As mentioned above, English in Japan is cool, particularly with the youngsters. As a result, it has become very common to see few words or phrases of English in a Japanese song, particularly in the refrain. I would go so far as to say that almost all pop songs have at least a few words of English in them (helped, of course, by the large number of English words borrowed into the Japanese language).

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.

That's a good question! The following chart ([] indicate modifications, accents missing) was produced by Luigi Barbasetti in 1932:

Some of the tunes in The Sacred Harp were composed in England during the period 1690-1810, not for cathedrals or royal chapels, but for churches and chapels in towns and countryside, and for urban charity hospitals. Many tunes were written by New Englanders between 1770 and 1810, among them Boston tanner William Billings, New Haven merchant Daniel Read, and Vermont schoolmaster and innkeeper Justin Morgan.

The Great Japanese Dictionary has 2380 pages each containing around 75 words. That's around 180,000 words and is probably not all of them. Even listing the thousands of commonly used words would take a long time. Do you know of a good Japanese phone directory? I have a Japanese friend I would like to get a hold of. There are approximately 125 million Japanese. That's around half of the population of the United States.

Well, words beginning with BR are always good. Brass. British. Brilliant. Very powerful, wouldn't you agree? Amazing is quite a good one, with slightly too much stress on the middle syllable. Wigglyduck. That's a good one, too. Wigglyduck. Wigglyduck.

I don't do English pop/rock songs unless specifically requested, because I have a great disdain for the modern pop genre. But that's not the main reason - there are plenty of tab sites out there for English songs, but a serious lack of good anime music tab sites (sheet music is aplenty, though). Anime guitarists and those who can't read sheet music are a sorely forsaken lot.

For economic reasons, it is common to add one or more bonus tracks to Japanese releases, in order to avoid Japanese retailers trying to sell the import releases. Retailers can get import releases for a lower price, so they can make more money if they actually sell these for the regular sales price. With added tracks to the Japanese version of an album, fans are encouraged to buy this version, and not the imported versions.

Well, Eddie Vedder's lyrics are hard to decipher, and like everyone, music books get them wrong. The tab is usually correct, but lyrics, use your best judgement. Also, keep in mind that the band improvises a lot during their live performances. Eddie sometimes changes lyrics to songs (i.e. Yellow Ledbetter) So, if you do try and transcribe lyrics yourself, you should try to transcribe the studio version if you want transcribe "official" lyrics.

Practice and repetition and practice and repetition. We break each song apart into smaller parts and learn a little at a time until we can put it all together.

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.

A Japanese web site is likely to generate some sales enquiries in Japanese. There are a number of solutions to this. You could request that your Japanese clients make their bookings or place their orders in English. Alternatively, Access Japan can assist you with translation of your e-mail sales enquiries. You can choose to receive all Japanese sales enquiries directly from your clients and then selectively forward them to us for either a summary or a concise translation.

TO DO #41: priority: medium: Check this is from Portuguese or not. Post to sci.lang.japan about it or look in Google.

I blame it on an overdose of anime/Megatokyo/online Japanese dictionaries. When I first started the comic, I believed, naively, that a sprinkling of Japanese vocabulary would work in a comic that took place outside Japan (heck, the story doesn't even take place on Earth!). When I grew out of that phase, the use of random Japanese became a rather frivolous homage to the elements that most inspired the creation of Kurenai Mashin.

Our English-speaking staff come from five different countries; staff members often write in their native English. You may contact us at any time. We will be happy to tell you more about how the site operates and provide details of any issue that may interest you.

When we see appended to the genus or species name some English words (not Latin) with single quotes around them as in Genus species 'English Words' it tells us that the plant is a named hybrid or cultivar (cv.). For these names Latin is not allowable. Sometimes they are formally described by botanists in prestigious journals (e.g. Tavarorbea 'Red Leopard' by Dr.

English, being the lingua franca of the modern world, is very popular in Japan. English titles are used by many artists but do not necessarily reflect the language of the lyrics.

You can enter any song/hymn into Words of Worship, and even liturgy or other text. Songs can be typed in manually (ideal if you have songwriters in your congregation), or imported from songbook CDs. You can also share songs with other churches who use Words of Worship. For legal reasons we are currently unable to supply many songs ourselves. To project copyright protected songs, you must have a valid CCLI license.

Unfortunately, acquiring a license to publish the lyrics and music to a song is much more complicated than acquiring the license for recording a song. We currently do not have such licenses and don't see including lyrics in the near future. Maybe it will come eventually, though! Many of our customers just listen to the demo track and learn the words from that. To check the lyrics, others use internet lyric sites such as http://www.todayschristianmusic.com/lyrics.htm and http://songbook.

The words of the Australian National Anthem are on this website (see home page). The words of the National Anthem and other popular Australian songs are on the National Australia Day Council website (www.australiaday.gov.au/pages/page55.asp). Advance Australia Fair was composed around 1878 (date of the first public performance) by Peter Dodds McCormick.

All of our units have been converted from the original Japanese OS to English OS. We do this before shipping.

Currently, the GENDO is available only in English and Japanese. As our regional web sites continue to expand, additional languages will be available. Check back periodically for details.

We screen all Japanese anime and movies in their original language, Japanese, with English subtitles.

If you have a recent version of either MS Windows (Windows 2000 or XP) then go to the international settings in the control panel and add Asian/Japanese Language support. Older systems (Windows 95, 98, ME) require quite a bit of tinkering to get Japanese to work properly. Time to upgrade! If you have an Apple Macintosh with OS X, you will find International settings in the System Preferences.

Oh, well, what the heck. Go on, take it, take it all, as far as I am concerned, you can take a whole sentence. See if I care.
