Welcome to _____ secondary school
My name is _____ and my name is _____.
We are delighted to have you here for this exchange programme
We are interested in your japanese culture and we hope to learn those cultures from you
We hope you enjoy your stay here
Have a nice day. Thank you

___ chougakkou he youkoso.
watashi no namae wa ____ soshite watashi no namae wa ____.
kono koukan puroguramu wo eranda no wa arigatou gozaimasu. Totemo yorokonde imasu. (more like: thank you very much for choosing this program, we're delighted... is it ok?)
anatatachi no nihon bunka toka kyoumi wo motte takusan koto wo naraite itadikitain desu.
anata wa kono taizai wo tanoshinde kudasai.
yoi ichinichi wo ne. doumo arigatou gozaimasu

because i'm not sure how polite it has to be i put in a pretty polite form...

@deziel
wa en ga's difference will become clearer. when you're in doubt it's safer to use "wa" in the beginning. wa indicates topic, like for instance "kono hana ha" ---> about this flower. ga indicates just the subject of a clause. when there's multiple clauses for instance the ga will only be the subject of the clause it's about while "wa" will indicate a topic for the WHOLE sentence.

"そっか～
にほんごのほうがいいのかな～？
それともえいごのほうがいいのかな～？
いまそっちは１１じまえぐらい～？
こっちは１２じまえだよ～！"

is that so~
I wonder if japanese is better..
or is english better, i wonder.
right now it's a little before 11 there?
here i'ts a little before 12 o' clock.

does this make sense?

eunhae
Do you happen to get this from a dorama, song,...? I can't really figure it out either...

atarashi wo koi wa
kisutsu itto kokoro iyashite
kureru..

im not sure if my translation is correct.

[aval-zo]

how do you say/write :

i love my family.

no kanji please...i can't read kanji yet.

please and thanks in advance.

[Carrieke]

atarashi wo koi wa
kisutsu itto kokoro iyashite
kureru..

im not sure if my translation is correct.

mmm it def makes more sense...
if it's :
atarashii koi wa
kisutsuita kokoro iyashite kureru

then translated it would be:
a new love, to heal a broken heart...
something like that...i'm not sure though since the romaji is still doubtful

i love my family.

(watashi wa) kazoku wo aishiteru/ga suki desu.

Could someone tell me what the symbol on this shirt means/says?

Thanks~ xD

[twinkle_l0ve]

^ that hiragana is "a"
looking at the characters face, im assuming its sighing?

[Caitlinnn]

Ah, thanks! I figured it'd be something pretty simple like that; I just wanted to make sure it was nothing weird. (:

[15;;1/2]

What does this say? - http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/sd/NADESHIKO/about/img/txt01.gif

Thanks

[maharu.]

15;;1/2: 'Show us the kindness and strong sides that especially woman have!'
NADESHIKO...It's a event that woman artists gather...

We know...it's going to be rough(?).

We know...theres so many things that you don't know.

And then, we know that there's a lot of charm in this.


Something like that =]

does anyone know how to say "today I am going to sing-" and "thank-you for watching" in romanji, i really need it.
thanks!

[latina]

what does opabbi mean??

[cRoSsTaGe]

I have few questions about the sentences below:

1) （Volitional form of verb)と思っています。and (Volitional from of verb)と思います。
What is the difference between the two?

2) What does the よう means in here? 林さんは今度の休みに日本へいこうと思っているようです。

3) そこはペンキ塗りたてと書いてあります。 How is it translated in English?

4) 夜空に星がキラキラと光って。。。
How is the と in this sentence used?

Thanks ALOT!

Kyou ha watashi ga utaimasu.
Mitekurete arigatou gozaimasu.
Kiitekurete arigatou gozaimasu. - would be thank you for listening, since your singing right?

1) "I think" vs. "I am thinking" It's like the difference between coming to a conclusion 「思います」, and still considering it　「思っています」.
2) "I hear that..." It's called hearsay usually in the text books.
3) "Over there it has been written, 'Fresh Paint.'"
4) That's how Japanese use words like to sparkle, be fluffy, be slippery, etc. The first word is the sound that it makes, followed with と and the verb it's associated with. I would just translate it as, "The stars sparkle in the night sky."

[CitrusFlower]

khul thank-you so much! after i say "today i am singing" do i just add in the songs since japanese have different sentence structures oh and i forgot, how do you say "i am going to be singing and dancing-" i forgot about that too. thanks!

[akira53]

kyou wa watashi ga utatte odorimasu.
kyou wa watashi ga XX to iu uta wo utaimasu (i'll be singing a song called xx)

[CitrusFlower]

kyou wa watashi ga XX to iu uta wo utaimasu so i just say that and remove the x with the song i'm singing?kyou wa watashi ga utatte odorimasu. is that how you say "today i am singing and dancing" if it is do i just add in the song name after i say that or add it in after ga, japanese sentence structures really confuse me

[Jaeho]

^ Are you trying to say "Today I will sing and dance to xx"? Then it's "Kyou wa watashi ga xx to iu uta o utainagara odorimasu."
