I am always very interested with Japanese stuff, I heard that Japanese is one of the world hardest language to be learn...

Really? I thought it would be the easiest out of the Asian languages (along with Korean) because it has a set alphabet and was assigned Roman letters after the war. Phonetically it's very similar to Korean. One of my text books says that it takes an average English speaker 2-3 years to become fluent in Japanese while it takes an average Japanese speaker 5-10 years to become fluent in English. I guess that's why Tsuyoshi mastered Korean so quickly while Shingo is still struggling with English.

Hmm, I always figured Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.) would be the hardest to learn.

Something's definately wrong. I notice there are some posts that aren't showing up right away. Sometimes I'll go back a page or two and a new post will appear when it wasn't there originally.

2-3 years to become fluent in Japanes is quite fast ne..but for my case I think I gotta take 5 years...cos I am abit blur and baka type...

I got the textbook for my Japanese lesson yesterday and when I open to read what's inside, I nearly fainted...seems very hard and difficult...


I'm not a Cantonese but I can understand when people speak Cantonese...

LOL... U r really a night owl, Nagisa... :rofl: :rofl:

I knew that his MIJ uchiwa are really nice but I didn't manage to get 1...I wanted Goro and Takuya's MIJ uchiwas...

I don't have the MIJ uchiwa either. Did you like Goro with brown hair?

This is the my favorite Goro uchiwa and probably one of my favorite pics:

hmm...ok I'm going to ask something not regarding to SMAP.


Do anyone here know the recipe for Omurice? I wanted the recipe badly...I'm in love with this dish now.

I'm not a Cantonese but I can understand when people speak Cantonese...

If you become fluent in Japanese would that be your 3rd or 4th language?

I'm so bad with languages. I took French in high school and I just couldn't grasp it because the grammatical differences between that and English were just too different. Haha, I'm not a language person. I used to be a Math person. I guess now I'm a SMAP person :rofl:

Is it?? But I think I cant buy it now,, coz itz near CNY,, have to wait till my bonus is out first.. And I just order some CDs from CD Japan... :sweat:

If I become fluent in Japanese that would be my 4th language...I am a Hainanese but I can't speak at all and can't understand when my aunties or uncles speak...


But I think for me to become fluent in Japanese, it's gotta take very long time....

I think there are variations because my mom and step-mom's omurice tasted very different.

The rice part is minced beef, yellow onion, ketchup, and of course rice.
I think the egg part was just egg but you can change the flavor with ajinomoto (MSG), salt, and sugar.

I think you can fool around with these ingredients to suit your tastes.

I love Math, too... When it comes to Math class last time, I'm alwayz very genki,,, haha..

Reading japanese is not that hard for me,, as I'm interested in all kinda languages.. :hehe: But I've problem with understanding it.. Those ppl just speak too fast... :nut:

Yeah, too much. About 600-800 yen for the uchiwa plus $7.50 broker fees and triple shipping. I really can't help it...I have a SMAP/Goro addiction.

They have another one at Yahoo Japan right now. Maybe you can get your friend to help you buy it.

Nagisa, is the sxs new yr special that long???
I'm now watching the PieLot.. Haha~~ I love that skit.. :mrgreen:
