I'm a 26 year old Mathematics PhD student, born and raised in England. I'm extremely interested in Japanese music, language, and culture. I'm looking for someone who will be able to help me learn Japanese, and in exchange I would love to help you learn English.

    As the others have said, 必要 would be the noun or な-adjective form. However the verb "to need" is 要る (いる), which you'll often hear in negative form 要らない/要りません. Hope this helps!

    Learning Japanese

    こんにちは、みんなさん!
    テリ-です。
    どうぞよろしく
    日本語をまなびたいです。

    (The です isn't necessarily needed after ーたい in casual speech, but in formal speech you should include it)
    どうもありがとう

    I think the best way would be to use とっても (tottemo) instead of たいへん, here. i.e. きょうわたしはすしをたべました。とってもおいしかったです。

    "Yomimasu" means something that you plan on doing later, "yondeimasu" means that you're doing it right now. i.e. Watashi wa hon wo yondeimasu = I'm reading a book (right now). Gohan wo tabetara hon wo yomimasu = After I eat dinner, I'll read a book.

    I agree with Mario, do whatever you feel most comfortable with. If you find it meaningless to learn the on/kun readings, then this means that you won't learn it as effectively as if you were doing something that you actually find useful and interesting. As for me, I've never really cared about learning the on/kun readings, I've just focused on increasing my vocabulary, and as my vocabulary increases, I learn more readings for the kanji. がんばって!
