It's interesting how people already claim to speak or write Japanese well.  I forget who but someone said they knew it in a thread a few months ago.  I lived in Hawaii for many years and traveled regularly to Japan for fun and business.  I hit that person up with some phonetic Japanese (in English, I can't write hiragana or kanji on here) and they went silent.

I love languages and I missed the boat being a translator.  I speak some average Spanish, I speak Japanese and English extremely well, and I would like to learn Arabic next.  I have some audio CDs from the U.S. Army learning academy with Arabic translations but that doesn't get one very far.   I need to practice and learn by talking to people.

I also think the Al Bhed from Final Fantasy X is a great answer.  Cactuar is brilliant.

warmaker : I haven't learned the advance ones yet so I learn how I wish. And as I go along as well, I will get there. But, for now there's no need for me to rush. I knew how to say but, was not able to write down all of the words. I knew some words to write down but not all. This was something I should had done ages ago but, had to struggle for what I was looking for. In order to help me to learn it.

Laian : Free Chinese lessons? That's pretty cool, I wish my school would have free Chinese or Italian lessons. How long did the lessons took then? And you don't have to teach me Italian, but it would be nice if I knew something easy things as ordering in a restaurant, buying stuff or greetings. I know a few things though. 

warmaker : Am I the only one here who doesn't know Al Bhed or something? Could you tell more about it? Also, Arabic huh? Nice you know proper Japanese, people take you more serious if you speak a language very well. When my mom just learned Italian she went to Milan for a long time, and that caused her to make her Italian even better. At some point she said her dreams got Italian too  
I'll fry you with my crimson flames!

juuldude :
Usually, you must pay the lessons, I agree so I was surprised when I saw that. It was hard to believe but it was totally free. Now, as far as I can remember, it was 1 hour a week and I stayed there at this camping with my parents for 3 weeks, which means a total of 3 hours. That's better than nothing, enough to learn a bit of Chinese.

juuldude : I know a few words, but they aren't like "Hi, how are you?" and stuff. For example, laway (lao-wi) means saliva or spit. Also, I think you meant "Hola, ¿cómo estás?", because "Bien, de donde eres?" translates to "Well, where are you?"

Laian : 3 hours? That's not long, but you probably know some basics There are different types of Chinese too, did you know which one you learned?

Kuti_Kat : Ai, then I have forgotten what it really meant. Thanks for telling me though How did you find out about the word laway?

Eniitan : You did a great job spelling phonetically what you wanted to say.  I understood it.  Sometimes the translation gets wonky because the English language doesn't always have the right enunciation to convey what the Japanese speaker is saying.

Keep practicing.  You're doing wonderfully.

I am going to pick Polish because one side of my family is Polish but I never got a chance to learn the language or even hear it more than once in my life.

juuldude : No need. My cousin typed in this cool website that can help a lot of people. Minna! Have a look at it! This website can help you. My cuz showed it to me yesterday you can learn any languages that you want. Simply sign up, its free. Then brows whatever languages you wanna learn! Then you will see a list of categorize of how you what to learn. And what type of sections you want to learn from that culture! I suggest you write down first in notebook before taking the tests. Because that would mean you have to type out in spelling as well! Its so enjoyable. It will help you, and will surprise you when you least expect it. ^-^

Kuti_Kat : I tend to forget words too over time, it's natural I learned English at a young age and I've been able to speak it properly when I was around 8. I still made and make some mistakes though, but I was able to read small English things which made me very happy

Eniitan : Arigatou gosaimasu Enii! I'm definitely going to take a look at it when I have the time, if I could learn Italian this way it could be amazing!

zanderlex : Oh, then I didn't understood correct. How long did you live with them?

juuldude : When I was learning. I found out the correct spellings to most things like...

Sayonara < the correct spelling is sayounara

Arigatou gozaimasu < is arigato gozaimasu

And gomennasai has two N's instead of 1.

Laian : The Chinese zodiac signs are really cool, I like them more than the European ones. My mother also learnt Mandarin Chinese since it's the most common form of Chinese.

Eniitan : I heard from someone it's arigatou instead of arigato. Are you sure about it? But maybe that guy might be wrong too. And thanks for telling me about the spelling from the Japanese things you learned ^-^

Well, not German. We learn that in school but I'd much rather learn French, or ancient Greek actually, I'd love to learn something like that.

Hey.....you can also say sayonara. But, I think the formal way to say it would be sayounara. I keep on looking to learn more as I progress.

Light Knight : Chotto onii-chan! Miru doko made, sono watashi mananda japanese. ^-^

Chotto is the only hey I know in Japanese for now....there are other ways of saying hey. What I said to Light may be my longest sentence so far. ^^

Try and guess what I said to onii-chan. Only a few others like warmaker would know. ^-^

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
