Wow, what the hell happened to my post.Comment

Heres what it said.
"Or at least enough to increase my success with the Japanese tourists. Just met one today with a smoking little body on her, nice titties, and a nice looking crotch. One that I wanted to be in.
Problem was her English was pretty much nonexistent, so all I could do is let her take pictures with me and give her a card with my email address and hope she sends an email.
"
So, where should I start. And please don't say a book.Comment

All you really need to do to get by in Japanese is to print out this phrase and put it on a card, and then whenever you meet someone that speaks Japanese, hand it to them and smile.
Sakana no atama to shitagi no nioi ga suru.
Most Japanese people speak some level of English (especially the younger generations), so they will understand...

Find a guy friend that knows Japanese..there are tons in Hawaii. One of my friends speaks Japanese and we hit up Zan zabar night club every week. I get to bang one or two hot Japanese babes a month...these are really cute one too...a few were airline stewardess for Japan Airlines...they stay in Hawaii a lot because of their flights. if your above average looking the Japanese women don't even care if they can communicate with you, they just want some American guy to bang...just let your friend do the talking and tell him to say to whichever one you like that "your a great guy and that you really like her" and your pretty much set...

I enjoy Pimsleur for foreign language learning It's a big series of audio cds where you learn useful phrases one word at a time, and they explain what the grammar means. Which is really useful, because Japanese grammar is pretty much opposite of English.

Think of Japanese grammar as a freight train with the engine as the verb pushing the train. Just lock on the different parts of the sentence and line them up in order of importance. Put wa on the topic, ga on the subject, o on the object, de how it is happening, ni on when it is happening, e on direction to, kara on direction from, etc...
I am going to Tokyo from Osaka by train tomorrow.
Watakushi wa (I) ashita ni (tomorrow) densha de (by train) Tokyo e (to Tokyo) Osaka kara (from Osaka) ikimasu ( am going). Note. the Japanese leave off the I/you part unless it is not understood from the context of the conversation.
My Japanese is rusty. Gomen.Comment

Horseradish = Wasabi
Pretty sure that I have had that a time or three...
Yeah, that's basically it for conversational Japanese.
Written Japanese is a whole different crazy matter, as their syllabary, depending on which system you use, consists of nearly 100 characters for proper Japanese - Hiragana - and nearly an equal amount for Katakana (mostly to designate foreign or scientific terms).
If you want to read and write proficiently enough to understand a newspaper, then in addition, you must learn several thousand kanji (Chinese characters, which are pronounced differently than the Chinese characters, and often have more than one context sensitive meaning).
That is why, Japanese and Chinese students, in addition to spending several more hours per month, and more months per year in class than Americans, have the equivilant of a college education by the time most Americans have barely a high school education.
And keep in mind that the standards for admissions to the top instiitutions in Japan and China are much higher than in the U.S.
Just remember: A riddle language goes a wrong way...

Been there and done that.
I used to be able to read the Asahi Shimbun. I tell everyone I learned Japanese by reading manga; but, my first wife was Japanese and I lived in Japan for a couple of years.
I found reading the newspaper to me more like watching a movie: the kanji images go straight to the brain with out the middle step of text conversion. It is really cool the first time it happpens.....goosebumps.
As far as formal education, I think a student should plan to study a language for 2,000 hours to gain some minimal level of fluency. When I was taking formal classes, I made sure to take "culture" classes as well in Japanese history, art, religion, geography, and business practices. The additional classes go a long way in giving context in which the language is used.
I acutally have a degree in International Business and an advanced degree in Asian Studies with Japanese as my language. I just don't get to use the skills often enough to retain fluency.
I still manage to get back to Japan for a couple of weeks every year or so. I hate to think about the days when I used to get 360 yen to the dollar. Life was good.Last edited by Redrob; 04-12-2008, 08:39 PM.Comment

My first room was over a bar with about 6 bargirls.
Mama-san got her $10, a box of chocolates, some cigs, and the bottle of $4.50 Johnny Walker from the NCO club every month.
For a nineteen year old kid, it was heaven on earth. Fukuoka rocks.
And it beat the hell out of Vietnam in 1970.Comment

what i've been doing is learning a half dozen phrases here and there, and repeating them in my head as i go, then i learn how to slightly alter the phrases a bit and a couple new ones a few days later. then i try to learn a few different words that i can mix into the statement or change the statement with. some resources have suggested writing up word lists and carrying them with you, so whenever you find yourself with a couple of minutes of downtime you can pull out your word or phrase list and refresh on a few words.Comment

Try finding an old magazine called "Mangajin" on ebay. It was literally learning Japanese through the comics. A great learning tool. I still have my copies.Comment
