Want to learn English, Tagalog, or Basic Japanese?
 

Hi, Anna-chan desu. If anybody wants a to learn English, Tagalog or basic Japanese, feel free to ask me. I'm fluent in english and tagalog. I know basics in Japanese, but I don't know kanji. I'll be glad to help for free, you can pm me anytime. If you want my email or ym, pm me or just post it here...^^

Sorry, but if you knew basic Japanese, you wouldn't be calling yourself -chan.

ehehe^^, i'm japanese.

Japanese people don't call themselves chan ^^

ehehe, but this is my nickname, they all call me anna-chan ^^

I would like to learn Japanese very much but is it possible to do so through text form, I was under the impression that pronounciation is vital to the language, or am I mistaken? :confused:

That's true, but i think we could use some pronunciation symbols or

word/syllable keys, like for example, the "Sa" from Sakura is pronounced like

the first syllable of the word sarcastic.

If you're going to teach Japanese to people, you should let them know that you don't actually know Japanese.

Sakura does not sound like Sum.

^^ i guess your right^^

unless you have a really thick tagalog accent, then ya, "sum" sounds like "sam".

but "sum" is usually pronounced "suhm".

Sum - uhh
Sam - aaa
Art - ahh
Sakura - ahh

I guess your right.. ^^

Look, tagalog is more similar to spanish.

..your point being?

Well, I'm just giving them the idea of how things should be pronounced in tagalog.

*punches shoulder*

come on, dude, we don't sound spanish. D:

kmusta balut adobo pancit, ect :ywave: ;)

Well, we don't sound like any asian language obviously, and when it comes to pronouncation of things in english, filipinos sound similar to spanish or mexican people.

"Pare, wala na tayong magagawa, 500 years tayong sinakop ng mga espanol eh."

he ish rait my pilipino pren. joo gais are barry clos to espeaking spanich like deh messicans prom messico. :D

ah. tama nga parang mexicano.

hay buhay.

gusto ko ng pastillas de leche. :3

yeah, but we're not THAT bad. D:

it's the closet thing to tagalog

ex. trabajo = trabajo ;) ;)

sapatos = sapatos

sombrero = sombrero

trust me, i know.

accent wise, we don't sound spanish. tagalog is distinct.

just like how you don't mix up chinese with japanese or korean.

Well yeah, our language is very different from spanish but we are talking about accents and pronouncations here. I mean, our accent when we speak english are similar to latino people when they speak english.

Mga pre, let's spread the pinoy pride, haha.

just saying. it's similar, yes..but not completely identical.

do you still live in the philippines?
