Summer Glau's Japanese?

[masematu1129]

日本語上手だな

[trlkly]

That's too clear to my ears to be good. Good Japanese has different phonemes than English, and sounds muffled to American ears.

[FortitudeOfHeaven]

No, not Japanese. Just a cunning linguist. Summer is Scot-Irish and German. But she has the Eurasian features that look like she is half-Asian and half-white.

Happy Birthday Summer (7/24). I can't believe she's 30 already..and no kids. Doesn't feel like that long ago she was still 16 year old Cameron Phillips. I miss the days of TSCC.

[d00mfan89]

Sama-san wa uruwashii desu.

[ThePtolemyiv]

She could speak anything to me in any language! She is the most Desirable Woman in the verse!

[SSJDaiSanDankai]

Summer was so pretty!

[naruki0217]

イエス(^O^)／

[konihonyin]

is this form TSCC?

[meepfeet]

Why is that she can learn Japanese so fuckin' well but she couldn't learn Chinese during Firefly and Serenity...? :D

[bradyarms]

@meepfeet Chinese is waay harder than Japanese.

[Alpha2307]

@meepfeet there were different teachers

[Kryptoniankousin]

@meepfeet she looked younger in Firefly, maybe she did really know how to work with languages well. Or she had a better teacher for this.

[SpacemanSchmuck]

oh man, she's so talented.....

[sachoalexander]

She is so stunningly beautiful here

[alexthelizardking]

2 things i luv getting 2gether at last. summer glau and the japanese language

[Eyes5150]

As an actress that was pretty good. As a cyborg it sounded glitchy.

[sijotakane]

typical gaijin accent

[MrTwain]

@sijotakane Typical racist prick.

[zquest2]

This scene just made my jaw drop when I first saw it. Summer is amazing!

[ssnaritlove]

上手☆

[gaishared]

Summer Glau is Megami Tenshi !

[gaishared]

Did u read the comment right i was using japanese words Megami -means Goddess and Tenshi-means, Angel Ok!

[stiffeg]

@gaishared sorry, missunderstanding

[gaishared]

That's ok it happens alot sometimes .

[LiuJia032]

gan bei?Miss Cameron so much

[MGdirector]

Cute Japanese speaking~

[paiwanhan]

did River ever had Chinese lines on Firefly?

[paigeygrey]

Yeah I'm pretty sure she does...I know she does in Serenity at least.

[emcneilk2]

Yeah she did. The first that comes to mind is in the episode "Safe"

[TheBillUlshChannel]

@paiwanhan she spoke a little of it in serenity right before she says "please god make me a stone" right when Jayne says "that girl's really beginning to damage my cal... she's right... this whole planet's dead for no reason."

[paiwanhan]

@TheBillUlshChannel i rewatched the movie after that comment, and now i know exactly which line you are referring to. She actually said "merciful god, please take me away" then she cut to the english line, and back to repeating "I wish to have no ears, no heart and turn into a stone." in Chinese... though Summer's Chinese was less perfect than her Japanese.

[SaveTSCC3]

I'm Japanese, Cameron says exactly;

「私たちが敬愛するリーダー、サラとアレックスに感謝を込めて、­乾杯。」

Watashi-tachi ga, Keiai suru Leader, Sarah to Alex ni, Kansha wo Komete, KANPAI !

(To our leader, Sarah and Alex whom we respect and love, with great thanks, KANPAI(Cheers) !)

As Japanese, her Japanese is 98% perfect ! Great job, Summer!!

[carey134]

@SaveTSCC3

She always did have an ear for languages other than english...

[TommyTarneski]

Is this from TSCC?

[mikypeg]

yea. this was in the epsiode where sarah and camron went to this computer company thats logo had 3 dots. sarah thought it was something to do with skynet but it turned out it wasnt.

[eyebags1001]

I heard:

私たちが敬愛するにだSarahとAlexに感謝こめて、かんぱ­い！

(Watashitachi ga keiai suru ni da, Sarah to Alex ni kansha komete, kanpai!)

I'm not entirely sure what it means, but it's gramatically incorrect

[Goblinkiller99]

Very Cool

[RedC0mrade]

I'm Japanese and I guess her Japanese is ok lol

[orionbrooksclardy]

Umm...can anyone maybe tell us what the FUCK SHE'S SAYING?!? Just a thought. Just sayin'.

[Bohemund]

I have read on a forum that her Japanese phrase in that scene were grammatically incorrect. So do not bother to know what she was saying.

[HollyTheFireNinja]

But then that wouldn't be her fault, that would be the screenwriter's fault, wouldn't it? I think her accent is okay, it surprised me. I thought other actor's accents are far poorer than her's. Wonder how she managed it.

[frrrran]

Easy, she is a cyborg =)

[greatgonzales]

Not great, but far better than most American actors who try to speak Japanese.

[DragonSeraphin]

I agree with cameronbaum... i would love to know what she said... please send me what she said in a message or something...

[CameronBaum]

can anyone post the all she said? the words. pls thanks.

[maxlover55]

Kampai.. good!

[pokeafan]

Summer Glau is such a talented actress, her accents has always been amazing

Awesome Episode, thanks for the vid

[brunotg]
