Knowing the base word is fine, yes, but I believe knowing the tenses and how to use them properly is more important =\

like

oishii = delicious
oishikatta = was delicious
oishikunai = Not delicious
oishikunakatta = was not delicious

There's no future tense in japanese though. Present and future tense are shared I believe.

I would think so. If you plan on doing something in the near future, you'd use "will" as in "I will do [something]".

I can say a few words in japanese.I learned by watching subbed anime,haha.

You guys are good at Japanese! I don't know how to say anything in Japanese. How did you guys learn?

Some of us have classes and some are self-taught.

And then there is me, who is doing a whole freaking degree in Japanese

Shoot me now

That's a lot of trouble, dude! A degree?! Damn...

Good luck to you, man. Seriously. But, I think you'll do just fine.

You're gonna be better at this than I'll ever be.

Thanks, only two and a half more years to go ....





Seriously though, if get the chance to study Japanese at university, you should take it

.....

Holy sugar dudes, that's a long time to go...then again, it is a degree we're talking about here.

I'm planning on extending my studies in college and maybe take up a translating job at the airport for tourists, but that might not be possible from what I can figure out at the moment. A bit early to say the least.

Baby steps mate

When it comes to studying Japanese and finding a job where you an use it or even work in Japan, it's best to take it one step at a time

i know a bit of filipino, but i understand it better than i can speak it. but i do wanna learn japanese... home of anime

I know some filipino language...not a whole lot

I self-teach japanese....I use some words..not all...but I mainly learn from song lyrics and anime subtitles! Go translations!

Tamis ang itlog <_<;

i can speak portuguese, english, spanish, french and want to learn japanese!

English is my native language of course, ho ho ho. I started teaching myself Japanese many years ago... eight? No, nine? Anyway, it probably really didn't count until I got into high school and started putting my butt in gear, so it's more like six years. My school never offered classes in it, and community colleges kept cancelling theirs. So there's been pros and cons to doing it all myself, but in the end, I enjoyed the route I took and think I came out okay.

I also took six years of Spanish throughout middle school and high school. They were AP credits in high school, too, but since I ended up going to an art college, they really didn't come in handy. And because I don't practice Spanish, I've forgotten most of it.

I also started teaching myself Mandarin Chinese a couple years back, but I didn't keep up with it because of the workload involved in animation (and my preference to translate Japanese stuff XD), so I remember next to nothing.

I wish I could do a double major and get some kind of degree in language, because at this point, I'm totally ready to pick up a job as a translator on the side. But as it turns out, you need a degree for that. Which is kind of pointless, I say. Just test me to see if know the language, and then hire me! Geez! They make such good money. But I don't have the cash or time to do it, so perhaps someday in the future. For now, an animator I be!

(Sorry that was long. Whoo!)

it's cool!
