Hey! You finally got the club up! I wanna be co-owner because I'm the one who brought it up in your welcome thread!
Well anyway, I'm currently studying those pesky little particles. I was studying the "o" particle but I may move on today to the "ni" particle after two days of study.
I have several Japanese questions to ask but I gotta get to school!
Ja ne!

I'd be glad to teach members some of the basics. In fact here are a few facts
1. You know how sentences in English are made up of a noun, a verb and an object like "she threw the ball". Well in Japanese, it's a noun, an object and a verb. So it would be "She the ball threw" Of course since Japanese doesn't have "the" in their language, we'd make it "she ball threwl"
Now to try to translate it into Japanese
Note: I have no clue if "she" is supposed to come first or next to last. But hopefully Marillmonster2000 will correct me
-----------------------------------

Kanojo (she) booru (ball) nagetta (threw). Probably in between "booru" and "nagetta" is where the particle "o" goes. And Nagetta may have to be in it's polite form but I dont exactly know what the polite form is. The word "threw" is in it's past tense. If it weren't, it'd be nageru. But past tenses, negative tenses and past negative tenses are a whole different story.

------------------------------------
The writing systems!
First I recomment you learn kana. Kana is made up of two 46 "letterd" alphabets. There are two alphabets: katakana and hiragana. Katakana is for the "English" words like "Pokemon", "Computer and tv which would be Pokemon, kanpyuutaa and terebii. Hiragana is for writing the real Japanese words like "sushi", "kimono", "konnichiwa" yet not "anime". That's because "anime" sort of comes from the French so it's written in (you guessed it!) katakana.
Then there's kanji. But I think my post is long enough.
Hope you have fun learning nihongo!

Just a tip: you dont have to say "watashi wa" every time you wanna say something about yourself... in fact IIRC, it's actually impolite (but that may only apply to saying "kimi wa" aka when you're saying "you" in Japanese)
I had to edit the post for several mistakes

Japanese Scarcely Use The Words "She" Or "He". You'd Probably Say Something Like :

Kono Shounen No Namae Wa Jeshi San Desu. (that boy Of Name is jesse San)
Nihongo Ni Jyouzu Desu (Japanese At Good)
So It's Saying, "That Boy's Name Is Jesse. He's Good At Japanese."
Notice In The Second Sentance, The Japanese Didn't Use He/She/Jesse, It Simply Just Said "Good At Japanese." That's What You Usually Do, If Both The Speaker And the Listener Both Know What Noun They Are Talking About Is, Then They Usually Just Drop The Noun. However, If Someone Just Brought It Up Randomly, They'd Put The Noun In. For Example : Jeshi San Wa Nihongo Ni Jyouzu Desu. (Jesse San Is Japanese At Good, Or Jesse San Is Good At Japanese.) I Hope That Makes Sence XD

いらっしゃいませ、 サンディちゃ� �! ああ。。 おれの日本語はよく� ��い。。 W..
Irasshaimase, Sandi chan??! Aa.. Ore no nihongo wa yoku ? ?? i
That's the romaji of what I see
btw, I heard the word "Jap" was kind of a derogatory word for the Japanese.
btw, Marillmonster, any tips for learning kanji? I know lots of em but I have difficulty getting the pronunciations right. Whenever I think it's sui, it's mizu and when it's sui I think it's mizu.

I Still Can't.

Actually, To Tell You The Truth, I Don't Know That Much Kanji (probably around 150-300). There's A Bunch Of Kanji's I Can Read, But Can't Write.
But Here's What I Do (although i do pick up a lot just from reading them over and over in manga's and stuff):
-Look Up The Desired Kanji(s) Online Or In A Japanese/English Dictionary.
-Make Flash Cards, And Study Them Until You Know Them All. A Good Way Is To Put The Answer On The Back, Shuffle Them, And Have Someone Quiz You.
-Once You Know The Desired Kanji(s), Copy Them From The Flash Card Over And Over On A Sheet Of Paper Until You Feel You Know Them.

And That's Pretty Much What I Do.

^As for Kanji, even though I know only VERY few... =3

I've asked a Professor who teaches people who major in Japanese, and he said that studies show that a Kanji is only perfectly memorized when you've seen it used about ten times. For example, when you go to Japantown (or somewhere with a lot of Japanese words), see how it is used and read it, and after about ten random identifications of the Kanji character, it is almost for sure that you will not forget it XD
