先生お世話になりました、授業は大変お勉強になりました。これからも日本語で頑張ります！
Sensei osewa ni narimash!ta, jugyou wa taihen obenkyou ni narimash!ta.

Depends what you mean by master
Yo could probably learn how to read a book or a newspaper or manga on your own..but to master speaking/writing at least and probably listening you would need someone to practice on and someone to tell you what you're doing wrong that you may not be realizing

[heart[killer]]

ばら　の　たいはい

^just by practise but at first i remember the あえいおう, and then follow in the order with the other ones and then i seem to remember them xD and sometimes i remember them but remembering the katakana and vice versa but then that might confuse you sometimes too. but just keep practising xD

[aval-zo]

hola, mina-san!

need a little help in translating something here for my dorm. I'm making a sign, helping out my hall council and stuff.
can someone translate to romaji and in japn characters?

"Please wash your dishes."


muchas muchas thanks!!

--also--

to those studying japn, do you guys mix up languages in the process of learning japn?
for ex: For me....I took two years of spanish, and currently taking 2nd year japn. when practice speaking, i tend to combine spanish, english and japn togther....because well, it kinda sound nicer that way.....
for ex: for my spanish learning friends, i have a tendacity of saying this often:--> konnichwa mis tomodachi, como estas? Hai, muy bien.

to those studying japn, do you guys mix up languages in the process of learning japn?

yeah...but not for the reasons you listed

[Joanne <3]

^ Haha, come to think of it, I don't mix them because they "sound nicer that way....", only because I sometimes talk/think too fast and mix them up.

シドニ空港に着いた時、私たちのガイドさんと or に会いました。


其れから、自由行動だったので、私たちはアイマクスと言うえいがかんに行きました。

I don't know if you'll be writing this out but most people don't use the 其 kanji for それ

さいごの日、朝食を食べた後で、、観光旅行【かんこうりょこう】に行きました。

観光旅行 is more like a trip, like when you're visiting multiple cities, what you're doing right now is basically a 観光旅行. You can just say 観光しに行きました


Other then that it's good

Thanks a lot, Tamago! ^^ Saved my butt on the test. It was a writing one though, so I had to use as much kanji as I could memorise.

When I first started out, my teacher used flash cards to teach us, and also correlate pictures with what the hiragana resembled. For example, う would apparently look like an old lady, hunched over, representing "ooh, my aching back". Lol, it sounds funny, but relating them to pictures I found really helped me.

[heart[killer]]

^ hmm ill see what i can do

[Ivana]

I don't know if this is the rigth place for me to be asking this.. but could anyone translate the ff. for me please? That'd be a great help

My hobby is photography and drawing. I've started doing both in my first year in high school. But right now, I like drawing more than photography.

This is my family. My dad works in ~. My mom is a housewife. My brother is currently in college studying in ~.

These are my friends and classmates. These photos were taken during our retreat last week. I had fun spending it with them.

Besides Japanese, I also like Korean music. These are my favorite artists ~. I like them because they're young, yet they could play good music and could perform really well.

THANKS to anyone traslating this for me

Can someone verify if what I wrote make sense? Thanks!

こんにちは！元気ですか？私は元気です。でも、少しさび氏です。あなたは？さび氏ですか？
今日は、夢があります。夢の中に私と家族はつりです。私たちはちじょうですよ！凄いね？
じゃあ、今いいですよ！またね。

Practice, practice, practice. Take basic sentences and practice writing them in hiragana. This will force you to remember which hiragana go with which sounds. When I first started learning Japanese, I used these:

おはよう　（ございます）。　・　こんいちわ。　・　こんばんわ。
はじめまして。　（わたしは）　~　です。　どうぞよろしく。
しつれいします。　・　さようなら。　・　じゃあ、　また。

これわ　にほんご　なんと　いいますか。
~ と　いいます。

きいて　ください。
みて　ください。
かいて　ください。
よんで　ください。
いって　ください。

True...it takes practice...
You misspell konnichiwa & konbanwa... it should be written as こんにちは、こんばんは。。。
The "wa" is a particle so it should be written as "は" instead of "わ"... other than that, you're good...

今日は、夢があります。夢の中に私と家族はつりです。私たちはちじょうですよ！凄いね？
じゃあ、今いいですよ！またね。

sabishii -> さびしい or　寂しい or　淋しい (it's しい instead of just し）
I had a dream -> 夢を見ました (yume o mimash!ta) literally "I saw a dream"
To go fishing (if that's what you mean) is つりに行きます (tsuri ni ikimasu) or if you're talking about a dream つりに行きました (past tense) tsuri ni ikimash!ta
Not sure what you mean by 私たちはちじょうですよ

[KAITOU KID.]

Not sure what you mean by 私たちはちじょうですよ

Maybe she meant 上手? Not sure myself either.
Unless she meant chijou as in above ground 'cuz they're on water fishing? or something ~_~
