konnichiwa Well, I was wondering, maybe someone is interested in learning Japanese? I am a beginner, and this thread won't make sense unless some other nub like me joins, and someone who is good or native is willing to correct our mistakes (onegai! ) anyway, I thought it would be interesting to do something like this: - we post a - short, and possibly not too much advanced - text (from a song, anime dialogue, anything you want) and we try to translate it. Not just translate, though, we should try to explain what is what, and why the translation is such and such, like a sort of text analysis. That's why I said short text, otherwise it would get too long. If someone who knows better finds mistakes, they can point them out. I'm afraid we need to use romaji (i.e. Latin characters). I know it's terrible, and it's not real Japanese but I noticed a sort of bug, sometimes I posted words in Japanese just for fun and after a while, coming back to that page, it was all messy and unreadable (unicode or similar encoding problems in the forums?) And also not everyone knows a lot or kanji, some beginners might not be able to read even hiragana or katakana scripts. Maybe we can add 2 lines, jp + reading below. Anyway, that's my idea, hopefully someone is interested... suggestions are welcome, and also if some total beginner needs advice on how to start learning I can help (who cannot do teaches, as they say ^^) 以上 [いじょう - ijou]... that's all for now

So, I was watching Bleach again after a little pause, of course I watch it with English subtitles, or I won't understand it at all. Coming to the question: I heard that guy Urahara clearly saying 『あたし』 (atashi, in case the font doesn't work), now is a man supposed to say that, or he is a bit 'weird'? Is there a chance that a japanese male speaker would say あたし? And why I am there, I often hear characters saying things like じゃねえ, うるせえ, etc. but in a dictionary I only find うるさい, is that standard Japanese or not? Thanks

CJ Entertainment Japan and Toei have released the first trailer for upcoming $28 million World War II epic, “My Way“, starring Japanese actor Odagiri Joe and South Korean actor Jang Dong Gun. The film was directed by South Korean director Kang Je Gyu (“Shiri”, “Taegukgi – Brotherhood”), who was inspired by an old photograph of an Asian person wearing a German uniform during the war and backtracked the person’s 12,000 km long trek to Europe. However, more than a story of war, “My Way” lays its focus on the deep bond between two men. During their childhood, they started as rivals with the dream of winning the marathon at the Olympics. With the outbreak of World War II, they were both forced to enter the military. Hasegawa Tatsuo (Odagiri Joe) comes from a militaristic family and was proud to serve his country, but Kim Jun Shik (Jang Dong Gun), who is a servant of the Hasegawa family, actually didn’t want to go to war. During their harsh and long journey from Asia, through Siberia, to Normandy, they end up not only wearing the Japanese uniform, but also the uniforms of the Soviet Union and Germany. The climax of the film happens towards the end at the Battle of Normandy. It took the production team more than three months to prepare the large-scale set. Moreover, 2,300 extras and state-of-the-art filming equipment were used to capture the intensity of the battlefield. “My Way” is going to open in Japan on January 14th. http://youtu.be/eNmZmjH_ouU
