Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
I've always wanted to be there for a while as well, though I probably wouldn't want to stay there forever. But I'd really like to experience what it's like to live and work there as well :) I learned some of the basics and hiragana/katakana when I was younger(since i couldn't accept the fact that I had to wait for months… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Ok is this the right thread to ask why everyone wants to live in Japan but at the same time usually dont know anything about it? If not then just ignore this post. Im just wondering because it happens that I see people who love japan and anime and games culture and they really want to go there and when you ask why they… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Ok thanks Nick! Tokidokizenzen - Thanks for the tips, once again it's nice to get advice from people in different situations! With regards to my reasoning for learning and the willingness which will hopefully come from it, is primarily my desire to either visit for extended periods or relocate to Japan. I honestly can't… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
I think it depends on the age group you ask. If you ask a 16 year old kid with a Death Note poster on his wall then you would get the answer you described. I'm 25, and while still into Anime and gaming obviously, and tech, the real reason for me is as I said earlier, every Japanese person I've met seems so damn happy and… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Yeah, I saw Japanese. The guy who recommended Kotoba had both on his phone. I remember it being like $13 :( . For now at home, exposure is what you need. Go buy some children's games in full hiragana, buy some music from eBay and get some movies, and not just anime. It's something that should not be rushed. I met people… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
I'm also studying japanese in my spare time. I'd admit, its tough work going solo. By far the best piece of advice I can give is to not stop. If your serious about learning anything(especially a language) then you have to invest a lot of time. All of those links Yozora posted are great resources. Slow and steady is the way… -
Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Hi there, I'm considering the massive undertaking of learning Japanese. I know learning any new language is a pretty mammoth task but from what I understand, Japanese is one of the more advanced to learn. I'm keen to learn for a number of reasons. Firstly, I've always considered Japan as somewhere I would like to live and… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
people seem to have the misconception that anything over 99 cents on the app store is expensive ;) $13 is cheap for a dictionary like "Japanese" - any alternative would set you back hundreds of dollars. -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Great resources in this thread! I grabbed some for myself ;) Japanese language is easy. The difficult part is having the drive to be persistent. If you really want to learn the language you need a real world connection. For example, you plan on living there at some point. Or, you are hardcore otaku ;) You need a real… -
