Konnichi ha I was quite sure that should've been "wa"... am I that wrong? :-)	[reply]

Konnichi ha means "Good day" whereas Konnichi wa means "Good Afternoon", so on a forum like this where people could see the message at anytime of the day the former would be more appropiate. Update: also the last character in Konnichi "wa" (こんにちは) is は which is actually the hiragana character for ha. :) "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum - I think that I think, therefore I think that I am."

And "kutsu" means shoe(s). . . Merlyn, even without the interpreters: Japanese are generally taught English writing in school, not pronunciation. You can likely get a written point across even though the spoken word will give them trouble.	[reply]

We're planning to have an interpreter for every popular session (for 200 people), and even on the 2nd day we'll have English only hours on a smaller room (80+ people).	[reply]
