anyone japanese?

I know...umm a little japanese. Generally fighting terms. It comes from learning Judo for 7 years. I also know the word tenka-ichi budokai. I can't read the japanese characters like kanji though.
 
Sadly no. Im still in learning~
 
I know only a couple words...well, only two of them I'm absolutely positive that the definition is correct. XD They are the words for "hello" and "cute"...I do wish I knew more about their language, the entire Japanese culture truly fascinates me. <33 *wants to live there once she grows up* :3

My Romanji's okayish, I suck at Kanji and can really only read two of the basic other writing forms.
 
im not japanese, but i can say a bit. im learning japanese cos i may want to live in japan. i wanted to do this for my test but they wont let me. not even Greek.
 
The only thing I know is Kawaii means cute.
 
I got a 78-lesson CD set for Christmas that's supposed to teach you Japanese. ;)
 
I do know some japanese in romanji..
 
I actually know a lot of Japanese. I've been learning very slowly but steadily through the last three years. I've been doing it slow because I want to enjoy every bit of the language before all the fun of learning is gone.
I know all of hiragana (although it took me a while) and all of katakana except for the extinct ones. I also know over 50, yes fifty kanji and about half I know how they sound. I also regularly watch Japanese Pokemon episodes, know common phrases, say Japanese words and sing Japanese lyrics regularly, and attempt to translate Pokemon songs into English
That may also be the reason I have so much fun on Pokesho.
There's still a long way to go, but I love everything about this language (except for misunderstandings like kawaii and kowai (scary), that one can get pretty pretty messy)
And I got so into Nihongo that I even did that thing with my computer where I can type a Japanese syllable and it turns into kana! (but it doesn't work on Mozilla for some reason so I have to cut and paste from wordpad)
Just for the fun of it, a few Japanese words along with their hiragana or kanji equivalents.
yana kanjii - bad feeling - やな かんじい (it's what Team Rocket says when they blast off, in Japan)
sonansu - so it is - そうなんす (what Wobbufet says in Japan)
kirei - pretty - きれい
some useful ones:
aishiteru - I love you - 愛してる
I dont have time to write the kana down for these bad boys
baka - stupid
shimatta -dammit!
ecchi - perverted
mizu - water
and a joke in early AG of Pokemon
hinoko - Ember
kinoko - mushroom
(disclaimer: I may be wrong on some words or expressions because I'm teaching myself by the internet, Babelfish and my Japanese dictionary. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

:D Ommmmmmmg~ You're just like me. xD Except for the studying on your own part.

I studied on my own for a year and now I'm taking it as a FL at my High School.

What's sad is that even knowing 50 kanji, 3rd graders know more than we do. ;;
 
I only know Sayonara means goodbye, and the N is the only one-letter figure in katakana that isn't a vowel. And, of course, that L and R is the same letter in katakana.
 
Well, my Kanji sucks, but I know how to make sentences, but not enough to hold a dialog XD.
