Completely ignoring the numerous spelling, capitalization, and grammatical errors.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SadClown [/i] [B]Wrist cutter, if you know people who have lived in Japan and dont know as much as you do, then don't be offended when I say that they either aren't too intellegent or lived on an American military base.[/B][/QUOTE] The point was that it is just so easy to get by in Japan on English. You need very minimal Japanese skills to get by - and like I said, they have lived there for many years. It's not that they're dumb, it's just that they don't try to learn. Even being there, day in, day out, they don't pick it up, because they don't need to. There's enough English to get by on. "Going to the country is an important part of learning any language. There is no way you can become fluent in a language simply by studying books. " I agree. I think it's only a rare case that someone becomes fluent without going to the country. It's pretty necessary for fluency. It takes more than just studying books. You can't just read a few a chapters in some "learn japanese" book and think you're able to say everything. It takes practice - and even without going to the country, you can master these books. You can go a long way with books alone, I certainly know I have. But again, without going to the country for an extended period I don't think I'll ever reach fluency. I can say a lot right now, but there's still a long ways to go. Unless you're really dedicated to the language and have people who are willing to help and teach you on an almost daily basis, I honestly don't think you can just go to Japan with no prior knowledge of the language and just expect to "pick it up". I think a good foundation of the language first would make the experience much easier and faster.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by outlawstar69 [/i] [B]"The Japanese word for BREAD is PAN [pan] Imagine a PAN full of BREAD." [/B][/QUOTE] How many people will think the Japanese word "pan" is actually said the same as the English word now? It's not. It's pronounced like "pawn", not like pan of bread.

My high school offers a Japanese class, so I feel a little spoiled. I take it and am in my third year of it, but so far it has yet to be of any use to me. If anything, all it has done is kept me motivated to continue studying privately. So I feel kind of bad that I, someone who doesn't really need it, has the option to take the class and so many who really want to learn Japanese don't have that luxury. Other than that, I took a year of French back in my first year of middle school and it just wasn't for me.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SadClown [/i] [B]I'd like to point out then when your born, you don't use a book to learn how to speak. Nor do you use a book to learn how to eat or run or anything else. No, you learn by doing it. Same thing goes here. [/B][/QUOTE] The same thing does not go here actually. The speech portion of a child's brain is very, very different than that of an adult's. Children are made so that they can pick up a language without any prior knowledge. Now, this same thing can happen with adults - I've heard of camps where people go in knowing nothing but their native language. And then, while at the camp, nobody is allowed to speak in any language except the one designated. Within a few weeks they pick it up. But that is significantly different than Japan. I've been to Japan for two weeks and let me tell you, I did not make any significant advances. Yeah, I picked up a few words. But that's about it. Why? Because if you're not Japanese, people speak English to you. Even if you respond in Japanese, they keep talking to you in English. The only time they'll use any Japanese is if their English fails them... it's like a last resort. Now, there are people who know very little English. In such a case, maybe you'll get to work on your Japanese a bit here. But otherwise I don't feel like a few weeks in Japan is going to bring you from nothing to fluency. I've known people who have lived in Japan longer than I've been studying it and I still know more than they do. Honestly. Just being there doesn't raise your fluency.

I'm guessing the next poster is going to be a moderator.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SadClown [/i] [B]Anyway, Ares, the best way to learn Japanese is through experience. You just gotta plant yourself in Japan and learn it outta neccesity. [/B][/QUOTE] I think that's a little too much like trying to learn how to ride a bike... in a swimming pool. You should at least have a decent foundation of knowledge before you go there. Because, yes, necessity is a great way to learn a lot and quickly. However unless you kind of know what you're doing, you're going to be in way over your head, especially considering that Japanese people speak in English to you. Honestly... while in Japan EVERYONE spoke to me in English. Granted it was poorly pronounced and broken, and generally just not that great, but they are more than willing to cater to you in the field of language. I don't know why teachers even bother teaching kids greetings like "konnichiwa" or "ohayou gozaimasu" or anything of that sort. Everyone just says "haro" to you if you're white.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Ares [/i] [B]it's typical Japanese style. [/B][/QUOTE] Because it's sung in Japanese?

In Church there was a song we sang called "I'm Justified", or it least it says that a lot. Anyway, as a kid, words like "justified" don't really make any sense. So I was under the impression everyone was saying "I'm Just a Fly". I was close. Naturally, my childhood humor kicked in and I added "I'm just a fly.... BUTT." Because anytime that anyone says the word butt, it's just hilarious. My siblings found it funny anyway, and they're much older than me.

What a shame, the Misfits fanlisting layout you made was awesome. Of all the layouts of yours I've seen, that was my favorite. Such a cool design on it... everything was done excellently. I know what you mean about the small size thing, it seems especially prevelant with fanlistings. They're also crammed in like a 10x10 pixel box haha... you have to squint just to read the text.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by anatema [/i] [B]I'm particularly fond of the song She is Perfect. That song, in the beginning for some odd reason, reminds me of the Police, but then it turns into something completely different, y'know.[/B][/QUOTE] I had to get that song once you described the intro as Police-like... heh, I agree. Kinda reminds me of "Tea In The Sahara". This is the first time I've heard the Pillows. I can't say I really go for them... the vocalist sounds really weird, and generally their music just sounds a bit too "raw" for me. Eh, oh well.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Tsukasa_hack [/i] [B]PS before you think I'm a lonely sap, I dislike dances anyway, so I probably wouldn't have gone even with her. [/B][/QUOTE] Oh OK. I was about to lay the pity on thick until I read that.
