Dekimasu できます - Let’s Learn Japanese

When I was a kid, after school
I'd go straight to the TV
Watch Sailor Moon battle it out
And I grew up learning just how to say "thank you" and "sorry"
There's nothing to worry about

And all of the ends of my books
Had that same type of wide-eyed girl
Drawn in anime style
Don't really know how I ended up so fascinated with this
It must've taken awhile

And now I wanna learn the language
Is it too late for me to try this

Try not to worry
I'm taking it day by day with themed vocabulary
New things are scary
But if I just lose my way
I consult my dictionary

There's so many people in the world
And I wanna understand what makes us human
So I'm learning a nеw language
With the help that I can managе
できるかな？もっとべんきょうしよう
がんばります！

If I am allowed to go further
Conjugaton is murder in any other language
Most of the time I just blurt out...
The first thing I think of and then asess the damage
I have to know if I'm talking politely or casually
Both are very different

It's just that the order of sentences
Is flipped 180°
No subject-verb agreement
Still really wanna know Japanese, please?

Try not to worry
I'm taking it day by day with themed vocabulary
New things are scary
But if I just lose my way
I consult my dictionary

There's so many people in the world
And I wanna understand what makes us human
So I'm learning a new language
With the help that I can manage
できるかな？もっとべんきょうしよう
がんばります！

Now, let's go to かんじ
ちょっとむずかしい
But it's absolutely necessary

しょうがない
ひらがな, カタカナ, you can learn them easy
Memorize some good expressions that are customary
しつれいします - excuse me
おひさしぶり - long time, no see
じゃまた / またね - see you again

Things you can say when you're meeting a friend
しんぱいしないよ！まいにちゆっくりたんごをまなんでいる
あたらしいことはこわい
But if I just lose my way, I consult my dictionary
