What phrases or words did you learn first?

I learned "Hello, how are you?" "I'm fine, thank you. And you?" "I'm fine too, thank you".

After that, "This is a pen. that is my house",,etc when I was a junior high school student.

I think all Japanese people learned these phrases in their school.


I've remembered that it was difficult for me to understand the past perfect tense.


"I've lived here for three years"

It means 私はここで３年間生活しています。

I didn't know the difference between "I live here for,,," and "I've lived here for,,,,".

(Maybe I don't still understand it well)

The first Japanese words I learned were かわいい, 大丈夫 and ありがとう. I was watching a lot of anime and heard these words often, eventually figuring out the meaning. After I started studying Japanese properly, I learnt the basic expressions, such as 'my name is...'

Oh, I think that is very good way of studying.
I'm surprised that many people know the word かわいい, even though they haven't studied Japanese.

Thank you for your comment.

No problem :) かわいい is a very common word in Japanese, I think, and it seems to be used virtually everywhere.

I think it has different meaning to cute but .S'pose it depends on the person .

I live here ここにすんでいる （今）

I was living here　ここにすんでいた　（昔の一時期、when I was a child）

I have been living here　今までここにすんでいる　（昔から今現在まで）

I have lived here　（ここにすんだことがある）（すんだ経験がある、今はすんでいても、すんでなくても使える）

I lived here　ここにすんでいた　（昔、この場合は＿＿years ago, before などをつける）

I had lived here ここにすんでいた　（むかしの経験、いまはもうすんでない、before I moved to tokyo, など、昔におこった事の前にすんでいた事をあらわす

日本語ではそれほど明確に表さないので日本人には難しいですよね。　でもこれが使えるようになると、会話の時制がはっきりしてくるとおもいます。

おお、凄くわかりやすいです。本当にありがとうございます。
確か、I've lived here when I was,,,という表現は不適切なんですよね？
I lived here when I was,, が正しいとか。

I have lived here というと経験や　昔から今の現在までのつづいた状況です。（ここにすんだ事がある）

こどものころここにすんでた　とういう　むかしの一点をあらわすには

I lived here when I was 5 years old.

I was living here when I was 5 years old とも言えます。この場合は、ほとんどおなじです。

むずかしいですよね！

I wish Japanese had been part of my compulsory education. Unless we get lucky, our high schools don't even offer Japanese. ;/

The first Japanese I learned was どうもありがとう from the song "Mr. Roboto" http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=Gbkhla8Ivlk just after the 3 minute mark. Then of course すごい, かわいい, and ばか from anime.

The first things I learned in Japanese were　”こんにちは”and ”ありがとう". The only languages offered in my high school are Spanish and German. I took two years of Spanish, but I've decided to focus on Japanese. Of course, I've learned how to say "this is a pen" in Japanese. LOL. I've learned a lot of Japanese from watching anime.

It seems that the anime & J-drama really taught us a lot of Japanese word.

I guess my first impression of the Japanese language from the movies was that it contains lots of nee and no?

I guess my first words were sayonara and arigato.
