No, that's just a nice side effect. I am learning nip to avoid localizations that are becoming increasingly shit and filled with irrelevant garbage instead of at least trying to come close to the original meaning.

I'm a NEET so I'm focused on entrepreneurship first, JP can't be a priority for me now. A few years ago I spent a lot of time and I'm about N3 in kanji but N4.5 in listening and speaking. I wish I had spent more time on it when I was younger. It's crunch time for me so I try to spend all my time improving my marketable skills, but I still am not serious enough yet.

Trying. I've been doing lots of reading and stuff, and painstakingly translating Hentai to help too, but my internet's so bad watching anime/streams is a real chore that takes up a near entire chunk of my day. Wish me luck getting Starlink soon, bros. I WILL become multilingual, and learn as many languages as my little brain can fit.

Duo is good for basic stuff, but after a while you'll notice you're not learning as much. At that point you should just start doing things like anki for sheer vocab, and reading/listening when you can to continue making progress, otherwise you'll feel like you're treading water and not getting anywhere. I didn't catch onto that fast enough, and now my crowns are my shame.

[Anonymous No.]

>How're your Japanese reps coming along?
Way better than I thought they would. I need to find a way to actually speak with someone, because I have low confidence in my pronunciation. But listening comprehension and reading is going great. Even if I find a conversation partner, I am a little concerned for my vocabulary, though. Because of the material I am working with...

Do they publish any associated learning material for the JLPT? Like “know these words” or “be able to read this”? I had to take a break for uni and I was hoping to get back into it before I go into Japanese 4 next semester

what? no

they are just using it due to chinese cultural influence, don't give me that homophones bull or pure hiragana is difficult to read either they solely use it because muh tradition

literally every chinese dependency that used chinese characters from vietnam to korea dropped that shit after gaining political independence because there's no reason to use something retarded like that unless you're a fuckhueg polity like china with a bazillion of "dialects" which are literally different mutually unintelligible languages unified by a script everyone understands because it's not sound based

the japanese are literally the only people outside china still retarded enough to continue using a chinese derived logographic script which is especially ironic since at no point in history where they controlled by china unlike everyone else who used their writing system

I'm making slow progress. I'm okay at reading as long as I have a dictionary but I'm still shit at listening. I can at least understand asmr well enough but my brain still needs too much time to think through the grammar to be able to understand most spoken Japanese fast enough, even if the vocab used is stuff I know. Probably need to put more time into learning the grammar properly and actually use the scentence flash cards I added to anki then barely used.

Learning to understand the actual language is harder than just memorizing a bunch of kanji, no one who whines like this ever bothered to actually try learning japanese .

[Anonymous No.]

I committed the first 2 weeks of the year to anki and set aside 30 minutes everyday in my planner but like always the drive to learn burnt out and I can't follow a schedule for shit.
I have a hard time memorising hiragana and really pissed at myself because I can't concentrate and just memorise this in a week.

solution to what?

i'm just pointing out that the notion that the japanese language is rendered unusable without kanji to be completely wrong, they could've reformed their writing system to drop kanji without much problem (there were actually proponents of that during the meji era, and replacing kanji with romaji was even goverment policy during the US occupation funnily enough) just like everyone else who used chinese characters did
