Thanks for your question. You said: > ... it can be anything: game shows, documentaries, talk shows, > drama, comedies etc... Your comment does not make sense. You must have some (unstated) goal in watching Japanese TV, and yet you say that ANY possible TV program is OK. The problem is that you have not clearly explained WHY you are interested in watching Japanese TV. Is it language, such as Keigo or Hyogen or Hyojungo or whatever? Is it entertainment? Is it some specific aspect of culture? Each of these goals calls for a completely different answer. Please be more specific and clear in what you are asking for, in consideration of the people answering these questions.

Thanks for your message. You can quickly get a translation for your message by going to the Yellow Pages, looking up a translation agency, requesting a price quote, and then paying them for the translation. This will probably be at the typical minimum rate of about $50 US. This is a forum for language learning and language exchange, not a place to simply request free translation services. Translation services are widely available elsewhere.

You can find this answer in a few seconds of WWW searching. This is naturally the Landmark Tower building in Yokohama. I've been at the top, and it has a very good view of the harbor and surrounding city. It is advertised as the tallest "habitable" building in Japan, which is to say that the upper mast of Tokyo tower is taller, but people get to visit a higher level within the Landmark Tower building.

This question does not make any sense. If you are asking for the expressions for "welcome" and "excuse me", you should ask directly for those, although these are such low level expressions that they are learned when learning low level tourist Japanese. But then, this is not an appropriate forum for asking questions which are answered in many, many other places. If you instead literally mean to say words that sound like the English expressions "welcome" and "excuse me", as you actually asked, then I am completely puzzled, since Japanese phonetics are so different from English, and it is difficult to imagine anything remotely sounding like these words. Please take time to consider your question, or the appropriateness of your question, before posting it.

After you have been studying Japanese for even a short time, you will find that the language is full of homonyms (同音異義語). つき　has 11 homonyms listed in the standard dictionary 大辞林 . You mention only two of those homonyms.

To answer this question takes only a few seconds on the WWW on the usual dictionary sources which (almost?) everyone uses. It is clear that this question was very poorly asked since "anymore" can be used in many different ways in English which naturally correspond to entirely different patterns in Japanese. The question was worded in a manner with far too little context to answer completely. Some examples would be: もはや ～ しない. (substitute your own verb) 今後はもう ～ しない. (substitute your own verb) これ以上我慢ならない. (etc.) Therefore the simplest answer is that your question is the wrong question to ask. However, a deeper answer is that even this very TYPE of question is erroneous. That is to say, questions like "how do you say ... in Japanese", themselves indicate a deep misunderstanding of how to learn Japanese. That is to say, you begin to learn Japanese by repeating and learning by heart a series of grammatical patterns. None of these correspond to anything exactly in English. A complex concept like "anymore" in English naturally corresponds to many different patterns in Japanese, but you would have learned those anyway while learning basic level Japanese, so asking someone here to translate such a vague concept into Japanese is rather silly. Translation is relatively difficult. Thinking in Japanese alone is much easier, and you would learn that anyway by normal study, so you are better off simply learning basic Japanese and not worrying about "how to you say ...".

You did not explain what you mean by "learn". (1) If "learn" means a few tourist level phrases, naturally the answer is: YES. (2) If "learn" means real adult conversation, naturally the answer is: NO. Modern college classes are designed to be the easiest and fastest way to really learn Japanese (despite claims from companies like P******r and B*****z, I've never met anyone who was able to use those companys' materials alone to learn real adult conversation). Contact the Japanese teacher at your nearest university and ask them what textbook and recordings/tapes they recommend, then pick up those materials from the college bookstore or from an online bookstore. It then takes about 1000 hours of study to learn basic level Japanese and an additional 1000 hours to learn the Kanji to be able to read a newspaper, speak like an adult, understand the broadcast news, etc. Naturally, as many people have reported, learning from Anime doesn't work very well. For one thing, much of the conversation in many Anime is sub-standard Japaneese, and people would look down on you if you spoke that way. Secondly, passive listening is almost useless to learn useful conversation as is well known from the experience of Nikkei in Hawaii, etc. were you find numerous people who grew up in with parents speaking Japanese to them, but are unable as adults to speak Japanese. Surely if years of daily passive listening in such cases is useless, then learning from passive listening to Anime is hopeless. Finally, when you get advice from a forum such as this, be sure to look at the person giving the advice. If they have not succeeded in actually learning Japanese yet, don't listen to them. The failure rate in learning Japanese is ultra high, so some people giving advice can be expected to be such people who themselves will get nowhere. I'd particularly suspect anyone who claims to be learning two or more ultra difficult languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, etc. at the same time.
