You are absolutely right about German - it sounds like you are very angry or something... It's the best language for giving the orders! I like to watch American films with German synchronisation - it is the best! :)))) Japanese also sound aggressive, or they pronounce it like that; "Okatama" (Mommy) gentle word with "K" and "T" as hard letters. Chinese are stretching the words like Bruce Lee in fight, Arabic people are choking themselves out... I like french language, it's soft, it has a certain melody, it is the best for expressing love. Every language is "good" for some situations, but there's none who is good for all. I think Hungarian is the hardest language to understand, when they start to talk, I get dizzy.\nFor years I wonder how does Serbian sound to other people, and it's probably brljrljmljlj because there are so many lj and zh and other. I wanted to ask this question, you thief! :)

In Japanese, there is a phonetic character set (two, actually) called kana, consisting of 46 symbols each. There are only 46 distinct syllable sounds in the Japanese language. Japanese computers typically have a keyboard with each of these 46 characters mapped out. Alternatively, you can use the Roman alphabet to spell out these 46 sounds.\n\nChinese can also be entered phonetically. There are also some input methods that involve entering a character piece by piece, since complex Chinese characters are often composed of smaller, distinct pieces. This entry method can be supported with a relatively simple keyboard of 24 keys, each of which represents one or more of these pieces.

Mandarin and Taiwanese are the primary languages. The further south you go, the more Taiwanese and less Mandarin you will here. Hakka is also still spoken within certain communities, as well as some indigenous languages.\n\nWhile there are a fair amount of people who understand Japanese and Cantonese, it is quite unlikely that you will hear these spoken.

Um, if you mean Japanese character lessons, there's a really good online place.\n\nhttp://www.ic.nanzan-u.ac.jp/SHUBUNKEN/publications/miscPublications/pdf/RK4/RK4-00.pdf#search='remember%20Kanji'\n^ It's a PDF file, but it's actually part of a book by James W. Heisig. This is like the first third of the book.

Japanese is without question the most daunting language for a native English speaker to tackle, according to Brecht. "I would like to learn Japanese but I don't have enough time in my lifetime. That's very depressing," says the linguist, whose center is based at Hopkins's Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). He notes that the State Department allows its students three times as long to learn Japanese as it does languages like Spanish or French.\n\nAs Brecht explains it, the challenge with Japanese is threefold. First, there's the fact that the Japanese written code is different from the spoken code. "Therefore, you can't learn to speak the language by learning to read it," and vice versa. What's more, there are three different writing systems to master. The kanji system uses characters borrowed from Chinese. Users need to learn 10,000 to 15,000 of these characters through rote memorization; there are no mnemonic devices to help. Written Japanese also makes use of two syllabary systems: kata-kana for loan words and emphasis, and hira-gana for spelling suffixes and grammatical particles.\n\nGet beyond that and you're faced with a culture that, says Brecht, is "truly foreign for most Americans." With many languages, students start by learning introductions (Comment-allez vous? Trs bien, merci, et vous?) "But with Japanese, you can't even begin to do that with lesson one because of the social distinctions involved in making introductions," says Brecht. Age, social status, gender--"all these sociological factors make it so complicated that introductions can't be the first lesson," he notes.\n\nFinally, there's the issue of grammar. In English syntax, grammar is right branching. We set a topic and then comment upon it: "I saw the man who was sitting on the red chair, which was sitting beside the door." Japanese syntax is left branching-- "totally contrary to our approach," says Brecht. Thus, the sentence above becomes something along the lines of: "I saw the red, which was the chair, which was....." You get the idea.\n\nWhile exceedingly difficult, mastering Japanese is not impossible for English speakers, Brecht concedes. "There are thousands of students in our classes at SAIS who learn to function in Japan. It takes really good students and a lot of devotion."

Japan had no writing system of their own until Buddhist monks introduced them to Chinese kanji around the 6th century. They started borrowing the Chinese characters and slowly adapted the meanings and pronunciations to fit the Japanese language. That's why they have kun-yumi (Japanese readings) and on-yumi (Chinese readings). I believe only men were taught kanji at first, since they believed it was too complicated for women to learn. It was considered very masculine.\n\nHiragana evolved from kanji, as kind of a cursive shorthand that was considered ok for women to use. (The first Japanese novels were written in hiragana, by court women.) Men rarely used hiragana because they said it was a woman's style. They were mainly used for writing particles and words that had no kanji representation along with the kanji. And as you know, it's now used for native Japanese words as well.\n\nKatakana is basically an even more shorthand version of hiragana. Since it's not curvy, it's very easy to write quickly. I think scholars developed it for that reason. Now it's mainly used to emphasize certain words, and to show foreign origin and also to write onomatopoeia.  \n\nA lot of people think kanji should be done away with because it's so hard, but that would cause a lot of comprehension problems since so many words are pronounced the same but have different kanji. It would actually make the language even more difficult to read.\n\nI hope that helps.\n\n\n\n\n(Next time, you should categorize questions like this under Society & Culture > Languages.)

there is no program to do it, and there's no easy way.\nmethod 1) ask a person who reads japanese\nmethod 2) figure out what characters are in the picture and use an online translator like world.altavista.com or other site

best/easiest is to install the Japanese input IME (must have your original Windows XP CD, and do the following:\n\nControl Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Install Files for East Asian Languages\nand\nControl Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Details->Add->Japanese\n\nyou will hafta reboot, then learn to use the IME.\n\nor you can just ask me to do it.. ;-)\n\nYou can then input any Japanese (kana and kanji) in almost any application (graphics and word processors included), as well as view Japanese websites.  This is how I have been entering/creating Japanese text within graphics programs, web sites, and Flash.  \n\nYou probably want something like this:\nhttp://www.torimoto.net\n\nFeel free to contact me if you'd like help.

First of all, there are no Japanese words that begin with Q, V, X. Those letters/sounds do not naturally exist in the Japanese language. You can kind of imitate the "V" sound with katakana sometimes, but there aren't any good words that come to mind. Usually they just represent that sound with B's.  \n\nFor the rest, umm....\n\nZuan - sketch, design\n\nEi - stingray\n\nFujimi - immortality\n\nImotou - younger sister　\n\nPanko - bread crumbs\n\nReianshitsu - morgue

Japanese partly uses Chinese characters (which in Japanese are called Kanji) and partly uses two syllabaries called Katakana and Hiragana.\n\nOther languages of Chinese origin other than Mandarin Chinese also use Chinese characters (e.g. Cantonese, Hakka).  These are often all called "Chinese" but in fact their spoken forms are actually quite different and often not mutually intelligable.\n\nVietnamese and Korean used to use Chinese characters until quite recently, but do not any more.  Vietnamese now has a latin-based alphabet and Korean now just uses a Korean-specific syllabary (they are *not* ideograms - they directly reflect the sounds of the language).\n\nAlso (to correct something written above) Thai has its own alphabet - that's not ideograms either.\n\nAs far as I know, no other ideograms other than Chinese characters are used in languages spoken today (and strictly speaking, they're not all "ideograms" either!)

yes...surely can. I can speak in English, Malay, Japanese, Arabic and French fluently...It's a matter of practice and perseverence (though I nearly give up studying Japanese...the kanjis are kiliing me)

Erm... this is weird.  The last character is not Chinese, it looks Korean.  Sorry but I don't understand the characters except for the first one, 談.  It means "to talk about / to discuss".

I can trasnlsate it better than babelfish only because I lived in Japan quite a long time, and had a very long term relationship with a Japanese woman. brettkun@verizon.net
