in reponse to my conversation comment:

I don't mean LEARNING the language, I mean learning to be a Japanese girl in conversation. The average Japanese girl conversation only consists of a few phrases:

maji de.
doushite?
ehhhh?
chotto...
ii jan?
nanka
sou desu ne...


and a lot of agreeing. Now you are a good Japanese girl. go forth!

translation, it's pretty rough, but ok.

maji de, I have no idea, they say it constantly though.
why?
ehh? (in disbelief)
a little.... (this can be used for any emotion or thing)
it's good, no?
like.... (yea, like... totally like)
is that so... really... so that's how it is....

translation is rough and for some people who are really anal about the meaning of things, they would freak out. But these are basic responses.
