Learn how the Japanese language is structured and in what context certain words or letters have meaning, then you can begin to translate.
As far as I know, there are at least 70 dialects of Japanese.

For instance.
I'm going to the shop
*Transliterated*
Shop to Im going.
Its been about 6 years since iv bothered learning Japanese, its quite hard and my understanding may have decayed but how its structured is the hard part, they don't use the word 'the' if I remember right.
the letter 'e' can mean 3 different things depending on context and the way you say it if I remember correctly.

And it can't simply be translated due to the structure, its almost like trying to solve a riddle when you first start learning.

For example, a Sentence: good morning.
in English we read it as: goo, d, mor, ning.
and Hypothesis this is not English but Japanese, then you may read it as:
g,o,o,d,m,o,r,n,i,n,g.
the real good morning in Japanese: püèpü»péêpüåpüöpüûpüäpü+püÖpÇé
read as: püè,pü»,péê,püå,püö,püû,püä,pü+,püÖ.
just read every letter in line.
simple? lol
Mind blown, I get what you are saying but the symbols are as familiar as Klingon mate

Ka at the end of anything turns the sentence into a question if I remember correctly?

Maybe if it's used in a puzzled or pondering context, like when you draw out a word while pondering? I have no idea though but I have 4 'learn to speak' nihongo books and they all say that its a common mistake to include the u in pronunciation.
Maybe its included in common speak?
Can someone from nyain San clarify? Japanese is harder than most languages along with Arabic for English speakers just in case you was wondering wtf? Lol.

So they pronounce the U kinda like how kids probably would. I think normally they wouldnt But then again i don't know lol
Aha makes sense.

Yeah but anime is not valid lol, have you ever heard a REAL Japanese person say desU? I'd have to say you'd be lying if you did, iv not and these books were not cheap, almost -ú300 altogether.

I'll eat my hat if it is pronounced desU in very rare occasions though, I really do wish I'd carried on learning it as im looking at my notes now thinking 'fk, I understood it that much, why did I stop"
I'll definitely get back on it soonGäó

I have a tattoo on my left arm on my bicep of a ying yang that looks like a dragons eye, Chinese I know but I see people stating they have tattoos so I thought I'd share that.
Its coloured as well so it was a bit of a kunt and the tattoo artist would have regretted relieving his weight on it even slightly, you know how your arm feels like its going to bang them instinctively when its getting done lol.
I plan to get more, it feels lovely when the needle scrapes over a nerve now and then.
