Mina-san, bet you didn’t see that ending coming! Erm, actually, neither did we…. But there was a lot of good stuff yō stuff in this series, so hopefully you can refer back it to it many times.

avatar OkayamaS says:

Working fine here too. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I agree with JapanesePod101.com, I didn’t see that coming. Where did the mask come from? She talked to this freak for that long and he was wearing a mask the whole time?? Was it one of those George Bush masks? :lol:

avatar Hugo says:

I works fine here too. :grin:

Great lesson! :dogeza:

Interactive to the question of today.
どうして日本語を習っていますか。
色々な日本文化を了解するためです。

avatar ジャービジ says:

日本語を勉強している理由は、もちろんピーターほどかっこうよくなれるためです! :lol:

俺はあそぶために日本語を勉強してる。

トムクルーズのことはびっくりした!すごいぞ。

It really was a long series about YOU NI
1) you ni + naru
2) you ni + suru
3) you ni
4) you ni iu/tanomu
5) tame ni vs you ni

Thank you for all this amazing information!!! :mrgreen:

>>色々な日本文化を了解するためです。
すごい!
I think 理解/rikai(to understand) is more appropriate in this case.
色々な日本文化を理解するためです。

ジャービジ-san
>>日本語を勉強している理由は、もちろんピーターほどかっこうよくなれるためです!
へぇ~。
If you say「ピーターみたいに格好よくなるため」, that sounds more natural.
ピーターさんよかったですね。カッコいいって言ってもらえて。

João Paulo -san
>>俺はあそぶために日本語を勉強してる。
遊ぶために日本語を勉強?すごいですね。 :grin:

avatar Greg says:

who would have thought Tom Cruise’s Japanese was so good?

Although he was the “last samurai” and all…

or maybe his “inner alien” spent some time in Japan.

Greg-san

Actually, in the movie “The Last Samurai”, when Tom Cruise used Japanese we needed subtitles…His Japanese was really bad :mrgreen:

avatar ジャービジ says:

直美先生、訂正ありがとうございました。Originally I used ピーターのように and なる, but then I started thinking in terms of English, which is always a disaster!

How can Tom Cruise play a samurai with no topknot and that beard? I don’t know how people still take him seriously after all that ridiculous Scientology stuff anyway. L. Ron Hubbard - mediocre science-fiction novelist turned Messiah.

avatar Jason says:

This is off-topic, but doesn’t “Scientology” sound like something some loser would make up to try to sound impressive?

“Yeah, baby! I got *my* doctorate in Scientology!”

avatar Greg says:

Someone ought to make some kind of funny youtube clip entitled “hollywood actors who had a crack at Japanese, but didn’t do too well…”

add Sean Connery and Uma Thurman to the list

Not that I’m dissing Sean Connery, I mean, how could you?
