    Martial Arts Language Special

    It would be interesting to see if Hitomi Sensei can shed a little light into the dark-corner which is the rather antique Japanese that is used in the martial arts. In particular, a few hints and tips on how to interpret the somewhat poetic kata names would be fascinating.

    Explain particles better

    When translating sentences, instead of just calling out the particles, maybe Hitomi could explain what the different particles actually do.

    That's a bit difficult because they don't translate directly. There are some ways of explaining them, but many times you get the wrong impression of what they mean. Personally I've found I just have learned what sounds "right" and most of the time I am right.

    teach on types of various dialects

    I suggest that you teach on types of various dialects and how they are used in anime. My understanding that country or rural characters typically use a different dialect. And how can you recognize different dialects? What sets dialects apart from each other? Why is one used for a particular anime character rather than another?
