I hope you noticed the old lady glaring at you passionately. That shit is fierce.
Yep. From a business standpoint, there's no reason to learn anything but English, Spanish, and Mandarin, unless you have a specific responsibility somewhere else.Quote:

I couldn't watch it for more than 5 seconds after you came on screen, it was just too embarassing!
How does one get a student visa @ 30?
The easiest way to conjugate verbs in Japanese is to learn the A I U E O method of taking the verb stem and adding the various endings with the A I U E O sounds like anai for informal negatives and imasu for formal style etc. You should check out Kodansha's Basic and Intermediate Japanese gammar books. I got my results back from the JLPT and I passed 2kyu with a 76 pretty much thanks to these books and heisegs's remembering the kanji. Still can't speak it worth a damn though, but when I do it's always casual and I always tell sales people and clerks "keigo wo wakaranai", but only about 30% of them can switch back to casual speech when talking to the godforsaken foreigners.
I hate going to Nagoya Sakae during the daytime on weekends as there is always some jackass with a camera who wants to interview the white guy to see if he likes some jpop slut of the week. It's gotten to the point that when we see a camera my friends and I turn around or go the long way around. It's never a question if we want to be on TV it's always camera and mic in shoved your face as you try to walk by (and heaven forbid you act like a Japanese person and don't pay attention to where you're walking, these fuckers will ambush you).
Fuck thinking about it just makes me hate this country more.
Anyway, your Japanese is leagues above my own, well done Shidoshi.
It'll grow on you. Ist nett! Ist nett! Das ist nett! Ich mag wenig kind Diffx!Quote:

In Japan, when somebody is speaking to you, you have to CONSTANTLY acknowledge the person talking, and let them know that you are listening. There's one or two times where I'm talking for more than just a quick response, and you can hear her say something or another in acknowledgement.
When you say things like that, make other kinds of acknowledgements, or whatnot, Japanese people typically do a little nod of the head. Watch the opening part of the video, where the two hosts are talking to the older guy in orange, and you can see them do it a bunch there.
If, that is, what you were talking about. Other times of my doing that could simply have been from being nervous.
See these are the kind of experiments you need to be running while you're over there.
Hey that was great! It was like, "Oh look a white guy, let's go talk to him and put him on the spot!"
