laugh o well, its redlink's choice (but i think by now, he/she would hv figured it out already)

Yes, I did. I'm a girl by the way. ; ) The answer was...

せんこは 何ですか。

One tiny mistake, it should be せんこうは何で すか。
You missed the う. smile I hope it was just a typo and you didn't forget it on your homework... Teacher would mark off for that, most likely.

I'm rather confused by the answer...so much I looked it up in a dictionary. We're talking about Asian research right? "先古 【せんこ】", so we're referring to ancient times, right? All entries in my dictionary for せんこう have nothing to do with research...or am I just missing a meaning? Unless we're insulting the teacher in which case "先公 【せんこう】 (n) (sl) (insulting word for) teacher" works just fine.
laugh

And as far as question words, she never said what kind of questions were on her homework (nor exactly what kind of vocabulary was being studied)...so how were we to know? bigrazz

専攻 【せんこう】 (n,vs) major subject; special study.
専攻（せんこう ）は何（なん） ですか。 What's your major (in college/whatever)?
アジア研究（け んきゅう）です 。 Asian studies.

I'm pretty much doing the same stuff as OP (or sounds like it) in my beginning Japanese class.
Hope that helps.

OHHH. Yeah. Hah. I'm an idiot. I ALWAYS forget that word. Then again, I've only had to use it twice back when I was taking lessons, so it never stuck. laugh Then again, I still haven't taken a placement test for which level I should be in yet though...

I'm trying to get a certificate in business management, and I'm taking japanese as a side class. I have taking another japanese class before this, but I didn't really learn that much. I'm only taking Japanese 1 so we have hardly learned any kanji at all. So yeah.
