You can't learn Japanese.

>>11456302
It's easy, you just need to be motivated.

don't miss class ever

if you get language partners, try and get a guy close to your age. if you get a girl you will just spend your time thinking about lewd shit instead of what particle goes where.

also >>11456325

Kanji are a bitch, pick up a handbook to study them from.

I have "A Guide to READING & WRITING JAPANESE (REVISED EDITION) ISBN 0-8048-0226-2"

>>11456307
that's that dantalian show isn't it
>>11456292
That's nice. Good luck with it (don't spend too much money, the credit's probably useless and you can get tons of software courses and tools for free)

Also they went and changed the /int/ learn-a-language sticky all around for no good reason, but it still links resources and shit.
>>>/int/13531746

>>11456390
So I went on and checked the Japanese section on their wiki...

...why is /int/ so shit?

I'm trying to learn German and I'm using Krautchan pretty heavily. I hope I don't become their version of meme spouting retard.

>>11456672

Krautchan is full of weird German and meme sputing retards. Not recommendable to learn anything.

>>11456686
What he said. You will probably want to go to a regular board that matches your interest (unless the board is about anime, which will, again, be populated with retards). Germans are grammar nazis and extremely value "correct" writing online, so you can be pretty certain that you will not pick up wrong phrases and such.

>>11456705
I know I'm probably going to end up with a deep vocabulary in those areas and a superficial one otherwise but I suppose I can always round myself out later.

Go to class, don't skip.
Write every Kanji 100 times everday.
Learn every Kanji individually with every reading possible.
Don't learn from games/Anime/Manga/anything else you enjoy.
And don't forget to take the JLPT when you're ready, which should be in ~8 years, for only 50 bucks!

がんばってくださいね！(Please do your best! ;))

>>11456292
We are all one!

>>11456754

You are a big meanie.

>>11456754
>~8 years

why does anyone bother if it takes so long? at least the test is cheap

>>11457379

He's fucking lying.

>>11456754
I write every 100 times a day and I also learn from anime/manga/anything else I enjoy, anon.

>>11457391
how are you getting alone?

>>11457396
along, rather

University Japanese courses are slow and easy. It's a good intro but don't really worry too much about it. I'd imagine a community college would be even slower and easier.

Classes are mostly a waste of time. If you study kanji and vocab on your own, as well as reading practice with manga or eroge or whatever, you'll learn a thousand times faster. Then just use the classes to practice speaking to people (which is really the only reason to bother with them at all).

>>11457409
depends on the community college and what people are actually driving at doing with the course. I've attended courses (a while ago, but hey, I assume the situation hasn't changed much) at a local post-secondary place, and they really weren't just goofing around. They were genuinely there to learn and teach (engineering not math, what the course was supposedly about, mind you, but they were dead serious.)

Someone use their moonrunes to translate this for me.

(in during the pleasure of being cummed inside)

>>11457385
He's not

>>11457379

Because it's rewarding?

Most people hit full weeb around 12/13, start Japanese when you're 14, and you're good to go by 22. That's not that bad at all.

Considering most people take nothing from high school, and then graduate college/uni around 22/23, what would you rather have? Full fluency in the moons, or a piece of paper that says you're qualified but have zero job experience?

>>11457385
>>11457467

There's a big difference from being able to speak casually to nips/ordering food in a restaurant and being able to pick up roughly any book/video game in the moon runes and be able to read it easily.

>>11456754
>8 years for JLPT
You can get to to N2 level comfortably within a year and N1 within a half year to another year max.

>>11457442
I did the first two years of my engineering degree at a community college, and the classes weren't any easier than the ones at the university I transferred to. And frankly the teachers at the community college were better since they weren't preoccupied with research projects and getting tenure.

>>11457473
6 months to N1 if you do drugs

>>11457478
Math is math however you look at it. Arts are always easier at community colleges.

>>11457483
Have you had that kind of success?

I'm waiting on an order.

>>11457483
I can't afford drugs unfortunately, as much as I'd like to constantly be on speed.

Damn. Thanks.

Guess I got a bad cart.

I was obviously being sarcastic, but /jp/ seems to be in a bad shape currently.

>I write every 100 times a day
Are you serious?
I haven't written a single Kanji in my entire life and play tons of JRPGs in Japanese since maybe a year after I started studying seriously, which was ~3 years ago.
There is also not a single person on this planet who knows that I can understand Japanese, you'll be a lot more efficient learning alone and at your own pace.

Seriously, don't listen to the Japanese learners on Youtube, they're full of shit and just want you to go through the same pain they've gone through. Never ever memorize Kanji through repetitive writing, it kills your motivation very, very fast and if it doesn't, it will literally take you 8 years.

I am going to Japan for a year of study next year. I am in the same boat as OP. I am expecting to have hiragana nailed down by the end of next week depending on how much study I can do in my week in stockholm.

Tomorrow I will make osushi and read a Japanese childrensbook in Hiragana.

>Never ever memorize Kanji through repetitive writing

This. When it comes to memorizing Kanji, learn advanced memory techniques and use them for the Kanjis. Simply drilling Kanji is why it takes the Japanese so long to learn them all and why they still forget them after that.
