TO DO #47: priority: medium: Add some information about how to pronounce the Japanese sounds which are difficult for English speakers.

Traveling in Japan is a joy. Public transport is fast, efficient, clean and punctual. All trains and most buses have sufficient English language signs and announcements, and with your InsideJapan Tours Info-Pack to guide you your adventures through Japan will be remarkably smooth and worry-free! The Japanese are almost universally polite and helpful.

No! Although Japanese is a bit different from European languages it is certainly not a complex language. Grammar is much simpler than European languages. For example there is:

This is very common to all English learners because our minds are hardwired to some sounds and we don't have the mouth muscularity to pronounce some sounds. It takes practice to reform some pronunciation habits. I want to share with you an example of mine. I had a hard time saying the OW sound and the OR sound. Therefore, I had a really hard time saying the words such as house vs. horse, loud vs. lord, now vs. nor, etc. However, I could say how, or, sore, and bore with little trouble.

The maker of the medication pronounces it like this: con- sert -a, with the "sert" syllable sounding like the second syllable of the English word "concert".

Check the Madisound and Morel links on my links page for a starter. They have some near-exact replacements and suitable upgrades for the 1960s/70s speakers which may enable you to restore them to full working condition at minimal cost. If your problem is merely a destroyed surround, they can be replaced at home using few tools, adding years of life to the speaker. I'll post some links to the repair-yourself speaker sites if there's more interest.

Speakers may be one of the simpler installations that takes place but can have its complexities. Angled screwdrivers, panel poppers and other automotive tools are required to remove dash or door panels. Another tricky part of a speaker installation is ensuring that the new speakers are installed in phase. Out of phase speakers will have no bass response and poor imaging. Typically, a speaker installation is relatively inexpensive.

We currently do not have an English-to-Japanese version, and do not have plans to make one at this time.

Most of the interviews at the Career Forum are held in Japanese, but it varies from company to company. Some companies send their HR staff from Japan, and others from the United States. Interviews may be held in both Japanese and English so that the recruiters may assess your language ability.

Japanese is a much more structured and simplistic language than English, in our opinion. For example, Japanese verbs all fall into 3 categories. Godan (lesson 6), Ichidan (lesson 7), and the 2 irregular verbs (also lesson 7). All Godan verbs follow the rules given in lesson 6 with only one exception. All Ichidan verbs follow the rules provided. Irregular verbs have there own rules but there are only 2 of them! English has exceptions for almost every verb and very few rules that can be followed.

Fairly easy in most cases. There are at least 10 different parts places that we buy from located in the US. We have found that the easiest brands to obtain parts for are Yanmar and Hinomoto (usually within 4 days or less). We have also found that some Ford/New Holland parts are interchangeable with Shibaura parts, as with Yanmar/John-Deere, Iseki/Bolens, and Kubota, of course. For example, the Yanmar YM-2500 has the exact same engine as the John-Deere 850.

For each product, we list all components that are included with your system. Unless you have an unusual installation, you will not require any additional parts to complete your installation. All of our systems also come with enough replacement filters for a complete year! You will not have to purchase replacement filters for 12 months! The vast majority of our systems are very easily installed by the homeowner. Detailed installation instructions are provided with your product.

Not all the teachers are native speakers of English. Some of the teachers for the beginners classes speak the students' language to fully understand the students' questions and cater to their needs.

Yes, The Yo-Yo News Network is translating the important bits of this site into Japanese. We are trying to get a German mirror of this site up. If you can help please contact us at greg@pd.net

Many do. We have a large and strong pre-college preparation program for native English speakers. A large percentage of our college freshmen arrive at Pellissippi with reading, writing, or math skills that are not adequate for success in college. We have developed several programs, including the ESL program, that help strengthen students' skills so that they will be able to compete effectively in college-level courses.

Yes! I build exact replacements for many of the "drivers" or speaker elements used in these wonderful speakers. Some parts which I cannot build from scratch I am capable of rebuilding on your chassis to perform just like new again. I can also repair, rebuild or replace many of the crossover networks. I do not, however, have grilles for these products, except for a small number for one or two models.

A7. Many English speakers have difficulty pronouncing 'heuea'. This is pronounced as two syllables heu-ea. Many learners have difficulty with the ng sound (a velar nasal), especially word initially. Some examples include: tetahi 'a, singular', is pronounced as tetehi by some Tainui and Te Arawa speakers, and as wetahi by some speakers in eastern and central regions, and as ngetehi by some Tainui speakers.

You can't. Japanese is a completely different language with no similarities to English. The grammar, alphabet, vocabulary, etc. is all different. Many people think an online translator, like BabelFish, will do the trick. Truth is, machine translations such as that make absolutely no sense. The only way to "convert" English to Japanese, or visa versa, is to be fluent in both languages and translate between the two (not an easy task) or find someone to do it for you.

it has no genders. Apart from people, all objects are 'neuter', not 'masculine' or 'feminine'. So you say 'it' for such things, and do not need to learn any genders. it usually has easy verb endings. Apart from a few 'irregular' verbs, verb endings are easy, and hardly change.

spelling and pronunciation - the spelling of a word may not show what the pronunciation is. This is because English words came from many different sources, learn the phonetic spelling sounds, keep a notebook and use a good dictionary. false friends - because English came from two main sources - old French, and old Anglo-Saxon, there is a very large vocabulary of words.

Post your question in your native language. I'm going to get some flak for this from Anglocentric readers, but I don't care; the reality is that a.g.b-g is a newsgroup read all over the world. As a result, we have many regulars who are multilingual and may be able to help you. If a question is answered in a language you don't understand, and you would like a translation, you can post your request and hope someone offers to help. Ok, that's fine.

No, English grammar is not half as difficult as some other languages, such as German. We have the French to thank for that. In 1066 William the Conqueror brought to England the French language as well as the ability to build impressive castles . French was the official language in England for nearly 300 years and so the English language was kept alive by the common people (rather than the academics who do like to keep the status quo).

This will vary a lot from Examiner to Examiner, and what you find the easiest, or most difficult, will depend upon your unique professional experiences, skill sets, personal interests and aptitudes. Category 4 is often cited as one of the most difficult Categories, and Category 1 is considered one of the easiest.

You can count on a simple installation with any of our Easy-Fit speakers. And in most cases, a new pair of speakers is about the easiest component to install in your vehicle. As a Crutchfield customer, you'll benefit from free, vehicle-specific instructions, free wiring harnesses that eliminate splicing, and our friendly, toll-free technical support. For a more detailed look at what's involved, check out our car speaker installation page.

Setup is a relatively simple procedure. Because of the wide full-spectrum dispersion of our speakers, hard reflections are eliminated. Furthermore, because of the wide range of equalization settings, virtually any room can be equalized without the need of electronic equalizers.

Melt some chocolate by puting a container with the chocolate in a pan of boiling water, stir the chocolate when it is getting hot. Some experimentation regarding what chocolate to use is in place. I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart. Place the beans in a pan (no teflon) and roast them.
