/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[OPさん No.]

Nihongo thread. Talk about Japanese. Are you learning? If so, how good are you, how long have you been studying, and what method are you using to study?

I'm learning currently. I'm not too bad at Japanese, however I'm having a lot of trouble remembering some things, writing kanji and shit like that. I've been studying for a little over a year and a half, and I'm using my iPhone (kotoba dictionary app), talking with Japanese friends, textbook, and Japanese class.

Are absolute beginners allowed to join discussion?
Just learned Kana 2 week ago and have gone through a few chapters of Tae Kim so far
As someone who has studied for over a year, do you have any good tips/ learning materials you recommend? Or any good tips for Kanji or anything?

Anyone is allowed to join the discussion.
But apparently we aren't supposed to be here, which is ridiculous.
As for tips...I'd say you should really watch Gimmeaflakeman on youtube, and if you have an iDevice download kotoba. or if you have Japanese friends you should try to talk with them.

Just finished my first semester of japanese on college. So good so far. Pronunciation isn't a problem, since my native language is spanish.
As for methods, just going to class, doing my homework (mastered kana already), don't have any japanese friends to practice, but I do follow a lot of japanese people on twitter, so that helps a bit.
Also
>kotoba dictionary app
Best goddamn app on the itunes store, brofist.

I'd like to learn, but being in the middle of nowhere kind of doesn't help. The only Japanese class around here is in the overpriced college and I kinda suck at teaching myself.

Ahh, nice. I'll be taking Asian studies next year, although, I'm not sure how much it covers in language. I'm still waiting to see if I'll be accepted into Nagoya University of Foreign Studies.
And FUCK yeah, kotoba is by far the best Japanese app on the app store.

kanji tips:
- learn the radicals and their names
- break each kanji into chunks and radicals for easy writing
- learn how to guess at kanji readings and meanings from the parts its made of. ex: if it has 言 on the left, it almost always has to do with speaking. if it has 　寺 on the right, its probably read as じ, etc.

after that its strait up repetition. get an SRS like anki and a pad of graph paper. writing them as you say their on/kun readings outloud will help you remember it all as a package

it was more than enough to live in japan and deal with people on a daily basis. I can read any menu, make phone calls for reservations, watch tv and understand 90% of whats going on.
I can play my japanese games and watch my japanese animus all day erry day, so I dont really care :)
JLPT was the last level I took and passed, so its all that I will claim, but that was some time ago.

[Anonymous No.]

Look I'm going to be really nice and just give you the best advice before you waste your time. This really isn't the best board for discussing Japanese and it is not for Japanese. That is why people are being so negative.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7472266
that's all nice, but do you really think you are qualified to teach the language unless you are at least fluent in it? I'm not even saying this to belittle you, but imagine you are a student and you're paying someone to teach you Japanese and you found out that they're only intermediate level? I myself am about that level, lived in Japan for a year, yet I would never even think of teaching Japanese.

[Anonymous No.]

I was an airline pilot in Japan for two years and I can tell you right now that I sure met a lot of fucks like you thought they knew something about teaching Japanese and ended up only knowing what they learn't in 20 year old learning guides.

my Japanese teachers thought I was good enough to tutor and teach their beginner classes and assist on their advanced classes.
I can read big boy novels and speak bigboy words. considering most foreigners cant even handle babbys first kenjougo lesson, its never been an issue that I wasn't fluent-fluent. near-fluent was enough. - which isnt to say That I stopped studying, just that its less studying and more just picking up vocab at this point. japanese grammar is retardedly easy once you get the X particle Y. thing down :3

Shut the fuck up and go back to /b/.

Also, a lot of people on here not only live in Japan, have been doing for years but actually speak it. We are not interested in teaching or learning Japanese. This is a board for discussing Otaku-related topics. Not so fucking hard to understand.
