The graceful charm of hiragana,
The classical elegance of kanji,
The subtle simplicity of katakana...

Japanese, whether printed or written, never fails to make me happy ^_^

("When the bee stings, when the dog bites, when I'm feeling sad... I simply think of the Japanese scripts, and then I don't feel so bad!")

People say this sentence is correct: Is there anybody waiting for me?
But people say this sentence is incorrect: Is there anybody speaking English?

Aren't they the same pattern ?

It's told that Buddhism came to Sri Lanka from Orissa, India. And many believe that Sihalese is similar to Oriya. Can anyone give some relevant examples of words or phrases that are similar.

i learn English with the tape.

I found that English speakers say the word "heard" like saying "read".
the text is "I heard", but the recorder says "I read"
the text is "I've heard", but the recorders says "I've read".

why?
