Posting to the Hello! Project members?

Well, to say you are studying Japanese:

�����F�@�@�@�@���͓��{���׋����Ă��܂�.
�Ђ炪�ȁF�@�킽���͂ɂق񂲂��ׂ񂫂傤���Ă��܂��B

I am not sure how long you have been studying Japanese, but even for Japanese people, reading a sentence with no hiragana isn't as easy as reading one with kanji in it. You might like to keep that it mind if you are writing to the Hello! Project members. Nonetheless they will be able to understand your letter.

If you're not so good at Kanji yet, I'm sure the friendly people on this forum will help you out with any questions you have!

Good luck! (^^)

Didn't you just repeat what I wrote? I could have written it in kanji, but since he used none himself I thought stick to hiragana.

It's not that long, It's just that some terms are not the same in english.. Like "Food" It would be Fu-do or.. at least thats what someone told me.

It says, "The white circles are where piece #12 attatches. Do not cut them out."

Hope that helps! w00t!

PS: It's 'pepakura' (=paper craft), i think, not 'pekakura'.

It would be time consuming to reply to it. Not everyone (able to translate it for you) may have the time. Be patient. Someone will reply eventually. Creating multiple threads regarding the same topic is like spam. Wink

This will translate for you. But since I am feeling benevolent, I'll do it.

In all honesty, Babelfish is pretty poor at translating... Puppy Dog Eyes

I recommend popjisyo (http://www.popjisyo.com)

Instead of clobbering the text with an often inaccurate translation it instead gives you pop-up dictionary translations for each word. If you have an idea what something says, or can read a little japanese, this tool can be very helpful.

Thanks. I remember trying it once but couldn't recall the URL. This is going to my bookmarks section.

There's a similar site at http://www.rikai.com. Hmmm...I never heard of popjisyo, but it looks pretty cool.

Cool, I'll have to compare the two sites. Looks like they use a similar concept. To the bookmarks it goes! Dancing
