Interested in learning Japanese.

I've been interested in learning this language for quite awhile, and I finally made myself read Densetsu guide. I'm going to try and learn Kana in my spare time, it's probably going to take me a great deal of time and effort for me to understand and actually speak the language itself. Years or so :lol:

Is anyone here doing the same as me? How is your progress?

I'm trying for a multitude of reasons, but right now I'm not focusing on it 100%.

I'm also trying, but not 100%. I actually like learning Japanese though, so I'll eventually be able to understand and read it.

I'm learning it in high school right now--so far so good! It's only been a few weeks but I have all the kana pretty much memorized. It's cool being able to read Japanese even if I can hardly understand it. :P
I'm sure I'll get better...What I'm afraid of is Kanji. ~6000 characters I think, with around 2,000 needed to be considered literate. Ah well. Time and practice, I guess.

Anyways, for now, I have my hands full with Traditional Chinese Writing.. I can speak Cantonese fairly fluently, I've been doing it my whole life :P, but I can't read or write that much. And my Chinese teacher is useless.

Anyways, Good luck on learning Japanese.

What do you think of a "Virtual Speech Community" so you can practice this language with the other Temps?

I seriously recommend formal training if possible. Two weeks at college and I learned all of the kana, some basic grammar, and a set of vocab. I actually went to Mitsuwa and picked up a volume of Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei and was surprisingly able to read some of it (mostly because the kanji had furigana) and I could probably weather through it with a dictionary after I learn the rest of the fundamental grammar rules.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never used the mobile or online versions, just the pc version.
