You kill both of those tests gurl. Anw, today the "handmade" phone case arrived. My friend drew it specially for me so I can put it in the back of my transparent case. But by accident the painting was ruined, so we had to look for an online store and send them the picture of the painting for custom made. She was so upset because it came out not as clear and pretty, and it was ment for my early bday present We're in 2 different countries so it was hard to arrange things, but still I appreciate all her dedication so pretty!!! 4 hours ago, Murieleirum said: Also, me and my Japanese teacher do not share the same idea of 'knowing how to translate' a language. She wanted the translation to be done as literal as possible - even if it sounds incorrect or weird in Italian. But I simply do not agree. Being able to translate the language doesn't mean knowing the dictionary definition of each word - it means getting the sense, the meaning out of a phrase, that is as close as possible to the meaning that the speaker/writer wanted to give. So if I write 'Hokusai's exhibition' instead of 'Hokusai's painting', it's not because I don't know that 絵 means picture/painting - it's because, inserted in the context, in Italian it was much more correct to make the little shift in meaning, instead of applying the most literal translation and ending up with an incorrect Italian phrase. ('Next week, Hokusai's paintings will arrive in Rome' makes no sense to me. When you talk realistically, you say 'Next week, Hokusai's exhibition will arrive in Rome'.) Ooooh yeah, that has happened to me what i do instead is try to translate literally in class, anything else, i translate it as i like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the price I have to pay for not translating like a 10 year old, I am happy to pay for it. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydroblade Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So i formally introduced my boyfriend to the Hanyu yesterday... I used NHK 2015 Seimei. The first quad made his eyes go wide. He was compleeeeetely immersed in the performance from that point, and i saw him admiring the way he landed (a man after my own heart...). Then came the crossrolls... I think i saw his soul struggling to stay in his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I had a new assistant who didn't really care for sports (he's a billards fan), and he got curious about this figure skating thing I did. So I showed him LGC SP from Helsinki, Boyang's 4Lz, and Yuzu's Seimei. Then threw in a healthy dose of Sui/Han and Savchenko/Massot. He was grabbing his hair and going "Omg, this is crazy!" within minutes. His view of figure skating as being a fluffy thing, was changed forever. And then he asked me about spins, so of course, I show Yulia. XD btw guys, I might be joining you guys in Jpn studies soon. Company asked if anyone wanted to study, so I signed up. The bad part is...we're gearing to pass N4 within 5 months. *gulp* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Holy fuck is that possible" I have plans to show him more videos if only to make him understand why i like it so much.

I was watching a clip with the original Seimei backward crossrolls, and decided to show him. He watched with rapt attention but didn't say anything. I asked him, "You want to watch that again?" He said, "Yeah, sure, whatever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neenah Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Why is it that nothing in my life ever go as planned I feel like I should be anticipating the failure of plans instead of success, but then that would be another plan and it would probably go wrong as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
