Hey, Brando, how are Japanese sentences structured? Are they in the same subject-verb-direct object form that our English language has? Let me know!

<3

@suckapunch565 nooope Japanese is very different.

i believe its Object Subject Verb :)

in other words:

the thing you're talking about - something about it - the verb

its easier than english really

@TokyoBrando I know! I started writing Kana just yesterday and realized how easy writing in japanese is! I already know how to write some words.

@suckapunch565

yup, hiragana & katakana will probably only take a day or 2 to learn..depending on how hard you study them..and their special rules arent that difficult either..

however Kanji is abit different lol..but keep it up and you'll do alright

anoo, i'm not exactly fluent in japanese or anything, but I thought deshou or deshou ka was something more along the lines of 'right?' like desu ne, like 'sore wa nan deshou?' or something like that...

Ah, but I don't mean to be rude or anything! I just would like some clarification...

[TokyoBrando]

nope.. deshou = future tense..

muzukashii deshou = it will be hard..

muzukashii desune = it's hard, huh?

I checked this out of curiosity just to see what you look like, and this is really cool, man! I've always kinda wanted to learn Japanese, and I didn't realize that you did these! You did a really good job of presenting this, and the recap at the end was quite nice.

@TokyoBrando Yeah, I took a look at Kanji and boy, that's overkill! I guess you gotta crawl before you walk. But before I go, I have one question: If you learn Kanji, does that mean you are able to read the original Chinese calligraphy?
