>>382305205
Japanese has different ways for males and females to speak. It's probable the dude in the picture learned how to speak Japanese from watching anime, and only by watching moeshit.

>professor(japanese guy)

I've literally never seen a male japanese professor outside of nippon. Only women and people that aren't actually japanese.

>>382305825

But Duolingo is bad for learning languages.

Japanese Duolingo is available on mobile right now, so if you want, you can get on it. Who knows when they'll put up the browser version though.

One Acquaintance of my sister sells fabrics she orders from Chine.
For example whn she ordered 1km of red fabrics from chinese factory the thing she recieved was something like 700m of red one, 200 of blue and 100 of green.
After being asked why would they send fabrics of other colors they say that you should have specified that you wanted only red one.
They basically send whatever they have at their storehouse and if that is not enough they just put something else to the shipping instead.

I hear it plenty here. And talking to an unknown person casually on the internet, its totally ok. If you're talking to a superior or you're at work and talking to a customer, for example, you are right. You would say something like to おきゃくさん if the person's name is not known.

>>382306575
That's mainly because as a whole, the Chinese value personal history over everything else. They'll pass up on a good deal if someone they know is selling the same thing for a higher price, and they consider business with people they don't know as "not for realsies", as in whether they are honest or not doesn't matter.

Plenty of people start out with a goal in mind, and then find more shit later on. Hell, I started learning just because there was a single artist putting out stuff my dick really liked, but couldn't read it, and it was too niche for anyone to translate it.

Having something as a goal makes you work a bit harder. I've certainly slowed down since I reached mine, something as nebulous as "I want to read EVERYTHING" won't keep you going long.

If it's not clear, anon's girlfriend is actually using the industry version of the term dub (recording voices after animation's been mostly finished, which happens with most anime) and not the version anime fans use (voice acting recorded in a different language to replace the original track). So she's saying that the Japanese acting is natural/human, not the English acting.

That's what I was getting at: that she was saying the acting in Japanese-dubbed anime (as in, pretty much everything that's not a movie) is overly-embellished in its writing and acting, to the point of barely resembling the Japanese used by actual Japanese people. When she mentioned Jojo, she was saying it is the best exception she's heard.

>>382309165

>When she mentioned Jojo, she was saying it is the best exception she's heard.
Your point was reasonable, if overly simplified, until here.

ALL Japanese acting is overly-embellished, it's a holdover from kabuki. Thinking that Jojo is an example of anything even SLIGHTLY, VAGUELY, close to natural Japanese is the mark of a complete fucking moron. The only shows that are less realistic are the ones for children that have funny characters that end every sentence in a verbal tic.

Your girlfriend is an absolute moron, and you should ditch her the first chance you get, because she knows nothing about Japanese. You should really know better than to trust a woman.

I really want you to film your first time in akiba, looking for chicks. I think the dawning realisation of what it is these days would be great to watch.

Then again, you might be too dumb to understand?

I'm a different anon who started by mentioning the difference in dubbing terminology. All I was doing was trying to restate the post so that it wouldn't get misconstrued any further.

You can mingle with the nips over in their boards and won't have to put up with the autists on this board.

We didn't have neural network shit years ago. This will develop FAST from now on. Try turning on automatic captions in Youtube. Notice how they're suddenly 90% correct now? They were complete garbage a year ago. The dawn of AI is here. Be ready my man, shit is about to go down

Yeah, if people haven't noticed already, AI is already starting to completely change technology and how industries develop. We may be years and years away from self-driving cars, but Google is almost a completely different beast compared to how it was just a few years ago, simply because it can integrate AI into so many of its services, including Google Translate. You'll still want people with an actual understanding of the language to do creative things like translation of literature and stories, but we're quickly reaching a point where Google Translate will be good enough in most situations.

It amazes me how these guys would never think of being teachers in their own countries (because it's such a shit job) but think that it's worth it for living in Japan, like living in Japan was drastically different from everywhere else other than in the people you interact with or the products you can buy.

I just fucking stopped and thought of learning Chinkaneese or German instead.

I like animu and vidya gaems but people just think you're learning nipnong to play vidya and watch your chinese cartoons without subtitles and it makes me feel fucking stupid. It's not like other languages where you can just pull it out on a party and impress a bunch of strangers, its a fucking social stigma at this point that I don't even know whether I should blame weebs for overhyping the language or myself for listening to other people's opinions.

Back when I actually had friends, I spent a full 2 years without any of them getting any indication I knew anything about Japan. It's really not hard to present the image of someone who just watches movies and plays games, when that's half of what you're doing anyway.

>>382311949
I mean you can just keep it as a secret if you want to learn Japanese? Does it also not work for some reason?

Never looked back. I don't like anime or manga or any of that shit, I just wanted to learn a language and it's given me loads of new experiences and friendships.

The weeb guy also came to the class but dropped out within the first few weeks. It clearly was not kawaii-uguu enough for him.

I highly recommend learning another language - any language, doesn't need to be Japanese. Lets you meet new people and experience new things.

>>382312019
Not that guy but you can randomly drop it in conversation or someone comes over for notes or a group thing and sees all of your learning materials. And one weeb would randomly make the connections inside its head and start talking to you in broken japanese.

Thanks to computers, you'll never need to write one in your life. 艦 is no harder to write than 缶.

As for them being too small, you get used to it over time. Like how you can probably read a 4 px font in English despite it being a blurry mess, just because you know what words look like.

Learning Japanese isn't respectable or a badge of honor.

It's a NEET language used to consume escapism and actually interact with other people LESS.

Plus the escapism is usually cartoon CP which isn't translated, everything good gets translated.

The fact that you mentioned "swindled" should already indicate that this is not a legit business practice and is line more nefarious ones like "a fucking scam"

? Why would you care that room is located then?

I'm not even salty, just feel sad for weebs who get judged. Neck yourself, English isn't even my first language and I feel like your reading comprehension isn't up to par with the rest of the world.

I have no speakers or headphones, what's going on in this vid? Is it just someone yelling the title? What's the context?

>everything good gets translated
Not really true for visual novels.

There might be translation projects, but half of them never even get close to finishing because its a shit ton of work that often takes years.

12 years ago I got N4, not take exams for N3 yet.
Got a job
Try used Japanese language
Every time got a lot complain about polite enough
Just say fuck it, I don't care

N4 is Ok for games and animes

I love this meme. It's probably my favorite one ever, because it stops retards like you from getting past the first hurdle.

Why even, anon?

When it comes to manga it's either translated or not even scanned. Not a lot of stuff is out there to pirate in japanese

>>382313427
I see
But when you are reading without furigana and find this mess (艦) looks painful because im sure that there are other kaji pretty similar to this one

>I'm not even salty
lol nah you're salty.

>Neck yourself

>I thought about scoping out akiba for women
have you ever been in akiba before? Take a trip to japan/tokyo once before you decide to move there

>>382313473
I meant mostly. Ideally, just excursions for releases, weeb fantasies, and food. I'm not afraid of people, I just don't like most of them

>>382313527
The only people who look at the time invested : reward for japanese and say "yes, this makes sense" are autistic shut in NEETs and weebs.

I learned an actually useful based language with 100x more applications that you can learn in a third the time : German.

Can you honestly say you've never been jewed out of any good and that you've swiftly learned you have no leverage in the situation without grievous personal expense?

Either you are very lucky or very rich.

it's alright doug, your shit-tier public school education is hampering your ability to understand what you're reading. I don't even know why you post on sites like this where most of the content is text written in a language you haven't fully mastered yet.

What's sad is that you think the bump in your salary is somehow worth that time investment.

You fell for the money meme. It's the most worthless commodity on Earth, because past an absolute base minimum that's completely trivial to obtain, it has zero value.

The only commodity with value on this planet is entertainment.

Anime are still divided up by seasons, cour is just a more specific term.

>1 cour season
>2 cour season
Etc
