Why haven't you learned Japanese for those untranslated Japanese games?

I play games that I'll enjoy.

Not spending time learning a language to play a game I most likely wont like.
"Oh, but you learned language so you didnt waste time!", yeah but when the fuck am I going to use it? Let me start spouting random Japanese phrases I know without the accent to fluent speakers!

I’m learning Japanese cause I wanna FUCK Japanese girls, not to play some gay ass videogames.

>people need to know about my game so that I can enjoy it

back to your herd

Are video games still region locked?

I learned japanese but I can't stand to play jp vidya
reading is such a slog for me, especially if theres unknown kanji to the point where I'll just ignore the story altogether and focus on gameplay
at that point it isn't the full gamung experience anymore

Hey OP, all these people are mean. Thanks for making this thread. I keep falling off japanese and threads like these motivate me to pick it back up.

If nobody bothered to translate it then it's probbaly not good enough for me to play through it.

Back off to you retarded cunt, your games are all copypastes and you gobble it up like the idiot you are.

I started learning japanese and I don't even know why. I don't even play that many games anymore and I never watched anime much in the first place. I also hate learning languages. But I've been super consistent for 6 months now.

Congratulations, discipline is the key to freedom.
Maybe you could try and learn an easier language like french or german afterwards? Either way you're a model for anons to follow.

If you ever move to Japan you’ll have a better life ahead of you. Foreigners who speak nip are super rare here, so you’ll get a well paying job and a qt gf superfast.

You don't need to learn Japanese to fuck them incel, average nipo thots knows basic English

Not the user you replied to, but tell me more, please.

It's too hard, they have three different scripts, every word has its own character, and sometimes characters are just pronounced differently for no reason. I'm too brainlet to learn all this.

Keep girls are cool until you realize that
sex = we're getting married
for them and their line is proportional to your wallet.

You don’t need to know Japanese to fuck gaijin hunters no, but the number of Japanese girls who speak English is very narrow. Your options VASTLY expand the moment you’re able to hold conversation in their language as you just overcame the biggest hurdle.

Also, not an incel you dumb tranny.

What’s there to say? Japan is pretty sweet and “white privilege” is ACTUALLY a thing in Asia.

>we're getting married
Not necessarily, but most do want a bf, so will have to learn how to manage expectations if you’re not ready for that. Which is another reason for why you need to know the language.

How can I get the pronunciations to stick? I have no problem remembering the kanji and their meanings when I'm working through Core2K but I when I fail it's almost always because I can't remember how to say them. I started the grammar/vocab building stage just over 2 weeks ago and do 10 new cards a day (I also supplement with the KKLC) but if I increase that to 20 like I should then I'm worried that the cards are just going to pile up and become unmanageable.

i am, i just suck ass at it but i am slowly improving. I also have enough money to get decent books and classes so thats a plus. Maybe in 3 years i will be already decent at it.

I went to an english pub in Japan and made a fool of myself while attempting to explain the origin of the word lunatic and how the moon actually affects some people. How was your day, Yea Forums?

How do I stop doing nothing all day and put aside an hour for learning Japanese?

But I am. Currently working towards passing the N2 exam and have an internship in Japan over the summer

I started with Duolingo. It's ok to start and give you some basis and confidence to build upon but after you get to a good point there you can just leave it for Anki and similar

It just takes time. It's an entirely new sound system with vocabulary completely unrelated to anything you know.
As for the Chinese loanwords, look up phonetic components. For example a kanji with 工 in it will most likely be こう, any kanji with a 義 will be ぎ.

>learning all the kana in 'a day or two'
Fuck off with this shit bait

It's not bait. You just suck.

>dualingo
dude wtf is this? its just like rosetta stone. all this shit i see is for travelers. you don't want to learn japanese off of this shit

Attached: Capture.jpg (550x1212, 36K)

You can learn then all in a day or two yeah. It’ll just take 1-2 months before they fully stick.

At least rosetta stone teaches words. Duolingo just teaches rote memorisation of "correct" sentence translation.

Wow this guide is really fucking trash. like WOW

You're too lazy to read subs, how the fuck you gonna learn a whole language? 'Muricans are amazing

Creating memorable mnemonics, that's how you're supposed to do it.

What game are you playing? Out of curiosity, what was the first game you ever finished in Japanese? It was DB Fusions to me.

>omg you're first game in jp was only 3 years ago
Yeah yeah.

I'm sorry to hear that' One seen a few videos from that channel "Meet your love in japan" that talked about this a bit but I didn't think it was actually true.

How do you personally feel about outsiders user?

can I learn it in one month? if no I don't want to

You can learn to read and write, but soaking any language fluently and with ease didn't come in a month unless you're taking about Norwegian or Dutch.

yes

sure here is what you do.

1. make a list of all the words you know from anime or games.
2. go to japan and live there for a month
3. ????
4. profit

>yotsuboring
No. I'm a healthy human being.

The only big life changing project you can finish in under a month is probably kys.

On my second trip to Japan now. My language is a lot better than last time and people are a lot more receptive

I've also noticed I get more questions and conversations from female service workers. Like women cashiers, etc are making conversation with me, asking if I live in Japan, etc. D-do you think they like me anons? Only other people who engage with me are expats thankful to find a non retard tourist and drunk salarymen who are everything I hoped they would be.

Not today, dekinai-sama

does living in a country magically makes you learn a language? my brother friend went to china to study because he couldn't pass any entrance test here, he was super dumb but after going to china he got super good in chinese and because of this he has a job.
isn't it a little too much of time. but in less than a month I completed my school project which was an android app :^)

>anki means memorization
whats wrong with anki

It's hard work, which means he doesn't want to do it. But he doesn't want to feel bad about being lazy, so he lashes out and pretends that it's useless.

How long have you been learning the language?

I was in Japan a few months ago and loved it, planning on going back in a year or so and wondering how much progress I can make with the language before then.

Reading is too much work, and I don't even understand it most if the time because I spend too much time looking up words. I can only really read NHK easy news articles. Doesn't help I can't find a good game to play through in Japanese.

As expected of Yea Forums. I'll just dump some pics I took today before this thread gets deleted because nobody is actually playing shit.

agree. Used it up to that "intros" section, where they start gradually introducing you to katakana. It's a decent tool for memorization drills of reading and shit, like flash cards. But I wouldn't use it as my primary source.

If you're too lazy to read, you can always just watch native content with subtitles. Take a VPN over to Japan and watch their netflix, everything is subtitled and you can rewatch old anime and shit if you're that terrible.

Find an anime you like and work your way through the novels it's based on.

What, to make my game, manga and anime backlog even bigger than it already is?

Try luna nights or another game with not too much text. Then gradually move on to more text-heavy games and you'll be reading in no time.

Ehhh, off and on for like 5 years. But that's deceptive because that involves long breaks and inefficient studying. I took 3 semesters in college but I kinda slacked off. I did some memrise for a few months before my first trip and was disappointed to realize I still didn't know much.

About a year and a half ago I got serious about it. Listening to HKBK, sometimes 2-3 episodes a day while at work or in the bath, even when I understood only every 10th word or so. Reading NHK web easy at a snail's pace. Reading Yotsuba&. Anki. Etc.
I probably averaged 30 minutes on Anki a day across that time, maybe 1.5 hours of listening/tv/japanews stream on YouTube, and only like 20 minutes if reading a day. Typically that'd be like, a day of 2 hours reading then a few days forgetting to, etc.

It's really really just a battle of attrition. You'll feel like you don't understand anything for longer than feels proper. But in reality you're going from, say, 20% to 25% comprehension, neither of which is actually understanding but one of which is closer.

Eventually you suddenly find yourself able to understand full sentences on the news, and it's like a magic. Before you know it you'll be charming some drunk old guy who wants to show off that he can chug a Corona in one go, just like me!

And that's all I took today.

I'm playing Crimson Clover in Japanese :^)

I can't keep up a solid schedule :(

I am, but mostly I've been translating hentai and not playing. At least it's a good deed, right?

desu that's the main reason i'm a dirt duolingo user.
I like making number go big.

>オレ

yeah you can

Yeah that's all I'm doing right now. I just can't find a way to settle down and read that Tae Kim book, or those Genki books. Maybe I'll just do two chapters over the weekend of genki too.

Nah, fuck Heisig. I understand that it works for some people but it definitely doesn't work for me. That method is just way too not for me.
I recommend Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course instead. It's a somewhat similar approach to learning Kanji but without the parts I found retarded in Heisig.

You can do that without learning Japanese. If you need to learn Japanese to fuck Japanese girls, chances are you wouldn't be able to fuck them even if you learned the language.

I'm legit curious.

What are some *good* japanese games that are still not coming over and never will? Like, current gen ones. I remember back in the day ps3 vesperia being "that one" who drove a lot of people to try moonspeak.

It seems like every jrpg that comes out right now and has some sort of value it's guaranteed to come out in english eventually so.

It was more useful 10 years ago, but it's still good because you don't have to deal with shitty localizations that censor stuff or leave dual audio out, you also don't have to wait months or years. Still definitely convenient. As for what are current untranslated games that are "worth it", I can't say.

あんまり意味があらへん

But they're literally the same thing.

>games?
Those aren't games.

They are literally not.

I’m not Japanese. I’m a white guy living in Japan.

As for other outsiders. Idk, I find a lot of them to be very obnoxious. The Japanese are pretty based though. You see some crazy shit here though. Especially once booze is involved. Japanese girls are thirsty af.

What's the difference then?

Heisig teaches you 2000 kanjis that you recognize, and know what they mean, but it doesn't teach you the reading in Japanese. After you are done with the ~2000 kanji drills a'la Heisig, you can start learning the readings. With KKLC, there is no such retardation, it teaches reading too.

So how does Heisig "not do anything for you" when KKLC is just Heisig with more stuff? There's no actual benefit in studying readings, you'll learn them naturally as you do vocabulary.
You might as well say that KKLC is shit because it doesn't include grammar.

Learning kanji through Heisig is like learning all the Pokemon by their types, or random names based on their appearance.

I don't know about you, but it doesn't make any sense to me to learn everything about a kanji except how to read it, and do then having to study all over again but for reading this time.
It feels like you suddenly have to do twice the amount of work for no particular reason.
Again, I understand that it works for most people, but for me the whole thing on a conceptual level makes no sense.
In short, I think it's stupid to separate kanji learning from vocabluary, you don't. More power to you I guess.

>trying to learn Japanese
>often spend a day or two without doing anki and then when I eventually do my reps it's too much and I get frustrated
>not sure whether to practice writing kanji from memory or just be lazy(ish) with it and just learn to recognise them
>hardly ever read Tae Kim even though I should be doing it every day
