What does your 彼女 think about your spending hours for learning this language which is seemingly nothing but the nexus for all the perverted contents in the web and your actually posting those anime pics in this board so regularly?

Hey I'm the one bullying you not the other way around

I'm sorry for your loss

She is used to it by now. Also she liked Japan since we went there together on Holiday this year, but she doesn't want to make the commitment to learning the language (yet). We sometimes watch Anime together. She likes 青春ブタ野郎はバニーガール先輩の夢を見ない this season.

She is originally from Russia, so yes she is white. I wouldn't say she "likes" Anime overtly. Not in the sense of the white female Otaku. She only watches it with me usually, the only exception is ジョジョ where she watched Stardust Crusaders by herself (cause I had already seen it).

I like to think that these threads have been dead recently because people have been studying

I don't accept your whinig.
>could exchange conversation with my cowerker in US successfully (by phone), at least for me.
>"Oh, eventually I got the mastery of English LISTENING in adittion to the ability to get what I mean across to them barely as well"
>appeared that that American has good more than 10 years of experience of dealing with our Japanese Eng, rish.
Why do YOU English speakers DO this?
>In the previous thread one American user said
>"When pronouncing "L", just lift your 舌の根元 to your 軟口蓋 and you can say any words so freely without choking yourself"
>腹話術か?
Why does any indivisual of you tell me indivisually discrete thing? Are you ENJOYING that?
>my another coworker who has spent more than 3 years of his 20s in this country

>"About 700"
>"For kanjis?"
>"No, for generic words"
HOW COULD YOU LIVE HERE WITH IT?
>"Hmm.. I found that some of you speak really passable Eng, rish"
In the first place, WHY can't you just sit there and wait until SOME OF US eventually come to draw OUR hentais in OUR passable Eng, rish?
You ENGLISH SPEAKERS are really NOT entitled to learn another language. It's arrogant.

I agree and I think it's unacceptable to move to another country without learning the language. I would never do such a thing.

It's not? I just specified the type of the white female Otaku, which is a subgroup of the general Otaku with some specific characteristics I feel.

Attached: 1544658314556.png (1387x702, 500K)

I didn't mean that. When I said, all the girls I know are ugly or weird I specifically meant white people who I know

I'm not far enough for that feeling to matter I think. But from time to time I question why the fuck I'm even learning Japanese. I don't even watch anime anymore. The least I get from it, is that it keeps my mind busy and it feels nice to read random sentences I come across and actually understand them

Attached: 1541187192525.jpg (1024x788, 98K)

Perhaps you are about to get a burnout?
When this happened I took a break for a few days only doing my reps with no new card the absolute minimum.

When I go back to reading I feel like I improved immensely and don't have trouble anymore.
Some things need some time to settle in your brain.

How long have you been studying?

Please refrain from crossposting on /v/ or you'll just bring even more cancer to this place.
Thx.

I am afraid to tell you the Pole below you gave really persuasive example.
>貴様らごときが私を倒すとは
>likely to be said but the guy effectively conceded so it could be not so plausible enough.
>貴様らごときが何をできるか

>I don't even watch anime anymore
Me neither, but I always enjoyed VNs more anyway

Why are Russian women always that permissive, I mean motherly? Is it my silly misconseption?
And why are women in general more ardent to learn the language of the place they are living than men? Am I getting it all wrong as well?

Is watching namasensei actually a good idea or not? He's entertaining and motivating but he also teaches quite slowly and isn't very effective, sometimes ommitting entire portions of what he's supposed to be teaching

Attached: 1545664994984.jpg (736x736, 48K)

I thought as much. Thank you.
I didn't feel like the voiced portion really matched the line itself (they sounded very angry), so I was unsure.

Not really but I still remember the TE form shit he showed. So I guess that's useful

>Is watching namasensei actually a good idea
no, why would you even think that

I don't know what you mean with permissive or motherly in this case. Essentially she grew up in Germany already so it's not much of a noticable difference.

I thought he's an obnoxious kid, but maybe I'm just too old.

He's a product of his time really, not much different from an encyclopedia dramatica article or somethingawful thread from the same time period.

My eyesight is shit so I'm worried that when I start trying to learn kanji I'll have to get very close to my monitor and squint to be able to see the kanji properly, will that happen?

you know you can increase font sizes on digital devices right?

What about getting some glasses

Changing the default font size in firefox doesn't change the size of most text though, now some text just looks disproportionately huge compared to the rest.
I already wear glasses, though I haven't had them upgraded in quite some time now. Hopefully new glasses will make them easier to read.

Ctrl+scroll wheel you dumbass

What is the best fifth language to learn? Chinese and spanish speaking people are mostly subhumans so I don't want to learn their language.

If I had any more capacity I'd learn Italian.

「ルールなんて関係ありません!お前は俺にぃ~~ 殺されるべきなんだー!」
what's Frieza saying when he's chimping out about the rules at the start? The second bit is like "you must be killed by me!!!"
I'm just not too sure what なんて does when added after nouns in this sort of context really

things like rules have nothing to do with it
なんて is like "such a thing as"
it comes from などと, as in ルールなどというもの

arabic

I rather get beheaded than learn a language with retarded symbols again.

Learn one that isn't connected to indo-european languages.

In that case go for french.

How long do you think German would take to learn as an English speaker?

German is easy mode for an english speaker. One third of the efforts of your japanese studies for double the results.
Learning another european language has indeed no appeal at the moment. Russia already provides all the godlike literature I would ever need.

Given you're German and don't want to know Chinese or Spanish (and presumably Portuguese), I'd say either French or Turkish is most useful. It's probably better to learn to be less shitty at Russian and Japanese first though.

I'm not german, I just work here. I don't see why turkish would be of any use but I must say the turkish people are well immigrated here, very friendly compared to the other arabic nations here which are mostly subhumans.

Turkey's a fairly big country population-wise, and a big portion of central asia speaks a language distantly related to turkish. They are a little closer to first world than most other languages you could learn. The grammar is close to Japanese from what I hear.

Not that amazing, but you've already learned or rejected the big languages.

I guess there just isn't another russia or japan, countries so rich in culture, quality content and decent people that it's almost a must to know the language.

sure there is, it's called china

Attached: 5dbeaa6a.png (711x597, 376K)

I don't get it. Why is grammar supposed to be worse than Kanji?

kanji is just a matter of recognition (if you don't know it, you can easily look it up), difficult grammar can fuck you over no matter how long you look at a sentence.

Kanji creates a continuous bottleneck, you can only look kanji up so often till madness awaits.

I've already worked through genki 1. I just don't have any motivation to grind through vocabulary words on anki

I am in no way able to finish this but what is happening with 娑羅雙樹? I can only find 沙羅双樹. I guess the former is just an old word because 双 and 雙 share the same onyomi.

Then change your choice of words. You 'can' learn Japanese, you just 'choose' not to.
