行かないといけない... I don't quite understand this phrase: 「行かないといけない」please explain. . お願いしますI'm understanding it as 『cannot cannot go」。So two negative makes positive so means "can go" or "must go". I'm little confused....

Is there a word for "THAT" is Japanese? そんあにかな？ For example, 1. I cannot get THAT upset. 2. The movie cannot be THAT bad, right? よろしくお願いします。

Favorite J-POP artist?

My favorite artist is BoA. Although she's originally from Korea, I feel she has the best style, is unique, has a good voice, is pretty, and has the most "mature" J-pop music I've heard.

She doesn't have the typical J-pop sound. For people who aren't into J-pop, regular J-pop music may sound kind of silly and childish (e.g. Chu-lip by ai otsuka), but BoA's music has a certain "mature" and mainstream vibe to it that I think a lot of people can relate to.

Who is your favorite J-pop artist and why?

Is there a test for Japanese I can take besides the JLPT just to see what level I am at?

What textbooks did you use to learn Japanese and/or Spanish?

Japanese drinking

飲酒は、日本社会の中で重要な役割を果たしています。飲み会は日本の人々の間の社会とビジネスの連携を強化するために使用される一般的な活動です。学生時代に、私の日本の友人の多くが金曜日と土曜日の夜に飲み会行くのが好きです。私はアメリカよりも日本で多くの丁寧な飲酒文化だと思います。例えば、日本人は他の人のために飲み物を注ぐことになります。私は日本での飲酒文化にいくつかの異なる意見を聞きたいと思います。あなたの意見では、どのようにあなたの故郷で飲んで異なる日本の飲酒文化を行います。面白い飲酒の話がありますか？ それらを聞きたいです！
