Well, i think that it is safe to assume that it have a fair amount of people with an appreciation for Japanese culture and entertainment. i want help with two things.
Okay, shoot.
Being a budding but amateur linguist, i bought a book - an introduction to Japonese language - but then I discovered that it would not be the simple case of learning your verb conjugation and some vocab, because of the writing system. And I want somebody to tell me, how i am supposed to go about properly practising the hiragana and the katakana blah blah blah BLORGY SHMORGY
*brain explodes*
I fooling .
Thank GOD. Now, tell me, in plain
english, what you need to find out?
First things first - you could even write it using a normal pen, or you have to get a flat tip pen. 2nd, They sell flat tip pens anywhere?
You an pretty much write it out in any way you please, but if you're a stickler for calligraphy, get a calligraphy pen and some nibs with different sizes (How to draw Manga Volume 1 outlines some of the basic nibs you should get.) Assuming flat tips are the same as the one that I'm thinking of right now, head on over to any art store such as Deltex in Port of Spain, Da Vinci in Trincity Mall, or Art & More in St. Augustine (I personally recommend the last one,) and ask around. Even if you don't find a specific one to work with, there must be something else suitable enough to do the job.
and the next thing, it have a place in ST. A doing kendo. Anybody in it and reach the stage of handling the japonese steel?
The closest thing to 'Japonese steel' anybody around here's probably ever touched is either a custom-made arcade stick for console wars or a stainless steel 'Made in Japan' fork that they use to eat their ramen as they spin through old "Naruto: The Abridged series" episodes on YouTube.
Long story short, we're
gamers. You want a better answer to that, then take my advice and
walk inside the dojo and ask for help. If there's anybody at all in that stuff, it'd probably be one in a million in a place like this. I wouldn't even hold my breath waiting for a serious answer to that one, and, if it comes, well hey....you
found somebody.
Allyuh men good yes. I cetching my tail learning the different forms of English and men trying to learn Japanese? Anyway I wish you all luck because japanese is one of the more difficult languages I have ever come across.
I concur. But, from what several people tell me, it not really as daunting as it may appear, despite having several symbols meaning different things in different situations, and whatnot. Then again, I suppose they've been in it long enough to know their way around things.
With that said, there was a time I was interested in learning the language, but, for now, that's lying a bit low on my priority list at the moment, because it's a skill that I'm not going to use to my advantage right now. Maybe later, when I have a chance, but for now, give me good old EENGLASH. Tea and crumpets, and all that tummy rot.
...on second thought, maybe a Green Sands and some Bhagi Crix would be better.
thats sooo f**** disrespectful!! what kinda otaku would call Japan japon?? atleast call it niponjin if yu wanna be clever or something
Nippon, according to the Japan Book.
Japan, to those of us that speak normal English.
Japon, to the Spanish speakers out there. So, in a sense, all three are correct, though not in the context that nikkodemus uses it.
Next question....who really
cares, anyway? Big deal how some people spell or say it. Now, people poisoning monkeys and spanking donkeys in the middle of the highway during rush hour, now
that's something to be bent out of shape about.
Yeah, before you ask, I spent two days without getting any sleep, so I'm a bit on the wacky side right now.
