/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So how many people here actually can read/write/speak Japanese?

If you can function in Japanese, how did you get to be able to do that? And why?

Also, here's a test for those of you who think you can do it because you translate some easy sentences people post on here:

-駅の自動改札機は、時々故障するらしく、修理しているのを見かける。(If you've never been to Japan, you probably have to look up 自動改札機)

-迷ったあげく、彼の誘いをことわってしまった。

-この病気は人からへ伝染するおそれがある。

-本日の講義は講師の都合により休講にせざるを得ない。

Just a fun little test for those of you who think you are good in Japanese to find out if you really are ;-)
