Finished a degree last year in German & Japanese.

I speak the language fairly well, but one thing I will say is that the above (having a degree in it) is not in any way indicative of that. In my experience at least Japanese classes are just as full of KAWAII DESU NE Narutards as you'd expect... the contrast I found in my German classes was remarkable. Japanese study groups were like working with special needs kids.

I don't believe it. It's impossible.

To be more precise, I started studying last April and studied a lot during the 9 months and passed the last winter's exam. I didn't mean I knew 5 kanji at the time of the test.

I'm thinking of pursuing a degree in Japanese. I'm in Jpn 102 right now and my classes are really great. I'd love to learn more but it seems like methods such as Heisig or AJAAT don't pair well with formal classes.

It's impossible because without knowing kanji you can not read the questions. Well. Without without knowing kanji you can not read the answers as well

Kanji took the most time since I had to learn about 5 new kanji every day during that time. So every other day I studied 10 kanji and on the next day reviewed them. The time that I had after kanji I spent on grammar and later on reading comprehension too.

I don't speak Japanese, but I can understand and read a fair amount. Started off with Heisig and Tae Kim, after which I've been playing eroge in Japanese every day for a few hours. Nowadays I can read pretty much any eroge no problem, except for clusterfucks like Railsoft games for which I need to look up words and kanji all the damn time.

I managed to raise my level from JLPT3 to JLPT2 in one year without studying extremely hard. I made fansubs (improving vocabulary and listening skills) and learned JLPT2-kanji when I had spare time. Then I read a whole episode of Umineko in Japanese, and my power-level went up with a few hundred kanji, and at the same time, I finally learned to read fluently.

mostly on my own with books and some help from forums, but I also attended classes at a university for a year and got some rare chances to speak with natives, too.

"read fluently" means that I can read the text and understand most of it without using the dictionary.

>> No.4625149

You can read easier shit fluently long before you are at JLPT1 level. Not Umineko or the like but more all-ages stuff will be fine.
