Troubles in Reading Kanji Hello. I started trying to read Kanji today. So, from what I learnt, Kun-reading is used for standalone kanji, compound words(Jukugo) with okurigana, and Kanji words with hiragana added to them. And On-yomi reading for Jukugo made up of only Kanji. So, by that logic, the word mouichido もう一度 should be read in Kun-reading yes? So it should be mohitodo, so why is it read in On-yomi? Is Mou a particle in this word? Also, in case of hiragana added jukugo, like 二日酔い for example, there is a Hiragana added. How do I understand which hiragana of a sentence is a word and which is an article, since there are no space between words in Japanese? If there is a particle immediately after a hiragana added Jukugo, how do I differentiate?

Lost in Translation- Unintended Translation Faux Pas.

So. While learning languages, we can have some fun, right?

I am going to share something insanely funny i came across.  I am learning Japanese, I was watching this  anime when I came across some very very hilarious translation error.

This character said this line: "People die if they are killed"

 Then that same guy said this in some other episode: "You may be correct, but that doesn't mean you are right"


Pretty rip-roaring, eh?

have you come across some funny translation error like this?

How do I refer to myself and other people? 私を助けて

Hello.
How do I refer to myself to other people in these situations?
1. to male friends of same age.
2. to female friends of same age.
3. to senpais. both male and female.
 4. to teachers and other formal relations.

I mean do I use Watashi 私  or Boku 僕 or Ore 俺? 
Or is there any other alternative?

I think I used 'ore' to send a few messages here.But later i came to know it is very rough? someone can clarify?

Also how do I refer to other people?

Is it anata? あなた? (I have heard couples and married couples use anata, so I am not sure?)
Or is it kimi? ( isn't this too rough?)
Is there any other alternative?

Hello! doumo! boku wa koko!

Yo.
I have been in love with Japanese culture for as long as I can remember. Someday I want to settle in Japan. I am a 20year old English Lit. University student from India who wants to learn Japanese language and culture. I aim to be a polyglot someday.
If you have time, want to talk about stuff and help me learn Japanese in exchange of English, please feel free to talk to me.
Your age, gender or species(lol) doesn't matter, if you wanna talk, go ahead!
Oshiede kudasai! (Is that how it's said? Sorry I cant speak little Japanese and my kata-hira-kanji is horrible)
Cheers.
