I'm with you on the few words. I think Danny was trying to explain what he does and the items he has acquired while doing it.... Or an omelet recipe.

reply to Streetpilot1's comment

same here. He is talking about YouTube, figures, powerbook and firefox xD

ok, I picked up a few Japanese words too but not enough to catch what is all about.

Was watching the video when it suddenly occurred to me - so far nearly all the videos I've seen of you have you speaking in English, and just a few phrases of Japanese at most. This made watching quite a different experience.

Also noted that you got noticeably more comfortable as the video went on. ^^; It really is weird isn't it - sitting there talking to camera.

I tend to do that as well whenever I speak. I know and don't want to do it but I can't help it when I concentrate on what I say rather than how I say it >.<

I think some people are just like that. People see it as being uncertain of what to say (not knowing the subject well enough) but I do it even when I know the subject well enough. This always reduce my grade at oral exams D:

Danny should add subtitles or somebody will fansub this video and then Danny ends up being the Thunderstormtropper of Africa or something.

reply to The Bard's comment

I'm certainly looking forward to the Hanakuso Trooper movie. Er. Salaryman Trooper Movie, I mean. Of course.

(Sorry. The 'that's snot' line made me laugh.)

And indeed, the 'eeto desu ne' density in this video is very high. I didn't get to talk to you in person yet (and it's unlikely I ever will, at least not anytime soon), so I'm kinda wondering if that's just camera nervousness (something I suffer from as well), or if you always talk like that. D:

As for the poll, it almost scares me how much I understood. I took Japanese lessons for close to two years, then had to stop, that was like four years ago, and I'm totally out of it, can't read it worth crap, can't write it worth crap, either.

But it seems like watching boatloads of fansubbed anime helps a lot with vocabulary and grammar sense. I'm positive I understood close to 80% of all that. Curious.

By the way, how many time you said e--to?

reply to chuy's comment

Nice job with the video. Very clear although I see you haven't managed to get rid of the "ettos" yet. The conference presentations must have really helped. Like the "wake up call" half way through! And I'm pretty sure I can hear music in the background...

Well, good luck with the awards! Will be interesting to see what you do with the trooper suit next year. I think you will be very uncomfortable sleeping in it though - especially with the helmet on =P

 Well, out of 10 I know 0.2(that seems to me a bit too much actually. Maybe it should be 0.1) Japanese but I did understand a little bit here and there. Say, that "Ettooo..." Means "Hmmm... ; Ummm...", right? In my region it's: "Ahmyyy..." and stuff I'm sure all(or most of you at least) use - "Mmmmm...." "Aaaa..." "Hmmmm..." "UUuuu" and such! XD

I think I've still got lots to learn even after taking LV2 of the JLPT, so I ticked the 50% category. Still, I lol'ed at the suggestion that Danny left running nose stains on that helmut.

I've also been noticing Danny always seem to have a flash of CATS from "All Your Base"/Zero Fighter fame inserted for a split second in all his videos. Is it some sort of signature to make sure the video's made by Danny?

I was quite surprised when I discovered that it's not the same for all languages because I thought it was just a human habit of going "errr". Looks like there is a cultural influence as well.

'Eetou' is simply a filler when people are thinking of what to say next. For some reason Japanese people say it ALL the time, as in near constantly. It seems Danny has picked up the same habit.
