I have a Japanese girlfriend and I am also TRYING to learn Japanese. But I have a MAJOR problem, any time I ask my girlfriend what someone is saying in Japanese she always gives me a rough answer, like I would ask "What did he say?" in a surprised way or something and then she would answer me saying what ever it was they said but then she would say "or SOMETHING like that".Either they said a certain thing or they didnt, right? I know Katakana and Hiragana but no Kanji, I was in Japan for 10 months and only know a few Japanese words. Whenever I asked my girlfriend about the sentence structure she told me about the way it goes and all that, but.......she also told me that a lot of things are left out because they are OBVIOUS. So if I go to have a conversation in Japanese, I wont KNOW what they are exactly talking about and means that I will have to GUESS all the time! Surely this can NOT be RIGHT!! When someone says something in Japanese the other person who is listening is BOUND to know

I live in a city where there are many people who grew up speaking both spanish and english from their childhood and are fluent in both to the point where they could consider either english or spanish their first language. Are there any people here who are bilingual like this? It doesn't matter which languages, I would just like to know, if you are bilingual, which language do you think in?

I have a Brazilian buddy and always says "Sacanage!" It sounds so cool when he says it. It sounds like this " Sah ka najah" but with a mean/hip tone. I asked him and he said it really isn't bad But is it? It sounds to me like "Darn It !" But what does it mean really?

Thanks to everyone who helped me last time. I wasn't given a letter grade, since(= _=apparently) it was only a draft. Now the final draft of my paper is due and I need some more help por favor!

I need to know how to say "there is one thing we have in common" in spanish.

The Alvista translator gave me "hay una cosa que tenemos en campo común" '_' but that doesn't look right-- I need a native speaker's opinion.

I am looking for a place in Brooklyn, NY or Manhattan where I can translate an Arabic marriage contract into English. I need this for court, so it has to be a place that will make my marriage contract a legal document...not just a translated piece of paper. This has to be a serious place. Please give me any addresses you might have of translation offices in NYC.
Thanks
