Ano, sumimasen RC45-san.
sono toransuresshion wa chotto hen desu.

The verb "oshieru" is not a particularly accurate translation of "turning", it means "learn" or "to be taught". The verb, "naru" would be a better translation, as it means "to become," thus "watashi wa nihon jin ni natte imasu" would be "I am becoming Japanese" which is pretty close to "I'm turning Japanese."

The other weird thing about that translation is that the kanji for "Japanese Language" (Nihongo) appears a couple of times, but in a direct translation of 666fast's post there shouldn't be any of them.

Anyway, you've got me curious hehe...where did you get that block of text?

edit: sorry, forgot to mention, I speak some Japanese hehe.

baka = idiot

kuso (koo-so) = shit

chin chin = chinpoko = penis

mune (pronounced "moo-nay") = breast

dame (dah-may) = useless (this one's good if you use it in addition to baka for calling someone an idiot)

kutabakchimae (coo-tah-bah-coo-chi-ma-eh) = fuck you!

kutabare (coo-tah-ba-ray) and zakennayo (za-ken-nah-yo) also mean fuck you in slightly different contexts

oushikuso (oh-oo-shi-coo-so) = bullshit

bobo = pussy/cunt

kusotare (coo-so-tah-ray) = asshole (literally)

That ought to be pretty good for a start lol. Have fun with'em :-)

Ichi nensei to ninenei ni Modern Language Building de maishuu mainichi Nihongo wo totemasu kara watakushi wa ano tatemono wa kirai desu.

(Freshman and Sophomore years I spent every day of every week in the MLB taking Japanese, so I actually really don't like the building)

-actually the main reason I don't like it is that it's way the hell across campus from where I live and I had to drag my sorry arse all the way there for two years lol.

The films are alright though hehe :-)

lol, i bet :P ... thats exactly why i loathed McCracken Hall. no good parking without walking across half the campus. good professors, a few good classes... just way to far when i had classes 15 minutes apart.

my knowlege of japanese is quite limited.
films are the only reason i been there... Western has a similar group called anime addicts, but its not as big... AA is the Anime capitol of michigan.

ok but can anyone write the poor guy his letter now that we can all talk trash in japanese?
Vansquish

hahaha...I'm not sure what he's looking for insofar as a letter is concerned. I mean if he's looking for the Japanese character sets, then I can't do it, as I don't have a program that'll spit that out. If he just wants practice with comprehension of sentences, I can send stuff in Romaji (romanized japanese basically...the stuff I've been typing out phonetically more or less) without much trouble.

^ those translators never work properly, as they only consider the words as individual components....instead of in the context of the entire sentence, or something like that.
