Hey Amanda, I've bought some equipments througth online shop. I prefer online purchase because of the cost and I can buy enythime I want on demand. In japan here there are more reasonable than almost items of store. in my case, i check out some items at real shop to check something(size, color, quality, etc....), and then i search and buy the same items at online shop. it is very economical to save my money. So some japanese tend to buy something at online shoping is increasing gradually. A lot of people don't have enough time to buy or choeck out stores. I don't know whether your contry's cell phone, but we also buy something throught cell phone at online. it soluted can be buy online who don't have PC.

Hi Project808, I just read your question and let me try to answer them. I don't know whether how much ur speaking skill is. So in my opinion, if u talki with someone who are older than you, you should to use honorifics that is better to prevent them getting feel bad attitude from you. And you should do while you first meet with someone as well. But you shouldn't use honorifics all time. Especially, in case of someone who are younger than you or as old as you. But the most important thing is not speaking. it's your good attitude against someone, you know. It is very common thing even though we live at each nations. so nobody getting negative impression from you while you have possitive attitude. Don' be worry. And sorry for my cheap English description.

Hi friend, I am a japanese native speaker. I try to translate your sentences. A)What's your name? あなたのお名前は何ですか？ - anata no onamae ha nan desuka? B)I miss you. 私はあなたがいなくて寂しいです。 - watashi ha anataga inakute samisii desu. In my opinion, it is not easy way to learn Kanji. Actually, even i cannot write many kanjis into my sentences. But I can read and pronnounce almost kanjis. For all i know, there are so many japanese ppl as well. if you want to learn it, i reccomend you to read a lot of books which written in japanese. and you should to learn basic kanji's which are based on difficult kanji. then it will be help you what you expect the kanji's mean. I hope my translation and opinion will be help you. Thanx

Hi friend, I like naruto too. so I'm glad you watching it and learning japanese with naruto series. So let me try to translate those sentences in japanese correctly. I never run away! This is the way of Ninja! 俺は絶対に逃げない！　それが俺の忍道だ！ (Ore ha zettai nigenai! sorega oreno nindou da!) 忍道(Nindou) which is composed two kanji. In this case, 忍 indicates "Ninja" and 道 indicates "way". That's why Naruto often use this word "忍道". I never retract to my words. 俺は絶対に言ったこと（言葉）は曲げない（撤回しない）。 Oreha zettaini ittakotoha magenai! 曲げない ( not bend). In this case, this words indicates "he never bend his will". I hope these translates will be help your learning.

Here is two persons (people) ここにふたりいます。 How many apples are here? a) りんごはここにいくつありますか？ b) りんごがいくつここにありますか。 above are both indicate from "How many apples are here?". Japanese catch both meaning same. a) is better than b because of our sensuous.

hiragana:あらわし "arawashi" seems one of a part of sentence. The word has several meaning. arawashi is changed from "arawasu" on japanese grammar. I don't know what its kanji is. 表す（あらわす）：express 現す（あらわす）：appear It may be better that you add it as one sentence.

almost native read this word to "ぶん". To read "もん" is specific words like "文言" read to "もんごん". I think you should do not mind "もん". In fact, there is almost read "ぶん" in japanese.
