It's pretty good too, nice little dictionary for stuff and the dialogue covers topics not common in most SOL games so its good practice in addition to being interesting. I'm glad someone posted about it all that time ago, woulda overlooked it. If only Last Cavalier wasn't so immensely difficult.

Has anyone ever checked out http://www.thespectrum.net/features/mangajin/ ?
It seems like an alright resource from what little I've read of it, but the romaji is a real turn off.

What's it like difficulty-wise?

>>139341320
Not easy; consistently long sentence length, wide range of subject matter and thus high vocabulary level, author likes to use kanji for words like 総て, etc. Not something someone who knows Japanese will struggle with though if that makes sense.

>>139341313
You having seen a kanji has no relevance to its rarity.

To be fair, I learned a second language, electrical engineering, programming, and tons of other shit from the internet.

Don't trust everything you read on the internet, but if you're not fucking retarded, you can learn whatever the fuck you want.

It's not like books are necessarily more reliable. Remember, they were written by people too. People write about shit that's not correct. Take the entire Genki textbook series for example.

dude you're done

>>139346468
Don't take KanjiDamage's word as law, that's a given for any learning source. It gives good exposure, and mnemonics, even if they are cringy and not 100% correct all of the time.

Having a basic understanding in layman's terms is better than having no understanding at all. When I was a child, I didn't know what masturbation was, so I asked my friend, who told me that it was using your hand to practice for sex. Obviously that's not a 100% accurate meaning of the word, but you get the idea. This is what I thought it was for years. Now I'm almost 20 and am a fucking pro.

Dismissing something for inaccuracies is what separates the できるs from the できないs. Read everything and gain exposure. Decide for yourself what a words means.

There are people in djt right now who were underage in 2014

Alright DJT, you lot are probably the best people to ask this about.

My cousin has said they want to study Japanese at university, I'm suspecting it's due to them getting into anime. Is this going to fuck up their career prospects? Does going to university for a language suitably teach you it? Are they better off just learning it on their own?

My impression of these threads was that you are all selfteaching, but is university that bad idea and should I tell them to study something proper?

honestly you should go to school for whatever actually drives you. i dont want to assume things but a lot of people are half hearted about stuff and dont finish what they start so it could be a bad idea but who knows

college is about who you meet and opportunities you find not the classes you take

at least it should be if you want to get anywhere after graduating

then it depends where you live

Is he going to take a course on the side on major in the language? Majoring in Japanese can fuck him up real good so he better have some extra money for a second degree once he's done with that. Taking Jap on the side isn't that bad but he most likely won't learn shit.

I have no idea, all I heard on the family grapevine was that they were studying languages at uni and their choice was Japanese. I'll suggest they do a split course or some shit, they can work that out themselves.

>>139347296
in the UK uni language studies are not necessarily a dead end and can lead into linguistics, but somehow I doubt someone who's planning to study japanese itself at uni would be into that

I expect you're underestimating how distinct English dialects are. Keep in mind that most people can also speak standard japanese and will usually type in standard japanese online, similar to how you won't really experience weird English dialects on 4chan

>>139348030
I think it must be a thing for Countries that are small islands Britain and Ireland have regional dialects where people have difficulty understanding accents of people who live less than a hundred miles away from them

language knowledge is entirely esoteric and almost already useless - beyond B2B/customer service. Honestly learning another language is needs to be done alongside other tasks.

So, while I am reviewing RtK, should I try to remember every story I thought of, or if I remember the kanji instantly by just the keyword I should just flip it to verify?

I am at the first 50 right now, but the keyword instantly triggers the form of the kanji for me.

I'm mostly pointing out that most of the oddity when you write with accent pronunciation is because of orthography instead of big variations.

you need to separate those two things much further away from each other

yeah you have 好きな fine but 好きの is a different situation because 好き is a noun

Have you taken a university Japanese course? I've learned the basics of grammar and I know a few hundred kanji by now. I'm not going to major in it, but I do want to learn. How helpful are those classes? I'm sure I could test out of the first class, but I'm really taking it so I can practice with the qt professor.

>>139353027
A few hundred kanji is not much.

>>139353067
I know. It's an introductory Japanese course. That's a few hundred more than I'm expected to know. What I want to know is how helpful university Japanese courses are in general. Obviously you won't reach fluency with those courses alone. I'm asking those who have taken classes what they think of said classes.

Most likely. I assume the only other people taking the class are anime faggots that only want to learn so they can watch shitty battle harems. I'm definitely not one of them. I've already read most of the textbook so it should be a free class. In any case, I'll just use the office hours to chat with sensei.

好きな and 好きの are not interchangeable.
好きな is a na-adjective while 好き in the latter is a noun + the particle の.
>Yが好きのX
This is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense.

Alright, I'm going to start some kind of new challenge for myself in order to get better at Japanese.

I'm going to (re)watch all the Pokémon episodes in order from the very beginning in Japanese with Japanese subtitles. Not sure if I'll be able to find them all but at the very least if I can get all the raws it'd be pretty neat. If subs aren't available then I won't be using any as even English subs would I think hurt my experiment and break the immersion I'm aiming for (I'm already watching anime with English subs every day anyway).

Anyone wanna join me? I'm low intermediate by the way.

i think im retarded

>>139355835
I think you're retarded too. If you're that slow, maybe try mnemonics somehow? Any time I see a kanji I know, I repeat the readings to myself. It sounds dumb, but it seems to be solidifying japanese words into my vocabulary well.

You have to build up methods to remember. I live in Japan, so I can hear the things I study in day to day life, and it clicks better. If you're in another country though, you have to immerse yourself in entertainment or it's just an uphill battle.

Tsuki is easy; Tsukino Usagi was Sailor Moon's full name (月野うさぎ）so a pun was that she was literally the moon's rabbit.

tsuki will be easier to remember once you learn it in other words, like 半月 (half a month), while using the same reading.

No, I personally think anime is shit. I'm an outlier in these threads and hate how exaggerated the voices are, and think people who speak like anime characters in real life are painfully obvious (and oblivious). DJT disagrees, but it's good listening practice regardless. I much prefer live action dramas and tokusatsu, if only for the practicality of adding actual body language. Either way, it just depends on what you'd enjoy most.

But you should do a little of anything and everything. Try reading a few pages of raw manga, see if you recognize anything. Watch a minute of raw anime with japanese subs and see what you recognize. Listen to karaoke on youtube and try to keep up with the furigana readings. Check out NHK news, or talk to a penpal. Study textbooks on top of Anki. There are a dozen ways, it's up to you.

>>139357206
Really depends on what you watch. The source material is typically manga for both drama and anime, so eh. Don't discredit the importance of body language in language though - talking on the phone is nearly impossible for me, but I can manage my way through any conversation for day to day life without a hint of anxiety.

The only definitions that you have to care about are definitions for actual words, so don't stress. They are used in Kanji Damage more to help you remember the kanji than anything else.

>>139357748
Eh, modern tokusatsu is for children and housewives - that's why pretty boys are groomed as upcoming idols for mature dramas after. You'll often hear those same actors as VA's or see them on variety shows.

The fact that they're legacy characters (or rather, franchises) means a lot to Japan, where you're as likely to see an airing of a 40 year old anime as you are anything modern on television. Plus shows like Rider and Ultraman used to be prime nighttime family entertainment for many in their late 20s/early 30s. I think you're overestimating how much it's scorned. Watching anime past junior high school is much more derided (though the Western internet idea of otaku derision is way over exaggerated).

I don't think DJT disagrees that many of those people exist. It just isn't something permanent, and it's not like you're gonna be stuck talking like an anime character even when you're N1 level. Who gives a shit if you embarrass yourself a couple times if you end up learning Japanese faster in the long run because of massive input.

More like that guy was getting annoyed over absolutely nothing out of random after half a year because he was looking for something else to whine about, so instead of getting what he wants, jokingly shilling the lasers becomes a meme ala scratching the doorknob.

You're barely shining the bitlaser here anon. Maybe if you tried one out, you'd see that it's an invaluable study tool part of any serious learners toolkit.

>あんたをちゃんと守れるやろかって
Is that やろかって some kind of accent?

>>139363545
nope

>>139360360
Fuck off with your pathetic meme you fucking jew.

>>139363545
守れる　やろう　か　って　(言った)

>>139363815
Shouldn't it be 守れて if it were that?

>>139363871
i dunno

>>139363871
It should be 守って やろう.

I talk to myself.
It is one of the ways my English was able to reach a point that for some reason normalfags often remark that I am "intelligent", despite being a fool who has make the same stupid mistakes for decades. It is one way of vocalising some of the things that build up in your head when you tend to spend time doing a lot of reading. It allows you to say things and have discussions with yourself in a spoken manner which isn't really possible unless you're talking to a group of hipsters at a bar who like to pretend they understand the world by rattling off buzzwords replete through their philosophy tutorial readings.

You can do the same with Japanese because just like with English, a good 99.99% of all spoken conversation you are ever going to have with people is the same mindless dribble people do just to stop themselves feeling as though they are doing something rude if a silence is able to find life between individuals.

You can also read aloud what you read and what you post online. It is a good opportunity to practice the movements and muscles involving in creating and maintaining a rhythm with speaking but with far less anxiety and without being limited to shit no one really wants or cares to talk about.

The best thing to ever happen to my ability to speak in English without being reduced to an anxiety mess of mumbling 100% of the time was by using similar techniques newsreaders use to practice their job. There are a few modern computer programs and mobile apps that do the same thing: showing text either scrolling or at intervals, forcing you to more or less build up a consistent pace at which you read out the text flashing in front of you.

Doing a google search for "android Teleprompter app" provides this as the first result, to give you an example what can be used to really get yourself speaking without anyone else around.

Obviously being a stronger reader helps.

The largest post you can make is 2000 characters, including space, which isn't really all that much. This isn't Twitter after all and we can have actual conversations.

What should I blog post about on lang8?

>>139364372
Do you need someone else to explain to you what you have done with your time?

>>139364280
well i read a little more of that mammoth sized post but not all of it cuz its really long

>mindless dribble
drivel not dribble i think is what you might want

>>139364397
I don't do anything though. I need something interesting to talk about

>>139364280
If you're going to use that many words at least type in moon so we can use it as practice

>>139364436
>but not all of it cuz its really long

ho boy, my dear fellow...!
>have discussions with yourself in a spoken manner which isn't really possible unless you're talking to a group of hipsters at a bar who like to pretend they understand the world by rattling off buzzwords replete through their philosophy tutorial readings.
that's just not true!
>mindless dribble people do just to stop themselves feeling as though they are doing something rude if a silence is able to find life between individuals.
come on, my guy, stuff's not so bad.
you're right though, good ways to practice. thinking about, vocalizing possible conversations. for myself, if i'm studying something new i catch myself thinking about how i would explain it to another person, and it helps me solidify that knowledge. people forget the practicality of this kind of simulation, and think instead that usage in a "real" situation is all that matters. but really that stuff goes on in your mind whether you do it consciously or not (in things natural enough to you at least) and it's quite important in learning and maintaining that knowledge, being prepared, all that.

>>139364483
You could have just left that at the greentext

>>139364566
you could have just left that at not hitting the post button dude

>>139364113
Hah, I started doing that in english too, a few years ago. It helped tremendously to reach fluency both in reading/writing and in conversational level.

Sadly my nip is still shit tier so I can barely put sentences together, but once that's solved I'll definetely talk to myself in the glorious nip speak.
