Japanese teach me

is there anyone out there who can teach me japanese? i've really been wanting to learn, but i'm having a little trouble trying to teach myself how to speak. thanks

 

Any further things you might want to add to that?

Like where you want to start? things you might want to say? Sometimes its best to justleanr the hiragana and katakana first, then just go round japanese sites practising reading; and translating words you dont understand...

Thats kinda what i didn anyway. go to www.kanjisite.com for the scripts...

 

well, i'm really not ready to learn how to write it, i just want to know how to speak it. how do you mom? dad? aunt? uncle? brother sister? ect... and also i'd like to know how you could set those and other words into a sentance. that's the hard part. that's what i really wanted help with.

 

My best advice to you is to go online and google for a list of japanese verbs and verb endings, easiest way to go by a mile ^^

here are some endings for a pretty common verb-

Present (Dictionary Form) - Kuru
Formal Present (~ masu Form) - Kimasu

Past (~ ta Form) - Kita
Formal Past - Kimashita

Negative (~ nai Form) - Konai
Formal Negative - Kimasen

Past Negative - Konakatta
Formal Past Negative - Kimasen deshita

~ te ("ing" form) Form - Kite
Conditional - Kureba
Volitional - Koyou
Passive - Korareru
Potential (the ability to) - Korareru
Imperative (Command) - Koi

That last one isnt so much widely used, but i suspect anyone who's watched an anime in japanese before has heard the word "KOI!!!" shouted more than once XD

Anyway, hope that helps some


EDIT: Oops! btw, Kuru is the verb "to come"

I know its a bit disorganized at the moment, but we are re-writing all the lessons and hopefully we'll have everything done by the end of Summer. But the resources are there for you to use. Good Luck.

 

Thanks Kaori, helpful as always ^ ^

 

well...I try...>>;

so..what's with this forum? Why is it so empty? Why is there no-one here!? T_T;

 

just one question, what dose "kurukurupa" mean?
