i wonder where best american went
Japanese is fun as hell to speak
hmm
for me, speaking korean is fun
I’m learning Korean rn
my mother's zainichi kankokujin
wtf you call me chinese BITCH
so i know a handful of korean, only speaking. writing and reading is hard
ir uim f
Hoo
but to be honest its easier to learn how to read kanji than it is memorizing how to write it
so, unless youre pursuing japanese as a proffessional sort of thing dont sweat over kanji
Really
I gave up on kanji
yeah
bitch
I learned it for 4 years and never retained any kanji
when i was in elementary manga was what helped me gain a lot of my kanji literacy(only reading)
because of the furigana
and how those words are what people use a lot in everyday speech
For part of our final last year we had to translate a japnese newspaper which was 70% kanji
there are kanji proficiency tests and even natives struggle to pass the higher level tests.
Unless they have hiragana translations I have no idea how I’m supposed to figure out the meaning
furigana?
Yep
oh
🤔
im not a very bright student with laid out study guides
can't help you that much
Korean looks like fun though
its very similar to japanese
I’m only learning it because most of my friends are Korean and it would be top bants
Also I could just put another language on my resume for the meme
it drives me nuts when someone screams "weeb" at the top of their lungs when they see anyone or anything related to japan
even japanese people watch anime
and sing to japanese songs, they even sing to american songs
whats the big deal? 🤔
Weeb
I mean what you're describing is obviously misplaced disgust, but a kid being almost exclusive into media from the island of japan is pretty pathetic, and just turns one into a bore to talk to.
its one thing to get lost in the rabbit hole for a few years but I question the mental health of anyone who can't bring themselves to consume anything else
