May 5th, 2011 7:02 PMMegaSlowBro.She said it mostly in a bad way, but she also said that if you do use it - just be careful. xD
Yeah :D -
May 5th, 2011 2:44 AMs0nidoDid she mention it in good light? Like, did she/he say that it was good or bad? XD;
It'd be good for you as a back-up for your course. :3 -
May 2nd, 2011 6:27 PMMegaSlowBro.Yeah xD It's funny how my teacher mentioned Google Translate today, just thought I'd throw that in xP
Really? I haven't really checked it out haha I'll look at it when summer vacation starts. -
May 1st, 2011 1:42 PMs0nidoThe other thing about translators is that they usually translate each sentence alone so then the whole thing just looks weird. -.-
Yeah, it's mainly just to get people to a basic level. It has kanji lessons as well. :O -
May 1st, 2011 7:52 AMMegaSlowBro.Yeah, sometimes I type stuff in and see what'll come out - just for my amusement xD
That's true, considering that kanji is also used/seen more often that just straight hiragana. d: Yeah, it's probably just a stepping stone so that you can start to look for more Japanese lessons. -
May 1st, 2011 4:05 AMs0nidoJust saying, the translator usually fails. XD; The best thing to do is learn the said language as well as you can and it'll be right. :3
Well it's hard to teach a language like Japanese in such a small game, so, considering there were only 100 lessons, I did pretty well. XD; I think I could've gotten to speaking level if I continued and then I could've done some kind of after-school class to continue my Japanese learning further. :3 -
April 30th, 2011 5:59 PMMegaSlowBro.Yeah, so I always check it to make sure >.<
Really? I found that my classes were easier to understand than how the game did it xD I still didn't finish it, so I'll probably do it over the summer for review and other things. -
April 29th, 2011 12:14 AMs0nidoUsually when that happens what you're trying to say is completely changed. -.- One time, I got fed up with an Arabic essay (since I didn't know Arabic [but I had to do it since they had no other language available -.-]) so I google-translated the whole thing. The teacher said it made no sense. XDD
I found it pretty good, actually. The problem was that it was crammed into just 100 lessons, which I found very little to do. The developers should have extended it over 300 lessons or so to make it more effective. -
April 28th, 2011 9:56 PMMegaSlowBro.Haha yeah, but then I feel great when I write something first and it comes out the way it should when its translated x3
Oh, I have that game too - got it before I started taking Japanese). I don't use it as much, but it helps me study and see how much I've learned.
I know right? :D -
April 26th, 2011 2:11 AMs0nidoI do that with everything. Sometimes I feel guilty because I'm really not learning anything by Google-translating stuff. XD;
I didn't learn that much. I learned with My Japanese Coach on DS and only got through about a third of the course. And then I forgot half of what I learned. XD;
That's awesome. :O You'd get to go all over if you get into the right positions. Like, if you worked as some kind of translator for international delegates, you could go places. :3 I envy you even more. XD; -
April 25th, 2011 2:09 PMMegaSlowBro.Haha, I always double/triple/nonstop check the translation just to make sure its the says the same thing in both languages, sometimes its so different from what it actually means xD
That sucks D: It looks like you learned a lot though - you should keep learning Japanese when you have the time :D
Yeah, I'm thinking of becoming a linguist or translator later on [: -
April 25th, 2011 3:58 AMs0nidoI understood it (with the help of Google Translate XDDD).
Well I'd finished my Indonesian exams and it was the end of the school year, so I thought I'd try studying some Japanese until we started the Indonesian course again for real. But then we started Indonesian again and I couldn't continue Japanese. ;;
You should continue Japanese. It's an amazing language. I envy you. :3 -
April 24th, 2011 8:47 PMMegaSlowBro.Oh haha xD I just said:
A little. I study Japanese at school How about you? :D
That's pretty cool xD Were you taking both at the same time? >.< I've studied Japanese for a year already haha I'm probably gonna keep learning after HS though. -
April 24th, 2011 8:25 PMs0nidocrap I can't speak it that well XDD
I studied Japanese for a few months then I had to stop because I had to focus on Indonesian, which I'm studying at school. I can understand simple sentences, but nothing too complicated. XD; How long have you studied Japanese? :O -
April 24th, 2011 6:43 PMMegaSlowBro.すこしです。がっこうで日本語をべんきょうします。あなたはどうですか? :D
