English To Japanese Translation

[tm_r33]

ok guys my knowledge of japanese language is very limited.

i do remember some basic stuff from learning it back at high school but not much.

i want some words and small sentences converted into japanese.

like if i say "my name is james"

if i remember correctly that is spoken as "boku wa james desu"

but i also want what im saying converted into the symbol form.

i know theres a few like hiragana and katakana ect.

let me know if u can help and i will pm u with the few words/ small sentences that i want translated into 'spoken japanese' and into 'symbol form'

lol hope this makes sense.. please help

Formal version: "watashi wa James desu" ?

I think "Boku" is the informal way to say it.

Google is you friend,for basic translations and small sentences use that.I did a 4 week crash coarse before i went to Japan.It helped alot,though i wish i learnt more.

First one i found,but there are plenty more that go more indepth.

let me know what u want to say

watashi isnt the formal way(possibly more polite though) boku is just a bit more boyish
