...I have to learn to read three different writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Anyone who's learning Japanese or Chinese knows they can't get away with just learning to speak the language because there'll be a point where you have to read, and if you can't - well, darn.

I used to know how to read Russian, but... we'll, I've forgotten now. ^^;

it can be a bit difficult for others since it has some letters which represent the English Alphabet

I learnt the vowels in hiragana and katakana during (early) last summer... but I've forgotten them now for the most part >.< will be trying again this summer (as I'll probably be learning [or rather, trying to learn] the Cyrillic alphabet very soon in the upcoming Russian course). I'm not even considering learning kanji anytime soon

At least I'm not the only one!

Hamano-chan, I can probably help you with the kana symbols; I doubt I'll be much help with Cyrillic, though... >.>

I wanna help! me on Russian since i practically already spoken to some people in russian already! ^^

Sure I can help, Hamano-chan. Its no problem.

And yes, I do believe you mentioned an interest in foreign languages. I'm probably the only one in my family interested in such things... but then I managed to familiarize everyone with Japanese everyday expressions such as "Ittekimasu!", "Itterasshai!", "Tadaimasu", "Okaerinasai!" and a few others. ^^

You two... it would be of great help, thank you both ^^ *bows*

Though Blitzer, my Russian will be really really poor, since I'm taking my first course of it in the next term (which would start... on the next Thursday

)

Konnichiwa! Hiwatari Kei desu, hajimemashite. Dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

...the name? Whose name? Mine? *shrug* I'm not sure if we've met before, so... ^^;

(Translation for Hamano-chan: Hello! I'm Hiwatari Kei, how do you do? Pleased to meet you, too.)

Mou, I didn't ask it just for me Kei! I bet there are other members and visitors who don't understand Japanese =/ (and I did understand that, heard it too many times in animes..... ^^; )

here some helpful phrases of introduction:

Dobry den - Good day
Privet - Hi/Hello
Zdravstvujte - How do you do

And following Oneechan's example: Dobry den! menya zavout Blitzer! (Good day! My name is Blitzer)

Dobre vetcha~ menya zavoot Lily (лилия?)~ Kak de lah?

Good evening. My name is Lily. How are you?

We should just make a whole topic for practicing languages.~
