/jp/ - Otaku Culture

You can know the basics in a year.
As with any language you start with the alphabet.

>>>/lang/
you'll never learn japanese - you seem pretty dense to me, better give up

It's feasible within a year and a half of hard study.

It will take years, on average, though.

give up now dweeb

>>11333764
You're pretty right.
Better give up.

/int/ had a sticky on how to learn a foreign language last time I was in there, check that out.

And yeah, people on this board know it and I assume it didn't take them all through university to learn it since when people graduate they quit using this place.

What's the most widely spoken/most popular form of Japanese reading?

>>11333780
Thanks.
I have already given up though.

>>11333780

>when people graduate they quit using this place

Not really.

>>11333781

What?

>>11333765
Is hard study 2 hours a day or would it be around 4?
I'm ok with 2-3 years of studying Japanese.
Anything more and I'd rather learn Spanish.

>>11333787
then delete your shitty thread you fucking quitter.

>>11333787
Well...hey whatever then.

Drink more pepsi products.

>>11333788
Sorry, I thought it would be like how you have castilian spanish and spanish relative to your region.

>>11333791

2 hours is a lot.

If you can maintain that, and be productive, then yes, that is certainly hard study, and you will make significant progress in a year. Even 1 hour a day is a lot.

4 hours is too much, for all but the most skilled learners. It will more likely cause burn out than anything else.

It is important to find a pace you can maintain. Spending hours being inefficient is far worse than spending a few minutes being very efficient.

>>11333781
I prefer reading with my dick in my left hand as it helps me concentrate. Sometimes I like to change up things however and read with my dick in the right.
I only do this if the text I'm reading contains many unconventional Kanji. I sometimes start stroking my dick with my right to improve my concentration and be able to better understand the text.

There's also hands free reading, but it requires quite a lot of practice and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone just starting out yet. Once you have a certain amount of skill at reading Japanese text you should ask Moogy or someone of equivalent knowledge about what to do with your dick while reading.

better post no images instead of this crossboarder-crap, if you want to let everyone know you're the OP, write "OP" in the name-field and do it properly

>>11333798
Well I sometimes spend an hour a day figure drawing and god it's boring but I do it anyway to become a better artist. I also lift weights for 2 hours every other day. I might end up dropping weight lifting since it's an expensive hobby in terms of diet. An hour a day of Japanese seems pretty easy and manageable.

>>11333791
So you are going into High School. Well let me tell you boy. Both Japanese and Spanish are a shit language along with French, German, Russian and any other language your school will most likely offer. If you really want to learn a language learn Latin. It will actually help you later in your life.

>>11333802

Japanese is standardised in writing.

There exist dialects, but they're for speech. If they do come up, it will likely be in dialogue, and won't require much additional study to understand, if it isn't obvious, anyway. Using dialectical speech for general writing is not common at all.

>>11333808

You can likely do it, then. I struggle to dedicate more than a few minutes to anything.

>>11333806
I don't care about what will help me later in life.
I can always learn Japanese and watch cartoons.

I'll probably watch anime for at least 10-20 more years.
20 might be an over-estimate but I will never stop what makes me happy.

Japanese learning goes in

>>>/lang/, the sticky over at >>>/int/ or >>>/a/'s Daily Japanese Threads

now fuck off dweeb

>>11333816
An hour goes by pretty fast when you're doing something. I'm not really sure, I can watch a boring 2 hour movie for the big pay-off at the end and never lose interest. I think it's different for everyone.

>>11333817
No you won't. This is a fact. If you actually think that you are going to watch some shitty cartoons for over 10 years then you should kill yourself. It is logical to learn Japanese if you read VNs, but you obviously don't read at all so it will not matter.

lol what a fucking weaboo

>>11333753
use the damn archive

>>11333829
I like dweeb, it's a lot nicer than faggot and more civilized.

>>11333852
I don't care for Japan outside of anime and manga.

I'm just being honest here, America does everything else 100x better.

>>11333833
Anon-kun!
What's a VN?
Is it short for a visual novel?
I wouldn't class reading those with reading a book.

>>11333753
The best way is to live in Japan.

>>11333944

This is biased - all countries have problems - but it may help you see through the propaganda you have been fed throughout your life.

Interactive Text Hooker + Translation Aggregator and start playing untranslated VNs.

Start with easy ones like Flyable Heart. I did Tsujidou-san after that, and wow what a jump in difficulty, but finished that too.

When I first did this it took several minutes to decipher each line, but then after a week my speed reading it doubled as I recognized the same characters that keep showing up. Doing this I have finished three VNs within a year and my reading speed is probably now 1/4th the speed of a fluent Japanese reader.

What's slowing me down is the release of good translated VNs which I want to read without missing anything, currently Grisaia is taking up my time.

>>11333806
wow, if you are not trolling then you are LITERALLY retarded

>mfw I talk to myself in Japanese

The archive will help.

>>11333988
I do this alot when playing games in Japanese to make sure I don't lose the hang of speaking it completely.

>Not finding a way around all of the things this guy just spewed
>Not knowing a way around the draft, and not being able to pay for health care

If America ever becomes Mexico I am gone to go learn Chinese in Australia but until than I am having fun living in the #1 COUNTRY IN THE WORLD USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

please leave sooner, you're the kind of useless fuck who riots for no damn good reason and trashes shit

>>11334083
You're the kind of asswipe that thinks he can read a person from a couple of posts.
Go fuck yourself I'm taking away your degree in arm chair psychology.

>>11334068

Congratulations on being born into moderate wealth.

>>11334090
oh hey as far as I know that was the first time you posted ITT, and the last since you're a different guy

you still suck doggie dick. I don't need to "prove" that, you've already demonstrated it.

>>11334068
>>Not finding a way around all of the things this guy just spewed

If you've found a way around complete economic collapse, then congratulations.

>>11333753
Is that picture from Akira????

>>11334152
You mean with the blue freakies? Nope, I think that's some nickelodeon’s ren&stimpy spinoff, but it warms my heart you thought to ask about Akira. First Japanimation I watched besides Voltron (which I didn't know was Japanese at the time)

>>11334169
>Is that picture from Akira?

>>11334169
>Japanimation

my jimmies are rustled in ways you cannot even begin to understand

>>11334185
lol nice one /v/ro i love the jimmies meme

>>11334169
Akira is the worst anime-movie i've ever watched, and i watched some naruto and bleach movies. I don't understand why people are recommending Akira. Probably because of the ,,cool´´ guro-scenes.

>>11334197
wats ur favorite anime dude? u must hav amazing taste to diss akira one of the most highly reated animations of all time.

>>11334194
