Why have you not started learning Japanese yet?
You can play niche games like Trails of Cold Steel 4 right on release date, and you can set the audio language to Japanese, thus ensuring you experience the best voice acting available while also being able to understand what they're saying.
I myself am only about 3 weeks in, but I'm hoping in 6 months to a year (depending on how annoying Kanji is to learn) I'll be able to comfortably play unlocalized games.

I was about to start using Duolingo just for the Japanese lessons. Can you share why it's not a good teaching tool?

Lol don't kid yourself bud unless you are living in Japan using the language every single day you won't even get close to that unless you want to be constantly looking up words. Even then that's a stretch.
Especially with the Kiseki games which are quite difficult to read with massive amounts of text.
t. played Ao in Japanese

No way. By the 6th month's mark you'd be barely able to understand simple sentences. Anyway, it's a long process so keep up and don't slack off.
足こき
I know that feeling brother
its not a teaching tool.
its a :
study tool
review tool
practice tool
it's pretty passive but more active than flash cards.
stupid smelly weebs
get on my level
It's incredible that you have spent entire weeks learning things that can be learned in a couple of days like hiragana and katakana (at least hiragana and katakana recognition) and some basic greetings.
Oh, I guess I get it now. You're just baiting.
i can, you cunt
j-just wait
Not baiting, just stupid.
ESL here
if you want to study a language the first thing you should learn is grammar
while working on grammar you'll learn vocabulary
if you start from the vocabulary you'll only learn some basic phrases by heart without knowing how to actually speak
and that's why duyolingo sucks
I've already been playing for a year just fine.
Duolingo is by far the most accessible. 5 million people learning Japanese every day. They're not all idiots
To play an rpg would take about 2000~ hours of studying
And thats with ideal conditions, Not duolingo
You could learn very basic phrases and build something of a foundation but you won't learn Japanese using just that.
>Comfortably play unlocalized games with just 1 year of studying.
Rich.
You know there are threads on /jp/ about this if you're serious and not baiting.
ただいま
out of ~6.6 billion people,nim sure 5 million can be idiots
I studied 300 kanji with RTK and i want to die already
>inb4 >RTK
i was meming to a friend recently and wanted to say the equivalent of "makes you think". would just 手伝ってさせる have the meaning i'm going for?
おかえりなさい
おかいい!
uhhh that's not right. i meant 考えされる.
it can't be helped...
Ironically, RPGs are playable with very basic japanese, you will just have to remember the words for stats/status effects, maybe some attacks.
If you want to actually get a good grasp on what's going on, then yeah, you'll have to study a lot. But this is equally true for most game/book/manga genres.
And they are. If you actually want to learn Japanese, pick up a textbook and get the grammar down, then focus on vocabulary and kanji.
I've been using Duolingo, Anki, Kanji Tree and Obenkyo casually for about 18 months now. Also used Wani Kani a bit, but it was kind of annoying and I stopped after exhausting the free content. I've definitely learned some stuff, but I'm still hopeless in conversation other than some really basic stuff, or I have to take a full minute to think about how to phrase something. My grammar is fairly shit too. I've barely scratched the surface of Tae Kim's guide to grammar. I've only gone through 1k terms in Anki, but I have a very loose grasp on about 600 of them.
I don't think what I've done is at all efficient if you want to learn japanese quickly. I've been doing it casually mostly as a side activity because Duolingo and Anki are fun. From what I've heard and from my own experience learning english, the best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in untranslated audio media while picking up grammar on the side. I'm just not that committed to learning japanese.
Duolingo sucks. Get Genki or Minna No Nihongo. You should only spend 4-6 months getting done with N5. Duolingo stretches that way farther and doesn't bother with actually teaching you any grammar.
Only 2,700 more to go, user.
You'd better be practicing writing them all too.
