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.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
