always wanted to ask - have you talked to anyone using your Japanese? ^_-

[elkica.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link. I found http://www.sf.airnet.ne.jp/ts/japanese/, very helpful.

have you talked to anyone using your Japanese? Jup, only the phrases and the easy stuff...I have this Hungarian friend, a schoolmate from Japanese class and I bug my co-workers and friends with my Japanese a lot. LOL My two room-mates at work have even made a help-list so they know what I'm saying.

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

I'm glad there's something tha can help you ^^

haha - sounds familiar XD the friend of mine seems to know all the simple phrases though she's not interested in japanese at all +)

Hi, I came from your post on the learn_japanese community, and I can't help pointing out some mistakes >.<
びじゆつかん should be びじゅつかん.
タクシ should be　タクシー.
ブス is an ugly woman. バス is bus.
ありまっせん shouldn't have a っ.
くに is country. にく is meat.
いくら is how much, not how many.
'What' by itself is なに.

I hope I haven't stepped over any lines, but I'd hate for you to learn things wrong ^^;

[elkica.livejournal.com]

No, no, no lines here. :) I really appreciate that that you pointed things out, so I can correct my sloppiness..
