Exactly my point. Without some basic grammar knowledge, one would have no idea of what to do with this form.

Hehe, I'd hope so—masaegu is Japanese!

Ohh no no, I only wanted to express that I have understood the explained usage of this form It was by no means any valuation. I´m really sorry, if my previous post conveyed a wrong impression. I´m always grateful for learning more about this fascinating language.

Look at my last name

Haha, war ja nur Spaß! Ich spreche kein Deutsch. I'm just a German-American who wishes he did.

I know German in the same way a native Spanish speaker might know French. Namely, very little, and mostly due to literary exposure and similarity of language.

Ah well, I know it´s the wrong thread for this, but I have a really urgent question: Do you know any good language school especially in Osaka? I´m planning a month-long stay in Japan for studying the language. I found lots of schools in Tokyo, Fukuoka etc. ... but no informations about the existence of such a school in Osaka.
