is katakana used anywhere? seems like hiragana (and kanji obviously) is the only set anyone would need to read most stuff

>> No.9131750

game menus, engrish and non-japanese names.

You're right. It's absolutely not used anywhere. They should just get rid of the whole thing.

>> No.9131756

It's used for loanwords and other foreign shit.

Why do people always look for excuses to try and not learn Katakana

It takes barely any time.

>> No.9131767

Katakana is primarily used for transcritption of foreign words. Though it is becoming more frequent to just use the latin letters it is still used.

Just like I know every single touhou character without writting their names down, I don't need to write every katakana to know them. I just need to have a glanse at 15 per day. That's enough to know all of them.

Talking about learning Japanese. I was thinking about taking the Noken this December, but I wanted to check if I was able to finish N3 in the established time (I think I'm too slow reading yet), or I should take it easy and go for N4. Sadly, I can't seem to find any old tests. Can you help me?

>> No.9134179

are capital letters really necessary? i'm sure learning english would be a lot easier if we only used lowercase.

On an unrelated note, to say 'the company A is working at', would it be acceptable to say:

Ａは働いての会社

Nope.

I don't think so. It should be something like:
