Anyone is welcome to add English and Japanese captions to this video:

(just paste the link to this video after clicking "Specific Video...")
If you want, you could make three separate Japanese tracks for romaji, all kana, and kana/kanji. The transcripts of the skits are in the textbooks. You can email me the captions at japloosh@gmail.com

  • hate hate haaaate those particles ¬¬

  • ahh so they dont wear seat belts in japan O.o

  • A, RelVleDy, wakarimashita. Arigatou gozaimasu. Ki o tsukete.

  • What I mean is I use "u" for online dictionaries because dictionaries aren't smart enough to distinguish the second English "o" as a "u," so if you type arigatoo it will think you're typing ありがおとお. You'll come up with a dead search. You'll have to type "arigatou" to make it work.

    Anyways, yea Romaji is silly. I still recommend translating the second "o" as "u" to avoid English to Japanese dictionary confusion. Romaji is controversial though, so I understand what you mean.

  • Sorry but you are not correct.  Romaji is not translated letter for letter.

  • arigatoo is actually spelled "arigatou." When two o's are side by side, the second o is spelled as a "u," however, the u is silent, so you pronounce it as one long o sound.

    arigatou gozaimasu

    ありがとうございます

    souji

    そうじ

    douzo

    どうぞ

    It's important to spell it right because if you look these words up in an online dictionary (ex. Denshi Jisho) you'll get no results from words like "arigatoo."

    There's some exceptions to the double o rule, but the exceptions are rare.

  • Yansan no video o arigatoo gozaimasu.
