1106439 2010-06-03 13:58:00 You can't mix the two words together in japanese. There needs to be an extra word to link the two words. lol Ninjabear (2948)

I wouldn't say I'm proficient... :horrified

I can pronounce the katakana (first three characters), but not the rest. (The teacher in Year 11 was useless.)
