Japan tends to think of everyone as being completely fucking ignorant. You can hold a fluent conversation with them, yet they will be surprised when you can write something like 勉強. You can tell them you've lived in Japan for two years, and they will ask you if you have ever heard of お正月. It's like they think you have holes in your brain or something where certain information just never takes hold.

>>7478662
Possibly this as well, but Japan does it for just about anyone who isn't asian (and then only to a lesser degree)

Well, tourists are one thing, but just for once I'd like to be given the benefit of the doubt. So tired of people trying to mumble out strange English sentences (one person even wrote some stuff on a napkin before talking to me) before realizing I can speak Japanese and breathing a sigh of relief. Why didn't they at least TRY Japanese first?

You do have a point though. I went to the library nearby at an international school where there are English teachers from America or England or wherever, and I was working on a paper. Some fat 40something bitch walks up to the desk, and starts complaining about how her computer doesn't work and she's "Not a liar, it wasn't working before, now I know you think I'm a liar". And she just went on and on about how she needed a new computer, blah blah blah. The librarians didn't seem to speak hardly any English and someone had to come out of the back to calm this lady down. Didn't speak a single word of Japanese during the entire exchange. I mean, she has to know SOME, right? How the fuck can you live in a country long enough to hold a steady job and not learn at least a little bit of the language? Fuck. Kind of losing my original train of thought but these people just piss me off so much.

>(first paragraph)
Because learning all the idioms, grammar, and other shit in all the main varieties of English would take so much of a person's mind and effort, that they couldn't possibly fit another language in there, much less a language with 4000 plus "symbols" in it. So there's no way a proper Anglophone can be expected to know Japanese.

That's kind of funny. I learned myself all the high school kanji in like 1,5 months (yes via Heisig hurr durr I don't know them) and I can pretty much work my way through eroge after 4 months without too much of a hassle. I have no idea why the Japs don't use Heisig's method to study kanji, instead they repeat them like a mindless drones for hours on end so it takes them 18 years to get it down. Then again their language is hardly as difficult for foreigners as they would like to think, I imagine it's much harder for them to learn a foreign language because theirs has such a simple syntax.

Because it's a placebo and you haven't learned anything. Also, you obviously didn't understand the point of Heisig because it's goal is not to teach you to understand any Japanese words, or something, and anyone who expects otherwise is just ignorant. Clearly you've done something wrong.

Why did you even bring that up?

I just knew *this* guy would show up again. And no Heisig is not a placebo, the fact that memories are easily retrieved if associated with images and/sound has been established by science. After Heisig I grinded readings via contextual vocabulary, which was easy as shit to remember because I already knew the chinese meaning of the kanji. I understand that the fact that it probably took you much longer to get to a same level because you're too stubborn to try anything non-orthodox must be frustrating, but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on people that have.

>>7481242
What bait? I actually did acquire an acceptable level of reading fluency in that time by spending atleast 3 hours everyday on vocab grinding in addition to immersing myself with only Japanese. Also academics and learning in general have always been my forté so it's no surprise I would progress that fast.

Well, regardless of "correct/incorrect" methods, I do believe that Japanese students as well learn some degree of kanji disection by radicals. It's not heisig exactly, but I think the biggest thing one can take from heisig is the ability to think in terms of radicals and the relations therein.
