Claire replied to Ella the awesome frost-giant :)'s discussion Violins or clarinets???
"This is hard... I play both instruments but I would have to say I prefer violin over my clarinet. Although violin is harder it has a much nicer sound :D"

Well, I know the very basic phrases (and judaime... actually, I'm not sure how that's spelled) from watching (way too much anime), I don't get how to write them though. The Japanese characters are per syllable, right? Also, out of curiosity, what does "desu" mean and why is it said after the "My name is..." phrase?

I shall go look for one next time I'm in a bookstore. :)

If you'd prefer to listen, watching Japanese TV is a very good way learn new words and improve your listening comprehension. If you're looking for free online resources (I always was) you can find news stations that post clips with transcripts online:

There's also a lot of interesting stuff in Japanese on youtube if you dig for it.

If there's anything that you'd specifically like help with let me know!

What's your current ability like? Are you just starting out or have you already done some study? If you can understand some Japanese, I always found learning new words in context easiest. If you're not to the point where you can understand enough Japanese for that to be useful, I can point you to some vocabulary lists. Or if there are specific things you want to know how to say, you can just ask me too.

how are you claire?  sorry I haven't been around much.  :(

Excellent choices (although, honestly, you can't go wrong with any Disney movie). I must admit, I still get a little frightened by the jaguar in Tarzan. It's an excellent movie though :)

Thank you! So seem pretty cool yourself :)

My favorite Disney movies are Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast and the Lion King. How about you?
