I want to learn Japanese so bad

Icelandic Cougar

Everyone learns it bad before they learn it well.

Shihan

Do it! And if you can spend time there. It helps with the pickup of the language

Ojiisan

Also, anime is the worst place to learn Japanese.

Shihan

9:16am

That could be cool. But unless I had significant business dealings with Japanese

9:13am

Shhh-Don’t tell the missionaries who learn Japanese that it takes 5 years.

Well being in the country for 2 years definitely accelerates the process

Icelandic Cougar

We lived it and already know that.

I suspect if you tested RMs of Spanish vs. Japanese you'd find a big difference.

How do you feel your level was when you finished your mission?

OrsoNero

I don’t disagree. I don’t think I said other wise.

Remember Sayonara means farewell, but the truly honorific way to say goodbye is Kusaionara.

9:27am

It’s pretty polite though, so I only really used the ku form with old ladies

Ojiisan

Here are a couple more:

Ojiisan

This is how I would start.

OrsoNero

I would add that learning 'kana' is at least as high a priority as kanji.

SV Coug

9:47am

Your specific advice is undoubtedly a lot more helpful than mine.

OrsoNero

10:00am

Yeah. Icelandic came from the mish. But i started learning japanese once.

Icelandic Cougar

10:11am

pretty impressive if you do.

Could be useful if you ever get on a Japanese gameshow.

Absolutely. Being completely immersed in a language and culture 100% helps.
