Why doesn't foreigner come here ??? [転載禁止]©2ch.net
minna ohayo.
this board isn't useful.because this board can't use japanese characters.
at least it need to admit to use hiragana characters. >>154
>this board can't use japanese characters.
For me it was disappointment too. I think that I will teach a japanese language but I can't to write anything in japanese. It's very sad. >>154
>>156
Well, the point of this board is to attract mostly Western foreign people, and Japanese isn't a popular language in the West.
I think the staff doesn't allow Japanese characters here as an attempt to not intimidate people who wouldn't understand what they mean, but I think it's a little silly that they did it.
I could ask Code Monkey to enable them the next time I see him post on 8ch, although I'm not sure he'd even respond, and if he does he'd probably say "no". How many people sit on 2ch.net? Does anybody know the approximate number? >>156
>>157
Thank you for the concern.
I will ask Mango-san to enable Japanese language here for ease of talking about language.
Please try to keep messages to predominantly English language, but it should be okay to write in Japanese too. Alright, I asked CM to Japanese characters and he said he would.

ヽ(´▽`)/ I want to know a little about Japan. Is it true that average person feels pressure of society? I mean the strict societal mores. What kinda music to Japs like? I think the only Japanese band I've ever listened to is Church of Misery. >>174-175
>average person feels pressure of society?
yes.
>the strict societal mores.

recently I often listen this band.
man with a mission Hello. How was your day, friends? >>179
very tired.
today,my work was very busy >>178
It kinda reminds me of My Chemical Romance. Personally, fan of that kind of music, but I can see why it could be popular.
I'm somewhat surprised that most of the lyrics are in English, though. >>181

this song was made by DRAGON FORCE. >>183
Well, have a nice rest! :) >>183
It's Shōwa Day, right?
If it's a holiday then why did you have to go into work?
>>184
It's alright, it's not the kind of music I'd normally listen to it, but I'd probably listen to it if I heard it on the radio or something like that.
Speaking of MADMAX, was that movie popular over there?
I remember hearing Hideo Kojima say he saw the movie about fourteen times. >>187
The hell? I tried to write "Showa" with a line over the 'o' and it came out as "Shōwa" >>187
> >>183
> It's Shōwa Day, right?
recently,don't call showa day.it is called MIDORINOHI(means a day of green)
> If it's a holiday then why did you have to go into work?
every day shops are opened.

What is kind of music do you like most ?
rock?jazz?R&B?any other?
> Speaking of MADMAX, was that movie popular over there?
sure.
since 1979(1st madmax),this movies are very popular.
especially madmax2 had influenced many japanese ANIME,MANGA,GAME.
> I remember hearing Hideo Kojima say he saw the movie about fourteen times.
what did he see many times? (・Д・){English is difficult…
(;Д;){English is difficult !
(ノд<。)゜。{English is very difficult !! >>189
>What is kind of music do you like most ?
Mostly electronic music genres. Artists like Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, etc. I also listen to some metal and hip-hop.
An example of the kinds of music I listen to would be this

>rock?jazz?R&B?
I listen to some rock, not very much jazz or R&B.
>what did he see many times?
Mad Max: Fury Road, sorry if I wasn't being clear.

Don't worry, English speakers think the Japanese language is hard. Well, they think kanji is hard, not so much hiragana or katakana. >>190
If you will be talking here you can speak more fluently. >>194
English can be a rather loose language, you can mess up a lot of things (even outright misspell words) but people can still get what you're trying to say. >>196
And that is cause why I love english. >>196
I wish other languages were as lax as English.
If you mess something up in Chinese and the entire sentence either means something entirely different or becomes incomprehensible. >>199
Do you learn Chinese? >>199
No, but my father did. He lived in Hong Kong for a few years.
He told me that even doing so much as changing the tone or pitch of a syllable could change a sentence. >>191
This song sounds like 80's KONAMI game song. ??
suddenly i can't write on this board.
what happen? >>191
it makes me wonder that
Chinese language learner doesn't claim kanji is difficult,
but japanese language learner (include japanese people)claims kanji is very difficult.
it is unique to me. We have posted a little bit more than 200 posts already. >>201
It kind of does, actually.
>>203
Well, I've heard that the Chinese language is much harder to learn and use than kanji, so kanji seems easier by comparison. Also, if you know Chinese then you already know the characters in kanji, although their meaning might be a little different. >>205
meaning is VERYdifferent between japanese kanji and Chinese kanji.
「手紙」 means…
letter → japanese
toilet paper → Chinese What do you read from the English literature to improve your skill, /lang8/? >>207
I'm fluent in English, so I don't need to improve my skills in the language.
However, I would recommend the George Orwell novella "Animal Farm" to anybody learning English; it's rather short and quite interesting. hey,guys.
no one speak in these days.
anybody looks here? >>210
Me. Hello. I tried to read english books all these days. Sorry. >>209
I still look around these threads.
>>210
What books are you reading currently? book written in english is expensive >>212
If you're buying physical copies, then yes.
Most people in the west either buy digital copies of books or just illegally download them. >>2111
The series of novels about FFFFFFFFFFF
>>211
The series of novel about "Harry Potter".
>>213
>just illegally download them
This. >>213
> Most people in the west either buy digital copies of books or just illegally download them.
it doesn't make sense to me.
everytime Westerner has Internet ?
in my opinion paper bookis more useful than digital book. >>216
>everytime Westerner has Internet ?
I assume you mean "does every Westerner have internet?" In first-world Western countries like the United States, Britain, Germany, etc? Absolutely, most people have an internet connection.
>in my opinion paper book is more useful than digital book.
That's debatable, if you carry and e-reader then you can carry hundreds of digital books around on you wherever you go, but you couldn't carry hundreds of paper books.
The only upside paper books have is that they don't run on batteries, so they can't die on you like an e-reader can.
However, most modern e-readers have rather long battery lives, some of them can even go two and a half days of constant use before having to be be recharged.
Personally, I prefer paper books, but that doesn't mean everybody else does. >>216
>everytime Westerner has Internet ?
To add on to what 217 said: in Canada ~96% of the population has access to the internet, and we are a relatively isolated country.
>>217
Yes, e-readers have been getting better with battery. I have a fairly premium Kobo reader, and the battery can last 3-4 days of straight reading with the backlight on. >>219
Not without a condom. >>220
Ewww! That's disgusting! What's wrong with koreans? >>222
If you talking about South Korea: I don't know about the people, but the government is extremely corrupt.
If you talking about North Korea: it's George Orwell's 1984 come to life. 超音波テロの被害にあっています。

How do English user distinguish similar word.(e.g. except/expect,quite/quiet…etc)
i often mistake when i read English,and i feel it's more difficult than reading kanji. You just need to get used to it. >>227
>to get used to it.
thank you for answering
orz >>226
After awhile you get used to it, but it's okay to misread something every once in awhile. It's a common mistake even native speakers make.
What you REALLY want to watch out for are homographs, which I'm convinced are the Devil's own work.
A homograph is a word that is spelled EXACTLY THE SAME as another word, but has a different meaning and is pronounced differently.
For example: >>229
For some reason half my post disappeared. Anyway, back to what I was saying.
For example: "sake", pronounced "say" with a "k" at the end. It's a bit of a loose word, it's used in sentences like "For God's sake, don't do that."
On we go to "sake", pronounced "sah-kay". It's a Japanese drink.
Another one: "polish", pronounced "paul-ish". It refers to making something shiny or glossy.
Then there's "Polish", pronounced "poll-ish". It refers to a person from Poland.
Another one: "tear", pronounced "tea-er". It refers to the droplets of saliva that comes out of a person's eye when they cry.
Then there's "tear", pronounced "ta-er". It refers to ripping something.
There are over a hundred words like this. >>229-230
very thank you for your advice. >>226
You need more practise. Just read more and write more and you will be better. >>231
>very thank you
The correct phrase is "thank you very much". That feel when you try to speak confidently and beautiful like in your own language but all what you've said looks retarded and silly shit. I hate myself. >>234
What's your native language? Could somebody to write to me? Just for fun.
box.forgames@yandex.ru I want to have sex with white people! >>237
Some white people want to have sex with Asians, as well.
In fact, there's a slang term for guys who only likes Asian girls: "yellow fever"
Not many white girls like Asian guys, though. Nobody writes to me...... WHY LIVE, comrades? >>240
>WHY LIVE
My reason to live has been the same for the last seven years.
Watching hentai. This thread = Everyone pretend to be foreigner
Baka gaijin never come here
Too stupid >>243
Ты че выебываисся, а? Че выебываисся то?! Тебе по мордям нахлестать штоль, а?! Щас нахлестаю! I want to have sexy time with white gaijins♪ Fuck, guys. Why are we so shy? Although I am studying Japanese, finding this board was really hard. 2ch is too complicated for gaijins >>245
not shy.
it's only that i don't have what do i talk about. >>246
>>2ch is too complicated for gaijins
2chan, for example, completely hate us. Even /int/ dosen't exist and japanese proxy and most of VPN are banned. 2ch is more better at this.
>>247
How long do you sit on the imageboards? Is it the only place where you talk with people?
P.S. Sorry, if questions look like dumb shit. >>246
>2ch is too complicated for gaijins
I disagree, I've been using this site for awhile now and haven't had any problems outside the first day. There are some annoying error messages, though.
Also, why does everybody keep saying "gaijin"?
Yeah, I get it's the Japanese word for "foreigner", but what's the point in using a word from another language when there's already a word that means the same thing? >>249
>why does everybody keep saying "gaijin"?
i think it is banter.
i heard in 4chan,some westerner especially American people think "gaijin" is racism word.
often happen in 4chan,american flag often calls us "JAP".and we say "don't call us JAP !".
and they say "don't call us GAIJIN,you are raicist" >>251
>and we say "don't call us JAP !"
Is "Jap" considered a racial slur, or do people just not like being called it?
I remember a long time ago hearing that "Nip" was considered to be rather offensive. When is coming bump limit here?
