Japanese Club!

[fairywaif]

I just joined the Japanese club at my school. Doing this reminds of a song I sang in elementary..
Ohiyo gezimuz (I'm spelling the way they're pronounced, sorry...)
genke desu ka
moshi (something...) ru...
Konichiwa!(Repeat)  

[Ragnius]

lucky!

we only have spanish and french clubs out my town's HS

and i didnt join either one

and was hot-headed i had to take one or the other to graduate

i love Japanese,

the language, and their culture are just so amazing, i myself dont know much on how to speak it, but if i took a course on it, i'm sure i'd make a good grade everytime i got graded  

[Masoufle]

Japan is so awsome but i'm not even from Japan!! TT-TT so sad!!

yeah, we had spainish and french here......... i think i was maybe supposed to have one to graduate, but i never did take one and i graduated anyway.... so either im mistaken, or they screwed up. and knowing my school it is probably the latter of the two....hehehe.... oh well. i also know they would never admit to it. not my high school.

but more importantly............... flippin' awesome triforce!!!!!

That song confuses me...

Ohaiyoo Gozaimasu=Good Morning
Genki desu ka=How are you
Moshi(blank)ru Might be greeting
Konichiwa=Good afternoon

I think one greeting is enough sweatdrop

V's too lazy to join his Japanese Club  

[azrael the reaper_95210]

me and my friends basically were the equivalanbt of a japanese club. every morning we always met up in the lunchroom. several of us took an interest in learning, and thus we looked into it and taught each other different stuff......  

[His Secret Shadow]

At our school you have to take Spanish because it's the only course they offer and you need it to graduate and go to college
It sucks

Luckily my 2 spanish teachers didn't teach us anything and let us go on our laptops all class so we could "translate" the work.  

[Kani Jalo]

Japan can be fun - right now I'm taking a course on Eastern Civiliztions, and the focus is on Japan and China.

The only 'solid' language taught at my school is Spanish, but there is also spoken French and Italian available; and recently, Arabic.

The last sparked a really fun controversy here.  

[Zilerate]

at my school we have japanese offered. I'm a second year at the moment.. it's alot of fun ^_^

I took Japanese all for years of high school, but I'm forgetting a lot of what I've learned. crying Shiku shiku!
Ohaiyo gozaimasu (Good morning)
genki desu ka (How are you?)

Has ne1 noticed that anime characters don't say Konnichiwa! any more? Instead they'll say Hi! but with an accent.

I'm gonna be doing a course in japanese next year for two years  

[King Hoshi]

I am currently taking Japanese as my elective in high school. I plan to go at at it for all four years and up into college as well.

Here are some basic vocabulary terms I learned since some schools teach different things:

おはよう。- A way to say "Good morning".
おはようございます。- A more respectful term for "Good morning".
こんにちは。- "Good afternoon."
こんばんは。- "Good evening."
ありがとう。- A way to say "Thank you".
ありがとうございました。- A more respectful way to say "Thank you".
ぼくは- The topic of the sentence at the beginning for "I" used by boys.
わたしわ- The topic of the sentence at the beginning for "I" used by girls, but in certain situations boys would also say this instead of 「ぼくは...」.
