great lesson, I'll try to remember the　なになに

のことなんですが

沢山漢字勉強しました、八百位の意味知ります、けどまだ少しが読­みます。

[DJRaivu]

DC's got it, You've got it, I never realized Pulp Fiction had such a huge fan base in Japan.

It's definitely my #1 favorite movie [Next to Kill Bill]

[o0OMarthaO0o]

Its kinda annoying when you have the music on while you're speaking..

[iamtakingover]

what is the difference between shimashita and just plain shita?...please answer somehow.cuz i don't know....( and i 5 star you :)(hopeful smile))

[mountaincritter]

"Shimashita" and "shita" are both past-tense forms of "suru", the verb that means "do". "Shimashita", however, uses the polite "-masu" form/conjugation, and "shita" is just the plain, past version. Use the -masu form with people you're not super close to and where politeness is important ^_^.

Nice

 pulp fiction!!!!

[DJRaivu]

baka wa kaze wo hikonai [I think I got that right]

[goshinbi44]

I am quite sure it should be "baka GA kaze wo hiKUnai"

[DJRaivu]

lol. shows what american manga magazines teach you, huh?

[yumyumsesame]

Thanks Victor!! I will try and use なかなか〜ない。^_^

ところで、２人の日本人の友達にマギー先生のサイトを勧めました­。^＿^　すごいサイトですよ。マギー先生はコメントあまり貰わなくても、­是非レッソンを書いて続いてください。☆

[MrFrenchbullbull]

Speaking of なかなか.....What about this !Victor の日本語はなかなかですよ！Good one , right ?!

[evaissues1]

Speaking of Kanji, I'm doing an Internet knitting swap where we were assigned a alphabet letter for the theme of the package. Mine was K, so anything I want to send but doesn't start with K I'm going to write the word in kanji to make it fit. And thanks too the program Victor recommended, Rikaichan, its super easy to find the kanji for words. Yay Victor.

[angel21d]

So the usage of なかなか　is similar to ~たって？

Ex: 漢字をいっぱい勉強したって、覚えられない。

[markshmily]

Yet another interesting lesson.. Thanks for posting. Hope you feel better Victor-sensei.

Oh and Happy Birthday too..

[Taz418]

Didn't know that the same word for wind was alos for a cold. Of course you do put a different inflection on each word. Starting to learn Japanese this winter and I am just learning the alaphabet right now. I know Hiragana but still learning Katakana.

[yumyumsesame]

Remember the kanji is different though (even though the hiragana is the same) 風 is wind but 風邪 is a cold. :)

[Taz418]

Haven't started learning Japanese quite yet but I kn ew of kaze for wind ^_^ Thanks for the info yumyumsesame

[Motouyuu]

Happy Birthday.

[AguiladoMusic]

You are still sick?! You should eat more garlic. Your colds won't last that long if you have garlic every day.

And happy birthday.

[usaverageguy]

Nor will you have any friends. Of course when you have a cold you want to stay away from people anyway.

[AguiladoMusic]

Or one could take garlic pills.

[usaverageguy]

Yes of course. But that suggestion would not make you smile. I'm just trying to have some fun at Victors expense. If he knew me better, I don't think he would hesitate to do the same.

[AguiladoMusic]

Oklie doklie.

[iFukuyama]

[SeeYouNextFall]

I think you can buy Codeine products over the court in Japan.

Buy some Vitamin C and codeine tablets.

Codeine is a antitussive and your cold will be much lower in severity.

[NagualElias]

Happy b day!

[Hikosaemon]

Happy birthday, man!

Peace

[Draquoir]

誕生日おめでとうございます!

[ChemistInJapan]

Can we see you actually put cigarettes in your nose?

[Degenskonto]

According to Daichen, your Bday is today... if so

Happy B-day!
