Someday I'll be able to tell her "Let's go for a jog, babe" in Japanese ;_;

She cant, just keep at it. She will only motivate, not teach.

for the wacky foreigner who can almost speak the language but is really cute for trying so hard points

I've only started learning 2 months ago.

for all the nip speaking anons,
hows 2ch/5ch is it better or worse than here

even natives don't know their language perfectly, and since i don't live in japan or planning to live there i don't care

she didnt learn japanese

I'm working on it but I'm only interested in hiragana so I can learn the spoken language. Miss me with the Chinese 5000 hieroglyph shit

Because Memrise changed their format every 6 months and made me start from scratch.

I started it again after a few years though and it’s really improved. Shit they have grammar stuff now instead of just hiragana

Holy shit I’m actually recognizing some of the words.

I mean mostly the hiragana, and I haven’t been learning very long. but at least I know it’s sticking.

So the best way to learn it would be to first master hiragana and katakana, but how the fuck will I learn what each word means?

i can read the hiragana and 5, how good am i

Personally, I like to use 貴様 (きさま). If you want to be extra polite, extend the ま, like ”きさまっーーー!”

きゃあああ!

I don't care about any of that. I'd much rather enjoy a game in my native language that might have a few things inevitably lost in translation than try to bother understanding the nuances of a foreign language work written for people who had been speaking the language their whole lives. Beyond merely just understanding, it'd take a completely absurd amount of work for me to make the two equivalent.

The verb endings are what's killing me currently. I see some cluster of hiragana after a kanji and generally have no idea what' it's doing to it, or if there's some other things in there. I honestly find it harder to read than kanji, as it seems impossible sometimes to pick a large string of hiragana apart into meaningful parts.

If I knew how to read japanese I'd probably become even worse human trash and spend all my time jacking off to doujins. Thankfully I am too lazy and incompetent to learn diligently.

Machine translation is starting to get so good these days you can surprisingly understand a lot with a texthooker. I remember playing a fangame recently and was able to understand most of the story with a text hooker + Google translate and Microsoft translator. Any puzzles I couldn't solve I just looked at playthrough videos to find the solution.

And the translation seems to be getting better. I'm able to even read a lot of fetish stories on the novel section in pixiv fine (japanese write some truly sick stuff).

Because I’ve been busy and haven’t had time to learn. I plan on starting eventually though. Then i’ll be able to at least know enough to be able to enjoy shit like say Love Live Niconamas without subtitles.

There's no real point in a radical-first approach because you learn them all anyway when learning kanji, and you learn kanji the best by learning vocabulary.

First of all use some sort of app (something like Duolingo) to learn Japanese.
Second of all, be polite as thats what Japanese people prefer you to be. Also make certain that if your enjoying the food, chew loudly....I know that sounds really fucking weird but its literally how japanese people show they are enjoying food.

I'm sure you're right, I'm sure there absolutely isn't any value to 2 of the 3 languages you know. The same can't really be said about nip, though.

Learning both of those is easier than you think. Just read how to design programs and the djt guide.

>あんた

A definite "no" on that one, it's used for people you're really close with. It's best to only imply the stranger (the language is such that you can do that easily without using "you"), but if you really have to address, then use "anata".

Then keep getting good. Until you can read all of it and understand all of it.
Then go and socialize in some obscure hobby discord channels or something, until you're not the gaijin who talks funny anymore. That's when you've gotten slightly good enough, but keep going at it until you can read old poetry and dwell in the true artistic works, both those with cultural relevance and those that time forgot, and write entire essays on them. That's when you're at least kind of good enough but you should keep trying harder.

>>It is a fact that you cannot learn a language without speaking with native speakers.

You don't. Just fucking look at the person and begin with your object if you don't know their name. There's not a single sentence you could come up with that requires you to use the word you in Japanese. If you're talking about things that absolutely require the subject to be addressed you should already know the name of the person you're talking to and in that case you use that. It sounds awkward if you're trying to speak Japanese through your an English translation in your brain but for actual Japanese conversation rules you just use names.

You know nothing about it. I've yet to see anyone in this thread that can actually write Japanese properly.

o.O

Then you won't learn it. Even people who grow up speaking one language will forget a lot of it if they don't use it often.
If you are just consuming information and not interacting with it then you will forget it.
Consume all of the theory you want, you will never be competent if you don't use and interact with the language and culture of said language.

That's because most people don't give a shit about writing, we only want to read and listen.

Oh shit, I downloaded this a few days ago and forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder, user

It's absolutely true. Language is a tool for communicating with others. People who spend their time talking to others will learn a language much faster than people who don't, if the people who don't learn at all.

Talk with native speakers and ignore the weebs in this thread. None of them actually know Japanese other than memorizing basic phrases and grammar, but never interact with Japanese speakers.
Interacting is key, I would say at least 60% or more. Then other times you can consume media, read books, and do your apps as a supplement. Especially once you get to the point where you can read books without stopping every other word.
But interacting native speakers is key.

I've already learnt it. I use it practically every day.

Keep up the delusion, though.

Your next line is "aren't foreign IPs banned on 5ch" and the answer is "not if you have a pass". So what's your excuse?

Obviously, the more you're exposed to Japanese, the easier it is to learn it. Anyone that moves to Japan can learn Japanese x3 as fast as someone in another country.

Beyond that, be careful about taking advice from reddit. They're kind of retarded.

And I 100% believe actually experiencing natural Japanese in Japanese works is far better for that then slamming your head against Anki for an hour a day. With Anki you're never getting context. You might be able to grind a word into your head but it's always better to associate memories, stories and experiences with learning. Hearing and reading a character in a narrative you're invested in constantly talk about meeting up at the 図書館 is going to ingrain that into your brain better than just going TOSHOKAN - LIBRARY - 図書館 - LIBRARY.

truly amazing how bad this thread is sasuga Yea Forums, also fuck you janny.

>It is a fact that you cannot learn a language without speaking with native speakers.
but it's fine if i communicate with natives over the internet for example, right? i don't actually have to go over there and talk to them in person, right? i didn't fly all the way to the UK or US to talk to english speakers and i think my english turned out fine

>paying to shitpost
What the fuck is wrong with you?

are you ok retard?

Depends how many hours per day you put into it.
Now media can help/assist, but anyone who says they learned Japanese by watching anime or listening to vocaloids is lying.
Just start by reading simple "learning" books or watching videos just to get the basics of pronunciation and basic grammar. Then as you get better find people to communicate with. As you improve just use both methods of communicating with people and reading, listening, or consuming other media in that language.
A lot of depends on what you native language is and ease of access to speakers of the language you are learning.
If all else fails just try to join international chat/social media sites. Years ago I used Interpals, not sure if it still exists.
But ideally you want to SPEAK with people, not writing so much. That will come once you get a better grasp on the language, especially if it's Japanese since the writing is Hell.

fuck off

Because we didn't conquer half the world and establish english as the lingua franca just so we can't learn their language. THEY SHOULD LEARN ENGLISH

That's fucking disgusting. Truly a savage and uncultured people.

I never said which languages I speak. But I have successfully learned two languages and working on more as we speak.
So yeah. I would say I am qualified to know that watching anime and jerking off to visual novels is not enough to learn Japanese or any other language.

Less time than you think, if you move to a bigger metro area it'll be even easier. You'll also learn a LOT faster once you're there. Even basic shit like being constantly presented with signs and listening to directions does a lot for your comprehension. I spent about a month living in Japan for a study abroad program and learned more from just living there and talking to people than I did at any other time.

>Va11-HallA devs moved to Japan
i didn't know that, good for them
imagine going from venezuela to japan lmao

I'm trying to learn.
Sup jozin.

>THEY SHOULD LEARN ENGLISH
They are, they just speak it terribly

>>Va11-HallA devs moved to Japan
>Toby Fox moved to Japan
They didn't. They go on trips but they don't even know japanese.
The Valhalla devs can barely speak english in the first place, don't let your perception on reality cloud by small, context-less snippets of entire lives in social media.
Moot did make it, though. But living in Japan without previous proven success is only hell.

Does the high amount of well-known weeaboo retards define your home?

Did you talk to randoms or clerks/staff of various workforces. isn't it difficult to strike up a coversation with random japs?

Being exposed to it is boneless studying. There is absolutely no point in just being exposed to the language if you are not going to gradually use it at the ssme time to move forward.

The first denpa game would be shizuku.
For time loop stuff like it, pandora no yume.

I also plan on moving to Japan. Not due to Vidya or Weebshit but more because I’ve always had an interest in Japan and its culture. Plus considering how things are going in America....probably the better place to be.

ignore him, he has brain damage
my jp conversational skills were at the same level as those of a native speaker when I first visited japan and I had never even bothered to practice before

t. lying weeb

None of those
If you must use a pronoun, お前 is probably your best bet
But if you can avoid it, do so

Studying abroad means taking classes so I interacted a lot with other students. I had lunch regularly with Japanese students, went out for dinner, drinks, and karaoke, etc. There's a lot of natural opportunities to talk to others without hassling clerks unless you need directions.

Funny I see a thread like this considering I literally just finished a game in JP some 5 minutes ago. I remember when I was still counting but it's been so many now I legit don't know which number is this.

Yeah. Last time I posted a few anons pointed out how fucking awful Japans work schedule is and how “not everything is like Akihabara”. I know this shit, and even if Japans work schedule is hell, I’m going to things work. Who knows maybe I won’t even have an office job, maybe I’ll make Indies or some shit.

That website sucks and for everyone's sake I recommend not using it if you want to improve your Japanese.

what game?
Looks spooky

Because there is no reason to. I am in Japan now and everything is in English and most people can speak passable English.

Literally no foreigner ever had a successful life in Japan. They all remain white pig losers for the rest of the lives. Join the ranks

Same. It seems like the West is self-destructing. Mass 3rd-world importation, crimes increasing, everyone fighting over benign political bullshit like gender and pronouns, etc etc etc.

Generally, omit any reference of "you" if you can.
>ラーメンが好きですか?
>(Do you) like ramen?
If you know the person and need to clearly indicate that you're talking about them, use their name in place of "you".
>はい、ラーメンが好き!できないちゃんは?
>Yes, I like ramen! Do you (Dekinai-chan)?
If you don't know their name, but can figure out their title or position, use that.
>あの、すみません店員さん!
>Um, excuse me staff member!
If all else fails, use お兄さん, お姉さん, おばあさん, おじいさん, etc.
>この車、お兄さんのですか?
>Is this car yours, sir?

Yeah, what I meant was pay a stranger to do it.

It's a meme

I'm down a Japanese play through of OoT right now.

it's fucking hard. The only reason I've gotten as far as I have is because I've played it so many times before.

t. "I would have passed N1 if I had speaking practice partners :'(" brainlet

What to use then?

This is the kind of poster I imagine every time I see someone use "I lived in Japan for x years" to appear as some kind of authority.

It really isn't hardcore at all.

i dunno, what he says kind of makes sense
hanging out in forums for many years did actually help me improve my english and you are using the language when talking to natives
i'm just curious about whether or not it matters if i talk to people in real life or with a keyboard

Look up "Human Japanese"
Good program for beginners. They have a free trial to see if you like it. You learn some basic writing, grammar, pronunciation, and some cultural context as well.

Since this is Yea Forums, name successful foreigners in japanese vidya. Not random employees, higher ups who were promoted ahead of their nip colleagues in a nip company. That just doesn't happen.

Yeah it really is. More of an incentive to move elsewhere. Not gonna be easy but I’m going to do my best to make it work. Hoping to be in Japan in at least the next decade or so. Most of that time is gonna be spent learning Japanese and ya know actually preparing to get visas and shit for permanent residency.
