Hi Peter. I wish Brad had been around ages ago...for years after I ran a across the term kesa-giri I was amazed that the feudal Japanese were so morally structured that even their garments had a sense of obligation. Turns out they simply enjoyed cutting people in half.

.....Who told you about this?One possibility is to tell brad 12 that it is absolutely essential that he learns ancient Sumerian and cuneiform script before attempting to tell us how to learn Japanese. The advantage is that if he did learn Sumerian, he would be in a better position to understand the really ancient Japanese system that predated kanji and kana, by about 80,000 years, according to one source. This is all in the Takeuchi documents. Have you heard of these?
There's been a leak somewhere dammit! It was Wayne wasn't it? Arggghhh...We're doomed!
Seriously though...If you look closely..In the Takeuchi Ryu Kogusoku kata "Sumashi Miru", the positions of the feet correspond to the sentence "God is great" in ancient Sumerian...It's stunningly well hidden though..And you need slow motion cameras to film from above the enbu floor to catch it all in it's full glory..But I didn't just tell you that...

Hello,
Since the websites you recommend all appear to be controlled and run by yourself, you cannot be taken as an impartial judge of their quality.
In fact, I would ban you on the grounds of commercial advertising, were it not for the fact that the courses you advertise are free. However, to avoid the very reasonable accusations of bias, which our members might make, how about walking the talk and showing us some real evidence of the practical efficacy of your courses.
To avoid the guillotine, how about using the target language and explaining in Japanese why your courses are better than the others.
Best wishes,

Hi Mr. Goldbury,
What's that in kanji? Do the two(keri, geri) have the same or different kanji? I'm glad you translated. I'm not very used to romaji and can't often read it and know what their meanings are without their kanji/hiragana equivalent for recognition of the word's meaning. I know that sounds silly, but I've never even seen most Japanese words that I've learned, written in romaji. Romaji looks like a foreign language to me, lol. I can't read it 90 percent of the time. Kanji makes meanings so much more colorful I am noticing, the more kanji I learn. It's fascinating!
Thank you.

I'm not Peter, but if I can put in my 2 Yen's worth.
Unless I'm mistaken:
The kanji would be the same if both were refering to kicking, but would be different if refering to kicking and diarrhea, because kanji are ideographic.
The kana would be different in either case, because the kana are phonetic.
Kick is 蹴り
Diarrhrea is 下痢
Keri is けり
and geri is げり
[Edit: Well, he beat me to it while I was typing. I've got to learn to type faster.]
