Can you learn Japanese without learning to read it?

Badly Ms Hakurei.
My motivation is gone, I'm depressed and stressed due to external factors and havent studied in 2 weeks.
Fuck Japanese.

>>15903184
Haven't started yet, I did learn some Chinese though.

I got through 1000 cards in the core 2k/6k anki deck. There are so many bloody words and kanji to learn though.

>>15903332

Going strait for the root of the moonrunes. Woah what a badass.

>>15903184
Slowing down. I've recently noticed the beauty of German, and have been diving into that! Das ist geil!

Better than ever. I figured that if I can remember and keep track of hundreds of idols down to current haircut and recent meals, moonrunes can't be too hard.

It's so defeating. I've been studying for 2-3 hours a day every day and I still can't get through most sentences without having to dictionary like every other word.

>>15903466
If you really want to die inside watch Japanese youtube. Then you can see children who are miles ahead of you.

If I knew it was this bad I wouldnt have started learning.

>>15903466
i was like that with spanish. then one day i just started reading, and understood almost everything.

you are at a great point bro. you've almost reached the hump. I am very proud of you, as we all are, even if we refuse to admit it.

Good job!

I started at the beginning of this month. I'm just going through 2k right now and have gone through Tae Kim's grammar guide about twice now. I suppose I should just start reading simple works soon to get used to recognizing grammar on my own but not sure if it's too early.

>>15903477
There's no hump. It's like Sisyphus' hill.

>>15903307
Google Translate.

Taking it real easy.

>>15903466
>2-3 hours a day every day
For how long, though? A year? Two?

>>15903520
I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Doing well in remember the Hiragana. Only need to remember the R's and W's. I know the dietrical marks, and the combined hiragana.

awful, i havent studied in days.

Don't learn by the classical way.

Learn by playing videogames and have a dictionary at hand.

>too old to learn.
No scientific evidence this is a thing

Anecdotal evidence: I started at 22 after failing to learn Irish from 5-18.
My dad learned Irish at 60.

>>15903184
I learned hiraga, some words, some grammas.
I am in my first japanese classs 101 and I doing okay I also got a cute girl.

>>15910662
>learning Irish
What a waste of time, it's more dead than Welsh, and Welsh is useless, I'm Welsh and I see no reason to learn it unless I want to impress fat English girls who always want to know if you speak Welsh. I wish English people stopped asking.

>>15912694
Its compulsory in school though. Its nice for people into history or mythology. Which is arguably a less pointless reason for learning a language than for obscure black and white pornography and untranslated wish fulfillment novels like Japanese

Today is the day Jay! I'm borrowing Genki from the library!

>>15903184
It doesn't

>>15917745
Fuck I forgot.

オーケーでちゅ。I can't really read kanji though. What's the best way to look up what a kanji means if you don't have something like Rikaisama to tell you? Looking at the radicals? Guessing the stroke number?

>>15918751
Do you have a phone? Take a picture of it with ocr manga app or google translate app works sometimes

Stopped trying years ago.

>>15918751
I write it in google translate's drawing input and then put that kanji into jisho.org for the readings and general meaning.

dropping out of school and getting a tutor (´･ω･`)

Wasted 2 years of my life practicing. Haven't studied in about 3 years.

Part of the reason I started was to read visual novels because the ones i wanted translated were taking too long, I was expecting to be an english teacher in japan and then work my way up to a waifu but then I hit a wall and felt like a retard trying to watch japanese daytime tv to get better at being a filthy gaijin

Same but really really easy.
More liek this anon >>15910653

Next year, I'll get serious.

>I was expecting to be an english teacher in japan

Really well. I recommend taking an actual class somewhere if you can, having a native speaker work through it with you really helps. I'm taking it in college currently and I'm finding it much easier than when I was trying to learn by myself.
If you don't have the time or resources though, I seriously reccomend Genki. It's a great text/work book

Is there a good app to start? Might as well make something out of all those hours spent in transports

>>15903184
もうペラペラっすよ！最高っす！うっす！

>>15925081
Do you like being in a class full of smelly dumb weeaboo scum?

>>15925081
I'm also taking a class at (one of) my local community college(s). Managed to get through Hiragana in just 2 weeks, and currently doing a variety of vocabulary with Katakana on the side.

A good teacher will help you speed through learning the language, provided you properly study, etc.

>>15927162
Curiously my own class is something like 3/4 Asian. Must be a greater SF bay demographics thing

>>15927384
My japanese class was full of loud, obnoxious weeaboos who never shut up. I learned my kana and never went back. Maybe it's an East/West coast difference.

>>15927384
Hiragana in 2 Weeks is too slow anon. Just go to DJT in /a/, read the guide and avoid the shitposting.

>>15927162
Don't let that shit fucking stop you. I graduated from my university with a degree in Japanese (which we won't really talk about how not particularly useful that is) and the weebs mostly only last through the first year. After that it starts to clear up immensely because they seem to think that's all they need to know and go off to study their anime on their own time.

I'm at over 10 years of study now, translate for a living and for my own amusement. Honestly I don't remember not being able to speak it at this point. I mean I know I couldn't before college, but it's just a part of me now.

>>15927162
My class really isn't terrible. Like the other op said, it's 75% international students taking it because they thought it would be an easy credit (spoiler alert, it isn't). There's maybe 5-8 people in the whole class who actually care enough to put in the effort, and from the looks of it they're all weebs, myself included. However, this is a first year class so we'll see how it goes.
My teacher is amazingly patient for how retarded some of my classmates are. I can't wait to take her higher level classes

>>15927420
They also probably learned more japanese than you did. So who exactly lost in that situation?

>search 語彙 on ankiapp website
>card responses are in German or Russian

Damn it, I know the next thing I need to do is drop studying with cards that have English as the responses, and move on to full Japanese for questions and answers, but after searching 語彙 and 文法 I'm not finding a lot of anything useful there. Aren't there apps which the natives use to build vocab?
