Introduction - J-Vid 01 - TheAndySan

http://www.theandysan.com

This is my introduction video spoken in Japanese for the senpai/kohai program run by BobbyJudo and CrimsonIgloo. Here's what I say in Romaji, which is how our alphabet writes the Japanese language:

Hajimemashite, Andy desu.
Ore wa Ohio kara kimashita.
Watashi wa nijuusan-sai desu.
Boku no syumi wa nihongo obenkyou, gita wo hiku, terebi wo mirukoto, anime daisuki da desu
Douzo yoroshiku onigai shimasu.

In my introduction, I say that my name is Andy, I'm from Ohio, I'm 23 years old, my hobbies are studying Japanese, playing guitar, watching TV, and I especially like anime.

The long fourth sentence gave me some trouble as you can see in the outtakes, but ten takes later, I got it right. I look forward to collaborating with you guys more to improve my Japanese!

Holy crap, you're right!

I blame the poor lighting (and not Oreos); my teeth aren't quite as bad in my other videos.

[bukshotaz]

it looks like you are reading it ..

[AndySan]

start learning hiragana and katakana, it'll help since like bobbyjudo states, romaji can have things spelt differently and if you don't know the correct way of pronouncing it, you'll say it wrong. kanji's the hard stuff, so don't worry about hiragana and katakana.

[AndySan]

Before I left Bowling Green, a coworker gave me some hiragana & katakana flashcards. I'll definitely be putting those to use in the future!

Juichi ni nanodesu yo!

[AndySan]

I thought it was weird adding the "da". I'll stick with the "desu." Thanks for telling me about it!

[LumaPerrete]

I have something to say about when you say "anime daisuki da desu". "da" and "desu" are the same thing. The only diference is that "da" is the informal version of "desu". So you should have used only one of them.

Keep studying =]

I've been good dude! How about yourself?
