I was so sad to see that this group had become inactive that I have decided to try and keep it alive! (^O^)/
I am currently in the process of removing members who have not been active on the site for over 10 weeks. If I
mistakenly delete you, please don't hold it against me. Just re-apply and I'll try to add you back as soon as possible.

Additionally, if you are a Native speaker of Japanese and would like to pass on your knowledge and help other members, please contact me via PM.

Quote by angelxxuancheri it's cool...what would be a good idea is like post a lesson every few days and discuss maybe, just maybe, more activity will spark and more can contribute...sometimes private lessons aren't always fun :P
I was planning that. I'm making some lessons now but just not to make it too long, I'll try a few first then get deeper.

Quote by angelxxuannice keep that up it's most helpful but I would like to add
Konnichiwa can also be used at any time I was told it could anyways it's just a very informal any time before "noon" and I know a lot of friends use it to each other and now a days they don't look at you weird or penalize you if you do use this as a greeting...they sort of over look some of the things us "outsiders" use
I meant no disrespect by this just love to use my useless knowledge hehe
Thanks for adding some good info! That helps too!
I'm having a hard time making the next lesson but I'll try to post it this week.

This is my first post here so I'll try to share some basics for this week.
Let's start with greetings!
These sentences/phrases are commonly heard in subtitled anime series. To those who know or want to clarify something, please tell me. I'll share here how I was taught by my sensei.
Ohayou (gozaimasu) : Good Morning
Usage: Greetings for morning (obviously). If you add gozaimasu it becomes a
polite greeting.
Konnichiwa : Hello / Good Afternoon
Usage: Hello or good afternoon. I remembered sensei told us that they use this greeting for afternoon starting at 10am,
but 10am isn't really afternoon I don't know why though. ^_^x!
Konbanwa : Good evening
Oyasumi / Oyasuminasai : Good night
Usage: when a person is about to sleep/rest for the night. Oyasuminasai is the polite form of Oyasumi.
Sayounara : Goodbye
Doumo (or Domo)/ Arigatou/ (doumo) arigatou (gozaimasu) : Thanks / Thank you / Thank you very much
Usage: Doumo is plain form, the same with arigatou. The polite form is doumo arigatou gozaimasu.
Douitashimashite : You're welcome
Sumimasen : I'm sorry / Excuse me / Thank you (some do use this as thank you)
Shitsureishimasu : Excuse me
Ojamashimasu : sorry for intruding
Usage: I commonly hear this when you go to a friend's/someone's house unplanned (meaning the person you're about to
visit doesn't know you're coming). So upon entering the house, you greet the people there saying 'ojamashimasu'. This is
a polite form.
Gomennasai : I'm sorry
(O)genki desu ka? / genki ka? : How are you?
Usage: Adding 'O' before genki becomes polite.
Dou shimashita ka? : What's the matter?
Odaijini / Kiotsukete : Take care of yourself.
Usage: (needs clarification again) I think Odaijini is the polite form but kiotsukete is commonly used.
Okaeri / Okaerinasai : welcome back
usage: Used to welcome back (commonly at home). Polite form is okaerinasai.
Tadaima : I'm back
usage: Used by the person who just came back (from work, school, etc.)
This is it for now. By next week or hopefully this week, I'll start with vocabulary and sentence construction.
Arigatou for invite!
