can't be displayed - it comes up as goop.
Does anyone know how to remedy this?
Thanks
It works for me. Make sure your encoding is set to Shift-JIS and not EUC.
im learning german in school any tips to remember what things mean. i am also trying to learn japanese by my self any studying tips. please help me. :jumpie:
hey everyone. im new here and i was wondering if anyone was actually from Japan. im learning it in school and it would be a great help if i actually new someone from Japan. And if anyone has even been to Japan can you tell me a bit about it. There's a school trip next year to Japan and i wanna go. If anyone could give me some extra info please do.
I am not sure if I posted this before, but here goes. Here is my MegaList of Japanese Language resources for beginners to advanced (from an primarily EFL(English as a First Language)-speaker perspective, though one of the dictionaries offers Japanese-French translation as well). Fluent Japanese speakers might find the kanji site helpful--as the Kanji sites are mainly Japanese Only. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There's a great site...I'm not sure how much it costs a month now, but it's http://www.yesjapan.com . I think as far as not having the class room experience, it's the way to go if your serious about self-study in Japanese.

Just a note for those who are just starting out on learning the language....
This should by no means be an avenue of learning Japanese.
Learning "proper" Japanese should be priority before attemping to learn and mimic such type of speech.

Not only should it be no means of an avenue of learning Japanese because of its vulgar nature, there are many mistakes in the explanations (saying this and that are Kansai-ben, when it's really just regular Japanese, etc.), and there are many mistakes in transcriptions of the audio passages. The author understands much about Japanese, but this should have been proofread or something.
Kokuou's Final Verdict:
This should only be used (if at all) by advanced learners of Japanese who are able to pick out the mistakes.
hello, I am self studying Japanese, anyone can recommand a good text book that's in English & in Hiragana if there's one out there?
I've learned to read Hiragana & Katakana and I can read but can't pronounce Kanji, the books I use are in English and I found my writing in Japanese is often wrong such as forgetting the long vowels or double consonants, I think reading the lessons in Japanese will help improve that.

Did you read the whole lesson? :beaten: Wow.
I just breezed through it. :sweat: That's not saying much since I have an attention span as a bug. :hehe:
