PE firecracker 02-10-2007, 01:57 PM This link was from a photo-supply importer/distributor Kindai where I was checking out some info on status of Forte products. I thought it was kind of goofy, nerdy, and funny in a way that people can find something like this almost everywhere today. Anyway, it's only for photo terms, so why not? :D arigram 02-10-2007, 02:16 PM I know the necessery introduction:
Ohayo Gozaimasu. Watashi no namae wa Arisutotelisu desu. Watashi wa jirisha-jin desu. Watashi wa sukebe desu. jstraw 02-10-2007, 02:43 PM Any Photo-Engrish sites? ;-) Roger Hicks 02-10-2007, 02:56 PM I don't know if this has been linked here before, but in case it has not, here's something for those who want to visit Japan and be able to say a few things in Japanese regarding photography:

Wakarimasen.
I had a half-Japanese girlfriend once. Her mother loaned me 'Japanese in Three Weeks.' I gave it back after a couple of months.
As I say, wakarimasen. (Hope I remember it right -- 'I don't understand'.)
Cheers,

Quick correction here: not "jirisha-jin" but "girisha-jin" with "g".
And I'm sure you're "sukebe." I am, too. In fact all men are... :D firecracker 02-10-2007, 09:26 PM As I say, wakarimasen. (Hope I remember it right -- 'I don't understand'.)

I wish I could study it daily. I have not used it at all for over 10 years. When I saw Dr Tani from Fuji this spring, I could barely make myself understood.
But it would be nice if we all could understand one another.

There is a computer lab down the hall...I could hang out there and find one. My employers discourage me from having too much fun with the students here, however. arigram 02-15-2007, 05:50 PM Even in Japanese, we know what you are, Ari. ;)
