Practice makes perfect right?

I need to practice my Japanese, as do many people on here, so, let's have a chat then.

Conversation can be about anything but let's keep it on topic so read what people are talking about an answer accordingly. Only rule is everything has to be in Nihongo.

here's a pretty terrible but it works Romanji (english letters) to Hiragana (Japanese letters) chart
http://www.thejapanesepage.com/reada...article_id=142

Lets try to keep everything in Hiragana (avoid the Kanji "Chinese Letters") unless the Kanji is really simple, but give the traslation.

Give a traslation of what you say, unless it's already been covered, because we want to learn right?

Well Ikuzo!

Introduction. - 02-01-2008, 03:51 AM

わたし の なまえ は マタヤ です どうぞ よろ しく おねがいします
私=わたし
私=I

Watashi no namae wa MaTaYa desu, douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu
I (ownership) name (?) Matya is. (emphasis) look after me please.

My name is Matya, Nice to meet you.

あなた の なまえ は なん です か
anata no namae wa nan desu ka?
you (ownership) name what is ?

What's your name?

no の is an ownership particle, so watashi no (I "no") is My or Mine.

Wow, that was awesome. Only error I spotted was that you forgot to put か at the end of your last question-sentence.

か is not necessary.

ookamichan - i think you should use 話せたい also i found it interesting you used 流暢 (りゅうちょう) to say you wish to speak fluent. i had not heard this word before although apparently it is among the top 20,000 words used in Japanese. What i always heard Japanese say to me when i was in japan was ペラペラ to mean fluent/fluency. i think this is more common, with younger people at least. nicely done being just 16. keep at it ^^
