What are some phrases for starting and ending a phone conversation casually and formally?
もしもし
ポーランドです
Yeah, more?
Morning blogpost

(;・∀・)
what are you guys reading? Tried reading some more serious literature lately
>bet you fags don't even have any 粋
looks boring as fuck 2bh
I started pic related recently, but I can't invest too much time right now
casual:
"俺、俺、or 私、私、(your name)だけど"
"それじゃあ or じゃあね"
formal:
"もしもし、 (the person you are calling)様でしょうか?私、(your name)ですが(と申しますがinstead of it, adding the company or any organization you belong to when the person don't know you beforehand)"
"それでは失礼致します"
>in casual way, people tends to omit to tell their name, so it's the typical trick which bank transfer scams (振り込め詐欺、オレオレ詐欺) use. They pretend to be somebody the people already knew, mainly offspring of elder parents, by not telling their name and ask them to transfer money to designated bank accounts, telling they are in trouble and need money urgently.

Still slowly making my way through 雪国. Great book, but I've been too busy to read much lately.
It seems all 必要悪s have gone..
We are in Jow Forums, it's not a ideal linguistic classroom. All we can do is picking up some coins out of 肥溜め, or you might practice swimming in the JP thread if you are skillful enough.

To be surprised, they generously accepted this and rather get more upset on a story I found in a gay bulletin board in Japan in which a Japanese businessman got raped by a muscular man during his business trip to meddle east and ended up as a gay who longs for the thing which once penetrated him brutally.

that's what happens when you make this thread when the Americans are sleeping
Nah I think it has something to do with 25% of the threads being pepe
lol what, usually the thread dies when the europeans are asleep
yea, a lot of low quality posts right now, but it doesn't seem to be a raid

What you learned in Jow Forums works only in Jow Forums
>good life lesson, thanks
What topic though, he's probably just a cunt anyway
Maybe he just didn't understand what you were saying and escaped as soon as he could
>>he showed 0 interest in my topic
like what?
it sounds a bit like you lectured him out of nowhere about something
About English and Japanese language, and other daily incidents between our countries
likely to be that, thanks
seems like that, thanks.
Seeing you posters in this thread, it seems I nurtured a preconceived notion that every non-Japanese coming here, especially for not a short period of time, are so ardent to learn our language. Totally my bad. I'll withhold it from now on.

知ってる 冬 = "Winter"
I didn't recognize the kanji, but I knew 'fuyu' is winter so I tried typing that in.

Hope it is better there than over here, I only know a handful foreigners who can speak finnish (most of them grew up here).
I did something similar recently Seems Japanese are more courteous to idiots like us than native English speakers.
>In fact, he's quiet a nice person and I was just oversensitive. I exaggerated it. Don't get it serious in Jow Forums, though. Sorry.
stupid american weeb can't tell the difference between 本音 and 建前
That's why I said courteous. I'm very well aware of 建前.
i was mostly talking about the post you linked anyways
tbf I was just recounting what happened.
Whether it was 建前 lit up or 本音 lit up I'm not positive, but they definitely "lit up".

Do you mean かっこいい
Why is Google Translate so keen on avoiding Kanji when translating from English into Japanese?
skewed pronunciation of "かっこいい"
No, that's what it says.
Thanks, I figured it was a synonym of すごい or something of the sort.
Fucking windows update keeps me from reading REEEEEEE
Japanese brothers! Please help me and tell what this text says?
Also this one. And tell my why Japanese like blue-white color?
does this picture make sense?
i read that the -te form is only a request when combined with kadusai and such even though such a meaning fits here
how does it work?
て-form can also be a light command.
ok thanks!
No clue what the burning semi-gate thing is
Ok thanks! I think it must be something about burning porcelain.

>why Japanese like blue-white color?
Reportedly, our ancestors couldn't replicate that color of potteries, which was originated in China where cobalt which turn into the pigment of blue was fertile in their soil, until 17th century.
So it might have nurtured yearning for that color among us, or simply it matches with our traditional cuisine which is mainly in color of brown and green.
Arigato! Lot of new information for me!
Why are you awake?
And for the color of blue generally, maybe Indigo had been most available material for pigments than any others.
As I had nothing to do other than that and I love wasting my Saturday daytime.
Ok I see. I just think I see this blue-white thing in many things which Japanese use.
step by step
I have begun understanding most things but my output ability still sucks ass and I've had this idea to possibly improve output.
When I read an English or German sentences I pretty much have no problem recalling it in its entirety as long as it's not several paragraphs long. I can't do the same thing in Japanese and need to read even semi-long sentences over and over again until I can fully recall them. Maybe actually trying to recall every sentence after reading it is more efficient practice (for output) as you don't leave yourself the option of glossing over things you don't understand and really internalize the Japanese you are consuming. Thoughts?
Where are these coming from?
Sauce?
yea sure, why not
I see them on google images when I search random phrases
>Maybe actually trying to recall every sentence after reading it is more efficient practice (for output) as you don't leave yourself the option of glossing over things you don't understand and really internalize the Japanese you are consuming. Thoughts?
Maybe its a useless skill to learn if you don't plan on living there.
Ever heard of ROI
They are cute.
I've been adding so little cards over the past year. I'm still stuck in around 7k cards. I don't really see many words I don't know nowadays.
I'm not sure if I ever plan on living there, but I want to be able to communicate in Japanese at the same level I can communicate in English. Recalling the sentences seems to me like something that may be connected to your output ability so actually training yourself to recall sentences may result in output ability increasing at a faster rate than it would by merely passively consuming.
you read nothing but moe manga or what?
Nah just books. I'm reading right now.
I don't know your level but in the beginning it's really helpful to drill important phrases into your head, even if your grammar isn't really good yet.
Yea
Is there any way of knowing what words are usually spoken and what words are only found written?
>Recalling the sentences seems to me like something that may be connected to your output ability
It is, since they are comprehensible input
en.wikipedia.org
If they are stories written for dramatic flair, how are you able to shield yourself from ending up talking like an arrogant superhero or a meek bookworm?
The comprehensible input also relies on natural order, in which case real natives are required. So we come full circle to 'I need daily skype/discord with natives' for comprehensible input and when I'm done and competent, then what?
I say goodbye to my online tutors and begin my production in a country where nobody else understands me.
Well its your time, not mine.
You get better at output by actually doing output. Time to find some Jap willing to talk with you for multiple hours every day
>You get better at output by actually doing output
Not really. Correct production is a result of comprehensible input, not the cause
To a degree this is true, but pronouncing the phonemes is important too. Someone struggling with the しつ in 失礼します isn't going to magical learn how to move their mouth properly just by hearing it over and over
Can some german user tell me how to change the keyboard layout so that it doesn't switch y and z? It was pretty easy you just had to change a few letters over regedit... Fucking windows update fucked it all over
Get used to it bitch.
Install english keyboard and delete the german one?
On older windows versions it always installed en an ger keyboard and you could switch by pressing alt + shift.
If you are on win 10 you need to install en keyboard.
>isn't going to magical learn how to move their mouth properly just by hearing it over and over
True that. I feel like you'll sound like a retard regardless given your vocal pattern growth into your native language
For example arnold schwarzenegger hasn't lived in austria for a very long time. The 'damage' was done as a toddler
>Fucking windows update fucked it all over
Let me guess you 'upgraded' to win10 lol
>来週は巻頭カラーです。〇〇〇〇〇〇〇モノとしては、なかなか新しい設定が出てくるのでお楽しみに!
What's up with all the Os in the second sentence? Is this some sort of slang?
I've mined over 14k words from 'moe manga' alone. I have a feeling you don't really read much manga or really know anything about what you are trying to compare. This is both unfortunate and irritating, given the topic of this general.
Do you really mine stuff like insects, flowers and rare foods
>tfw you're 27 and your friend who's the same age is going to take the JLPT while you can't even read a shounen manga
i hope i don't wake up tomorrow
How long have you been learning and how much time per day?
Friend of mine started when he was 19. Most I did prior to 2015 was buy dictionaries(this was before Anki) because I had no fucking idea how to do anything. I keep getting enveloped by health problems and depression about the fact that I've wasted my life. Vicious cycle, all that jazz.
