Why are you learning Japanese instead of Chinese? Chinese is superior in every way, and you have a higher chance of meeting a chink in your country than a jap.
Chinese vs Japanese
To consume weebshit without having to rely on garbage translations. I couldn't care less about speaking the language with people in my country.
Well, I started learning Japanese in order to watch anime without subtitles, but my listening comprehension is so bad that I have to watch them with subtitles anyway, only this time they're Japanese subtitles. I guess if I learned Chinese then I'd be reading the Chinese subtitles. Still, I like that the voices phonetically match what's written in the subtitles, and there's the future prospect of relying on subtitles less by getting used to hearing the voice actors' Japanese speech. Therefore, I am happy with my choice to learn Japanese over Chinese. But truthfully, I wasn't considering Chinese anyway.
これよ、これ。
Well let's see, because Chinese has 0 interesting media to me, and I have 0 interest in China.
To be able to read Jap literature and watch old Jap movies. I hate anime and manga, though.
Chinese is ugly and I'm not interested in China or whatever it offers.
谁说我学习日本话?
chinese has no interesting cultural content
Because my 2D waifu is jap
the only thing you can do with chinese is speak to chinamen, which is a pretty awful prospect
Due to my native language structure, I feel Japanese is much easier language.
Since I was a kindergarten student, I grew up receiving Japanese language education hosted by local public schools, because I live in the city nearest to Japan in my country (Ferry round-trip fare less than $50)
还是不要学中文,对你们没有好处的。
Most of the answers have basically been "to watch anime" and I'm not suprised whatsoever.
I don't give a fuck about anime.
I play video games.
why don't you start by explaining why do you think chinese is superior in every way you fucking chink
Sorry for the misunderstanding hombre
>こんにちわ
disgusting as fuck
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Fuck real people.

wtf

Okay, the more I get into kanji the more I admire the natural environment of Chinese characters that the Chinese language is. When it comes to that sort of thing Chinese makes Japanese look like child's play. Chinese song lyrics can be very beautiful linguistically. I think it's also much easier to make friends with Chinese people than with Japanese people (Japanese guys are pretty lame and I don't have yellow fever tyvm). However, I don't generally like people, so it's not a priority for me to be friends with anyone. Chinese is still a difficult foreign language, even if you're comfortable with Japanese kanji and all, and it is not easily learned. There isn't much right now to keep my motivation up, were I to start learning it.

how do grown watch something that is seemingly written for 12 year old girls? anime is the worst type of media available.
This.
>stop liking things I don’t like!!!1!1!1!!1
Come to the West, where you can be a NEET. Our women look like men, though...
yeah that pretty much sums up my post. anime is the most retarded shit i've ever watched and you should feel embarrassed.
Yes yes I understand
No one wants to talk to roaches.
Are you from Busan?
>you have a higher chance of meeting a chink in your country than a jap
Why would anyone ever want to talk to a chinkoid in their native language.
I can only see how my body will be inflicted with pain in 1000 different ways for speaking 3 different ching chong languages
I find that imagining myself to be a 12 year old girl (idealised) is the peak satisfaction I receive from life. Previously in my life I was lost and suffering, but with all those pretty girls ready-made for male self-insertion, I have at last found joy. Don't judge me, I've been through enough already.
Wait for it, decade later China will produce more moe stuff than Japan.
>and you have a higher chance of meeting a chink in your country than a jap
Not in Brazil, Pedro Chang.
Germany is tolerant (unless you speak up against Islam) and multicultural. I don't even know what are all those languages I hear every time I'm walking down the streets in my city. The world is moving here because it's better over here.
Mandarin is an awful-sounding language.
A decade later Japan will produce us android waifus.
chinese would be more marketable if we replaced pinyin with bopomofo so the weeaboos could think they were learning hiragana or smth
t. chink
As a weeb what I think you need is traditional characters, and their forms should follow the Kangxi dictionary, in which the eternal peak of printing aesthetics was achieved by Qing scholars. Going from Japanese to Chinese, supposed to be the damn original language, shouldn't feel like a downgrade. Even the Taiwanese character forms are weird.
this
Japanese at least has a certain "europeaness" to it, phonologically speaking. But Chinese sounds completely alien and kinda disgusting. Also, the fact that the language is tonal makes it automatically unappealing to learn for gwailos. Finally, the fact that they switched to simplified characters kinda ruins what little appeal their logographic writing system could have possibly had.
why not just learn both? brainlet
to talk with Japanese, you need to learn Japanese.
to talk with Chinese, you speak English to them.
and to talk with Malaysian, you speak Chinese to them
I would but learning both at the same time is probably counter productive.
I don't want to go to a shitty communist country like China
I want to learn a language that belongs to the first world and isn't European
Japan is a better place to go as a white foreigner
ITT: weebs
>not learning every asian language to integrate perfectly into a re-establishment of the greater east asia co prosperity sphere
Yes
met many good kyusyu people here!
>Chinese is superior in every way

don't waste your time to learn Japanese
Chinese is more versatile
>only this time they're Japanese subtitles
Please teach me where to find anime (not dorama) with Japanese subtitles
PLEEEEEEEZ!
Sad but true, bro
Must be Busan-Fukuoka ferry line
Chinese media is garbage and the country is a communist shithole.
>used to be a part of British Empire
>forgot the language of its Masters next day after re-joining China
Not even police is talking English in HK
Nice English my brown Albanian friend.
Chinese sound makes me Lough when I hear it.
Sorry not offend
But it’s true
For me
Chinese is not cool language

Most of the people involved in producing Japanese subtitles for anime seem to be Chinese (so far to me). If true, the Chinese must be our the greatest weeb allies.
I met both chinks and japs and god, chinese is an atrocious language.
I might eventually learn Mandarin before I turn thirty because after Japanese, Chinese seems to be only reasonably difficult instead of very difficult. I feel closer to Chinese grammar than to Japanese grammar even now. It's so ridiculously SVO and direct, it makes English sound complicated and meandering. I'll just hope China manages to make itself more culturally relevant than it is now before I grow old and die.
Why do you always compare us with China?
It is totally different as the language.
You should study Spanish.
>Chinese sound makes me Lough when I hear it.
>Sorry not offend

>Chinese is not cool language
Your language is truly uncool!
You have more in common with Chinese than any other language for the singular reason of using 漢字 to form common vocabulary, which is very large.
Nah
Japanese sounds really manly.
Chinese intonation is really chingchongchang and not cool
>Nah
>Japanese sounds really manly.
>Chinese intonation is really chingchongchang and not cool
you motherfuckin bullshit!
The Chinese language is profound and masculine than Japanese!
Japanese is just a sissy language!
In practice, aren't the Japanese the ones talking like söyboys always afraid to speak their mind, whereas the Chinese are always loud and clear? I have doubts about Japanese actually being a manly language, because of the way your society is.
PRC(簡体) and Japan(国字) are different from Hong Kong /Taiwan(正体字) in the kanji.
As for the grammar, the German bro of languages is close in China.
Yeah but for example 経験 and 经验 are both the same shit. It's the same word. Other words where Japanese has 経, in simplified Chinese will also have 经. It's the same character, only that it looks somewhat different. Entire sentences in Mandarin are readable for Japanese people even in simplified script after minimal grammatical preparation.
By the way, the traditional version of 経験/经验 is 經驗. It is different. But it's the same shit, really.
Grammar takes a short time (other than getting fine nuance). Vocabulary takes a very long time. If your vocabulary is mostly shared because of 漢字, then you end up learning that language easily just because you already sort of know what you're learning. By the way, Chinese grammar is fucking primitive. It's just lining up 漢字 (漢字の並び方が文法、ということ). It makes English grammar look hard.
chinese are inferior than Japanese, definitely
I don't care about anime and mildly interested in Japanese literature and movies. I started attending a Japanese course, though, to meet girls who are interested in Japanese and anime. So far it even pays off since I casually walk with a girl after the lessons and we talk quite personal stuff.
No such prospect with the ちゅうごくご
interesting.
most of countries are living inferior than Japan but they always say "i don't care about anime or such a weeb things"
Chinese pronunciation is very difficult.
Hey I told the truth whatever u mad or not.
Look Chinese movies, every words coming from their mouth is Ching Chong nii Ching Chong Chang Ching .
That’s why westerners bully u as Ching Chong.
I don’t want to speak Ching Chong from my mouth.
Look our glorious samurai movies.
Cool macho language.
Sorry
I just tell u the truth
a weeb (or whatever you call him) friend of mine switched to chinese once we finished high school
im never learning either because I have no intention of ever moving from europe

Do you have comprehension disability? What does what you said have anything with what I wrote?
oh sorry, i didn't think reply to you
日本語なんて勉強するんじゃなかったわ...(´・ω・`)
>Look Chinese movies
All movies from Chinese production have SUBTITLES.

>Japanese at least has a certain "europeaness" to it, phonologically speaking.
Japanese sounds more like the Austronesian languages than Indo-European, what the fuck are you on about?
