Not the guy you responded to, but I'll explain, as the teacher of the aforementioned French lolis.

You will have to excuse my vagueness as it is way past bedtime for me.

For most of the 20th century, the common approach to language teaching was to translate the student's first language directly into the second one, and to teach them that way. So, for example, to teach a French person English vocabulary, you'd teach them "pomme is apple" and shit.

Towards the end of the 20th century a bunch of guys basically realised that this was a bad thing, because it meant that nomatter how good the students got, they'd always be thinking in their original language first and translating as they went. So someone came up with the idea of teaching language to someone as if they didn't know ANY LANGUAGES AT ALL; like a child would learn. Rather than associating "apple" with its equivalent in French or whatever, they'd actually show an apple, or let the student touch an apple, while learning the word "apple."

>> No.900949

>>900662
who's that?

>> No.900950

The examples I used are for vocabulary, but it applies across the board.

There is a very strong case for it being the best method of learning a language, especially when it comes to grammar. However, it is an OH SO CONVENIENT CONSEQUENCE of this being the "prevailing" language learning method that we can have a booming private sector where people become qualified in teaching their OWN first language, then travel around the world to countries they've never even been to teaching it to people there.

In short, there's truth to it. It's a good method. But it's also a product of convenience so that the rest of the world has a constant supply of English teachers, and so that people like me can fill those vacancies without having to learn another language before I go anywhere.

For those who had no idea somehow; this is also a really, really good method of getting to Japan, if you so desire. There are so many opportunities in Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam right now that it's not even funny; they can't recruit enough teachers to fill the vacancies.

I will never find a significant other.

I came to 4chan initially escape this crushing reality, and talk about animu and mango in an environment that wasn't animesuki. Yet everywhere I look on 4chan these days i *am* being constantly reminded of this crushing reality. Anonymous never used to talk about his girlfriend or what position he prefers in bed, did he? Anonymous didn't used to chat with 'femanon' about what the best dating tactics were at a club? Anonymous didn't used to call somebody a 'weeaboo' for advising someone to watch Cowboy Bebop.... Or did he?

I mean, is it me, or is 4chan now just a place for pretty 'cool' people to hang out and chat about sex, relationships and partying?

I feel at home with you guys though.

But it genuinely feels like they're invading OUR territory. /v/ isn't so bad as it's just 100% trolling, and /a/, for all their flaws, still wouldn't tolerate OPs girlfriend. But I still get the impression the rest of the boards are populated by (with perhaps the exception of /a/) socially well adjusted people with girlfriends, active sex lives and who would find the idea of a 20 year old virgin quite shocking.

Because it lowers the tone of any ronery thread (yeh, yeh I know...) and the only purpose in people doing it is to get an ego boost of being 'Mr. I-Know-All-The-Answers'. Also, a lot of the tripfags are of the 'HURRR I DEFY THE 4CHAN STEREOTYPE! SHIT WAS SO CASH!' kind.

And finally.

Telling people they've 'gotta be [themselves]' or 'gotta have confidence' is not advice. It's just spewing out buzzwords.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those faggots telling people that they've gotta be 'confident' only ended up in a relationship by luck anyway, and they want to decieve themselves into thinking that chance played no role, and it was all their 'smooth charisma' or something.

I find normalfags/newfags increasingly difficult to tolerate and put up with. I can put up with them for a few hours at a time, but I really need a break afterwards. Even in places where you expect to find fewer of them they appear everywhere. You think they might be suppressing, but then you realise that they have nothing to suppress.

This is the problem with being raised/cultured by the internet. Of course even on the net there's no escape, what with Summer and all. At least Futaba/2ch/and the likes at least has a smaller problem of geographic dispersal. They also seem to have fewer raging newfags, but maybe that's just my perception.

Effectively, just tell people to do things for themselves if you're actually serious about it.

If somebody who is fat wants to work out for example. Their primary motivation should be for THEMSELVES!

Well, I did say that we were together for six years. Whenever I reached the breaking point and started to think about breaking up with her, she'd somehow be able to sense it and she'd flip right around.
Suddenly, I became the most wonderful person in the world and just the sight of me would make her go all weak. She'd do whatever I wanted and often without me even having to ask for it. It would be just like when we first started dating. Amazing. Those pink backgrounds with white translucent bubbles you see in the anime are true.

Usually, when people look at me, they're just looking at a facade. How I look at any given moment is a direct reflection of the people around me. If I stick out too much, someone might approach me. I can't let that happen. If I'm in a group of loud people, I'll be loud too. If everyone else is laughing at crude jokes, I'll laugh as well. I was always changing, like a chameleon, just so I could keep away from small talk. But one of the most amazing feelings is being with a girl who can see straight through that facade. She knows you dislike small talk, so she avoids confronting you. And yet, she's always nearby, in case you feel like having a menial conversation about the weather, or how the leaves look gently drifting to the ground. She knows that you don't want other people's help, so she'll try to stay out of the way. But when you're down, she'll be the first one to hold out her hand. When you walk in the park during autumn, she wouldn't ask if she could tag along with you, rather, she'd just walk alongside you without consent, without a word. She wouldn't say anything, but she would lightly hold your arm, and give a gentle smile toward you. And as you walked in the cool, brisk afternoon with her, leaves falling around you like snow, you'd feel your stress, your worries, and your fears slowly melt away. Your mouth would slowly tug at its corners, a sensation that you may have long forgotten. You'd take a look at her face, the warm face that was smiling at the simple treasure of life itself. And after all this time, you could finally feel yourself returning a genuine smile as well.

>Bawwwww /a/ moves too fast so I can no longer be the center of attention.

The only thing I hate more than /b/ cancer is the people bitching about /b/ cancer. Protip: with the exception of /b/ none of the boards on 4chan became bad. 4chan just became old. What was unique and funny in 2004 is no longer funny nowadays. The templates that we've created for 4chan is old.

For example: "Get back to gaia, tl;dr, lurk moar, sauce, I love lolis and incest." It just got old. And no I'm not just talking about the memes. I'm talking about the Futaba software, I'm talking about the win threads, etc...

Despite all of that, I'll never stop posting on /a/. I've been on /a/ for almost 4 years now. My first post was in 2004. Do you seriously believe I can drop /a/ for /jp/ a board that doesn't even follow the topics that I care about. /jp/ is only good for 5 or more visual Novels. Then it's dead. /a/ on the other hand has endless potential. Yesterday i just watched Gunbuster and Diebuster. Shit was so cash. But let me guess, you're a dumbfuck from /b/ who doesn't care about animu. Amirite?

Normalfag doesn't actually have to include normality. It's more about the internet posturing and shitposting. It really doesn't matter whether or not you have a girlfriend or whatever as long as you're not fucking talking about it on 4chan. It's not as if in those halcyon days of yore everyone was a severely fucked up ronery basement dweller. Even back then there were unvirgins and people that were relatively "normal" offline, but they were also proper 4channers so you wouldn't know it.

The cycle will end with me. My favourite thing about myself is that I can feel everyone else's failure, but I can't feel mine. Everything is so simpler that way. If I take in all of the bad things (sadness, anger, hopelessness) away from everyone else and just hide it away in my mind's corner, life would be peachy.

ITT typical casual animu fans who love Touhou. Well I guess I can understand why you like Touhou so much. I'd probably like Touhou's generic characters too; had i only seen a handful of animus.

So let me get this straight. If you no longer browse /a/. Where do you talk about your animu at? I also find it strange how a person who has browsed /a/ for 3 or 4 years can just suddenly decide that he no longer cares about it. Which leads me to my next conclusion. You've probably only been on 4chan for a year. /jp/ was probably your first board. But if all of the aforementioned things are untrue then I guess that just makes you a butthurt l33t veteran.
