Despite what some japanophiles may try to tell you, the japanese do swear.

>he still uses translations
learn japanese. It's the best thing I've done and no longer am I constrained by translations.

In some cases it's because in Japanese you can speak in a very crude manner without explicitly swearing, and that can be really difficult to translate so it's a lot easier to show the crude language through excessive swearing seeing as it's kinda the same thing

I should seriously do this, but I work 12 hours shifts, and I do mean work. It's amazing given how lazy I am, so I can't expect my self to actually do something useful with my free time.

Does the word "mattaku" specifically refers to christ? I know Japanese used the word "hotoke" refers to buddha

I might unironically do this, to get rid of my Indo-European bias.

Just get doulingo or some other app and study on the way
>>
>>159211026
"Mattaku" is an expression of exasperation. You could translate it as "seriously?" or "come on!"; when it's translated as something like "Christ!" it's being done for emphasis and has nothing to do with anything religious.

To show that this is a BIG BOY manga and not shit for six year olds.

Doulingo doesn't have japanese as an option.

Go visit the daily japanese threads on /jp/ or /int/. It's the only thing I used to learn japanese. Once you learn moon then you can enjoy an unlimited number of untranslated visual novels and manga.

Use Tae Kim grammar guide and anki for vocabulary. Sadly the latter isn't available for iPhones for free.
