wrist cutter Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Since this is a place for Japanese anime, I was just wondering about what you all know about the language. 1) Do you speak Japanese fluently? 2) Have you taken a class in Japanese? If so, how many? 3) Have you bought a book related to learning Japanese? If so, how many? 4) Can you count how many Japanese words you know? If so, how many? 5) Do you know hiragana and katakana? 6) About how many kanji do you know? 7) Do you have any friends or relatives that speak fluent Japanese? 8) Do you WANT to learn Japanese? OK, so I lied, it isn't super fun. BUT DO IT ANYWAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how many?[/b] Nope, n/a [b]3) Have you bought a book related to learning Japanese? If so, how many?[/b] Umm, I might have a long time ago. If so, I didn't buy it, I rented it from a library of some sort. [b]4) Can you count how many Japanese words you know? If so, how many?[/b] I can't recal all of them I know, but I really don't know that many. Less than 20 I'm sure. [b]5) Do you know hiragana and katakana?[/b] ... I know [i]of[/i] them... lol. [b]6) About how many kanji do you know?[/b] ....? [b]7) Do you have any friends or relatives that speak fluent Japanese?[/b] No... ::cries:: [b]8) Do you WANT to learn Japanese?[/b] What? And confuse all the other people in the world? You bet your buttons!!! :toothy: Though learning Japanese would be rather difficult when it came to structuring things.. I read somewhere where they were comparing how the direct translations from English to Japanese won't be the same at all. Like, "Mary walked into the classroom with an apple." Would be more like, "Mary walked monkey and apple the chair" or something like that... I don't remember the exact words. It was a while ago, but I'm sure you get my point. :whoops: Nothing like a good ol' survey to make you feel dumb. :p[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [FONT=arial] You wouldn't be able to keep track of how many words you knew if you actually were fluent. and I seriously doubt that you could be fluent in Japanese if you've only taken 2 years worth of classes and you don't live with anyone who actually does speak it fluently.
