Aren't I special?

Yes, You are special. (^^;
How did you get that?

Aren't I.... I haven't heard that.....
But It looks like the sentence is correct.
 
the sentence is correct, but it's a silly way of saying it..
you probably wouldnt use that kind of stuff in an essay or something important

also, I got it way back when www.com was giving out free web-based e-mail (just like hotmail)... I don't know how it is now, but back then you didn't need to have a hotmail to register an msn passport..so I registered mine on that mail.. and everyone either asks "is this right?" or corrects me "you mean @hotmail, because this can't be right" ^_^
 
Aren't they/you/
Isn't she/he/it
Aren't I

O.K. Thanks! I have to remember that.
I think I've heard that before.(^^:
I've forgotten that, because I don't use that a lot.

The site looks very nice. But It looks the service is not free now, though it is cheap.
But I don't have a credit card.

you're good at this stuff ^_^

my sentence was slightly silly (imho), but used in a normal sentence like "Isn't she going to buy those shoes?" it's a perfectly normal sentence people use all the time ^_^

Feel free to add me to your buddy list as well if you like; my screenname's fixelbrumpf. I may be German, but I study English, so I can teach you as well. I've been working very hard on my English in the last few years and I'm told I write and speak English almost like a native speaker now.

I started taking Japanese classes in college last semester and did really well in the exam at the end of the term, but my Japanese's still pretty horrible and I can only understand simple phrases. 窶愿ｺ窶怒ﾅ津ｪ窶堙坂?怒窶懌?凪?堙
窶愿ｯ窶堋ｵ窶堋｢窶堙??堋ｷ窶堙ｦﾂ。 >_<

I have quite a bunch of American and British chat friends by now, but I haven't been able to find any Japanese speakers who are into chatting.

Feel free to message me whenever you want. 窶堋ｶ窶堙｡?窶堙仰！
 
I wish i had the guts to learn japanese ^^'
but english's already consumming all the time i have left -_-
 
hey! i can help!!!!!! i know english and japanese...(some) hashi ga tsukaeru yo!
 
でも・・・日本語がとってもむずかしい・・・
 
Hi, dreamer and eternal_dreamz.

Eternal_dreamz:
Yeah, People who can use English and Japanese are very helpful for me. (^^; hehe

dreamer:
Hehe, I'm teaching some my friends Japanese language on AIM.
So, I could help you.(I may help you. or Maybe I can help you.)
Are these sentences the same meaning? I have no confidence in these sentences. hehe.

I know Japanese language is so difficult.... There are a lot of slang sentences.
So, sometimes That makes me difficult to teach my friends the language.. hehe.

I'm exchanging emails with a friend(or my one friend?) for now.
So, Emailing may be very nicer than chatting on AIM.
Because We have time to translate, think, and write.
But I don't have any topics every day.(^^; So, Actually I think that is not nice.

I have a lot of AIM friends. But I think I can still talk with somebody.
Feel free to add me to your buddies list of AIM, or to send me an email.
If you like to use ICQ, please send a message by AIM, I will launch the app.

Oh, wait a minute. My friends on AIM has some problems...
If you are Windows users, you can't use Japanese language on AIM.
My friends who are using Japanese with AIM accounts are using Gaim.
But my friend said that can't transfer files.(^^;
Pidgin

See ya.
 
Hi Mac
Actually i've never learnt japanese and am learning english for about 7 years (same for german). I learnt only by watching animes and might wanna learn more japanese someday. ^^
Anyway, messenger can handle unicode contrary to icq or aim, so maybe you should try it
 
and I also want to ask you that can you see japanese in MSN messanger?

Mostly this depends on the operating system and the Locale installed. If you have windows xp, it has alll this checked during installation, so you will be able to view kana rightaway, as well as other languages such as chinese trad/simp, and korean.

ax
 
yep. Gaim works great for typing in in japanese! Mac helped me out loads as i was stuck trying to get AiM to swap to hiragana and katakana.

i like using iChat for typing in japanese. it looks purdy.

Porl''
 
ACtually i don't even know why mac needs help -_-
he might even be better than me...
 
@Mac

There is another forum at which Japanese people ask questions about English and English speakers ask questions about Japanese at Japanese Online. It seems that all questions (either about Japanese or English) elicit quite a few responses and sometimes debate, which can be good for the native speakers as well. If you would like another place to practice English and ask questions, I recommend doing so there. では、また。英語の勉強を頑張ってね！

A good site, but the bulletin board design needs work.

Indeed it does, but I can deal with it. Well, aside from having to set the encoding every time you go there, not being able to edit messages, not being able to add any tags, etc., it's not so bad.
 
Thank you everyone.

Dear Porl, (^^;

It has been a long time. 窶ｹv窶堋ｵ窶堙披?堙ｨﾂ！

I'm sorry....I missed you, Porl....
My sleep schedule has changed a lot!
But I can talk with you when you finished your work and you are at home.

I hope to talk you soon, Porl.

------------------------------------------------------------

Dear dreamer.

Sorry! I couldn't talk you after you leaved.
Maybe I was sleeping. (^^;
So I have to wait to launch ICQ until I get an app.
It must be a long way. I'm really sorry.
But I may launch ICQ some day.

By the way....These days...I got confused a lot! while I'm chatting with my friends.
Even then with you, Dreamer. Even now....hehe.
I don't know why.....(^^; And I've changed my online dictionary.....
so my reply will be so slow.

My English dictionary book contains some examples.
But sometimes it doesn't contain those.
So I asked my friend yesterday like...Can I use "As you may know" and "As you know"?
I knew those meanings. But I have no confidence in those. so I asked my friend.
And if there is no body on my aim buddy list, I'm going to launch
MSN, ICQ or send an email to my one friend.
And also If I've got another so difficult questions, I will post the questions in this forum.

I hope to talk you soon, Dreamer.

To Glenn-san

Thank you so much.
I'll check the site later.
 
Hi mac long time no see ^^
Well i'm waiting for you on my IMs
 

窶堋ｱ窶堙ｱ窶堙俄?堋ｿ窶堙債 ﾆ筑ﾆ鍛ﾆ誰ﾂ。 ^_^ hehe i noticed you werent on iChat. I'll keep it turned on incase you log on. im still writing out my Makku japanese lessons. I didnt realise you taught me so much!!

ﾆ稚ﾆ椎?ﾆ誰ﾆ椎?

窶捍ﾅ端Mac,
I'm sorry that I wasn't of much help last time, but you just caught me off gaurd. from the last time, I don't know if I told you the right meaning of the phrase "I was using the bathroom". Maybe this will help out more.. feces: 窶｢ﾃ鳴 ﾂ（窶壺?啼n)
Alright it's now time for the "How and Whyﾂ" of English and Japanese..
窶ｰpﾅ津ｪ窶ｹy窶堙鯛?愿ｺ窶怒ﾅ津ｪ窶堙娯?堋｢窶堋ｩ窶堙俄?堋ｻ窶堋ｵ窶堙??堙遺?堋ｺﾂ。

窶堙坂?堋ｶ窶堙懌?堋ｵ窶堙?。Hajimashite (lit. it's the first time we meet)
窶堙??堋､窶堋ｼ窶堙ｦ窶堙ｫ窶堋ｵﾂ・ﾂ。Douzo yoroshiku (lit. please regard me favorably)
these's are the two greeting phrases that most people have trouble in the begining to understand.
And for non native English speakers... some of the most common expressions of greetings are so much not fully understood... and some times native English speakers from other nations find it hard to understand eachother too.

Example:
America: "I need to go to the restroom/bathroom."
Ausies: "I need to go to the dunie/toilit"

Other phrases are: "Hi" which is sometimes heard as "high", so the understanding is lost right there. "Yo", "S'up/W'sup", "Hey" "How are you?" (with the p窶塒?ase "How are you?" isn't really a question that is ment to be really answered at all, just say "Fine, thanks!" or one of the other greetings even "How are you?")

Added to the lexacon of American English is "otaku ﾆ棚ﾆ耽ﾆ誰ﾂ" which means to them is "Anime/manga fan" aka "fanboy/fangirl", but the real meaning of otaku is "fanatic" or easier to understand is "fan of...". Such as "manga no otaku" (fan of manga(magazines/comicbooks)).
 
Hi! (^-^)/ Kaleikuiha.

You just caught me off guard.
?*窶堙遺?堋ｽ窶堙債寝窶堙ｦ窶堋､窶堙??堋ｵ窶堙??堋｢窶堋ｽﾅｽ窶樞?堙ｰﾅ陳ｩ窶卍｣窶堙≫?堙??堋｢窶堋ｽﾂ。 (^^;

Were you going to go to sleep? Oh, sorry.:sorry: You should have said that.(^^;

I was using bathroom! Ohh...I remembered and knew it.
bathroom = toilet (^^;
But How did you say when you were taking a bath.
I was taking a bath. I was taking a shower. :?

I will look our chat log of last time.

BYE.
 
here's a pretty interesting thing... most people new to english will have problems with this...

the were-we're-where problem

where = location [inquisitive] (ex - where did I park my car?)
we're = we are (ex - we're hiding in the bushes)
were = past tense of "are" [inquisitive] (ex - were you hiding in the bushes?)

as far as I know, there are no exceptions

just thought i'd mention it.. just in case
