Re: one more translation request

She's a fangirl who doesn't know Japanese particularly well trying to speak it in a cutesy anime voice.

A translation:

"hello everyone, this is maggie
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN
finiched
WOW!!
How about you guys?
I want to go
always always
I want to go
JAPAN!
I'll do my best
You do your best too
see you
byebye"

*claws out eyes*

Re: one more translation request

Thank you very much!

Btw, does she even look Japanese? Or is she just a half Japanese/ half Caucasian girl wanting to go to japan?

Re: one more translation request

does it matter?

her Japanese is crap in spite of including the most basic possible sentence structures (which she's slaughtering). She shouldn't be blogging in Japanese reguardless of her ethnicity. It is indeed an insult to serious learners/speakers of Japanese that she can get this much praise for doing such a shoddy job of such incredibly simple grammar.

She's cute.

That's all.

And that's more than enough on the internet (unfortunately).

Lol, I said the same to my roommate last night who was watching this and I don't even understand Japanese. Probably because of the "tsurara-effect." I told him that she her ratings were probably from her cute face, but she'll probably be ridiculed like crazy by the hardcore people.

EDIT: hahahaha hey if anyone watches the video check out the comments.

"she's got big bazookas"

Re: one more translation request

I think that when you devote 7 years of your life to getting good enough just to speak WITHOUT sounding like an utter idiot: cute, featherhead camgirls eliciting verbal orgasms from fanboys over Japanese learned from 6 months of watching Naruto fansubs just makes you want to go on mass-murder sprees.

Japanese is HARD.

Pretty is genetic.

>_<;

though i dont know how to speak
japanese or even how tro writeits language
i can see where your comming from with this
becuase why work your ass off if someone with
no clue on how to pronounce things gets all the
attention?

for me i think unless you can actually use the language
in a conversation and really use the right grammer
you shouldt even attempt it unless you like looking like
an idiot

But I think that if you start utilizing Japanese into your daily sentences, you will get better faster, and eventually speaking japanese will be just as easy as speaking your first language. You're never going to get better if you don't practice, of course..

She's still young, and will get better over time, imo.

The point is: had she EVER ~actually~ put any effort into studying the language, she'd have been able to do a better job than that. She didn't screw up at anything particularly difficult (nor did she even ATTEMPT to construct complete sentences or utilize any sort of grammar)... she completely failed at VERY basic communication in another language. She came off as a clown and a racist (playing to the most obvious stereotype of Japanese women possible).

If I said "Nihao ma CHING CHANG CHONG" and stretched my eyes out, Chinese people would rightly be offended. Well... putting on a helium voice, bowing at the camera and yammering words you learned in cartoons isn't much of an upgrade ^^;

I'm not insulted that she made herself look stupid. That's her right.

I'm insulted that people who know nothing about Japanese are kissing her butt for it and encouraging her in her amazing "fluency" when what they REALLY mean is "You're a pretty asian girl and I'm a Japanophile. I'm going to save this and fap to it later."

Question: there are hundreds of people on the web who blog in Japanese and are much more competant than this. Why is THIS the video you asked me to translate?

Could it be because she's a petite little asian girl trying to fit your stereotypical ideal of a "living anime character" and the others tend to be rather normal-looking 20-something men who actually speak in their real voices without ridiculous affectations?

Someone on another forum asked me to translate it, and since I don't know Japanese that well, and she was talking fast, I couldn't spell everything she said for the dictionary.


Also, YouTube - 勉強すること


See, she's trying.
