When you learn more and more Kanji you start to see some of these similarities.

Also, when the kanji for "man" began to be used, Japanese men worked very hard in rice fields ^_^

you're all so nice. it makes me smile.



Back in those days,
I didn't really know how to love anyone...
but I wanted to much to be loved.
It breaks my heart to think about it.
If I'd only been more mature back then,
and realized what your weaknesses were...
would things have been different now?

Aku  bad/evil

Shi to remember

Thanks for the help ^_^. I just a few more questions about my grammar in these sentences...


Omae wa watashi no sensei desu ka?

Nakamura Kyoko desu. Sensei ga doko desu ka?

Anko-sama, anata mo sensei desu ka?

Kare wa omae no sensei desu.

Chigusa wa koko ichinen sei, to Hiroki wa koko ninen sei desu.

Iie, sono katan ga Sasuke no desu.

Oh..and I was wondering...boku, ore and watashi all mean "i/me" right ^^? Are there certain situations you use them for?

**Ill go in order**

Are you my Teacher?

Im Nakamura Kyoko. Were is the Teacher.

Mr. (very honorific) Anko your a Teacher too?

He's your Teacher.

Chigusa is a 1st year High School student and Hiroki is a 2nd year High School student.

I think for the last one you meant to say

Iie, sono kata ga Sasuke-san desu. (No, he is Sasuke.)

*jumps into conversation*
Konnichiwa! Watashi wa Monika desu. Hajimemashite. Nihongo ga dokugaku (I have no idea if that was grammatically correct >.<) Watashi wa shoshinsha desu. ^_^;; Nihongo o benkyou shimasu nazenara nihon ni ikimasu

I have some questions too. How would you chance "narau" when you want to say "I want to learn"? I know how to change words from "masu" form, but I guess there are some verbs that don't end in masu...?

Also, how do I say "because"? I tried it up there, but I have no clue ^_^;;

Another question, how would I add "this summer" to that last sentance?

Arigatou!
