DJT is a Japanese language 勉強スレ for anyone interested in the language, anime, manga, visual novels, light novels and Japanese video games. Japanese speakers learning English are welcome, too.
>I noticed the previous thread was archived >I looked for the new DJT from the catalog >two DJT exist, one was made by a German user, one was made by an Israeli user. so, which should I get in?
>This thread was made 2 minutes earlier, and the other one has no posts I see.
>ドイツくん、君のスレを消してください I remember correctly, once a thread was made, no one can delete it except mods, so we have no choice, but to wait for the other one to be archived.
>I remember correctly *if I remember correctly oops, I messed it up.

I think the OP can delete a thread, though I'm not sure

What's a good way of listening/reading the sort of common language you'd encounter among people our age (young adults, basically)?
>Textbooks are great, but they only cover the underlying grammar of the language, not so much the everyday form people use. >Anime, manga, light novels and all other stuff in this category use exagerrated and generally simple language. >Online Japanese is excessively lingo-based. It's nice that a lot of stuff on Twitter and across various comment sections reads like Jow Forums threads, but I'm fairly certain people don't call everyone fags, riajuus, and so on in everyday conversation. >What I'm left with are movies/shows, but I'm weary of these becaue that was a clear way to disaster in English. >Books seem nice, but no way I could manage to read through one without a lot more personal time with vocabulary practice. Not counting the fact I'd love to read through a real book and getting one written in Japanese over here involves buying and shipping stuff from Japan.
Any advice on this one? The guide refers to finding a person to chat with online. However, I don't want to waste someone else's time this way and I've learned to speak English just fine without any pen pals.
