I started learning japanese for the same reasons like most people, mainly for watching animu but sometimes I'm looking on some websites for the job market for positions that require japanese skills out of interest and it really surprised me how few they actually are, considering japan is still the 3rd biggest economy and somewhat famous for it's shitty foreign language skills
Simply apply for a job at a Japanese company, if you want to have your language skills honoured. Isn't it implicitly clear they'd like, if you spoke Japanese? To the point that it's ridiculous to even mention it in a job ad.
Logan Foster
well, it's more of a curiosity thing really
>Simply apply for a job at a Japanese company, if you want to have your language skills honoured. >Isn't it implicitly clear they'd like, if you spoke Japanese? that's probably true, but I don't think it gets you more than an extra smiley if the position doesn't outright require some japanese skills
the way I'd define "reading" personally, no example sentences aren't embedded in a broader context, they have no rememberable history that leads you up to a certain vocab... example sentences are less random than indivual words, but that's about it
just my opinion really

>Anki example sentences 彼は- 2 彼は- 3 彼女は- 3
Definitely the two words I'll never ever forget again.
This. Very, very few jobs where it's useful. Most of which are in commiefornia, nyc, or London. Doesn't matter since I'm not business level I guess. But my god, speak spanish and it's a goldrush.
How the FUCK do people walk/bike/take the train in 36 C? Here it goes up to that in mid July but it's way less humid and I still turn into a puddle within 5 minutes of being outside.

I did 30 per day for 6 months and ended up regularly doing 700ish reps each day. In the end I decided to delete the whole deck and just restart from scratch. Also why don't you just do your reps during your commute?
Jason Lee
My commute is mostly walking so I can't really do that. 誰か私を殺して下さい

Animelon is down again and I'm fucking bored.... some user recommended this youtube channel 映像授業 Try IT quite a while back now, so if you don't know it yet you should check it out I haven't watched too much yet, because I was reading most of the time, but the videos on world history are pretty chill
>good >TV channel Pick one. I'd say any channel broadcasting variety shows, news reports and whatnot are good practice, for actually interesting material, go after specific shows and download them.
Daniel Cooper
I suppose Fuji TV will be okay then. Good white noise to occasionally glance at.
okay when he talks about Nanking from 13:20 to 14:00 it made me lol, I bet japanese are pretty good at minesweeper
Jack Cruz
The only ones who'll listen to/understand it are Japanese speakers anyway, and of those only the 右翼 would care. Nothing to gain by addressing the topic.

>work fulltime office job >30 new cards a day >take an hour or two, only because I'm slow and enjoy writing them by hand >not especially difficult Only problem is my mining deck tends to run out of new words because I only have time for reading on weekends, and only some weekends.
William Robinson
I'm not saying he was supposed to go into detail here, but it was just really weak that he even dodged giving any presumed/possible number of casualties he was just saying "yea, apparently there was a massacre or some shit, we're still sort of looking into that.. moving on"
you'll never learn by ankidroning. it should only encompass a third of your time. dropped anki at 15k and don't regret it at all. honestly a waste of time since memorizing is easy at that point.
