Konishiwa. I strongly doubt it. It's probably more similar than English, but apart from voyels (which are deformed in English, like I is read EY instead of EE), Japanese has pretty much nothing common with French. Oddly enough, it's actually more similar to Arabic! |

So you're saying i'm lying? here's what it says 'Un bon côté de l'étude du japonais, c'est que sa prononciation ne pose aucune difficulté pour les Français. 95 % des sons du japonais existent en français.' you try to figure it out. ___________________ The Dragons are Gone! |

i am unsure it looks like. It is more difficult to pronounce french words and 95% of japenese sounds are used in French. ___________________ Credit Cards Canadian Credit Cards Best Credit Card Deals |

nice try 'Un bon côté de l'étude du japonais, c'est que sa prononciation ne pose aucune difficulté pour les Français. 95 % des sons du japonais existent en français.' a good side in the study of japanese, is that pronounciation is of no difficulty for the french. 95% of japanese sounds exists in french. ___________________ The Dragons are Gone! |

Je n'ai jamais dit que tu mentais Buu, c'est juste que je parle Français encore mieux que toi, et que je connais suffisamment de Japonais pour penser que cette affirmation est une connerie de la part d'Assimil. Wakarimasuka? (I didn't say you were lying Buu, I just happen to know French better than even you do, and I know enough of Japanese to think this statement is bullsh*t from Assimil's part. You understand now?) I think learning Japanese is difficult regardless of your previously known languages. The same words are used for totally different meanings and you're meant to get their sense from the way they're pronounced and the overall "ring" of the phrase. Add the suffixes like KA and some totally unpronounceable sounds, like that "rolled" R they got which sounds like an L (and is impossible to pronounce for a French BTW), and you get one hard to learn language. Allez, sans rancune, mec. And good luck in your learning. ___________________ Now playing No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep |

i never said the language was easy to learn if you where french. I clearly said pronounciation. sounds, are similar in the french and japanese languages. sounds don't mean you know the language, because clearly, O Hayo Gozaimasu is NOTHING like a french word. I mean, for that for example, you know how they help with pronounciation? well, in the book, it says clearly o ha yô go za i ma su. I mean, try learning arabic. or german. they don't have the same sounds. and i got CDs with this and it is pretty true, it's very simple to pronounce. and i doudt you can speak french better then i do. i was born with it. I doudt it's possible to speak better. Alors arrete de dire des connerie. ___________________ The Dragons are Gone! |

I suggest taking classes if you want to learn Japanese; unless, of course you aren't already. It's a lot better to work in large groups and have an instructor than relying on a book. Also I'm not sure what the French to Japanese teachings are like, but the romanji is ohayoo, so in hiragana it'd be like o ha yo u. おはよう...if you can see that. I have a bit of French and Latin under my belt. Currently I'm taking Japanese, and in the future I plan on taking either Portugese or Italian. I also don't see any connection between French and Japanese pronunciation, there of course will be some simlarities in pronunciation, but English also has some similarities. Maybe for a lot of stuff in Japanese there is a French counterpart, but the same cannot be said vice versa since French relies on accents and actually has v-,l- and other sounds. ___________________  |

Y porque a mi no me enseñan Japones? ___________________ I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Thomas Jefferson, |

Only I was born with it too. And if I remember correctly, your written French used to be pretty bad. the French can't spell, that's a fact. |

what? how are you judging my french written french? I do admit i'm not the best in grammar and all that bull****, but I speak it oraly like any oral french. same for english. I don't have the best grammar, but i speak it like any normal english. with no accent or anything. and maybe most french can't roll there Rs, but i lived in the US for long enough to pick it up and fit with the few that can >_<. And what does that have to do with japanese anyways? Last i heard, the Japanese don't have the r and l in there language, they have something in between. and it is closer to the french l then the english r. ___________________ The Dragons are Gone! |
