Japanese Language

[Mansi14]

Kon'nichiwa minna-sama!!

I study Japanese from classes...
And I really enjoy doing it
The best thing about it is I got a really sugoii sensei  

Most of you here probably know some Japanese
What are your favourite words and words which you use often?

 

[Vengeance]

I'm not really familiar with more than to the extent of how to say hello. Some of my friends are more diligent students, one of them in fact now has the privilege to study abroad in Japan.

 

[Demon_skeith]

I should really take some lessons on Japanese. Anyways, my favorite word is baka.

 

[MadaraUchiha]

I may take classes in the future, after I learn a few other languages(Sanskrit, Spanish, German, etc.)............

 

[Sindar]

What do they teach you in that class? Do they try to teach you to speak Japanese, or you also learn reading kanji?

That is great! I hope someday I will be able to do it as well

I should really take some lessons on Japanese. Anyways, my favorite word is baka.

That is the first word I learned through anime
I like to say bakayaro more

I may take classes in the future, after I learn a few other languages(Sanskrit, Spanish, German, etc.)............

Next langauage I wanna learn is Sanskrit..
And due to studies...I will have to learn Marathi too (_ _||) Even though I live in Maharashtra I suck at it (_ _||)

What do they teach you in that class? Do they try to teach you to speak Japanese, or you also learn reading kanji?

She teaches me to read and write Hiragana and Katakana along with Kanji practice

Actually I didn't know(due to my own stupidity) that I will have to write Japanese when I first went to class But then sensei started writing letters on board and I realized that I am gonna have to write, read and speak

You need not be ashamed about Marathi........It was inevitable..........Just like Sanskrit..........

That is true somehow...
But I am learning Marathi from 5th grade, not Sanskrit... >_>
But I sure can understand Marathi more than Sanskrit due to obvious reasons >.>

Do they teach you "actual Marathi" or just for name-sake?

The school system has "actual Marathi"
But how it is taught depends upon the teacher...
So in 5th when i was learning the letters...the teacher didn't teach well..in 6th as well...after that teacher changed 7th and she teaches well but I am not much clear of grammatical concepts of it anymore...so as a result I always screw it xD

Well reading kanji is really hard, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was avoided all together. I think I've read somewhere that native Japanese learn about 1000 kanji at school, while there are about 6000 total xD That is insane. If that is true that basically means that the language is too hard for the native speakers, they can't read some texts even after graduating from school.

So is that your main foreign language class? =) I mean, obviously you have or had English classes, but that probably isn't considered to be a foreign language in India, since it has such a wide use.

I will probably have to learn minimum 3000 Kanji in next 2 years @.@

And yeah it is..for now

Well, I asked this because the syllabus of Sanskrit in NCERT is juz for name-sake...........It is not in-depth, and even though I learnt it for 5 years, all I did was get full marks, and I am not able to communicate in Sanskrit...........Heck, I am on the verge of completely forgetting it............Strange, though, cuz NCERT is usually good.............

I mean even though I don't understand too much I can judge that...
