How come they know about Dekinai-chan?

I'm glad I know Japanese so I can read funny shit like this: exhentai.org/g/1369204/fba25a5ff5/ without having to wait half a year for it to get translated if I'm lucky, and without having to see all the garbage redrawing work some poor bastard is going to have to do for it.

Is there a good way to somehow jumpstart the progress of the cards which are recorded in an anki deck? I used a shitty anki clone that's free on ios for a while, now i want to change to actual spaced repetition. I managed to convert my deck to anki format, but the way the progress was recorded is incompatible with anki and i'm not sure what to do with all those cards i mostly know. Is bumping the number of new cards daily to like 2000 for a while the only way? I suppose even if i do that i need to go through the entire deck a lot of times. Can i manually edit the progress of individual cards?

When do you plan on starting to learn japanese?

>ios
ahahahahahahah

I'm planning on taking a japanese course to learn the basics. Is it an outdated way of learning languages these days?

Taking a course to learn a language has been outdated since books were invented, it's something simpletons with no willpower waste their time on.

I got a hand-me-down iphone ok.
And the anki people are fucking jews for asking money only on ios.

I've been reading at the same time, but yeah my grammar is somewhat lacking.

You'd be learning at a speed fitting for retards together with retards who have no motivation and think remembering kana is a great achievement. Don't do that.
More like since audio records were invented. Listening to native speech is a very important part of learning a language but today you have all the anime in the world to help you with that.

Sell it to some Apple schmuck and get an Android. It's what I did.

There's tons of untranslated manga.

I fucking wish all kanji were like the ones on the bottom of the picture. They may look horryfying but they also tend to have only 1-2 readings and very rigid meaning associated with them.

Good luck remembering and learning to quickly distinguish between that fucking niggerion of kanjis with 青,責 and 糸 radicals in them.

Attached: 1547386552695.jpg (540x540, 34K)

I can listen to podcasts and stuff like that fairly easily but I'm not even halfway through n3 kanji, I think the vocabulary you learn when practicing for jlpt doesn't overlap a huge amount with the Japanese that people use while chitchatting

I guess it's somewhere between 2 and 3. Depending on your perspective.

lesser quality works are way more likely to get translated, because they're easy to translate, for your average isekai an n5 kanamonkey is good enough, for more mature and elaborate works you'd need someone with better than n1 knowledge and those people won't translate 6 volumes for free

There's also enough translated manga to last you a lifetime.

>learning japanese so you can fall for Todd's propaganda in another language

It depends on the topic. Like, sure I can listen to those "advanced" japanese learning podcasts. But real ones dedicated to some very specific topics are another kind of beast.
Same for video games and anime and shit. I.e. RE2 was piss easy, MH wasn't because of all the hunting jargon and convoluted skill descriptions and shit.

But most of them are shit.

I guess I only listened to podcasts where people waffle on about daily stuff, I started watching streamers lately though and the parts that I didn't understand where either the names of foods or japanese memes

>skipped on my reps today
I knowo

Cool Mary save me please.

It also depends on how high your standard for "understanding" stuff is. A lot of people think they understand shit just because they grasp the context and their brain fills up the holes. I don't think it should count. You don't get shit unless you can pause at any moment and dissect complete meaning and context of every single sentence you hear/read. Not doing that may make you feel better about yourself but it's also not productive for learning.

whatever, Yea Forumsutist

I learn japanese so I can consume my waifu’s media without relying on some middleman from tumblr.

Well I dunno what you're watching either, I have this on the background now and I don't know how could you have trouble understanding anything in it, other than the occasional tetris terms, but then again it's not like most people would know what a T spin is despite speaking English
youtube.com/watch?v=cwvlT3YDD38

>quickly distinguish between that fucking niggerion of kanjis with 青,責 and 糸 radicals in them
It's piss easy if you learn to write, moreover 青 is phonetic most of the time.

It's okay, I'm having fun struggling.

Well, yeah. Of course this one is easy since it's just a bunch of generic ass exclamations and her describing what is happening on the screen.

youtube.com/watch?v=coYw-eVU0Ks

Try this. Hard mode: do it without looking and try describing to yourself precisely what the each report was talking about.

Seems like a waste of time, I can barely write my alphabet's 59 letters in a manner that is legible for anyone but me.

I was learning to write from the very start, they are still a bitch. 青 being phonetic is also kind of a bitch because you have to just memorize whether it reads as "sei" or "shou" in each word.

some official got drunk and was harassing a girl and they're starting the investigation about it now
the next one was some research about AI and you could show that to me in english and I wouldn't understand half of what they're saying because I'm not an AI expert
you know unless you want to be a lawyer or an AI researcher in japan I don't think you really need any of this, if you just want to chat up girls and do some basic job then the vocabulary that the girl playing tetris has is good enough which is about N2 level, reading a research paper about AI technology goes way above N1

>reading a research paper about AI technology goes way above N1
Thing is: this isn't a program for engineers or lawyers. It's a regular ass news report aimed at an average Japanese adult. It is n1 level, sure, but it's not some you can excuse not understanding if you want to live there.

But I just got accepted to a PhD program in Japanese. Am I fucked?

My friend is doing one. He studies every day, but doesn't overwork and just parties and fucks Japanese girls in his spare time.

nah I can perfectly excuse not understand AI research, it is aimed at japanese adults with high education and interests in these subjects
if you go to japan and chat to a girl in a bar she won't start quizzing you about technology and law terminology because she doesn't know any of that shit either, she probably works at a factory or some shit
your expectations are way too high, if you go japan with speaking no japanese you can get by with some luck, if you go there with n4 you're pretty much good you just need to ask an official to help you with papers, with just n2 you're perfectly set for life, and streamers like that girl use n2 level of japanese

>Only obscure and lesser quality works are untranslated.
keep begging for translation, especially in the near future where piracy apocalypse will surely happen

>f you go there with n4 you're pretty much good you just need to ask an official to help you with papers, with just n2 you're perfectly set for life, and streamers like that girl use n2 level of japanese

also it's funny that you'd call me an eop, does it look like I speak native English to you? sure I'm not putting a lot of effort into talking right now but I think it still looks pretty wank, and English is more like the third language for me, I speak my native, then I learned German, then I learned English
I never learned how to read research papers about science or law in English and it's still good enough to fool you into assuming that I'm a native, you don't need any more in Japanese either, know enough that you can get by, chat to people and you're good
well you know, languages are about communicating with people, not sitting in your room spending years studying something and acting all haughty about knowing more than someone else, if that's what you like then learn physics
I don't think grannies watch something like that, or even have an inkling of what AI is, go around your circle of friends and ask how my of them regularly watch programs about AI research, well, if you have a circle of friends that is

yeah and you guys talk about the AI research you saw on the news all day I bet, not just chitchat about everyday events

is an hour/ hour half a day worth it, or should it be more?

We don't. But I feel warm knowing I could if I wanted to.

I feel warm when I'm eating a nice soup, I don't need so spend years learning useless shit for that

That depends on how impatient you are with seeing results

>an hour/ hour half a day
As in "1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes"? That's plenty. But even 15 minutes a day will get you somewhere if you stick with it.

I don't count it by hours, I'm just trying to learn 5 kanji a day, however long it takes during that day

Not him, but I don't have to remember technical jargon to actually describe whatever the fuck a news report was talking about in neither English nor my native language.
Believe it or not, you also have to be able to read local legal documents regardless of whether you are a lawyer or not.

Depends on how good your program is, how concentrated you are going to be during that hour and how long are you willing to wait for results. I.e. this isn't nearly enough if you want to reach n3 level in less than 2 years.

>needing 2 years to reach a you-know-nothing level, N3

You should aim at half an hour to hour of anki (more than an hour means you do something wrong) and at least two hours of consuming content: listening or reading. The more the better.

Sure it is. An hour and a half per day is plenty to reach N3 in two years.
After around two and a half years J-CAT gave me N2, and I think I studied less than an hour per day on average.

I know a bunch of niggas who study daily or semi-daily who still haven't done it after 4+ years. Don't assume you are going to do better than them unless you are willing to work harder.

Hey I can read doujins pretty comfortably now.

no way. doujin is already harder to read than any shounen shit simply because they don't have furigana.

It's going. I have a dedicated 2 hourish long study time every weekend and then reviews throughout the week. In my current pace I should have most conversational kanji learned by mid 2020.

Attached: 1538837002591.png (1317x731, 174K)

you won't be able to dissect it and analyse it sentence by sentence either, you'll just give a vague summary of "they talked about something like this I guess"
so you ask an official or a friend, if you want to be a 100% self sufficient in everything you do in your life without any help from anyone then enjoy spending 5 times more time on everything than it is normally needed
japanese native people get scammed, and english natives get scammed in america too, that's hardly an excuse for anything, don't sign stuff about real estate without your lawyer's opinion, this applies regardless of where you live and what languages you speak
everyone in the chat is japanese as well, but thanks I'll hang out with whores and uneducated japanese people because I don't have a phd in AI research so I don't want to talk about that, not in English, not in German, not in my native and not in Japanese
but you can enjoy studying 5 years learning how to read science articles so when you get to japan you can chat about the weather while washing dishes

Furigana is useless for non-natives because you don't learn words without their kanji writing like Japanese kids do.

It makes looking stuff up way easier, though.

>bro just ankidrone instead of actually reading stuff
Never said to not read stuff. You will hardly remember anything if you do just that though.

just mocking stupid people, but I guess it's the matter of objectives, if I'm going to Japan then I want a simple job and talk with uneducated whores, preferably ones that like anime and video games, so I'm happy with learning enough Japanese to do that, if you want to go around AI research conferences and shit then I guess you better keep up with those news, now if you're not a phd in AI then it looks a bit silly though

Not really, but if you do it's really good for drilling shit into your brain.

You clearly haven't completed your 10000 hours of anime yet. You can't learn Japanese.

It's not something that's usually done because it's very time-consuming, but I do that too and feel it really helps.

I do exactly that, and it's taken me forever to make it to volume 12 (I don't have a ton of time to read, to be fair). Kobako obviously missed out on a career as a taxonomist, or at least an entomologist.

It's always weirdly disconcerting how I can fly through some chapters in ten minutes, and then the second Kurihara opens her goddamn mouth it can take me days to thoroughly understand everything (ditto when the other characters go on one of their "let's discuss idioms" binges).

How many cards do you guys review per day?

I have the worst memory. I started with 30 words daily to see how it will go, had to lower that to 5 and even then it kept piling up. In the end I had to accept that I'm retarded.

Around 50 because I mine pretty slowly
But 900 today because I finally stopped neglecting core

Stop adding new words until you get good retention for the ones you've already learned.

I recently finished my mining deck, so I only get like 120~150 reviews a day nowadays. Used to be like 225 + 25 new cards.

Even if I JUST wanted to know it for entertainment (not exactly true) there's tons of shit it'll be useful for. While anime feels mostly solved translation-wise, there's still some older shows and kids anime like duel masters out there not getting subbed. Manga isn't in as good a place as anime, there's a lot more in that world with either an incomplete translation or nothing at all. It'll help tremendously for light novels and visual novels too, with how much slips through the cracks. Let's not forget all the drama CDs and radio shows too. Plus I've been getting into idols, and even a lot of the mainstream 48G content has no fucking subs somehow, let alone all the streams and content from other idol groups.

I'm in the same boat but im learning the gradeschool kanji and the vocab at the same time. I thought the numbers system was cool and easy until I was told that the japanese have specific ways to count things

Fuck.

Just memorise the Hiragana and Katakana, don't write them.

I can't read something while listening to j-pop anymore since I can actually understand the lyrics now and it's distracting (and embarrassing).

user, if you can't understand layman-oriented news articles about slightly technical topics, you might be the stupid one.

How often do people IRL say ふんいき vs ふいんき?
know that I've only ever heard ふいんき in anime.

I can't understand those in any language, nor do I want to, I guess I'll enjoy being a stupid dishwasher with 1/5th time invested while you enjoy being a smart dishwasher with 5 times more time invested

I don't think I've ever heard ふいんき, I think you're just shit at listening comprehension.

Not with whatever shitty font it is that you're using.

No, it's definitely a common alternate reading.

Yeah, when it comes to sentence order I think they've actually managed to come up with something even more bullshit than kanji.

That's what you get when you take something out of context. Japanese relies on it very heavily, but if have it you'll have no problems.

>That example.
Cats do not have crimson red heads.
Normal speech puts adjectives as they go.
Only literature has any reason to toy excessively with the word order.
If you come across someone who is clearly ignoring the traditional word order, s/he clearly doesn't do it with the intent of everyone understanding him/her clearly.
Etc. Etc.

This is a JLPT issue, not a real world one.

Isn't that a flaw, that a language has to rely on context so heavily?

Didn't he just wrote "yes, phone exists"?

The を makes the phone into the object, so the subject defaults to "I".

You don't seem to know English or Japanese
You wouldn't use を there

No. People usually don't like redundancy.
For example, cases let you know the function of a word in a sentence without any context, and people universally hate them.

There's no way I'm going to put that much time and effort into learning something when I've already gotta work, gym, bike, masturbate, watch anime and play games on a daily basis.

I wish I'd have the backbone for the runes though

are you implying that page is difficult?

Says (You). I started learning Japanese because my favorite manga stopped getting regular translations. That was a year ago. It has been worth it so far.

what manga was it?

The one featuring this cute aunt, of course.

suck and are mostly made by people who are just learning the language. And I am being civil here. This probably applies to all other forms of Japanese media, too.

They were denied cu for "reasons unknown" and tu does not exist in Japanese. Hence it's a no-brainer to go with tu instead of tsu.

Not that page necessarily, but the use of language in Yotsuba is so nuanced that there's no way a beginner will be able to understand even half of it.

It's not like cases are the only option, English doesn't have them and the pictures still would be described by five different sentences. When it comes to simplicity of sentences, the optimum seems to be somewhere in the middle, so you don't have to fuck around with 20 cases in three genders for every word, but you also have the means neccessary to accurately convey the exact meaning.

KANPAI, YOU BITCHES

It's easy to read and understand.
But the more you know, the more all the various quirks start making sense.

This one's probably because that's how they type it out on a keyboard.

Can confirm. For instance, CR's subs are subpar at best. They often change sentences and ignore subtleties in the name of localization.

People perceive language learning as a chore and project onto others. And it's hard to blame them given the conventional wisdom on how language is supposed to be learned. I mean just look at this thread full of misguided anons learning to pass exams instead of pursuing genuine knowledge.

I read something recently where the furigana was just more kanji, that's some real fucking high level nip.

>when the kanji says the name of the character, but the reading is 俺の仲間

In some VN I've seen a word that was written in one way, had furigana for another, and was read in a third way.

I'm confused,should I just learn jap or just develop an AI to autotranslate?Or let anons do the translations for me?Or spend my life shitposting?

>develop an AI to autotranslate
Teaching Japanese to a regular intelligence is hard enough.

>I'm confused,should I just learn jap or just develop an AI to autotranslate?

If you knew anything about AI, you'd also know how non-trivial that is and that it's balatntly easy to prove a perfect translator AI is not possible. Only varying degrees of bad.
At least for the give text, get translation model.

There, I just saved you hours looking up the basics of AI which you clearly don't know.

>a perfect translator AI is not possible
It's possible with a general strong AI. But with it everything is possible.

Well, aren't translations by people also just varying degrees of bad?

>make AI that translates literally
>people whine that it sounds bad in english
>make AI that localises everything
>people whine that it's too far from the original text
With translations you always lose

Depends. I was talking specifically about the text model for a reason.

A human doesn't have to rely on that alone. And indeed, stuff goes south very quickly when they do.

To make a perfect translation, you'd have to describe the entire context of what was happening when the sentence was ushered.
"Granny came downstairs, me and my siblings were standing around in this or that place, it was this time, we were wearing these things, he had had an argument with granny the other day,.." is the context, now tell me what he meant when he said "Sorry, not sorry."

And this just gets more and more ridiculous when you go a step further and try to explain the setting of a wuxia anime to the AI so it could make a translation of a retarded move name that is based on the internal lore of the setting.

is right, but his argument basically comes down to "Well, if you make a perfect human copy..."

He's probably too stupid anyway, but you still shouldn't give people ideas like that.

>Should I just be reading baby books?
No. Pick some sol manga and stick through it.

100 kanji ago, I'd say. Be prepared to check every single kanji you see, though, and move at like 2 pages per day.

I started reading manga when I knew only 100 kanji. Took me two weeks to go through the first chapter and many months to finish it, but it was fun, and that's what counts.

Don't give up user. It takes time before it becomes useful.

Did you even remember any of the new words if you're having to look up that much? Looking up everything for 2 pages a day and then moving onto the next doesn't feel like it'd reinforce anything you learn.
Maybe it's just my shit memory as I've got some words with over 20 lapses in Anki so seeing it a couple of times in a manga probably wouldn't do anything.

Nah, you write them down and memorize using a method of your choice. They go in much more easily if you know the context.

>Listening to native speech

Never do that. Watch movies, news, whatever. Just not anime. They don't speak naturally. If you pick up "anime accent" there will be no help for you.

When do you use ore in real life? I get that boku and watashi are standard choices and the rest is very situational.

I've heard japanese guys in their twenties use ore before, I just use watashi though.
I don't think anyone would particularly mind that.

The amount EOPs miss out on, without even realising it, is just absolutely fucking insane. I played a game a year ago, it's translated now, but the fucking audio dramas aren't. The 4koma isn't, the manga adaptation probably won't even get scanned, nevermind translated. The staff interviews where they talk about the themes of the work and what they have planned for the future are so far off the table that it's a fucking joke.

And this isn't just a particular work. EVERYTHING is like this, as an English only peasant it's like you're living in a tiny opaque bubble, and you think everything is "fine" because you cannot even comprehend what is outside of it.

I did 20 a day without an issue, and then did 100 vocab a day for a few weeks because of how easy core 4k becomes when you already know all the kanji. Past that point you start running into more unfamilar words so you have to cut it down to a more manageable pace, but learning 20 new things a day is really the minimum.

Attached: table.png (595x842, 235K)

I don't think you understand, I HAVE read a lot(A LOT) of manga series. And I was able to do that because of Anki. Manga largely doesn't teach me anything new anymore, it's too basic. I don't know how large my actual vocabulary is, but I think it's a couple thousand words more than what I have in Anki. I've completed several 100+hour RPGs, watched hundreds of hours of Japanese television/anime without subtitles, about a hundred episodes of a Japanese podcast, the list goes on.
You're not wrong that I would have had more fun at the beginning if I had naturally acquired my foundational vocabulary, but you're wrong about the other part. I would be much farther behind where I am now if I had not used Anki.
Shhh, I started studying all the way back shortly before it was kicked off, this is a nice rush of nostalgia for me.

It's not?

Just one small correction:
>10ヶ月の努力の挙句
This isn't the correct usage of あげく. Some alternatives:
10ヶ月励んできた挙句、
10ヶ月頑張ってきた挙句、
10ヶ月足掻いてきた挙句、
I think you get the idea. If you wanted to keep your initial sentence structure instead of 挙句, you'd be best off replacing it with 結果 or 成果 or something similar. That said, good job user. Your grammar is really impressive for 10 months.

Yes, it is. You have no excuse for not being able to memorize a simple syllabic alphabet.

Not him but no they really aren't comparable. When you're a child the part of your brain responsible for language skills is basically running on overdrive, but as you grow older you become less and less susceptible to learning new languages. Which is why children living in multi-lingual households or environments can easily become fluent in multiple languages without even being formally taught, whereas you or I struggle to gain basic competence in a single language despite months or years of constant study.

I knew about children being more proficient at picking up languages but in this case we're talking about pure memorization of kana

If you sat a child down and some adult man down and told them to memorize like 100 characters within an afternoon I would think the adult man would be able to memorize them better

I'm not arguing over whether memorizing an alphabet in one day is easy or not.

>New neurons and new memories: how does adult hippocampal neurogenesis affect learning and memory?
>Without neurogenesis, new events (represented by different shapes) are limited by the set of sparse ‘codes’ (combinations of active neurons) provided by mature granule cells in the dentate gyrus. This can lead to the dentate gyrus not having the flexibility to encode new memories well or to interference between memories formed in the hippocampus (shown as a cluster of memories in a projection of the high-dimension hippocampal ‘memory space’). New neurons (shown in green) provide new sparse codes for encoding new information, while older memories are preserved because they are represented by older neurons (shown in red). This can facilitate the formation of new memories while avoiding catastrophic interference, saving older memories (shown in the left panel as two separate clusters of memories in a projection of the high-dimension hippocampal memory space). The three-way arrow indicates that new neurons can change how memories are encoded in the hippocampal network. Neurons born at different times (shown in green and blue in the right panel) represent different inputs, and the sparse codes generated at a particular time are clustered together (active neurons in a population are similar in composition to one another), separately from sparse codes that were generated at a different time, essentially encoding time into new memories.

>When you're a child the part of your brain responsible for language skills is basically running on overdrive
This is a common misconstruance of reality. The thing that's remarkable about children's language acquisition abilities is the fact that they do it with no prior linguistic foundation, they aren't actually much faster at developing high-level language skill than adults. They attain low-functioning fluency at an early age, but children are typically not fully developed in their language abilities until high school. That's twelve years of active language building if we're being really conservative. Meanwhile an adult foreign language learner that's really dedicated can become fully fluent and develop advanced language skill in a fraction of that time. It will be much more difficult and it is necessarily a more active process, but adult brain function is developed more across the board.
I acknowledge the fact that children memorize things differently, but memorization(dependent upon the brain's proclivity towards formation of new neural connections) and comprehension of the whys and hows of a language(dependent upon the possession of an already well-developed mind) are two different things.

What a fresh hell this is.
At least I occasionally supplement my "learning" with reading posts from 5ch.

I was never a NEET, but I feel your pain. I transferred to a proper Engineering School from the community college I was at and it's impossible to find time. I already passed N1 but I'm worried that I'll atrophy.

You will, no doubt about that, happens with any skill.
If you actually did the work, you'll find that refreshing yourself later on will be much easier than when you were green and learned new things, so it's not too horrible.

Me, I was bad before, probably N4 or worse, but now I started a degree that'll take years.
I also dropped core once some months passed after I completed it, my reps are just my mining deck at this point, and my memory makes an alzheimer senior look like a savant.

How do you study kanji properly?

The first 1000? One by one. After that? Mining vocab.

I can, I only need time.

They’re syllbaries without inherent meaning. All you have to do is remember what sound is associated with which symbol. It’s no different from the English alphabet.

I didn't start learn Nip until I got a job after college where I sit around all day and have a bunch of time to kill. Don't lose hope user.

what job

Programming

oh

Lmao same here. It's really easy to kickstart Japanese learning when you have nothing to do.
t. another code monkey

wish i went into code monkeying instead of mechanical engineering

How to get good at code/progamming and become a comfy code monkey?

>it's no different from four English alphabets
FTFY.

install gentoo

What are the chances of landing a job in electrical engeneering in Japan? are the jobs really 16 hours a day where the 8 extra hours are unpaid? The pay is a lot higher there than in they country where I had to be born. Moving to the USA would be the best case scenario money-wise.

You only work 8 hours a day in Japan though. I don't know why they would need electrical engineers from overseas though.

BWC and to take me out of a life of misery living in a third world shithole.

>third world shithole
Eastern Europe? Poland? Russia?

Should I go to Yea Forums, Yea Forums or /vg/ for this type of posting?

I wont say which country in order to prevent that language from being spoken itt

Yeah dude, you're 2/3 done! よくできました! Only one more to go!

Good luck! You're gonna need it

What did he mean by this?

I thought Japanese didn't have any consonants besides "n", but aren't ヴ and っ consonants?

They had to accommodate other languages with an official standard and this is the result.

>ヴ
Only exists because of foreign words.

>っ
It's not a sound. It's more of an inflection.

Nips can clearly pronounce non "n" consonants because of っ, but they still pronounce every foreign word that ends in a consonant with either an "o" or a "u." This just grinds my gears.

>tfw Koreans can learn to speak perfect English but the nips will just never get it right

>pronounce non "n" consonants
No they just stress the consonant part of the sound more. It doesn't make the vowel go away.

>What is Saori Hayami or Nao Taoyama

i can read hiragana and katakana but i simply cannot write them down, shit is like drawing for me. i cannot draw

VERDAMMT!

Go to 2channel. Shitposting on Yea Forums gave me fluency in English.

you´re missing a に bro

Japanese girls are not too difficult, and it doesn't take too much Japanese to see girls at soaplands or brothels if that's your thing. I even had one write me a note of encouragement to study.

It's really fucking sad that you think a quickly scribbled note from a whore means anything but "thanks for the money, retard".

It is easy to fuck japs, because you can always find them at gaijin hunter bars and if you aren't a troll you can fuck one for the price of a drink or two.

>caring about what a whore thinks
I really hope nobody does this, always take what you get at face value. It's the same with shit like idol handshake events, just pretend that they are genuinely happy to see you.

>It's the same with shit like idol handshake events, just pretend that they are genuinely happy to see you.
Why? Not only are you deluding yourself, you're wasting money. Give that money to dudes who actually understand what you're into instead, instead of paying a girl for winning the genetic/face surgery lottery and acting cute.

>Give that money to dudes who actually understand what you're into instead
But I'm not into dudes. And personally I don't care enough about 3d idols to spend money on it, it was just an example.

Going with a course is not a bad choice, learning on your own can lead to having some serious holes in your knowledge, specially with the basics, once you get the hand of it i guess it's ok.
