Japanese? I hardly know her!

Ever wanted to learn Japanese? Think its cool to watch anime and ever think, Damn! it would be cool to just watch it and not have to read it. You start to think, “Hey, It can’t be That hard....Right?”

Wrong.

It is very easily one of the hardest languages on this planet. I’m sure, like myself your saying, “Oh SURE! but im really SMART!”  It still sucks. Belive me.

IF you are like me however, and you are really determined, or prehaps are offered a job in Japan that you don’t really pass up, This will be the page for you!

First off, let me explain why Japanese is confusing and difficult for your everyday Joe. To begin with, it doesn’t work like English or Euro-language. English works as what is known as an S-V-O, that is Subject, Verb, Object. For example

  I saw a car.

In Japanese How ever you would have to write something like....

Watakushi wa kuruma ga mimashita

Which litterly means I a car saw.

Now you might be thinking right now, What the hell?!? Whats with that Wa, and that Ga, are they just there to piss me off? That’s what I thought at first kinda. Then after study I learned how cool they were. The Japanese use things called Particles to mark how things work...To explain it a little better, there is only one word for “See” that would be Miru. Yet, in the example earlier we wanted to say it in the past....so we use the magick of the Japanese verb system, we can just kinda drop the “ru” of Miru and then add the -mashita .Neat cha see....Now for the interesting part.

   How many particles are there? way to farking many, but really, they all make a lot of sense.

To get to the point of this whole site, I’m learning Japanese and I need a better way to orginize what I’m doing. My note books are nice, and a easily portable way to keep notes, but a computer is a much faster way to refrence the material.

Benefit??

You learn Japanese if you want

Fo-net-ics

Particles

   Nice to know notes.....

 Unlike English which flows as a SVO (Subject, Verb, Object) Language (ex. I saw a car) Japanese Flows as a SOV (Subject, Object, verb) Language (I car saw). Remember that when writting japanese sentances.

   Useful Phrases (or atleast I see them useful

   “Robu wa chizu o tabemashita” (Rob ate cheese)

   “Mina sama(san) ohayo gozaimasu” (Good morning everybody)
