How difficult is it to learn jap to play nippon exclusive games? Does ajatt work or is it a meme?

learn japanese

posts kanji aka chinese

Retard.

Been studying for about a year consistently and on and off since I was in middleschool I can read probably 60-70% of what's in a game maybe more if it's dialouge heavy

Took me around a year to learn, I think, around 3000 kanji. I had the advantage of already having a good listening comprehension of it though. I just kind of absorbed it after watching animu for years.

I have been playing games completely in JP now for like over a decade now, so I don't have to deal with the shit translations.

I started about 3 months ago, already have hira, kana and some ~40-50 kanji. I have a vague understanding of the grammar that gives me just enough to already piece together sentences with the kanji I know semi-consistently.
I struggle with on'yomi, I should probably try to memorize the on'yomi of the characters I know before I try to do anything else. They're not really all that necessary if all you're doing is trying to understand a sentence as the meaning of the kanji should get you by, but I want to be able to read aloud (not that I ever will get the chance)

2-3 years

didn't learn grammar

For what purpose

Grammar can be knocked out in a week, if he's building good core vocabulary he's fine. I don't think he is though.

Is it possible to only learn how to read japanese and not speak it? I just want to read text in vidya, I have zero interest in speaking it.

when do i use ga vs wa

yea just learn it but dont ever have a conversation

Is there a good way to learn while working out? I do a lot of cardio and I'd like to be able to improve my vocabulary and listening skills while doing so. I'm not advanced enough to listen to Japanese-language podcasts or even simple books without needing to constantly pause and look things up, so I'm interested in material targeted toward learning.

I have no experience with anything except textbooks, a few college courses (years ago), and self-study methods like handwritten flashcards or Anki.

actively paying attention to audio visual content is much more effective at an early stage
once you understand a good amount though then you can just listen a lot while doing other shit

material targeted toward learning

personally i'd avoid this and just use material targeted at native children instead if you really need something simple

going into learning a language with the mindset of skipping an entire dimension of it is fucking stupid. don't even waste your time.

I'm Chinese and I found it not too difficult to learn

what are some things you prefer about each language

not too difficult to learn

when your languages have the same kanji

No shit. Now try learning it as someone with actual alphabet in their native language

Learning Japanese is a difficult and time consuming language to learn, especially if you're coming from only knowing English and other European languages. You have to make the decision on whether it's worth it to you. But in my opinion if you want it *only* for playing video games then you shouldn't bother. It will a few years of study before you are proficient enough to understand most video games without needing to constantly look up vocabulary.
That being said if you feel like you're up to the challenge I can't stop you, start with all of the kana and branch out from there, last I checked there were guides on Anon Babble that might help a beginner get his footing.

Just use text hooker like LunaTranslator bro

Japanese is easy

Learning kanji readings is the most pointless shit ever. Just learn the words.

こにちわ。いつもピザをたべます。ピザのあもっとピザを貝ます。ピザがだいすきです。

こにちわ

hello. I eat pizza. I look at pizza. I like pizza

okay?

look at pizza

Look closely見 vs 貝

ピザのあもっとピザを貝ます

you want to "shellfish" pizza? is this some 2chan lingo i'm not getting?

replied to the wrong anon

ピザを貝ます

買います?

I've got a 3830 day streak that's still running and I'll tell you what: it's shit.
I only do it every day to see how long I can keep my streak... and to be clear, the Japanese lessons weren't even around when I first started, so a large part of my streak is for Spanish.

That's kaimasu you idiot. You wrote mimasu, which means to look.

Full time humanities is at most a tenth of time and effort involved in real study like STEM. Four years would be 480 credits and a credit is an up to 10h of study. Normalizing for humanities, which is a hobby not a real discipline, you're looking at 480h at the high end of the spectrum. For many people it would be significantly less.

That anon wrote look so I pointed out the difference between what kanji he thought it is vs what the OP posted

Chinese has better translations of foreign words (very few transliterations)
Japanese grammar is probably much more straightforward and okurigana gives it flexibility. Katakana is double edged, it makes it much better at transliterations, but they overrely on it these days and it feels soulless to see katakana English everywhere.
I don't care

御呂火者

are there any good mangas for kids meant to help teach them grammar and kanji?
I have the Japanese versions of Overlord and Spice and wolf books on my shelf from a Japanese festival I went to one time and I can't understand a goddamn thing in them

Learning Japanese is demoralizing because you're always surrounded by the worst types of subhumans. I have never seen a more euthanasia-needing group of people in my life.

One Piece is not that hard. I like Kobochan and Kariagekun though, although you can only read them piece by piece officially online
