Hello Hello Danchan
I could get your meaning, so don't worry please.
and mine is also... maybe it's wrong wrong wrong!!
I don't care but... if you care, maybe it's time to invite someone native. Hey Laurie! Kim! Sara! come on in!!
anyway, please keep writing something, or
you can make up new topic in this community, would be nice.
Let's hung out!!
Hi !!
I understand it's hard to use english in life.
but I am luckey, I'm organizing International dyke community for long time. I have many gaijin friends now so, don't need to pay much money for Nova or Ion.
Well I think it's good to have international friends in Japan, do you think? you ask me how?
I don't know but if you are living in Tokyo, there is a lot of chance to meet gaijin. Good luck on you.
by the way I'm not Mr. I'm Miss. but you don't need to use these word for me, just call me Chubabe!
I can say that you should date with someone who can't speak Japanese. it's the best way.
me? I had an american girl friend before and it was good to learn English. she was a very talker so I had to listen to her well everyday.
so she couldn't make her Japanese lesson with me though.
now, I'm watching movie for English lesson too,
"Sex and the City" was good one to learn English particullery the words for love affairing and NY culture.
please try and learn some conversation skill.
Hi Ayu !
Wow we got another,am glad.
by the way, is your room mate Japanese?
If so I can understand it, but why he dosen't like your English... ?
anyway, please write here anything!
I love to talk in English but sometimes, when I'm alone with native speakers... it's so hard to enjoy the conversation, I was just smiling, being quiet...
so this is cool, we can talk anyway.
>Ayu, darlin, I think it's strange a little bit to talk in English with Japanese people at home... I like it though.
Sure you don't need to care, you can do anything you want ! HERE!!
by the way
I love to speak English sometimes, cuz I feel it makes change my feeling or personality.
particurally in love, English helps me a lot to be different feeling, I mean
I can't say "Aishiteruyo"(am too shy) with my lover but much easyer to say
"I love you" for me. because it's maybe not my language.
but falks
Um I feel we should be carefule to use this words "I love you"with gaijin, please don't say after first date.
it's too early.
"I love you" sounds more heavy (in the relationship, not between friends or family) than Japanese people think.
anyway
have a nice weekend!!
I'll go to club and our cabin in Chiba with some friends from Us. Au. might be good practice for me.
Ciao!!
Hey everyone, I think it's great that you are all speaking English together!
Ayu, I think your friends are jealous of your English skills :)
Chubabe, very good advice about saying "I love you" to a gaijin. I had my heart broken because when my ex-girlfriend said "I love you" I thought she meant it like a gaijin means it... she's Japanese and maybe she didn't know what a strong meaning that phrase has for a gaijin. When she said it, I let my defenses down and allowed myself to fall in love with her. Big mistake! She didn't really mean it the same way I did...
I agree with Chubabe that you definitely shouldn't say "I love you" after a first date. I think even after 10 dates is still early to say "I love you". You should not say it until you really start to get to know someone's true personality and what is inside their heart....
Anyway that's enough from me about broken hearts ;)
Interesting what you say about English making you feel different, Chubabe. Some of my Japanese friends who have lived overseas say they feel free when they speak English, but when they speak Japanese they have to be respectful to older people and they can't have as much fun...
Sorry folks this is a long first post. Time for me to get some sleep.
Hi all, I didn't check mixi a couple of days, but it's good you guys are talking here, cool.
Welcome Kurikuri, and sorry about that. I have the same expeariance before, I had American Girl friend.
when I said to her "I love you" first time, then she said to me "why?" I was like "??????" at that morment, but now I know. I've learned many different feeling about "in love" with my gaijin friends and "Sex and the city"
I got many words as...
Flirting, Bonding, Beer google, non monogamas, etc..
those are difficult to transrate in Japanese, interesting isn't it? I think there are more and more,
is how each cultures are different.
and it's hard to learn in school.
but it's more interesting to me to learn other culture through the language than learning just skill.
anyway,
welcome everyone.
Michi, Andy'n Philly
i like communication with various people, too.
So it is neccesaary for me to learn English.
But learning another language is so diffcult.
Now, I m thinking it is better for me to join in the school for English convarsation (like Nova).
becaeuse i cant get an opportunity for makeing frends from another countries....
Hi all
Danchan, I think it's cool to go to school. I'm thinking that sometimes, because my English is a little brorken. my friends don't fix my misstake each time in conversation if it's wrong, if they can understand.
I was not good student in school, and maybe I won't.
but sometimes I feel, I need STUDY!
Hi all English lover!
I don't know why but today, I want to write my intro here, my mood is so.
my name is Chubabe! as you know, I love English.
I'm organizing international Girls Bar in Shibuya on every Wed nite. Girls bar meant not only for women. Girls and Girls friendly boys.
I'm a lesbian,(dyke) it means, I love women. I'm proud of it. I'm organizing another lesbians activities like womans retreat, dance party etc for long time, our bar has a lot of gaijin dykes. that's why I have many gaijin friends.
we did many activities with gaijin and Japanese from 10years ago, ( I couldn't speak English in the begining though) anyway, I've learned many things from those people from all over the world.that's great isn't it?) not only about language and now.. I'm really comfortable to be in the international mixed culture atmosphere.
Sexualty, nationalty, everything.
Our bar has a lot of cultural differency, but it's so nice and maybe we all feel the same.
anyway, so through the English, we can communicate with many people from many countries as we know.
it means, um, quite nice yeah?! I can say that clearly after I organized this bar for 4years.
so you guys can join us if you want. it's not nessesary to be lesbian or gay, if you are interesting in my talking, and have curious, and if you are gay friendly... welcome!! anyway....
see you guys (or not) maybe we will be able to have an off line party sometimes in the future at our bar.
how do you think?
To tell the truth, listening your talk, I have been interested in your bar.
I d like to go to the place.
I'm not a resbian and I have a boy friend.
But I dont care of resbian, gay and so that.
I think "the lover" is " The person I love in".
It depends on more the parsonarity than gander, I guess.
tha's cool Danchan! I was thinking Danchan is a boy before. and please join everyone, please take your friend too. our bar has a lot of interesting gaijin girls and they are all friendly. there are many non gay people. you don't need to worry anything. it's so fun every wednseday. anyway a map is

we're planing a new dance party with wonderfule shows.

those are not only for gay people, so anyone can come.
I don't want to have the wall between another sexuality people, it's my policy. DIVERCITY is the aime. so please join!
is it too great? I don't think so, but the bar is more comfortable for everyone I can tell. please take your boy friend, Iggy (my mixi) is a man and he comes the bar sometimes and help me to cook. don't worry anything.
anyway, I've got nice croud again last night. I cooked Vegitarian thai food. I don't know why but we have many vegitarian costumers so I should cook something vegitables. I'm noto sure but people say my cooking is pretty good. please try it too.

hi, my english name is dallas and i living in hodogaya district, yokohama.
this my first time to come here and very glad to meet with
you all.
and want to chat with you about everything in english.
i do think if deciding to learn some language and you should get crazier.
Hello Dallas. welcome!
I had a friend Dallas, same as you, she is Austraian,
was the most crazy girl which I've ever met.
Great dancer and we went to club sometimes... she left Japan though... so that name sounds crazy.
anyway...
getting crazy is important to me, hope many of Japanese can make it and enjoy life more. cheers!
(don't be too crazy)
Hello. I'm nabe-chan. It might make a mistake in English liking it because it is study still shortage. I'm learning the child education at the university. My dream is to become a teacher at the elementary school. Every day that the examination grind can end continues now. Absolutely, I want to pass!!! The subject of English is added for the fifth former and the sixth-former student, and the place where English is used more and more will have extended also in the elementary school in the future. I want also to make the study of Engrish more.
Hello everybody!!
I'm CK. Why am I called CK is that I grow shiitake mushrooms as a farmer in Niigata. then my friends took the first letter and the last one. like -SHI - i ta -KE-!!
