LOL "Can I go to the toilet now?" XD

[articquad]

"To go to downtown" is technically right, but it just sounds really improper.

@articquad

"What's the fastest way to get downtown?" is actually correct.

:)

@Hautamekki most japanese don't get actual practice speaking. most of their learning is writing/reading. it also doesn't help that their 'most' of the english teachers are native japanese.

[Hautamekki]

i dont get it, i thought japan has one of the best schoolsystems in the world and everybody learns english.....so whats with these girls?? i mean this is basic stuff

[princejmye]

sweet, i think she knows english maybe this is just a comedy show?

[Lutanamo]

Yep, but you have to be in constant contact in the other language to remain fluent in it, because otherwise you might forget words, or perhaps the correct spelling of some rarely-used ones. I am bilingual myself, but I have still problems with some words sometimes.. the vocabulary will probably never be as big in english for me, because I don't live in english-speaking country. Now trying to learn japanese.. that's kinda difficult, I must say. Nihongo ga sukoshi wakarimas..

when she said downtown i was thinking matsumoto and hamada:)

[TheSonicComet]

that is soooooo adorable!!!! x3333

[JTeamjesters]

I know this is a comedy show and all but if Charmy did have to ask that question in english outside of Japan, I wonder if she'll be able to understand the answer ppl will give her XD

[LouiseLuvsPandas]

you have a point.

but learning individual, then placing together is sometimes difficult too.

you have to learn it both ways ^^

and for phrases , its easier to learn it this way :)

[vdFritz]

it's just a comedy program... of course they won't learn anything from that, it's just funny heh
