I read this as こくえん. I won Japanese.

two nukes weren't enough

Actually it is pronounced as くろざる

But my intention was to create the word nigger using kanji.

That reminds me I found some way to say nigger in Japanese then I googled it and found a lengthy post on futaba channel of a jap going on about how blacks are animals and a race of slaves. This is why I'm learning Japanese. Japs are based.

You can become conversational spending 1 hour a day for a year.

If you take into account the amount of time you waste in being inneficient e.g taking too long to wash the dishes, walking too slow, staring at the wall, thinking about useless stuff, taking to long taking a bath, just staring at the ceiling after you wake up, then you'll realize that it is not a lot of effort nor is it a waste of time. I've always wanted to learn Japanese and even if I were to drop it and never use it again it wouldn't have been a wasted of time because I would have completed one of my personal life tasks which is studying Japanese. Also I've wasted far bigger ammounts of time watching tv during my childhood, playing vydia, learning useless stuff at school.

You forgot browsing Yea Forums as an activity that is a waste of time.

The only times I've seen that word written it was written like this お珍々

But there really isn't anything wrong in writing it like 御珍珍.

Just starting? Kanji isn't really that bad. Most of it even makes sense. It can make gleaning the meaning of unknown words a cinch because the kanji tell you exactly what it means. There are those occasional weird words though that are made up of seemingly random kanji, and I'm not talking about ateji.

I used to know stroke order for a decent amount of kanji, but I haven't actually written Japanese in years, so fucked if I could tell you now.

Stroke this!

Why do people recommened watching this guy?

Writing characters is really fucking mechanical, like any other orthography. Once you get a grasp of it, you almost never forget how to write radicals

Well, I remember how to write some radicals, but not all of them. I don't even write all English letters the way they taught me in schools, so it's only natural I end up doing my own thing for Japanese too.

The first episode was good. Watching this one makes me glad I never went further in the series.

Do your reps faggots

I stopped that three years ago.

>reps for Kanji

Why are weebs so obsessed with brute forcing characters. Just fucking learn them in context like any other shit in the language

>Learn through context.
Lol. Nice joke

That's how the Japanese learn them right? They just learn naturally through context? Should be easy for them since they already know the language.

Hm? Not him, but that's what I started doing after a bit. 6 years later, it turned out fine.

Can you write anything?

As in write stuff on an actual paper? Not as fast as I can type stuff, but I can do it.

Yeah they are youtube.com/watch?v=Rj5FTPD_Dpc

How the fuck do you think babies and children learn language naturally? Contextual-based learning, starting with the onset of phonological development in the womb. That's how machine learning works for online translators and interpreters.

You learn a shit ton of vocab, great, but you have no idea how to actually use it in context. I've heard ESL say "I'm sucks" as opposed to "I suck" in the nominal form

By this logic rosetta stone is a good resource. Kys

No one here is a baby, user. The younger you are, the easier it is to learn a language. Adults can’t just “learn through context” like babies can.

too late

Just seeing Rosetta stone throw random words at you is not learning in context. Actually reading/listening to stuff in Japanese is learning through context.

>Random words
No. It throws sentences and sometimes phrases at you. And you're suppose to know what theyre saying through "context"

Humans are naturally inclined for speaking, but not for reading or writing. The former comes naturally, the latter require bruteforcing. When you're teaching first graders their ABCs, what do you do? Give them a book and tell them to learn from context? No. You write each letter who knows how many times first to make it stick.

All I'm gonna say is, everytime I struggle to remember a vocabulary word in anki, then I come across it while actually reading, I end up remembering it. This has happened dozens of times. That's why mining decks are more effective than Core2k or whatever after a certain point.

Japs also don't like your white ass either.

you subconsciously remember things better when you aren't actively trying and it comes up through happenstance as opposed to actively spending all your energy to connect the points in your brain to reach the same result

So what you're saying is that i can learn japanese through anime? Neat

Don't you think it is redundant to say "black monkey"?

I got lazy and haven't deligently studied for a year and a half. This is after studying Japanese for years, then living there for a year. I already feel like I've lost so much of it. Didn't think it could happen this soon.

てめぇらはできる。信じてる。がんばれ。

Dont worry just start learning again and you'll start remembering it again. This time thought dont be a できない

Languages have to be reawakened, any polyglot will tell you this. It's all in the "oh yeah that's right" part of your brain, just needs a little jostling.

Honestly reuse whatever you use to learn before assuming it wasnt classroom related. You should be able to plow through everything with confidence

I used to play Dota with him and his wife. They were always drunk but surprisingly good.

Do you guys use OCR programs? I think it's pretty fucking handy if you want to play VN/read raw mangas without having to draw an unknown kanji every 5 seconds

Fuck you bitch I'm perfectly conversant in Japanese. I can just basically read none of it, but it's been years since I've been misunderstood.

I suddenly feel motivated to learn Japanese.

So you don't know any Japanese?

There's nothing sadder in this world than ex-pats who think that because they can talk about the weather, they know Japanese.

Hot

Hey man if I can watch a move and watch my anime without subs and understand what's being said I'm pretty sure I'm doing just fine.

VNs can be hooked instead, and past a very early point any kanji you encounter that's unknown will probably just be something poorly hand-drawn that you already know, so OCR won't be very effective.

You aren't, but I can understand where you made this misconception. Spoken and written Japanese might as well be 2 different languages, in the spoken form word choice is drastically limited, it's like the equivalent between a 5 year old speaking English and an adult speaking English.

It's actually easier for adults because they have the ability to study. Babies take a fucking long time to learn a language passively.

Brainlets will never get this, they just use the baby thing as an excuse for why they "can't" learn a new language.

The basic reality is that babies are only better at accent elimination and slightly higher levels of fluency, but this is because they're taught by their parents over many years, who correct minor mistakes in grammar that everyone just lets slide when they're talking to adult learners.

If you paid a native to act as your father and point out even the most tiny grammar mistake you're making, you could get to baby tier level. But most people just get to a point at which they're understood by natives, and stop bothering with improvement.

>3 writing systems
I understand katakana but why does kanji fucking exist

Read nothing but hiragana and find out!

You can convey so much with so little. Don't worry, it takes time.

Kanji is actually super convenient, especially today when machine input means you don't actually have to write them by hand.

Well I can't really argue since things beyond a menu just go over my head, but just speaking suites my purposes of entertainment and porn well enough so I'm okay with that.

>just speaking suites my purposes of entertainment and porn well enough
You are joking, right? I could understand entertainment, if all you watch is anime and somehow have no interest in any new press releases, original works based off the series, basically 90% of supplemental stuff.

But porn? Tell me you're fucking kidding. The JAV industry is a joke, H-anime are awful, 95% of my fapping is done to unvoiced games and doujins. I thought it was hard to sink any lower, but you just straight up disgust me. Also, "suites" is not "suits", you should work on your English reading ability too.

Japanese is for fags so it has a lot of homophones. The syllable system can actually deliver a very limited number of different sound combinations compared to something like English so there's a fuckton of words that sound exactly the same, meaning there needs to be other stuff like ideograms to differentiate meaning. Besides, once you actually get used to kanji, pure kana texts look like absolute hell and difficult to read in comparison. Kanji can eventually make learning new words actually easier as well once you get used to them, because the basic meaning often stays the same.

If you mean historically, Japanese originally took the writing system from Chinese and the written language was actually even more fucked back when they only used manyougana, i.e. kanji to denote semantic meaning like now AND also in place of current kana to denote only sound, both simultaneously. So people always had to figure out whether a kanji was only used as a syllable or as a proper kanji.

It's actually really fucking annoying to read stuff without kanji

You understand katakana? Fucking doubt it. The entire reasoning of having two writing systems in the beginning was because men didn't want to share it with women. Now it's degraded to being a dumb ass substitute language. Kanji was literally just stolen from the Chinese because they lived right next to the Chinese and used their words. Only issue is there's like a hundred tribes so they all used them differently making there be multiple meanings to one kanji. That's where they fucked up.

Babies are so fast at learning a language because that's literally the only way they can communicate.
If you throw an adult into a situation where they're forced to learn the language or lose all ability to communicate, you'd be amazed at how quickly that adult learns. It's called immersion, actually, and it's by far the most effective way to learn a new language.

Yeah I'm honestly not a fan of written erotica, I know a lot of Japanese like to dick suck themselves but I do actually have friends who are tested passing 4 and 5 who don't really consider their literature anything better on average (which is not say they call it bad). So I don't see why their porn would be different, I enjoy JAV about as much as I enjoy regular porn, so eh it's good enough for me man. I can play video games and watch porn, sure there might be an untranslated unvoiced video game that's on the level of Planescape, but I have my doubts.

Did the Japanese ever lament the complexity of their language before learning of any Western languages? Even if they could memorize all of the Katakana and Kanji, writing them must have been a humongous pain in the ass compared to English. The slightest slip-up or overly-inked brush and the entire word would be indiscernible.

Attached: Japanese People Actually Drawn Looking Japanese in Anime.gif (500x333, 493K)

That's why they practice a lot unlike the dumb westerners. Their language also used to be a lot more retardedly complex and they've slipped up enough that it's completely changed similar to the evolution of western languages. It's actually a lot easier to read now that there's a standard, but they'll still have fonts that make it incredibly hard to read. Never mind trying to read hand written kanji.

Japan should stop using kanji and just stick to hiragana and katakana

They have literally thousands of characters made up of highly intricate line arrangements. A Westerner literally doesn't have to practice that much.

How long did it take to make a written work in the days of handwriting? What was the general length of a Japanese work made or copied by hand?

Imagine if English was written phonetically so that even children who have started to read can read anything after memorizing all the letters. A word like "right" would be written as "rait" while "right" would be pronounced literally as "ri-g-h-t". There would be no ambiguity in pronunciation. But then you have write, which would also be written as "rait", and you realize the only way to tell the meaning is based on the context. ai want tu rait a buuk rait nau (though with all the sounds in English, the alphabet would be more complex). While this problem wouldn't arise as frequently in English due to the sheer amount of potential phonetics the new alphabet would possess, Japanese is more limited because of how condensed it is in comparison. There are five vowel sounds. There are roughly 15 consonant sounds. That's around 80 unique syllables in total, not counting certain characters like っ or ん. And of those 80 syllables, some aren't even used anymore like yi, ye, and wu, or are uncommon like dji. Ultimately, a lot of Japanese words are homophones and being in a phonetic language, they need visual distinction in writing. Hence kanji.

English speakers have to practice spelling though. That's just as retarded as kanji.

>The slightest slip-up or overly-inked brush and the entire word would be indiscernible.
Hardly. That's like saying English words are indiscernible if you have messy handwriting.

Honestly, the biggest issue in writing is typos. People using the wrong kanji in the wrong spot, or relying on auto-correction stuff.

English has tens of thousands of words made up of "highly intricate" line arrangements. But you're not going to lose the thread of conversation if someone forgets to cross a t.

Kanji can be realistically boiled down to 200 radicals, and even further if you don't count some of the kanji that are themselves radicals.

japs need to stop living in the past and start using a non retarded writing system like the koreans did

セックスをしろよ。

English only has 26 letters though, 52 counting lowercase. Japanese has thousands and the characters are often highly complex. The entire character might be lost by a slip of the hand.

Korean looks ugly.

>see 爱
What do?

It sound and looks ugly. But for some reason Japanese looks and sounds beautiful. Why is this?

>Japanese has thousands and the characters are often highly complex.
This isn't true. Something like 蜘蛛 might look complex if you're retarded, but 虫知虫朱 is not difficult. 鬱 looks scary when you compress it down to 10pt font, but nobody has trouble with it despite only being able to make out the vague shape of it.

You're severely overestimating how "vital" you think every stroke is. There's a lot of wiggle room, and usually you have either a kanji right next to it, or some kana to make it even more obvious what the meaning and reading is.

What's an easy way to tell Japanese, Chinese, and Korean apart from each other? The only Japanese character I can immediately recognize is the tilted, backward e.

If you see an o, it's Korean. If there's a mix of complex and simple looking characters, it's Japanese. If all you see is mostly complex, you're probably looking at Chinese.

Honestly, the easiest way is to just learn kana.

Basically this It's like once you learn Japanese you can tell it apart from Chinese and Korean. People who mix it up at all confuse me because they look so different now.

>learning from that green owl
>can understand gana (though I forget which ones are which), some kana and shit-all kanji
How am I doing fellow weebs?

I had to lean in to make out the finer details of the bottom of the first two characters. The final character looks like basic compression has nearly destroyed it. How many characters are visually similar to them? Japanese seems like it can be an easily misread language.

Pretty much, if it's stick figures and houses it's Korean, lots of complicated squiggles then it's either Chinese or Japanese, if there are breaks with less complicated squiggles it's Japanese.
