How to understand "JP ONRY" in Japanese...

Post by Sugami »

So I'm learning Japanese at the moment, I downloaded a series of Japanese audio lessons called Pimsleur Japanese I-III.

I was listening to Pimsleur I - 9 and the whole lesson is basically learning how to get rejected in Japanese ... :shock:

Starts off with the basic "Do you want to get a drink?" kinda thing and all replies back are "No I don't want to drink then." and "I don't want to drink with you."

Being a persistant amerika-jin (that's American :P) you ask "Ah but you want to eat with me, right?" then go onto ask "When would you like to eat? 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock. She replies "Not 1 o'clock, not 2 o'clock." and I'm thinking "Well that's good I didn't ask those times..." then the commentry says "And she adds for measure:" "Not 8 o'clock, not 9 o'clock."
Being somewhat confused and slightly ignorant of the language you ask again "When would you like to eat?"
To which she replies, "you don't understand."
"What don't I understand?"
"You don't understand Japanese."

And that's how the lesson ends. Big fat "JP ONRY!" in yer face :lol: It's like the makers of these lessons anticipated me playing FFXI and added it into the lesson :lol:

Before I get sensored for being racist or something this is the honest to God truth, if someone has somewhere where I can host the mp3 you can listen for yourself. I just found it funny, that's all :P

Reminds me of those silly "learn to speak spanish" tapes. Couldn't find an example, but I did find and Ebonics language lesson. :P
