Sure, if I find myself down in Brighton again, I’ll let you know and maybe we could meet up or something. I quite like Brighton, very diverse place, lots of different people and cultures there. Me and family ordered takeaway sushi from the Yo! Sushi restaurant in Jubilee St. I Absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to eat it again.Apologies if I sound like a noob, but what is an Oshi? :D
This Tofugu article should help explain things http://www.tofugu.com/2010/03/23/the-types-of-kanji-in-japanese-onyomi-vs-kunyomi/
Hey Mosen. Welcome to TF :) . I’m also a fellow UK member. I live in the south. Good luck with learning Japanese.

I don’t live too far from you. I’m in West Sussex. Been to Brighton a few times though as one of my sisters lives there.
My first post on this thread. Currently listening to”

It’s on the soundtrack to the film Lost in Translation. For those who haven’t seen it yet, I’d recommend watching it.
Such an inspiring song and makes me think of Japan :)

Ouch. A dollar a minute is expensive. Guess roaming charges on a smartphone will be just as bad.Hey Daniel. Welcome to TF :) . I’m sure you will figure out what you want to do with your life. It’s good that you’ve decided to learn Japanese. Maybe one day you can use your Japanese skills to get a job in Japan or something. Even if you don’t get a job involving using Japanese, at least you can use it for your hobbies.
I don’t believe Japanese is the hardest language for a native English speaker to learn. Learning a language is always a challenge but it can be easier if you’re motivated and use the right resources. The ones that say it’s hard are usually the ones that give up soon after starting or are too lazy to attempt to learn. Sure, it won’t be a walk in the park, but you’ve chosen the best self study resource for learning Japanese. Good luck.
Hey Amanda. Welcome to TF :) . Good luck with learning Japanese.
Your welcome :)
Your welcome :)
I agree with Joel. It’s easier to say desu in ですよ. By itself I’d probably still pronounce it dess.
Hey Minaye. Welcome to TF :) . It’s great your already in Japan. Nagoya looks like a great city. You have ambitious goals and I’m sure you will be able to achieve them. Languages are fantastic to learn and are an indespinsable skill. Good luck with learning Japanese. Btw, what country are you from?
I reckon “dess” is probably the closest way to write it’s pronounciation. A slight stress on the s.
