impressed with emily's japanese? ever been to her japanese blog and think it's cool she's so fluent to keep posting in a foreign language? well, let's see how it comes out in regular english if we translate it. I'll use her 11/13 entry as an example.


"good morning, everyone!

today, is a happy-sad feeling!
happy is, having uploaded a new video!
sad is, catching a cold! oh no!

from next month I'm in a japanese (computer) magazine!
therefore, I've practiced cute poses for the magazine!
what to do? such poses... (sweatdrop)"

[insert: the two most weeaboo photos you'll ever encounter]

I want to cut my hair! I guess I'll do it next week? lol
so, please comment for me!

xxoo
emily"


it's safe to say no real human being talks like this, much less consistently posts narcissistic blog entries about themselves in such words and kindergarten sentence structure. I didn't pick out this entry, they're all this way and only yesterday I noticed. if you weeaboo applefags could actually read japanese, that's how it would read and personally I think this puts it into perspective, thus exposing how community college 101 her skills are. if anyone you didn't know wrote entries like that you'd think they were slightly retarded and trying too hard. just saying..

you make it sound too negative becaues in japanese it sounds fine, you know like conversational -colloquial. it doesn't have to be complex. just the main point her japanese is NOT FLUENT nor could you call it good.

next time you post about how my translation is off or biased in some way, i'd appreciate you pointing out exactly what is "too negative" or inaccurate. it's a bit too easy to say i'm off, her japanese is "fine" and leave it at that.

oh nvm, what caroline wrote totally summs it up.
it's just not fluent.
