    Japanese anime for beginners

    Hello everyone

    I have just started to learn Japanese and was wondering if anyone knows of some good anime series that I can watch that would help me. Preferably ones that are perhaps more suited to beginners if possible. I have watched all of the studio ghibli films and absolutely love them. I have also recently watched an anime film called The girl who leapt through time which was pretty cool.

    Recommendations for any good Japanese films will also be very much appreciated. I have watched many horrors such as Cold Fish, Audition, Shields of Straw, Lessons of Evil and also a few crazy ones like Tokyo Decadence. I also have Visitor Q downloaded, but haven't got round to watching it yet. 


    ありがとうございます :)

    Thank you for all of the comments it is highly appreciated. I think I may have come accross a little bad and perhaps should have worded that a little better, I do not think ALL Chinese shows are cheesey just the ones that I have watched seem to have that tendancy. 

     

    I do love a lot of Chinese and Hong Kong films though and studied Asian Cinema at times during my film lectures at univiersity. 

     

    @ Alan thanks for the comment - I am aware of Chinese films and have watched a lot, my favourite Chinese director is probably Jia Zhangke with films such as 'Still life' and 'A touch of sin'. The Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai is my favourite though but their is not much Mandarin in his films, mainly Cantonese. 

     

    Once again many thanks everyone for the help and I will be checking some of these out.

    新年可以给我新的机会 我正在在图书馆里,很多时间我没写中文所以我觉得今年需要有更多专心。但是,说这个东西比做这个东西更容易。生活有太多娱乐。无论如何,现在需要做选择我写什么! 我开心,因为新年可以给我其他的机会。这三月我打算去广州教英文,所以我会上课进步我的普通话。我感觉一点兴奋,因为我喜欢广州,很多次我去过,但是还是没住过。我在中国住过两次,但是都次跟一个人在房子住在。下次我去,我自己住在,所以那个时候是我第一次没有房子朋友。我写房子朋友因为在英国我们说 ‘flatmate“。翻译是房子朋友因为我不知道用中文怎么写,知道你们可能没有这个说法哈哈。 虽然我感觉一边开心一边兴奋,我也有压力。这四月我成为二十六岁 - 不好玩!很多朋友有孩子,房子,车子,什么的什么的。都我没有哈哈。现在我不在乎,因为我不知道如果我想要有孩子,但是我知道我越来越没有时间开始我的事业。教英文是临时的工作,我主要的目标是说流利的普通话,就找工作;翻译的工作,政府的工作,这些事。我希望,两年后我会开始我的事业。然后一年在广州,我觉得我应该去北京,那里一年祝在学习中文,所以我的中文剋有更多变化,还有惠东了其他的方言。我觉如果我想要做普通话用的工作,懂了其他的方言是非常重要! 我不是唯物主义的,只有想小房子,但是在英国房子特别贵!我觉得世界有太多人,这个时候每个人想要有钱,生活非常竞争的!在我的国家很多人很资本主义,需要有很多东西,钱是他们的上帝。我的国家有很多洗脑的人,媒体做他们的选择。我真的不喜欢我的国家的媒体,连一位名人我没感觉他们特别。这个东西我写太模糊,我的中文太有限。一天我希望终于会神聊 deep discussion? 再说了,我希望今年会有很多专心学习中文,希望这个专心没褪色的。虽然我还是慢慢学,慢慢学比没有学更好。钱不是我的动机,有成绩是我的动机,如果一天我会说流利的普通话,就找普通话用的工作,我一定成为很开心,也很满意。感觉满意因为我做我喜欢的工作,做我理想职业,不是只有道钱的工作。 Maybe many mistakes so please help me :D

    My friend

    Sandro has been my friend for almost ten years now. I first met him at a (here use a because the reader doesnt know which concern it is. You use 'the' when the reader knows. If you mention it again in hte text you can use 'the' because we have already been introduced to it and know which conert) concert of one of my favorite guitar players. After the gig, we found ourselves at the same table in the club and our common friends then introduced me to him. He was friendly and sociable; we started to talk about music and realised that our tastes were the same.

    Physically, Sandro looks younger than most other man in their forties. It’s not only because he does sports and has a muscular build, but his dress/fashion style is also modern and informal. His hairstyle is something similar to the mohawk. He prefers wearing casual clothes, and for concerts he always wears a pair of ripped jeans and a t-shirt with a cool inscription. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a classic suit.
    As for his personality, Sandro’s most striking characteristic is his sense of humour, he travels a lot with his band and when we met for a cup of coffee he spoke/talked (past tense) about his adventures for ages . He’s very good-natured and if you need help he’s always here.

    Sandro is not very patient and is easily annoyed when somebody doesn’t keep their promises. To tell you the truth, Sandro himself tends to be quite absent-minded; forgetting about birthdays and arranged meetings. I know he doesn’t want to offend anybody: it happens only because he’s always busy doing something. He spends a lot of time working and often stays in his studio recording new tunes till midnight.

    All in all, he’s a good friend. Since the day we met we have grown very close and I’m very fond of him, even if he forgets about my birthday again. 

     

    Very good! Keep up the good work. I hope my corrections help :)

    Do you want to learn Chinese?

    Some people say Chinese is difficult to learn, but I think it is very easy haha. This is because I am Chinese. In fact, all languages are dificult to language learners when learning a new language. I have been studying English for many years, but I still don't speak English that much, except in English class.

     

     

    I can hardly speak English. I always just say"hi" "oh my god""sorry""thank you""what"and so on in life. All right the topic runs, if you want to learn Chinese you can contact me. I can teach you some dialects. It is very interesting. Have you ever heard the Chinese version of Let It Go?

     

    You need to pracitce grammar :) Mainly in how you write sentences and your use of . (full stops) and , (commas). I can help your learn if you want to be language partners and help with my Mandarin :)

    I need to take some courses on knitting. On of my favorite things to do is traveling, but my surrounding circumstances don't really help! The best way to improve your draws or anything you love is just to practice a lot . I push myself to read books at least four pages a day. I need to take some knitting courses. The second sentence is OK but you could also say this: Travelling is one of my favourite things to do, unfortunately my surrounding circumstances prevent me from doing so as much as I would like to. The best way to improve your drawings, (if draws is referring to drawing) or anything you love, is to practice a lot. I push myself to read books and try to read at least four pages per day. I hope this helps :)

    What are good Chinese TV programmes?

    Hello everyone,

     

    What are good Chinese TV programmes I can watch to help me with my Mandarin? When I say good I mean programmes that are not cheesey love stories. I want to watch something that is actually good so that it engages me and I am motivated to watch it. I beleive I will be able to learn more if I can find an actual interesting programme to watch. 

     

    I think people that are learning English are lucky because there are so many good American TV shows people can watch and also English ones too. However, Chinese programmes tend to be all the same; boring, corny love stories that I struggle to watch haha..

     

    大家好,

    我想要进步我的听力水平,还有学了新的箪食。当一个人学习外语的时候,他们总是看着节目。当我在中国的时候,有时候我认识一个中国人有很好的英文。我问他们,你在什么国家学习英文,有时候他们回答我没有去外国的国家,只有看美国的节目和英国的节目学习英文。我觉得美国有很多很好看的节目,英国也有。这是为什么我感觉英文学习的人很幸运。

     

    无论如何我想要做一样的东西,总是看中国的还有台湾的节目,所以我可以联系我的听力。但是,每个节目我看过,我不喜欢。这些节目太女孩子的合适。总是有爱人的故事。我不想爱人的故事,我的意见是这是假的东西。我更喜欢真的东西。 

     

    请你帮我进步我的中文,给我有意思的节目我可以看。

     

    Please help me correct my Chinese in this post, and give me some exciting and interesting programmes to watch :) Thank you!
