O ha yo, meoko

actually i have learned some japanese in high school, but unfortunately i have fogot most of them Confused

it will be great if you can help me with picking up japanese. how long have you learned chinese? i think the best way to help with pronouciation is to speak to the native speakers. if it is possible, we can chat by msn, skype, yahoo messenger... as what you like.

then i'll try to speak some japanese, i hop u can understand that:

Ko ni chi wa, meoko, wa da chi wa German Aachen dai ga ku no yi ji nan sai des, wa da chii no na ma ei wa Li Tan des, do so yo lo chi gu o nei ayi chi ma su! Smile

Hi, meoko

Thank you for teaching me japanese. I want to speak to you too! It's absolutely not so easy to meet such a girl like you, who speaks all the language which i speak or want to learn (Chinese, German, English, Japanese). I've understood the japanese sentence you' ve written. It seems to be that you are also freshmen in the university in Japan, right?

Actually I've been in the university in Shanghai for 2 years. In that time i learned German. Because of the Exchange-Programm between my univ. in shanghai and RWTH (Technology University of North-Rhein-Westfallen Aachen), the univ. which i'm now studing in, i decided to come here. Now i major in Electrical Engineering.

It will be wonderful if you will come to China or Germany once. I go back to China regularly twice a year. If you come, I will show you many interesting places, and naturely many wonderful foods. Wink

I'm also considering about a trip to japan but in the moment i have no time, i must write my semester tests. Crying or Very sad

so, maybe we can write to each other by Email, my Email address is in my profile.

Greetings from Germay, 6 hours later to Beijing Time and 7 hours later to Tokyo time Wink

Mr. Admiral

Verstehst du Deutsch? Bist du in Deutschland geboren? In welcher Stadt bist du denn? Ich studiere hier Elektrotechnik, freut mich, dich kennenzulernen. Was machst du jetzt denn?

Ich kann San-Da nicht, aber ich habe Karate in meiner Oberschule gelernt. Smile

Hi meoko,

being a nurse is really cool, that's a very beautiful job, but also lots of hard work. When do you get online usually? I'm looking forward to write you or chat with you. Do you have MSN or sort of things like that? I'm doing fine in these days.
