i didnt look at the upload time and i gotta admit my faith is shook can you imagine nuke writing 日本語出来ない男 and chuckling to himself this isnt the world i wanted

>>20709518
No I'm not. I still spend too much time fucking around on reddit, even worse mainly in /r/politics and not even Japanese related stuff. Imagine where I'd be if I just watch and read Japanese an extra two or three hours a day instead of getting a chubby hearing that Roger Stone got arrested.

>>20709586
holy shit dude you're obsessed.

>>20709495
do whatever you think is more fun since that's a big determining factor of whether you stick to an srs routine or not. you can try reading this but idk how true it is https://www.supermemo.com/en/articles/20rules
ive done sentence cards and vocab cards in the past and found them both to work well in different ways

>>20709495
Honestly you don't need sentence cards if you're reading enough anyway because you'll see the words that actually matter in the wild enough to gain a true understanding of what they mean and how to use them.

hey guys is it ok to stop learning japanese to do retarded shit or should i keep learning japanese

Stop using grammar "rules" to make up Japanese phrases that no native in the history of Japan have ever uttered. Use the grammar "rules" to understand the phrases that every native in Japan have uttered.

>>20709736
he means youre translating your english thoughts into nihongo instead of adapting nihongo sentence patterns youve seen a hundred times
its about more than grammar rules its about the shit natives actually say
ask for corrections when you know enough nihongo that things come to your head relatively effortlessly but you know that something feels a little off about this one
until then focus on understanding
and when you get to that point ask natives not djt cause no one here knows nihongo

he could be doing homework for a class since that's where genki is mostly used. if that's the case he should ask his teacher the next time he has class

can matt's ajatt even be considered language learning? it's like learning to play the piano by memorizing songs one note at a time instead of learning scales, chords, progressions, modes and so on.
in that respect it's no different than laoshu's (moses) methods

Daily reminder that playing 12 year old shoujo otome games is not reading and not knowing what 林間学校 or 書 means after 30 years of studying means that you are never gonna make it.

How do I immerse when I can’t read yet? It’ll take me at least 3 more months to finish learning 2K Kanji, and another month or two after that to learn VNcore. In the meantime, should I watch raw TV/anime or something?

starwoods spaceschool for the motha fucken win

>>20710279
Playing Eroge is the best immersion there is.

>>20710279
>when I can’t read yet
with that attitude you never will

If you don't wanna end up like Jorge-chan the first thing is probably to quit playing baby shit like shoujo otome games and play Eroge like a real man.

>>20710279
>learning 2K Kanji
stop this immediately
>learn VNcore

>should I watch anime?
yes

also read manga with furigana

>>20710279

It actually works

>>20710307
otomege usually take place in tryhard yuropoor settings so i assume they're more difficult to read

>>20710279
>It’ll take me at least 3 more months to finish learning 2K Kanji
Please drop kanji study around the 500-1000 mark. You won't remember the meaning of many of those kanji and you won't remember how to write them unless you continue SRSing them for years afterwards. You'll have acquired the ability to stop seeing kanji as random lines long before you do all 2k.

it's a bit eerie that for some cards, what i actually committed to memory was just the SCREEN associated with it. i'm unable to recognize them in a different context, on a screen that doesn't look like the anki interface anymore

>>20710378
pretty typical. it's why reading is important.

you need to actually read the card and think about it when you do anki otherwise yeah you are just flashcarding pictures in a sense

>>20710378
did you listen to the brainlets who tell you to spend max 3 secs on a cards?

>>20710378
This is exactly why reading is very important. Playing visual novel Eroges is a good way to remember all the words that a ゲイ needs.

heres how u learn japanese https://streamable.com/e1tbh

That said, if my theory is correct, then you don’t need to learn Chinese in order to acquire pitch accent; you can simply train yourself to reach “pitch accent fluency” in Japanese the first time.

what the fuck lmao he is getting paid 2.5k a month to write this

thats it im making a patreon

you say that all the time, you don't have the guts to do it, pussy.

>>20710312
>>20710328
The main reason I wanted to learn Kanji first was because it made vocab easier for me. I tried doing Kanji and VNcore concurrently, but I have a hard time remembering kanji combinations if I don’t know how to identify them. Once I know the kanji, it’s easy (時間 time + interval/space = hour/period).

Daily reminder if you don't do flashcards you're an AJATTer.

it is hard in the beginning. it is really hard in the beginning. but what i want to say is the time you spent learning that 時 means time and 間 means interval independently could have just as well been spent looking at the word 時間 and coming to the same conclusion that it's read じかん and means time

>>20710435

Give me a quick rundown

matt says hes was addicted to numbers that he didnt even comprehend his comprehensible input he just writes down sentences to put into anki later cause ankis the real endgame
so to attempt to address his addiction and have a shot at finally learning nihongo he deleted his deck
he assures all you scrubs that you should do exactly what he did until you get to 10k sentences anyway though because obviously theres nothing wrong with his method

>>20710457
Normie doesn't have the discipline to stick to flashcard studying. Claims its too hard for him and that it makes him miserable and that you don’t need to remember uncommon words and just be a semi literate ゲイ that will never master Nihongo.

充満 sentences or 芸

Hi /djt/. I'm translating a doujin as an amateur, and I have a question.
I'd like to find a better way to phrase the english used in this exchange between two characters.

Character 1:
こんな世界に留まるぐらいなら
死んだほうがマシだわ

Translation:
I'd rather be dead than stay in this world.

(Somewhat later in the doujin) Character 2:
これだけは知っておいてくれないか
お前は死んだほうがマシな
人間なんかじゃないって事を

Translation:
I want you to try to understand...
You're not a person who should ever feel that they would rather be dead.

I'm trying to go for similar phrasing in the English as it is similar in the Japanese, but it comes out sounding awkward to me. Does anyone have any ideas to make it sound better?
Thanks for the assistance.

>>20709966
>>20710185
>>20710482
>>20710486

>>20710515
>I'm trying to go for similar phrasing in the English as it is similar in the Japanese, but it comes out sounding awkward to me.

ok i found your problem

>>20710515
>I'm trying to go for similar phrasing in the English as it is similar in the Japanese, but it comes out sounding awkward to me.
Coming from a professional translator, this is the biggest mistake amateur translators make and you should abandon this philosophy immediately. There's nothing inherently worth preserving about the sentence structure of the Japanese unless it's crucial to a joke or something. Write the sentence as if it were originally written in English, first and foremost. Readers won't be thankful that the sentences are oddly structured and read poorly, they'll just wish they were reading a better translation. If there's one thing you should keep close to your heart at all times, it's "How would this be written/said in English?", that's a line of thought that will pretty much always guide you to success.

Also you misunderstood the second line, it's "You're not a person who would be better off dead", not "You're not a person who should FEEL that they would be better off dead". The first line is also a very dry translation, it's hard to describe but you cut the ぐらい and わ which provided emotion to the line, meanwhile "I'd rather be dead than stay in this world." is very flat and emotionless.

>>20710577
>Also you misunderstood the second line, it's "You're not a person who would be better off dead", not "You're not a person who should FEEL that they would be better off dead".
I understand that "feel" is not something used in the japanese, it was just the phrasing I was forced to use to try and preserve the similar sentence formation in the japanese.

>There's nothing inherently worth preserving about the sentence structure of the Japanese
it's not the sentence structure I'm worried about preserving, moreso the verbage used and the fact that 死んだほうがマシ is the same phrasing. I've already actually considered changing the 2nd line to exactly as you've suggested, "You're not a person who would be better off dead.", but I felt that it should match the first line's meaning of "Rather be dead" instead of "Better off dead", if that makes sense.

>>20710577
>it's hard to describe but you cut the ぐらい and わ which provided emotion to the line, meanwhile "I'd rather be dead than stay in this world." is very flat and emotionless.
How would you recommend I change that, then? I can't think of a much better way to make that sound less dry, since "wa" as a sentence end isn't exactly something you translate.

>>20709713
that is perfect,your expressions are no problem. Those are speaking way of Japanese, but native speaker don't use it when they write.

>>20710622
Exactly.

>just learn nihongo they said
>it will be better for vidya animu and mangu they said
day 194

>>20710622
This is why translations are always shit. I feel sad for the brainlets that don't study Nihongo.

>>20710644
Keep studying faggot.

>>20710607
Neither sentence uses originally "feel" though, you're making it less like the Japanese there so any gains in making it both "rather" would be lost.
>>20710613
Depends on too many things to count, lines like that can't be taken out of context. It's important to think of the character as a whole and develop a voice for them which you use across the board to add emotion/depth to otherwise dry lines. You can't really just look at one individual line and develop a voice just for that one particular line.

>>20710664
Alright, so ignoring the dryness in the first line, you'd recommend at the very least changing the second line to "You're not a person who would be better off dead", yeah? at least, that's what makes more sense.

>>20710644

is there a page where I can get kanjis by mixing the radicals? google translate or https://kanji.sljfaq.org/ tend to fail me sometimes

>>20711034
Not him but i liked kino a ton. It's also accessible to beginners because of its format as 'a collection of short stories' so it's more digestible. Some of them are hit and miss, but I would say it's more good than not.

>>20711034
Kino is kino af but again make no mistake, the story being interesting or making you think does not equal it being great writing.

Same concept as reading this piece of shit book, but in reverse. The writing is about as pretty as you can make Japanese without it becoming fucked up/incomprehensible poetry, but the story is cucked bullshit and thank god it's such a short book. The average 異世界 protagonist is more interesting and less shitty than 島村.

>>20711145
that's a famous book so you must be wrong. it must be good.

>>20711145
I think "story interesting" is more important than "writing good." What does good writing even really mean?

>>20711058
>didn't have watched

>What does good writing even really mean?

nice i like it

IS this the thread where i ask how the fuck learn nihongo?
I want to learn because there are so many underrated works that will never get a translation and i feel i am gimping myself.
Are there any youtube channels that make a good explanations of the basics of japanese?

How do you know when a word ends?
I mean japanese doesnt have space right?

>>20711187
howdoyouknowwhenthesewordsend?
you just need to improve your vocabulary and read more. it naturally becomes easier and easier.

by knowing where the next word begins

Japanese doesn't have "words".

>>20711209
You've gone too far this time anon.

>>20711157
No bully

japanese is just complete cucked bullshit

>>20711227
But i need it to read underrated mangas sadly.
This shit is too hard, why cant it be easy like korean.

>>20711227
just like the american language

>>20711209
wtf are kotoba and tango then

>>20711181
- learn the hiragana/katakana. no, you don't need to be able to write them.
- build some basic foundations in grammar and vocabulary however you want. don't spend more than a month or two on it.
- start reading.

>>20711256
Wait, i just need hiragana katakana?
I tought i had to learn kanjis before starting reading.

>>20711256
>no, you don't need to be able to write them.
How can you learn a language without being able to write in that language?

>>20711270
not gonna make it

>>20711181
>Are there any youtube channels that make a good explanations of the basics of japanese?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEA54VJEdE

>>20711261
you need to know hiragana to look up kanji readings and katakana for words not written in either hiragana or kanji.
since words are made up of kanji and have different ways of being pronounced based on the context it's better to look up the words in kanji as you go than to study them out of context.

>>20711261
There are only 2136 Kanjis to know.
You can learn them in a week

>There are only 2136 Kanjis to know.
lmao

>>20711245
isn't that some kind of dance

>>20711261
kanji aren't words and there's a shitton of them why would you learn them before you start reading
just learn them as you go
man im glad i broke my djt ban and responded to you you'd be lost without me

>>20711296
I see, thanks.
BTW, how do you even know whether what you are reading is katakana, hiragana or kanji?

>>20711283
sorry i should explain this better

there is a word 大事

studying 大 and 事 out of context as having the meaning big and thing respectively isn't going to help you read it as だいじ (daiji) or おおごと (oogoto) depending on the context you see it in and understand the different meanings. so really you can only "learn kanji" is by seeing how they are used and read in real japanese. the only way to do this is to read japanese and look up words as you go

>>20711302
you'll know that automatically once you learn the kana

btw i read 口コミ as rokomi the first time i saw it lol

>>20711302

in terms of gaijin grammar, the auxillary verbs させる and られる and their linking into させられる because the way i learned initially was so fucked up. thanks genki. japanese is pretty intuitive though as long as you dont poison your mind with stupid english explanations youll figure stuff out with enough input

>>20711396

Most of the ideas of Low Key Anki are good. Anki's spacing model is actually very bad for language related learning, particularly what it does when you fail cards. You can get 80% of the way to the benefits of Low Key Anki by doing the following things without using any addons:

- Setting the review limit to 9999
- Setting the lapse interval factor to something between 10% and 40% (I recommend 20%)
- Never EVER pressing the Easy or Hard buttons
- Suspending or deleting cards you're 100% certain you'll never forget again (like if you see 犬 with a four month interval, and you read a lot, you can just suspend or delete it.)
- Set your default ease to 130 and your interval modifier to 200%. (I have not tested this. In theory, it should be almost equivalent to making the "Again" button not affect card eases, which is a good change to make.)

This is not the complete Low Key Anki experience, but it should get you 80% of the way there. If you want, you can also set the minimum lapse interval - the day value, not the lapse factor - to something like 2 days. Or your normal minimum interval.

>>20711617
Very tired of seeing various strategies for avoiding learning japanese given capitalized names. Lazy Kanji, Low Key Anki, etc goddd just stfu matt

oh yeah btw matt's interval modifier bullshit is actual literal bullshit with no experimental or mathematical backing pulled out of anki's manual where it has no explanation or justification, frankly anki's developer should be ashamed

>>20711643
why the fuck would matt be posting that shit

it's a copypasta from an earlier djt

>>20711646
Seems like shit he would write up and people love posting his blabberings here for him so it checks out

>>20711650
>Most of the ideas of Low Key Anki are good
matt would never construct a sentence like this, he's too much of an arrogant asshole

or just use supermemo

supermemo is worse than anki

It’s not really about morality, it’s about about wanting a physical book, I can’t into e-books at all, otherwise I would totally have a Tobira scan downloaded

Why is it necessary to use anki?

>>20711681
It's at the bottom of maslow's hierarchy of needs together with water food shelter and wifi

anki is not necessary next question

Hey bros if i am a spic and visit japan will i suffer murder?

belonging is more important than shelter prove me wrong

And while I mostly kept my vow of not coming to 4chan besides one time, I must break it now because I'm going to drop this book. About 100 pages in and I'm starting to have to force myself to go forward. I just can't find any interest in this type of self-insert bland MC tragic sick girl love story. However, my strategy of pronouncing to jaypee what I am going to read without coming here helped, as I felt shame for wanting to come shitpost and instead forged ahead. I'm going to switch to this book now, and hopefully with your support I will conquer it. Thank you in advance friends.

The one who created and posted this is the らいおんきんぐ. He basically claims that this is real. He might still be here although he did say he gave up on Japanese and went studying Spanish instead. Just another dumb Eternal Dekinai faggot.

tfw I'm starting subconsciously recognizing kanji I've learned before and using the readings I know to remember new words.
I might make it bros.

>>20712502
i only know 1k words and that already happens to me

It is I, lighto.

>>20712517
Yeah, that's the 6k/2k deck so I'm at 1k words too.
So this is the point where this starts to get easy.

>>20711510
let's be honest here... a average japanese knows 2136 kanji (and their combination)?

it is わたし、ゲイ

ｗｈｙdo we pick on jorge sans nihongo he can do what he needs to do with it which is like a shit load of normie shit u guys need to find a real ass otaku ninja to fuck with

I think that probably the reason matt came to hate japan and japanese media is because even after like ten years of "studying" it he can still barely understand anything

>>20712641
do you really think he could read that much tho

How the fuck do you guys even read kanji on 4chan? That shit is so small I can’t tell what the fuck it is unless I’m in my phone.

>>20712650
We hate normies and his Nihongo is shit. There is a reason why he is a interpreter and not a translator.

>>20712524
もしもし子央です

>>20712658
i think it's because western media is just better and the best japanese material gets translated and those translations are good enough.

>>20712664
By replacing your 12" monitor grandpa

>>20712664
You might want to get your eyes checked?

And yes, some kanji get very compressed and barely recognizable. However, once you get used to it seeing it multiple times you can read it with no problem.

>>20712664
hold ctrl and scroll up on your mouse's scrollwheel.

Serious question. How long did matt study Japanese?

>>20712674
i really believe this but there is a certain autistic thrill to consuming the media in the language it was made in

>>20712686
I have two moniters, a 24” and a 32"

>>20712689
I mean i wear glasses and just got a new pair last month. I have no problem telling them apart when theyre big enough but i have to CTRL+ once or twice to read them here.

>>20712689
A "4K" 3840x2160 27" monitor at 175-200% desktop scaling is the least everyone should have generally. It doesn't have to be expensive.

I think it's fair to pick on George from zero kara hajimeru nihongo because he takes the position of a teacher but is full on garbage at it. That video where he "analyzes" the nihongo in the gravure model video has him mishear a couple things within the first minute, and he barely has the requisite knowledge to explain boob sizes.

His comprehension of spoken japanese isn't terrible, but it's not anywhere close to good either, even in the context of him being a stupid old guy who does boring normie shit all the time. It's like C+ level. He's got a lot of weird gaijin tics from learning kanji super late too, like using RTK keywords to translate kanji compounds, which is fucking weird considering he's supposed to have been a professional interpreter.

People calling him dumb isn't a jealousy thing, he's just dumb.

at least hes dumb and doesnt pretend to be smart like someone else we all know and love

>>20712723
At best he is a garbage tier interpreter only able to interpret the most basic baby conversations. And yet, His followers that watch him interpret don't understand Nihongo and think he is interpreting very good while actually they talk baby shit all the time. And George is probably shitty at it too. And yet, He earned so much money selling retarded weebs textbooks.

>>20712630

the hilarious thing is vjg is free and better and ppl still buy bad hackneyed content from hack ass creators

He only "knows" Korean and considering his Japanese isn't great we can assume his Korean is significantly worse.

>>20712820
I found it in the past randomly.

He is telepathic and knows more than 5 languages including Japanese.

how can you tell if someone actually knows japanese?

just ask them ? im sure theyll tell u the truth and not be weird about it haha

>>20712991
do you know japanese

the only way to know is to be better at japanese than they are thats why i dont know if matt actually knows japanese or not

>>20712986
Welp I'm off to bed.

>>20712998
まあね

>>20712861
Is it possible to study Kanji just with the radical approach?

I might be retarded but what's the difference between 行きませんでした and 行かなかった?

what do u think the difference is lets start there

the first one uses ません and でした to make it sound more polite than the second one which uses なかっ and た ordinarily

>>20713012
Not really because of kanji compound words. However, radicals are extremely important because even in Japanese schools when they teach Kanji they also teach all the Radicals as well. This way you can remember it better or if you forgot the reading of a kanji you can guess the Kanji by looking at its radicals and then apply the correct on or kun yomi reading.

i meant desi and ta hhehe yurusite

>>20713017
行きませんでした is the increased formality variant which they would use in e.g. processions of the imperial court and 行かなかった is the traditional variant for peasants and working folk.

>>20713034
>なかっ and た

also 行き is in renyoukei and 行か is in mizenkei conjugation

>>20713042
Oh, i got fucking confused because usually Tae Kim doesn't use grammar in his guides that hasn't been introduced yet so when i read 行きませんでした in his Compound Sentences lesson i got fucking confused and started questioning my life

>>20713017
And also don't forget that でした is just the past tense of です

u are cute but you need to put a sock in it

>>20713017
行きませんでした is the negative form of 行きます
行かなかった is the negative form of 行く
that's it

>>20713062
*past negative

Hey fagboys lmao

Can you please recommend me some stuff where an English speaker translates every sentence as they read something in Japanese that way I don’t need to look everything up myself please

>>20713062
you forgot the past tense :]

>>20713066
yeah here you go lol https://youtu.be/bzIp2PtS-Wk

>>20713035
So i have to study all 200 radicals, then all kanji isolated and then all the vocabulary? Damn
That image that was posted in the last thread said not to learn all Kanj individually that is stupid

>>20713035
Also, is it very important "to write" in order to learn japanese? Can you just watch/read kanji?

it might sound funny but that's 100% on point literally exactly what it is
～ません is the negative of the aux verb ～ます

what i dont get is why u guys picked both of them apart into pieces instead of just compared the 2 statements ヽ(　￣д￣)ノ

Okay guys i'm not kidding here
I'm gonna paypal 2000$ to the person who rerecords all of Cure-Dolly's video audio with their own voice (matching in time with what is said in the videos of course) and uploads them as audio tracks so i can watch these grammar videos without having to endure """her""" voice.

its like watching a beginner what the fuck

that wasn't my post and i put the cool tildes there for a reason

lmfao ok i cant defend jorge anymore even ironically https://streamable.com/cp62l

starwoods spaceschool and now this its just too much dude i cant lmfao

>>20713132
he's an entrepreneur who got rich af selling beginner japanese books with anime covers on them. i don't think he has any real teaching qualifications besides his personal experience but that's self employment for you he knows what he is doing 100%

>>20713132
I just happened to scroll there before reading this post and it sounded like she said ハイキングくれちゃった

>>20713147
I hope so, haven't been following the guy so I can't say either way but it's sad to think a guy like this could think he has pretty good japanese

what's bad is there's a solid amount of weebs and larpers watching & reading his stuff who think he does, and that they will also have good japanese if they absorb his content and get to his level, but at least (hopefully) none of them are budding entrepreneurs or cult leaders

発禁食らっちゃったから
he still figured out what it meant

george tells his followers to try a wide variety of methods and has said "hey you should try input for several months just to see if it works". but then he advocates doing pointless stuff. and i haven't read jfz but i'm guessing it just covers the basics like any grammar resource, so he's probably not worse than anyone else but it's still surprising to me how much difficulty he has with simple text and audio.

i guess i can still defend jorge

at least hes comfortable saying he doesnt know to his customers and the internet at large when he doesnt know something so common that was well enunciated like that

how do u get by as an interpreter when u cant even deal with that tho i shudder at the thought lol

also compare to a guy like mott binder who instead of acknowledging he cant read words in muramasa just makes up readings for every single one of them while trying to maintain his farce

>>20713239
>just makes up readings
you ever think he just genuinely thought they were something else?

>>20713193
>but at least (hopefully) none of them are budding entrepreneurs or cult leaders
matt seems like a pretty nice guy if you pay to talk to him and you are better than him at nihongo hell push you to be more like him plenty of patreon dolla for everyone he might even take it to the next level with you if your hair screams that you too have experience with toilets
>>20713228
>at least hes comfortable saying he doesnt know
definitely respect him for that and thats also why i think hes not a self aware scammer hes just genuinely unaware after all people have paid him for his abilities

lmao did matt really make up readings in that video? thats too much

>>20713247
nope cuz he rehearsed them that way effectively doubling down on his aids

>>20713247
>>20713239
video+timestamp onegaisyimasu

>>20713254
>he rehearsed them that way
so he had time to rehearse them and look up the actual readings, but upon realizing "i have no idea how this is read" he decided "i'm just gonna make this up and no one will know"? or alternatively he rehearsed and thought he knew what the readings were but was wrong?

please listen to yourself.

>>20713263
its amazing the oversights u make when ur too full of urself

: )

>>20713263
Nah, people can't possibly make mistakes, it's all part of the plan.

yall gotta remember thats how matt inputs
he runs his eyes over shit he cant understand and guesses readings and saves some sentences from his ipad to investigate and add to anki later
>>20713263
he directly said himself that he rehearsed that video so its up to you to decide what to make of that

In order to read as smoothly as possible I kept trying to keep my eyes ahead of my mouth, and it looks like this lead my brain's predictive abilities to fail me a few times: I read "機能" as "状態" and "外し" as "躱し". Also pronounced "村" as "むね" one time....

do you get it now? it's because his brain's predictive abilities failed him due to keeping his eyes in front of his mouth

he was obviously focused 100% on his *tries not to laugh* pitch accent *lmaos* because as long as he sounds convincing who cares

>>20713283
hontoo nara ookii
>>20713289
its not even about convincing he just wants to sound like what he imagines some kinda fuckin samurai or somethin would sound like cause that would be wicked sick and really complete his journey to nihonjin ni naritai

>>20713283
Humn. Reading English is IQ dependent. If your IQ is at least moderate, you can read a sentence at a glance, and reading out loud is very smooth. Your eyes are way ahead of your mouth. But weaker people read slowly and don't make good narrators.

The same must apply to Japanese people and language, and doubly so to those learning it as a second language.

please dont give yous to iq posters resist the urge

>>20713289
he only became "redpilled" on the topic of pitch accent after making that video

you should be able to tell because his pitch accent is complete bollocks

>>20713289
he didn't begin studying pitch accent much until after that video iirc. really sick of you hating on my homeboy.

i'm going to spend an hour or so reading baldo sky!

Me too, the amount of seething in this thread brightens up my day.

Why do people meme that japanese is unlearnable unless you a kid?

>>20713337
>I can't learn it so it must be impossible, it can't be my fault

we sure like to joke about him but there's for sure something messed up with the guy's head

he's somehow chained his ability to speak japanese on his channel behind a perceived barrier of "cringe" i.e. he is basically too embarrassed and narcissistic to actually use the language his cult is built around

ive glimpsed matts ability to sort of read the intro to muramasa after practicing hard everyday for a month

so i bring u the next level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW8-KfItpdQ#t=156

i was gonna play it at someone's recommendation and cuz jamal told me i never would but then i saw gameplay and realized there was probably too much i wouldn't be able to understand, and too much which probably wouldn't work with a texthooker, so jamal was right.

>>20713343
We have excellent learners like Nick who have verified Matt's superiority so there's really nothing for him to prove.

How hard is japanese compared to english?
I know i can be recognized as a ESL by the way i construct sentences but my english is good enough to read books and comunicate.
I have learned it with my videogame english and reading books and searching unknown words.
How much harder would that be with japanese?

thats not the kind of right i wanna be tho : (

can u just do something about it and play ballr sky anyway ill teach u how to do a sick combo with the giant robot

>>20713366
theres languages that are like english by default and then there are languages that really are not until you learn them and find out maybe they kind of are like japanese

nick might be more messed up in the head than matt if you can even believe that

at least his nihongos better even if hes perma cucked

>>20713362
the gameplay menus are pretty dense but the gameplay itself is both simple and skippable (i think it's skippable anyway)

dont skip playing the fuckin game

playing is important

like how u play with urself

>>20713366
Depends what your native language is.

How much time do you guys think i need to get the basics to read a LN(GS)

i mean im not gonna because i'm a "gamer" who also gets his dick hard from looking at mecha so it's win/win for me

i love my gamers

RTK

classism and socioeconomic status are independent of nihongo

much like jesus nihongo will accept u if u just have faith the size of a mustard seed

do you guys think matt actually understands 学問のすゝめ or just shadows it with his voice without paying attention to the words

and watch ur 10000 hours of eng subbed anime

Do japanese like black people?

ive seen some porno covers that seem to indicate this to be possible

>>20713396
