Konbanwa, minna-san! Boku wa Taviren desu. Nihongo wo yonen ni benkyoushimashita. Demo, ima, nihongo wo amari tsukaimasen. Dakara, koko ni renshusuru no ga hoshii desu. Douzo yoroshiku, onegaishimasu! ^__^

Hopefully I didn't mess that up too badly. I switched my major to a minor after my study abroad in Osaka because I realized how terrible I am at the language. ^^' Eh... by the way. I recently upgraded my computer to windows 7 and I can't seem to figure out how to install the Japanese toolbar so I can type in kana. Could anyone help me out with that?

Himurahotaru 02-20-2010 02:00 AM

Konbanwa, watashi no namae ha Vicky desu. Dozou yoroshiku.
Lol a place to speak Japanese on the interwebs...but Im so used to typing in hiragana/katakana blah blah =3=

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 02-20-2010 03:15 AM

Yay more people. :D

@Rainbows- Congrats on learning more kanji. I'm still learning hiragana. :P I'm a slow learner.

@Tavi- Hajimemashite! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Aww that's neat you went to Osaka, unfortunate that you changed your major, but I guess it's good that you realized it. :D
You should be able to change it by going to "Region and Language" in the Control Panel. From there you go to "Keyboards and Languages -> Change keyboards..." And then when the new window pops open, press "Add" and then find Japanese in the list that pops up. You will need to check the boxes "Japanese" and "Microsoft IME." The "Miscrosoft IME" will allow you to type in hirargana and kanji and others.... xD Don't forget to hit "Apply" and then the language bar should show up on the taskbar. That should do it. I tried it on my husband's laptop which has Windows 7; so it should work for you. Hopefully. :P

@Himu- Lawl. Welcome. :D

Taviren 02-20-2010 03:33 AM

@InuAki: やった!ありがとうございます! Yay! I missed my language bar. I figure if I'm going to be trying to speak Japanese here, I'd rather do it in kana. I may be able to read romaji more quickly, but it can often be confusing when written that way. Thank you very much for helping me out. ^^

As for the major change, there are several reasons. One was that I was beginning to struggle in my classes, and my sensei were (correctly so) always saying that if you didn't get an A in the class you shouldn't move on to the next one. The other was time. I needed to graduate after four years because I couldn't afford to go longer, and I wouldn't have been able to complete my Japanese major in that time (especially if I were to end up having to retake courses). Besides, I was just taking Japanese for fun. It has no bearing whatsoever on my career plans (I was double majoring in English and Japanese, so it didn't hurt me at all to drop it).

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 02-20-2010 04:10 AM

@Tavi- どういたしまして! I'm still a bit (very) dependent upon romaji because I don't know all hiragana.
Well at least it didn't hinder you much. :D I wish I could find someone around where I live that could teach me. I've been trying to teach myself for years, but it's going so slow. Hopefully though, with finding this place and tons of study material and whatnot I'll get it. :P I'm taking a short vacation to Tokyo in early April; so I'm hoping to know enough by then to get around at least. It's going to be a rough time. :P

Himurahotaru 02-20-2010 04:12 AM

Lol lucky, I wanna go visit Japan again really bad but I dont have the time, working and whatnot. I used to live in Okinawa, I loved it, but it rained alot. But the people were extremely nice and when it was nice weather out, it was so beautiful..

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 02-20-2010 04:15 AM

@Himu- I'm a bit nervous about visiting because I'm afraid I'll fall in love with the place or something and not be able to go back. :P

I was supposed to get stationed in Okinawa, but it got changed. Aah well~ I guess this gives me more time to learn? Haha.

IchigoHasu 02-21-2010 03:57 AM

@Iku - I'm the same way. I'm so freightened that I'd never want to leave, but then HAVE to leave, and then never be able to go back. Then i would just be depressed. TT_TT

Oh and..

Ah, I guess my japanese is rusty. D: Sumimasen.
Did you say "That kanji was easy (nice? Yasashii.. @[email protected] That word, along with Tanoshii, confuses me, haha), but the other kanji isn't"? @[email protected]

なんでそのコンピューターアジア語はありません? :x 上のポストはMicrosoft IMEを見せて。 ^_^;;

Rainbows 04-07-2010 01:02 AM

Eeeeto. o_o -stares- Omigawd, it's been so long since I've read conversational japanese.. XD *has been reading from a textbook lately*

Bwahaha! I'm guilty of using a translator, and it told me that

strange_dreams_512 04-07-2010 01:08 AM

Ohh the control panel you couldn't get to it? xD I hope that makes sense in English hahaha XD
And yeah that's basically what I was saying. : p I said I talked to my fiance a lot so I didn't uhhh well I used aimasu which is like meet and come together xD uhh sometimes when you said aitai you mean you want to see someone/ you miss them. So uh. Idk if that makes sense either but I didn't look at it. xD Would I use mimasen then ahhah ... maybe : p

Omg!! What I used to do when I didnt have Microsoft IME ... it's actually easier to type in romaji than do this XD I would go to wikipedia and search for hiragana and katakana, whichever I would need.. and copy/paste each individual character from the tables. XD hahah. Took soo long but I used it.

じゃあ、メルさんはお元気ですか。 今日何をしている?

Rainbows 04-07-2010 01:32 AM

ええ… 私は病気ですから今日はちょっと変ですね。 私の耳と目と鼻と喉は痛いです。
でも、 ブラス・バンドはとても楽しいです! 新しい音楽♪が好きです。

ええ?! XD かわいいです! I did that at the library, to type in フカマル (the pokemon gible in japanese.. Haha! I got it in a trade over the global trading system, so now its name is stuck as fukamaru.. even after it evolves xD')... But then I realized that the site I was going to post it on didn't accept kana <__< I was bummed, lol~
But yes.. I understand why you'd rather not type in romaji. I didn't want to when I was first learning japanese.. I wanted to show off that I actually knew what I was talking about (8

ahh... The new uses of kanji I learn every day <3 The newest kanji that I'm learning (aimasu being among them) are kind of confusing... We are learning based on the radicals used on kanji, so it's even more confusing-- they all look relatively the same xD;
Such as: 病、痛、度、疲… >_<

strange_dreams_512 04-07-2010 01:45 AM

あぁ、そうですか。ざんねんですね! すぐに良くなれてください。
はい、私も新しい音楽が好きです。 ブラス・バンドしらないですけど、メルさんは「楽しいいです」の言った から、ブラス・バンドを聞きたいです。
