Q. I am Japanese. I will go fishing to Florida next February . I will fish bass in some lakes with fishing guides. I will present some Japanese lures for them. I think it's a good idea. But I have no ideas what to present. So I want to ask you what kind of Japanese lures are noticed in America? What pleases them ?

A. Lucky Craft is a good one that almost everyone that makes a living fishing in the United States uses. ima is another one that has just become available in the USA. Megabass, Daiwa, Evergreen, Shimano, Imakatsu, any lure from any of those companies that you can get in Japan will be hard if not difficult to get in the United States. I know Lucky Craft has some colors that are not shipped to the USA. A crank bait or top water bait from anyone of those companies I would love to own, or should I say own more of them, so am sure your guide would appreciate them as well. Hope this helps you, and have a wonderful fishing trip.

How far can you get with Japanese alone?
Q. I want to learn Japanese. I've used a few websites and have learnt Hirigana, Katakana and some words but that doesn't mean i know any Japanese. I was wondering how to take my Japanese to a higher level. The university i'm going to doesn't teach Japanese and private lessons are more then i can afford. Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to improve my "spoken Japanese" in the most cost effective way.

A. Not very far. The writing systems are easy to learn and you don't need a teacher for them because even with classes it's still up to you to learn them. But the vocabulary, grammar, syntax, idiomatic expressions, slang, formality, and the cultural phrases all need a teacher to explain to you. Japanese has a lot of words that translate to the same meaning in English and no dictionary gives a very good explanation of the difference between them all. There are plenty of things that may tell you what you should be trying to do in terms of grammar and syntax, but none of them can tell you if what you're trying to do is correct or not. And it's not just about being correct, there's also the matter of sounding natural. You need a teacher there… [cont.]

What is the best method to learn japanese?
Q. I can speak about 5 percent of the langauge. I really do not want to learn to write in Japanese cause that will take forever and I don't have much time. I am going to a japanese college and I need to learn this thing in 3 years. I am learning to write in korean and it is much easier than Japanese kanji but do you think they would accept a foreigner who knows how to write in korean, but not japanese?
Asked by Coolie Girl - Thu Apr 23 18:58:18 2009 - - 9 Answers - 2 Comments
A. I fail to see how you can attend college in any country without speaking AND writing the dominant language. You're going to have to write papers, and unless you take nothing but Korean courses you're going to have to learn how to write in Japanese. Not to mention that Korean uses kanji too (though obviously the name is different). I mean, think about it, would a school where the dominant language was English accept a foreigner who could speak English but only write in Spanish? I don't think so. You need to learn to write Japanese. If you have access to formal classes and tutoring, I suggest you start taking advantage of those ASAP, and set aside a lot of time in your day to practice speaking, reading, and writing Japanese.

What japanese maple holds its best color in the summer without burning or fading?

Asked by John W - Thu Oct 19 18:09:30 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Make sure you purchase a grafted tree - NOT a seedling. I like 'Bloodgood' as it has a very dark red foliage that retains its color even in summer heat. I will add that some trees are more red than others, even grafted trees. Try to purchase one in the summer that has been exposed to direct sunlight. You will get a chance to see how red the tree is. You can purchase it and plant it in the fall when the conditions are right for planting.

How did the Japanese manage to inflict heavier casualties on the Americans in Iwo Gima?
Q. Since Iwo Gima is famous for being the only defensive battle in which the americans suffered heavier casualties than the Japanese(Americans suffered less dead but dead and disabled combined are 7000 more than Japanese casualties). With complete american control of the air and sea, overwhelming american numerical superiority, more advanced american weapons, suicidal Japanese banzai charges, and Japanese grenade suicides, how did the Japanese inflict such heavier losses on the Americans?

A. I have been lucky enough to visit Iwo Jima and by doing this you then understand why things went as they did. The Japs were hiding in caves and deep into the mountain. No amount of Naval gun fire would ever kill them. All they did was sit there and wait. Eventually you had to have the ground troops move in. When this happend you then had the Japs pop out and start to mow them down. The areas where the Marines and Sailors landed was flat open beach. The Japs could not miss. As many Marines moved onshore at once, not all of them could be killed, so some made it to safety and then regrouped and went ahead and took care of business.

I have upped the amount of water it gets each day as well as spraying it down after the sun drops in the evening.

This tree is way to expensive and beautiful to lose but I don't have anywhere else to put it due to its size (It is really large for a Japanese Maple). Thanks for your thoughts.

Q. I have an awesome Japanese Maple that seems to be really getting hit harder this year by the sun then it has in the past. I have upped the amount of water it gets each day as well as spraying it down after the sun drops in the evening. No matter what I do the leaves at the outside and the top just keep drying out and falling off. This tree is way to expensive and beautiful to lose but I don't have anywhere else to put it due to its size (It is really large for a Japanese Maple). Thanks for your thoughts.

A. Is it in the ground or a container? If it is in a container put it in a spot that is more protected from the hottest sun. Mulch it well with bark or weed whomping mulch. Make sure it has decent drainage. There are a lot of olderJapanese Maples trees that are not getting much care now and have sent down roots that are deep enough to sustain them. They are like kids, the first couple of years they need extra care and attention. I is not very happy with the spot it is in whether it is the soil as well as the hot sun.One thing I notice about a lot of the japanese maples is that they seem to get a certain amount of dieback after winter.

How do I get my laptop to read Japanese?
Q. I use Vista. It can already read Japanese in Internet browsers and I have set it up so that I may type Japanese, but when I tried installing a Japanese game, it just shows nonsensical symbols. How can I fix this?

A. Go into your control panel, and find your regional/language options. There should be a setting in there (perhaps under "advanced") that is Language for non-unicode programs. Change it to Japanese, restart your computer, and your game should work.

What are those thick round japanese noodles used for yakiudon?
Q. I recently went to a japanese resteraunt and had a delicious dish called yakiudon. In it, they used a noolde that I've seen in certain other japanese dishes, but I've never been able to discover the name of the noodle. They are very thick and almost tubular. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I'd love to buy them if I can find the name. Thanks so much!
