Hey!!! All you NEETs, nerds, YouTube-link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis,
Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers,
Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters,
Big-boobs fans, Weeaboos from all over the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, cunning
linguists, stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys, Touhou pirates, and
that electrical super-gay who suffers from mental disease - This is your thread!
Let's hope Igirisu-jin and the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

This is the place to have a ball!!!!!
Let's support recovery efforts in Japan!!!!!!

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to make another one of these or not,
but I did it anyway. If I wasn't supposed to, let me know, and I won't do it again.

Well done!

Excuse me, can I ask you a quick question? well, please help me.
I have trouble with my homework.　I have to translate this　English text
to Japanese.

"How long can you stand on one leg with your eyes closed
before you lose your balance? Try doing this exercise and time yourself;
your time is up when you open your eyes or lose your balance.
For a person in their 20s, 60seconds would be excellent. For someone
in their 60s, 15seconds would be good."

I can't understand third line and fourth line. What does that mean?
By any chance, s is not second? what is the "s"?

I'm sorry. I have the wrong line. I can't understand fourth and fifth line.
The term "s" is used in "in their 20s, in their 60s".

>>5
20s stands for twenties. Good job.

>>5
They "In their 20s" means "In their twenties". That is, people who are 20-29 years old.

>>6 >>7
Thanks so much!

I wonder how many 2ch addicts are there in this thread?

The word for that is "Anonymous".

More than enough.

only you

Good morning everyone.It's getting colder nowadays.
Be careful don't catch cold.

I'm singing my wish to be loved in a loud and hoarse voice.
I try to tell myself that I'm too old for this.
But can't help seeking the answer again.

Oh thank you for making this thread.

Next Sunday, I will take an EIKEN exam for pre-1grade.
In this time, I will take the exam THREE TIMES.
Ah, I hope this time will be last...

>>16
I wish you luck! Will you report us the result?

I am a right.

>>16
Do your best!

I am right.

I am so right.

I don't feel like doing anything!I will be busy with school work soon, but my feeling is still like I'm on summer vacation!

>>22
Enjoy it while it lasts! wwww

>>23
no school has started already! anyway I will enjoy studying as much as possible!

stay hungry,stay shiri-ana.

>>25
Are you seducing gays?

Good morning everyone. How's it going?
I have to get studying English.

On the other side of the closed door there's something new waiting for me.
And it's running me saying "you'll be fine".
Life is not all roses but still I wanna knock on the next door.
It's an endless journey to search for the real self which should be greater than now.

Steve Jobs is dead. The world would be a much better place if I had died
instead of him. I would sacrifice the lives of 1000 NEETS to reincarnate Steve Jobs.

Stay angry, stay tulip.

1:Today's first class starts at 11. 2: Takes roughly an hour from home to school. (plus 5minutes walk from the station to the campus)3: Now I'm not even halfway.

That means there's a high possibility of me being late !

Hello my Japanese friends. I don't know who else to ask but Japanese people, and since you guys can speak English I need your feedback.

Does this Japanese sentence make sense?

僕は日本の急がしさがあまり好きじゃなかったです。

>>36
It sounds good to me but 慌ただしさ（あわただしさ）sounds a bit better but
maybe that's just me... Not sure.

Maybe if you post what you wanted to say in English, perhaps you can get
better answer...

Got back from the dentist office!! But my tooth reallllllly hurts!!! When I drink hot or cold stuff, it kills me!!

>>36
Yes, That sentence makes sense. I mean it's grammatically correct. But it would be better to give more specific information after that, like your own experience!

>>38
I recommend you have your dentist pull out all of your teeth so that
you are blowjob friendly person.

Ahh what is happening to my messages! They are not appearing here.

Someone postedthe Yamapi & Ryo going solo. Thank you.
Will Yamapi as good as Akanishi Jin? We will see.
Is Kazuya next? I hope not.

Yeah you should come visit ! I wanna go to the US again !!!

Yama-P's sister wrote in her blog that she wants everybody to understand the 8 years of patience of his.
(the blog entry has already been deleted)

So NEWS fans got angry, like "What? Being a member of News for 8 years equals to 8 years of patience?
He wanted to leave the group sooner but he was patient enough not to?" "Isn't the comment rude to
the rest of NEWS memeber and their fans?"

Everybody who read the blog entry and got angry resorted to Twitter and striked back against her, sending messages on her
Twitter account. http://twitter.com/#!/rinayamashita

After this commotion, she posted a comment on her blog, apologizing for what she had wrote.
http://ameblo.jp/rina-maharo2/ (Rough translation of her post is below.)
---------
"I really appologize for making you feel bad and uncomfortable because of my
inappropriate remark.

I was not in a position in the first place where I can comment on that (=his leaving the group)
so I'm deeply sorry (for my imprudent comment.)

Although my brother never talks with me about his job, I posted
such an entry on my blog (and ended up causing commotion.)
I'm deeply sorry."

Queu for iPhone4S

It's sad that I'm alone studying at the cafe on Friday night ;(

I'll take a english licensing examination tomorrow.
I'm very anxiety.

I had completed a contract of iPhone 4S at this afternoon.
But I did it too late that's why I have not received new iPhone yet.
I can hardly wait for receive it...

>>56
My life sucks too

I want more skirts!~

>>57
"Anxiety" is the name of the feeling, but if you are feeling anxiety, you are "anxious".

>>Mr.sparky Yeah, I hope tomorrow(today) is gonna be a great day for each of us !
I need something exciting in my life too!

Oh by the way it's almost 6:30... why am I still up?....For nothing! I should of at least tried to sleep earlier!

I live in L.A. now. I miss Japanese food so bad...

>>17
Ah, yeah. When the result is sent to my home, I will never
fail to report all of you.

So tomorrow is the day. Today's my plan is stay at home all day
to put on my last spruts.

I live in OSAKA now. I miss Japanese people so bad...

>>62
There are a decent amount of Japanese grocery stores in the L.A. area
if you're able to cook:
http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=japanese+grocery&find_loc=Los+Angeles%2C+CA
Actually, "Famima" (owned by FamilyMart) has 11 locations in LA.

There are a lot of tutorials on how to cook on Youtube, and probably
a bunch of other places. Or you could always buy a cookbook...

Good morning everyone. It's raining. But not cold.

Keep fighting NIPPONHAM FIGHTERS!
Never give in SB in CS.

>>63
You are a hard worker, learning English. Everybody here knows it.
I hope you will win!

I would like to take some tests,but I'm not in good health as ever.
It's getting better though....syobo-n（´・ω・｀）

>>68
What is your dish? Up here.

>>67
Yea, thanks. I'm glad.

As you know, iPhone4S has finaly released. Well, I'm not interesed in smartphone at all. So I don't want at all.
Personally speaking, I prefer foldable phones to smartphones. I hate putting fingerprints on cellphone. I wanna
keep it clean. And I treat all buyers who bought iPhone4S on the first released day as "simple-minded trend
followers". I suggest that they should've waited until the phone's price gets down.

Buying something on the first released day is stupid and non-bright shopping way, I do think.

I use a foldable phone as well. The color is pink.

Hey look at this blog!
A student in Kaisei high school's written a English poem or something like that!!
http://ameblo.jp/penkenkiwami/entry-11048571201.html
How smart they are!!

Ishikawa Ryo is now 20 years old at last.
He isn't so good in this competition.His physical possibility is awful.

>>74
He said that the worse the condition has been getting,
the more advantageous he has felt.
I wanna ask him if it's true.

>>74
Um, I think so. And I wonder if he is really GIFTED?
I think the reason Japan's mass media often follows him is just he is a YOUNG GOLFER.
Except that, he isn't a good golfer. Ah, I don't mean I envy him.

it is cased that ishikawa rika doesnt defacate.

I must work on this report for gym class RIGHT NOW, but how could I write about something I don't really understand??
In the first place why do I have to take such a ridiculous class in college =_=

Sorry for talking too much about my own stuff I didn't mean to be KY !!!
But I don't know much about that speed-learning guy lol

>>76
There was a TV program which examined Ryo's physical condition
a couple of years ago, surely using past pictures of famous golfers.
Those who could let fly with drivers off the flame of TV camera
were only Ryo and Tiger Woods. I think his possibility is true.

I move to the preliminary of HAKONE EKIDEN.
I like Juntendo university.
They were not to be seen in the final last 2 years.
Come on!

http://viploader.net/pic/src/viploader1225884.gif
(/ω＼)

Juntendo got it! passed through the last!

juntendo ? is it a home center ?

I like Ekiden, too.
I watch Hakone Ekiden on TV every year, but don't have any favorite team.
Somehow, I only remember the scenes where some athletes who were running the race suddenly had an accident.
For example, Kushibe Seiji, who was a member of Waseda University, got dehydrated when he almost near the goal.
Or Nakamura Yuji, who belonged to Yamanashi Gakuin, retired on the way when his leg got injured .

please write english sorry.

I'd like Oden and beer.

>>84 That is a university's name.

>>85
I remember the scene somehow.
We could see various dramatic scenes in HAKONE EKIDEN.
I never forget the golden age of Juntendo univ. especially the latter of 80's.

>>88
I have oden sometimes.
What kind of oden-dane do you like?
I like Japanese radish.

>>90
Japanese radish is the best!
And I like deep-fried tofu, too.
Now I'm drinking kohaku yebisu and reading an English grammar book.
I think it's hard to understand English grammar with beer.

>>91
I really think so.w

Reading a book while drinking?
What a good taste you have! I've never done such a thing.
I drink only when I want to relax.

>>93
You had better drink 2l of beer, 5cups of sake and 1l of wine.
After that begin to study. It's quite good to learn by heart.

I found "発泡酒" is said low-malt beer/sparkling liquor/
sparkling wine in English.

woohooooo!!!! I'm done with my repoooort!!!!!!!! I'm feeling tottemo great!

>>91 are you drinking alone at home?? Can I join??;D let's study together!

Oops I forgot to put my name !

I don't want to fall asleep!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone. How's it going?
埋地 has already left for the exam? Good luck to you.
But I wonder why you named yourself "埋地"......

>>96 well done!

It's a sunny and a bit humid day. I feel muggy.
But It's a suitable air for drying bedding.

Hi Nishi. Good job on it.
I hardly remember what gym's report is like though I had.
Because It's a long time ago. Now I'm often thinking of the days of university.
I should have tried something seriously.

Good morning everyone. How are you?
My condition isn't so good. I might not go to work today.

Ahhh! Finally a place where people can understand english :)
Anyway, anyone took SAT before??

my ass is as tough as SWAT.

i HAVE TV NOW！！！

>>114
Not many Japanese people need to take SAT test.
TOEFL is what most English learners who plan to study in US take.

I have stayed away work today. Actually I can be absent from my job freely.
Because I'm self-employed.

>>110
I don't wanna join the club like this. But I might have one foot in it.....

>>117
I'm envious of you because I have to go to work every day however worst my condition may be.
There is no one to substitute for me in my workplace.

hey 9.9
Sorry for replying late, I've been kinda busy for the last 3 days!

The report i was doing was about language and cognition. It's nothing to do with gymnastics.... : P
So What would you want to do if you were a college student again??

What do you think, guys?

"killed to death"? What the fuck?

Someone probably thought they were being really clever with that.
It looks like it was intended as a joke.

>>119
Thanks, but just living from hand to mouth.
That's really unstable. I wouldn't like to recommend others actively.
What is good is obviously free.

>>124
That's a serious news program so I doubt that's a joke.
An uneducated person came up with the expression.

>>121
Doesn't matter. If I returned to college, I would join the light music club.
I was a student in the middle of 90's, when J-POP was so great.
Though I played the guitar alone, but I didn't feel like joining something like this.
Japanese popular music was so great at that time that I couldn't think to express anything better.

Sorry, I think "but" is needless above.

Hi, I am a pen.
Are you a desk?

No, I'm an eraser and right next to me is a pan case.

He was a great marketer, but I'd argue that his innovations were not so
innovative. Most of them had been seen before, but the Apple marketing

Thanks for the coverage. Recently, there was a competition where the
winner was sent to every prefecture over the course of three months,
and has to write about the trip. Also, there are some reciprocal schemes
with certain countries for a 'working holiday' where people can apply
for a year-long working visa. Countries involved are the UK, Australia,
Canada, New Zealand, France, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Hong Kong and Korea.


We recently had an Indian Summer, but now it's back to being cold and

what does he say at1:56 ?

Lyrics on many websites says it's "the world will force you to smile"

but it doesn't sound like that

it sounds like "The world enough to force you to smile"ta me but it shouldn't be correct..

>>133
I'm thinking "I don't want to force you to smile", but I'm not certain. Lyrics are always so difficult for me to hear.

>>132
Yeah. I thought a touch panel is Apple's invention but I heard it
was originally invented by Xerox. Maybe he is genious in combining existing (but not
so prevaling) technology in very attractive user frinedly manner.

Japan's experiencing strange weather, on the past sunday the temperature around tokyo
reached almost 30 degree.

Good morning everyone. What's up.
It's a fine delightful day.

>>132
Sorry, It's a little secret. I might unveil it in due time.

>>129
No, I'm an earpick. And next to me are three rubber bands.

One of the most awkward moments: when your in a school cafeteria alone, find someone you know(but not like a friend) sitting near you and chatting with their freinds cheerfully, and don't know if you should say hello to them.......

>>127
That would be nice! I guess playing in the band is much more fun. Do you still play the guitar??

Should I do it?? Maybe not>_<

Came up with a joke.

A: In which field you work?
B: I work in a corn field.

Nice joke for an English leanrer, eh? Self-compliment....

Here's English is easy to read.
But English used in 4chan or something thred abroad is uneasy to do.
Casual english is so difficult.

Hey you guys!
Do you like a comic series of "Yuru Yuri"?
I like it and bought a goods what is a glass with its heroines are painted.
Akari is cute, Kyoko is cute too, Yui is cute too, and Chinatsu is cu..... I don't like her very well....
But all of "Yuru Yuri" heroines are very cute!!!

Don't you guys think so?

>>138
I hardly play nowadays. My condition isn't so good for years.
That's one reason. But I wanna resume before long.
There are many songs which I made.

>>143
They are not difficult, just full of slang.
Keep reading them and you'll be getting accustomed.

>>135
Multi-touching device is Apple's invention, or at least they claim so.
They have a patent for that.

>>150
Multi-touch displays were definitely not made by Apple, although they like people to think they were.

>>133
I believe it's "(I) don't wanna have to force you to smile".

>>140
I like that joke.

ъ(ﾟДﾟ)ｸﾞｯｼﾞｮﾌﾞ!!

>>135
As I'm writing this, the temperature is currently 2 degrees outside. It's due to
become even colder in the coming week.

>>143
I feel it's still best to learn properly structured English before moving to
casually structured (or unstructured) internet/text English.

>>150
Many multi-touch implementations were developed by a company called FingerWorks,
which was founded in 1998. However, Apple bought the company in 2005, along with
their patents. Multi-touch itself has been around in ideas since the 1970s, with
some devices using early concepts in the 1980s. Apple bought the patents, rather
than developing the technology itself.

>>152
Speaking of Apple, have you heard it filed patent lawsuits against Samsung?
Japanese TV media wouldn't try to broadcast news that may harm Korea's reputation, but
on the net, many people show interest in what's going on.

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if the majority of English people knew Samsung is a Korean company?
Many people pointed out that Samsung has been trying to hide its identity because they want to be
considered a Japanese company. Take a look at the image below.
http://img4.blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ybi/1/1c/80/x1konno/folder/1172734/img_1172734_35040440_8?1314432979
Sushi... Mt. Fuji... Those are the things that bring Japan to mind, aren't they?

Why not use Kimchi instead of Sushi?

>>153
cyo ww
really?? majika

>>155
There are many more examples like that.
You'll get sick, I promise you.

>>141 >>151
I'm glad you like the joke.

>>153
That's awful. They should'nt pretend they are Japanese company.

>>150
apple sucks

>>153
yes

>>153
!!!!


This is strange behavior

>>155
>>157
>>160
Don't be surprised to death by watching this youtube video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaOCQ9AQyP0

>>159
Yes for what?

One of the most important things that worries me here is that many people believe Samsung is a Japanese company that breaks patents.
Korean people have a bad habit of doing bad things in disguise of Japanese.
I read months ago, for example, that a Korean woman got arrested in Taiwan or Hong Kong for doing something bad (sorry I forgot exactly what)
after she claimed she was Japanese (what the heck is the purpose of that?).
There are many more examples like this than I can't remember now.

>>161
I went speechless the way Koreans use Sumo wrestler and Mt. Fuji in their advertisement.

>>152
It's too cold over there. It's not winter yet, so it should be cool...




....as COOL TAK

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/5931685/

Some people wanna do facelift to your car like this?

>>163
They should use Kimchi to market their products.

Today was just great

minus losing my favorite earrings..>_<

>>162
You can't pick one or two examples to generalize what others do.
Though it's absolutely true that most Japanese restaurants in my city,
which is one of top ten in the US, are owned by either Korean or Chinese people.
Though some places serve ok food, some dishes are awkward.
For example, one place serves a rice bowl with katsu and sunny side up on it.
We do not call it a "Katsu-don". (But it's my favorite).

>>151-152
I didn't know how they got the patents for multi-touch screens.
I just assume that they developed it as they hold the patents.
In any case, I like their products not because they use the top-notch technology,
but because I feel happiness when I use them such as iTouch or Macbook.

I know this is off the topic, but which city do you live?? Please tell me if you don't mind!

To >>169

Korean student in my university laboratory　is nice guy.
I think the significant problem is　not so much characteristics of a nation
but education and government policy in Korea. This is much more difficult problem
than we thought.

>>170
I am in Houston.
Well, I know it's not a good place to find decent japanese restaurants.

>>172
Yeah, stereotypes are stupid.
You can't expect an entire country to all act the same way.
It doesn't even make sense if you think about it.

the rate of Korean people commiting crimes is high. That's based on the hard evidence and data.
Those who try to stand up for Koreans often say, my Korean friend is nice or whatever.
So what? The thing is, we are not talking about your friend. There are many koreans commiting crimes that
are arrested for that.

>>175
I know that the crime rate for Korean is the highest of all foreigners in Japan,
but to me it's kind of funny that you say that it's supported by
"the hard evidence and data" without showing any number.

>>176
You can search on the net. The police make it public.
Or do you still want me to copy and pate the data even after knowing that?

>>175
The crime rate here is going up rapidly too. It's not because the people are suddenly becoming evil,
it's because there are no jobs anymore. People turn to drugs and crime when they have no jobs.
There are many factors to be considered.

>>177
You didn't catch the point. I said that I know it is true.
What I meant was you should quote something when you
say your argument based on the facts.

Your english was a bit funny and I wanted to tease you. Sorry.

>>179
That was a pain. I'd do that if you did know, but why ask if you knew?
Anyway, what's so funny about my English?

>>180
Your english looks like wrong grammer, I guess.

testing
?

>>181
My English looks like wrong grammar? Geez, how & when did I accomplish that?
I don't know. lol
I'll try my best to sound better, though.

accomplish?

>>173 Cool. What's it like living in Texas? How long have you lived there?
Huston is one of the places I want to visit in the states ! >v<

>>180
It's not that funny. Just a little bit.
And as I am japanese, my english must be like that to native speakers.

Here's the reason why I said that to you.
When you make friends with foreign people, your english can be broken.
But if you are attacking or criticizing others,
you have to be convincing (e.g. using correct english or showing evidences etc).
Your writing is clear and easy to follow, but not quite good to persuade people.
But this is 2ch, probably you don't have to be that serious.

>>173
Have you ever participated SXSW (music, techy) festival?
If so, what was it like.
The plan that 1000 tech startup Japanese people will participate in it the next year
to make a big impact and to draw attentions is underway.
underway.

Living in Texas is not as bad as most people think. It's civilized in cities.
We don't see cowboys with 44 magnums outside Rodeo shows.

There aren't so many places in Houston which attract travelers,
but it's good place to live because of very inexpensive living costs
(especially food and housing), and huge ethnic diversity.
Weather is terrible in summer (and a half of every year is summer),
but from October through March is amazing.

>>187
I haven't been there unfortunately.
My friends have, and here's what they said.
It's like a showcase of young musicians.
If you are not in music industry, you must be a big fan of music.
There is a little point to go there just one day.
Stay as long as one can and enjoy everything.

>>190
I see. thanks for sharing it.
Twitter's popularity incresed dramatically when it was first introduced in the
event as far as I know.

>>189
Yes, I heard about it from my friend too ！but Texas is such a huge state, right?? what about much more rural, less populated farming areas?? I also want to visit those inaka places!!>_^

Breaking news has come to me. As you already know, Gaddafi has been
captured by Libyan forces. Look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15385955

For most Libyan people, it's happy thing. But I think the current situation in there will be remained.
Even if he is killed. War is(hard to be)over.

>>199
Some sources says he's already dead due to the wounds.

And now it's confirmed, he's dead. There are pictures of the body on the news.
Sic semper tyrannis!

>>200
Ah, according to breaking news from BBC News, he has been killed.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15389550

Anyway, this is also a surprising news.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health-news/2011/10/19/doctors-reckon-we-ll-be-able-to-live-to-150-within-five-years-115875-23498280/

If the dream comes true, we all will be happy because we can live longer. But I don't wanna
live longer with some illness like cancer, diabetes... In addition, I wonder if there are some
fun in the future world where I would be in if I can live longer.

Well, for some who wanna live longer, it's a good information and gives them hope to live in
this so fuckin' cruel world.

split it what you wanna say loud voice.

Funny incident.

>>202
This is off the point but doesn't the girl in the photo look tall and big
comapred to the nurse next to her?

She looks like an elementary school or junior high school kid but looks
as if she were 2meter tall.

>>201
It's a shame that he wasn't able to be taken alive. There were still many questions to be asked of him,
especially in the case of the Lockerbie Bombing, of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people. And
of his involvement in deals with people such as our former prime minister, Tony Blair.

>>169
It's best to use what you feel most comfortable with, as well as what gives you the functionality you need.
It's just a shame that all these manufacturers are suing and counter-suing, when it's competition that leads
to innovation, which is best for the consumer. Anyway, I'd say that I respect Jobs for his ability to build
businesses, especially when he bought an offshoot of the special effects company ILM and turned it into
what we know today as Pixar.

>>164
It'll have to get a lot colder to be as cool as Cool TAK.

>>206
Yeah, it would have been nice to get some more information out of him, but as long as he was alive,
he was a figurehead for the regime holdouts. Hopefully with him head the holdouts will surrender
and less lives will be lost in his service. The Libyan people need to be able to move on and take
control of their country, and if foreign interests must suffer to that end, then so be it.

Some breaking news
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/20/us-ohio-animals-loose-idUSTRE79I0U720111020
Every time I see this kind of news, I renew the impression about
craziness of people in the US.

>>206
When Macbook Air launched, engineers in Japanese electronics makers
slashed it saying like "we can make thinner, lighter products at much lower price"
or "look at this excessive use of materials and screws."

What I thought was, "men, it's not the reason why people are excited about it
these companies need much time to come out from Galapagos and
start creating attractive products."
After 3 or 4 years, nothing has been changed.

do you guys believe he is a genuine japanese ?

>>209
I don't know what you mean by "genuine",
but he looks more Japanese than Havenaar Mike, and
and to me Mike is as Japanese as anybody else.

>>202
If I can live till 150 at the physical and mental conditions I have right now,
I definitely want to, regardless of the state of the world.
But, if not, I don't know.

>>210
i want to say native (racially) japanese.

>>208
Your post reminded me of something I meant to post... the ridiculous unveiling of a product from Chinese
firm Asustek...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ANnpHnUrc

>>153
I'd say most people here are aware that Samsung is a Korean company, but other Korean companies are
sometimes confused with Japanese companies. One such example was a question on some quiz where the
answer implied that Hyundai was a Japanese motor company. As for LG, it's not widely known here that
they are Korean. Most people think LG stands for "Life's Good", which is their advertising slogan here,
rather than "Lucky Goldstar".

Morning, everyone. What's new. It's cloudy today and likely to rain.
I think the latest posts is difficult but significant.
I read with interest.

Anyway, as it is a little cold this morning roasted tea taste so nice.

Bristol teenage beauty queen flees South Korean pageant

>Amy Willerton, 19, the title holder of Miss Bath, Miss Bristol and Ms Wales University

>But she alleged competitors were sexually harassed and

I have watched Aljazeera TV recently.
I wanna say firmly this. Don't show dead bodies too much! Too bad habit.
I don't know why they like to show them.
Are these tendency peculiar to areas where people believe in monotheism?

With arms wide open under the sunlight Welcome to "this" place I'll show you everything With arms wide open

Let's replace arms with legs and read again>_<

This iPhone charger i just bought today isn't working already !!! What a waste of moneyT-T

Me: hey, you look so boring
American: what?
Me: I said you look boring
American: um you mean bored??
Me: no, I mean you look boring (smile)
American: fuck you
Me: T-T

Be careful with tricky adjectives!!

>>219
Boring is tricky? I don't understand.

>>216
They show dead bodies because the uncertainty of the situation requires it.
If there's no proof that someone is dead, their supporters will believe they are still alive but in hiding.

I mean, some English learners confuse these two words.
Like when they mean to say something like "hey what's up. you look bored", they say "your boring" or whatever. It could be a misunderstanding, so be careful when you use them. That's what I wanted to say.
But anyways, it's just a shitty joke and I posted it without thinking much(◎_◎;) fogeeeeeeeet>_<

>>224
I got it.
When I was an english beginner and wanted to say I am excited,
I often said "I am exciting." That was not true at all, though.

>>225
Yeah I did same thing sometimes!! Every time I made basic mistakes like that, I felt like I want to die ! But nobody doesn't care as long as they know we are learning English actually..

>>225
Gotta start somewhere!

>>227
don't worry. I am a cool and awesome guy right now.

How about spherical diamond?

My nearly two-year-old granddaughter is dancing with her most favorite K-pop music.
Cute...but, I'm really anxious about Japan's future.

>>232
Women around the same age of you are really into Yon-sama.

all women around me are not interested in Kpop.

I was about to dance like GAGA when I thought better of it.

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/zoom/20111022-OYT9I00365.htm

Wanna ride this cool motorebike?

>>233
I'm not into him since I am a straight man.

>>237
My first thought was wow the guy's helmet looks weird

>>232 We will support JPOP don't worry.

What do you mean by "we"?
You actually support the guy you like, not JPOP

We. as the non-Japanese JPOP fans.
I love JPOP. That includes many Japanese Rock, Pop and Hip Hop
artists from Japan. Everywhere I go I talk about Japanese Pop.
Then again, I talk about Swedish, German, Russian pop too.
www

How about instrumental music?
I like the sound of a classical guitar.
Muraji Kaori, who is a female guitarist, is my favorite.
She is so cute!!

I will look her up. Thank you for your suggestion.
I LOVE instrumental music.

I love Bach, and this is good:

>>206
I wonder if Tony Blair is suspected of taking bribes or anything from him
or just getting involved with economic trades, say, in the oil industries?

Personally, I can't bring myself to watch Qadhafi's body even on TV (I'm not 201).
Seems like the picture(s) was/were broadcast on TV. How come they weren't censored?
Guess that doesn't have good influences on kids, at least.

>>213
I've recently watched on TV a Japanese TV reporter asking some people in Europe if they know
Samsung is a Korean company and the result is that 4 out of 10 people, though I'm not sure exactly
where in Europe the survey was conducted, say it is a Japanese company. Hmm, it's probably
due to their advertisements, I guess.

>>244
Thank you for uploading her picture
Exellent! I'm sure you have an ear for music.

j poop

I think classicl music learner or player are often acquiring other language
I have played classical guitar also piano.
well playing violin sonata & paltita of bach
in my opinion, baroque music is well suitable for the guitar
however ,the piece that has sing-line like modern pieces hardly resound with guitar because of volume problem

Please let him get the job..

>>248 You are so privileged to be able to play Bach.
Do you think it is an instrument or performer problem?
Do you mean the sound doesn't resonate properly?

http://ajw.asahi.com/category/cool_japan/

This section might be good for ppl who love cool Japan.

>>239
Thank you for supporting Japan.
But my point was that she chose K-pop instinctively.

You comment reminded me of Ashida Mana chan, who is also fond of dancing to the music of Kara.
Kara is one of the K-pop stars,who consists of five pretty girls.
Of course, I like their music,too.

With the exception of Shinee, I don't listen to KPOP at all.
With JPOP, the feeling is so much different, the appeal is more
direct but subtle. I also follow bands from other countries who
have that sort of appeal. But for me, JPOP is one way of understanding the sophisticated
culture of yours. Even if it is idol music that you look down on, is
interesting to me. Because everything is coded so differently, so
unusually, that is why it is so refreshingly different.

BTW I found this clip of KyonKyon from last summer, isn't she gorgeous?
I don't like the host, nor his singing but K2 just SHINES.
What an amazing character. I would be very happy if a kind Japanese person could translate the
essence of what she is saying. I can understand the first section, where she talks about her 16 year
old part; then she mentions marriage, that bit, I do not understand.

Yoroshiku onegaishimas.

Kara are very good looking and talented, but when the queen of KPOP
is undoubtedly BOA.

I think music is all about life energy, if you can describe it well,
and get into the mind of the audience, and move them emotionally,
then you are making great music. Because mood varies from individual
to individual, also with time; and because emotional perception differs,
from nation to nation, there will be different tastes in music.

I think most of us look for music that maps to our emotions. If we find
it does, we derive pleasure from it.

do you know dreams come true ?

The queen of queens is Queen.
I want to suffocate to death in Freddie Mercury's chest hair...

>>252 It is because KPOP is so much more catchy, repetitive
and easier to move to than JOP songs. The tune "lodges into"
your brain. I saw many small kids dancing to DBSK songs on youtube.

Now, let's talk about "twitter-tool".

Lately, I've heard shameful news that one of my university's students
confessed comitting drunken driving on her own twitter page.
Needless to say, the tweetings have been unveiled by someone. Sigh...

I'm so sad and embarrassed. Why did she do such silly things?
I guess she thought her confession might not be unveiled in public. But,
as you all know, this internet world is filled with many dangers..

All she should've done is to know the fact. Ah...
Incidentally, I've never done such thing before. I'm a good guy! Yah.
Why?I don't have driver's license. I don't wanna buy car now. I think
I'm good enough to using train and bicycle.

>>260
So you are Rikkyo or Sophia university student.

I really need to study.I swear I'll stop making excuses about my laziness any more!!

>>262
then stop writing hare.
close your 2ch browser and open the textbook.

Apologies! Here is the KyonKyon link:

I've got something to do at hand so I'll watch the vid and try later,
hopefully within 24 hours.

So just wait in seiza position until your legs get numb. ;)

>>263 yeah I'm actually studying now!
but I will come here and make a post as often as I can because it helps me to motivate myself more! It's not fun studying alone

>>267 No problem, any time that suits you. You are very kind!

I can sit for half an hour in seiza. I am training!

>>269
Overview of the talk.

"My first 5 or 6 songs were not cheery, they were songs with dark tones. But they (people
behind her, like talent agency who try to sell her perhaps ?) seemed to thought
the tones of thsese songs hadn't had reflect her real character. So from then on, the tone of her songs
changed drastically to cheerful ones."

Asked if she still remembers choreographies of her songs, she replied, "I don't remember them much anymore.
Maybe I wasn't serious about choreographies.

4:33-5:35 She talked with the man (ken Hirai) about the song he covers in the music TV show.
----His cover song-----
Asked about how she wants to live her own life as a person or as a person in show business, she replied,
"I'm working really hard like everybody around my age. You know, the harder you work, the more
you are paid. When I was young, I didn't know at all on what I wanted to spend money I earned. Now I'm getting
older and if you go into, say, your forties, you begin to feel less confident about yourself (in terms of
physical attractiveness). So to complement the lost (physical) attractiveness, I buy a dress if it's my
kind of dress, without hesitation right on the spot.

The man said, "You have earned enough (to buy whatever you want since you were younger) in the first place."
She replied, "(Even if I have earned much as a successful artist, )I was less materialistic when I was younger.

Talking about her time after retirnment when she gets old, "I definately want to avoid dying alone." (Translator note: Dying alone in a house/apartment is
kind of a social problem here in Japan. In urban areas, especially, communications and ties with neighbors are weak so sometimes old people was found dead
alone in a house/apartment without being noticed for days, weeks or even monthes. That's the complete opposite of the death surround by family members.)

"Fortunately I have lots of unmarried friends so I plan to work really hard and save lots of money
and become rich so that I can buy the whole apartment units of one building. And I want to make sort of like a commune with
my unmarried friends."

Asked, "You already have enough money to do that," she replied, "Not really, I need to save
steadily one by one. I want to make a nursing home like that with young couple living on the first floor
of the building."

----------11:00------
I gave you the overview of 00:00 to around 11:00, nearly half of the video.
I need to sleep now. I'll do the rest when I have time tomorrow, no today already.
The time slider might not be so accurate by the way...

"with a young couple living on the first floor of the building to take care of the old people living in the nursing home, including Kyon2 ."
is what she meant. She wants the young coulple to work as a caregiver or somthing.
She is just half jokingly showing this retirenment plan. Maybe she's more serious than I think, though.

waaaa it's already 4 in the morning..

I don't think I could get up in 3 hours

Felicity Fey
Ariel Rebel
Little Caprice
Tiffany Star

They are my girls!

Morning. What's up?
a little tired today........
I have to do a kitchin work..........Washings are piled up.

following >>270-272

Asked about any ideas or plans about going out with a man and getting married again,
she replied, "I'm becoming to care less about such things. But I'm sure it was a good thing
that I experienced marriage in my life. Looking back, I was fortunate to be married with a nice person.
I think I have my ideal traditional image of a woman in my mind, which I want to fit the image if I can,
but as I have been working, I cant become such a woman. It's my problem but I end up being dissappointed with myself because
I can't be such a woman. In retrospect, I should have retired from show business after getting married (so that
I can be a good housewife)

The man said, "That whould have been sad news for your fans." She replied, "That's what my husband
said to me, too back then. (so I didn't leave showbusiness) He said you should continue to work (for fans)."
Then she told about how difficult it is to balance work and time spent with husband.

---------his song---------

17:20 The man said, "I heard that you spend your birthday alone every year. Is that right?"
Kyon2 replied, "Yes, that's true. Since I'm 20 years old or so, I spend my birthday alone.
Back then my agency asked me what I wanted for birthday and I told them
I wanted a day-off on my birthday. And actually I spent the birthday alone on the year.
I felt very comfortable, spending my birthday alone. I wondered why I felt comfortable.
The answer was, to me, birthday is, in essence, not something being celebrated by anybody in my opinion.
It's more of something you're grateful for on your own. So I made it a rule to be grateful for
my birth on my birthday every year. And on every birthday, I decide how I should spend the next 365 days from the
birthday. I don't buy a birthday cake. I don't make gorgeous dinner. I just read a book and spend the day in no special way."

(cont.)

Asked about if she has spent each and every birthday alone, she replied, "To be honest,
I have spent the day with boyfriend a few times."

------his song------

The man said, "My impression on you is that you seldom get angry and you are calm all the time."
She replied, "Yeah, maybe you're right. When I'm in a situation where one person could make me angry, I sort of analyze why
the person behaved like that and before going beyond anger limit, I usually concludes that the person wasn't ill-intentioned.

The man asked, "Have you ever gotten angry to the extent you shout to a person?"
She jokingly replied, "My mother Yumi, often gets on my nerves. She loves playing Pachinko (Japanese gamble, looks like a vertical
pinball machine) and when she was at my place, she took away some money of mine which were placed on the table to play Pachinko.
After I came back from work, I found the money is gone and I asked her where is the money. She goes 'huh? I spent the money on Pachinko." And
I was like 'huh?" and she said 'No problem. I'm sure I can get back the money if I go and play Pachinko again
the first thing in the morning.' I said to her, 'that was part of my hard-earned money. Do you understand how hard
I work?' She was like, 'Sorry, I'll never do that. I'm really sorry...'
But I know she'll do that again. She's a lovable person after all."

<End> I hope you'll enjoy it.

>>276
Hey ! I got only 4 hours of sleep, but I'm fine ! How was your day??

just finished eating supper, but not full yet..

my silly note pc doesnt work well , it took too much time to access new page .
it drives me so irritated .

>>279
Hi nishi. I envy you your youthfulness.
Today was holiday. But I was busy with housework.

the pension scheme is totally collapsed .
who could trust such a system ?

nishi is monmoth nishi from manga named "ashita-no-joe"?
if so , you must be tough guy .

I`m drench in sweatand feel hot now.. can you take me a icecream .

>>285
（*´∀｀）つ□　Here you are

But I got a stomachache this afternoon eating ice cream after a long time....

I have a question.
In hot spot, how can I say ”この場所は今とても危険です” in English?
It is translated "This place is very dangeorous now." in certain game.
But it sounds weird to me.

How do you guys think?

So? I think it's OK.

Big quake happened in Turkey.
It seems to be many people dead or missing.
I fear their safe.

How do you do?

I'm new resident! よろしく！

>>282 young!(◎_◎;) I'm jealous of high school kids because they have school uniform!
Good!Being busy is better than being bored! Keep working!XD
.

>>284
No~! I know the manga is about boxing and the main guy is called joe. But I haven't read the comic. Monmoth nishi sounds like a strong enemy !!


by the way I overslept and missed a class=_= I feel so bad.

>>291
Hello

>>292
haha. I guess each one will have each problem.

Theme song of "Ashitano-joe" is below.
I think this has an originality and Japanese style.

Which do you like better iPod or Walkman? and reason please.

>>296
I don't have iPod. My sister gave me Walkman so I'm using it now.
I read some reviews of Walkamn on Amazon. The Walkman users who posted
the reviews seemed to be very satisfied with the sound quality of Walkman.

I didn't know the sound quality of iPod is worse than Walkman.
If I could choose either of them, I would have chosed iPod.
That's because having iPod looks cooler than having Walkman.
The brand image of Apple and its products go beyond Walkman.
Walkman's reign in music industry is now replaced by Apple's products.

But as a Japanese, I want to suuport and root for Sony.

http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ2011102415658

You can marry with a Japanese monk.

>>297

Thank you for your receive.

I got 300. You guys are too slow.

>>296
Walkman, mainly because the sound quality is superior to that of the
iPod. As >>297 correctly mentions, the image associated with the iPod
goes beyond that of the Walkman, but I prefer performance over design.
Maybe because I work in marketing and am familiar with their methods.

Also, the iPod is manufactured in Chinese factories under appalling
conditions for the workers, with negligence causing the deaths of
workers due to poor machine maintenance. There have been scores of
suicides at the factories too (14 in 2010 alone), so now some of the
factories are equipped with suicide prevention netting, and a clause
to "not kill yourself" has been added to the contract.

>>301
I heard the shocking news for the first time.
I wonder what would happen if a worker violate the clause?
Their relatives or parents have to pay some money to the company that runs
the factory? Maybe salary of the month when he commit a suicide isn't
paid or something like that...

If not, such a clause doesn't make sense at all, does it?
Nobody can stop a person from commiting a suiside if they decided to
do that.

This video shows how difficult for average Japanese to pronounce r and l
sounds distinguishingly by using voice recognition service called Siri
equipped in iPhone4S.

By the way Siri means ass in Japanese. So the name of the service cause a
little bit of a fuss in Japan. Like the name of iPad resembles woman's
hygene products for period and made a fuss in US.

>>304
Where in Japan is it the fuss? In a particular thread of 2ch?
I've never heard of it.

>>304
I do not think the problem is the distinction of l and r. The issue is that the guy cannot pronounce vowels properly.

I have also tried Siri and found out that I have a difficulty in pronouncing "wood". Siri recognizes my wood as "worked or work"

And Momo-jiri means pink-sweet-ass.

>>302
I think the clause just states that the company will not accept
any legal liability for the suicide, which would prevent relatives
taking legal action.

>>304
To be fair, they state that only English, French and German is
supported in Siri right now, with support for Japanese (and some
other languages) coming into effect sometime next year.

Even though Google have had voice commands in Android for a while,
it doesn't offer the extent of control as Siri. However, Google's
voice recognition is excellent (as demonstrated in Google Translate
Mobile's conversation mode), and even recognises my poor attempts
at Japanese (most of the time).

Siri's co-founder left Apple yesterday, not sure if that has any
implications yet.

>>305
Maybe "Fuss" was not an appropriate word...
What word would be appropriate to describe the situation, I wonder?

The article I read is this: http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2011/10/05/seriously-apple-in-japan-siri-fans-bottom-jokes/?KEYWORDS=siri+japan

<Excerpts>
"The Japanese Twittersphere immediately took to calling the voice control app the three-letter word for derriere with some abandon.
The kanji character 尻 soon cropped up below Siri as a trending topic on Twitter here."

http://jp.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2011/10/06/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E3%83%AB%E3%80%81%E6%9C%AC%E6%B0%97%EF%BC%9F%E2%94%80%E3%80%8Csiri%E3%80%8D%E7%99%BA%E8%A1%A8%E3%81%A7%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8A%E5%B0%BB%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7/
(Japanese version)

>>306
Interesting!

everyone likes to talk about siri, it means I m loved by all .
thanks, thanks a lot .

I don't know whether my English is right or not...

>>311

me too...

>>308
Ah, that makes sense, regarding suicide prevention clause.

for those who are scared of writing in english , i keep posting in poor english.

What does "posting" mean?

>>308
Siri and google's voice recognition are both great although they still
have a long way to go. But the boice recoginiton technologies they have now bring us
better technology life even now.
It's good to know you tried it in Japanese.

>>315
It's post+ing. Post means （掲示板などに）投稿する、書きこむ in this context.

X boice
O voice

b and V are another tricky example for some Japanese English learners.

i would wanna say "writing"

>>316
thank you for explaing in behalf of me .

>>319
No problem.

What is "オードトワレ"?

>>304
Did a bit of reading on Siri just now, and it would be interesting to
see if it works better set to British English, since the Japanese
pronunciation of such words is more similar to the way we pronounce them.

>>314
Thank you for farting on behalf of my ass.

>>321
that is kansai-ben .

>>322
Are there American English setting and British English setting in Siri?

>>324
Noce joke.

>>325
It has settings for British English, Australian English, and American
English. I think the difference is just the ability to differentiate
between accents.

>>321
Though it translates literally to "toilet water" from French, it comes
from the verb 'toilet', which means something like 'to groom' or
'to dress'. It's a lightly scented perfume.

http://motto-jimidane.com/jlab-tv/3/s/152169.jpg

>>326
Oh, is that right. Even Australian accent. Thanks for the imput.
As you say, I'm curious about how Siri reacts when British people pronounce "work" as
shown in the video in American English setting.

I found an interesting travel serivice.
You don't have to worry even if you don't have friends in Japan.
This hands on face to face travel events makes your experience in Japan
interesting ten-folds.

>>329
That site is somewhat strange. There are quotes placed around words in a seemingly random fashion.

> Ask hosts about any questions "you have" through "our" onsite messaging system.
> "Submit a" booking request. Once confirmed "by host", you will be charged.

Pretty odd.

Could you recommend me a good movie made in 00s and 10s?
Since I watched lots of movies, please choose a minor one.
My favorite director is Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan.

And let me know if my English has a mistake.

>>332
Your English is good there. I'd only make very minor changes:
I -> I've / I have
director is -> directors are (since you've mentioned more than one)

It's difficult to make recommendations without knowing taste, but based
on the directors, you like movies with both action and story, and not
necessarily with a real-life background.

Anyway, I'd recommend Inland Empire, Zodiac, Children of Men, maybe
The New World (2006... there are so many with that name). I'd recommend
The Departed, but only because it's an English-language version of
Infernal Affairs, which Scorcese shamelessly stole. The original was
much better (but not in English). Hopefully you haven't seen those already.

>>332
Ridley Scott!
i like Alien 1 very much!
it send me chill my spine every time take a watch at still now.

I have a test today ＯＴＬ

Oh dear, never mind..

>>345
I know him for a while, just so you know.

Kotatsu is the best!!!

>>330
Come to think of it, you're right.
But serivice itself sounds intriguing, right?
I would use it if I were an alien visiting in Tokyo.

>>347
kotatsu is the most valuable tool ,not only you but also cat you have .
oh.. wish i lived with cat ..

>>347
This, this, a million times this! Oh man, am I so glad I bought a kotatsu. My cats love it too.
They're really rare in America though. Nobody knows what it is, and I had a hard time
explaining it to my boss.

Anyway, whoever it was that invented the kotatsu needs to have a holiday in his honor.
By my calculations, at the end of this winter, the kotatsu will have paid for itself
by the gas savings alone. (Natural gas for heating is very expensive here, and
the gas company wants to raise the rates again this winter...)

when I was at NITORI(big supermarket in JPN for those who buy convenience goods,furniture and so on..)
I saw a strange kotatsu set ,which were ordinary chairs and table coverd kotatsu-buton(futon).

i can no longer endure the DPJ(minshu)`s stupidity.
noda prime minister is just a cancer like bakakan for REAL japanese ...

>>341
いいえ〜

Why not?
How can you communicate with your mom&dad if you really don't speak it?
Body language?

>>270 >>271 >>277 >>278
Thank you thank you thank you! You made me very happy!
I love KyonKyon. She is such an awesome artist.
She is sooo different from a lot of artists.
I like her sense of humour and free thinking ways.

I was saddened to hear of her marriage wishes not coming true and
retirement plans in that interview. She talks too nicely of a man who
cheated on her. I used think not so favourably of Nagase MAsatoshi,
especially when I heard he left KyonKyon for a younger woman. But
tonight I watched Mainichi Okaasan, he is a very good actor. It is
really saddening to watch them sign divorce papers on screen. There
is such an element of reality in that scene.

But the film left with me such a warm feeling. It was so moving!
It was sad to hear she would be living alone in a commune of
unmarried friends. She sounds as if she is in her eighties!
She is still young!
I hope the man who loves her most can give her a good life
and she would not be unhappy or alone all the time.
Thanks again for your kind translation.

349 350
Yep kotatsu is definitely one of the best things Japanese have ever invented..>_<
Recently I don't sleep in my bed at night, but in kotatsu.

>>356
I'd say it's just she wasn't a type of a woman who could retire from show
business after getting married. Once you are on the spotlight and know the taste
of honey, it's difficult to become an ordinary citizen.

If she was really serious about quitting show business and had determination to dedicate
her all time to doing housework and child raring, she could have done that.
But that could have meant to give up all of the attentions drawn to her.
To become an ordinary citizen is hard once you have been in the spotlight.
The nature of attention whore never goes away.

>>359 Wow that is some cruel thinking. Maybe she couldn't do that, because
she could not have a child.

There is no point to staying at home, waiting for the husband,
if you don't have a baby, is there.

Anyway I feel sad talking about such things. I think KyonKyon
put her life into her work and fans appreciate it.

>>360
Are you not Japanese, aren't you?

If you are in Japan and feel sick,
do Japanese hospital staff understand English?

>>362
I don't think so.
But There might be some if you search.

>>362
Most unlikely but lists of hospitals where some of their staff understand English
is around on the Internet. Even not on the net if you go to city hall,
they give you such info.
If your city is relatively big, then there is a network of English speaking people, too.

If you end up living in rural areas, not much is expected.

Tomorrow, 28 is the end of the world. Oh really?
Is it a joke? If so, this is my last posting... Ah...

>>365
Who said that?
By the way, say hello to professor Kumiko Torikai.

no way

Look at him, your man.
His face is so dirty because of a long term battle.
But it's just good.
Just that is your armor of the faithfulness.

if the world will end tomorrow , black beetle wont die out.

Wow seems quite a lot of people are gathered in this thread

I think the end of the world isn't believed but hoped.

>>370
^^

I watch NHK World

>>371
Agree! But I don't hope the world ends

Hello, goodmorning. Today is said the end of the world. But if an apocalypse
doesn't come today, people who said this prediction in public must kill them-
selves.

People say it's the last day of the world everyday lol
Anyways have a lovely day you guys!

I don't have nothing left that I want to do. If the world ended I wouldn't care!! I'm fully prepared >_<

Which has the rumor spread from??
Why will the world end?

Anyway, lunch is Sapporo-ichiban needle of miso flavor.

No wayyyy I'm really happy with my girlfriend and will get married in a few months! World.. Please don't die :'(((

Btw I prefer soy source flavour <3

>>378
needle of miso soup?
oh.... it sounds very painful....

>>381
Not Japanese are you?

>>379
Congratulations!
May your life be happy forever.

>>381
haha. really? It's the common way we have noodle.
Miso is quite popular ingredient with Japanese as you know.
Maybe Nagoyanian and Sapporer angry with your posting.
Those are among the most popular districts.

>>382
I'm japanese.
I think, noodle is right, needle is mistake.
needle is "針" in japanese....

needle wwwwwwwwwwwww

ayyy ppl what u all think of this new iphone app called orzEnglish?!?!?!?
Do you think it will be well received in japan or NO?

>>390
Don't think so

>>391
What was that?

what can you do with the app? >> 390

Orzenglish is an app for building vocabularies with pictures which is created by American. I actually don't know much about it though

Maybe it's good for beginners:)

Sounds interesting. If it's all free, I will probably try using it.

Test . First time writting

>>396
Welcome!

>>361 >>362 No I am in England.

If you get ill, they have the NHS system here. Usually residents pay
nothing (comes out of the national insurance we have to pay) but
visiting foreigners need to pay I think. You can also go private.

Going back to KyonKyon being a housewife, there is a drama of a house
wife who wants to be a shadow of his husband. I understand it is a
different culture but want to know, do husbands really want their wives
to be like that in Japan?

I need advice on Japanese body language between men and women.

Is looking at someone in the eye for a prolonged time
considered flirting?

If a woman wants to take the first step what should she do and not do?
Do men think badly of women who take the lead?

Thank you.

>>398
I think that the problem is a little related to religion each people have.
Japanese have traditionally the belief of nature and ancestor, called "Shinto".
"Shinto" has a lot of deities.
One of deities is "Amaterasu-ohomikami".
This deity is the symbol of the sun and exists in the center of "Shinto".
And this is a woman. She isn't pushy.
I think this thing is related to national characteristics so much.

In japan, the running person of family or society is basically women.
What is needed is naturally shown to girls from childhood.
So Japan is often called a maternal society.
Those who have power is MOTHER in Japan.
You should think there is always mother beyond men.

Japanese men don't have power much as strong as English.
And Japanese ordinary women don't as pushy as English.
It's difficult to explain! Sorry for poor.

How many times do you guys usually masturbate in a day？

Heeeey I live in England as well! Which part are you from?

That was suuuperrrr real and scary
I just woke up from the worst nightmare ever. I really thank God that it was a dream.

mmm I don't think I can go back to sleep(~_~; let's get tabemono

I have a question.

There's a term "big guy" and my dictionay explains it like this.
"A term of endearment, usually addressed toward an all-around good male person."

Q1. He, who is addressed as "big guy" doesn't have to physically big, does it?
Q2. Is it the same as "Teddy bear"? A man described as "Teddy bear" has to be physicall big?
Q3. "Teddy bear" and "big guy" can be used interchangably? (although this question is already answered in Q1 and Q2)

Thank you.

>>407
I don't know about "big guy", but I've never heard "teddy bear" used to refer to a person before.

>>407
I've heard "Teddy Bear" used to describe a large man who is a pushover to women,
seen as cuddly like a teddy bear is. It's rare, and somewhat demeaning.

I've also heard "big guy" used to refer to bosses/CEOs/etc, and "the big guy upstairs" to refer to God.

Morning. What's up.

Today is the day. My favorite fighters comes face to face with Lions.
I'm gonna root with all my might.

>>402
Jerking off once a day makes me feel refreshed. I never regret doing anything good like that.
Because I’ve already had a wife, children, and a grand-child :)

I've got a lot to do in the rest of my life. So I have to keep me alive.

>>411
please refrain it instead of our sex ><

>>412
She doesn't like having sex. She only wanted to have our babies.

>>411
Where do you do it? Every time you take a bath?

I guess you are older around 60 years old but you still hace sexual drive?
You need to reduce sexual drive by jerking off?

It's time to sleep.. Already midnight hah. See you tomorrow

>>408-409
Thank you very much. It's always good to get replies from people who are immersed in
English.

Lonely Halloween !!!!!

I'd rather celebrate Obon.

I want to die...

English is very difficult.

Halloween〜　Halloween〜
You haven't come yet〜
Don't make my heart joke

Lonely tropical fish...........FURU!

>>414
I'm in my early fifties, however, younger than you imagine. You will know when you reach the same age of me.
Anyway, as you know, Japan's future depends on how much alive older people are.

nobody wouldn't to say "i'm older despite my age." i think.

I think if you master hiragana, it's enough to communicate.

>>431
Yeah I hope so. Hiragana is okay for me and some 漢字. Can't write though. Katakana is a bit hard it's confusing!

What do you say "手のひらサイズ" in English?

What brought you to Japan if I may ask?
Probably assistant English teacher?

I guess your parents back home were extremely worried about you because
of the nuclear crisis.
Did you evacuate to UK for a while after 3/11 like many expats in Japan did?

>>447
Oh no, I often come to Japan because of the business matter. Now I've been on holiday and staying in Tokyo for a fortnight. Of course my family was worried about me coming here after the earthquake but not now

>>447
And I really like Japan so I might take a chance to work here after the current contract expires:)

So everybody can continue working in their seventies.

Good morning
How r u today?

>>448
Is that right. You first wrote, "Hello I'm from UK and live in Tokyo."
"Hello I'm from UK and am visiting/staying Tokyo." sounds more like it to me,
although I'm an English learner and I may be wrong.

A British and bussiness reminds me of the ex Olympus president who
were just fired a week ago or so. This has lead to a big scandal involiving
dubious mergers, which even FBI and British authorities has started investigation.

If you are staying in Tokyo and Otaku, you can enjoy Akihabara to your heart's content.

>>448
Are you a native speaker of English?

"I often come to Japan because of the business matter" sounds strange.
"I often come to Japan for business matters" is more natural and sounds
less like an English learner. Shouldn't "I'm from UK" be "I'm from the
UK"?

>>455
I'm afraid to say but those sounded natural to me. I think he is a native speaker of English.

I am a king of English.

'Stay' makes more sense than 'live' but I wanted to say 'I live in Japan' because this isn't a business trip but a private one plus I've been staying in the guest house as if living here.
Also, I could say 'for business matters' but I chose 'because of business matters' with no reasons.

I'm half French half Japanese and studied at the international school then graduated from the University as an english nation but maybe I'm not because my English doesn't sound natural to you

In a sense I actually don't know which country I belong to

I guess I shouldn't have come here. I don't want you to argue but just wanted to enjoy 2chan like Japanese Otaku. I'll study Japanese then come back here someday. Sorry to confuse you. Wanted to be Japanese but failed hahaha

I'll go to Roppongi tonight. Maybe Akihabara next week. Bye everyone, よい一日を:)

Don't go out.
We all welcome you.

Have fun clubbing in Roppongi!!Get a lot of numbers from girls!!Don't forget protections!!

I won't stop him if he wants to be dad..//

Okay I give him a permission to do 中だし then. not to me but to 468 !

Are we member of a gay club?

No worries. There are no tadpoles swimming in his calpis.

Meaning King of 中田氏.

Mr. Nakada?

I was just curious and have no intention of accusing or anything.
Let's just have fun here. You can come back anytime you want to chat here.

hello everyone

hi there, how are you?

today in TOEIC test, I was claimed to be noisy.
I acknowledge that I tend to move a little when I concentrate on something.
and because of my bad posture, I tried to remedy it.
When listening section ended , people who was in front of and behind me changed their seat.
I felt sorry for it and changed my seat not to disturb people around me.
but after that , I can't concentrate on the test at all.
I've never experienced problem like this.....to be honest, I wanted to tell them lots of things...but I can't do anything.

Don't you know the past form of the auxiliary verb "can"?

could, of course I know. but expressing my feelings in English is very difficult.

I don't think so.
It's a careless mistake, judging from your English.
If you had paid more attention to your writing, you must have found the error easily.

Shut up. I'm beginner of English writing.
while the meaning is different , both 'can' and 'could' is ok I think.

Yes shut up lol

>>477
I sympathize with things you felt burden.
That is to say "gokuro-sama".

（´・ω・）っ旦~~ well, please tea

>>478
（´・ω・）っ旦~~　and for you

>>483
Thank you, sir.
You were kind enough to make tea for me.
When it comes to tea, my favorite is Genmaicha.

>>483
thank you for your kindness!
I'll try to calm me down...and improve my English skill.

You'd better improve your character.

Ｉ reply the same word to you.
You spoiled >>483's kindness.

Why did I spoil his kindness?
At least, I gave thanks to him long before you followed suit.

haha... it's the logic of children.
I wanted to end this quarrel at that time...
you restarted it although he gave us tea.

As adults have gone, children appear...

I'm sleepy but I'll buy some snack.

I've just been to a convenience store in the neighborhood to get some food.

What a bunch of dumbassesww

oh my god what is this website

>>494
What are you saying?

I dont even speak japanese I just found a like to this site and clicked on the english link

also, you guys speak a completely phonetic language. Everything should be in Hiragana or something, not Kanji. Someone should also make a language where you have to use different coloured pens to show what you mean.

Here's the difference meanings between children' "Trick or treat!", adults' "Trick or treat!".

C: "Trick or treat!" means that "if you don't give me some sweets, I will get into mischeif to you!"

A: "Trick or treat!" means that "if you don't have a sex with me, I will molest you!"

Gee, it's so fuckin' nonsense... Anyway, I hope you all will enjoy today.

I'm waiting for an Italian bar to open
10 more mins
Can't wait
So hungry

>>505
What are you gonna eat?

I had a pot of minced sardines"いわしのつみれ鍋"with Ponzu sauce.
The ingredients are chinese cabbage, leek, velvet shank, noodles made from konnyaku and tofu.
The soup stock is kelp.

I just left the bar

I had sparkling wine, ham and spinach pizza and shrimps and onions stewed with oil.

Very good:)

Anyway, I'm full;)

That's what she said

suddenly, I see, my ass is totally separated by God.

>511 Your ass is totally separated by God? What the fuck does that mean man?

>>512
Have no idea, just revelation from god.

>>513 There is no such thing as God, and if there was do you really think he would care about your ass?

had a curry rice for dinner . I didn`t use any curry-roux.
that was made up chiefly of flour,curry powder,chiken meat and eggplant.

>>514
to be honest , I am kinda God too.

Aha, so it was the curry that separated your ass, not God!

>>517
why did you know its secret ingredient? HAHA!!

>>516 well God, please explain your fascination with 513's ass. What about it do you find so interesting?

>>515
I envy you your skill.

>>519
We just put that aside for now, PLEASE LOOK AT THIS , WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>>521 Look at what? What is "this"?

>>507
I think cooking "いわしのつみれ鍋" needs more technique, (not kuso-miso technique).

>>520*

>>522
You know?

this is what i`ve been looking for !!

haha you're fucking crazy!!

hey i have a question.
"trick or treat" what does it mean? what situation can i use this word ?

>>530
It's what you say when you knock on someone's door on Halloween.
You expect to get either scared (a trick) or candy (a treat).
Almost nobody does the scaring anymore, and most people have forgotten about it.

Recently Halloween is forbidden in many communities due to religious or safety concerns.
It's a dying tradition.

We are who fulfilling life in real is!!!

>>531
thanks for explaining . hope you have a good halloween night !

thanks your help ,and there was none who knock my door...

>>534 People in your neighborhood must really hate you.

;(

Wanna have sex

Mine are g cup.

MY jiji next to me grabs and shakes his important part of his body , it seems be jii.

Today I was talked to by friend of a foreigner. It was sudden for me so I couldn't reply in English well.
I think my English skill is very short n there are a few opportunities to speak English from me in Japan. Very anxious.

to be tough!!
for that reason, you dont have to put on any clothes in speaking someone.

>>540 Don't worry. Next time a foreigner tries to speak to you, just say "fuck off dude". He will be so impressed by how native your English is he will run away!

You might be interested in this game if you love girls in Japanese anime.

>>498
I don't think "trick or treat" necessarily implies sex... at least not here.
If you say it to someone as an adult, such as at your office, people will think you are weird or something.
Unless it's a joke, then maybe you won't be as embarrassed.

>>497
Have you ever tried reading Japanese without Kanji? It's very difficult.

I'm a god of Eros

Completely forgotten about Halloween.. Felt sorry for children I didn't prepare sweets for them.. Pretended that I wasn't in

Forgot to delete the name in 名前欄. Sorry!

Is there native speaker?

I want to know why do you chat in English.
For your work?or it's your habit?

Sorry for my poor English...

>>565
Do you mean a native English speaker? If that's the case, yes, there are several native English-speakers that lurk/post in this thread (myself included).

I'm not sure I understand your question, though...

We have few opportunities to talk in English so, even we write in English for improving!

I`m here to show my ass.

>>568
I'm here to kick your ass.

I understand why your name is Open-Shiri.

Hi, I'm Mike.

I'm Carter. Nice to meet you

Let me write down what I learned yesterday to make sure i understand them all
go mad, go red, go grey, go blind, go deaf, go crazy, go bad, go bold etc..
Go is used for changes in people's personality, appearance, and physical abilities.
The pages of the book have gone yellow over the years. (slowly color change)
turn red, turn white,turn gold

everyday verb make and do and common phrases with them
make is bacically about producing something, do is about performing an action.
make an excuse, make an effort(to do), make a change(to), make an arrangement make an improvement (to)etc..
do harm, do my hair, do an experiment, do work etc..

>>578
Very good! Yes, you're right.

Nonsense to think about it

I didn't know he can speak such good English.
but he won't succeed in the US... I think.

Last night I had a dream that I played tennis doubles with Goto Saori, who was a voice actor, somehow with ping-pong paddles in our hands.

>>578
I learned good things from you.

do you know about chrstmas orange ?

>>584

I don't know!! what is it?

i heard some canadian eat unshu-mikan at christmas season.
that's why it's said like that.

When you say "single title" got added to Radio, what does that mean?
Radio station has started to play it on air or it got in hit chart of the radio station?

You can insert whatever single title name in "single title"

Thanks.

hello
I got fired half years ago.
So I've been studied hard these days.
I have never had a girl friend.

stay hungry, stay tulip.

>>602
You're in good company.

I've been studied hard these days.
I'm studying hard these days.

What is the difference between them?

>>602
if you keep defend your verginity , you will have magical power

keep defending* sorry for miss

>>596 you're welcome!

Time to go to bed! Good night everyone

>>605
I'm a native English speaker. While the first sentence, "I've been studied hard these days," is technically proper, it implies that you were being studied, like you were a scientific experiment or something.

If you were trying to tell someone you've been busy studying, the second sentence is the one you want to use.

(Should I make a tripcode to post here? I suppose it would be helpful if I'm offering advice, but I'm not a fan of using them...)

>>610
Thank you, but I asked a wrong question.
I wanted to know the difference between following them.

I've been studying hard these days.
I'm studying hard these days.

What exactly is wrong with socialism?

Morgen tag, alle

>>612
It depends on who you ask.
If you are lazy and feel the world owes you everything you desire, then there is nothing wrong with socialism.
If you are a hard worker and want to earn everything you desire, then you don't have enough time to think about socialism.
If you are a politician or banker and steal everything you desire, then there is everything wrong with socialism.

>>614
Thank you for your opinion.

I'm stressed.
Could you recommend something for a change?

>>616
First, put off your clothes

sorry,

>>616
first, take off your clothes

Then, get out of your house.

then,show us your ass.

Are everyone japanes?

No,there are some reliable native English speakers.

I think there are many reliable native Japanese speakers.

I am japanese!

>>621

Spelling error!

Some people in Japanese 2ch threads say that you shouldn't
point out spelling errors.

>>626
I sometimes do with an intention to make the person mad.
It's really effective.
That implies that if you like a thread, you shouldn't do it there.

instead of directly pointing out spelling errors,
they often post "no poor!" to the poster
and the original poster replies "god!" to thank them.

like this

　　　　 ∧＿∧

What corresponds to New Year's greeting card
in English-speaking countries?

do japanese good at english?

Yes, Jaopanese English good.

>>630
We usually send christmas cards instead, which say "...and a happy new year!" at the end.
So it's a christmas card and a new year's card at the same time.

I love Sylvester Stallone.

These days, I do radio taisou exercise in the morning and before going to bed.
I hope i will see the difference in my body soon :)

Did some anime make you do it?

Good morning. How about you.
It's quite cold.
I have some herb tea.

I don't want to go to school...



ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

cold? where do you live ?
its so hot so i am exposing tintin .

>>644
You must be arrested...

Is 644 exposing outside?

Scientists think the activity of the sun indicates something trouble itself.

Thus it's hot for us regardless in November.

ohayou

You just woke up?
Why are you so late?
I guess you worked over night yesterday.

>>644
I'm in Yamanashi Prefecture. Here is 900m above sea level.
Nowadays quite cold early in the morning.
But today, it is pretty warm during the day.

You should put tintin back as it's getting cool soon.

No.I deny your suggestion.
I'd like to remain it shown as it's cool.

>>651
Remain it shown throughout your life.

Thanx.
Would you like to join with me?

I'm glad if you performed it together.

Common!Quick!

I now have I got 4 Brassieres ^^

and striped panties ^^

>>654
can i eat them with soy source?

why do you wear undies in spite of being male?
Are you a diva?

*sauce
oops

>>655
Are you gonna eat his underwear?
I guess you're a goat.

>>656
he doesn't wear them as women do.
he puts them on his head or maybe just enjoys smelling them.

>>659
Really? It's so cool!

I'll try it like him with my sister's one!

>>660
Is your sister cute?
Give me some of your sister's panties.

i admire your honesty.
hell, i like you.
you can come over to my house and fuck my sister.

"My little sister couldn't be this pretty."
do you know this anime.

I won`t be able to understand that situation forever since i don`t have any sisters ..
oh , i wanna peropero

if it is fine tomorrow,let's go library!!

By the way,
Do you know what does TPP stand for?

And what do you think about it?

I don't know about TPP very well.

it stands for Tinco Pocochin porkbits.

today is so warm still midnight now.
so i keep expose tintin.

rubbing your chinchin makes you more hoter
just keep doing !

internet here is terrible, isn't it?

Hey,idiots.
Why do you guys focus only your dick?

Filth.

dick is a sacred symbol in japan which is honored like mikoshi.

I think the name of "dick" seems to be something scared and wild.
But the name of "tintin" seems to be so pretty and cute.
Maybe women in the world would think it someting like sweets.

I suggest we spell it "timtim" or "timetime".
Sounds far better and sweeter.

do you know chinko-matsuri? You would be stupefied by the amazing matsuri.

>>672
let me add these words on, pocochimu, chimu chimu.

>>670
This is a place where we can be idiots to our heart's content.
I think it's one of ways to release stress for hard workers.

how old are you people?

>>675
much older than you think.
how bout you?

I am ossan.

I am 26 years old.
Am I younger or older than the average in this thread?

>>678
I'm nineteen, but I mostly lurk here.

I hope it'll be sunny.

>>684

>>675

Some people want to be naked and to run the streets.
They never get arrested...because they are kids.

>>684
Zenra is a Japanese popular lifestyle based on the spirit of 'Zen' .

It's famous.

>>690
Don't tell a lie to innocent people.

Zenra is AWESOME!!

why required to get naked?

>>691
Who's innocent?
She seems like a bitch girl because those who are innocent don't browse such a tinco exposed message board,right?

"a tinco exposed message board" sounds nice

U^ｴ^U meao

I believe substantial decent ladies lurk in this chinko thread.

So many fresh chinko is in here.

That's enough about chinko!

Does anyone suggest another fine topic?

Manko?

Excuse me?
I've lost my tinco for a long time.
If you find it somewhere,please call me.
Thanks.

>>701
Your tinco has been eaten by me.
Very sorry....

shit!whose is this chinko?
It stink fuckin awful smell!


zzz... I cant speak correct English lol

I've found you 阿部定 accidentally. How much do you love him!?

>>703
I think, you should said "stinks" rather than "stink".
Because "it" is the third person singlar.

Abutei? What's that?

I've found so many foreigners lurking here. Every Japanese knows Abe-sada.

>>705
oh, thats right...

>>705
Then you need to say 'you should have said'

Everyone makes mistakes. Never mind!

But nobody misspells Manko. It's so impressive and important word.
You cannot survive without keeping it mind.

so much for small talk ,then get down to business !
...but this thread needs more ochin-chin talk!!

chinko talk is too much, no more need.
I would love Moe talks.

moe...

what kind of moe-talk are what you want ?

i`m not good at those topics .

tinko means moe

no need any chinko talks.
though manko and girl's anal talks are good subject.

do the foreign guys know "ika-musume"

In the official English subtitles by Crunchyroll, they make puns out of squid related words.

'Invasion (侵略)' becomes 'Inkvasion' (Ink meaning イカ墨)
'Quickly' becomes 'Squidly'

It sounds a bit strange, but there's nothing else they could do really. There's a lot of arguments amongst English speaking anime fans as to whether the puns are good or not.

I would call "Chin-vation(珍略)" for a horny one.

Sorry. I meant Chin-vasion.

Thank you for encouraging me. But I wasn't able to pass it. Sorry.

>>745
If you are a foreigner, l forgive your rudeness.
If you are Japanese, we call you chin-kasu.

>>747
sorry. i dont know whay you saying.
please use more clearly and easy expression.
please mr. shit

>>746
I'm sorry to hear that.
I bet your hardworking will pay off one day.

>>748
Sorry, but, chin-kasu is the most clearly and easy expression in Japanese.

hold on second.

its a same mean "take a few second"
or"take a minute"
right?

Next week monday is practice test!

hey guys.
please answer >>751 question if you know mature english.

>>751
"Hold on a second" means you are telling someone to wait.
It doesn't literally mean one second, just some short amount of time.
Typically you are telling them to wait for you to say/do something.

If you are on the phone, is "just a moment" right expression?

>>746
I couldn't believe you failed to pass the test. Judging from your posts
in this thread, I thought your English was good enough to pass it.

I saw the breakdown of your score.
All you have to do is improving your listening skill to pass pre-1 grade, right?
You are almost there. Just by improving the score of the listening section,
you'll pass the test. Keep up the good work.

>>756
Make your tedious sentence short in three lines.

What must I do to build up my speaking skill?

What is chinko skill?

you should understand by your chinko.

in other words, tinglish

You should squat there back to front.

Why does everyone become lively talking about chinko.

Tell me.

I do not want to be an XY

i'm not either. i don't care such a category. i like hug and pillow talks "まったり".

>>772
Thanks for the details.
Hmm..what a disaster!!

What does XY mean?

>>776
disaster.. oh..

>>777
XY is the combination of chromosome.
This combination determines sexuality.
XY means male.

I perfer the 1st one.....

suck my dick

im learning german. German is a lot harder than English.
Lots of things to memorize. Verbs are very complex.

Have you ever been to Germany?

>>784
No, but I plan to go to Berlin next year.
So, Im studying hard now!

Im learning German in English which I think is a lot easier than learning in Japanese.

>>784
Ich funvalto del unco.

>>786
Aho www

784 I only understand the last word

>>784
I've been to Munich and Berlin:)

>>785
I'm studying German in English too. It's much easier!

>>781
(ﾟДﾟ;) I've viewed both of those images recently, before you posted them...

>>754
ok dude.
i can understood when use "hold on a ~"
however. i dont know a few express.

1wait a minute.
2hold on.
3hold on second.

tell me different between these words.
1=60sec
2=a few sec
3=about 10sec

its like that?

>>790
why do you learn 2language in same time?
i cant learn 1 language too.
i wanna use furuent english soon.
please tell me speedy faster learn point.

>>792
Native English speaker here. All three generally imply the same thing. Usually when you ask someone to wait for such a small amount of time, they will understand you don't expect them to take it literally.

Saying any of the above could accurately mean, "Please wait/hold on for a little while."

>>794
hey sucker.
ur eng is so difficult. please more easy words and short sentence.
u are old man?

>>794
sorry. i use web trancelate service.
i can understood what you means.
u are real men. really cock sucker. thanks

>>795-796

Sorry, I should have been more considerate.

Simplified:

All three pretty much mean the same thing. If you tell someone to wait for such a small amount of time, they will understand you don't mean it literally.

All three sentences you listed could mean, "Please wait/hold on for a little while."

>>797
You don't have to apologize to a person who have bad mouth.

>>798
Good point. Still, I used difficult language. It wasn't considerate to other people on the board who may have wanted to ask that question, too.

I hate water.
I cant swim asshole.

>>793
I'm only studying German. I live in England and don't study English that hard at the moment. There're only German classes for English speakers here and that's why I have to study any languages in English. German grammar is similar to English.

I suppose leaning German in English is easier than using Japanese.

>>799
OK, you are really generous.
I'd call you Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa all combined person.

>>799
u r saints sucker?
i apporojize u.
i wanna work under u.
u my boss.
thanks.
u from usa?

nice/glad to see/meet u. its same things?

>>801
are you japanese?

>>802,803
Thank you, that's very kind!

>>803
"Nice/glad to see you" would be said if you see someone you have already met before.
"Nice/glad to meet you" would be said the first time you meet someone.

Nice, glad, or good could all be used correctly, the sentence would mean the same thing.

An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman are caught in Saudi Arabia
drinking. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes before
deportation,” said the prison guard, “You are entitled to something
on your back, what would you like?"
The English man asked for a Burberry coat. After the lashing, he was
taken in agony to the airport.
Next came the Scotsman. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30
lashes before deportation,” said the prison guard, “You are entitled to
something on your back, what would you like?"
"Nothing" said the Scotsman and, after receiving his lashes, he spat on
the ground in disdain and was taken to the airport.
The guards then came to the Irishman. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced
to 30 lashes before deportation,” said the prison guard, “You are entitled
to something on your back, what would you like?"
"Oh", replied the Irishman, "I'll take the Scotsman."

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were marooned on a dessert
island. One day an old lantern washed up on the beach, and the Englishman
picked it up and wiped off the dirt. As he did so, a genie suddenly appeared
and vowed to grant them each one wish. The Englishman thought for a moment
and then said, “I wish I was back in my garden at home sipping a gin and tonic.”
The genie said, “Your wish is my command,” and the Englishman disappeared
in a flash of smoke.
The Scotsman thought for a moment and said, “I wish I was sitting in my
favorite pub in Edinburgh drinking a large whisky.” The genie said, “Your
wish is my command,” and the Scotsman disappeared in a flash of smoke.
The Irishman looked around for a short while, and then said, “It’s lonely
here alone. I wish the other two were here.”

Haha

I'm scared to see your site inside.

Does it make any sense to non-Japanese that you drink milk to get your breasts more bigger?

Would you like to say American often drink milk to make their breasts expand?

that is not a weird thing because we japanese also sucks our chinko to make it bigger.

>>813
I drank a lot of milk growing up and my breasts expanded.
I'm not a female, though.

Would you like to say an Asian girl who imitates American woman looks ugly to Japanese?

Today was so hot considering in November now.

I think some Japanese girls in their teens imitate primitive people......

uups. I'm ok?

ladys eyes gone white and dropping tear.

and more. ladys into crazy because she used drug and alchol. she so into high. and screeming. pissing.

you know them movie?

>>810
Agree with you but beginners tend to use shortened words because they think it's cool. I used to use a lot a few years a go.. So embarrassing!

I wonder I should eat something or not...
I feel a little hungry, but it is certain that I will gain weight if I do it.

>>832
drink a glass of water and go to bed

>>833
Smart idea! I will do so.

>>831
your opinion is a

i wanna get u.
right?
do you think wanna?
you think we most to use "want to"?

"Chinese skipper arrested off Nagasaki"

do you know this NEWS? always China aim at Japan territory.
How come there are so many kichigai-kokka around japan?

call stallone and the expendables will destroy them.

damn, i don't feel like doing anything productive today.
but i got to start working on a project due tomorrow morning.
(i am in central timezone in the US, so i got a plenty of time in some sense.)

Are u a student or business person there?

>>835
Ah.. not really. Lots of beginners write 'u r awesome.' as 'You are awesome.' What do you call those in English? Not shortened words?

I often use 'wanna' so I can't say anything about it hehe

>>839
i'm a student here.

i finally managed to come to a library a moment ago.
a big progress.

>>841
What are you studying?

I went to UCLA undergrad with math major. I lived in a library there:)

Anyway, have fun...

>>841, >>842
How is(was) universities in the US? I'm a student in The UK and never been to America so I'm interested in the life there:D Someday I wanna visit there

Students at top US schools have no life.

There are lots of opportunities in the US.

>>847
I think it depends (on time and case).
Now might be just the time of ridiculous talking.
It would change.

>>836
I watched that news on TV this morning.
Is China actually planning to declare war against Japan in future?

I'd like to have your opinion.

>>848
Hope so.. I just wanted to know how American life is
Maybe coming back later hah

>>849
*in the future

In future is also correct.

>>852
Really?
My dictionary didn't show it.
But thanks.

>>846
You put huge amount of grass.
It's too much.

Make sure you mow them all.

>>853
Oh sorry maybe you are right to correct >>849 because it seems 'in the future' should be used in >>859's message.

'In future' means 'from now on'
'In the future' means 'at some time to come'

>>855
I got it.

Double sorry that I missanchored orz

Is the sentence 854 wrote correct?

Is 'Double sorry' slang?
I've never seen it before.

>>859
I actually don't know. My friend used it before and I sometimes mimic :P she's English so maybe it's correct.. Might be a slung?

>>860
I just found it in google.
I guess it's a slang.
Thanks.

Tuesday noon is depressing. I feel utterly lonely this time of the week.

Feeling lonely...it's a proof tha you are muman being.
The lyric of Jupitar says that loneliness is for learning what love is.

So is anyone, and so am I.

>>862
I do not click such a weird address carelessly.
Because they often have a computer virus.

>>847
wwww

I never had a boy friend or a girl friend.........

ever................

I don't think so.
Serious discussions need a certain level of English fluency.
Most of us are its learners who are on the way to such a level, so strictly speaking, we don't have what it takes to
talk about serious things.

>>869
＞we don't have what it takes to
＞talk about serious things.

It's a little difficult for me.
Would you say that more simply?

Yeah human being is a lonely creature..

But Now that the lunch time is over, I'm feeling better!! Every Tuesday I have lunch alone because of the class schedule.
It's really weird that when I'm with someone or in a group of people, I feel kind of tired , but when I'm alone, I start feeling lonely.

>>870
i guess what the guy meant was our beginner's english does not serve well
enough to discuss such serious, complicated stuff.

and i absolutely disagree with this guy.
writing english is the only way to learn how to learn english.
so we got to write.

but there is one thing we have to keep in mind.
that is, if we want to write about something in english,
we need to read english books/articles about the subject.
as english is our second language, obtaining knowledge through english is ineffective,
and sometimes frustrating. but there is no way around.

>>872
I just understand what he want to say.

Your opinion brings me to the point which we are lack of skills and knowledge for English.

Thanks.

You utterly misunderstood the point of my argument and turned everything in your own favor.
I din't talk about the learning method of English at all.

>>873
I think that English textbooks are far more sophisticated than Japanese ones.
One of the advantages by learning English is to get able to make use of the information written in English.

>>876
＞One of the advantages by learning English is to get able to make use of the information written in English.

What does that mean?

When do non-Japanese get a nosebleed?

>>877
If you get able to use English, all of the texts written in English are available.

>>879
Get able to means become able to,doesn't it?

>>880
Yes. Is it grammatically wrong?

>>881
I'm not sure.
But I couldn't see it in my dictionary.

*It doesn't appear on my dictionary.

Argh I badly need more people skills.. I hate myself T_T

??

You say you hate yourself.
So, to what extent do you hate yourself?

all the way

Please don't tell a lie.
If you hated yourself to such an extent, you must have killed yourself.

>>888
I do hate myself but not so much that I could kill myself lol

Maybe hate is a little bit too strong..Let's say sometimes I really don't like myself

>>890
I hate you but you have to love me.

>>891
not fair =__= Love me~~~!!♡

I love myself the most in the world.

I lovey myself and my girlfriend. The life is brilliant!

It has gotten very cold, but I don't have any warming machine. This winter will be hard for me.

Do you guys have a novel written in English that you strongly recommend to me?
I have finished some Sidney Sheldon's works, and want to step up.
Just so you know, The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald was a little too difficult for me.

>>895
You could always get a heavy blanket and wrap it around yourself.

>>896
How about KAZUO ISHIGURO?
He is a Japanese-English.
I think "A pale view of hills" is not so difficult.

>>898
Thanks, buddy!
I 'll check it out at once.

>>899
Could you teach me the difference between
"check it out" and "check it"?

>>900
I think "check O out" is used especially when you examine something attractive or interesting.
I wonder if "check O " is used only to examine something to see if it's correct or safe.
I'm sorry that I might not be good at teaching.

Oh.. Hope you'll have a lovely girl soon

>>906
who?

Never mind

>>901
It comes from library usage.
When you take a book from a library, it's "checked out"
When you bring the book back again, it's "checked in"
This is also used in other situations when an object is loaned out, like company cars at work.

"Check in" and "check out" are also used for hotels. When you arrive, you check in to get a room.
When you leave, you check out so they know the room is free again.

When you are supposed to see someone before you can do something else, that can be a "check in" as well.
For example, when a non-student is visiting a school, he must visit the office to get a pass before being allowed
to do anything else. The signs say "Visitors must check in with the office for a pass!"

There's yet another usage in military and aviation - "check out" can be used to mean a test.
For example, if I want to rent an airplane, I have to take a short test in the airplane to demonstrate my ability to fly.
This is called a "check out". For example, "I need a check out in a Cessna single." - "This guy wants checked out in a 172."

See how messy just two words can be?
English is a freaking train wreck. I don't understand how anyone thinks this is a sensible system.
But like they say, you to go to war with the army you have, not the army you want...

Every Christmas songs makes me sentimental
Hey! santa I hope you were cute girl and knock the door of my home in sexy costume on 12/24!!

As you guys may already know, Otsuka-san, a newsreader at fuji television, got Acute leukemia, and has left Fuji.

Do you guys think that the nuclear from Fukushima caused it?

He was in fukushima on 3/15.
He had made performance of eating Fukushima-produce shitake and other food over 10 times.

And he lived in a city in Chiba, which is a very high radioactive area.

WEAR A SKIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm crazy about Kazumin.
She is a member of the NOGIZAKA46 which is the rival of the AKB48 .
and, her real name is Kazumi Takayama.
What a very very very very very cuuuuuute girl!!!
I have never see more beautiful girl than her.

You should be to her fan. I recommend it.

How much money have you spent for her so far?

>>914
No way, radiation doesn't work THAT fast, except in absolutely absurd doses.

I've wondered why the thread of his topic in 2ch appears again and again.

That makes sense for me.

>>917
I got interested in what she is like and googled it.
Well, I'll give you a proverb which you should know.
" There's no accounting for taste."

Yeah,I agree.
She's unattractive for me too.
Actually,I prefer Matsuko.D to her.

>>917
Please spend your money on your girlfriend not idols.

I have searched for NOGIZAKA 46 too.
Rina Ikoma is so cute, isn't she?

>>922
I'm certain that you like fat women. But Matsuko is actually male.

>>925
I don't think so.
It's an irony. >>922 took Matsuko D for an typical example of unattractiveness in order to
explain how unattractive Kazumin is

>>909
I'm not the person who asked the question but I thank you for the
detailed explanation. It's very informative and interesting to read!

Everyone gets it wrong.
Matsuko,It's a monster.
There also exists same kind of creature named'Big-mangrove' .

But shemale is really popular in Japan.
Why does Japanese like that kind of people?

>>929
I can't stand those shemale monsters talking on TV as if they were stars.

I think it's better to order hot drinks if you stay in staba for a long time. A container for hot drinks have a cover, so they can't see how much your drink is left..that way you don't feel guilty after you finish off your coffee..

Do you guys usually use English offline?

Yes

Of course

Not at all

>>936
"I'm" = "I am"
"I've" = "I have"

"I am playing tennis for 3 years" is present tense, as if it is something you are doing right now.
This is clearly impossible.

"I have been playing tennis for 3 years" is past tense.
This is what you are actually trying to say.

I need an opportunity to speak English but it's kind of hard to find out.
I can read, wright down, and listen to English through the internet but there's no chance to speak out.
The best idea I guess is to make foreign friends or something but I have no idea how to do that.
Do you guys have any idea? Help me out.

should go to fillipine pub !

You'd better to find the English cafe.
I searched it and found there are English cafes around us, unexpectedly.

So, there are some cafes or pubs that foreign people are around. That makes sence.
Ok I will find them out somehow.
Thank you guys I really appreciate your help!

>>965
Thank you for teaching me

例えば"I'm playing guitar for * years"でフレーズ検索するとめちゃめちゃヒットするけど
これ全部文法的に間違った使い方？

>>936
"I'm playing tennis for 3 years" means you are playing tennis since 3 years ago to right now without a break and not finish yet.
In Japanese, "私は3年間テニスを(休みなく)プレイし続けている"
If you would like to say "私は3年間テニスを（習慣的に）している(今も続けている)".
Then you should say "I play tennis for 3 years".

"I've been playing tennis for 3 years" means you are playing tennis for 3 years, but you finished it already.
In Japanese, "私は3年間テニスを（休みなく）プレイし続けていた（今はしていない）"
If you would like to say "私は3年間テニスを（習慣的に）していた（今はしていない）".
Then you should say "I (have played tennis for 3 years" or "I (used to/would) play tennis for 3 years".

>>970
"Thank you for teaching me" sounds weird to me.
I think "Thank you for your advice" is right.

I'm learning English in English. I never think English in Japanese.
Those languages are way too different, and Japanese is very vague.

>>971
Thank you for your advice

Check out amazon.com not amazon.co.jp and find some English textbooks that best fit you.

You can speak English on Skype. And there are the lectures talking with English-speaking persons on Skype. If you get interested in it, you can google it.

How should I study to enjoy baseball game live in English?

>>941
A little close!
Actually it was my boyfriend.

This thread is also useful.
http://kamome.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1319613262/

>>970
You'll laugh at me for saying this, but I can't read Japanese.
That's why I only read and post in this thread.

("What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.
And what do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.
What about someone who speaks only one language? Oh, that's an American.")

>>976
Well, you've seen baseball in Japanese, right?
You could just watch the game. You know how the game is played, so just pick out the words you recognize.
When you see something happen you know the Japanese word for, and you hear an English word you don't know,
chances are good that the English word means the same thing as the Japanese.
This won't help you follow the commentary though.

I just came back home from the college library. Need to write 3000words by next Monday. Annoying:(

>>979
Nobody will laugh at you! We would rather pay respect to you because this thread is Chat in English and we are learning your own language.

This thread is almost at ending .
this thread has almost ended .

both of them are correct in grammer ?

>>982
The word "ending" needs a subject, so you want "This thread is almost at its ending."
The second one is fine. You did misspell "grammar" though.

>>983
thank you for your advice. needless to say my grammar is bad always.
then I want to talk to glamourous lady.

Read out ten times - Bess's pet pestered Fess.

My life cycle is totally reversed.
I fall into sleep after 5am or even later and get up around noon. I wanna fix my cycle.

What should I do ?
I should not sleep today and keep awake until the midnight ?

>>986
Mine too.. I need to get up tomorrow morning so I'm going to bed a bit early tonight..

>>987
oh, my brother
lets stay awake today. and fix it.

sleepy sleepy...
I don't know why I can't fall asleep.
It's cold and long night.

Who's still awake?

Here!

>>986
That's not a good idea. It will affect your concentration and attention. Go to bed now and wake up before 10 in the morning. Don't take a nap during the daytime. Then you will feel super tired and sleepy at night and can go to sleep !

Hi my friend.
It's so late...or so early. haha
Will you have class or work today?

Higashi-san
Thanks for the advice. Okay, I will follow your idea...
I will set my clock alarm at 10 am. When i get up at 10, i will go out right away so i wont take a nap.

>>992
hey, i dont have either today.

It's evening here. You guys would better go to bed or you'll oversleep. I'm going to sleep early tonight.

Oh it's good for you.

I have classes and two important exams today.
Altough I should have had more than 6 hrs sleep, maybe I'll get at best 3 hrs to sleep from now.

I'm so tired from being awake and I tried to sleep thousands of times...
But I still can't.

I was getting ready to sleeeeep
I'm happy that you guys are still up this late/early!
>>992 Yep! I have class at 11. But I'm going to skip it..
>>993
Your welcome! I hope you can fix your sleep pattern!! ^____^

Yeah it's good but I'm writing an essay now.. I know I should've started earlier but I always leave things to the last minute hah.. Let's gambarou :D good luck!

Good luck with your exams!!
Maybe your feeling a bit nervous and it keeps you from sleeping. Don't worry, you can get as much as 3 hours of sleep !!
