Does anyone know what the point of writing words in Katakana is when the words themselves are commonly written as Hiragana? I see it all the time, with the most common example I think would be kimi (君・キミ).

So, with my work we do a lot of mindless, repetitive work. We're aloud to have music playing with a headphone in to 'help pass the time'. Instead, I wanna use this time wisely and learn some Japanese. I'm wondering if anyone here may know of any good audio books or audio apps on the Android store I...

I've been working as an amateur manga translator for some time now, and I'm trying to find a way to work professionally. Does anyone know of any ways to get a starting level jo as a Japanese to English translator?

786 Okay, so it's like this. I was rewatching Hanasaku Iroha and my mum noticed that they refer to the manager as "Kamisama." I found this unlikely, but I paid attention and sure enough, they call her "kami" in all variations. O kami, Kami-san, Kami-sama, kami, kami, kami. I thought they might...

I have been learning Japanese for 2 years now so I have no problem watching anime without subtitles. My favorite voice actress is Hayashibara Megumi. And I love reading manga as well. I can download raw anime/manga and other anime related contents(like drama cd) from Japanese websites, and I would...

Please come and download if you want to embarrass yourself in your office when your phone suddenly rings with an anime girl voice. :laugh:Just kidding. Use it in your private phone if you're an otaku like me. Here are a few example: 1.The phone is ringing~ who's this guy?? 電話だよー　この人だれ？？ 2....

I want to learn Japanese, but I have a few issues keeping me from doing so at the moment. The first problem I have is that I do not learn well in a completely immersive environment. All the colleges I looked at have classes where the professor never speaks a word of English. For whatever reason,...

I'm going to be taking Japanese 1 next quarter :D but I'm just curious about what others felt about the class. How many semesters/quarters have you taken for Japanese? Did you like the class? Was it hard? etc, etc.

こんな経験がありましたか？ ある時に、ある場所で、ある歌や曲と初めて巡り合えて、惚れてしまいましたこと。 曲が有名かどうか関係ない。 歌ってる人が人気があるかどうかも関係ない。 重要なのは、その瞬間否定できないのトキメキのみ。

「ヒマ」です。 やるべき事はないでわないんですから、「暇」でわありません。 でもあまりにつまらなさすぎですから、ちょっとした現実逃避です。 だから「ヒマ」です。

Anybody on these forums read Japanese? I have been translating game text, and it's pretty easy to guess with katakana text (it's just the Japanese spelling of their best pronunciation of English words, and each symbol just represents a specific sound).
