This title also means "Then, English wasn't fun".

Honestly, foreign languages were totally boring for me when I was a student. We have to study English as a required subject at school in Japan though, I wasn't interested in it at all.

I could say, I was brought up in surroundings that was filled the very Western cultures and English things.

I've got a question from several people.
"What does wwwwww mean in Japanese?"

What do you think?
"ww would be world war." Yes, you're right.
"www would be world wide web." I agree. You are correct.
"wwww would be ; We won't win Warszawa." I suppose Feliks will make your capital be Warszawa.
But, how about wwwwwwwwwww? There are too many "w"!

First of all I must say, this post isn't useful to learn Japanese. Because this post is about not Japanese but the Himaruya language!
You know, Hetalia is filled unique expressions. Now I try to explain unique Himaruya terms on this entry.

Do you think Google translator is capable? I think so and not.

Actually I thought it was so useless before. Because I couldn't understand what it meant when an internet translator translated some sentences in foreign language into Japanese.

You can see how terrible translation it made on niconico. Those videos were made of translations by internet ( Read more... )

非常に悲しい事実ですが、日本人は「すごく英語が下手だ」ということで有名です…。
アメリカで「英語が下手なアジア人＝日本人」だと思われているくらい、日本人は英語が下手らしいです。

でも、真実はそうではないと思います。
日本人は、英語が下手なのではなく、外国語全般が下手なのです。

I told you Japanese has many words of the first person, and each of them sound different on Boyish? Girlish?.
俺(ore) and 僕(boku) sound manly (or boyish), and 私(watashi) sounds womanly(or girlish).

In this way, Japanese has many ways of expressions to tell whether you are like masculine or feminine. On this entry, I wrote about inflection in that ( Read more... )

Japanese has many words of the first person, in a word, many "I".

私（わたし/watashi）、あたし(atashi)、僕（ぼく/boku）、俺（おれ/ore）、自分（じぶん/jibun）、うち(uchi)、わし(washi)、おら(ora)、拙者（せっしゃ/sessha）、小生（しょうせい/shousei）、某（なにがし/nanigashi）、我(われ/ware)、我輩(わがはい/wagahai)、当方(とうほう/touhou)、俺様(おれさま/oresama)……

All these words mean "I"! How creepy!! But it's Japanese XD

Japanese and English(and other European languages) have many differences.
I think in English when I use English. It's so tough to think in Japanese when I speak English. The differences are so huge and to translate is also difficult...

I think one of big differences between Japanese and English is "there is" and "have(or get)".
