CHAT ROOM　・　英語チャット

Hello.
I want to learn English with chat room.
Would you reply to this?

I want to learn English too!

Hello, >>3.
I'm a Japanese.
Where are you from?

I'm from Japan.

How do you spend today?

Nothing　special.
Today, I went "Book Off(used book store)" and just read a Manga.
It was same as usual day.

>>7
you need to read the dictionary's word of "same".

I don't get it.
I have only English-Japanese dictionary.
You mean, I'm repeating the similar words?
Like same-usual??

>>9
I am not >>8 but >>6.
Don't mind small mistakes.

>>7
I like "Jarinko-Chie".
What title of manga do you like?

I think he meant you forgot to put "the" in the sentence.
It differs from person to person whether it is a small mistake or not.

>>12
How do you insert "the" into >>7 ?

Though I'm not so familier with manga, the one I found intereting was Death Note.
It was great. Both Light and L are genius and Misa is so cute.
In thier battle, readers can't imagine what's going on next.

>>10 >>12
Thanks!!

>>11
My house was forbidden to read a Weekly Shonen Jump.
So, now I am reading "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ".
I know about other old Manga. Like "Dragon Ball" "Seint Seiya" "Hokuto no ken".
Because, these were broadcasted on TV.

I don't know if you want things correcting or improving, but...

Nothing special.
Today, I went [to] "Book Off" (used book store) and just read a Manga.
It was [the] same as [a] usual day.

It was already understandable to native speakers, but if you pick up
on small things, that is how it would be.

>>14
That sounds interesting.

I don't think it's good idea to care about grammar too much.
It's not a fun at all. What the most important is communication.

>>16
Thank you very much.

>>18
I agree with you.

I'm from Hyogo prefecture. Where are you from, everyone?

I'm from Hyogo too.

>>1
Why the hell did you build up this crap thread?
Don't you know there are so many threads ih here, which makes us confused?
If you want to chat in English, you'd better go to " chat in English part...".

>>16
You are very kind person!

>>18
I agree with you. Because I don't want to bother the other people here.

>>21
I'm from Osaka.

>>23
At least they are not only talking about boobs.

>>22>>24
Oh, there are many Kansai-jin in this thread!

Kansaijin is a sort of people who don't know what shame is.

Hi.
I'm a Japanese.
Is there anyone?

hey guy, i am also japanese and test takers.
let`s talk with me!

>>25

Personally, I find boobs to be an excellent subject for conversation!

How to memorize English words, everyone?

I want to improve my English.
What should I do?

>>31

There's unfortunately no way around it, other than practicing
by using them often, as it is for us with Kanji.
Eventually, though, you can recognise parts of words and deduct
their meaning more easily.

>>32

Just practice. Though the real secret to learning languages is:
- Enjoy it.

That makes it so much easier for you to stay interested,
learn vocabulary and pick up on grammar and sentence structure.

I suggest simply conversing with fluent speakers about subjects
of your choice.
That way, you won't get bored, and your English will improve on
its own.

>>33 has it right. I'm a native English speaker trying to learn
Spanish, and it's pretty much the same thing. Practice is key.
Try reading English versions of things that interest you.

>>34
Are you really a native English speaker??
The way you use the language seems a little bit different from the one native English speakers do.　
Oh well, who cares?

>>33>>34
I'm not >>35 but >>32 .
Thank you for your advice.
I'm going to converse and read in English in future.
By the way, I'm a Japanese.
Where are you from?

>>35
What made you think so?
I'd like you to explain it to me more specifically.

Hello.
Is there anyone?

hey, I'm a native speaker. ｱﾒﾘｶｼﾞﾝﾃﾞｽ
You all seem like typical Japanese speakers of English to me you have big vocabularies and you just need a little practice.

>>39
Hi.
I'm a Japanese.
I'm from Hyogo prefecture.
I want to improve my English.
How is election campaign in USA?
Which political party do you support?

I guess it's you that built this crappy thread.
So you're responsible for using it up to the end.
By the way, I think,"How is S going" is much better.

>>39
Please help us to practice English.

>>39 needs more punctuation.

You all seem like typical Japanese speakers of English to me; you
have big vocabularies and you just need a little practice.

>>43
Semicolon is difficult to understand.
Could we use comma? Or just make into 2 sentences?

>>44

Wikipedia explains it pretty nicely:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon

The Iowa Caucuses are this week. Historically these first primary elections have been very important for Presidential candidates to establish themselves as front runner for their party's nomination.

You know, he is just a lazy person.
In this case, You should use period from the viewpoint of the meaning.

now you are overusing punctuation nanashi-san

Do all the people here love boobs?

Which one?
I surely made a mistake starting with a capital letter "You" after comma,but otherwise
I am absolutely right.

>>46
It is interesting.
I'm very interested in the election in USA.
How do you guess which candidate will be president?

How do you think about method of improving one's English which is proposed by Hiroto Onishi and Paul Chris McVay?

You also can chat in these threads.

Chat in English (英語で雑談) Part 99
http://academy6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1198673379/l50

>>51
The Iowa primaries are a bit different, all the members of a political party try to come to an agreement. Usually we simply vote on a secret ballot and the most votes gains the support of that state's delegation.

Hello everyone!
I'm usually in the Chat in English (英語で雑談) threads, but I guess this is a nice place to talk as well.
:)

I'm ケイラ, a native speaker. Nice to meet you. n___n

I like you, Keira, because you seem to be always cheerful and friendly.
I'm not good at English so I don't have enough courage to talk to you.
But whenever I see your posts, I read them. ....from your big fan lol

By the way, how is your studying Japanese getting along?

>>56
Thank you!
Please, feel free to talk to me! I'm just an average person, just like you. ;)
Your English seems fine to me. n_n

My japanese studies aren't going so well. :<
The class I wanted to take got cancelled, so I went an entire semester without any practice.
But I'm sure that If I reviewed it, it would all come back to me. :D

Lets both try hard!!

>>57
How do you know >>56 is an ordinary person?

For all you know they might have tentacles, or very, very bad breath.

>>54
Is the delegation same as a qualified voter?

>>55
Hello, Keira.
I'm Mochi, not a native speaker.
Nice to meet you.
I'm from Hyogo prefecture.
Where are you from?

>>58
Hey! You! I'm not an octopus or something like that.
But may be I have a very bad breath now because I've eaten a Chinese dish with loads of garlic.
Try smelling my breath? Harr,,,,,,,h reached you?

>>61
You shouldn't reply to 'arashi'.
Bye the way, do you know what is arashi in English?
I don't know it.

>>62
Sorry, me neither.
Please ask me such a difficult question because my English ability is almost
as same as yours.
I'd like you to keep waiting until someone who can teach it to you turns up.

Wow! I made a terrible mistake!
correction don't ask me such....

>>62
Something along the lines of 'storm', I think.

>>63
All right, I'll wait it.

>>64
That's all right.

>>65
Thank you for teaching me it.
I'm a Japanese.
Are you an Englishman?

It is 'troll' in that case, since >>58 is considered to be an 荒らし.
嵐 and 荒らし are homophones in kanji.

>>66
You're very welcome.
And yes, I'm an Englishman.

Or rather, I think 'arashi' is 'ruiner' in English.

>>67>>68
How do you think of >>69 ?

X How do you think of
O What do you think of

I wonder why boobs are that beautiful..

>>69
I think it's "troll or raid."
/b/ loves to raid chat rooms. lol

Don't feed the troll.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure. Shoot.

How can I say "お体にお気をつけて" or "ご自愛ください" in English?
I want to say like that in an e-mail to my friend.

Take care of yourself.

ive got to take toeic test and get high score on that sooner.
i dont have any patikulaur skills and i havent even go to univercity,
so i need something to show my ability to other people who might hire me.
otherwise chances me getting decent job are very nill.
life is not fair. im smart but my parents dont have much money and
couldnt afford to get me(super inteligent boy) into college.
poor me. if i born in usual house, i defnetally could go to tokyou univercity
and my future were bright like shinning sun. poor me.

I thought too but my husband says
"you should find better words! Study more!"
Though I always tell him they are not same...

>>60
Hi mochi-san. :D
I'm from California,so I'm on the west coast of the US.

>>79
Can you get a scholarship? or a loan?

>>79
Are you sirious? lol
I don't think smart people call themselves super intelligent. lmao

In case you are serious, personally, there's more to life than studying English.
You should learn bookkeeping/laws/corporate tax, etc, to get lisenced.

>>81
I didn't know you were learning Japanese.
You can count on me if you like.

>>66
Do your boobs swell like rice cake when they are hot?

What's your idea about weeaboos and wapanese, keira?

>>82
Yes, maybe we can practice in the future. :D

>>84
"Wapanese" is such a mean term! xD

If you're talking about otaku in the US, then I don't really have an opinion.
I don't really relate to the otaku in my japanese classes because I don't really watch that much anime.
But someoneelse's hobbies and interests aren't my bussiness unless they make it my bussiness. xD
So I can still be friends if I like their attitude.

>>85
Uhhh, you seem to get me wrong.
I didn't mean to be mean.
I sometimes come across that term. Personally, it's unfair to derogate
someone just because they like Japanese stuff. You?
And yeah, personalities/charactors of a person are important.
Couldn't agree more.

keira, can I pick your brain about English grammar?
We are stuck in a rut about an English sentence in another thread.
can you read the sentence in question and hummer out a good solution?

"I don't know what that is makes me that way."

Do you think the sentence above grammatically make sense?
The point is, "what that is makes" -blahblahblah...
What "that is" in it used for? I don't think it's short for "that is to say"
meaning "in other words".. What do you think?
Can you shed any light on this? Thanks.

"I don't know what that is makes me that way."
Doesn't sound right. I suppose it would sound better as :

" I don't know what makes me that way."
If the "That is" (short for "That is to say") would be anywher ein that sentence, then it should be at the beggining.
"That is...I don't know what makes me that way."
And even then, It only works conversationally.

Sorry for my weird explanation. This is my take on it.

>>86
Agreed. I think it's just fine to admire another culture, so long as someone doen't WISH that they were from another culture. Because people should be happy for who they are!

>>88
Thanks for the explanation, keira.
So you also find the sentence wierd, right?

According to the person that posted the sentence,
it's an exerpt from sample sentences in a grammar book by a Japanese author.
(and honestly I've never seen a sentence like that before..)
Anyway, thanks again.

>>89
The sentence is wrong.
It should be, "I don't know what it is that makes me that way."

keira, have you ever heard of Youtube?
It's a famous website where you can post your videos.
There are many people who learns Japanese that post their vlogs in Japanese.
Are you intrigued to know who is famous among those people?

>>90
I'm not the one who wrote the sentence. l

The problem here is, English grammar textbooks by Japanese authors are full of such sentences.lol

>>89
Oh,I think that >>90 is on to something. :D

>>91
Oh! what a coincidence! I've been thinking about starting a vlog myself. xD
But I won't be able to start doing that until after vacation. (I'm leaving the country on monday)
Yes, I would like to know! Then maybe I can subscribe to them when I get a vlog up. n__n

>>93
Sounds like a really good idea!
I'll be supporting you! And I'll deffinitely subscribe to you
when you start vlogging.

So far, we are asking keira questions.
I think it's about time for him to ask us.

So, keira
Any questions?

Sounds like a really good idea!
I'll be supporting your pneis! And I'll deffinitely subscribe to your anus
when you start vlogging.

Oh, one thing,
By vlob you mean blog, huh?

What is vlogginh?
Is it veneral log for HID?

Sorry for the typo

×By vlob you mean blog, huh?
○By vlog you mean blog, huh?

Ok, let me..
The first one is kerokerorin.
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kerokerorin813
Sspeaks fluent Japanese. And she was introduced in Japanese TV show,
though only a short while : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytT9H60kKdY

Why she got attention from Japanese E-audiences is because she speaks
like young Japanese gals, imo. Personally, it's kinda disgusting. lol
But yeah, it's also sort of surprising that a non-Japanese person
has been teaching herself Japanese like this. She has a fan thread in the
Youtube board of 2ch. (she doesn't seem to come visit there, though.)

>>94
Thank you. n__n

>>99
A vlog is a video blog.
Video + log =vlog

I don't think I've met you before haruki-san. :D
How was your new years?

>>99
No no, vlog means "video blog".

*She* speaks blah-blah-blah...
Sorry I messed things up. orz

Nice having you back.

Well, I enjoyed visiting a shrine the day before yesterday.
I was hanging around watching fair vendors.
At home I was watching dramas, Lost Desperate Housewives.
Yes, I relaxed.


If I'm coming on strong talking to you with no self-introduction?
forgive me, please.

The second one is applemilk1988.
To be totally honest with you, I'm not so interested in her.
She also has fan threads..

Probably, you'll know why I don't like her. She's become a bit arrogant
as things like that happens to famous Youtuber.
http://www.youtube.com/user/applemilk1988

What she does often rocks the boat. Rumours says it that she's in Japan now.

>>102
I goccha. Thanks.

The next one is, Victor in the world. Not sure if famous is the right term to describe him,
but he is doing vlogging in Japanese, is chosen as editor or something like that.
The video below is sort of conversational.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehFy8ZOTAk0

>>105
About applemilk1988
to me her Japanese is very natural.
She must've spent years in Japan when she was young.
However, she is boring.

MRirian
http://www.youtube.com/magibonchan

She dreams to live in Japan.
She also has fan threads where she sometimes posts to communicate with her J-followers.

>>108
I'll say. I don't like her fantards, though.

>>108
Ah, to my knowledge, applemilk1988 didn't grow up in Japan, but as you guessed,
she was here in Japan for sightseeing or something last summer/fall.
She says she loves to listen to Gackt.

Fantard? What's that?

>>112
Fantard is a blinded fan of someone that says YES to whatever s/he says.
It sounds like fan + retard to me.

>>111
For real?
I'm impressed.
With a brief stay in this country, she speaks that well.

keira, are you still here?

There are many more Youtubers that are known to us, but
I think that's it for now.

Anyway, I can't wait for your vlogs, keira!
Just a few Japanese sentence will do! (if you think of posting videos in Japanese)

Oh, did I overwhelm you by these posts, keira??
Sorry if I upset you.

Sorry, I went to eat dinner. xD

Ah, it must be nice going to a shrine on New Years, but probably crowded, right?

I'm still watching different videos, but kerorin is interesting from what I can tell.Her japanese is fluid, and she seems like an average down to earth girl.
Is it really that uncommon for foreign people to have fluent japanese? I mean, she even went on a TV show because of it? Strange. :O

Thanks for these videos. These youtubers are MUCH better at japanese than I am, so i'm trying my best to understand them. xD

Hopefully, someday I can be just as talented. :D

>>116
Thank you! I'll try my best when I do. n__n
I think that I'll probably do most of my blogs in english, but maybe some in japanese too, since I need to practice. :)
It will be at least 2 weeks though, since I'll be on vacation, but as soon as I get back I'll try to buy a webcam that isn't too expensive. n_n

>>118
Hmm, good question.
I don't think it's uncommon for non-J people to speak Japanese. Still
many of us think it's tough to learn a different language on ones own.
People say we Japanese are made to learn English at least for 6 years, and still
most of us weren't able to speak English. That's probably why we think the same goes for foreign people.
Get the picture? And another reason that's come to mind is like "on fast-come fast served basis",
I mean, she posted her first Japanese vlog when no other girls did so. That's why she drew attention, imo.

As for me, however, I came to understand spoken Japanese is kind of easy. Japanese sounds/pronunciation/accents
are quite simple compared to other languages such as Chinese, French, and of course English.
That makes it easy to learn Japanese.

>>118
Yes, the shrine was so busy.

To answer your second question, I would say,
just because you speak fluent, it can be amazing to Japanese people.
You know, for Japnanese people it's much harder to speak fluent English.
So we are surprised to hear foreign people having fluent jananese.
That's how I see it.

I gotta go now. See you.

>>119
Good luck! You're the first one from the English board!
I'll be on your side. (probably some other guys also will!)

I'd masturbate when keira will make vlog.

Not again. Creepy KGKGKG.
You should go after only magibon. You aren't welcome here.

I can't wait for your vlogs, keira!
You must be adorable

Sounds like a really good idea!
I'll be supporting your pneis! And I'll deffinitely subscribe to your anus
when you start vlogging.

Why do we need to have two separate threads for chatting in English?
Silly.

>>81
Hi, keira.
Do you live in California now?
I want to improve my English.
Reply to me, please.

>>128
Yes, I still live there.
I'm going to go to sleep now, but I can talk with you tomarrow if that's okay. n__n
See you tomarrow! (It's still Friday here. lol)

>>129
You sure are sleepy. lol

>>129
Thank you for your reply.
I'm looking forward to talking with you.
Good night.

Good afternoon. n_n

>>133
Good afternoon, keira.
I want to talk with you.

She's not here. I'll talk with you in her stead, then.

>>134
Poor Mochi! You seem to be crazy about Keira.
But with only two lines, you can't attract the attention of her.

>>136
I don't think I'm in the market for a boyfriend.

Keira, are you bi?
How much are you sexially awake? I'll show you how spelendid women are.

Hi.

Without keira, the thread is as good as dead.

This is a pen.

.Hello again. xD
I'll try to be on longer this time so maybe I can actually respond.>.>

>>137
I suppose this was a joke, but I'll answer anyways. xD
As much as I find woman beautiful, I don't like them THAT way.
I'm straight-asexual.

Hi.
I'm Boquense in Japan.
Is it ok for everyone(including me) to write something on this thread?

I don't know what "Boquense" menas, but everyone is welcome to post. :D
<3

Thanks a lot for replying.
"Boquense"is a Spanish word and it means a big fan of
Boca Juniors(Argentine soccer team).
I'm a Japanese but I was born and lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina
and I love the team so I decided to use this word as my
nickname.

Oh, I see!
I've heard that the largest population of japanese people outside of Japan is in Brazil.
How's the weather in Argentina?

It is the summer in Argentina.
Many people in Buenos Aires go to a beach called "Mar del Plata"
and enjoy their vacation.

I looked into my English dictionary and found out a phrase suitable for this thread's
situation, which is " a complete lack of exuberance".
