mmm do they actually study that shit in japan? lol

This is from a university class by the way.

Hey, how are you? What's up?

Was away from keyboard for a while.

My ??? ??? this year ?? ????, we ??? to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend and the 3 kids ???. Oh, I love New York! It's a great place. Thanks anyway for your help.

By the way, are you working today? Are you free tonight? Wanna watch a movie with me? It'll be over before 10 so not to late. Talk to you later ?? Love xoxo.

People in Tokyo japan like to skin dogs and wear them

thanks sherlock but as you might've noticed the teacher already made notes.

Oh, I didn't realize that's what those were actually. Their hand-writing is really crappy honestly.

I mean, it doesn't hurt to learn slang and shit like that, but it doesn't make sense to do that when you've barely got a grasp on the English language.
No offense to japs with good English.

Nah you're doing alright. Would fit in just fine.

In the US if you used slang in an actual class-room you'd be crucified (this is only barely an exaggeration)

Or possibly it's spending half of the school day teaching a pointless script that even adults don't have down 100%. If it wasn't obvious Japan wants to limit communication to the outside world to prevent muh ebil degenrate western influence

It's literally a workshop about text messaging. Sage

Stop believing Jow Forums memes'

Japanese government is very pro-west

I use like 60% of those abbreviations on a daily basis

Fuck, I hate those sentences.

I guess it's the same here. If you used slang, people would look at you like a retard.
We don't even get taught English slang, we get taught proper literary English - my teachers even used to scold people who were using "gonna".
And as for slangs - we are left to our own devices to find out what they mean.

It used to be the case for me. But now I never do aside from maybe "lol" "btw"

But for some reason whenever I text people, ever since I was like 15-16, everyone uses proper grammar, full sentences, everything.
Texting people my age btw.

It's very strange honestly.

Probably because back then they had those dumbphones which was annoying to type out entire words.
Now we have Whatsapp autocorrect doing that job for us hence no need to shorten it.

Ironically this is almost certainly from a very advanced English class. Though you can't assume someone can speak English with any fluency just because they do well in English classes in Japan

New cuisine?

My plug uses proper grammar.

It’s from “seminar in international studies” according to the student who sent me the picture. She’s not the best at English though so who knows?

Who the fuck types like that in 2018?

Textbooks and such are always a bit behind with this stuff, it's not unusual.
I wonder how people nowadays type with eachother.

That looks like a sort of reverse analysis as to how those abbreviations are made. Not useful at all but modern colleges, especially sociological studies and shitty postmodernism leaning lessons, are generally like that all over the world, I think.

t. drop out

people who aren't autistic

how would you know?

autists ask retarded questions, very ez2spot

>dumbphones which was annoying to type out entire words.
But if you spent any decent amount of time using T9 you were able to do it without even looking

they are trying to figure out "patterns" of how new words are created by looking at text messages.
it's interesting.

I can read it perfectly tbqh

Same here. I couldn't read quite everything because the resolution is a bit low, but it's very much readable.

yeah there are too few claps in it for me to be able to read it properly
>t. american
it's perfectly readable you illiterate
