<~>It always gets a reaction from my sensei. No matter how many times she corrects me though, I speak masculine. I memorized it first so I would know what not to say...ended up being counterproductive.<~>

<~>Ore is the superior male version. Boku is also male, but I think higher class women may be able to use it. A lot of my favorite Jpop artists say boku so I dunno.<~>

((J-pop artists aren't always best choice to draw speech patterns from. They tend to be weird.))

<~>Exactly. I tend to try watching drama to understand sex based speech patterns. Since our university rarely receives exchange students, all I really have is my sensei, and her fluency sometimes still gets the better of me.<~>

<~>No no no. Right now I'm watching one called 14Sai no haha - 14 year old mother. It's very touching and the main actress is adorable, though I do learn a few things, perhaps if I was more aware of pregnancy terms in Japanese it would flow better. Baby steps though.<~>

(( Interesting. I can't understand enough Japanese enough to watch anything without subtitles.))

<~>Don't worry. At best I can only catch a few sentences without needing subtitles every five minutes and they usually aren't the hardest to translate.
I suddenly hope someone comes in to RP.<~>
