Does anyone know where i can learn it? and i mean a site. I wouldn't be able to go somewhere like a class.

A link would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

http://www.polykarbon.com/japan/language.htm Unfortunately, it only has letters. I suggest you get a dictionary.

And, if all else fails, go here.-->http://web-jpn.org/kidsweb/say.html It has basic stuff, and it even has pronunciations! A gem for those wanting to learn Japanese. Laughing

Japanese is difficult to learn on a website, just as a heads up. Gombatte yo! (Do your best!)

thanks everyone, i'll try to find one when my mother feels like going to chapters (we don't go there verry often so i'll have to convince her)

Does this anime use katakana or Hirigana. And for the games, wich one are they?

I think it's a waste of time to learn a language just to watch cartoons and just plain retarded to think you can learn it over the internet -- What is it with waps anyway?

Jo, be nice. :P Everyone's reasons for learning something new are different, you shouldn't judge someone against theirs just because it may be for a recreational purpose. I think it's good that some people take the time to at least try to understand some of the basics of something as difficult as a new language.

Shadien - The uses of katakana or hiragana depends on the situation it calls for. Katakana is generally used to spell out a word that is borrowed from another language, such as english, or for personal names or places. A good example of this would be something like Rockman's name, which is spelled ロックマン (rokkuman) in katakana. Besides hiragana and katakana, you also have kanji, which are far more complex chinese characters.

You can probably find a much better explanation by simply googling it, too. :P

Thanks Ryouku. I was wondering what the ッ was. The ロ=ro ク=ku マ=ma ン=n.

Poeple pronounce it rockman did they just start calling it that even when it's rokkuman.

How did you get the K i had got tu, shi, si but i knew it wan't that.

**Ryouko** · Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2006 2:25 pm Post subject:

ロ (ro) ッ (k) ク (ku) マ (ma) ン (n)

From wikipedia:

A small tsu ッ called a sokuon indicates a geminate consonant, which is represented in rōmaji by doubling the following consonant. For example, bed is written in katakana as ベッド (beddo).
