. Don't worry. I'm not horribly negative, no. To be frank, just a bit so.

By the way, this thread sometimes goes as silent as a pin.
If there's a fan of Ando Miki coming here, we should talk to him with quiet, resolute defiance.
He cannot have a great time without talking about her. But we should accept him to some digree. Rather,
it's better to put him to use as a motivation booster. He is very talkative, isn't he? If he turns up here,
this thread gets very energetic and active. I like it best when a bunch of people are rushing to make use of this thread, having a chat.
So I don't care if a person is having a row with another, chatting merrily, or talking about something serious. Anything goes, as long as
you speak English. That's what the thread is here for, isn't it?
Just to clarify, though, you might not want to copy and past so called AA, It really gets on my nerves.
And even if your discussions, rows, or arguments get too heated, it's best to try not to put down your posters. That's because
if they get too indignant to post here again, it naturally means fewer posters here.
I don't like it. Try your best to be deplomatic with people.
Then, good luck and have fun chatting, guys!

Yukorin often makes news because she's popular. Incidentally, I was mildly surprised that
in a tv show, some girl wanted to have Yukorin leading Japan as a prime minister. I think she's gone too far.
Yukorin is surely pure and innoccent, plus cute and beatiful. But that doesn't mean she has what it takes to be a prime minister.
The girl must've been a Yukorin's maniac. I won't take the side of her.

>>69
I hope you are feeling better k-tan

>>71
I agree with your sentiment. While I am not interested in idol chatter (sorry for the pun), as long as people are speaking English that is all that matters.
I think the Olympics have helped this thread in recent days a lot.

I done spamming in VIP for the day.
Seriously, that forum is too fast for me.

"I'm," rather.

>>73
Yeah, mostly. (^_^) Thank you.

>>70
*shrugs* "An old Usenet saying tells us that to every complex question,
there is an answer which is simple, understandable, and pleasant, and
plain wrong. People love to accept simple answers; only later do they
realize they were wrong. More harmfully, many wrong answers have the nasty
feature of "working" at first sight. It's much more harmful to get such an
answer than to get an answer which turns out to be bogus the first time you try it."
Better a tl;dr type of reply than a short sentence that won't do anything but serve to frustrate
>>67 even more.

>>71 It's always frustrating to learn a new language well, you're far from
alone. Learning to think fluently in English is rather difficult, and
will take some time, but as long as you keep it up long enough, it will happen.
I don't see you as too negative, merely frustrated. When one has mastered
something like ones own native language, and then try to learn a new
language, it certainly is frustrating that it's hard to do something
that adheres to such a far lower standard than what you can produce without
effort in your native language. Though I must say, your English seems fine
to me. You really don't sound like someone who has a lot of problems with
phrasing yourself in English.

Also, it seems to me that Japanese far is more poetical than English. I don't know Japanese yet, but all what I know about the language and the history of japanese poetry certainly suggests that.

Heh? What is the VIP exactly? Someone at one point told me that it was
nothing but a den of trolls.

http://www.loglan.org is rather interesting. A pity I don't have the time to learn it.

ＦＩＮＥ！

VIPPERs really aren't trolls (I'm sure some are, but for the most part).
They mostly just copy pasta AA and hold down the w key a lot.
VIPPERs : 2ch :: GNAA : slashdot

Eh, now that I think about it the analogy really does not fit really.
GNAA does some actual trolling and not a lot of crapflooding.
Maybe the analogy would work better with bantown(a subset of GNAA), but they are not all that well known.

How about: VIPPERs : 2ch :: FYAD : Somethingawful Forums

oh yes oh yes come on!

>>83
That works, but not everyone is familar with SA forums either.

>>78
> Someone at one point told me that it was
nothing but a den of trolls.
>They mostly just copy pasta AA and hold down the w key a lot.

Yep, those two statements pretty much sum it up. :p

testing

Hey guys! Fugure skate's gonna be held in the middle of the night today!!
I'm soooooooo excited!! I hope mikitty will get a gold medal.

ideal for living

i can't patient with been get up `till starts the figure skating...
what should i do

and now anybody here?
chat with me...

>>91
I'm here, briefly.

>>92
hi, K-tan :)
how r u?
what do you wanna talk about?

>>93
No idea. I'm drinking some green tea and trying to figure out how to reply
to an email. Do you have any favourites amongst the figure skaters?

>>94
yea, `course.
i especially like Shizuka Arakawa much..
and Ms.Andoh and Ms.Suguri is not so like...
how `bout you?
how's your green tea tastes?

>>95
It tastes rather good, thank you. And I don't have any favourites in figure
skating. My grandmother, may she rest in peace, was rather fond of it. That
gave me a bit of an interest, however not enough to actually keep track of
good figure skaters. But I certainly won't turn down watching it if I don't
have anything important to do. I saw some figure skating a number of days ago,
male single figure skating, I think it was.
How do people learn to distinguish so quickly between various moves? I found out
last week what the difference between a flip and a toeloop was (it had looked the same to me
before that) and the differences really were minimal o.o;;;

Finally, the time has come when the figure skating competition takes place.
Ando Miki is perfoming as the 14th participant, and Arakawa Shizuka as the 20th or so, followed by Suguri Fumie as the 27th.
I am looking forward to them skating and hope they will win a medal.

According to the Japanese media, the three of them will get successful, but it sounds too optimistic of them to ignore the Rosian
competitive skater Irina. So we'd better hope one of them to get a blonze medal at best.

To k-tan ◆teb9WQfPoU
Are you coming down with something?

>>97
Oh? Interesting.
Though I have to go now if I am to catch my bus, sorry.
See you later

AD, AS, SF, they are the three Musketeers, so to speak!

Suguri Fumie looks as if she's an angel. She's beautiful and sexy.
Her pleading and beseeching expressions on her face in skating is very
appealing to me. I like her a lot.

In my mind's eye, you guys are sitting right in front of TV and waiting
for figure skating to begin. You might as well get connected to 2ch to chat as be absorbed in silly TV programs.
You should make it clear who you are in favor of!

>>96
surely there's also only minimal differences for me...
i don't know n don't wanna know why they can distinguish those..
cuz we are neither referees, commentatories nor experts...rather have no interested in it...
just like shizuka!!
lmfao

nevertheless i got worry about your grandma!!!
does she feel fine?
what's her age?

when the figure starts??
anybody let me know plz

>>101
Frankly, most Japanese consider Ando Miki as a fairly angel.

>>104
Roughly in one and a half hours. I mean, around 2:50 a.m. in Japan.

>>105
my sis n me dont think so at least

>>107
Which is your favorite, then?

>>106
thanks a lot ;) for your information

My pleasure.

>>108
`couse shizuka ;)

>>111
Because of what?

did you know, shizuka was chosen as one of most beautiful olympic athletes on an American magazin?
miki and fumie were lost

*miki and fumie lost is correct

Who published the magazine? Of course, it's an american.
Sure, Shizuka may come across as a bit exotic to them, but still
Ando Miki has been hot for years here in Japan.

However, as I said, I'm a fan of Suguri Fumie. I see a lot in her.

>>115
well, i think Fumie is exotic rather than Shizuka for maybe American and Japanese..
and then i didnt know how she and her skating attract people, but now i know nothing but her sexy expression...
this's the best among any figure skators except faces, bodies or liking to them!!

I didn't say Shizuka is ugly or everything. She looks good.
But the point is she doesn't wear any expression on her face when
she skates. On the contrary, Suguri does. That's why she seems very attractive.

>>117
exactly

Ah, I can't wait any more!!

>>119
huh?
can't you patient sex drive?
just masturbate right now!

>>120
You seemed to lose the thread of what we were talking about.
It's figure skating, of course! I wanna see Suguri performing.

Did you watch Millionaire? Arakawa Shizuka got 5 million yen.

>>121
umm, actually i've been following chats of this thread...
but you say“Ah! I can't wait any more”makes everybody on the world lil bit horny!!!
you should move or write after thinking considerations

>>122
you get joke

>>124
What do you mean?

>>125
you joke＝you kid

i mean you must be kidding

I'm sittin' up too...

>>126
No, I wasn't kidding. She got the money before flying to Italy.

>>128
really??
if it was a truth, she must has quite strong fortunes!!
how come she does, i wanna her to divide her fortunes, if i could....
this's just unfair!

>>129
It's true.
Mino Monta called on her to answer several quizes in the TV variety show,
and she did it correctly. And yes, it was unfair. Considering how much money
JOC will give her if she win a gold medal, 5 million yen is much too huge.
There must be many people who live from hand to mouth.

The ice hocky game seems to last forever.

>>131
ohh, now I hear such an unfair stuff from you and decided to boost Miki and Suguri, not Shizuka!!
5 million is incredible huge money!!
why she is so...
i can't tell you my surprising heart only one phrase...
and at the same time i decided i will be who have more a lot fortunes than shizuka!!
the fortunes don't mean like money, honor, or so..
it just means happiness!
i pray you'll also got the happiness in the future!!

>>133
Yes, it's unfair because many people have difficulty making ends meet.
But she didn't do anything corrupt. She cmplied with the rule of the TV show.
So don't stop being behind Shizuka's back.

Hey! The ice hocky game seems to end. Figure skate will begin in a moment!
Watch TV!

>>134
i suppose you are a really nice person..
i will do as you say..

yea!! it is!!
my heart is beating :)
it's time to start

We've been talking about our representatives of fugire skating.
But isn't it about time to talk about others?

Do you know about Irina Slutskaya?
She is a figure skater, of course. And I'm sure you'll find her very cute and nice.
Irina is most expected to be the champion of the competition.

I've just found her official webpage. Here, take a look:http://www.irina-slutskaya.com/

Ah I made a mistake. The homepage of the site says it's her official FAN site..
But it's a bit funny, isn't it? If a fan of her created a page, it's not official..
I don't get it.

>>136-137
i know i know never mind about FAN site
i guess she's a russian skator..
she may win the gold medal!!

and from now on I'm not sure that can reply for you
cuz im concentrating the figure on TV!!

loves n kisses
bye for a short time

If Yukorin skated, she would deserve a gold medal.

>>139
it's impossible
cuz her body is so tight, it became clear when she do yoga on IITOMO! ZOHKANGO

Break time.

>>141
yea it is!
starts soon..

Miki is about to start....

I don't care about Miki. She will be doing fine.
But I predict Suguri will be an absolute success!

How do you find Ando's performance?

>>145
I can't say only one phrase...
but i excited!!
and now she's almost No.4, No.1,3 are American..
do you think they did good skating?

anyways im expecting Fumie and Shizuka!!

Oh, LOOK!!
Irina Slutskaya is coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She did perfect!! Irina!!

yea!!amazing motion!!

i pray your prediction will strike...

how come her motion is so speedy and no miss and No.1!!!
incredible

She's quick and sharp and cute and beautiful and graceful and everthing!
SHe's perfect!

>>151
you were attracted by her..
i like rather this sexy silvia than irina

Hey, the italian representative was a joke in front of Irina.

>>152
Yeah, I think I am.

>>153
LOLOLO...
she shocked!!

Oi! What are those idiotic Japanese?

Excellent, Arakawa.

Shizuka is at the second place.

unnmmmmm!!!!!!
P E R F E C T ! !
shizuka

she absolutely got the silver medal!

And now, what I'm concerned about most is if Suguri Fumie will beat Irina.

yeah, she'll able to get absolutely!

>>159
She did very fine, yes. That being said, she was no match for Irina..
I'm very of two mind, though.

her full of confidence is the best

>>164
Who? Suguri?

shizuka!
confidence of the finish was excellent

>>166
Do you like her?

>>167
So Much!
just she finished her performance, i commented.
lfmao

Another break time.

>>168
I see. And if Mao Asada participated in the competition, then what?

>>169
umm...i have no idea
Mao is lil cute plus lil childish
so prefer shizuka...

>>170
You would still go for Arakawa.

Hey! It's started again.

>>171
yea!
nobody's gonna reach to shizuka except the russian professional

Sasha is the first.

Sasha Cohen is so cute !!
So far i didnt know such a amazing beautiful girl!!!

and i noticed Sasha is resemble to Reese Witherspoon!!
do you think so?

>>175
Well, I don't know. To me, Sasha looks a little like half-English Becky.

Anyone?

I'm hungry. I need to have something big.

You have to eat something.
Hungry man(or woman) is easy to get angry so quick.

Yes you are right.
You need energy to do anything.
Do you know which part of human body consume the biggest energy?
It is a brain.
So you should eat.

Oh! I foget one important thing.
That is a sex.
This rquires a big ernergy.
So you must keep you musterbation under some decent level.
Or you will be consumed.
So don't ejaculate, OK?

These are storied for man, not for woman.
Sex is recommended to woman before any task.
It is well said that Olympic gold medalist( a Woman) seek sex friend a day before game.

Oh!
I remember the story notorious for sex enhancement.
A woman player had great sex with a male runner.
She got a gold medal.
Man lost.　He said " How can we expect to win a game after running 100 M at a high full speed?"

As far as Takahashi Naoko is concerned, that is not true.
She said she didn't need any boy friend if he didn't understand
what she believed in. As a result, she's not been going with anyone for ages.
In a sense, she is a stoic angel.

anybody let me know what i should dooooo!!!

i wanna be freeeee!!!!

It got suddenly very quiet here..

Nothing is happening.

>>182
Actually, whether it's for males or female entirely depends on what kind
of activity you're doing, and who's the most active one. If the woman
does all the work and the man just lies still, he wouldn't be spendingmuch
energy while as the woman would, which would make the woman the more exhausted
one and the man the one with more energy.

Let's make it happening then!

Yukorin's popularity mainly depends on her cute smiles.

If you're totally clued up with English, I wanna have a conversation with you

Then explain it!

Isn't anybody capable of responding normally? I'm waiting...

>>192
Explain what?

>>193
What do you want?

The news says Kumagai Fumito, one of the board members of LD, is going to be arrested because of falsifying the financial report years ago.
Horiemon will be put in the hard situation.

>>195　A conversation if you please

>>197
What do you want to talk about?
As things now stand, we don't seem to have anything in common.
What topic do you want to share?

>>194
What was your idea, again?

I don't know what u said previously so I'm not sure how you
managed to figure out we have nothing in common.
Well ok I'll introduce myself.
My interests are... erm... books, movies, today's figure skating,
culture, english, ...some of them sound gay but those I came up with
on the spot. So what do you say?
>>198

Nothing? There you are.
I told you there was nothing happening here.

As of now I am going to be called "books" to avoid confusion.

>>200
Let's say, how about figure skating?

Great great! Well what did you think about today's performances?
Any favourites? And where are you from by the way?
>>200

Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutskaya, and Suguri Fumie...
Why do figure skaters look so beautiful? They are all attractive.

Their skating makes them look beautiful.
I was actually stupid enough not to know today's Short Programs were
only half of the whole event, so I seriously thought Irina lost
the Gold she was so eager to get. So I was crying watching her
absolutely perfect performance, trying to imagine how frustrated
she must be to get silver but then I realised there were the Free
Programs yet to be done. Duh me...

I like "Mikithi" best.
How pretty shie is!
http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/52445741.jpg?v=1&c=MS_GINS&k=2&d=F8518A8D41481246B32DCC4A4817ABA2

Anyway I like Arakawa, and to be honest I thought Suguri deserved
to top Arakawa today. But then again I'm not an expert so I couldn't
judge who's better.
Sasha was a stunner wasn't she? She deserves to be first. She did
so well, and I hope she doesn't make any mistakes in the free program.

Do you know about Manabe Kaori? She is an idol who loves PCs and the Internet.
Her blog is popular. That's because she writes what she feels and think in it.
And she has a good figure and looks cute. I like her.
More importantly, as she is a fan of the net, you can't deny she is hooked on 2ch.
So if I met her by chance offline, even anonymously, I would ask her out.

I was crying watching Mikity... She looked so nervous and
I really wanted to support her. But you know what I didn't like
Mikity until today because I thought she doesn't perform as
elegantly as the other two... but! She is under so much pressure
and she practises so hard so I concluded it's harsh to dislike
her. Besides, she IS the only one who can spin 4 times in a jump.

Oh my god don't ask her out!
I've heard Manabe Kaori is quite smart. I like the way she presents
news.

>>207
There are a number of Japanese people who are in support of Miki.
Yes, I know she is very hot.

>>206
Sasha performed better than Irina. That's why she is at the first place.
Anyway, I like both of them. They are pretty.

Mikity is now only seventeen, so She can try the next Olympic.

>>212
Do you know what? You're kind of grossing me out because
you sound like a "kimoi yastu". Your conclusion ALWAYS seems
to be "Anyway I like her she's pretty".
As u said earlier maybe we don't have anything in common...

>>214
You don't know what you were doing.
See >>208
>Anyway I like Arakawa

>>215
I think you got my point wrong.
My point was, you are too desperate for girls.

>>216
I was wondering why you are desparate for girls when you say a girl is pretty.
Could you kindly tell me why?

>>216
You want he should be desperate for boys?

>>218
I'd rather he'd be desperate for adults than children.

>>217
I say you're desperate because you mention it too many times as if
that's the point you want to make every time.
I mean, ok let's talk about ice skating. And then you say
Sasha and Irina are pretty, in fact everybody's pretty, and
then you repeat it again at the next chance you get.
So the conversation got a bit pointless you know?
And then out of nowhere you mention kaori manabe and how much you
like her. When you said "I'm going to ask her out", I thought
you must be a nerd/geek/kind of gross and that you think about girls
all day long. That kind of got me grossed out.
But then maybe you don't notice because you're you.

>>220
Get a grip on yourself.

What genre of literature do you enjoy the most books?

>>222
Porno, I guess.

Get back to serenity
Come on strong, set your spirit free
Get back to serenity
To yourself and to the true reality

Sorry, but I have my hands full right now.

Hmm, this thread is interesting. What I'm wondering is how many
people here are Japanese and how many people are from English speaking
countries.

>>226 does it really matter? You could take a straw poll if you like.

I like suspense/thrillers,
I read the da vinci code recently (I know, it's kind of late)
and I thought it was really good.
>>222

you really don't have to criticise someone for just wondering>>227

hey let's all get lost

I myself like science fiction mostly. Some of my favorites are cyberpunk (Neuromancer for instance), but I also like Dune and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gallaxy

music is my ONLY friend. what the fuck!! I can't deal with the real world!
I DONT WANT TO LIVE IN ILLUSIONS! HELP Me!

Cheer up emo kid

this is for real!!! I can't be with people! what's wrong with me? I feel like
I can't grow up!

bye.

The attitude that you don't care about the fact that you won't quit NEET, is very shameful.

but I think I like you, I respect you. We are best friends.

A cup of tea would be good.

Is anybody here? I've just gotten up and I'm watching fugire skating on TV.
Do you know when Ando Miki is scheduled to perform?

I missed the figure skating because i post to 4-ch all day.

What do you mean? It is being broadcast now.

How in the world can figure skaters be spinning that fast? I think I'd feel giddy if I spin three times on the spot.

>>242
Absolutely. They are well trained.

>>240
What's 4ch? Sounds like it's like 2ch.

>>239
I've been watching it, too. I think she's not performed yet.
Perhaps, she is doing her stuff in the next group.

I'm way sure Arakawa Shizuka will do well. Many Japanese expect her to make it,
as well, because she's less than a point behind the current top skater.
But what if she fails? There's a chance she does. On that case, I hope you will
not get irritated. Let's see a bright side. Another our representative, I mean Suguri Fumie,
can make up for Arawaka's mistake. Suguri is at the 4th place now.

Finally, Japan could get a medal, to say the least! Happy!

>>246
Yep, I agree.

Ando Mikity is showing up in no time.

Ando!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did she do?
I'm in my office and can't watch TV...

Well, she worked hard, though she made a few misjumps.
Please give her a big hand, everyone.

>>249
Sadly, she is completely out of the running, Mikity. She's at the fifth place now
but more than 10 skaters are supposed to perform. But I know she did her best.

Anyway, she was wearing a bit too thick make-up.

>>249
As she said in a press conference, Ando tried a quadruple jump, though she missed it.
Maybe the misshot influenced her whole performance.

Look! Sasha Cohen is coming up!

Shizuka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She may have a good oppotunity to get the gold medal, now that Sasha made a few misstakes!!

SHE DID IT!!
Arawaka is positioned at the first place.

Now, Suguri is performing. I believe she will follow case!

Oh, I don't understand why Suguri's score didn't come to so much.

Arawaka got the gold medal!

KITA!!!!

Superb, exellent, outstanding, I don't know what words can discribe Arakawa's performance is.

>>244
4-ch is a board like 2ch run by an Australian at ttp://4-ch.net/
VIPPERs recently have been visting, so it might be a tad bit messy
Most of the boards are in English, but there is one mixed Japanese/English board
You aren't likely to be harassed for posting on the other boards though as long as you at least attempt English

>>260
>You aren't likely to be harassed for posting on the other boards
>though as long as you at least attempt English

Not much like 2ch then.

>>261
Yeah, it is much smaller, so more relaxed.
Nevertheless, it would be cool to have an all-English board on 2ch.

I'd say today's TV news will be full of Shizuka's achievement at the competiton.

I didn't know about Sasha Cohen. But now she is an angel to me.

hahaha. you are mistaking now. the word angel perfectly fits for my Emma Watson.

say yeah
you're the inspiration

ttp://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20060224-00000114-yom-soci
the company those arrested worked, "ILLEGAL"

dont'say so what,plz.

We will be happy!

Yes,me done.

How Japan should take a policy to solve many NEETs?

>>270
Forced labour. Have a ditch that needs dug? Make the NEETs do it!

Everything gonna change for the better! And finally we will be happy!

>>272
What are you talking about?
What is gonna change?

What kind of effort should I do to make Maki Horikita girlfriend?

At first you should take off your pants and expose your most valuable thing to her to prove
that you can satisfy her to the extreme.

>>273
They are going to get a job, move out of their parents house and stop being a NEET

I pushed my way through the crowd to get near Sasha Cohen for a better look.
She was smiling happily and I wanted to have a close look at her!

>>275
If you really want to be friends with her, be polite and seize the moment.
I mean, always try best to get around her. And try best to be as enthusiastic as you can in her presence,
so she will notice your presence. Then next, don't feel coy and embarassed to talk with her. You don't have
to wear a serious look on your face. It'd make her nervous. Do be as casual as possible.
If you persist in talking to her like that, she'll consider you as your friend.
Good luck. I hope you two will be good friends with each other.

>>265
Emma Watson? What do you see in her? If you ask me, there is a more suitable word to describe her: Mud blood.
She plays Hermione, one of the witches in Harry Potter, who has muggle parents. She is referred to as Mud Blood.
How can you say a Mud Blood is an angel? There's no telling she is an angel. On the other hand, Sasha Cohen performs
gracefully on the ice skate link like an angel literally. No wonder if she had wings on her back.

I guess Damn ◆Pqmpta.hko got beside himself when Arasaka Shizuka got the gold medal in her hands.
He was a very big fan of her.

No Japanese dare to contradict those who are in support of Shizuka for fear of getting
a snide remark like you're a trechery if you aren't happy with her success! But honestly,
I don't bring myself to pay tribute to her because of Suguri. Didn't you see her answering almost in tears to the interveiwer?
Her voice was trembling. But she didn't lose control of herself. I was more touched by Suguri's defiant attitude than by Shizuka's success.
So in my veiw, Suguri deserved a gold medal, although she didn't actually achieve it.

Did you see the exhibition?

After I watched a TV report, I changed my mind.
Contrary to the other two fugire skating representatives of Japan,
their folks of great wealth, Arakawa Shizuka accompreshed worldwide
fame from a humble background. Her mother has been supporting Shizuka
for almost 20 years, both economically and mentally. I was moved.
Without her mother's solid support, her performance would have fallen through.
The point is, Arakawa Shizuka encouraged all Japanese to keep up doing their best
through her performance, even if they are in trouble or faced with hardship now.
In other words, let me quate a proverb, if there's a will, there's a way.

By the way, though, I don't want the Japanese media not to beatify Shizuka's everyday life
too much, though it happens as is often the case with them... It will ruin our aspirations.

Hello, I saw the thread at 4-ch. LOL.

The thread? What's the thread?

I know what I like

Yes, but I'm sure she will be back.

No one is here.

I am lonely. I am about 40 yearsols ojisan. Only female teenagers can solve this loneliness.

Why didn't you get married when younger?

Don't ask me to caress you, by the way. I'm a male.

I had no chance to marry someone when I was young.
And I don't want you such as a stupid boy to suck my cock.
I want young female.

I'd say you should single out a female in her 30's.

that's too much older for me to choose my lover.]
the younger the better

But you are almost as old as she. She's not too old for you to see.

>>304

I am fat so I always care about global warming.

Ah, you sweat in hot days.

When I am in deep melancholy, there are 2 things that can solve my tragedy.
one thing is listening to old music懐メロ、the other is looking at Tenkarin pictures.
If Tenkarin were my girlfriend, I would be very happy then....

I am always thinkimg about Tenkarin. I want her to know that.

>>310
I'm sure Tenkarin would have been very frightened, had she known.ww

No one is here.

would bendy skater Arakawa shizuka take the gaijin cock?

Oh.. Drink plenty of warm liquids and c-vitamin filled fruits? Perhaps have some chicken soup too?
I hope you'll get well soon.

No surprises there.

Good afternoon k-tan, how are you today?

re: >>314
How can they offer HIV tests with immediate results? I believe that to be vary irresponsible.
There is a test that can be done to the HIV antibody that is farily straight forward, but you need to be tested at least twice over at least 65 months.
While these tests might reveal that someone is infected, I would be more worried about someone thinking that the test proves they are not.
They might then not use protection because of these tests, which are probably not done by a professional!

Minagawa came in fourth by 0.03 sec...

>>322
Hoping I'm not going to come down with a cold again, fairly alright otherwise.
You, yourself?

>>323
I don't know how certain rapid HIV tests are, I found a page on it through google, though
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/rapid_testing/
Sadly I don't have the time to read it right now, need to finish studying before it's too late
to think straight today.
And I have to agree about that it's worrysome that people might think they
need to use protection because of the tests, however, i think that it's far
more likely that the tests will change nothing, except for making it clearer
that there is a danger with unprotected sex. I think, the best thing would
be to make teenagers fully aware about the dangers of unprotected sex.
I'm thinking, sexual education at school would be a good idea, though
it would need to be very well designed, if the sexual education will be
given by the regular teachers. I think that they're likely to be terribly
embarassed and have great problems with doing their duty. But that's just
a guess.
Bigger and more public condom advertisement campaigns, too, perhaps?
Not sure on how they'd pull that one off, though.

>>280
yea...i did!
but practicically she won!!
im so glad!
she's our japanese honor!!

according to wikipedia:
ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_testing#Rapid_or_point-of-care_tests
"Rapid or point-of-care tests
Rapid Antibody Tests are qualitative immunoassays intended for use as a point-of-care test to aid in the diagnosis of HIV infection. These tests should be used in conjunction with the clinical status, history, and risk factors of the person being tested.
The specificity of Rapid Antibody Tests for in low-risk populations has not been evaluated.
These tests should be used in appropriate multi-test algorithms designed for statistical validation of
rapid HIV test results.
If no antibodies to HIV are detected, this does not mean the person has not been infected with HIV.
It may take several months after HIV infection for the antibody response to reach detectable levels,
during which time rapid testing for antibodies to HIV will not be indicative of true infection status.
A comprehensive risk history and clinical judgement should be considered before concluding that an individual is not infected with HIV."

and what's goin on?

>>327
Yeah but it's a whole lot better to give an instant test _and_
explain its weaknesses then it is to give _no_ test.

>>328
Not much on my end, working on memorizing texts I'm going to have a test on later.
You? How did you celebrate Shizuka Arakawa winning the gold?

>>329
I agree, I think it's also an excellent opportunity to inform them about
the other dangers beside aids that they risk putting themselves through
when having unprotected sex. Ruining your life is never a good thing.

I do think that the awareness of safe sex and such should be raised.
Sexual education needs to be done by someone, be it the schools or one's parents.
I cannot speak from experience with these tests, but it seems like they are given vouchers to go to a clinic?
I got the impression that it was a right then and there thing from reading the article the first time though.
The picture seems to back this up, maybe they are refering to different instances?

>>329
Giving the instant test without explaining the need for a follow up test months down the road would be a bad thing.
Getting people tested is good, yes. However, one must avoid the caveat of people thinking it is ok because they got tested.

yea k-tan!
Go get'em!
but i have a Eiken tonight!
good night!
sweet dreams!

today was correct*

>>332
Two different set-ups.
1. Free vouchers to go to a clinic for STD tests but _not_ HIV.
2. On the spot HIV tests.

In neither case does it say what information is given or
discussed although you can assume that there won't be very
long conversations with the on the spot tests.

I'd like a word with you in private.

I don't believe Yukorin's fart smells like vanilla. It sounds ridiculous.

What's going on in 4ch? I haven't visited it for a long time, and today the site seems full of mess.
To be honest, I don't like it. I won't post there in any case unless it becomes a bit more quiet.

Hihi waloswalos

>>340
Last I heard, the VIPPERs were invading it, or something like that

I think you had better sing at the NHK Nodojiman, not staying home all day as a NEET.

>>302
Horiemon said money could buy women. What do you think?

I wonder what Yoshikawa Hinano will become of after he is guilty.

NEET is not a stupid lazy but a wiser wholoves freedom.

Is it ok to be a NEET if you are wealthy? (And not just leeching off your parents)

Wealthy neet is a real winner I bet.

>>346
?
?
?

>>344
money can buy men too.
The question is, what people you wish to buy and how.
If you want to buy someone to be yours for a long, long, long time, that will not work.
Because you will both become gravely miserable, such is the curse of money-purchased loyalty and love.
If you wish to buy a non-standard favour, that is easier, but favours are best bought by other reasons
than money as main currency, but perhaps greased by money.

Love is much more important than money!
I think so. So does my lover Tenkarin!!! We love each other!

>>351
Why don't you get a job?

>>352
Mind your own business!
I am finding a job now to prepare for marriage with Tenkarin!!

>>353
Who is Tenkarin?

>>352
"my friends got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick
she tells me every day, he wants more dinero just to stay at home
well my friend, you gotta say...

I won't pay, I won't pay, no way
Why don't you get a job
say no way, say no way, no way
why don't you get a job"

>>353

No, please, tell us who Tenkarin is!

Let me tell you what she is like.
Tenkarin is an infant girl. There has been a fan of her here. I once talked with him
before. Last time we talked, he uploaded her photo here. It showed that she was just
ten or eleven years old. Maybe she'll grow up to cute. But honestly,
it's mad to say you want to get married to her now. I can't believe the poster considered
going out with her. I'd say he must give her up.

You got a little carried away.

How quiet this thread is...

Get a hold of yourself.

After MAS decided to leave this thread forever, no native speaker's turned up here where there are a bunch of idol maniacs
haunted with a silly idea that they can get get married not only to Japanese idols, but also to overseas actresses such as Emma Watson.
I don't say they should drop their enjoyment like that, but they might keep it secret. I think MAS felt tired of talking with Emma maniacs.
That's why he left.

We should reform this thread to lure as many people to come here to stay as possible.
Otherwise, 4ch will replace 2ch.

In my opinion, Emma's maniacs are ok,
but we should expel Tenkarin's.
She's too young to chat about here.
If we are successful in getting them out of here,
it'll do the trick for now.
Many people will come back and talk about something else.
Politics, Science, Ecology, anything will do.

By the way, It seems to be that warehouse man who is Emma's stalker, hasn't been here for aseveral weeks.
I hope he is right. Or did he get fired from his warehouse?

I don't know what he's up to lately, but I do hope he's alright as well.
He struck me as nice and cheerful. I myself had a good time chatting with him
long time ago. I mean, I didn't met him here so often.
Do you know if he went see Harry Potter 4? If he did, he might have come here
to talk about it enthusiastically. He couldn't stop himself from postiong here.

We belong together here in the thread.

Do you like Che Ju? She appeares in a TV drama every sunday.
She's been popular in Japan since Sonata in the winter did catch on around Japan.

According to the media report, Shizuka Arakawa, the gold medalist at the Torino figure skating competition, will start studying
English so that she can become a professional skater in the US.
I read in some thread here that some posters felt sorry for her answering to an American interviewer only "I don't know".
But I'm sure English is not so big a problem. She can skate best in the world!

How does Tenkarin feel when she notices that she is being loved by old ojisan and her photos are used by his usual masturbaton..?

One answer I came up with is, "terrified".

that ojisan is older than her parents...
that ojisan is hentai...

Well, I responded to you in spite of myself...
Should have ignored it. Tenkarin shouldn't be mentioned here.

Do you know about a Korean girl who plays Che Ju's little sister in the TV drama?
I've realised she's cute. I guess she's popular in South Korea as well.

のーあいどんと

>>360
That is certainly untrue, for I am a native English speaker.
The idol chatter can be annoying at times, especially since I have no clue who is being discussed.
That isn't to say I would be interested in the first place if I did.
Who was MAS though? I've only been reading these threads ocassionally since part 34.
I'm not really sure how many other fluent English speakers there are that lurk, maybe 10?

>>373
Would you teach us to improve English ability for non-Englsih speakers?
As you are a native, is it too natural to learn English?
I don't nkow how to brush up my English writing.

>>373
There's lots of us lurking here.

>>373
I didn't know native speakers paid a visit here after MAS left.
To answer your question, MAS is an English male who has an interest in Japanese culture.
Unless I'm mistaken, he had been posting in the series of the threads from part 20 or something
until around 40. So you would have read him if you had taken a look often at that time.

>>374
Writing English is probably easier compared to spoken. However, there is no shortcut.
If you want to be a better writer you will need to read a lot aswell as write frequently.
Take a topic you are passionate about or want to learn more about and write an essay in English.
It doesn't need to be long, even a paragraph will do when you are starting out.
Even if you do not have someone else proofread what you have written, you are still getting practice.
Do not be too harsh on yourself over mistakes. English has a myriad of irregular verbs and esoteric grammar rules.

If you are worried about spoken English most of the same things apply. The best way to improve is through practice.
If you are having trouble with a certain phoneme, look up how it should be done and practice in front of a mirror.
Once you have the phoneme down, try it it some words in the same manner.
If you are having trouble comprehending someone's speech, watching English television will help.

>>377
Thank you very much for your kind and accurate advice.
I have to write English sometimes by e-mail on business.
So, it's imperative to study English ….
Thank you anyway. I'll try keeping a daiary from today.

I can die for Tenkari. Someone vows he can die for horikita maki. some of you can die for Yukorin. but others can die for his wife and girlfriend.

What do you admire about Tenkari?

I admire her beautifulness , her innocent heart and her love for me.

>>375 Hell yeah. I don't really post that much though, only some days.

Isn't it a bit delusional to think that she is in love with you? Are there not many other innocent and beautiful women?

I love Tenkarin! I believe so does her!!

Nothing can be changed in this thread. you are always talking about idol....

Who is Tenkarin? I don't know her.

she is my fiance. but is less than teenager. she is very beautiful.

Is she a singer or an actress?
please write her name in Japanese.

甜歌りん！　she is not an actress, idol or shinger. she is just an angel

NEET, lolicon, idol geek , or computer nerd. which is more ugly?

She seems to be a junior idol. She is cute.
But I'm wondering if she is beautiful.

It take a few years for her to grow into glamorous and beautiful.

>>391
What do you think is the difference between "cute" and "beautiful"?

>>379
Children are fickle. Especially mature feelings such as serious love,
you really can't expect to find in younger humans. Children often have
the attentionspan of sugar-O.D.ed ferrets. Not exactly something that breeds
commitment and serious love.

Your worthless explanation cannot shange my love for Tenkarin

So you've already been a big fan of her.
When she grows up,will you still love her?

>>396
Of course I will!!!

>>395
probably change your love, though LOL

>>398
I won't change!

Scandal is the furthest image for tenkarin.
your idol yukorin is scandalous.lol lol lol

I want you to invite my wedding party with Tenkarin.

>>393
Sorry for my late replay.
I used the word "cute" as pretty and attractive but not matured meaning,
and "beautiful" as refined more aesthetic meaning.

That's enough! No tenkarin in this thread, please. We'd better be a bit more serious.
If I were you, I would go for Yukorin.

>>385
What would you like to discuss?

>>404
You, go ahead.

Change the topic as you like.

Yukorin might seem slow or dumb because of her way of talking, but
it's her trick of letting males fall in love with her. No one really believes
there exists any Korin planet in the universe, but most of her fans pretend she's right,
all because of her enchantment.

Where is Tenkarin from? The Karin planet?

Ando Miki started practicing figure skate in earnest after she watched Shizuka Arakawa
performed in 1996 olympic. They became a good friends. Ando calls her Shi-chan.

>>405 I'm not an exceedingly interesting person, so I'll just assume you meant that I should pick a topic.
What are your hobbies?

I enjoy reading a variety of genres of books: fantasy, sci-fi, and even non-fiction.
Some of my favourites are Terry Pratchett's Discworld and William Gibson's Neurmancer.
The non-fiction I read is mostly philosophical; Locke, Sartre, Voltaire, Plato, and Kant to name a few.
Another hobby of mine is listening to music. I'll listen to just about anything, but I perfer triphop, ambient techno, and drum and bass.

>>410
I like reading too.
In fact, I'm reading Flower's for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It's the second time
to read the book since I did it several years ago. I'm almost halfway done.
But my favorite is Harry Potter when it comes to English books. I read all of the Harry Potter series over and over again.
In Japanese, I love who-done-it kind of books. Intersting novels are my passion, so to say.

Anything else?

>>410
I like music as well.
I try not to get too bogged down in genre names, but I tend to like hardcore and other techno,
noise/experimental, mashups, chiptunes, some Japanese pop and game music, some non-mainstream rap,
and a whole bunch of other stuff.

>>410
"Terry Pratchett's Discworld and William Gibson's Neurmancer"
Ooo, neat! I highly recommend you read the other books and short stories William Gibson
has written, by the way. But then again I'm biased, I find the cyberpunk genre rather fascinating.
And I have to love Gibson's style and stories.
Philip K. Dick has written some rather interesting stories too, even though
they're not cyberpunk.
And that reminds me.. I need to get around to reading the rest of the DW books I have't read yet.
Though I probably should just re-read all books by now, it's been too many years since last...

Hm.. Don't mind me.. I tend to get overly enthusiastic when it comes to literature, art and other stuff.
It's really been too long since I read a lot of book in one go. I've only read around ten books so far this year.
And I still haven't read the two books by Machiavelli I borrowed from my boyfriend at this new years -__-;;;
At least I did read the other book I also borrowed from him, immediately after getting home.. Ah well.

I'm the same as you k-tan.
I have a list of books that I plan to read, but I just have not gotten around to.
People always seem to recommend new books faster than I can read them.

I'll get you moving!

I'll pay you back tomorrow.

Don't take this the wrong way. But it's best to have as many Emma's maniacs as we have here.

Anybody?

Do you mind if I stop by your house?

Go ahead!

Are you sure? Will you accept me?

Only if you give be nice head

Have you heard that there's been an arguement about the law that applies to the Japanese emperorial families?
The biggest point of the discussion focuses on who succeeds the position of emperor. According to the current law,
even if the would-be princess Aiko get married to someone and give birth to a baby boy, he couldn't succeed her.
So prime minister Koizumi tried to revise the law to get things straight. But a number of knowledgeable-to me unflexible idiot-people
spoke against him and thwarted him. Some politician said something very out-of-date. It went like this:
If the next princess Aiko studied abroad and fell in love with a foreigner with blue eyes and blond hair,
it would be a problem.
What is the problem? That sounds very irrational to me. If Princess Aiko loves an overseas man
and he loves her as well, then there's not a single reason they can't get married.
So we should amend the flaw of the old law, and let her get a life.

Why does Japan still have an emperor? The Imperial family is rarely seen in public,
they might as well not exist.

>>425
Are you serious? There are a number of nations in the world that have an emperor.
Look at Great Britain and other Europian nations.

>>424
I'm thinking it's more important to pass the position down in a straight line.
So the direct children of the family should be the ones getting the position, not
others unless there are no decendants at all in the immediate family
About the argument they've given there - isn't it the same thing if a
prince got married with a foreigner? I fail to see what gender has
to do with it.

Maki Horikita is very pretty. She is the most pretty idol. That's all. Thank you for your hearing of my explanation about her.

>>428
you're welcome.

>>427
I agree with you. So prime minister Koizumi should carry out reform of the Imperial law.
Unless princess Kiko, who is pregnant, gives birth to a baby boy,
the Imperial throne can't come down in a straight line.

So the law should be revised to authorize the system in which princess Aiko's future babies can
can succeed the Imperial throne.

>>430
I hope she gets a girl. Though with all the stress she's probably
suffering from right now because of all the hubbub with the immediate future of the
imperial law depending on the gender of the baby she's going to give birth to,
I wouldn't be surprised if she miscarried.
Must really suck ass to be her.

The news said Shizuka Arakawa got back here in Japan.

>>432
You're quick

>>433
Thanks for your prompt reply.

>>434
I don't think you're in a position to reply that way sweetheart

>>435
Why not?

K-tan has been rarely seen here lately. Why?
Did she desert the thread? I miss her.

I don't know exactly why she stop coming here, but I read that she responded to someone, said
she came down with something, and is supposed to finish up a report or something.
Perhaps, she'll be back after she's finished with it.

>>436
nevermind

>>431
Yeah, no wonder if she is feeling all too nervous now. The media and jornalists shouldn't
make a fuss about her baby if they really care about princess Kiko.

Yukorin is my princess.

>>437-438
Are your eyes tired? Read >>414.
She comes here from time to time, although she seems too busy doing her business to spend time with us.
So don't worry. She's always here with us.

437-438,442
I'm sorry but you guys are just sad

>>443
How come you are sorry?

>>443
Because you usually apologize before you insult someone

Do you believe Shaque Yumiko underwent plastic surgery? Some people
suspects she did.

>>446
And some ppl believe she got her nose jammed between train doors?
Come on, it's obvious to anyone.
Otherwise she must be undergoing some sort of disfiguration syndrome.

>>447
I'm under the imression that someone made her undergo horrible surgery by implying that
she would lose her popularity if she remained as she looked.
she must have been suffering from a pressing horror or something.

Shaku didn't expect, I guess, to be transformed into what she looks like now.
It isn't what she really wanted, is it? She reminded me of Michelle Jackson...

As I see it, Shaku Yumiko is natural. I mean, she's never been surgically improved.
Some of you here who persist in saying her face has been changed, need to open your eyes wide
and see what plastic surgery means. The thing is, women change day by day, such as their outside and
inside. Shaku may have been changed dramatically in a short space of time. But that's all.
No evidence can show she underwent any surgery.
To begin with, you might not take advantage of someone who is tired of reading rubish articles.

It is high time to change the subject, isn't it?
How long have you been learning English?

I have been studing English for almost 20 years, but I have been loving Maki Horikita for 1 years,
she is pretty,

20 years? That sounds great.

Do you think she got plastic surgery done, Maki?

Maki chan is very pretty, she needn't take any plastic surgery at all.
I love maki chan. makichan is very pretty!!!!!!!

I didn't say she is ugly or something. Don't take this the wrong way,
but people say many idols had such surgery. It's just a question.
You don't know whether her face have changed or not, do you? If she had
undergone it before, you can't expect any chance to know how she looked
as a girl, can you?

Umemiya Anna and Julia Roberts look alike. I can't tell them apart.

You need to buy thicker glasses to see diggerence.
Julia is more beautiful Besides Julia's tits are more larger.

Why, did you get involved with Julia Roberts? How come you know her tits are larger?

I have trouble remembering who Horikita Maki is or what she looks like. Is she an obscure idol?

Yes, other any circumstances in which the two of you might be more than just good friend...
What would you say, I was wondering if it turned out you realised you'd been a daft prick,
got down on your knees and begged her to reconsider what you would do, then reconsider?

>>452
are you a her nerd?

>>450
Oops... I think you are stupid.

>>460
Don't be thick. You *are* stupid. Maki chan is a living proof there's an angel in this world.

>>461
Even if you love her, you can't change from her stalker into her boyfriend.
By the way you study English for 20 years, How old are you? 32 years old?

your sperm sucks

Is there anybody who want to chat now?

I like intabitants of Mr.Omote's thread.
They are very unique and interesting.

I want to chat! But ONLY if you're fluent in English.

Is Mr.Omote Saburo Omote under this thread?
I've never read it. As you recommend so,I'll try reading.

>>466
Unfortunately, I'm not a fluent English speaker.
Which level do you require?

You are perfectly good at Korin Language. KoriEFL score is 300.

>>469
idol topic again?w
466 is not the same person of 469, is it?
If you like to talk about Korin, go ahead.
But I don't know Korin well.

If you sniff Yukorin's fart, then you would be addict to the vanilla aroma.

One simple question is why you are so obsessed to talk about
idols like Yukorin. That is the most interesting thing to talk
for you? or It's just a kind of joke?
I guess your English level is quite high.

Everyone feels themselves lonely, they just want to talk about little things rather than something academic.
This thread exists just for them.

Altough you might be right,
I write in this thread to get used to using English rather than
to feel lonly. I watched this thread for a few days. main talk was
about idols. talking little things is OK. but there are many kind of
little things.movies,hobbies,and so forth. Is it difficlt to do daily talk?

What kind of casual talk do you want to enjoy?

I think the majority of people who write in this thread are sad
gross akiba-kei otaku who devote their lives to yukorin because they
can't get any girls in the real world.

Even "How's going today?" is OK.
I would enjoy reading your daily life.
Although I might be against at talking about Idols,
It is amusing if it is not so often.

I dislike Yukorin. I am in love with Maki Horikita

Yukorin is pretty. Maki chan is more pretty.

>>466
What would you like to discuss?
>>478
There is a diary thread in English somewhere, at least there was.
I'm sure someone with a list of links will post eventually.

Oh, my god. It's so hard to read your guys English. Nobody in America speak that kind of English in chat or IM.
Why don't you guys use the abbreviated word such as ASAP or sup??

Absolutely not.

His theory proved to be faulty.

TGIT！

It's about time for lunch.

>>482, you think you're American?

It's...

"Oh, my God. It's so hard to read your English. Nobody in America speaks that kind of English in chat or IM.
Why don't you guys use abbreviated words such as ASAP or sup??"

-Western people always write the name of God with upper case letters.
-Rather than "nobody", I would use "no one".
-"read your guys English", now that's a mistake even the daftest Americans wouldn't make!
-This is Japan. People here use "kawaii" or "NEET" but not "sup" or "ASAP". FUck off if you don't like it, you stupid hick.

I don't capitalize god or him because I am agnostic. If someone tries to correct me I tell them to stfu.

This world is called three dimensions generally.
And you may make what the next axis anyway because there is the
virtual world, but, to the fourth dimension, it is good,
and "time" is used because utility is high and is easy to do imagination.

I get possible to express a solid a position
changes by a trace of a ball or speed or time of a car
when I can gain the favor of a variable by time that is move.

Because it is indigestibility to me who will be rich
to become than 5 dimensions,
it is only words, but a thinker saying with Ouspensky
is in the time when the fourth dimension axis moves linearly
and I become plane in time and preach the sixth dimension axis
in his dimension theory more
when I add the fifth dimension axis if, in addition,
I become three-dimensional in time.

Perhaps I think that it may be said in a meaning
that 7 dimensions of Christ transcends 6 dimensions
of ideas of this Ouspensky.

It is the hardest for me when if I can have a chance to choose Maki Horikita or Saki Fukuda as my wife.

>>490 You shouldn't translate for a jerk-off like >>489
>>491 Fuck off with your Maki and Saki you're so gross you should
be dumped in the sewers and spend the rest of your stupid life covered in shit.

Saki is more sexy. Maki is more pretty. Both are quite pretty.
Thier supeority make me hard to choose which.

Being in the sweetest imagination with Saki or Maki each day, is my many parts of the day, sir.

I can do it! what is that?

Who's Saki?

Fukuda Saki! She is the most pretty idol in her member of Beautiful Girls' Club 31!
Check it out!

>>487
"-Western people always write the name of God with upper case letters."
I don't. But then again I do not profess myself to any major religion, in
addition to my bad habit of often writing sentances all in lower caps.

>>498

Correction: Western people are SUPPOSED to always write it with upper case letters...

By now you shoulda somehow realised what you gotta do.

>>499
Pfffft. We're not supposed to, unless you actually are talking about God as a
name. Religious people call their god the name God. Some unreligious people too.
But that's it.

Alright, so headaches and dehydration is a bad combination, especially when you're
already sleep deprived. Sorry all. I'm going to go get a nap.

>>502
You call a 10 hour sleep a nap? Come on! We want you here. Anytime!

I saw Fukuda Saki for the first time just now. She is supposed to
appear in a TV drama tonight. And if I'm not mistaken, we have a huge fan of her here.
He will be greatly pleased with it.

What's that supposed to be?

What is Tenkarin doing now?

I think she is thinking about me. Her love for me is getting stronger and stronger when she is always thinking about me.
I want her not to care about our age gap.

>>507
Boo,shit！！

I happened to find a photobook named Days for Girs,
taken by Shizuo Aoyama, who has already died in his forties.
The pitcures of young cute girls on the streets are of '70 to '80,
when it was still a fortunate period before the Miyazaki's murder case.

You can never ever take such pictures on the street any more.
The book makes me feel not sexually excited but a sense of loss.

>>509
I'm glad you're not one of the perves on this thread.

Hi everyone ! Hello! How are you doing? Thank you.
Did you watch the WBC game between Japan and China?
I think it was boring.
Japan is too good and China is too bad.
What do you think about that?

>>511
WBC? Didn't know it was right now. I didn't even know that China did have a
baseball team.
The only thing I have to state at the moment about Japan and China, is that
it somehow, in some strange way, is rather amusing that Japan helped China
become a communist country. I wasn't aware of that until last week.
History certainly can be interesting and amusing at times.

>>503
Not quite, after the nap I spent some time studying, then I went to bed.

>>512
Did you know what WBC was, K-tan?
I thought europian people have little interest in baseball.
And yes, China has a national baseball team, though I have no idea
if they have a professional baseball league.

>>506-507
ttp://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/t/tenkarin/20050331/20050331050515.jpg
That's the first image that came up on a google image search for "tenkarin"
^___^ I have to like the image a lot, considering in what way some people
have been talking about the child named Tenkarin. Lolikons are disturbing.

>>514
No, I didn't know. But then I googled for it.

I don't really have an interest in watching most sports.
In my opinion, it's often more fun and a better way to spend your time
actually doing some sport, than watching it. But I definitely can see
why people who have an interest in a certain sport also find it very
interesting to see skilled people competing against eachother in it.

Is there anybody who recently became a big fan of Mariline of
the Curling team Aomori. I mean Motohashi Mari.
Let's talk about her charming point.
Somebody say that she is nothing but just a fat girl.
Somebody say that she is really cute!

>>515
It's best to ignore Tenkarin's maniacs. Just to clarify, there are only a few
grown-ups who get deeply hooked on child idols. Don't consider such kind as morally accepted here.
That's completely different from Yukorin's case.

>>515
What is disturbing about lolicons? Liking something does not implicitly mean that they will act upon their lust.
If one was to apply the same logic that is applied to lolicons to others, anyone that obsesses about a celebrity is a stalker and a rapist.
This is obviously not the case, so why is this logic not refused in the case of lolicon?

>>516
I see. Of course, I assume some Japanese are thinking along the same way as you do.
But what about the Torino Olympic? Your media might have reported a lot about it for two weeks.

>>512
History stumps me. I studied world history before, but saddly I forgot most of it.

K-tan, you reminded me of Hermione (from harry potter).

Speaking of Hermione, there has been a huge fan of Emma Watson here.
I don't know why he was so haunted by the thought that he could get married to her, though.

>>519
I never said that I do not roll my eyes at people who are obsessed with
celebrities. And if the celebrity obsession really is a serious addiction
and not just simple fandom, then they indeed are potential stalkers and
potential hazards for the celebrity.
There is a rather important reason for why you can't really compare celebrity fans
with lolikons. Lolikons are fixated at a temporary state of female children, while as
celebrity fans are fascinated with a single person. The comparison would be much
more correct if you would have compared to e.g. people who have a thing
for red-haired females, or non-asians having a thing for "oriental" females.

Children "expire". They grow up and cease to be children after a few years.
And not to mention that most kids would get seriously traumatized by people
who put the moves on them. I've never been actually molested as a child,
fortunately, but at one point when I was 8 some creepy pedophile kept flashing
himself outside our school, and he tried to pick some girls up, including me.
He was asking if we wanted some candy, and I must say that I was rather baffled
by that. I seriously thought adults had been exaggerating when they said
that pedophiles would lure children with candy, because I really didn't
see how anybody would be such an idiot that they'd fall for that line.
When I was about 12, older guys at some point kept hitting on me. That was
terribly infuriating and I kept telling them that I was only 12 and that
they should leave me alone. But most of them kept being annoying anyway.

I pretty much do not like it when people are very likely to commit bad acts.
That applies to someone stalking and raping a child, as well as some celebrity,
as well as someone who happens to have some other feature the stalker is
fixated on.

>>512
I'm ashamed I don't know about Japan helping China become a communist country.
It had something to do with invading the country?

>>522
I'm rather confused... In what way?

>>526
She doesn't like Quidditch, the magical world's famous sport, and
thinks fast and very educational, and pretty.

>>525
Yep. The current ruler was trying to erradicate the communists, while
Japan took advantage of that he was so hellbent on getting rid
of the communists, and kept conquering more and more land in China.
Since that ruler didn't have enough forces to both fight Japan and the
communists at the same time, he let them fight against the communists.
At one point, that Japan taking power of more and more land no longer
could be ignored and that ruler was forced to cooperate with the communists
in order to be able to fight against Japan's armies in China.

It's rather common that countries do such things, it seems. A lot
of people seem to think that history happened a long time ago, but
there are many things that didn't happen that long ago.

>>527
Hmm... I could like Quidditch, though. I'm just a bit less fond of
participating in team sports in the long run.
And I wouldn't call myself pretty, I'm rather plain.

oh.. It's getting rather late, and I still have a lot of studying to do..
*sigh* Ah well, see you all later.
Have fun.

>>524
I agree with you that people that would act on their urges are scum; however, I was expressing the point that having the urges does not mean that you will act upon them.
The analogy does not have to be totally congruent to express its purpose.
Not all lolicons are child predators and you would have a hard time factually saying that being a lolicon makes you more likely to be a chlid predator.
Infact, most cases of child molestation and kidnapping are done by family friends or family members and are isolated incedents (i.e. with that child only).
As such you cannot logically apply the stigma of a child predator or child molestor to a lolicon; however, you and many others do it nonetheless.
If P does not imply Q, Q cannot be used to imply things about P.

>>528
I should have studied history harder so as not to forget about it.
What you explained to me, I slightly remembered. Shokaiseki, Mao takuto (I don't know what they were referred to in English),
yeah, they must've been written about in a textbook.

Well, you'll feel bored with me. I almost forgot what exactly happened at that time.

>>511
I watched it on TV, and I found it very happy to see our representatives beating the opponents.
For one thing, Japan didn't get the estimated numbers of medals in a competitive games.
I felt frustrated to see some of them failed to get a blonze medal, especially when Kato Johji
didn't get the gold medal he was expected to take back home to Japan.
But this time I look forward to winning the championship of WBC.
For another, Tamura Hitoshi, my favorite baseball player, hit a home run! That was very exciting.

Many comentators took it for granted that Japan won against Japan, but the representatives of ours
would feel queasy to hear them saying so. If they had lost, they would have been bashed in a gratuitous
manner. That's not fair. I would have felt very sorry for the lost game, though.

By the way, I wanted Matui Hideki to get in the team.

>against Japan
China, I mean.

What has become of 4ch recently?
I sometimes paid a visit to the Japanese board of it to ask a question
about English expressions I hadn't known and in return to answer their
questions as long as I could. It was functioning fine. But the other day,
when I got connected to the site, I noticed it was full of Japanese posting
ridiculous messages and it seemed less up and running than before.

Sure, it may not be a bad thing for there to be many posters who disscuss lots of things, but
that doesn't mean new comers should dominate the board. They've gone too far. They don't have
any thought to share a topic with overseas people. What do they go there for? I want them to go
where they belong. Even if fewer posters can get into the community, I don't care.
I might as well choose a bit quiet board as a devastating one like now.
By that I mean, if Japanese people are excluded, I think I can't complain.

Look at the English board of 2ch, and you'll notice that overseas people sometimes
come and join us, having a chat or answering questions, but they have never created
so many threads as to rule the English board itself. They have tried to comply with our
rules. So I must say the new Japanese posters, or trolls, should stop acting like that soon.
They are just bringing shame on most of reasonable, sensible Japanese people.

I hope they will leave soon.

>>535
They are mostly VIPPERs, but they have kind of taken over /nihongo/.
Most of the 4-ch posters know them as such and will not think they reflect on normal people.
I do wish they would confine their VIP antics to /dqn/ though.

>>536
Truthfully, I know next to nothing about so-called VIPPERs, because I have only visited the English board of 2ch.
Apart from that, though, as I might be the first Japanese poster to the Japanese board of 4ch, I feel sort of irritated to
see what's happening there now... Thanks anyway.

>>537
If you can write English well enough, why not post on some of the other 4-ch boards?

No one dears to contradict his or her employer for fear of being fired.

4 sama is the most popular South Korean actor in Japan.

An airport official is on hand to guide passengers needing assistance
transferring to another plane.

Don't take what he said with a grain of salt. He's warned that you should be expelled
if you don't behave properly.

Don't do it! Please, don't do it.

Are there people here who suffer from hay fever?

How many times do you masturbate per day?

I'm allergic to pollen. But this spring, I'll move over to south, Kanto region from Tohoku,

Japanese cedar pollen finish to spread and cause such deadly sniffling.

Mao, Zedong

Chiang, Kai-shek is the other one.

Irina Slutskaya and Sacha Cohen are both becoming extraordinarily popular among us.

>>551
Tenkarin is mine. she is the most popular in me. Thanks

There you go again! Why are you so interested in her?
You need to know we shrugged you off over and over again.

Because Tenkarin is young, pretty, and her innocent personality, That's all why I love her!

>>551

Tenkarin is mine. She is the most popular [to] me. Thanks.

Young? Just an infant, isn't she? You must read k-tan.
She has a point. You're disturbing.

>>554
You should put up with Yukorin!! Tenkarin sis mine!

Ok, I'll get to the point. When Tenkarin comes of age, which happens years later,
you'll leave her for another infant girl. That's not a good idea.

>>556
Knoh Kyoko and you are good for each other.

>>557
Don't worry then. I have a nicest idea of polygamy.

>>559
which means you'll get arrested if you intend to continue living in Japan.

I'm going to use this opportunity to teach everyone an English idiom.

>>556, shouldn't rob the cradle.

>>560
Why makes me arrest?

In short, he deserves to die.

>>562
Because of our civil law.

I won't be arrested. Because Tenkarin loves me. She wanna marry me. So do I.
If I were areested, that means Police envy me?

>>565
I didn't say you get arrested because you are married to a younger girl, but
because you are married to more than one female at the same time. Didn't you
read that a senile idiot threatened as many as 10 females to get married to him?

>>565

Celebrities should be admired from afar. She doesn't know who you are, you nut!

a senile idiot is that 56aged bald man who can magic?

Let's change the subject.

We are always talking about teenage idols. I think we should be ashamed.
Change the topic

Ichiro doesn't seem in good shape.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-- Robert Frost

Why do you love Tenkarin so much? There are a lot of beautiful females out there.
Don't you think you are so fond of her because she's an infant?

Tenkarin is a virgin. It's a pity that many other idols are invaded by rich men or fuck Jani-zu

You're lousy. If you are seeking for virginity, then why don't you ask
for Mituura Yasuko or Yamada Hanako?

They aren't just experienced a sex. But Tenkarin is virgin Besides she is too beautiful

>>576
Answer me. How about Mituura Yasuko or Yamada Hanako?

>>577
They are too busaiku. They can never get my love.

I think it's time to stop talking to the crazy guy.

>>578
You made me think though you're mentally yet to be developped..
Did you get through a traumatic hardship you can't forget?

Seems like I hit the nail on the head.. But I'd say, get over it.
You may have come this far. You'll change yourself if you want.

What if he just tried to make Tenkarin famous among us?
I suspect all those postings he wrote are advertisements.

In my opinion, Yukorin looks far prettier than Tenkarin.

That would be some pathetic viral marketing, were it the case.

>>584
I guess so, but without his obssessive professions that he loves her,
at least I wouldn't have known there was a girl called Tenkarin..
He was successful in a certain degree.

>>585
I'm confused...
Why were you copy-pasting the source contents of an html page here? Especially one
that does nothing except for trying to displaying those files on your own floppy-disk?
I said trying, because I'm rather skeptical to how great success you'd get trying to display images
with no proper image file-endings. Perhaps if the browser goes by encoding rather than file name. Not too sure..
I once saw an animed jpg that way. Someone had renamed a GIF file to JPG, and the browser happily displayed it
flawlessly as a GIF.

I've been reading http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/ lately,
it's quite interesting. It definitely has a lot of very good advice
on how to become a better person, and how to become more efficient.

And the polyphasic sleeping definitely is something I'd be interested
in trying. Though that wouldn't happen quite yet, perhaps in a few years,
if my situation allows it.

>>587 did >>585 hope that the HTML would render on people's computers, making them lock up (endlessly looking for files that don't exist)?
Or do you think they (accidently?) emptied their clipboard buffer?

a
cherry
boy

The phrase "cherry boy" doesn't make sense...

what do you mean by that?
I think "a cherry boy " means "a boy who has no sexual experience"

I think he means that it doesn't make sense. =P
Popping a cherry is a euphemism for losing your virginity (as a reference to breaking the hymen).
Boys don't have a hymen to pop, so it is a bit of a misnomer.

The number of NEET is getting larger and larger.

We will be happy!

＞Boys don't have a hymen to pop, so it is a bit of a misnomer.

Boy has a foreskin instead of a hymen, right.
Some people cut off their skin while baby.

lolololololololol

>>605
Some females are born without hymen, so they don't have any hymen to pop, either!

>>610
A lot of them also have it broken before their first time having sex.
Things such as masturbation, tampons, and even an activity like horseback riding can break it.
Why not just say you are a virgin?

>>608 the difference is that a woman (usually) loses her hymen due to sexual activity, but for men's foreskins' it's either a hygenic or religious problem.

Maybe the guy really likes cherries. I mean the real stuff not the euphemism.

No one is here

>>614
Yes there is.

What eluded me was why she was so cute.

Let's discontinue the chat on lolikons, shall we?

It would be best to keep it out of the thread,
because flaming might start...T_T

Anyways, I am sick with the flu.

I wonder how much English intonation and pronunciation influence your understanding.
If you hear "an o"L"ange juice, please" instead of "an "O"range juice, please",
you can't guess what they want?

>>636

It will sound a bit odd to a native speaker, and they may ask you
to repeat yourself, but they should be able to figure it out.

>>637
So you are a native speaker?

Tenkarin is mine. Yukorin is yours.

Hi,
I am a graduate student in Tokyo university. I come from Taiwan.
Because the program I apply in UT is english program,
I can not speak Japanese before came to Japan.(one year ago) I always speak
English in the lab and spend most of time in lab, so I do not
have enough chances to practice my Japanese. I want to find a friend to
exchange language. I can both speak english and chinese fluently.
I can only speak a little Japanese but reading is ok. I want to
talk on-line in skype. if someone wants to practice with me,
please send me a e-mail to this adress: [email protected] and
we can disscuss how to do this language exchange.
I hope I can know some Japanese friends here. ^_^

>>638

Yes

>>626
You don't even understand what that does, do you? *sighs*

>>633
Wow.. You have my sympathy. Think you'll get better any time soon?

>>639


Why do you love Tenkarin?

>>642
I don't need your sympathy, thank you.

I do really want k-tan's virgin. she should give me it.

>>645
Get out of here, you pervert.

>>643
Can I ask you a favor? I have difficulty making out what rules there are that native speakers
pronunce English phrases. Today, I listened to a CD and found "enacted the law" was pronounced as
"enati the law". Where did "C" as in enacted go? Do you usually pronounce it like this?

I want to make the intelligent level of my English higher...

>>646
It's always pronounced with the "c". Maybe its so fast you can't hear it? or maybe the speaker is just bad.

You'd better cut off your dick!

>>647
You mean you want to be a sophisticated writer or something?
I, for one, am thinking I'll be satisfied if I get myself across to people...
To be honest, I gave up becoming a good English speaker because it seems almost
impossible to me.

My cock is erecting now, dude.

>>648
Thanks. Maybe I just can't hear it, but if so, I can't make sure of it..

>>649
Yeah, that's exactly what I am thinking, but I don't know how!
Anybody? Help me out!

>>653
I don't know.. You could ask a surgeon about it.
But why do you want to cut it off? Are you suffering from
some mental problem?

>>653

Let me do it!

I will be happy!

Congratulations!

I don't see why that Tenkarin maniacal fan is deeply in love with her..

The media report yesterday said that some school girls were hit by grown-ups.
It's horrible, isn't it?

I hope the person in question won't follow suit and
go to extremes.

Do you know Mao Asada is 2nd to Kim Yuna in a Junior figure skating competition now?

How inactive the board is.

so very lonely, studying japanese....

>>662
Are you studying Japanese?
I guess from what you say that quite a few overseas people want to learn Japanese, right?

i'm just about taking shit................. but gotta wait
untill last minutes....

What's the matter with you?

nature's calling....

slowly....

:P

It's funny. Why don't you go to the bath room? You don't want to make in your pants, do you?

Ah, seems like you did.

>>663さん
Yeah there are a lot of us studying Japanese. However, most don't get past the basics, or a few semesters worth of teachings.

The huge barrier for us is the kanji. We are not used to memorizing so many symbols, put simply.

If japanese were written entirely in hiragana/katakana I'd be way further ahead in my studies.

>>671
I made a horrible mistake.
>quite a few
what I really wanted to say was, only a few...

>>671
I know what you mean. We are made to learn exactly as many as 1945 kanjis as a school kid,
but as we are using PCs and not writing them, kanjis easily escape us, especially when writing,
though most of us don't have trouble reading them. Of course, there are some kanjis that are rarely used
and so even somewhat-educated people can't read such ones, though.

So don't worry.

If there were not kanjis, we wouldn't understand what hiragana/katakana means, though.
As you know, kanjis have a variety of meanings in itself as well as sounds, though hiragana and katakana
only have sounds. Apart from that, in my opinion, it would be a good idea if you buy a kanji textbooks for
kids. You might say it's ridiculous for an adult like you to get your hand on a children's materials, but
schools kids learn no less than 1200 kanjis. That's something.

>>673
Ah yes the PC makes things so much easier, or maybe I'm just learning too lazily.

The only practice I get in writing kanji is through the windows IME when drawing a character for lookup.

2000 kanji...yikes!

>>674
I'm definately not beyond books for kids. I'll take a look around the net for some good books like that, thanks.

If you have any recommendations on a particular childrens textbook or otherwise I'd like to hear it.

>>675
I see your point. I'm lazy when learning English words. For instance,
I often forget about how foreign is spelled... So we have something in common
about learning a new language.

By the way, when you have a question about the Japanese language,
I think we can somehow be of help.

>>677
Thanks a lot. It's good to see that when Japanese learn english beyond "fuck this" and "fuck that", they're actually cool people =)

>>676
Have you ever heard about Kanken, or a kanji vocabury test for Japanese people?
"Grade 10" is for a first grade, "Grade 9" for a second grade" and you learn
1945 kanjis in "Grade 2". There are official textbooks for that exam.
So I'd recommend using them and go step by step. Please note that
all the languege in them are written only in Japanese. I don't know
about English-Japanese kanji text. Sorry about that.

>>678
Ah, I can't deny there are those Japanese who want to use only F words..
They bring shame on me, though.

Let me correct my mistake. elementary school kids learn exactly 1006 kanjis, not 1200.

>>679
Oh my... that sounds like a goldmine of information!

Any idea where I can get those books in Japanese?

>>682
Where are you now? If amazon.co.jp offers overseas delivery,
you can have those textbooks delivered. Hold while I check up on it.

>>683
I'm in Canada. Yeah that would be great! Thanks!

According to http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/1039606/,
you can have Amazon.co.jp. deliver books around the world,
though extra delivery charges will be taken..

Alright, perfect! Only about $15 shipping to here.

And this one is for the first grade. Please take a quick look:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4931237452/qid=1141849022/

Well, you can't see what the contents of the book are in Amazon. co.jp.

Just click on this address:http://www.kanken.or.jp/tosyo/problem_f.html
This is the official website of Kanken. If you get connected to the site,
please click on 児童漢検 漢字学習ステップ, then 本の使い方, and another
window will pop up and you will check what the contents are like. Good luck.

>>688
I'll take a look now. Could I ask you to find the first 4 grade books? Since this is official material kids use I'm definately picking this up.

>>689
The first 4 grade books? Just to make sure, you mean "Grade 4"?

>>690
Ah sorry that was a bit ambiguous. I mean Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4.

>>690
Oops, I had that backwords. I want the lowest child levels. So Grade 10, Grade 9, Grade 8, and Grade 7.

>>691
No, it's my fault. No sooner had I posted the question than the question occurred to me.
It was the first four books, not the 4th grade book.

To answer question, though, I can't find the images of the 4 books, sorry.
But I can provide the links to the pages of amazon.co.jp. that deal with
the books. And if I think right, you want Grade 10, 9, 8, and 7, because
the grade 1 is the most difficult exam they offer.

Wait a second. I'll search for the pages.

I mean the answer occured to me. Another mistake...

Grade 10:http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4931237452/
Grade 9:http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4931237444/
Grade 8:http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4890960570/
Grade 7:http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4931237207/

That's all.

>>693
Ah thanks, thats what I meant, I need the pages on amazon.com selling the first 4 Grade books.

Interesting contents, I know all the kanji in that Grade 10 honeycomb picture =), so at least I'm getting somewhere.

My only learning material other than an english 300 page starter has been a manga, which I've painstakingly translated over 500 pages (and compared to a fan translation).

Thanks for the help, you've been far more helpful than I expected.

>>695
>that Grade 10 honeycomb picture
No! It's an excerpt from Grade 9!

>over 500 pages
That's brilliant. You said you were lazy, but as a matter of fact,
you are hard-working. Yes, mangas are good materials to learn everyday expressions,
if you choose mangas that are depicting everyday life.

>>697
Ah great to see I'm not the only one who thinks so. Yes this manga depicts daily life, perhaps even one close to mine (hehe).

Alright, now to make my way through the purchasing stuff. I'll just post here if I run into problems, ok?

>>698
Anytime.

Anyway, I think I'll go offline.But I'll be back. Bye for now.

>>700
later.

I just ordered the books, and I'll have em in a week. Thanks again =)

>>701
Happy for you. But if unexpected things should happen such as a suspension of shipping the items and
you need to e-mail a claim form or something in Japanese, then we would be of some help.

How are you doing?

what's up with you?

what's up with that crazy code?

it's a kind of prank.

You must be a tech person. Great decoding skills.

haha...I've done nothing but translate some stuff into english and I got several trolls on me already.
But, I'm actually flattered and I'm using their flamebait to study. (hee hee)
man...if I had a nickel for every time I got called a "farmer"... lol

>>713
I'd ignore them if I were you.
There's a big difference between having heated discussions
and speaking badly in a gratuitous manner without a reason. They are gits deriving enjoyment
only from jeers, just because the board uses the anonymous posting system.

>>714
Yeah, thanks. I've ignored them so far.

>>715
That's good to hear.

By the way, can you give me a favor?
I'm listening to English now and trying to transcript some statements.
Do you think "A tug boat is pulling a verge on the river" makes sense?
If it is, I'll be pleased if you explain what the "pull a verge on the river" part means.
I'm not sure if I'm correct...

>transcript some statements
Correction: to transcribe them.
Sorry.

>>716
No, it doesn't make sense.

"A tugboat is pulling a barge on the river" makes sense though.

>>645
I do really want your anal virgin for my dog. You shoud give him it.

>>718
Thank you for putting me right.

I'm suffering from giddiness. It's a pain in the neck..

米国入りのＷＢＣ韓国代表、ホテルは２等扱い

アジア野球の第１人者は韓国だ。日本は２等だ。ところが、ホテルは日本がもっと良い。

韓国は５日、敵地である日本東京ドームで行われたワールド・ベースボール・クラシック（ＷＢＣ）アジア予選の日本戦で、
８回李承�Y（イ・スンヨプ、読売）のドラマチックな２点本塁打のお陰で３ー２で逆転勝ちした。
韓国と日本は６日、本選が行われる米国に向かった。

「ＷＢＣ組織委員会が、アジアでは当然日本が１位になると思って、日本に良いホテルを準備し、
韓国には１レベル下のホテルを準備した」というのだ。

ホテル専門予約サイトである「Expedia．com」のよれば、韓国選手団のホテルは星が三つだ。
反面、日本選手団が泊まっているシェラトンクレスントホテルは星が三つ半だ。
一番安いシングルルームを基準にしても、５０ドル以上も差がある。

これに対し、韓国野球委員会（ＫＢＯ）のある関係者は、
「（トレーニング地である）フェニックスには特急ホテルが別にない。
わざと韓国と日本を差別するためそうしたのではない」と言った。

単なるハプニングかも知れないが、後味はよくはない。

I started English diary.
But it's shameful to read because my English skill is at the Junior high level.

I will apply English language skill more.

悪文すぎて意味不明

I got very hungry now.

the microphone broke when just i started skype

this thread is for training.
feel free to write in.

>>730

Yeah. I think maki horikita was born to love and marry me.

>>730
?
?

hallo japan i am in teh USA lol

Japan is subject to USA

>733

I don't get your meaning. Could you elaborate?

Japan government often obeys US intensions. Japan has no will. It's a just puppet

Oh, I understand now. Yeah, that is sadly true.

Actual Bush's best friend is British Prime Minister Blair, not this small islands nation's minister Koizumi.
But Koizumi feels Bush is his best friend. His mschievous idea make me laugh...

Bush is the worst thing that has happened to the USA in modern times.
I can't wait until 2008 when he finally leaves office.

You should be candidate of the next President of USA.
Your political party is NEET party. You will collect a few votes.lol lol lol lol lol l0ol

>>739

Hahaha, I really wish that could happen, but the truth is that Americans are too attached to their bi-party government
to allow a third party to really flourish and take roots.

>>740

Oh wait, good job me! You already knew that, lol. I pat myself on the back for stating the obvious.

I am a NEET, If I were a President, I make a strong law to make Paris Hilton my first lady and wife.

Dude, nothing personal, but Paris Hilton is a loose skank. You could totally do so much better.
Maybe you could hold a contest to pick the best piece of ass the US has to offer.

NEET is a boring job. so I hate it but i have to keep it.

Is NEET an acronym? What does it stand for?

NEET is the acronym for No Education, Employment and Training.

You are NEETs and I am a NEET, finally ends up to We are NEETs.

Wow, that is the best acronym ever. Maybe that party would get quite a few votes in the US since its meaning covers about 70% of the voters.

Then people in USA would get thier national holidays at least doubled or 10 times.
Japan should do so, LDP DPJ and communist socialist ate very bad party or ideologies!
NEET is the best ideology!

Sadly, I'm only 66% NEET. I'm in my second semester of college, working on a bachelor's degree. I fail at being NEET. ;_;

professional NEET boy in Japan gives us his maxim. 'I think I would become a loser when if I take a job.'
How do you think about his statement?

That might prove true if you take a full time job at a corporation or something.
Maybe taking a part time job would be a better choice, just something to be able to pay rent.
Then again, I don't really know what the cost of living in Japan is. The best balance would be to get some decent cash flow coming in for the minimum hours worked.
Then, proceed to spending the rest of the time partying and living life to the max.

>>751

the statement is definitely right.
'cause in capitalist countries the richest are not hired by anyone; bourgeoisie.

>>753

Too true, but Bush still gave them a tax break like the bourgeoisie moron he is.

We should get aware of the fact that even NEETs are not
immune to aging which is creeping in on Japanese society.
Aging NEETs without families to rely on would be unequivoally
miserable. Their parents whose shoulders NEETs can cry on
at the moment will kich the bucket soon. Do not turn the
blind eye to this stark fact and ponder over what to do next.

frankly, a loser is nothing but a loser. no need for sympathy.
they should bite the dust for their own deeds.

Whether we are a loser or not depends on whether we think
we are. However, more's pity if we are so full ourselves
misunderstanding that we have the world by the tail and don't
care for others.

>>757

sorry that i can't get your point

Has anyone read the manga "NHKにようこそ"?
Is a NEET person like the main character in the manga (a ひきこもり)?

>>759
The manga with the NEET who sees himself as being in the middle of a big
conspiration theory? I think my boyfriend showed me a little bit of it, I should
read the rest. Was rather strange in an interesting way.

hmmmm.. on second thought.. wasn't the guy more of a hikky lolicon?

You guys are very talkative.

Yeah he is, haha. He goes through these stages -- from lolicon to suicide meets to mmorpg addiction.

Good afternoon from mobilephone
its make me tired to write English with mobphone
How about the American phone? is that same as Japanese phone keys?

It'd guess it is easier with an American phone, seeing as there are only 26 letters in the alphabet. But I'm not sure, I've never used a Japanese phone.

>>765
I'd

Wow I'm so good at my native language.

>>764
Yes Western phones are the same as Japanese -- keypad input. I'm very slow at it myself.

However, some Western phones (Smartphones, BlackBerry) have the entire keyboard on them.

It's impossible for me to talk like a native speaker. There are millions
of expressions. More importantly, I can't figure out what expresssions are
appropriate, and why they sound natural. I'm sick of it.

Cooolllddd... I just got home from a birthday party. The wheather has been ridiculously
cold this winter. I think I'm going to slip into a hot bath and possibly fall asleep
there. -_-;;

>>771
Depends on the native speaker, I'd say. What differs between a native speaker and a
very good foreign speaker usually isn't the active vocabulary, but the substancially larger
passive one, since the native speaker automatically is fed the popculture that is
associated with the language, while as foreign speakers outside of the country has to make
a more active effort.
You don't have to worry about excelling native slang, as long as you can make
yourself understood well and do not feel bad nor embarassed about asking what a
thing refers to, if they're using some sort of slang or reference.

And just use your common sence. Overseas people aren't that differrent :)
Btw. I don't know about japanese phones, but all phones here(Holland) have autocomplete.

>>772
I wonder how you've been learning English, K-tan.
I don't know what things are like about English education in your nation, Sweden, but
it must be very good in such a way as to get people used to English.

In Japan, we have been having heated discussions about whether elementary school kids must
study English or they have to put more effort in learning the Japanese language.
Personally, the earlier, the better, because it takes greater efforts after appropriate periods
when it comes to learning secondary languages. That said, I don't deny the importance of your mother language.

So I'm curious to know whether Swedish people learn English as a child.

By the way, take care of yourself and sleep tight.

>>773
Autocomplete? It means automatical spelling or grammar correction?
Then, I guess no if you are talking about cell phones.

>>773
Do you know about Sammy Schult, who is the current K-1 champion?

No I mean autocomplete words... let me give an example:
When I type 4 3 5 5 6 plus a 0 then the word is 'hello'.
(The zero lets you go through all possible words and as my phone has both the English and Dutch vocabulary enabled, 'hello' isn't the most probable word.)
This system is called T9, predictive text input. Which makes for great messaging speed :/

hey, there're too many lines.
i don't read you if it's not summarized to less than three lines!1

>>777
I got it. And yes, almost the same kind of system applies.
We choose Hiragana/Katakana/Kanjis, though.

>>778
Don't let it bother you. You don't need to read more than three lines.

I have one question for somebody of American.
How about severity of American-segregation nowadays?
This question's might be rudeness,
but ｉ heard American,especially south americans usualy do that. and ｉ remembered the"KKK".
for last,ｉdon't wanna ANY answers of it from part of RedNeck！lol

Forgive me my sorry English.

Some fucking jap is whinig about segregation issues? Fucki'n hilarious.

>>781-782
What do you want?

>>778
Lol, sorry about that. Just read all lines without brackets.
(Like this line. Just extra info.)
:)

>>776
I searched for it... So I don't know him :)
K1 and other fighting sports aren't really populair here.
Ah found him, I think. Semmy Schilt ?

>>784
>Semmy Schilt
That's it. I thought Holland people love fighting sports because there have been
3 champions from Holland so far.

No, 4 champions.

Semmy Schilt, Peter Aerts, Remy Bonjasky, and Ernesto Hoost.

>>785
Thats just because we are kinda tall and well fed :D

Tall and well fed and genetically superior, right?

>>787
Not only that. There are many big k-1 fighters from all over the world.
Holland fighters knows a lot about what fighting is. Quick and skillful,
plus great strategies. Pay more attention to them.

Dutch is so close to English that people think of it as an English dialect.

>>788
I think there is a study which shows that us being the tallest in the world is not because of genetics
but because of our diet and good environment(health care etc.)
>>789
I don't know anything about K1, please excuse me for that.
Statistically speaking: The chance for a great fighter to arise is higher in a country with more tall people.
Other fighters might also be tall, but came out of a smaller pool.
Thus the chance on a combination of great physique and a great brain is smaller.
But you are totally right that fighting is not only having a great body.
(Sorry, again more than 3 lines :)

I want to sleep but I can't sleep.
Do you have some trick you use when you just can't sleep?

>>790
Don't you mean Dutch & German?

>>792
Where are you from?
For I never want to sleep, unless its sunny... I like the night.
Just take a nightcap :/

>>790
Dutch is NOT that similar to English but rather to German, I think.
An acquantances, who is Dutch, also said so.

>>791
I just don't know how you do some study on why some people are tall.
You just can't definitly say anything according to any studies.
So, I think tall people are born from tall people. That's just a coomon knowledge and correct.

>>791
I hate to say this, but I'm feeling very sorry to hear you don't
have even a little interest in k-1, not to mention to know about it.
Why? Your country is the world-best with regards to raising great fighters.
You should be behind thier back.
I hope there will be a chance of your seeing any one of k-1 fighting grand prixes.

(sorry for me posting this much)
If you like anime and want to learn english I have some advice...
Watch the subbed(not dubbed) versions which are made daily for the rest of the world :D.

K-1 is boring and stupid.
Worst of all, it's fixed.
Anybody who really cares about martial arts doesn't care.

can I ask a foolish question...
what's K-1?

>>796
Are you serieusly interested in how these studies are done?
Well you should google on ' dutch tallest people'.
As for having tall parents:
This really is not common, the generation below me(my parents) had it alot worse than my generation.
Both my parents are regular: 167 & 178 but both me and my brother are 205 and my sister is 177.

>>797
I really don't care about some country having better sportspeople than other countries.
Its just statistics (size of county & environmental stuff like diet and education)
What the human body is capable of is much closer to my interest.
I'd like to see championships with drugs(anabolics etc) legalized, but that is a wholly different discussion.

>>800
One of the exiting fighting sports.
K stands for karate, kick boxing. 1 means of course, number 1.

>>802
YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO SAY THING LIKE THAT!!
YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!! YOU MUST SUPPORT THEM!!!

>>795
Oh, come off it. Yes, Dutch and English are very close to each other.

>>804
I support every athlete in their quest to the boundaries human capability.
I make no distinction because of some red line on a big blue ball.

Sunday morning I have nothing to do. because i have no girlfriend...

>>805
English & Dutch are just as close as French & Dutch.
It is ofcourse your choise to say this is close or not.

Does sentences of the capital letter express it like the exclamation mark?

If Maki Horikita were my lover, then I would superlatively be happy.

>>807
Chatting in English is better choice, lol

>>806
When it comes to football, it's a different story, isn't it?

>>809
Yes, something like that... but more like you're shouting.
(angry or attention or something alike)

>>812
Sorry, but also in football I have no more than general interest.

Why are you ignore my sentence? Or are you sneering at my long career of cherrydom? eh?

>>808
But it's not so close to Germany, is it?

>>813
Thank you, we should write love letter in capital font.

I don't think Maki Horikita is so cute.

You are stupid!

Who are you talking to?

You should see through her. She's evil at heart.

>>815
is that directed at me?
Sorry, did I mess something?
>>816
Well, It really sounds alike and I can understand it with only 2 years
of minor education in it. Somehow Germans can't understand Dutch,
I think this is because they dub all their movies where we sub everything.
>>817
LOL... I don't advice it, but you could do that :D:D

>>818
Never speak ill of my angel!!! Maki chan is very pretty! That's all!

>>823
Cool it, kid. She's neither sophisticated nor innocent.
She fools every male with nothing in mind into falling for her.
Your statements made me way sure I'm right.

>>822
Just out of curiosity, if Japanese movies are broadcast, then they will
be subbed?

>>824
(now writing from my bed.. getting late here :)
Most japanese media is fansubbed... ttp://anidb.info/
There is some media which is dubbed by America,
but as you can see from the enormous list from anidb most movies are fansubbed.
Thats why I said its a great way to learn english: The choise is vast and the quality is moslt sublime.

>>823
>Never speak ill of my "DARK" angel!!!
Horrible. The angel deprived your soul out of your body?

>>825
Thanks. I'll take a look now.

Why does all girl idols give thier fans treacherous scandals?
They actually dislike thier fans?

I said it. I've warned you time and again that you must see through her
and never fall for her act. Do you get it?

Fans often spend thier much money money for buying idols goods and much more time for gatering events or something extra such as masturbation.
but idols has sexual scandal with the rich or handsome talents.
But I think that doesn't apply to Maki chan because Maki chan is too pretty. just like an angel. so she loves her fans in particular she loves me she wants to marry me. I believe so.

>>827
I'm not sure if bittorrent is mainstream in Japan...
here is a great client ttp://www.utorrent.com/

>>830
Stop bugging me. You said all idols are treacherous.
Maki is one of the idols. In conclusion, Maki will betray you.

>>831
To tell the truth, the website contains greater numbers of lists than I expected,
and a bit too complicated to find where I can get translations..

don't call her maki! call her angel Maki!
she will never betray me!

>833
Here you go... a nice and easy tracker of torrents. ;)

Do you know where some fantranslated mangas are?
I once downloaded some Toriyama Akira's mangas from a fan site, but
but that's all I know there is.

>>834
Are you out of your mind? Read what you wrote. You were contradicting yourself.
Thinking of idols as angels will not be in your best interest.
You'll be sorry again. Believe me. You left Yukorin for Maki, then who's next?
You know what I mean?

>>835
Thanks, but I need to know about torrents more.
I know next to nothing about it now. What can I do with that?
It's hard for me to get new knowledge through English, though...

I can give you loads of trackers, but a google querry for 'manga torrent' will help just as good I think.
But remember its all legal for us here(as its not licensed here).
I don't know how about the japanese standpoint on leeching...

>>838
download utorrent.. install it...
And you can let utorrent open the torrents or manually cut/paste the link of the torrent in utorrent.
Check the japanese wikipedia on info about 'bittorrent'

>>839
Don't sweat it. I must have asked for too much.

>>839
As a matter of fact, as I mentioned above, I have once visited Toriyama's World
linked from the site you provided.

I shouldn't have done that. McAfee found computer vious to delete, and

>>844
virus?? serieus? Where?

In the arse hole!
You want to smell?

>>845
Yeah, I don't know where I get it, though. Maybe one of the sites above.

If you have still not installed anti-virus software, it's better to
avoid overseas sites...

lol.. a typical japanese response...
it should be:
In my... iso, In the...

Its just that utorrent is being used by thousands of people...
as are the piratebay and anidb.

Its not something small/ illegal site or something.

What're you talking about? Who said in my, in the?

If you randomly google sites, you might find some bad ones.
But a virus can only enter your computer if you execute something or your software is not up to date.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I don't have an mp3 player and I hate Apple with a passion. If you do some research you could probably find a better deal on a similar player.

Isn't German and Dutch both from the germanic indo-european language branch, while as
French is from the latin indo-european language branch?
Which technically makes Dutch closer to German. However that doesn't help
you that much.

In my layman opinion (as someone who's encountered and can identify a relatively wide range of languages),
Dutch looks/sounds like a bunch of European languages tossed
into a blender and spiced with an extra helping of vowels.
I've known several people who were dutch, at one point back in 1999 I even attempted to
build up a minor vocabulary in Dutch, such as common tourist phrases. I've forgotten most
of it by now though, unfortunaly.

Oh! Neat, wikipedia has a map of the indo-european language branches.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IndoEuropeanTreeA.PNG
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages#Satem_and_Centum_languages

>>873
Well I'm not sure if you are saying I'm wrong or not.
But as I said: German is closest to Dutch and Englisch en French are alot less close.

About the blender, I think you can say that of any of the germanic languages if you change your reference.
There are even alot dutch words in japanese.. mostly just place a 'u' behind the dutch word & its japanese :D
Gotta love those trading routes :)

>>874
vulgar latin >> french :/
Okay, english is closer than french...! :D

>>774
(Thanks, by the way.)

Personally I started watching children's tv-shows in English at the
age of 6, and got a bit of a head start there, but in school I had
English classes from the 4th grade to the 11th grade. Though I think
it's probably been changed now, as my little brother started
learning English in the 3rd grade.

In Sweden, series and movies are not dubbed, unless the target audience
is small children. Which leads to that you automatically are subjected
to a heck of a lot more spoken English if you watch popular foreign
series and movies.

That in combination with the fact that there are a lot of popular English
series (mostly USAian, some British and Australian) on TV, and that
probably 65% of all the movies playing in the largest cinemas are
foreign native-English movies, (along with that both Swedish and
English are germanic languages) makes it easier for Swedes to get
decent in English with less active effort. However the silly
side-effect is that we're often subjected to a lot of English when
we are not needed to. For instance the last time I bought a package of
dental chewing gum there wasn't a single word in Swedish on the front
of the package. It was all in English, in spite of directly being
manifactured and sold in Sweden only.

I'm a bit unhappy about how much I've neglected my main language.
I process more data in English during almost any given day (I tend to
chat with my boyfriend in English on a daily basis, if not also via
phone). The vast majority of my online reading being in English.
As many of the books I read tend to have been originally written in
English, along with that I prefer to read things the way they were
created and intended to be read if possible (i.e. if I understand that
language), I often read them in English.
As I get less and less actual practice with my language, I grow
increasingly insecure about whether or not I remember correctly, as
your passive vocabulary is no real help to your active vocabulary.

I've started to try to write more in purely Swedish, to make sure I
don't fall out of practice. Most of my Swedish (in real life friends)
have an unfortunate dendency to jump freely between Swedish and
English. Not quite as badly as mixing words within in sentances,
but an English sentance here and there in the coversation.

I need to up my skill in both English and Swedish, to be honest.
English as my vocabulary isn't at all as large as what I would like,
as well as needing to misspell things less, while as needing to feel
less worried about the possibility of me losing my grip on my main language.

Hm.. Sorry for all the pointless rambling.. I should go to bed.. Ah well.

>>875
That aspect wasn't really what I was referring to, though.. Virtually
every language has borrowed and even blatantly stolen words from
other languages. Just that dutch has the delightful quality that it sounds/looks
like someone composed the entire language out of morphing at least four
languages into one. Just my opinion, though.

>>879
Wikipedia on dutch language confirms everything we both sais=d :)
Here is a quote:
Dutch isn't a language; it's a disease of the throat.

>>uhh lots
English really is close to both French AND Dutch (and other germanic) languages. It wasn't until the Norman invasion of 1066 that English had any major French influence.
The structure of the language is frankly germanic, but a lot of words are French (and thus latin/greek).

When should you start learning another language? As early as possible. There have been many studies on this as a part of psycholinguistic research and they all say that earlier is better.
Even if it is just learning the sounds and not the syntax or vocabulary that you study early learning is helpful.
That isn't to say that you cannot be as good because you did not start early, just that it might be more difficult or take longer.

You should read it k-tan it is hilarious. It got picked up by Tokyopop though and I doubt they have plans to distribute it in Sweden.
Even then they are probably going to screw it up badly. =/

>>781
The KKK does still exist, but only in a very small number. Anywhere they turn up there is a counter-demonstration and they are looked down upon by all.
Segregation is gone. There may still be discrimination though.

>>881
My boyfriend has the manga, so I'll just make him translate if for me :-D
Or find myself a scanlation so that I can understand what it says without his help.

>>882
http://4-ch.net/manga/kareha.pl/1101800329/l50 has some discussion of it in English.
If you do get scanlations I highly suggest Jinmen Juushin for all that they did do (up to chapter 11 I think). Evil Genius has up to 20, but they are not as good.

Who's going to stand treat?

Tradition dictates that >>950 is supposed to start the next thread.
However, if >>950 is unable to, someone else will have to do it.
Oh.. Wait.. I misread that as "Who's going to start thread?"

Sorry. What do you mean, "stand treat"?

Hi,k-tan! How are you?
Do you know Maki Horikita? she is a prettiest idol in Japan. I love her?
I hope you don't fall in jealous at her. That's all. Thanks.

>>885
>>887

Dude, don't post if you have nothing to contribute.

Sorry, dude. I just wanted to explain how pretty Maki chan is.

Whatever, next time try and stay on topic and don't clutter up threads. It's cool if you have a question that is different from whatever is being discussed, but don't just make random statements.

>>887
Oh, googling informed me of that I had indeed seen her. I've seen her in one of
the roles she's played. She's cute, but that in an unsexual way as she is
a bit way too young for my taste.

I just googled her too. She's 17 but looks 12 to me.

i have a pocket in my rocket

>>877-878
Thank you for the reply and don't be sorry. I've always found it interesting to read
what you write, your perspectives, and how you say it-I sometimes read up on things online
and look up in online dictionaries unknown words included in your statements. And I'm sure
that will sort of help me learn English. So it was a good ramble, seriously.
But let's put this aside for now.

I suppose from your reply that Sweden is a completely bilingual nation, and
what suprised me most was that you were feeling you needed to brush up on your mother tongue.
(I don't mean any sarcasm in saying this)
Things vary from contry to contry, don't they? Most of us Japanese spend lots of time studying
English if they want to learn it.

As things stand now, Japan is far from an English-speaking country.
But under such curcumstances, one of the local goverments in Japan decided to conduct bilingual education
in elementary schools. I'm positive about it, because I myself have felt it's been tough to learn English
after coming of age as I might have said before.
Some Japanese are opposed to the idea, saying that leaning Japanese as a kid is the only first thing and
it's worthless to study English as a child. In this day and age, they sound to me as if they prefer to be
confined to their own contry. What I think is silly is that the conservative or out-dated people
seems they don't speak English themselves, so they don't know how much learning a secondary language takes
getting used to...
That's just why I'm on the local goverment's side.

Note: If the bilingual education begin, our main langueage used in daily life is Japanese.
For instance, foregin movies are dubbed and conversation between kids and thier folks should be in Japanese.

>>892
Hi, 外人さん.
The kanji books you ordered from Amazon.co.jp. should be delivered to you in a couple of days.
I'll be pleased when you have them in hand. And if you want other learning materials, along with the books,
let me help you again. I'll search for online resources on the google seaching engine.

>>895
Yeah I can't wait! =)
Ok thanks. Those textbooks in addition to the manga I'm following should keep me busy for a while.

I talked to a Canadian guy in the cat room a few weeks ago.

Try reading it,if you get a chance.

>>898
How come?

I live in the United States so there aren't very many places for me to learn Japanese. I watch anime in Japanese and I watch Japanese drama shows, so I'm slowly getting better.

Woohoo! My kanji textbooks arrived! These things look awesome!

Incidentally, Japanese subcultures seem to attract not a few overseas

Sasuke is just the name I use online. It's because I really like the character "Sasuke" from the Naruto anime.

>>913
Thanks for the info.
I don't know much about the currently running mangas, but I had a lot of fun reading
mangas as a school kid. Do you want to know my favorites?

Sure. I don't know very many mangas. lol

Why are you laughing out loud? Does that mean making fun of me?

Ah, no, I'm laughing because I don't really know very many mangas, so I probably won't know that ones you mention. Sorry for the confusion.

>>917
I got it.

My favorites are:
1)Slum Dank, which describes high-schoolers who play basketball.
2)Touch, which is a romantic and sports commedy.
3)Dragon ball
4)Turumoku Dokushinryo, or Turumoku dormitory for bachelors (my rough translation)

1) Slum Dunk.

I've heard of Slam Dunk, Touch and Dragon Ball.

Touch is by Adachi Mitsuru, right? I know about Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball Z was actually the 4th anime show that I ever watched.

I really like anime and manga. I guess I'm considered an otaku...

But the series that I read the most are Naruto, Hikaru no Go, One Piece, and Shaman King. Those mangas are in the American version of Shonen Jump. I also buy manga books. I have a lot, but I buy a lot at a used book store.

>>920
You're right. Touch is by Adachi Mitsuru.

The first three mangas I referred to was too well-known to us,
to find any Japanese people who haven't heard of those names. Actually,
they were made into animes.

>>921
Yes, those mangas' names ring a bell with me. And you will see
a lot of Japanese people reading mangas on the train.
Even some older people prefer to read them. It's because, I'm sure, there
are several famous magazines for them.

A media report I watched years ago said overseas people did not read mangas
on the train and even they didn't buy any as an adult and that
they regarded mangas as stuff only for children.
Is that true?

a frog walks into a bank and walks up to the teller.
he sees her name is patricia whack.
he says "ms whack i'd like to take out a loan of $3000 for holiday"
she says "ill need to see some collateral" he hands her a small ping glass elephant.
she says "uhhh...ok i need to check with the manager"
he says "its ok my name is kermet jagger, my father and i know the manager"
"ome moment" she says walking to the manager's office. she knocks on the door and walks in.
"sir there is a frog out there says hes called kermet jagger he wants $3000 and wants to use this as collateral"
she holds up the elephant. "what is it?" she asked. to that he says
"its a knick knack patty whack, give the frog a loan. his old man's a rolling stone!"

would anybody help me understand this joke?

For most people yes, reading manga is considered to be for children. I'm 17 and people tell me that I'm too old to watch anime and read manga.

fukushima peaple's ENGLISH
http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/travel/5732/1142302342/l50

That joke is refering to a nursery rhyme that's often told to young children.

>>924
It's a play on an English children's rhyme. The original goes:
"Knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone, this old man goes rolling home."
Patty Whack is a shortened version of the teller's name (Patricia), and "his old man's a Rolling Stone" referrs to Mick Jagger (or however you spell it), the singer in the band the Rolling Stones.

you guys are too knowledgeble and kind to be on 2ch. amazing.
i think i understand the joke, so thank you very much.

>>925
Hmm, alright. Things must have been really the same here in Japan
years ago before Tezuka Osamu started drawing mangas.

It's probably going to remain like this in America for a while. More and more people around my age are getting into anime and manga now. I was one of the first people in my school to like anime. I started watching Sailor Moon when I was 5 years old.

>>931
I know what you mean. I watched on TV that new American managa authors
have started creating their own mangas which were not like batman/superman or what not.

Yeah. I know a lot of people who draw in manga and anime styles. I draw that way actually. One of my friends invited me to join his doujinshi making club.

>>934
Give it a try! And if you let people read your mangas online,
please let me know. I want to read them.

And in the broadcast report, book signing event took place and
many grown-ups were lined up. Maybe the American mangas are in their
course of cultural development.

I don't know who's a hot author and sadly I guess I can't get their
mangas easily, though. Do you know any one of them? If I can buy that
manga book by Amazon, I think I'll take one.

I don't really read much American manga, but I've read some. Megatokyo is funny.

Also my friend Ed and his girlfriend have an online manga called "Middlecenter"

Apparently I need to write u a better description of tripcodes.
How many different times did you ask and yet you still screw it up multiple ways?
The string after the # should be like a password--letters, numbers, symbols, and it does not need to contain "tripcode."
Only the first 8 characters after the # are used.
Some characters are substituted before the tripcode is calculated (such as > -> >) so #>>a and #>>b will be the same.

I have a habit of hitting the snooze button without ever waking up.

テスト

>>959
Hah! Neat! That would indeed be fun to have.

Personally I just tend to use mIRC as an alarm clock instead of an IRC program, as my
computer tends to be turned on 24/7.
I just set a timer to launch an mp3 at the appropriate time.
Usually the mp3 is one of the following:
- the song "Mute" by the band Moonspell
- "Do Virgins Taste Better Medley" by Brobdingnagian Bards
- "Tori no Uta" by some band named I've
- one of the polynap mp3s at http://www.placebo.serv.co.za/?page_id=7 - just because one doesn't
polynap doesn't mean they aren't good for waking up after an entire night's worth of sleep.

And then I try to jump into the shower as quick as possible to refrain from falling back
asleep.

Using mp3-tracks that gradually grow more distracting with an intro works better for me than to instantly
go from complete silence to heart-attack inducing contrasts, for instance abrupt heavy metal on full blast.
Even though I like heavy metal too.

Hello, k-tan.

>>961
At one time I used a winamp plugin that had an alarm but it would gradually turn up the volume.
I mostly used my normal music from my ambient techno playlist.
If I really knew I needed to be up I would set it to something from Venetian Snares + Speedranch, which is noisecore/speedcore.

I use MS Outlook's reminder function as an alarm clock. It's convenient for me because I'm in college and have classes that start at different times on different days. The only problem is I sometimes forget to turn up my PC speakers before going to bed.

I use an old program called "HyperAlarm" which loads my mp3 player of choice...and find the most annoying song I can think of at the moment as the track.

>>964
I don't use Outlook. It irks me, by some odd reason. Never could put my finger on it.
