Learn English with Tokyos

[Tokyo-Saint]

I know that the muppet show is a bit like the BBC and that everything must be balanced, this was pointed out by Bletcher when bear was reviewing 50 shades of grey.

 

I also know that we have some new Japanese players and some new fans since we have become all premier league again. Therefore as a public service, I will be not only teaching English people how to speak Japanese but also teaching Japanese people to speak English. I don't time to teach you everything so I will just focus on the essentials, stuff you will need for a visit to St Mary's and maybe a night out on the town.

 

Lesson 1

 

"You are so good" - this means "Anata wa totemo yoidesu" or "あなたはとても良いです"

Should't you be posting this in Japanese?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Never teach people in their own language Tim, if at all possible anyway. Japanese learn English from 5 years old, sometimes earlier. They generally all have a basic grasp of English. The point of this thread is to teach them some phrases that may be useful when visiting our fair city and watching our football team.

 

For your benefit:

What's japanese for 'I hope we get relegated so we can win some games again'?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Wrong thread Cheesy, this is the one for Japanese wanting to learn English. As a one off it is... Watashi wa, wareware wa futatabi ikutsu ka no gēmu ni katsu koto ga dekiru yō ni wareware wa kōkaku eru negatte imasu

Oh sorry, in that case, how do you say 'Watashi wa, wareware wa futatabi ikutsu ka no gēmu ni katsu koto ga dekiru yō ni wareware wa kōkaku eru negatte imasu' in english?

Who knows?

[Cheese on Toast]

Who knows?

 

No worries, i'll look it up

[Bearsy]

So them symbol things they use to do their writings... tell me bout them. Is each one like a letter, or is each one like a whole word, or is each one like a syllable. How many is there? Does they take a lot longer to do japan witing than to do england writing?

[Bearsy]

Also, this thread is good, but it needs more hanna minx. If i could only keep one thread, I'd keep the other one!

[Tokyo-Saint]

Bear! This isn't for questions about Japanese, this is the balancer to keep the Japanese happy. Of course you ain't going to be loving this one, you already speak perfect English, that has been demonstrated on a number of occasions.

 

Ok, just for you, Those pictures are called Kanji and each one makes up a basic word. The easiest one to learn is the square, this one means mouth.

 

You can also make longer more complicated words by putting two of them together, for example if you put the kanji for in next to the mouth square one, it means entrance or the out and the square means exit.

 

This is very important stuff to know, especially if you want to be getting one of these tattooed on your body forever. I once saw a guy in Bali, who was all beefcake like, walking around chatting up women and posing. A bit like Mark Wright on steroids. Anyway, this guy obviously went in for a tattoo and said I want the symbol for big or strong and the symbol for man. Put them next to each other as I am a strong man and these Asian b!tches need to be knowing that.

 

The problem is, like I said, when two are together the meaning can change. This dude was walking around with Kitchen written on him. All the Asian birds thought he was like a magnet or Multiwood something & were s******ing behind his back.

Why does Man + Strong = Kitchen?

[Tokyo-Saint]

It doesn't cheeser, that's the point.

 

For example, 'add' means one thing in English, 'dress' means one thing in English but 'address' means something completely different. I guess it is the same in other languages.

I took your wise words to heart Tokyo, so, for reasons which aren't entirely clear I translated them from Japanse to English back to Japanese then into Russian, from there into Azerbajani and back into English. The result has a poetry and fundamental truth for all us.

 

"If possible, all the languages ​​of the people does not mean Tim. Sometimes, before learning English in Japan for 5 years. They have a general idea of the English language. They can be useful when a beautiful city to visit, with some of the expressions of our football team in terms of this topic"

[Tokyo-Saint]

That had me in tears at points Tim. I laughed and cried, truly touching words, something in there for everyone.

Other than the lady that will never drown, I think I'm finding this thread more interesting and useful for learning Japanese.

 

I'm getting the hang of it too.

 

 

 

 

 

Whaddya know. I've been learning for two days and I'm nearly fluent.

 

It must take a long time to write things in Japanese though.

 

I imagine that one of my shorter posts could take me days to complete.

[Jonnyboy]

I prefer lessons with the freaky-eyed knockers girl. Where does she live?

[Saint-Fred]

It doesn't cheeser, that's the point.

 

For example, 'add' means one thing in English, 'dress' means one thing in English but 'address' means something completely different. I guess it is the same in other languages.

 

Surely it's add + ress or ad + dress otherwise it would be adddress?

 

Anyway when are you teaching them "Lee's not playing today" that is a must?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Ok Jteam,

 

Ready for another exciting and useful English lesson?

 

Unfortunately, although most of Southampton is safe, like any big city there are a few dangerous areas and unsavoury people around. Of course, it is always advisable to avoid them (I am sure many of you J-saints fans have Charming Man on ignore already), however if they can not always be avoided you may find this lesson useful.

 

If you do come across Turkish or Sour Mash on the way or way back from the game, these sentences may come in useful.

 

1) Take anything you want = Anata ga hoshī mono o toru or for the lower level students あなたが欲しいものを取る

2) Spare me my life = Watashinojinsei o oshima or 私の人生を惜しま

 

In addition you may want to divert his/their attention so that you can escape.

 

Nice shoes, are they Italian? = Sutekina kutsu wa, karera wa Itaria-godesu ka

 

&

What do you think of the proposed stadium expansion plans? = Anata wa, teian sa reta kyōgi-ba no kakudai o dō keikakuda to omoimasu ka

 

This should give you enough time to run away, get to the stadium, buy something from the shop, get some photos taken and then get a season ticket waved at you from another stand.

 

Enjoy your trip!

Compromise. I'm prepared to stick with this thread if Tokyo just dresses up like her and posts up a cleavage shot.

[Tokyo-Saint]

[buctootim]

Nice! I adore everything about that shot Tokyo! Junoesque, I love astronomy so the moon face is a lovely surprise, and a ping pong ball. I feel hot.

Thats one of Dubai Phils balls by the look of it got little craters all over it. or if its one that he's been looking after for Tiger probably has little creatures all over it.

You lost me Toke.

 

I know this thread is racist and aimed at Japanese people only but which one of the crims was Turkish and which one was Sour Mash? Or was one of them This Charming Man?

 

I particularly liked the one (Turkish?) with the bandanna tied under his nose. It takes some guts to eschew common usage guidelines like that. I only guessed at Turkish because I know he has a keen interest in setting fashion trends.

 

BTW. That video has instantly moved into the top 3 of a select group of videos that I've seen in my life labelled weird as ****.

 

And yes I was expecting the girl to say to the crims "Nice shows, are they Italian?" 28 times accompanied by a series of robot-like calisthenics moves.

[dubai_phil]

Oi leave my balls out of this.

 

I'm having a hard time keeping up with 50 Shades.

 

I can't spread myself onto threads about Oral gymnastics

[Tokyo-Saint]

Ok bletch & Crew,

 

Get ready to adjust you weird video league table because here comes another lesson.

 

Now, everyone knows that is is practically impossible to buy any food or drink at St Mary's unless you are not too bothered about missing the games. I guess some of you will be happy enough visiting the shop, getting some Lee & Maya photos and after a bit of season ticket waving, you will sacrifice the drab first half to get some refreshments.

 

Now I am warning you now, this is not advisable. Don't be taken in by the smell of the cooked onions from the burger bars, this is just mind games to make you think they are selling actual food. The 10 inch donkey d!icks sold downstairs are probably your best best bet as they are mostly bread. However, these are usually gone by about kick off or 2 mins into half time for the games that aren't against man U or Chelsea.

 

If you do insist in eating in the ground though, your delicate Asian stomachs, used to carefully made soy based meals may struggle to cope with the road-kill on offer.

 

Therefore today's lesson may come in handy when approaching the friendly and helpful stewarding staff.

 

I have a bad case of diarrhoea = Watashi wa geri no warui kēsu o motte iru or 私は下痢の悪いケースを持っている

 

Come on class Renshū shimashou!
