Considering the OP's location is France I'd be inclined to think that English may not be their first language.

Duo, don't be shocked by what I'm telling you.

In another thread, this OP claims to be a Japanese living in France since childhood. But she claims her first language is English.

("Don't you guys speak Japanese at home?" would be my question, seriously)

OH MY GOD HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS?! are you going to answer my question or not?!

Ayako, no Japanese grammar and English grammar are very different, so you cannot plug in vocab words and expect it to make sense.

Kimitarusan 06-07-2009 03:02 AM

ok then, thank you for answeing me, but what is diffrent about it, what do i have to change for it tto make sence..?

There are lots of ways to say that sentence, but I would say:

この曲を聞くと、私たちは下にいく。

Sorry, did you tried the indicative sites about japanese learning?
After to understand hiragana and katakana, you can begin a study about basic verbs and japanese phrases chaining.

Sorry if I did an unnecessary intromission here.

Kimitarusan, surely you've studied a second language if you're in France and are speaking English now. Surely you know that you can't just look up English words in an English-OtherLanguage dictionary, put them in that order, and expect it to make any sense at all!

Pick up a grammar guide. What you've effectively asked us to do in your first post is to teach you years' worth of Japanese grammar.

Here's a starter: Main verb goes very last in a sentence. Don't worry about the order of anything else, but make sure you get the particles right. It's a dramatic oversimplification, but it's something to get you started. Now go to Tae Kim's Japanese Guide and read.

If you can't be arsed to look up what a particle is, then no one here should feel guilty not helping you.
