Doesnt the actual question mean something like; have you ever been to japan?

I havent gone to Japan, but hope to i guess. And damn those people who go to japan with their schools. OHS hasnt organised a trip to japan in a long time, to my knowledge anyway.

It is better to say you havent been to Japan because you can then use structures like tsumori, tai, sou, to omou etc.

Its actually meaning is have you ever been to Japan, as the tacotogaaru form suggests you have done something in the past

Okay, you all were right, the question is: "Have you ever gone to Japan?"

First off, this question can be moulded to suit you. if you're a confident speaker about your job, lie, and say you went with work. You could also say you went with your family, if you're strong there.

I've recentlycompleted my Jap HSC Speaking, andI got this question. I rattled on for ages before she actually stopped me, because their is literally SO much to talk about. You might have went o see festivals? Temples? Anything! Make crap up, see how you go.

FYI: I said that I went with my family. This is becase I like the temples and festivals. I also went to see a variation in culture and schooling life. It was an enjoyable experience, and I would like to do it again in the future.

If you want this in japanese, PM me.

i went at the beginning of year 11 with school to osaka and stayed with a family for about a week, and the rest of the trip we stayed in a 旅館。It's the most valuable experience you can get if you're studying Japanese so if you get the chance, GO!

In HSC Japanese continuers speaking, the idea is to NOT blab on and on when they ask you a question because they would eventually cut you after you've said about 3-4 sentences. This does not sound very good to the marker when they listen back to your tape. So it is ideal to give a descriptive and well structured answer rather than excessively long answers even though you may have a lot to say. As long as you have answered the question with the appropriate structures you've learnt, it is fine.

For those who have just finished the hsc, i highly recommend UNSW if you're planning to continue your japanese studies!

Really why? I might continue on with my Japanese, if I get into the course that is :)

I went to japan way back in 2004, i think it was, it was really good, was with school(my yr 10 japanese class and teachers), so there wasn't alot of freedom, but it was still good, we stayed in Kanuma.
My host family were really nice, luckily for me they had lived in the UK for a couple of years and knew a bit of english. I would go back there if i had the chance.
