>>335677358
Japanese gaming culture focuses on different genres than Western games.There's a reason why Western gamers play FPS games more and Japan plays arcade or dating sims more, because it relates to public appeal and want we as gamers want. My games might be censored but at least I'm not playing any hentai dating bullshit

>>335677358
because I'd need a reason to learn it first
I don't know any good games, anime or manga that haven't been translated yet
even Atlus games get localized and translated after 6 months at most and I can wait that period of time
I'd be sad if I was a nintendrone falling for NOA memes but thankfully the first and last Nintendo console I owned was the NES 22 years ago
Somebody post the greenbelt of the weebshit learning Japanese to go and become a teacher or game developer in Japan.
I'd rather learn anything else but Japanese fuck what an atrocious sounding language.
I learned it, never used it, and lost it.
That's what I get for giving up weeb stuff to be a normie. Could probably pick it back up quickly, though.
>>335677358
Fuck off to /a/ already.
>>335678603

>>335680284
didn't the japanese use kanji first?
i think it pretty much has to do with the japanese having a really hard time dropping tradition
if it's meant to stop baka gaijin from learning it then they've succeeded
>>335677358
I've learned up until N4 level, but then I had to stop due to working my ass off to graduate. Japanese is a fun language and its interesting to watch something Japanese thats subtitled while being able to understand it too. Certain translators have... interesting translations.
>>335677358
I can make my own uncensored games, no need for nippon for that
>>335680284
Kanji are piss easy and in 99% of circumstances, only help you.
The few dumb exceptions are easy enough to learn and hardly worth complaining about.
If you'd spent any time with the language, you'd know that kanji aren't an issue. vocab is, and it'd be a fucking MESS without kanji.
電車, 下車, 駐車, see something in common? Oh, it's the fucking kanji for vehicle, and it means vehicle every time. Without it, what would you be left with? しゃ? Oh, do you mean 校舎? Or 注射? Because all of those fucking words use しゃ too, and 注射 is even pronounced the same as 駐車. You want to use the same word for injection and parking? Be my fucking guest, you clueless retard.
>>335678603
Wanikani or anki. Both are great tools. Kanji is extremely easy and actually the most readible of the three when you encounter new words.
Barely any good japanese games.
Anime get subtitles.
>>335680514
>I've learned up until N4 level
>its interesting to watch something Japanese thats subtitled while being able to understand it too.
Pick one. N4 is "I can count to potato" tier, being able to pick out "sugoi" doesn't make you smarter than a fucking translator. Keep kicking up a shitfit when they use "neat" instead of "amazing!" in their localisation job.
>>335677358
>Why haven't you learned Japanese yet?
Because it's one of the most useless languages to learn unless you're specifically aiming to get a job in Japan? I mean, if you have the time and resolve to learn Japanese just for video games go for it, but it's silly considering only Japanese people speak it and it has zero use everywhere else.

You seem to be confused, that goes for every other language other than English and Japanese. They're all meaningless unless you want to move to a new country.
Japan has this magical thing called entertainment, which they produce by the boatload because getting the odd hollywood blockbuster translated doesn't really scratch the itch.
Learning German, or French? Why? They have nothing to offer. At least Japan has shows you can watch, and games you can play.
I can understand if you personally don't want to spend time learning a language. But using the "it's useless" excuse doesn't make sense when it's objectively the most useful language after English.
But I have, I passed my N1 and I'm working in Tokyo, earning 3x the national average full time salary.

Kana-only vocab is far more annoying. If you actually tried to study Japanese you'd appreciate how much the visual cues of kanji help in remembering vocabulary.

They can be naturally learned if you actually spend some time living in Japan. English has something similar as well, like "a piece of paper", "a bottle of water". Stop exaggerating.

I'm taking a Japanese class right now because I want to play old famicom games and shit on the console. Don't really care about anime, though if I got gud enough to import modern Japanese games that would be pretty cool.
Language and communication is fucking incredible. A year ago hiragana and katakana (and some kanji) symbols were mere lines that meant nothing to me, but now I can look at them and piece together words and sentences, and if you don't think that's the tightest shit thenw-why not?
I took German in high school too. That was also a lot of fun. You don't have to have any reason to learn a language other than that.

The English language gets along fine with words that have multiple meanings. It's all about the context they're used in.
When I say 'Tom throws the ball' people know I mean the verb 'to throw' and not a type of rug or the word 'throes'.
Anyway, the question: there's very few things I'm interested in that are only in Japanese. I don't like most RPGs, strategy games, card games or VNs. What would be the point?

They had no writing system at all before Chinese bestowed their glorious Hanzi upon them.
You can theoretically remove kanji, but it makes reading a chore. Take Pokemon as example. Since gen 5 you can play either with kanji or kana-only. The latter is way more tedious to read for anyone who isn't a Japanese child as they are fluent in spoken Japanese but not quite good at reading yet.

Whatever you have motivation to learn will be easier because the studying won't feel quite as much like suffering.

It doesn't matter. Whatever pitiful course you're taking is so easy that a retard could pass it with 5 minutes of self-study a day, so your inability to manage that means that you have zero chance of learning Japanese.
Passing or failing this test means nothing, because you'll forget everything you learned like a man trying to drink from a sieve.
>>335684610
Because practice makes perfect
How can you improve at speaking if you have nobody to speak to
I visited Spain for a few months and you'd be surprised how fast you pick up a language when you're surrounded by it
>>335684662
literally means "no"
>>335684662
Shows possessive noun.
Think of it as a simple 's added to the noun.
>>335684662
It's the Hiragana for "no". It's a genitive particle if it stands on it's own but in this case it's "sono" which (roughly translated) means "this"
>>335684419
Anon, everywhere squirting = pissing.
No anon, that wasn't an orgasm, that was piss.
She pissed on you, anon.
You are a bitch, anon.
Now suck on me cock, bitch.
>>335684610
Recognition vs production. Even in your mother language there are some rare or outdated words that you wouldn't normally use yourself but understand.
It mostly depends on how often do you encounter each word. You need to see/hear a word in context a few times before you will start using it comfortably yourself.
>>335684662
It adds possession
Like turning king and crown into king's crown, the no indicates that the king owns that crown. They use it for everything like that guy's sweater, guy no sweater. You get the point.
>>335684610

Maybe its just the most humiliating thing and while being a lot less disgusting than being shat on.
I still can't bring myself to finish grammar books. I need something more interactive. Are there games that can teach grammar?
>>335684662
のんの
>>335684662
basically the equivalent of "of", but used in reverse
the mouth of the loli of that
>>335684686
see this is why i dont like people who speak japanese as a second language
>>335684187
Those numbers are so exaggerated they barely even apply to simplified Chinese.
By the time you learn 2000 kanji, your odds of encountering something you don't know are close to zero.
It's true for vocab, though. That ride never ends. Ironically, I actually picked up a few new English words when studying Japanese.
>>335684172
Holy fucking shit, that's beautiful.
Japan really is heaven. Was that a shop or something?
>>335684746
>sono
>means "this"
That's "kono", you stupid fucking weeb cunt. Sono means that.
>>335684686
You're mean Onii-Chan
Is Japanese like Yoda speak? Like backward and mixed up.
>>335684419
Nah, not during orgasm.
Like a girl is pissing while people are looking at her and this is supposed to be hot because she's embarrassed.
>>335684860
Don't forget ano
>>335684860
The only difference between sono and kono is how far away from you the thing you want to describe is.
>>335677358
>learning a worthless island gook language
>>335684891
Nah, it's more like free form.
There's the verb at the end ( when there's a verb ) but aside from that, it can be all over the place no problem.
Japanese should have done something like Koreans and invented a simple alphabet to stick to. The kanji system is made for Chinese and is retarded for other languages.
>muh tradition
>>335684746
But の is a particle even in その. Never saw 其の? You know, 其 + の.
Also it's dubious to claim その is "this". In most cases the appropriate English is gonna be "that".
If anything you should explain it exactly like it's explained in Japanese, that's how it actually works.
>>335684894
That's fucking retarded, just makes their women seem nothing more than infantile fuck toys
>>335684945
"I want this" vs "I want that". Same fucking concept, weeblord.
Ive tried twice. Know hira and katakana and about 30 kanji. But cant make a push to learn the first 1k or so. I had a bunch of flashcards on my phone but i got a new phone
>>335684945
The only difference between this and that is how far away from you the thing you want to describe is.
>>335684960
This
Like you can say "Work is done" or "Done, work is."
Russian allows for this too
>>335684984
Are you implying women are anything more than infantile fuck toys ?
>>335684891
Lots of languages sound really stranger when translated.Like how some have words thats meaning can change entirely on context.
>>335684891
No, it's not.Stop using TextFugu.

its actually kinda sad
I really want to start learning.
Any tips?
>>335685057
Well you can speak it backwards if you want
Like..
太陽はあいつだ (Taiyou ha atsui da) or あつい、太陽は。 (Atsui da, taiyou ha.
>>335684891
It definitely contrasts with languages that act in the opposite way like Arabic (MSA), which makes a sentence like
>b-back dat ass up
into
>forsooth I declare my want for thine fine posterior upon my nethers god willing
I guess Japanese can sound a bit more like caveman speak when you translate it literally but it's just the grammar being lost in translation.
>>335684843
Yes, it's a fetish café in Japan. I paid the girls to abuse me and then I fucked them.
>>335685125
i like how they always think it's a perfect, flawless language too
>>335685157
japanese? don't learn it
pick up an instrument or something instead
Does anyone have a link to the google document thing?
>>335685125
They speak English in both.
You're not going to learn another languages just so the natives will compliment you, right?
>>335685157
Only start if you're really ready to dedicate 2-3 years of your free time.
>>335684984
No shit, retard.
>>335684686
>why aren't you learning Japanese?
>you can't learn Japanese
Then why even make the fucking thread then, fucknut. (I know you're probably not the OP but the point stands)
>>335685178
fucking misspelled atsui and aitsu, kek
But you get my point
>>335685084
How do you do the small characters when using japanese IME?
Small tsu is just repeating the consonant after, but when it comes to others I'm completely lost.
Not that you generally need it, but it would be nice to know.
>>335685231
>>335685239
T-thanks
>>335681353
You don't necessarily need to do boring repetitions, you can just use your knowledge of the language to play games, read manga, etc.
>>335685021

I have read enlish translations of russian books and vice versa, and translations lose a lot of nuance, I'd rather learn another euro language to get access to literature, movies - art in the language it was written in, rather than learn japspeak for an occasional animu
>>335685238
>more disregard for the cultural wealth of Europe
>languages are only for speaking to people
Statistically you're still wrong which is funny, less than half in either country can speak English on a conversation level, especially France.

The point of that post wasn't to say "you can't learn Japanese".
It was to say "you aren't currently learning Japanese". The hope is that a post like that might convince you to go "holy shit, this guy is right", and either shit or get off the pot. Sitting there, going through the motions while not actually learning anything of value, is just a waste of your own time.
Anyone can learn Japanese, but you aren't going to manage it while worrying about your fucking kanji exam. You should be so far ahead of the class that a kanji exam takes you 2 minutes to finish.

Don't listen to those fucks; yes it's time consuming and long but it's very rewarding and you always feel like you make progress.
If you enjoy learning and you like Japanese softcore pornography media learning Japanese is a nobrainer.

Thanks, that's a good start.
Reminder that you will unlearn everything over time unless you constantly practice the language.

You don't tend to actually say "you" in japanese, it's rude typically, anata is sometihng said to husbands by wives or to subordinates by bosses.
