I've been on unemployment since June.
I get $200 or so every two weeks.
I haven't had to report to anyone, all of my correspondance is done online

To Everyone IN THIS THREAD:


If you believe Kanji is hard, it will be hard.

If you believe Kanji is easy, it will be easy.

There is absolutely no objective basis for your claims of difficulty or easiness in learning kanji.

Asians have been learning kanji for thousands upon thousands of years.

What makes it normal for them, but "hard" for you? It's mindset. You're too busy whining about the differences between English alphabet and Japanese kanji that you're wasting time that would be better spent grinding the kanji.

How many hours of listening to Japanese audio have you put in this year? I recently broke past the 1400 hours mark, but that doesn't include a lot of stuff I listened to...it just includes what I remembered to write down.

How many Japanese things have you been doing? Do you try to read the text before Touhou boss fights? Do you read manga in native Japanese? Do you read Japanese newspapers? Do you play Japanese video games? Do you browse Japanese websites?

How much do you understand? How much can you figure out on your own without having to use any external resources? Do you go use a Japanese dictionary when you need to look up words you don't know?

Ask yourself these questions, then ask how good your Japanese is.

日本語でテレビとか音楽など聞くながら此の板を読む。
全く・・・「全部日本語で、何時も」と言うと「全部日本語で、何時も」す
る意味だよ！

Not "same universe", but "outer universe"

Touhou would then be contained inside of Nasuverse

That is right I said it. Those wishing to go to Gensokyou better get inside Nasuverse first

>>3722904

Theres a heirarchy

>Konata watches Haruhi, reads Keroro Gunso
>Lucky star is Haruhi and Keroro's outer universe

>Zetsubou Sensei rips on Lucky Star and idolm@ster
>Zetsubou is an outer universe of Lucky Star and idolm@ster

So, yeah, you're right, but I don't think you understand why

>>3708773

A lot of kanji appear in compound words with different readings than normal, so you don't have to know EVERY kanji 100% fluently to read a lot of stuff.

Just keep grinding AJATT and you'll catch up. Read and listen and watch and practice as much as possible.

Don't bitch about difficulty, otherwise you are GOING TO FAIL.

HAY HAY HAY

SMOKE KANJI EVERY DAY

got a jap version?
haruki's greatness is best felt in his native tongue

in about an hour

>>3691986

Japanese do this because they don't expect people to catch everything a gaijin says. When Japanese see gaijin, it must be confusing if they are expecting them to not know Japanese...BUT THEN THEY KNOW JAPANESE!!! MIND FUCK

So, they add subtitles, so that the real Japanese can feel better about not understanding a foreigner's Japanese

only the place im at all the time

people who want to learn japanese should definitely listen to japanese music

oh wait

I've been following an immersion system since January of 2009. Before that, I took 3 years of Japanese in college, and had been studying off and on for about 10 years.

All of my work up until the immersion system was really just prep-work. I didn't begin making gains until college, and I didn't begin making RIDICULOUS gains until the immersion system.

If you don't even know the basics, my advice isn't going to be very useful. But, at any rate, I suggest you do the following

1. Read this website
www.alljapaneseallthetime.com

If you're serious about Japanese (like I am), you should be able to get between 10 to 18 hours of "japanese" a day, whether it is actually studying, just listening to music, watching anime, reading manga, talking to friends, or playing video games.

Do this for about 2-3 years. やる気か？

pooping is only human

all forms of beauty man
everything is beautiful

>>3454827

Not true
This is a lie perpetuated by academics and japanese who wish all foreigners learn strictly "proper" japanese
Mix it up, but don't cut yourself off. Japanese people also watch anime, too, and their japanese is fine. In fact, it's better than yours and mine.

For the noobs

実は漢字の方がかなだけでよりもっと面白くて楽しむぜ
In reality, the kanji way is a lot more interesting/fun than just the kana

でも日本語学が全部始まりから始まる
But all japanese students start from the beginning

それからかなの方がいいのよ
So, it's ok to do kana

まったく、/jp/の荒らし気付かないでよ
I mean goddamn, don't pay attention to /jp/ trolls

This

Also, it's how they do it in the Japanese pokemon games. I kinda stole the idea from it.

I didn't make any gains until this year, 2009.

>And to everyone who ever says: "It was kinda hard, but I finally managed to learn katakana and hiragana!" Congratulations, you don't know shit. You just covered day one.


For real dude, they'll get a lot farther if they celebrate some minor accomplishments. Let them be happy, this shit is definitely not easy.
