I'm gonna stick to learning a language that I might actually need to use sometime in the future. Like Spanish.
Elin + Venom = Death Incarnate.
True Fact.
Someone like Elin using Venom. Death Incarnate indeed.Quote:

To the left of all the hiragana words are their equivalents in kanji, too. ^_^ Even if you don't know any kanji yet, you might be able to memorise some just by looking at them. A simple and useful one is the first character in 'temadoru'. It's read 'te', and means 'hand'. ^_^
By all means do. I'll stick to learning things for much more frivolous reasons. Such as the fact that I actually find them interesting. ^_^Quote:

Pshaw, you beat me several times with Venom. <_<; Besides, I don't really know the game well enough. I just play it as if it was Street Fighter. Which is sometimes good and sometimes...er...not so good, to put it nicely. ^_^Quote:

Yeah, I'm trying to learn hiragana and katakana first before trying to learn actual words. :P And I'm trying to finish up memorizing "r" and "h" with the "b" and "p", sometimes I get confused with the ten ten (I think those lines that differences between ka and ga) and the little circle that makes them into "p".
So far I only know the kanji of black (kuro) since that would be my last name in japanese. :lol But yeah, I'm trying to pay attention whenever I see one. :nod:
Ah, I finally got it, I have problems to difference the little "yu". >__>
Actually, I managed to memorize "yu" and "ri" because of seeing the hiraganas for Yukari. :wacko:

That, too. :DQuote:

Heh, I have noticed that katakana is less difficult to draw compared to the hiragana, I still remember that I copied the characters from those DBZ games of the SNES.Quote:

I don't find accents so bad, having learned a bit of French. ^_^ And I like the fact that in Spanish, you can omit the subject of a verb most of the time, because it's made obvious by the verb form. I always liked that in Japanese too. ^_^ It never made sense to me that in French, you have to say stuff like 'je suis'. You know by the verb form 'suis' that the subject is going to be 'je', so why bother? ^^;;;Quote:

Anyway, someday I'll try and engage you in conversation in Spanish. It might not be today. It might not be tomorrow. But someday~ Of course...I've been learning French on and off for a couple of years now, and I'm still totally reluctant to try and speak to Evans, so... ^_^ I guess it might be a while before I have the confidence.

Thinking about it now, alot of our matches were kinda like a game of keep the shield away from Ivolt. :wacko:
Yes, katakana is more straight line-y, and maybe easier to adapt to writing. ^_^ Although it can be difficult at first to tell the difference between 'so' and 'n', and 'shi' and 'tsu'. At least...I found it difficult. ^^;;; Eventually it just becomes second nature, though.Quote:

Probably it's because I learned english without proper classes or anything, just from watching the BBC Channel as a kid and ignoring the subtitles (I think that the news were un-subbed but the shows were), so yeah, many times when people studying english ask about me of stuff like "past participle" I don't have any idea of what they're talking about. :P
I guess it's because I'm used to self-taught, same happened with the guitar, english and now Japanese, but I'm thinking that I will need classes for that.
Whenever you feel ready. :nod: I'm not grammar nazi, so don't worry. :wacko:
In spanish we difference the objects by the feminine or masculine sound of it.Quote:

Or if you were referring to a guy who is nicknamed "Naranja" then "El" it's correct. :nod:
At the time, it felt more like 'Try desperately to survive. <_<'. I'm too nervy for fighting games, really.Quote:

Plus you're a lot better at timing supers correctly. >_>;
It's funny speaking to people that don't understand you. You start talking LOUDER. AND. SLOW-ER.
Clearly the second one.Quote:

Hee, no, I'm the same with English really. ^_^ It comes too naturally. My brother did a teaching course in English before he left for Japan, and he asked me a lot of questions. It staggered me just how little I actually knew. ^_^ I mean...I knew everything he asked, but...none of the proper names for any of it. I didn't really pay much attention in school as a kid. I just read a bunch of books. >_>;Quote:

In this case, the "ing" would be a present participle, as it makes the verb "fuck" present tense.
Basically participles are words that change when a verb occurs.

I'd make the world's worst english teacher. :wacko:
Every time some one uses Chun-Li I'm like "Damn her and her legs."Quote:

I lol'd.
You'd giggle whenever you were going through verbs and said 'to come', wouldn't you? ^_^Quote:

I don't know what feeling hit me more upon reading this post. I'm torn between "Gosh, it's pretty shameful to be a monolingual English speaker..." and "Gosh, Fer is completely awesome!"Quote:

I forgot most of the nastier words, but remembered that because I thought it was interesting that they say 'I'm going' where we say 'I'm coming'.

I find that interesting? Gosh I'm a dork. <_<;
