			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since most of you&#8217;nz are living in an area that is as linguistically diverse as, well, where I am I&#8217;m going to make you (probably not) learn the language. 2 times a week you will learn a new word and I&#8217;ll give examples of how this word is used in a sentence in Japanese (with a translation of course). If we say you&#8217;ll need a vocabulary of about 4000 words and you&#8217;ll be learning a new word every 3.5 days then you should be ready to go in a little less than 38 million days; that&#8217;s not too bad.</p>
<p>The format will look like this [Word in japanese with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji">Kanji</a>] ([Word in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana">Hiragana</a>], [Word in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaji">Roman</a> characters], [Meanings of the word]) followed by example sentences. You&#8217;ll get used to it, or not. Onto our first word.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s word is 訳す（やくす, yakusu, to translate, to interpret)</p>
<p>Example 1:<br />
日本人科学者が犬の思考を言語に訳す方法を発見した。そして今わたしは、自分の犬がヒトラーの生まれ変わりであることを知った。</p>
<p>にほんじんかがくしゃがいぬのしこうをことばにやくすほうほうをはっけんした。そしていまわたしは、じぶんのいぬがヒトラーのうまれかわりであることをしった。</p>
<p>Japanese scientists discovered how to translate a dog&#8217;s thoughts into words and now I know my dog is the reincarnation of Hitler.</p>
<p>Example 2:<br />
今日僕は、伯父がその詩をタイ語に訳すかどうか見に行った。そうすればその詩を僕の好きな中学生の女の子にあげることができるから。けれども伯父は、彼が人間サイズのピカチュウを抱き締めるのを僕が見ると、断ってしまった。</p>
<p>きょうぼくは、おじがそのうたをたいごにやくすかどうかみにいった。そうすればそのうたをぼくのすきなちゅうがくせいのおんあのこにあげることができるから。けれどもおじはかれがにんげんサイズのピカチュウをだきしめるのをぼくがみると、ことわってしまった。</p>
<p>Today I went to go see my uncle to see if he would translate a poem into Thai so that I could give it to a girl in middle school that I like, but he refused to help after I saw him snuggle with his man sized Pikachu.</p>
<p>Example 3:<br />
肉語に訳さないと死ぬ、ベジテリアンめ。</p>
<p>にくごにやくさないとしぬ、ベジテリアンめ。</p>
<p>Translate this into meat speak or die, vegetarian.</p>
<p>Use it a few times throughout the week and you should be good to go!</p>
