    XD!
    The word 'hoe' made me think of something else.... XD *cough* I misunderstood at first... XD
    Anyways, is it the same for 'oro' that kenshin always says? It doesn't have a specific meaning in japanese, has it? O.o;

    XD!
    This will sound weird to you, but for some reason, the first word I can remember was Katatsumuri, which means snail... XD

    Don't ask me why, don't ask me how, and don't ask me when. XD

    Sorry To Double Post, but I Really Don't Want This Thread To Die >_>

    So, What Should We Talk About For A Topic?

    *Waves magic wand*
    Teh Revived!!!

    Lol! Guess what? I just found the neatest place to work on our Nihongo skills, and enjoy Pokemon at the same time! It's a website called Pokemon Daisuki, and you can find it here:
    https://www.pokemon.jp

    If you become a member (which in and of itself will require some Japanese skills, but not a whole lot. PM me if you need some help becoming a member. ^_~) they have Pokemon games and other fun stuff inside, and it's all in relatively easy text (Mostly hiragana, although they do have some Katakana, and just a touch of Kanji) because of the fanbase they expect to receive, lol. Anyone else wanna try 'em out and say what you think? Isn't it a cool way to work on your Japanese? :D

    Marill-kun, is your user title (I think that's the name... -_-; I'm not talking about your Nickname, mind; it's the Kanji below your avatar) "Nihonjin.. Naka Boku no Yume"? I'm wondering if that's how you would pronounce it. And if so, what does it mean? It sounds like you're trying to say, "Japanese [person].. inside my dreams." Is that what you mean? If so, you'd want to say "Nihonjin... Boku no Yume no Naka e." Naka can't really be used without its particles. :P

    And your location, is it "Mirai Nihon"? This one I'm not sure about... Maybe it's Tokyoo, lol. Anyway, if you're trying to say Future Japan here, you'd want to put "Mirai no Nihon" if that's what you're aiming for. :P Literally, it means "Japan of the Future." If you switched the order though, you'd get "Nihon no Mirai," which means "The Future of Japan." Lol. I think either one sounds good. :P

    This club sounds right up my ally. I speak Japanese (a little, I took it in school) and I've been before. Mind if I join?

    Shuko ~ The location kanji in Marill's name says Tokyo. ^^; (I'd use Japanese spelling with the extra o but, eh... lazy. XD) Mirai is 未来, I think.

    Lolz... I dunno why, but I always get Tokyo and Mirai confused. 9_6 Although I had a semester of Japanese in college, we never got to the Kanji, so all the ones I know are ones I've taught myself. I probably don't use the right order, or method, or whatever to learn them, lol. But my grammar's not too terrible, at least. :P

    Yes, That Is How You Pronounce It And Yes, It Means "Japanese, In My Dreams.." And If You're Sure, I'll Change It. o.o You Are Probably Right.. I suck With Japanese Sentance Structure v.v;;

    And It Says Tokyo XD

    Oh! And Shuko, And Lightning? Would You Guys Like To Be Co Founders?
