Audience san, Konnichiwa! Hello again friend. Though my eyelashes are not this feathered.. (badoom ching), I do consider this blog an update of this wonderful place soon to be called home..mi casa... Japan. Yeah, about this language barrier- is it a barrier or benefit? Well, this language is quite intense in an un-intense way. There are tones instead of many hard rules. And two or more alphabets. But seriously- keep it to the basics. Just A Guz is looking forward to adding a study of Japanese to my repertoire but where to start? So for this I shall share with you all my knowledge this far of the Japanese language as taught to me by a few free lessons.. by Rocket Japanese-(I like rockets- so why not!).... I shall be talking to a imaginary friend names Konchi..
Molly: Konchi san, konnichiwa! ( assuming it is afternoon- hence konnichiwa)
Konchi: Molly san, Konnichiwa! O Genki desu ka?
Molly: Genki desu, (along with other banter- such as -estoy bien-I am fine).
banter
Later: Molly: Konchi san, dewa mata.
Konchi: Molly san, sayanora.
This conversation thought very brief was all from a memory bank of about twenty to thirty words which I am still working on and progressing through. Here is the conversation, I just had in English...
Molly: Konchi, good afternoon!
Konchi: Molly, good afternoon! How are you?
Molly: I am fine.
banter banter
Molly: Konchi, see you later
Konchi: bye.
I can officially begin and end conversations. The most important parts! So you could say Moshi Moshi to that (means hello, hello). Done. This update was brought to you by Rocket Japanese- hey you don't need to be a rocket to learn Japanese but hey it wouldn't hurt! Sayanora!
Remember this phrase: Oyasumniasai- (oiasumneasie)! Just incase you have nothing else to say good bye is a great way to end some confusing conversation! Try to say it twice at regular speed!
