Casual japanese chat

Beki · (#1 (**permalink**))

I realised there arn't any threads for just having a down to earth chat in Japanese.

When i say chat, personally i mean the EXTREME basics, but because of my passion for the language, at any opportunity i have i love to speak the little i do know and thought a thread like this would be fun and helpful to practice the things you do know.

This applies to everyone! Fluent speakers or beginners. Don't be afraid to join in and give it a go, i'm only a beginner aswell so you'll have someone to look silly with

If i start:

Konichiwa! Watashi wa Beki desu, watashi wa gakusei desu, Igirisujin desu. Anatawa? Hajimemashite!

Ahh, it's appauling! I've realised i don't know conjunctions e.g. and.. if anyone could help? Hahaaa thank you!

You can speak Japanese?!?!?!?! That is sooooo cool! um.....Konichiwa! Musashi.....(I can recite song lyrics.....)

i really wouldn't say i could speak Japanese, that's pretty much as far as it goes!

haahaa! But i am gradually learning bit by bit

You recite song lyrics! What songs do you like?

I've recently fallen in love with Utada Hikaru's Passion from Kingdom Hearts, unoriginal i know, but i can recite about half the song!

It took me alot of practice so i was proud for learning that much!!

This is going to sound silly, but what does Musashi mean? I searched it on google and it came up with warrior i think? xx

Yeah, when i first heard Musashi, it turns out to be my name in Japanese....but it could be a boy or girl's name....I'm a girl.....but yeah, then they came out with that game and now a couple think i am just obsessed with the game which is sooooo not true....I haven't even played it yet.....lol...... I like the theme song to paradise kiss, I love ALL the KH songs, including Passion....(I have it completely memorized...lol....*brags*) I have most of the Inu-yasha songs memorized too....I can read japanese, becausee i figured out how everything is pronounced, but, I couldn't tell you what half the stuff I say means....lol....I know "shinjite" means believe......i think...lol

ooh i like it! Musashi.. it has a nice ring to it! I'd like to find out my name in Japanese, i actually spell it Becky, but i was told by someone that the Japanese spell it Beki, so thought it'd be more appropriate here

Wow! That's impressive! Memorising all those songs! Passion took me long enough just to memorise half of it! You'd probably be naturally really good at Japanese if you were ever to learn it properly!
