What words have no equivalent in English?
My favorite is the German schweigen, and it is because it is not obscure at all—it is very useful and used all the time, especially in fiction. It means “to be quiet,” yet it is an action verb, not a linking verb. I find it fascinating that they have an action verb for doing nothing. I think the closest thing in English to it as far as an action verb connoting inaction, though not equivalent in meaning, is hesitate.It took me a while to get used to that word!I like doch, too. It is used in reply to a statement to say, “Yes it is!” or “Yes, so!” or “Yes way” or “Is so” or “"Yuh-huh” (if someone says, “nuh-uh”).—This coin is worth $500.—No way.—Doch.in the middle of a sentence, it is close to indeed, but not quite (that space is occupied by zwar). It is used there more to indicate that something may be surprising but yes, it is indeed true in spite of what you might think at first.
What are examples of sentences with the word "abash"?
Abash means “likely to embarrass someone, or make them feel unpleasantly self-conscious or ashamed”.You’ll want to take your grandmother to a movie not likely to abash… that is, a feature without strong language or graphic sexual depictions.Interestingly, you most often see this word today in the form of “unabashed”, which means “feeling no shame, embarrassment or compunction”, and it often is used to describe the shameless effrontery and chutzpah of people.The rock duo Milli Vanilli had the unabashed gall to claim that they had done the singing on their album, when it was later revealed that they had done no singing on it: the vocals were recorded by other singers.In the 1960’s, PLAYBOY was famous for releasing quotes from its so-called “unabashed dictionary”; these were phrases they submitted which very easily could be taken to have a sexual meaning.Today’s teenagers are unabashed by depictions of sexuality in the movies.

How would Shashi Tharoor say "I love you"?
Tharoor: You are exotic my lady. The way you shimmer into this ecclesiastical edifice, bedecked with jewellery, fragrant with attar of roses may even cuff Hebe. And your attire my dame. There ain’t another outfit on this pale blue dot that balances better the twin feminine urges to conceal and reveal. There is this fallacy that you ain’t going to be in cahoot with someone. But the myths have anecdotal accretions, almost all apocryphal. This distance now suffuses my heart, stifle my breathing and perhaps I can’t help my involuntary stride to you accentuated by the erratic speed of the celluloid. I have fallen for you my marquise, completely smitten. Forgive me for my effrontery and spunk but bluntly speaking my mademoiselle, je t'aime.Lady (dials someone on her cell and speaks): Haan pandit jee, Yeh Lodhi state aa jaiye aur saara samaan leke aaiyega.Tharoor: :DThug Life :pNote 1: He has used almost 75% of the exact words and lines in his works like Riot, The Great Indian Novel and The Five-Dollar smile.Note 2: Dr Tharoor is very fluent in French too.

Is it possible to learn Japanese purely by self-studying? What's its disadvantage over formal learning?
Yes. You can learn Japanese as every language.I don’t know what level you want to reach, and there is a high possibility that you’ll stop after 7 months. If you want to reach a conversational level with it, 7 or 9 months may be enough if you have experience with language learning. But considering your questions you don’t.If your goal is reaching proficiency, then just don’t. It’s not worth it. If you want to reach a good level you can by immersing yourself, trying to speak as much as possible and reading as much as possible. Listening is also really really important, but don’t listen to boring “book-like” things.The hardest part is that it’s never enough. I’ve seen people having a japanese wife, teaching japanese, having worked in Japan and still finding quite a few words they don’t know!!! It happens with every language sure, but much more with Japanese. You’ll rarely or never say “I understood 100% of what I heard and read today”.If you want to learn Japanese, you have to take it seriously and learn everything. Hiragana, katakana, kanji, words, pronunciation, formal speeches etc. if you start avoiding hiragana like everyone, don’t even continue because you’re going to suck and no one will talk with you.You can follow three roads:JLPT: Aim towards the Japanese exams, buy books, pass the exams and discover after some years that you can’t even talk with a native speaker Alone: Put your social life apart and work hard every day and start reading(nhk easy news), watching(YouTube), talking(Hellotalk) and learn the grammar when you actually need it and by watching videos where people explain it(create a playlist on youtube)In the country: You can apply the two roads I wrote above but you can practice much more if you force yourselfI’ll tell you this thing before you even attempt to start. Japanese is so difficult that even if you had a Japanese girlfriend/boyfriend, even if you’re living in Japan and even if you’re having 1000 of possibilities to use it, there is no guarantee that you’ll get good at it. And if you start doing things you don’t really enjoy (like using tons of texbooks), you won’t last long enough.Good luck and I hope to see you speaking a great Japanese one day.P.S: Avoid lessons. Follow your rhythm and if you want to spend money with a teacher/tutor, use that opportunity to speak speak and speak only in Japanese. Nothing more than that.
