How Do You Write ____ In Japanese?

eh.... was just wondering, how did you guys type the japanese characters in your posts???

I heard most schools in japan need the student to have at least a jlpt level 2 cert to gain admission into any courses...

I also interested in going to japan... but i can see its not an easy task... need to be proficient in the language... need lots of money... etc etc

Anyone knows of any schoolarship programmes? That subsidises or pay for your sch fees...

i did check about it.. realised actually there is something called college preparatory course that allows you to learn enough japanese to get into a japanese university.. provides dorms too.. but not sure what is the requirement to get in.. either o lvl or a lvl.. the course is set by the japan ministry of education and after completeing the course you will be eligible for japanese university..

i'm sure this sort of course takes long time to complete...
:sweat:
n i heard that education standard in japan is pretty high...
that definitely wont be a suitable place for me..
:crazy:

I always use online dictionaries.. think its easier to search for what you are looking for. Thats why you have that option above in the search box. :hehe:

himitsu, you might want to try downloading JWPce. It's a freeware and its sure did help me a lot..

Does anyone know how to say it in Japanese??

if you do, please let me know!!!
I'm so curious about this right now:p

hey mayumi.. your chinese name is pronounced as [li kai ling] if you know hanyu pinyin it would be better.. do you?

yeah in chinese it's pronounced li kai ling, but is that how you say it in Japanese too?!

‹±Žq[“c‚í‚©‚í‚¢‚¢‚Å‚·‚Ë? <-- is that right?

Y-Not wrote:‹±Žq[“c‚í‚©‚í‚¢‚¢‚Å‚·‚Ë? <-- is that right?

think there's a small typo...

‹±Žq[“c‚Í‚©‚í‚¢‚¢‚Å‚·‚ˁBBBB

‚Í is pronounced as WA when using it in sentences....

I was going to ask if anyone knows more Japanese learning videos besides

1) NHK Japanese Lessons
2) Japanese Basic I
3) Japanese Basci 2

Hihi Bedi,

I don't even know any Japanese Language Aid videos... just a question, those you listed? Where or how can I view them? :)

After my Japanese Community board becomes a bit more popular, I'll start a poll which of the learning videos the users want... After That I'll put them on my webspace one by one, for everyone who is interested in learning Japanese. Just be a bit patient please ;)
