This is ESSENTIAL Japanese!!!

Vocabulary for playing video games… すごい！

I love those “point and click” games, like crimson room (also the green and blue rooms), the mistery of time and space, and those games from www.gotmail.jp. Most of them are in Japanese!

By the way, the idea of having a “Japanese cuisine” series was also very nice. As long as we have the ingredients and how to prepare it, maybe we could give it try and then post what the result was.

今日の会話は最高でした！

I don’t really play any more because of RSI, but recent favourites would be Halo, Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Call of Duty, anything with shooting FPSs don’t seem to be very popular in Japan, I found the arcadey-style Lost Planet to be pretty poor.

All-time favourite would have to be Final Fantasy VII, closely followed by Metal Gear Solid, so Japanese games definitely aren’t without the charm

By the way, neko-panchi, that’s a great word

chin suru ?
that’s amazing

Cooking episodes would be priceless! I posted that ideal about a week ago in the fourm!

Im just moved to an area in South Philly Called the ‘Italian Market’ where the sell tons of fresh food and fish, and I also just moved in with a Japanese Roommate. I’ll be cooking alot and trying some new styles.

That would be really great if you could teach some words I could really surprise him and other Japanese friends with.

On the topic of Educational video games for the DS, Ive also been intrested in that. I used “Education” as my excuse to buy the DS as my first game system since Sega Genisis. My girlfriend just gave me “Tadashi Kanji Kakitori” and its amazing. Ive also been using the Soma kanji dictionary and there is a Second “Brain Training” game only for in Japan that includes Kanji Quizes. There are some other Kanji games but theyve been a bit to difficult for me and even my native friends think they are difficult.
There are ways to Hack the DS and just download the Japanese games so you dont have to go there to get them, but its somewhat limited.

Anyway, bust out that cookbook Peter and whip out some cooking vocab!

My favorites are Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Alone in the dark, The Elder Scroll IV Oblivion, Splinter Cell, All RPG’S, Doom 3, Quake 4, fighting, All action/Survival Horror, etc! S_R_C

Ohaiyo Gozaimasu! Hajimemashite, James Brian to moshimasu! Yoroshiku onegai itashimasu!

I see that you have moved into the Philadelphia area! Welcome. My name is Brian (as I said earlier). The Italian Market is really a treasure. I think you’ll find the prices unbeatable. My family has been shopping there for years. Make sure that you check out Esposito’s Meats. The freshest meats you’ll ever get. Espositos actually sends meat to Atlantic City casinos as well as many of Philadelphia’s well-known eateries!

If you want someone to chat with and practice Japanese with, please feel free to e-mail me so we can make arrangements to meet and/or exchange phone numbers sometime.

I didn’t know if you were aware that there’s a website: http://jasgp.org/ - and they have set up a free conversation club! I hope to make the next one. I really want to go, so I can learn more Japanese, help someone understand English better, make some friends!

Please e-mail me back from my website (www.briankjames.com) when you can, okay? I’d really like to hear from you. I’m always up for making new friends, and I’m interested in some cooking vocab too!

Nihon ryouri wa monosunoku oishii desu yo!

Ja ne!

This game seems to be nice… good practice!!

Ganbarimashou!!!

Where can I find the transcript of the short conversations that come before Good morning Tokyo. They are really interesting, but I’m not sure about their meaning sometimes.

I would LOVE to hear a lesson on the history of ninja!
