/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It's a solid way to practice if you're going to learn the mechanics and characters from a book or study program.

Alone it's a horrible way to learn, but it can supplement normal study greatly.

im trying a mix of active studying and immersion that involves listening to lots of japanese music, watching japanese tv, playing japanese games, and a fuck ton of kanji flash cards.

It's terrible

GET. THE. FUCK. OUT. CROSSBOARDER!

I'd say that's a good way to go if you're actively listening and engaging yourself in it by translating and thinking about the words with the music and tv. I won't help if you let it go in one ear and out the other.

The games and flashcards are just a good idea hands down.

N-No bullying please...

You're not going to learn any language without actually using it, so I don't really see a point to this question.

>>10440582
I think you're a lazy fuck and you will never know Japanese.

>devoting 3 hours a day to flashcards
>listening to japanese for a solid 8 hours each day
>putting kanji posters all over my room

Am i lazy? fuck yes I am.

I'm learning Japanese by translating English text to Japanese.

It's like playing VNs through AGTH and Rikaichan, but I learn less and ten times as slow.

Why do you do it then?

>>10440730
I started doing it this way and I don't want to change my methods because I'm super stubborn. Doing it this way gives me a perverse sense of pride.

I also read the dictionary sometimes.

>>10440697
get a load of this ultranerd from /v/

>>10440735
Your pride sounds stupid.

Also: Why is everyone on /jp/ always saging?

>>10440749
you look smarter if you add sage to your post

>>10440749
Because this is the only board that uses sage properly. You should sage your own posts or go back to whatever board that uses sage as a downvote you came from.

>>10440749
We are all sages.

>>10440749
It's a form of downvoting

>>10440757
>not using sage as a form of downvote like moot intended

why the fuck do you use it then?

>>10440749
>Your pride sounds stupid.
Indisputably true.

>Also: Why is everyone on /jp/ always saging?
A perverse form of pride. See above.

>>10440770
To avoid bothering people on the first page.

>>10440776
You don't actually believe this

>>10440788
I do. In fact, I also hide my sage to avoid offending people.

If you're not from /jp/, please leave.

>>10440793
>if you're not from /jp/

didn't all of /jp/ come from /a/?

>>10440791
same here, would rather not have the retards who view it as an insult derail a thread just to talk about it.

>>10440749

to avoid derailing shit like this

>>10440776
Because of that I DON'T use sage, because I usually want the threads I post in to continue living

>>10440812
but it takes like 2 days without posts for a thread to fall off /jp/

>>10440749
fucking crossboarder, get the fuck out.

>>10440823
I know, but I have the feel that older threads are forgotten

What does /jp/ think of learning Japanese to talk to japanese little girls through the internet?

>>10441087
Can't you just talk to western little girls? You shouldn't do it either way.

>>10441089
But japanese little girls are cuter.

>>10441093
Before they develop secondary sex characteristics, all girls are cute.

>>10441072
We live in a very throw away culture. It's even spread to /jp/. Sad, really.

>>10441097
Wrong. Children are filthy and disgusting.

When I started learning Japanese, I was actually able to dive right into it because I'd already been exposed to the language so much. Can't say the same for any other languages I've tried to learn. So, I'd imagine it does help at least a little.
