/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Can I still read and write English?

I'd take the deal regardless probably.

Is the Wizard in question the bird in your picture?

If the answer is yes, then of course.

Otherwise I wouldn't trust him.

>>3878928
You understand English as well as you can speak it, poorly.

That might actually improve /jp/'s command of english.

But the Japanese can pronounce R.
Is this wizard going to turn me into a new englander or something? I can't think of many worse fates.
Guess I'll go pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd and then cry myself to sleep.

Hell no.

>>3878950
I've heard japanese people who can only seem to pronounce R and ones who can only seem to pronounce L, so it can go either way, I think.

Either way... I don't think I'd take it.

Does full fluency inculde Kanji? Because if so I might. Since god damnit learning Kanji takes way too much motivation for me ever really get the job done.

Also what about my other language skills? As long as my German skills are intact learning English (again) wouldn't be much of a problem.

Sure, learning english back seems a lot easier than learning japanese from close to non-existant.

No second thoughts, yes. English entertain doesn't amuse me any more anyway

>>3878950
That's only Boston, son. The rest of us Massholes can pronounce Rs just fine

>>3878921
No deal, I'd rather work for it. Already halfway there.

>>3879015
meh got dem NIHONGOS down pretty good already

>>3879005
Includes Kanji. Though for fairness, the wizard might take out your german instead of english.

Naw, I like knowing English and Norwegian, so I can be understood by my peers.

The only loss from taking this offer is not being able to tell you guys about my awesome offer. So I guess it's alright.

>>3879125
When did all the Norwegians move to /jp/?
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY ONE!

>>3879079
So he'd take away my native language? If so, definitely. Japanese is much more useful than Finnish.

>>3879137

I know I wouldn't.

Yes, english is fucking easy.

>>3878921
I wouldn't

My japanese is good enough

>>3879182
And I need good RRRRRsss to speak my glorious langage which is better than Norwegian...

>>3879137
Wait, if it would take away my native language, I don't care.
I don't NEED Norwegian, I mean, my brain operates in English anyway.
Yes, I choose YES!

>>3879071
Nazi-german bird cooking jews

>>3879793
Nazi Bird Cooking You

I would immediately kill the wizard,
eat his flesh and steal his magical powers.

I live in America. That would just reduce my English speaking to country standard. Of course I would choose yes.

>>3879137
>give up Finnish

>>3879072
Spoiler: This guy was actually visited by a wizard and accepted the deal.

ME DEAL YES SAY

I'd do it. Who on /jp/ cares about spoken english anyway?

A wizard offers to permanently turn you into a little girl, but the transformation will impart penalties:

-4 Str
-2 Dex
-3 Con
-2 Int
-2 Wis

-5 to all skill rolls
-3 to all saving throws
Permanent level drain equivalent to losing 25% of your total aquired experience.

Do you accept?

>>3879869
Remove the INT/WIS penalties and I'm game.

>>3879869
Where's my +5 Cha?

>>3879869
But that would put my strength in the negatives.

>>3879883
It is all part of being a girl.

>>3879869

>-4 str

I see what you did there.

>>3879888

Standard peasant strength is 9-10, so you should still be good.

>>3879869

-5 to all skill rolls? But everyone here doesn't have any skills. And with what the attributes will be after that, they'll be rolling with high negatives on everything.

Unless the idea is to make us a clumsy loli, I suppose.

>>3879869
Accepted, because I am already have high str/con/dex and int/wis, however I'm going to die.

"Permanently" a little girl? Immortal loli?

Plenty of time to get back the stat deductions.

>>3879869
-4 str, +2 dex, -2 con, -2 int, -2 wis, +4 cha
Lose half your levels. If you were level 1, instead lose an extra 1 con.
Your size is reduced by 1/2, as per Reduce Person. Your gender changes to female.

Really, the skill penalty you propose is ridiculous considering they get a penalty to most skills just from losing levels and most of the stat penalties. Likewise, the saving throw penalties.

So no change in my english skills?

>>3878921
I offer the wizard a blow job and get the proper package deal of understand english, japanese and being the little girl all at once.

How does this make you feel /jp/?

>>3879949
I am the wizard.
Feels gay, man.

>>3878921
Ask him what it would take for him to give me the powers of shapeshifting and eternal life instead.

>>3879005
Kanji? It took me 50 days to learn 2000+ of the kanji. The language itself is taking me a damn well longer than that, so I don't see the difficulty with kanji.

>>3879137
Jep, samoilla linjoilla.

>>3880529
>2000 kanji
>50 days

Not even the offer of the Japanese language can convince me to part with my prodigious command of the English language.

Yes. Without a doubt in my mind.

>>3879079
If so definitely, screw German, it's pretty damn useless anyways.

>>3880529
You've got some sort of a photographical memory?

>>3880613
>>3880640

40 a day * 50 = 2000
Some people learn pi to millions decimal places so I don't see what's so amazing about it in comparison

>>3880643
Either you're a heisigfag or you're full of shit.

>>3880643
true, however those people aren't going to be bothered to memorize 2000 kanji.

I'm a heisigfag minus the mnemonics. Mnemonics are stupid.

To anyone who taught themselves to a decent level, how long did it take you to be able to understand anime/read VNs/read the newspaper/read novels/etc.?

Right now my vocabulary's around the 2000 mark and I'm cramming for when I visit my penfriend in March like a a good contrived language textbook character. This is the Heisigfag by the way.

No
English is a much more known language than Japanese.
