If you study 8 hours a day.

DO IT FAGGET

>1 year = 365 days.
You fucking liar

Please be a troll.

>>1068170
Maybe in China.

>>1068157

no, dammit, now stop posting these threads everyday

Very possible.

For you? Probably not. You'll never know until you try, though.

First learn English and see how long that takes you.

>>1068203
I speak english and german fluently.

>>1068169
8 hours of the day? When I learn a new language I usually memorize 20 words every day, that takes me an hour, including writing them down etc.etc

With Japanese I only have to learn stroke order and kanji, which should take a little more time, plus 20 words, so let's say 3 hours a day should suffice.

uh? yeah bring a dictionary and it'll be no problem

this is asked so often we might need a faq

>>1068261

I don't think you quite understand just how much depth the Japanese language has to it.

Anyways, if you're going to do it, don't plan on having a lot of free time.

Fuck you.

>>1068261

What the fuck? 20 words? You suck.
Don't go with rote memorization.
Go with 100 words.
You can get to lvl 3 in 3 months no sweat.
I don't know about the phonetics and shit for german though.

>>1068269

There are serveral ones.

Ignore the retards saging (which does nothing by the way)

if you study 3 hours a day you will be off to a godly start

>>1068287
20 words a day = a 7000++ vocabulary within a year.

That's pretty good if you ask me.

No sage for naruto? The fuck is wrong with you people?

>>1068296
That picture was done by someone on /a/ who was making fun of Naruto.

>>1068299

100 words a day = 36500 words in a year

It matter not how many days you study but how many hours and how efficient your learning is.

>>1068296
Why would I sage for one Naruto picture?

>>1068386
It's very hard to remember a 100 words each day for longer periods of time.

>>1068296
Why would you post in a thread only to announce that you weren't bumping it?

This isn't /b/ or /a/, you know.

>>1068157
If you're living outside of Japan, I'd say it would be nearly impossible.

But I suppose not entirely impossible, if you don't do anything else, and are extremely diligent.
However, I've been learning Japanese for maybe a little over 4 years now and still doubt I can get through light novels without heavy dictionary usage.

>>1068419

Not at all. But if you like whining go with 50 or something, once you pass the 2000 vocab line anime is fairly easy to understand

>>1068433
tl;dr I'm a retard and only half-study what they give me in my japanese class at college.

You can live in the moon all you want but if you don't study you don't learn.

>>1068433
4 years? You must've been doing something wrong. Even Emily taught herself fluent Japanese in 3 years. She's now 19....

>>1068453

>Emiry
>fluent

>>1068453
>Emily

>>1068433
Even Japanese people can't read their novels without dictionary usage.

emiry makes me envious and ashamed of myself and my failures.

Studying Jap just for anime is the most pointless waste of time ever. Jesus Christ I wish I had that comic of the Jap dude that studies English just to watch Spongebob Squarepants.

>Studying Jap just for anime is the most pointless waste of time ever.

No it isn't. I bet you believe the only proper uses of time are working towards either money or sex.

There's nothing at all wrong with learning a language for entertainment purposes. If you really like telenovelas and want to learn Spanish to watch more of them, go for it.

>>1068476
He said LIGHT novels, and that's bullshit anyway.

>>1068502
I study it for jdrama, for manga, for anime, and for wanting to live there.

>>1068519
>If you really like telenovelas and want to learn Spanish to watch more of them

What the fuck? I'm a latinfag and that's just...just insane.

>>1068502
/r/ said pic

>>1068157
Get fluent? No..
Be able to follow drama/anime/manga? More than possible...if done right, it can be fairly easy.

I'm 11 months into study, and I'd say my progress is nothing less than godly. I am supremely impressed with what I have learned in such a short amount of time. I'm going to start picking up chinese soon too

>>1068533
>and for wanting to live there.

I'd understand if you said vacation, but live there? Ehhh...

OP is a faggot

but to be fair.. i learnt English to watch movies

>>1068616
Don't worry, learning English is one of the most useful things ever. Learning Japanese to watch cartoons, however, is pathetic.

>>1068533


JAPAN DOES NOT WANT YOU. I don't care if you've already been there on vacation, and everyone loved you. If you move there, they will kill you brutally. They like tourists. They give money to the government, and only stay for a little while. They hate immigrants, because no matter what you do, YOU'RE STILL WHITE. The Japanese are some of the most racist people on the planet. They tolerate black people because they're absolutely fascinated by the fact that they're not sitting in a dark corner of Africa hunting lions with pointy sticks.

Just because you watch anime does NOT mean you're integrating yourself into Japanese culture. It means you're a creepy little nerd that watches adult cartoons. Only a portion of the population even watches anime. Most of them watch everything else on Japanese TV, stuff you don't get because you're not Japanese.

Stop dreaming, you're better off ANYWHERE else in the world, except the middle east.

1 year = 365 days NO WAI!

>>1068642
I've never seen this one before.

>>1068642
OP here. I watch maybe 2-3 anime shows a year. So it's not like I'm learning it to watch anime. And besides why is it better to not know a language, than knowing it?

>>1068642 Stop dreaming, you're better off ANYWHERE else in the world

Are you kidding? S. Korea is even more racist than Japan. They're not as polite either, so he'd probably get spit on or yelled at.

it's VERY possible
However, this is far less a test of your capabilities as it is a test of diligence.
It's easy to say "study 3 hours a day", but there are few that actually have the patience to do so.

Live in Japan for a year, and you'll be functional at it.
