it's the only way to get really good in a short amount of time, which was khatz's goal since he moved to japan for a job shortly after his 18 month grind

matt on the other hand just did it because he was a brainless teen that wanted to become a japanese person to escape his two gay dads and lack of any other talent

>>24985671
opposite for me. i could never relate to khatz blogs but matt, man i tell you, matt is the japanese KING!

reading khatz's blog posts full of homophobic humor feels much more comfortable than watching matt's videos on why his way of doing things is objectively superior

weird to think that without khatz matt would probably be just another gaijin who knows japanese

mia is a subset of ajatt so anybody attacking preteding to learn through incomprehensible input is attacking both khatz and matt

>think retarded people have an easier time getting to a reasonable level speaking a language
nah the best speakers are all high iq just look at autists like matt and khatz

face it iq predicts success in cognitively demanding tasks at the population level there's no getting around it

>>24489698
how good are you compared to matt, yoga and khatz

is khatz tweeting again cuz he saw matt has $100 patreon tiers filled up with customers

>>23738277
khatz tells people not to study grammar and matt now peddles the same meme so he can sell his tango decks on patreon as a replacement for tae kim

>>23562865
>>23561277
It says for example, that Matt and Khatz used the lazy kanji method, the fuck is that?

>>23529945
It's Khatz's graphic. Matt probably copied it at some point.

>>23529934
why is this image matt’s level of autism but with khatz level of graphic design

>>23317778
Whose? Khatz, for one, was too busy selling sentence decks to discuss many of the things Matt covered on his channel.
As for the money, isn't it for developing the website and Anki extensions and skyping Matt? You know, stuff that takes time, energy and money regardless of whether or not any original ideas are involved.

does khatz like kyoani shows? i care about his opinion more than matt

>>23122912
The problem with AJATT/MIA isn't so much the method as the culture. They're both very dogmatic, cult-like communities.

Also doesn't help that Khatz was a literal scammer and Matt is clearly only in it for the $$$ as well since he's openly admitted to hating Japanese and finding Japanese media cringeworthy.

The core message of both methods of "read and listen a lot" is very much in line with what DJT says though.

>>23122994
AJATT is the better of the two since at least Khatz wasn't a complete autist with no understanding of what it means to have fun.

>>23041458
sad that khatz and matt made so many unwitting beginners mine and memorize all his example sentences

why are black people so good at learning japanese? first khatz then i find dozens of other blacks that are far better than matt..

>>22817072
matt and khatz need to step their advertising game up so we get some young and fresh retard vloggers to make fun of

>>22800839
isn't that funny? khatz, matt, and now quiz. all after reaching a high level in a short time following a certain path never recommend that path. it's almost like conspiracy anon is right >>22800298

then matt and yoga came in and slam dunked his ass khatz was always a slimy salesman and there's new boys in town who actually feel passion toward learning japanese to set this scammer piece of shit straight

>>22745413
well yea obviously matt and yoga are just better dudes. khatz is black though so it's not fair to hold him to the same standard.

for me it was similar.
in august 2018, i somehow found tae kim's guide, and signed up for japanese classes because i thought it'd be a lot easier to learn all those thousands of kanji in class than on my own.
after a few months, i realized that i wasn't really learning that much in class, in comparison to what i was learning through english-subbed anime, so i decided to keep on watching anime.
i tried different strategies, like watching unsubbed anime, making word-by-word translations of h-manga, and just studying the jouyou kanji list on wikipedia.
around february 2019, i decided to start reading raw manga, finish tae kim, and do core6k after seeing the djt guide's advice list.
i used kanjidamage alongside core6k for a while for the sake of using the former to reinforce the latter, but i ended up switching core6k for plain vocab mining after getting overwhelmed by core6k's politics/business-related terms i was rarely seeing in sol manga/vns.
11 months later, welll, i can at least read 柵 and祠.
there's been a few anime i've watched and vns i've read raw, most of which i greatly enjoyed, but if you ask the red-haired man, he'll say i just stared at some pictures and text and imagined stuff was going on
i never saw the appeal of sentence cards or traditional rtk, despite watching matt's videos and reading khatz's posts on them, because of how laborious they seem in return for how little one gains from them.

>>22649258
he dd learn from khatz after all
>>22649261
matt is like qm cuz he went hard and got burnt out without ever finishing a vn lmfao
old qm anyway qm finally finished a vn and his lifes been lookin up ever since its too bad matt never got that far
>>22649287
based

>>22649166
krashen did all the research on second language acquisition before matt was conceived.
antimoon popularized vocab/sentence cards and anti-textbookism back in the turn of the century.
khatz came up with a_atting, doing rtk right at the beginning, and the monolingual transition.
nuke popularized using shared decks as a supplement for "immersion", and promoted addons like subs2srs.
matt added gay pitch accent shit and meditation to his guide.
