How well do you speak Japanese?

I know basic sounds, phrases and numbers from school, I want to learn it for my school certificate over the next two years but there are other classes that interest me. =P I'll just learn it at home then. ^_^
 
I skipped a year of Japanese, since I taught myself. But yeah, I know things like "self introduction," "hobbies," and other stuff...but I sound like kid who just came out of the textbook, I'm always using -masu forms instead of dictionary forms. xD
 
Pretty good I guess. I keep a JP dictionary with
me. When I learn something new, I tell my friend
and she is like ?. I just laugh, but she knows a
little too. Yet, I can speak it, but I can hardly
write in hiragana and katakana.

I can't speak it very well but I can read Hiragana very well and I'm learning katakana as well

私はこのメセージをわかった。♥ すごいよ～ @_@;;

...too bad I can't speak Japanese properly anymore. Took me a good 30 seconds to remember the verb for "to understand" and I'm not even sure I used it properly. XDD;
 
いいえ、かんぺきだったと思うよ ^^
がんがろうね！
 
I know the basics, and I know myabe six or seven sentences. I've been trying to learn online, so I'm learning slowly.

I can read Kanji very well, if I've seen the symbols before, I'll memorize it and then be able to recognise it later.

Although I can bearly speak Japanese, people say that the tone of voice I speak it in I sound like I'm from Japan. ^^;
 
Not good, I can only understadn this words: Harigato, Konichiwa, Sayonara 3? Only 3?
yeah, 3...I can only understand 3 words of Japansese xD

Actually, I'd probably only be able to speak one language fluently. The rest I would know a handful of useful phrases in and that's about it because you don't need to speak something fluently if you've just visited a place. And I doubt you know every language fluently. If anything, just the more common ones. ;[
 
I dont think that i need to know anything except Kanji because its the most written in japan.

If i went to a restarsunt, i could probably be able to order a couple of things and talk about the weather with the waiter. If i understand him, i leave a tip, if i dont, i drop a penny.
 
After a year of watching sheer amounts of anime (and listen to Japanese music) I started to pick up some common phases and decided to learn a bit more online. Then after 6 months I brought a phrase book and learnt the basic such as numbers, sentence structure and 'some' hiragana/katakana etc. I know fair amount of kanji from Chinese classes, just not how to pronounce them in Japanese lol (and yes I know some meaning are different but they ain't too off). Now watching anime I tend to pick up new words easily but then again I really should just go to a class >_>.

Question though. What sort of things do you learn in the first year beginners classes? Cause I may have to skip it if it's too basic. Don't want them teaching me the numbers etc again >_>.
 
Not much. Simple greetings, common phrases, counting, and some swear words that I picked up from Naruto >>

Lol I learned a lot from watching Naruto too. XD
Well my friend was trying to teach me how to say Japanese pokemon names over voice chat but I don't know too many words. A few greetings and common stuff. I could read it sometimes, but never speak it right. I'm more of a visual learner. Must get Japanese characters displaying on this computer. :x
 
I only know some japanese by talking to Ichida. I mean I know baka and Ja now! ^^;

*grabs her textbook* We learnt hiragana, katakana, basic greetings, kore/sore/are/dore (etc), basic verb conjugation (~masu form), particles, sentence formation, "describing where things are", adjectives, ~te form verbs, ~teiru form verbs, short forms, past tense short form, and I think comparison.

I just copied out some of the table of contents. You might not get that far though... it depends on the Japanese class and the textbook you use, I guess. o.o
 
i know a few words and the numbers up to about 50 maybe a hundred haven't tried to count that high in jap.

Looking for lessons but I can't find any near me. Bloody south west england being useless.

So i'm stuck listening to the japanesepod101 podcasts trying to learn from that and my book which is useless at explaining anything to do with kanji.
 
Oss (japanese) um i do goshin kan do karate so i know alot cause i have to teach karate to other people when they are new and stuff i know alot like : unogushimus,tencho,saifa,gogeki,yoi and i know lots more
sorry for the misspelt word's im not sure how there spelt
