When did you stop trying to learn Japanese?

I stopped at 100 Kanji. I'm a failure at everything.

I use a SRS so even if I'm not learning anything new I technically haven't stopped so long as I do my repetitions every day.

>> No.2204040

I didn't, and now I'm currently reading G-Senjou no Maou

Enjoy your failure

50 kanji here.

I can read stuff in Japanese at least but I need to have a kanji dictionary open all the time.

>> No.2204043

I didn't really learn Japanese through rote or anything. Trying to memorise all of the general-use kanji like that might work for some people, but it would never work for me.

Never started. I pick up words as I go about normal Internet (i.e., 4chan) business but that's all that I seem compelled to want to do. I don't see myself looking at conjugation charts.

I know the kanji for "triple woman"

>> No.2204081

Still learning; I've got about 200-300 kanji down pat with another 100 or so that I know the meaning but not the pronunciation.

I've found that going through my old anime and Japanese live-action DVD's with both Japanese audio and subtitles helps a lot with kanji usage

Why's everyone rating themselves by the number of Kanji that they've learned? It's way more complex than that.

I'm in my third semester of Japanese right now. The going's getting a little tough, but I don't plan to stop.

I think you got that backwards, mate; nobody had any complaints until the "durr hurr shitty language" crowd rolled through.

I'll never understand why someone WOULDN'T want to learn another language; hell, Japanese will be my fifth language, following English, French, German and Latin.

You sure about that? I'm pretty sure it was the AMERIKKKAN BAKA NO LEARN JAPANESE shit.

Also, it's pointless. Knowing more than 1 language has nothing to do with intelligence. I don't plan on leaving America for my entire life, save for vacations. I'm not going to move to Japan, and I'm not going to BAWWW every time I can't read the kanji on a fucking hentai game. Eventually these elitist faggots will realize that their worth is not determined by how much they know about Japanese culture.

Because their priorities, tastes, and preferences are different from yours? Maybe?

I stopped trying to put effort into it a few years ago, but I kept watching anime and listening to music and so forth, until about a year ago I realized that's precisely what I should have been doing all the time: Immersing myself in the language.
