Re: Fun with Japanese
Didn't know where else to put this and don't think this PAGAN forum for PAGANS needs any more bloomin' Japanese threads. I really want to share some cool videos that Wes at Gengo no Tabi made (that's who I address in Japanese on my youtube vid). They don't get nearly the attention they deserve considering the amount of effort he puts into making them. So for a fun and playful way to learn or just practise your listening, check these out. They use plenty of casual style too, which is good for those who want to get away from 'watashi wa teineigo niwa unzari desu'* style sentences!
Don't go full screen or it is a pain, because it relies on you making selections on the screen!
My favourite is this one. It's a lot of fun (if Japanese gets ya going), it's vast, and I learnt some cool ways to insult people that I didn't know before, so that was cool.
Please, please check them out and have a play around. Like I say, Wes and his collaborators have worked really hard on these videos. It's possible that we might work on a few projects together in the future too, and I'll of couse keep you posted if this comes up.
Douzo, tanoshinde kudasai!
*this says 'I'm sick of polite style language' and is written in polite style language. teehee, see what I did there?

Haha, I just read that stuff I wrote in Japanese ages ago and found mistakes. For a start, the te form of narau is naratte. I wonder how many more I'll spot this time next year? ^^
