Gonna correct Tozaa then, n__ñ...japanese has a weird pronunciation, but at least I'm finding it more interesting than my failed attempt at learning german.
Ganbatte kudasai, heard that one before.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but once at this anime I heard the characters introducing each other with "domo" (?) is my imagination or it's a less formal way than konnichiwa?
Great, now we've wandered off into Silent Hill. :/

Also, there was this little mouse-like animal stuck in the window. It came out of a tunnel it had made in the snow, but was stuck there. I was about to go out and take it out, but it climbed the cement and jumped/fell on the top of the snow and disappeared. I was all "OMG SO KEWT".![]()
Japanese pronunciation isn't so bad once you get used to it, I don't think.Every syllable sound is always said in the same way, no matter where it occurs in a sentence, and there's almost no frustrating silent letters to deal with.
; I guess it's just a matter of programming your brain to read Japanese words as Japanese. It certainly took language-inept me a while to get to grips with. But...you've already learned English, so... I'm sure you'll have less trouble.
And you probably got 'tozaa' from the way it's said quickly in anime.You might not really hear the 'n' on the end, the 's' and 'z' sounds blend kind of close together in quick speech, and the 'o' is really just an honorific, and is often dropped.
And yes, domo can sometimes be a greeting too.It's kind of a difficult word to give a direct equivalent to in English, since it's used for so many different things.

Oh, and 'ganbatte kudasai' is 'please do your best'. It's...a really common phrase. Though that's kind of a polite way of saying it. It pops up most often as 'ganbare!'.![]()
I is back.
I wish I could listen to my music.![]()
