First of all, let's stop with the real japs bullshit. Everyone that's japanese is a real jap, weeb or not. That kind of buzzword doesn't matter, what matters is even if the jap weebs are a minority and you won't see them very often unless you hang out around them, learning dialects, memes and all that kind of stuff is also important to understanding the language and the people even just a bit more than before. Not learning something just because the normie japs don't say it is fucking retarded, you're just giving yourself excuses to not learn more about the language.
am i learning nihongo?
I never disagreed with any of these statements. The only part I disagreed with is your characterization that Japanese people are bigger weebs then us combined.
I'm a weeb, as I'm sure everyone learning this language is, and I get most of my exposure through anime and manga. I'm definitely learning that side of the culture too. But you should temper your expectations if you ever plan on visiting or living there. Outside of Akihabara, overt weebiness is looked down as it is outside any space that isn't anime centric.
So do you think knowing phrases like below would benefit your life in some degree?
>さくらたん(*´д`*)ﾊｧﾊｧ
>逝ってヨシ!
I don’t think so..
メッセージは偶数なったら、ビール買ってこのスレッドに寄る。
I sure hope so
>overt weebiness is looked down
Do I look like the kind of person that cares what others think about me?
>temper your expectations
I'm not going down the sinking ship of depression with you.
Definitely
>さくらたん(*´д`*)ﾊｧﾊｧ
Pretty selfexplanatory
>逝ってヨシ!
Had to look this up, I'm going to say it's useful to me just to spite you.
>learning dialects, memes and all that kind of stuff is also important to understanding the language and the people
true, words like "unironically" "autistic" which are uniquely seen here definitely enriched my descriptive expression a lot
Unironically, both of those are used pretty much everywhere.
