Rikuto's only a baby, but I speak to him in English. It's his only hope! No, my wife doesn’t speak English although recently she has been more serious about learning the language.

My favourite posts are when he translates comical things into Japanese (like jokes and lolcats), those are great! Yep, the template isn't very Japanese but at least it isn't stuffed full of ads.

Does she speaks English too? What about Rikuto? Do you talk to him in English and Japanese? I think it's very good if he is able to speak both language as both languages are oftenly used in international communication. Hi Nick,

There were admittedly some really laggy load times. This streamlines things while I hunt around for something more appropriate. (I've been asked where the "Japan" is in this temporary design - gotta admit - it's simply not there...) Suggestions are welcome, by the way! Hey buddy -

It's almost like a mockery of the language :???: Hopefully one day we'll have that perfect voice and inflection, though. Yeah … hearing a non-Japanese guy use a deep voice is kinda weird.

It's been fun, much like when I was "Spud Oregon" on Nice4Rice.com. Maybe I'll offer more reviews with the next round of questions. Thanks for reading! As for squeaky voices and feminine Japanese, I just find it hard to impersonate the deep voices Japanese men use and expect people to take me seriously! :shock: That’s the last of the reviews for people who took up the offer on my Questions for JapanSoc Users #1 post.
