tamago86 and orangecake, thanks so much for your help! although i don't understand everything you said since my japanese is limited... hehe, watch my use my dictionary like mad and online translators to figure out what you guys said.

バネッサへ
私は　かなめ　です。よろしくね！
６月からこの先生に教えてもらってたの？それとも６ヶ月間、教えてもらってたの？
よくわかんなかったので、両方書いてみました。

どぞよろしく！ i'm sorry about that confusion; i meant to say for the past 6 months since i've had her since january. ごめんね。。。

素敵な先生がいなくなっちゃうのは悲しいよね
新しい先生もまた、素敵な人だといいね。
幸運を祈ります！！！

she was seriously the best teacher ever. thank you.


also, if someone wouldn't mind -- could i get those same sentences in hiragana too? since i don't know many kanji yet, it's hard for me to read and it could definitely improve my vocabulary. ありがとうおざいました！ ♥

If anyone in Japan watches Fuji TV (because I sure don't) and knows this show, please enlighten us

they don't have class shirts in japan..most of the time students are in uniform anyways

But if you wanted to do it you could print something simple like
'06 頑張れ! (06 ganbare)
Go 06!

But they don't have things like class of '06 or '07 either there :/

ふむふむふむ。
class shirt　って言うんだ・・・知らなかった。
確かに、学校で普段は着ないけど、例えばクラス対抗のスポーツ大会とか、文化祭とか体育祭とかのイベントに合わせて、オリジナルのTシャツを作ることはあるよ。

私の行ってた高校は、Tシャツと短パンをおそろいで作ってた 。
クラス対抗のスポーツ大会とか、体育祭の時に、みんなで着るんだ

ロゴとかも自分たちで考えるんだけど、うちのクラスは担任の先生の意向で、「疾風怒涛（しっぷうどとう）」という意味のことをドイツ語で（・・・スペル覚えてないよ ）入れました。
友だちのクラスは「風林火山（ふうりんかざん）」って漢字で入れてた。
やはり、スポーツ大会用だから、勇ましい言葉を入れることが多かったな～。

その他だと・・・

ことわざ　「石の上にも三年」
キリスト教系の学校だと聖書の句　「求めよ、さらば与えられん」
有名な詩の一節　「僕の前に道はない、僕の後ろに道は出来る」「雨ニモマケズ　風ニモマケズ」
古文　「春はあけぼの、夏はよる、秋は夕暮れ、冬はつとめて」

なんてのもあったよ。

ただ、当て字（意味は違うんだけど、音だけで無理やり当てはめてる言葉）は使わないようにね。
特に、意味もなくムツカシイ漢字を使うのは、日本では暴走族とかに多い傾向なんだ・・・。
（「夜露死苦」＝「よろしく」とか 彼らの漢字の知識はすごいよ～。凡字みたいなのも書いてるもの ）

もしも、「こんな意味の言葉を入れたい！」っていうのがあったら教えて。
適当な言葉を捜してあげるよ。

・・・・・・・・ってのを、訳してあげて～。

しかし、私の英語の訓練はどうなってるんだ・・・。 困った困った。

how do you say "I think you are _____________" ?
is it.. anata wa tsuite kanagaeru ?

[Tamago86]

I think you are what???

I think you're an idiot - 馬鹿だと思う baka da to omou

I think you're cute - 可愛いと思う kawaii to omou

"I think" =
adjective + to omou 高いと思う takai to omou
plain form of verb + to omou あると思う aru to omou
noun + da to omou 飛行機だと思う hikouki da to omou

I'm so~~~~~~~~~~ sorry
so my English is "wonderfully" poor.....

when I was student, we have class T-shirts for school festival.
printed on T-shirts idiom, poetry... etc.

「石の上にも三年」 "Perseverance brings success"
「求めよ、さらば与えられん」 "Ask and it shall be given you"
「僕の前に道はない、僕の後ろに道は出来る」 "There is no way before me, and a way is made behind me"
「雨ニモマケズ　風ニモマケズ」　・・・・・　***I cannot translate....

in our class ,we printed "Sturm und Drang" (in German)~.

[Tamago86]

um ok. why dont they have class shirts? even school shirts?

Because they're not America? haha

Just use the shirts for festivals like orangecake wrote
