we need a redo on this thread its already over

also lmao @ matt

labrador retriever

>>20994687
There's a lot of people who never use RTK and reach fluency. And the gap between when I finished RTK and when I learned vocab for each kanji in RTK was so long that I had forgotten most of RTK's keywords so it's basically as if I hadn't done it. And I learned words fine.

do you think the tears well up in matt's eyes when he reads djt and sees people making fun of him

why would he cry about djt he doesnt even read comments about myself

if ur gonna make a shittier op than me can u at least put a minute of effort into it

i had a new OP image ready to go but he beat me to it

>>20994881

>>20994881
Well I hate making new OPs because I don't wanna get a number wrong or something. I only do it because you faggots take too long. 2 minutes without DJT and I start hyperventilating.

that aint a minute of effort either

>>20994881
i think itscool were really to talk about erromango island again in tyool 2019

>>20994855
But at least you can write characters from memory. Who cares about the keywords, that's not the improtant bit.

>>20994904
>But at least you can write characters from memory.
I can't write most anymore because I've forgotten. And I was OK with forgetting because writing is a worthless skill that I could learn later more easily.

matt not knowing what a labrador retriever is makes me think hes just retarded in all areas of life

i bet matt sama's accent is WAY better than anyone's in this thread

>>20994930
what if in his mind he was doing it on purpose to try and make himself seem more japanese but then the huge lol is that japanese ppl know what labs are too but he wouldnt know cuz he spent all his japan time in the toilet lmfao

>>20994930
you can seriously tell he is. there was another part where he couldnt give a translation for 恵まれている without looking it up in english

a certain someone just tweeted that he's having a hard time with bopomofo and is hoping childrens songs will help

>Kana wasn't that bad, because every single sound was familiar. But Bopomofo....omg. I'm having a hard time with it. There are so many sounds that sound foreign to my ears. I'm about to search for some kids resources and learn through songs along with my deck.

im fuckin dead man. the guy seriously needs to listen to 10,000 hours of english surtitled peking opera before he starts on this shit

>>20994930
How can anyone who claims any familiarity with Japan not know what a labrador retriever is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzdhDr4t84I

just chatted with two esl japanese students at my daigaku, i got the jozuu so i guess i'm still madamada desu...

well now i know theres 2 of u and u both use uppercase

very fitting

>>20994991
u shoulda just asked them if it was the real jozu or the fake (see ryan boundless vid) jozu

calvin's next move is "i'm not gonna learn how to read yet i'm just gonna listen to raw chinese so my accent is perfect like matt says" i guarantee

calvins next move is to be a fat stupid nigger

>>20994995
joke's on you i switch between upper and lowercase all the time

>>20995017
its no joke on me i already know i just look for the posts that really blow and it leads me right to u

can someone just inform him that things you haven't learned yet tend to be hard and need practice?

>>20995013
his next move is "...si hago cosas como esta... no tengo que... pensar sobre nada... decidir nada.

is this what these NPC retards who are like "i was a gifted child and now i cant learn anything because if i dont understand it instantly i give up" are like?

>>20995043
yea but u need a pretty high level in a certain stat for that dialogue option to unlock

ive never had a sincere jouzu only something else after 20mins of talking to them like "日本語本当にうまいっすね” or some shit and im like yeah i eat it all the time

calvin doesnt strike me as a "gifted" child
"special", maybe

>>20995017
Why is that sweetheart freaking out?

So the only e celebs you can listen to are dogen, khatz, and possibly brit now?

>>20995040
oh calvin why

the only eceleb i listen to is xiaovin motherfucker

is there any bigger tragedy than getting ur told ur jozu in earnest but being too cranially crippled to understand it lol

>>20995128
dang all the mia shitters gettin destroyed today

why is 電波教師 translated to Ultimate Otaku Teacher but 電波女と青春男 is Electrowave Girl and Youthful Boy
what does 電波 mean, aside from radio/electromagnetic waves?

> I like Taiwan more than China, so I will learn that variety.

"Taiwanese Mandarin makes use of the traditional Chinese characters as opposed to the simplified Chinese characters used in the PRC. "

this should go well

>>20995128
Isn't all the interesting Chinese media from China though? The Taiwanese output must be tiny compared to it, even if you only compare to mandarin
It'd be like learning Japanese while only immersing with Tsugaru-ben

>>20995138
i think u gotta literally read more or smth on this 1 to fully appreciate teh 電波h

>>20995138
have u tried google

>>20995138
see with 10k eng subbed anime you wouldnt be asking questions like this

>>20995138
its not "translated" its a localisation decision that has not much to do with the original japanese

to think i told som1 to read more and some1 else told him to watch 10k hours of eng subbed anime

djts in a real fuckin good spot rn

>>20995138
denpa man, denpa!!!
You're here in /jp/ and dont know what denpa is?

>>20995138
even wikipedia denpa song page can help you:
"The term "denpa" (電波, "electromagnetic waves") originally arose in the 1990s to describe quirky individuals who often daydream and live in their personal fantasies, and derives from the Fukagawa Street Murders in 1981."

>>20995150
>>20995166
where or what do I read?

>>20995152
no, google is bad and confusing to search japanese stuff

>>20995158
I already did that

>>20995164
so it's a rewrite?

>>20995180
I want a better explanation

>>20995191
ah, thank you, that's all I needed

>>20995192
ur not gonna get a better explanation than eng wiki theres a little more than the other dude posted

>>20995196
lmao

>>20995192
even the wiki page for the fuckin thing youre talking about answers your question. this is how bad you are at the internet

its ok dude hes basically up to speed now

>>20995202
chill he said google is bad and confusing so obviously theres somethin wrong with him

if it was matt hed read it as dengo

>>20995077

>>20995202
I usually don't use wikipedia when searching about anime and mangas
anyways, thank you

>>20995208
you are interpreting my words wrongly but I will not refute your comment

>>20995234
you're too polite to be here

By the way tomogakis learning japanese has made my life happier than it was before. I need to express my gratitude for this reason to you djt. Thank you.

Taiwan and maybe Hong Kong are the only parts of "China" that have unrestricted global internet access, and I'm not even sure about Hong Kong anymore. If you want to talk to Chinese people online, Taiwanese is the way to go.

anyone know where I can pirate atok?

>>20995337
Took me a moment to figure out that this is a fantasy setting
Now it makes sense

>>20995356
What is an atok?

You could have prevented the public humiliation of Tae Kim and the gradual obsolescence of his guide. You could have prevented it. But you didn't. You twiddled your thumbs and cheered him on, hoping everything would resolve itself. But you should know better. A single person can't fight back against a circlejerk of eternal beginners alone.

You could have prevented the death and obsolescence of DJT and the end of the filtering-out and fixing-in of sane learning materials. You could have prevented it. But you didn't. In the name of fairness and neutrality, you filled the guide with garbage, triggered hundreds of hours of arguments about RTK, redistributed terrible anki decks and kanji books made by people with negative amounts of understanding of Japanese, and exposed it all to the wider internet, attracting political spam so bad the thread got banned from /a/. But you should know better. Neutrality attracts conflict, of all kinds, intellectual, ideological, and civil.

You could have prevented the rise of Matt and MIA and the degradation of input-based learning methods. You could have prevented it. But you didn't. You pointed and laughed, saying, that's hilarious, nobody's going to buy that. But you should know better. Underage weebs and mentally unwell young adults don't have such clear judgment as you.

All we've got left is George, our nico nico douga memes, and our porn. Lots, and lots, and lots, of porn.

>>20995393
Once a thread is sufficiently shit nobody wants to seriously engage with it anymore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATOK

what r u talking about the guide is perfect look at this guide

>>20995397
That doesn't have anything to do with my post. DJT was cozy on /a/ before the OP site got too "good" and the thread started attracting people from other boards and sites.

>>20995408
that is so good
do you have a parteon perhaps?

On another note, I'm glad my エロマンガ先生（薄い本などに関係がない。島です。） shilling finally started paying off.

>>20995393
>You could have prevented the rise of Matt and MIA and the degradation of input-based learning methods.
But MIA is input-based, and pretty much everyone here advocates for input-based learning anyways

You might want to wander outside of 4chan some time.

my dad found out i'm making the monolingual transition and kicked me out of the house

>>20995393
Who cares? Any general thread is doomed to go to shit sooner or later (assuming it wasn't already shit to begin with). The "solution" is obviously to make non-general, non-template threads about the Japanese language. But that would be too hard, wouldn't it?

i do. people don't mention mia because it doesn't matter.

if japanese threads stood on their own without a general we could focus on what really matters with a banger general

>>20995477
Go back to your IRC circlejerk or wherever you guys sit around now. Your views on how communities work and how information gets around the internet don't reflect reality.

If you want to make a thread that functions as an entirely separate entity from the board it's on, go ahead, but don't be surprised when the board's users feel alienated from you while outsiders flock like flies.

>>20995515
If you actually looked at this site, you'd understand that it's your own fault, not the fault of people posting about getting closer to the media the board is for.

what's a more specific aspect of japanese learning that a thread could be made about??

>>20995531
I don't even know what you're talking about. This thread has been filled with people who don't care about anime, VNs etc since the /a/ days, and it's because generals are cancer.

this yojijukugo goes out to carbin
初志貫徹

Yeah I'm glad this thread's residents don't liveblog their anime and VNs and manga and light novels and games that would be really annoying. That doesn't mean they're not consuming them or that they don't drop recommendations on other people.

Alternatively: Oh no, the thread isn't filled from top to bottom with bad image memes made by people who watched three episodes of some show and spent twenty hours shitposting about it in a template thread with its name in the subject field, it must not have anyone who cares about actually consuming media in it.

I know you've felt this way for a super god damn long time, but get real. The reason that 4chan is full of paranoid boogeymanning, eceleb trash, and ideological spam is bad moderation. It doesn't matter what thread it is. If it's interesting, bad posters will come. You have to deal with them. Self moderation has never worked. And it's never going to work. No matter how much you think it should. Don't pin the management's failures and willful ignorance on the attendees.

On that note, I'm going to go devour a delicious volume of エロマンガ先生, topped with mayonaise and apple cider vinegar. Farewell.

Someone convince me to stop listening to music and study more kanji, pls

>>20995575
Listen to more music and stop studying kanji. And stop listening to whoever told you to study kanji. Watch anime and read porn instead.

If you were serious about Japanese you'd know that loanwords ending with an /r/ sound use a 長音符

Its been a while since I brushed up on grammar. Its also been a while since I even realized I even needed to note down unknown grammar despite not understanding what I'm reading.

self-moderation would be 100% possible if we gave OPs the same level of control over their threads that they have over on 2chan but that'll never happen

as long as i get to be the op

>>20995615
>needed to note down unknown grammar despite not understanding what I'm reading.
why do so many of u post about doing this dumb shit

>>20995393
>You could have prevented the death and obsolescence of DJT
This happened as soon as DJT was moved to /jp/. That alone cut new blood coming in from /a/, which before you get board-elitist about, means far less new learners and less people learning Japanese. Activity on this thread got cut in half, more than half. Maybe it's about 1/4th as active as it used to be if that. Anyway, instead of a huge flow of people coming in and learning Japanese, it's just a couple of /jp/ rejects. Hell, 50% of the posts in this thread are Jamal sucking his own dick. DJT is less a place for new learners nowadays and more a general thread for regulars to have fun in. Barely anyone's actually learning Japanese like they used to.

>>20995613
Not all of them, though.

>>20995643
u cant learn japanese in a thread maybe u should stop living in ur bubble and come to terms with the ice wall dude

It's literally one retard responsible for turning DJT into a shitposter blog and we all know who it is.

its fine i already know i saved a couple of lives and thats all that matters its worth it

まあ初老と引き換えにだけどね

jamal isnt a person jamal is a state of mind

Why would you even want new blood?

Circlejerking with you faggots is vastly preferable to giving newbies the same advice (i.e fucking with them) day in, day out.

the guy that wants new blood is the guy that gets off on literally perma crippling ppl

thats why im seen as his mortal enemy

did you read his post right

I've just noticed the Yen use the "old" numerals

i.e. 壱万円

I was bored so I was reading stuff off my bank notes, so here's a new interesting thing:

Fukuzawa Yukichi, the dude on the 壱万円 note, is written with 福沢諭吉, but his O.G. name is 福澤諭吉.

壱 is a 新字体 simplification of 壹, while 沢 is a simplification of 澤.

have u tried just lookin shit up when ur readin and not givin a shit beyond that

what was his deal with the GPU and arcade stick anyway why did he keep selling them when you can just pirate 100000 gbs of japanese shit and get fluent

How often do you need to anally fist yourself while reading Japanese books for maximum retention? I've been doing it 3-5 times per sentence for about 3 months now, but the looser I get the harder it is to not shit myself when I have diarrhea.

I'd have to look through an entire guide. Of course I use crtl+f but then there's time spent reading the explanation and to be real I'd rather do all the searching later. Mouse over dictionaries take maybe just a second, and I'm being specific to how I read, but I'll read a sentence with no look ups and then reread with lookups using kanjitomo

words are more meaningful when u learn them this way

Is using "sono" as a counter for parts, installments, etc. a nonstandard usage or is my dictionary lying to me?

The specific sentence is: 「twitterなどのふとしたネプ落書きをまとめたやつその４。」 => "My collected twitter Nep shitscribbles #4"

>>20996443
it's not being used as a counter here

how exactly did 英 come to refer to England? What's the relation?

how about this y’all
look up a word
1. if you know the readings and the meaning seems easy to remember/logical based on the kanji, just reread it in the sentence and continue
2. if the kanji or reading is new to you, or the meaning is not intuitive, add to SRS deck
3. study that deck for two weeks then throw it away and hope you see it in context again soon enough before forgetting

>>20996613
because it's full of legendary 英雄 like King Arthuria

>>20996613
That character is pronounced "ying" in Chinese which sounds kind of like "ENGlish", so in Chinese that character was used for that. And then Japanese took it too

never heard of Wechat eh? lulz

I just read the first couple pages of re zero today. When I started 2 years ago my reason was to read the ln in original japanese. After reading those pages I learned that the book is written in FUCKING THIRD PERSON. Is my whole japanese learning for naught. Should I just stop, should i just kill myself? I have made such amazing progress and this is a big hit.

>>20996759
what’s so bad about third person?

>>20996771
its horrible. Why even read a book if it is just describing scenarios? books are for being able to experience a story from a perspective impossible in visual mediums. I hate third person so much, i gives me the feeling the writer is writing because of the lower overhead as apposed of the respect of the medium.

>>20994819
flyable heart is tagged on vndb with "nakige," and apparently it has a twist. is it any good? or is it something that only someone brand new to the medium (like me for the most part) would enjoy.

>>20996759
are you sure it's not just that his neetspeak is completely incomprehensible?

>>20996801
the prologue was in first person, but the first chapter was describing his appearance and the scenario definitely third person.

>>20996759
>>20996787
I think what you're looking for are VNs. They are almost exclusively in first person.

>>20996759
Just drop that kiddie isekai LN trash and read epic eroge instead.

>>20996810
not really. most of the descriptive shit tends not to be

>>20996787
im kind of wondering if you've ever read a book in english at this point

i just read the first chapter of dies irae today. when i started 2 years ago my reason was to read the vn in original japanese. after reading those first few scenes I learned that the book is written in FUCKING LATIN!!! Is my whole japanese learning for naught. Should I just stop, should i just kill myself? I have made such amazing progress and this is a big hit.

>>20996816
i read assigned reading in high school and like 2 books after high school. I read mostly in japanese tho.

i just read the first chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms today. when i started 2 years ago my reason was to read the book in original japanese. after reading those first few scenes I learned that the book is written in FUCKING CHINESE!!! Is my whole japanese learning for naught. Should I just stop, should i just kill myself? I have made such amazing progress and this is a big hit.

you guys seem like pretty epic at deciding things, just downloaded some epic raws which should i watch, grand blue, inuyashiki, or re watch k-on?

That last line there is the first time I've been a bit confused in a while. Is she saying that at this point she doesn't care about men or women? As in, she's no longer interested in loving someone?

>>20995797
Manga isn't reading though.

>>20996875
Something good instead.

>>20996966
Just skip all scenes with chinatsu it'll make the game better.

>>20996980
I've really enjoyed her in the story so far, and I think it's interesting how they're keeping it a mystery how she ended up this way in the present vs. how she was in the past. Makes me sad that everyone seems to shit on her route, hoping that I at least get some enjoyment out of it (if I ever reach that point this game is so long).

>skipping scenes
kimoi

this test fucking sucks, literally every question was either too easy or kanji i literally never seen before.

>>20996991
lmfao how does it feel to be worse than nuke chan

>>20996991
if you get questions right you get more difficult questions, if you get them wrong you get easier questions
it's not the test that sucks

>>20996991
How long you been at dis dawg. I took it last august and got this score. I feel like i am infinitely better than august but i dont want to take it again until this august.

Well the test i feel is kinda bad as it has very few questions to base your score on.

>>20997004
with a score like that u literally cant even read most of the questions on the test

how can u say u feel infinitely better while the above is true ?

>>20997008
>ely better while the above
well that was 7 months ago and i have read like 20 books since then.

>>20996997
yea but i feel like there was no inbetweeners, you know?
like questions kept switching from
これはペンです tier
to some fucking legal documents tier with city names and shit(only knew it was a city because of 市)

>I'm starting to reconsider focusing on Taiwan and bopomofo. I know I usually say I prefer Taiwan over China, but ultimately that is due to superficial reasons and preconceived notions that I have of china. The mainland is ultimately the heart of Chinese. It would be more wise for me to focus on that more than Taiwanese Mandarin.
lol

this guy is a living cautionary tale

xiaovin never wanted to learn a language he just wanted to belong to something
be glad he ended up in something relatively benign instead of joining ISIS

>>20997085
definitely dont let xiaovin see this thread

>>20996996
well nuke chan has been trying for over a quarter of his life so his ability needs to be considered with that perspective.

>>20996980
>Manga isn't reading though.

and words aren’t language right lol

>>20997099
they aren't
they're only fragments of language

ah, feels so good to be appreciated

Is there a better/different text hooker I could try other than ITHVNR? Most vns ive tried on it, it doesnt get any text from

ahh ゲイって気持ちいい

did there used to be a guy on this thread who liked kill me baby or am i remembering wrong?

>>20997106
theres a fork of ithvnr called textractor that has more built in engine support but you need to remove the dekinai extensions it comes with
either way you need hcodes for some shit help yourself there are two big lists linked in the guide on the op site that you didnt read

>>20997101
they are both language and parts of language, like a flower is a plant and also part of a plant

>>20997128
is a finger a person. flower is only considered a plant because people refer to plants like roses as a flower while a flower is just the blooming part before turning into seeds. brainlets my god

>笑顔
Who's idea was it to write this whole thing vs えがお

>>20997131
nice self own

>>20997131
bad analogy dude. a better one would be “is a flower a plant” and the answer is yes, it is. it’s also part of a plant.

>>20997128
would you call a twig a tree?

>>20995596
>>20995613
I'm more curious about why they use キャ instead of just カ?

>>20997155
cuz the former is closer to the actual english sound and the later means u end up with カルビン aka carbin aka xiaovin

good old 軽瓶 rest in peace

if he was 重瓶 he could have made it

>>20997128
>a flower is a plant and also part of a plant
But a flower is not a part of a plant, it is the whole plant. It consists of parts of a plant, which by themselves are also not the plant.
If someone cut off a leaf from a rose (a leaf, not a petal) and presented it to you, you'd never call that leaf a rose, even if someone told you that it comes from a rose.

is it "you don't even know english" time

>>20997183
obv flower can mean the whole plant but if ur gonna be even more pedantic than that guy about the other meaning then be right
>the specialized part of an angiospermous plant that occurs singly or in clusters, possesses whorls of often colorful petals or sepals, and bears the reproductive structures (such as stamens or pistils) involved in the development of seeds and fruit : BLOSSOM

>>20997135
Why would you write three whole characters when you could write it with just two?

the more you open up your heart, the more enjoyment you will get out of everything

>>20997201
because all of those strokes would take forever to write

i honestly feel like im being massively trolled by the xiaovin shit still. like hes taking us all for a ride

its too on point every single time

>>20997249
yea i mean like i said even if he is a gimmick hes still "pretending to be retarded" but is still actually retarded as a result

i also refuse to believe hes real

>>20997242
I get that, but you can save a lot of space. The great thing about Japanese is how dense it is.

japanese hate 白人
everyone hate 白人
fuck 白人

>>20997119
Who doesn't like it?

>>20997249
>I delved into other stuff trying to get away from Japanese. I eventually landed on the right language for me.
how can anyone say something like this seriously before learning a single word of the language

>BoPoMoFo is.... A BITCH. There is no other to put it. The sounds are so freaking foreign to my ears, and some sounds so exactly the same. It is quite frustrating. I initially was going to rep 10 new cards a day from my deck. But screw that. I am gonna rep 5 new cards and day, and work on hammering in bopomofo is much as I possibly can. This needs more attention. Sitting down and repping them once a day and not touching it outside of that is not going to suffice. I know this is normal for someone just learning the sounds. But my god it is challenging. I'm gonna do my best with it, eventually I'm gonna get it. I WANNA MINE ALREADY!!!

>>20997901

i love noticing words like that where the meaning and reading are so obvious. they're like freebies

>>20997907

And even if both the reading and meaning weren't obvious, when will I be encountering this word in any of the material I read? I probably mined it from nhk easy or some shit like 5 months ago

Meditation

>>20998214
Take a step back and reevaluate. You can take a few days or a week off and think about your learning process holistically. What were your original motivations to start studying and are they still what motivates you? Where are you now compared to where you thought you'd be in terms of aptitude? What aspects of your learning approach are inhibiting you? If you reevaluate all these aspects you can come back fresh without the burden of whatever issues/expectations you previously set on yourself.

>>20998214
drop anki, watch more anime, read more porn, play more games

I'm at about the peak of what my brain can do while smoking 2-3 grams per day. Got through the entirety of my bachelors and now half my masters like this lol

so i wanna go into a bit more detail of what it feels like to get "high" off meditation. 耳を澄ませ

first a disclaimer, if you go into it "trying to get high" you're gonna fuck it up cause your attention will be on the desire/craving to "get high" rather than the actual concentration and awareness necessary to do so

anyway the actual practice of meditation involves concentrating on the breath, confronting whatever your mind poops out as you try to do so (theres a LOT of poop built up in there guys... years worth of constipation aka stuffed-down emotions), clearing that poop through nonjudgmental objective awareness, then returning focus to the breath. you do this over and over.

when your awareness becomes free enough of constipated mind-poop (like anxiety, boredom, distraction, random thoughts, anger, etc) you can access intense clarity and joy that legit feels better than or at LEAST as good as orgasms..... its a delightful tingling sensation you can feel spreading from the head/heart area, throughout the entire body

sometimes i just sit there soaking it in like a 10+ minute orgasm... i just did that earlier and i feel great. a sense of joy and lightness continued even after i got up.

What does that have to do with japanese?

>>20998498
>high
>meditation
not reading this stupid shit.

>>20998514
and you dont have to :)
you are free to do as you choose, random human

>>20998512
someone said don't get high it'll mess up your studying
other guy said he smokes 3 grams a day and it lowered his retention on anki
i said meditate and you can feel very good without mental fog and lowered retention

weed times over kiddos

I watched an EP of an anime with jp subs and I fully understood 75% of dialogue and in the rest I was missing like only one word and I don't know how to deal with actually understanding shit

its ok to just let the nihongo be and get it

its effortless u dont even have to try just be the dry sponge u want that water in u all u gotta do is get near it and it will be

>>20998606
thats fuckin awesome dude, good job. just let yourself feel good about it and keep going
what was the anime?

>>20998628
青の祓魔師/Blue Exorcist (2nd Season though), I'm reading the manga too so I know the weird magical words already, but it isn't too dense with those yet (the only one that ep had was the word for miasma).
I'm proud of myself :D I'll anki the sentences / words I didn't know and maybe watch it again later without subs.

>>20998657
imagine spending all this time studying japanese in order to watch the second season of blue fucking exorcist

>>20998606
How long have you been studying? Congrats

Nobody learns japanese to watch anime, dweeb, because literally 100% of them are translated.

hypothesis: there is a limit to how much you can "take in" a day. people only think reading 8 hours a day is better than reading 4 hours a day because they're smart enough to absorb all the information they take in during that 8 hours. there's a selection bias. in reality if every dekinai attempting to learn japanese started reading 8 hours a day they'd be too stupid to get more than 2 hours' worth of learning from it.

>>20998675
That's why I'm studying it. I'm not interested in eroge, manga or VNs.

>>20998674
Hard to tell, I stopped and paused a lot, so very inconsistent ... I learnt the basics about three years ago, but then didn't do anything for a year or so. So in total maybe about two years, but not as intense as I'm doing right now with regular anki.
I didn't take any of the JLPT, so I can't tell where I'm on that. Maybe high N4/low N3? I'm not too sure.

>>20998662
lmao no. It's just one of my favs and what I decided to pick as the first one to watch since I'm catching on to the manga.
Better than eroge anyway.

>>20998606
>with jp subs
without them you'd understand 25% or less

>>20998697
I don't believe you. What's the point? That's like learning English to read Harry Potter.
