lol!

I don't hand out any information without getting compensated for it.

>>14086456
The results are actually fairly surprising.

>>14086543

You just handed out information without getting compensated for it.

>>14086456
liars: the poll

>>14086574
What makes you say that?

>>14086566
damn...

>conversation in japanese
most of these faggots are probably at konnichiwa level and just blowing hot air

>>14086688

can't argue with double dubs

I love all the people here who brag about their Japanese expertise who don't have anything like a JPLT score or formal education to back it up.
Being a text hooking extraordinaire does not make you conversationally fluent in japanese

>>14086897
To be honest, I have N1 certification but that says nothing about how well I can hold a conversation in Japanese. The JLPT is all about comprehension, not production.

>>14086897
I can read most, say, short stories in Japanese, but I've pretty much never spoken a word of Japanese to another human being.

I do sing along to Japanese songs by myself, but that doesn't really count.

>>14086688
sick dub-dubs anon

I'm trying to learn, but I don't know how.

Everytime I ask /jp/ - how do I learn Japanese? - they just laugh.

>>14087918
You should never ask /jp/ anything more serious than "which touhou has the smoothest armpit?"

Try the Japanese Thread on /int/ for links in the OP and general practice/help.

>Speaks Japanese
Bet you can't translate this one.

>>14088033
Everyone can tell you're just trying to trick us into translating that for you.

But since I'm nice, I'll give you a hint:

Who are you quoting?

KILL WHITEY!!

I have N2 plus Bachelor's in Japanese. Working on my Master's now, will be spending a year in Japan and plan on getting N1 there. I'll show you my fancy student card once I get it, if this thread is still alive.

Also note this >>14086919, JLPT only tests passive knowlege. Well, personally I believe being in Japan for a year will be a good way how to raise my active abilities too, so I feel covered.

And to be fully fair to people from /a/ or /jp/, most of them probably only study Japanese for the sake of reading VNs/LNs or something like that, so they don't really care about active knowledge. But I do share your distaste for people who use text hookers nonstop and act like they know Japanese. VNDB forums, Fuwa or Reddit is full of such "heroes". I firmly believe one should first learn Japanese well and only then start actively consuming its media.

Use Google Translate, friend. Also why do you play these weeb mobile games if you can't understand them.

>>14088065
I'm leaving for the airport in few hours. Add 12 hours to arrive in Japan, one day to settle it, maybe one day till I get officially accepted and get documents and cards from school.

A /jp/ thread might last that long.

>>14088061
Show us pictures of Japan, too.

.>>14088033
Oh no, you saw through me. I was quoting OP.
>>14088068
Thanks. I thought that I could use what limited kanji I know to decipher it so.

Truly an Americlap.

I wonder if all this time on the /jp/ would be better spent actually reading and listening to Japanese, and spending more time learning Japanese.

Hell, it's been nearly a year and I haven't even completed basic hiragana. I've literally - in the dictionary sense of the word - used 99% of the time I would have used to study Japanese shitposting on /jp/.

I'm even supposed to be working now of work that several rich women are paying me to do, but I even have no willingness to do that, even though I'm receiving lots of money. I just want to take it easy all day and shitpost on the jay about how I really, REALLY want to fuck star sexual.

I wonder what would happen to me if I stopped going on 4chan. Hell, I wonder if my life would be better if I stopped using the internet for leisure. Whenever I try to quit, I come back because I can't find anything to replace 4chan and feel uncomfortable outside of my timesink.

But it's just plain messed to know that /jp/ was the website that introduced me to Touhou, and yet I've had most of WaHH, FS, and most of the other printworks in my backlog since 2013 because I've been too comfortable in my shitposting rut to do anything else.

>>14088033
All I got is error and error code. Katakana is easy as fuck.

Why would I speak Japanese when I can read Japanese? I can't talk to eroge.

I speak kikongo

>>14089684
The real question is what you'll do with the Japanese once you've learned it. I pretty much only use my Japanese to listen to character songs and read Pixiv comics (with a dictionary on hand) because I don't actually care about eroge.

It really won't improve your shitposting life, though. The actual reason I learned Japanese is probably because /jp/ said I should, but even after you learn it, unless you want to spend all your time shitposting at people in VN or AKB general there's not that many people to talk about untranslated shit with you.

I had a lot of fun back in the day shitting around with Touhou secondaries but these days I feel like all I can find is primary autists and fetishists. If you ever actually feel like learning then it's not a bad idea or anything but it's not like the world will magically open up if you do (unless there's something you really want to read, and given that you spend all your time shitposting that's probably not the case).

Get a fucking job

>>14092072
once you learn japanese you can graduate to 2ch

>>14092131
I don't have a proxy for it and they all feel like strangers to me anyway.

>>14092131
If you know basic Japanese you're hot shit on 4chan, but on 2ch you're basically the equivalent of the most retarded Japanese person.

It's a real demotion, swapping internets.

>>14092072
If he likes shitposting, 2ch and futaba might be right up his alley.

>>14092247
For shitposting, being retarded is a boon.

>>14092072
I'll sexualize the fairies all I damn well please.

Does anyone here know Korean, any variant of Chinese, Vietnamese, or Mongol?

>>14093618
I am currently taking Introductory Mandarin in university. Half the class dropped in the first day because the teacher will only speak Mandarin in class. It really is necessary for native English speakers, as getting all the pronunciations and tones right is not nearly as inherent as Japanese tends to be.

I can read Japanese well enough with a dictionary, but I was self taught.

Fuck me and my lack of willpower.

>>14093680
What is this

>>14093680
Nice font. What I like is that I do twice the reps you do a day. Makes me feel quite good, actually.

>>14088082
Second this

>>14097086
Yeah, I can't even keep it up on default settings. And I already knew like half of them.

>>14088082
>>14097108
How nice.

To fulfill my promise, here's my student card. Well, the back of it, less censorship needed. You can see the words 学生証 clearly.

Also it seems it can be used as an Edy card. But I'll get more generally usable Pasmo card tomorrow.

>>14099348
It's not even the number of "conversationally fluent" people that surprises me - it's that so many people answered positively or have at least tried before.

>>14099601
What board do you think you're on? Hell, just learning the kana, which takes an hour or two, counts as trying to learn.

The idea that we have 16% of people too stupid to even do that, surprises me far more.

>>14099611
I honestly expected the vast majority of people to be in the '"I'll get around to it someday" and then never do' pool, considering this board is full of lazy-as-fuck NEETs who're prone to complain about the smallest thing.

>>14099611
If you never plan to learn the kanji, having the kana will only serve you very situationally.
