Simply ”増やす” is a natural collocation.
So this would be correct?

Have you had any benefits from learning Japanese other than watching anime and consuming porno?
The largest benefit that English gave me was maybe being capable to communicate with you here, other than that, I think I have been seeing other people who know less about English than me being more successful in their lives than me.
I don't care about benefits or whatever, I just do it because I want to

Don't Japs spend year learning English at school?
As of now Japanese start taking English in school during 5th grade and take it until 12th grade. So that's 7 years of English in school.
20 years ago there was no mandatory English education in schools yet though, it only got introduced gradually.
So they really shouldn't be making mistakes like this.
You'll have to ask someone actually Japanese about this, but from what I've seen over the years most of their English education used to be quite weird and focused on single vocabulary items, abstract grammar exercises and filling in blanks in text like some user posted recently.
I'm not sure if there is a huge focus on reading and listening comprehension or any sort of conversation practice.

>Have you had any benefits from learning Japanese
No and I most likely never will, like most people here.
It only harmed me so far, if you tell people you learn Japanese they think you are a cringy weeb.
If you tell a girl your hobby is learning Japanese, she thinks you are wasting time learning a useless skill.
People are like
>b-but I'll go to Japan and live there
but in the end maybe 1 out of 100 really make it.

What do you consider benefits? Professional benefits? I'm not looking for any. They might arise when I ever get good enough but it's not the goal here. I guess I have met some very interesting people because of Japanese and had the chance to visit Japan a couple of times. That's already enough.
That 1 is going to be me, deadass
Currently you are wasting more time on whining here
we spend at least 6 years studying English at junior and senior high school in Japan. Also, as a German user already mentioned, the mandatory English education aimed at 5th and 6th grade elementary schoolers is scheduled to start in 2020.
but yeah, as you guys know, our English education is terrible as fuck, so we end up learning English from the ground up on our own if we want to learn "real" English.
Kind of, I've met a lot of Japanese who are very nice people but on average I'm never sure if they want to be friends because I can off English practice or not. But it's taught me routine and how to study a subject seriously. Plus just the overall enjoyment of the language is enough sometimes. Even just the satisfaction that I know several times more than the average person thinks is even possible to learn. I used to bring it up in conversation but not anymore unless it's someone I've gotten to know. It's not like most people even bother learning skills at all so what I care what I waste my time on?
Finally I can learn it freely, I think many Japanese learn English because they feel they must learn to advance in work, get that TOIEC or IELTS score.
Sounds like the French program in Canada. They only people who come out of grade school with French ability are those who live in parts of the country where it's spoken or have an active interest.
So were you able to look at that page and immediately see that the English was nonsense?

Yes you are.
Japanese test on Thursday. Trying to test out of JAP 101 and 102. From what I can tell, I basically just need to know what's in Genki 1. I think I'm good on vocab (at least in terms of what I NEED to know for Genki 1, I still have a long way to go until my personal goals are achieved, but with stuff like Yotsuba I usually only need to look up a couple words a page (on the more wordy pages, that is).
But as for grammar, I'm still unsure. When I see a sentence I can read it and make sense of it. But when it comes to forming my own sentences I really struggle.
黙れ
liked and subscribed
Also might be worth mentioning that since it's a test for university credit, it's pretty safe to assume it wants everything in the polite form. Not that big of a deal, but since most of my reading practice comes from Jow Forums and Yotsuba, most of my exposure is to casual language.
You know, I forgot the entire point of making that post was that I wanted to ask for help with memorizing grammar. But I absolutely forgot to actually ask my fucking question.
Regardless, does anyone have tips for memorizing grammar? I don't really have a problem memorizing vocab, but grammar just doesn't stick no matter how many times I read the grammar rules or read the conjugations being used in an actual sentence.

Yeah. Learning a second language is always a good thing, and I think, personally, the more different a language is from your native one, the better. That's honestly the biggest reason I chose Japanese.
I'm really into French media too, for instance, but I never took up French because it just seems too similar to English for me, even though it would benefit me greatly. I'd be able to travel in Quebec fluently, I'd be able to communicate with large swaths of Europeans and even Africans; but it just never stuck. It wasn't novel enough.
The human mind needs novelty to stay alert. That's why learning new things keeps you sharp as you age. So learning or knowing another language, even if you or other people don't think about it, ALWAYS has benefits.

5 year olds in real life have gotten pregnant and were just fine. They just needed to have a Caesarean section performed on them to give birth.
Now, Chino? She's in the middle of her teenage years; in a period of explosive growth. She might look somewhat tiny to you now, but by the time for childbirth arrives, she would've grown even more.
About me impregnating her? I'd fetch some random boy to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to fool the hospital staff, and I'll reward him in some way for doing this. As for the hospital staff? I'd lie to them about being a long-distance dad; I'd left Chino with my neighbours for about half a year, and by the time I'd returned, it was too late for abortion.
I'm as old as Chino's dad, if not even more - my hair is actually grey! I'll look incredibly convincing.

What's the verb for "get a girlfriend/boyfriend"? Is it出来る?

what's the difference between
バスに乗る
and
バスを乗る
ride bus vs ride on/in bus, are they equivalent statements?
を乗る is wrong
okay I think I get it, に is like a direct action onto an object, を is describing the target of the action. I guess in english 'ride bus' is more a short way of saying 'ride on bus' anyway. But if it was 'drive bus', you'd use を correct?
> に is like a direct action onto an object, を is describing the target of the action
I mean the other way around
oh also so would

be wrong?
Hi I have a question, why are there so many English words used in Japanese, like スレ. Isn't there a Japanese word for 'thread'?
>english user
>complaining about loanwords

English may have etymologically related words to other languages, but it seems like Japanese speakers don't even have a word in their own language for "thread'?
