If you can wait an hour or two, I got to go take a final exam for one of my classes at my university.
I'll be back after to answer.

Thats a reasonable explanation, I suppose I kind of knew that, but was just wondering in case I was wrong.
As for Japanese, I will just have to find out for myself how hard it is, won't I?

Oh, hi, darling.
>"you know how Americans are depicted in anime."?
And you are the representative of those who watch anime?
Darn it! You are a total moron. Don't make me laugh.
Tell me what stereotype we have?

Yeah. Try it and see how it turns out to be.
If you really want to learn language, don't give up just because a particular text/dictionary/method didn't work for you.
Another way of learning may be good for you. Take it easy and keep learing.
You won't fail as long as you keep studying.

Don't worry one bit.
Spoken Japanese is quite easy to understand if you put your mind to it - learning
basic Japanese grammar does the trick. In fact, there are many American people posting
Japanese vlogs on youtube and many of them are quite fluent.
Meanwhile, I think it's tough to read Japanese due to kanji and vocablary - words that are
used in writing tend to be more difficult than those in conversation.

>The key point I want to ask you is the usages of
>"American", "America's", and "of America" .
>Thanks in advance.
*'s shows ownership. for example:
"bob's dog" means that bob owns the dog.
But this is for an entity.
for "she's" this simply means "she is"
>She's America's representative
She is America's representative.
American means person of America
>She's an American representative.
She is a representative of America.

To answer this question I must say that
>1) She's a representative of America.
and
>3) She's America's representative.
Are basically identical, and using them is down to your preference.
In my case I'd say "She's America's representative" because it is shorter, but either is fine.
As for number 2,
>2) She's an American representative.
This is actually different. When saying She's an American representative it could either be taken as:
A) - She is a representative of America
or
B) - She is a representative that is FROM America.
Case B) is actually the correct meaning of number 2), as saying "She's an American representative"
doesn't actually mean that she is a representative of America, but that she was born in America, and that she happens to be a representative from an unnamed country.
If you were in America, we would understand what you mean from the surrounding context, but B) is actually the correct usage.
So to summarize
1) and 3) are identical, talking about the person representing America
And 2) is actually saying that she is a representative that is American, and may not actually be representing America.
Hope that clears things up.

I don't doubt that. My goal is to one day learn the spoken language, as it does not seem difficult.
It would be nice if I were able to read it too, but that seems much more difficult and I will save that for later.

I'm glad you think so... because I'm not very good at explaining things and I thought that I had made it confusing - I think I confused myself in the process.
Regardless, it is correct. So, I guess thats all.

Not exactly. The second one carries the additional connotation that she's America's *only* representative in the situation.
The first one could mean that, but it also allows for other representatives to be.
Changing the "a" to "the" in the first one would make them more equivalent.

NSG=Nihon Souka Gakkai
NSG is the worst cult in Japanese history.
The head of NSG(Daisaku Ikeda) has been expelled from Nichiren-shuu.
Nichirenshuu and NSG has a relationship similar to Baptist and Jehovah.
NSG has a political group called Koumeitou.
I'm sure that koumeito get a huge amount of
donation from NSG, which is illegal.
I believe that many people have been murdered by someone in NSG,
or someone related to NSG.
NSG is connected with Japanese justice system,
therefore, police always put some reason to not investigate the
NSG related crime.
Japanese media are scared to say the dark truth about NSG and Koumeitou.
Anyway, please type soukagakkai and press 変換 key and turn soukagakkai
to 創価学会 then click SEARCH.
