Why? Is it just a grammar class then?
>>34394704
My online ex girlfriend took Japanese in high school. She was a huge weeb. She said she lost interest
>>34394791
What does that have to do with what you just said? Who are you quoting?
I started learning japanese a few days ago. Now I want to find a way to have jap classes at uniand not be bullied for it
>>34394841
Not sure about you, but at my uni the Jap department is small and really nice. Plus its mainly chinks and normies

>>34394841
why would you want classes?
just read through tae kim or japanese the manga way and then read sex-as-fuck doujinshis with some anki on the side to drill vocabn you i encounter
>>34394558
>taking japanese
Why? so you can watch your gay cartoons without subtitles?
>>34394876

>>34394893
No, so I can study abroad over the summer and go to comiket. THEN read some gay cartoons
>>34394874
I'm going to be in a class full of weird/old people. I'm not concerned about them, rather, I'm concerned about my "friends".
>>34394876
I actually enjoy having classes that focus on languages. They force me to study and give me a focus. I'm enjoying japanese so far, it feels really rewarding to distinguish thehiraganain the middle of those moonrunes. It distracts me when I'm fapping and reading my doujins, but that's fine.
>>34394963
Just partner up with the quiet 6/10 girl and you'll be fine. Every Jap class has one
>>34394989
Haha yeah, partner with a g-girl, right...I'd spill spaghetti and I prefer to do all the drills by myself
>>34395022
PussyI'd be your partner
>>34395056
You sure? I'm the quiet guy who finishes the exercises 10 minutes before everyone else, then I use my phone while I wait. Or I give the answers to my group, if I was forced into one.

Not sure what kind of class you, have but in mine there's no real down time. My teacher is always engaging us in some way. Everyone's pretty good
>>34395148
What did he mean by this?
>>34395178
That's good, unfortunately most people here are bad at learning new languages, and I suspect they're only doing it for the certificate at the end.
>>34395281
Kinda weird to choose Japanese of all languages for an easy A class
>>34395322
I hope I'm wrong on this one, but this is exactly what happened in my French class. They weren't even trying, and it was making me get worse since I couldn't talk to any of them, or discuss the answers with them.
>>34395345
What school? originalblox
>>34395364
I don't live in the US nor in Europe, so I doubt you really want to know.
>>34394558
>>What level of experience?
2nd year
>>Why are you learning it?
Need 2 years of language for my program and I'm weeb trash, also I hate my major so I plan on getting my n1 and trying to find some easy government or translation job
>>Any study abroad stories?
my gpa's too low for that shit
>>Cringe Stories?
Not really, it's pretty obvious that everyone taking it is a weeb to some extent but everyone hides their powerlevel. The closest to any real cringe I've seen is someone referencing hentai, but I'm pretty sure everyone but me missed the reference (and I wasn't going to say anything) so we just kind of breezed over it
>>34394821
I have a son. He is very good with the internet and has a passion that he wishes to follow in this field
>>34395387
That explains it
>>34395408
>my gpa's too low for that shit
Most have a 2.5-2.75 cut-off, how low are we talking?
>>34395439
>Most have a 2.5-2.75 cut-off, how low are we talking
2.5ish, but every program my uni offers, except one has 3.0 minimum, and it's still a 2.75
>>34395439
That's pretty rude, every country is full of bad students.
>>34395555
What country then? bloxxorz
>>34395574
I live inBRAZIL, if you really want to know.
>>34395621
Are you really offended by someone assuming your school is shit while in Brazil
>>34395684
Yes, he didn't even know where I lived when he assumed that.
>>34395790
Never thought I would see this level of triggered on r9k. Brazil is literally a 3rd world country m8
I took 2 semesters but now I'm just going to a language exchange club and learning from my Japanese friends/Japanese girls I pick up off of tinder.
>>34395832
That doesn't mean the entire country is a shithole.
>>34395905
Just keep "learning" there, you'll be fluent in 5 years if you don't get shot first
>>34395944
Thanks, I can't study if I'm dead
>>34396081
Yup, have fun lel
I took conversational classes at a private language school years ago and they were great. Most of the teachers were Japanese grad students studying English, the classes were small and didn't have cringey weebs, etc. After that I worked closely with Japanese people for a while and learned a lot from them.
I'm working on an actual degree now and figured I'd retake Japanese for easy credit. Holy shit what a mistake. The professor was this ancient Nisei woman who hadn't been to Japan since like the '70s, and the Japanese she taught was this insanely archaic form where the men had to refer to ourselves as "watakushi" and stuff and the textbook was a reprint of one written in the 1950s. I dropped that shit so hard.
>>34396096
Thank you, I will! This is an original and sincere post.
>>34395905
>That doesn't mean the entire country is a shithole.
That's what 3rd world means
>>34396177
But that's not true, it's used for developing economies too.

>B-but my huehue shithole
Its okay anon
