  1.  @καλαμ  Cept, you know, not. That's Chinese stroke order. Japanese order can start basically anywhere on the top and work its way to the bottom... mostly

  2. If you don't like finding the meanings in kanji, you might as well not learn Japanese at all.

  3.  @viperblitz11  Ehhhh, idk about that. If you are japanese, you are expected to know what to do. If you are a foreigner making an honest effort, most will be very accomodating.

  4. Mostly cause Japanese stroke order will give you a stroke. If you write Chinese system, it's a breeze.

  5.  @lapaula_fj_  Man, you need some Anki. 120 in 6 months is... not good.

  6. Why cry when you could be studying?

  7. Western words are just prefix(es) + root + suffix with roots sometimes being mutliple roots concatenated. The problem with English is that those roots can be Germanic and/or Latin and the meanings are all messed up from the vowel shift and the transition from old > middle > modern english. Languages like German, French, and Russian are relatively stable though.

  8.  @PC_Simo  You've heard good feedback on Duolingo? That's terrifying.

  11.  @goatgamer001  Lol, yeah, 哥哥/弟弟 and 姐姐/妹妹 don't exist. In fact, I couldn't even type them into my phone cause of the one-child policy. Scary 🙄

  12.  @ЕвгенийМаксудов  > Random symbols. You know radicals exist, right? There are some foundationals that are farther removed from pictographic meaning but, once you memorize those, most kanji make alot of sense.

  14. "building a pc" like you actually built a computer rather than assembling premade parts.

  15. Woah, I actually remember, when I was young, using the Iriquois system and then eventually using the Inuit system when I became an adult. That's probably cause I come from rural America :/

  16. Anyone who tells you japanese is easy is full of shit. It is easy to learn a couple phrases and bumble your way through a mediocre day. "Learn 有り難う and 済みません and you're good" Those people probably don't know pitch accent, 敬語, 四字熟語, or 当て字 / 義訓 / 熟字訓 even exist... and that's not even counting useless, innumerable 外来語 and any kanji past 常用.

  18. Japanese stroke order sucks and makes no sense. Use the Chinese stroke order instead.

  19. Nonono, Chinese is good.

  20.  @jaytea3085  They are the same. Weebs took weeaboo, shortened it, and 'took the word back'. All the OGs still think weeb is synonymus with wapanese and weeaboo.

  21. Finally, someone preaches the holy word. Motherfuckers finish Rosetta Stone or Duolingo and think they've mastered Japanese when, really, they've only barely achieved 上手.

  24. These kids aren't reading their 古文. Day by day, Japanese culture dies a little more.

  25. How is this *demotivating*? If anything, it's more challenging, making it more fun.

  26. That's... uh... why you use kanji.

  27.  @peterharrison5833  Oh no, please don't encourage the use of romaji. Let it die. Please. Unlike katakana, which serves a niche purpose that also should probably disappear, romaji is absolutely useless.

  28. @勇樹 Depends on the app. EBPocket allows you to put your EPWING dictionaries on your phone, Kanji Study is great for people who haven't made the monolingual transition and has some useful writing features, and AnkiDroid allows you to do your desktop's flashcards on the go for easy syncing. Also, each of those 3 has cross-app integrations. So if you go on 用例.jp and find a sentence, you can look it up in EBpocket, practice writing it in Kanji Study, and send any target morphs or phrases to Anki to rep out. Being a Luddite about language learning is not an advantageous strategy. There are many ways computers can streamline the process.

  36. They're for foreign words... so don't use them! You're trying to speak Japanese, not Japanglish. Fuck 外来語. All my homies hate 外来語.

  37. Katakana is the bane of the earth. Why? Because it encourages the borrowing of words from other languages that have no lexical roots in the language. Sure, it's easy to read, but wtf it means is generally not consistent with the other parts of the language. It's better to use 熟字訓 or 義訓 because at least the foreign concepts have been digested by the existing system.

  41. Too bad modern Japanese is written exclusively in katakana and sounds like broken english. Might as well not even learn actual Japanese.

  47. Most people who 'learn the language' only have a cursory or surface level knowledge of it. They are probably conversate at best. From anecdotal evidence and my own experience, native-level fluency in Japanese requires 5 years of hard, efficient study at the very least... and that's for people who are already have some sort of advantage.

  50. As an adult learner, it heartens me to imagine outworking kids who think it's torture. "Come back in 10 years, kid!" "Go home and be a family man."
