Why aren't you learning Nipponese user? Don't you want to play all those games that will never be released in English? Don't you want to play games without memes, censorship, the ability to play as a girl removed, new bugs, incomprehensible accents, delays, forced partial dubs, or pointless name changes for the sake of making a stupid joke?
If judging by what has been released for us weebs… then no, not really.

They didnt have any motif to lie or to one up themselves after the sattelites and Laika unlike the Jewnited States that were being forced into a corner with their fucking propaganda and influence.
Shitposting aside thought, US space ventures in the 60s/70s are sketchy as fuck, I legit think they were just a propaganda move
Nathaniel Morris
Have you played Baldr Sky yet?
Wyatt Hill
I beg to fucking differ user, the Soviets were mostly starving and the whole space race was a propaganda stunt to stop everyone from losing faith in the system. Why else would they waste so much time and resources to put shit into space if not to make their people believe that they could fix their problems?

Lincoln Powell
Here is a tip, user. Japanese sentences must ALWAYS end in verbs. The way you constructed your sentence is bad in that the verb 分かりました is not a main verb, but an attribute one: you are literally saying A bit-understanding Japanese…(You are saying that Japanese is the one doing the act of understanding, not you)
頑張って、アノンくん!
Grayson Cruz
Correction, Japanese sentences must always end with either a verb, an adjective, or a noun+the copular verb です。 But ye, in sentences with main verbs in them, they need to end with a verb.

Blake Cox

Jackson Roberts
so when should I use the particle に? it is always confusing to me
Grayson Morales
に is a dative/locative case marking particle. Here is some explanation:
Dative case is the case when you have an indirect object, like in English :
I gave him a book I gave a book (to him)
To him is an example of a dative case. Now here is the Japanese example:
彼に本を挙げた。
に functions here exactly the same as the preposition to
Another use of に is in locative case, e.g. denoting a location. Here is an English example:
I played in the garden.
Now, に shall function the same as the preposition in:
公園に遊んだ。
(Notice that this usage is interchangable in lots of times with the other particle that denotes a location, へ)
Lastly, there is another use of に and that is in marking the UNACCUSATIVE VERBS. Not all verbs in Japanese give the accusative case to their objects (and by giving the accusative case, I mean marking the object by the particle を)。
most of the Japanese verbs mark their object with を, but there are certain verbs that mark their objects with に or even が. Feeling or experience verbs such as 分かる and 感じる mark their objects with が:
俺がそれが分かった! I understood that! (note that both the subject and the object are marked with が)
Now, the verbs that mark their objects with に are sometimes called light verbs, verbs that don't affect the object much such as 触る、話しかける.
汚い手で飯に触らないでください! Don't touch the food with your dirty hands

Landon Green
I'm playing translated myself I have no knowledge of nip so it would be hard at this point to start good to know someone else takes ten fucking years to finish it. I'm on the second flame now I believe. For an h-game it's a full on game you could scrap the sex content and it's above average. I played Magica and I have to say the anatomy in Ariadne is a lot better and overall I like its combat system more.
Luke Howard

Yeah, it was surprisingly long and in-depth. RPG Maker games are better than VNs for practice, since you actually need to comprehend what's being said to proceed.
What are you waiting for? Time to get learning user.
Jackson James
俺がそれが分かった!
This statement is unnatural. Two が particles in a row are never used like that. It would always be a は~が pair in practice.
Just try Jewgling it.

I gotta take my hat off to you lads. Loving your hobby so much that you'd take up a completely new fucking language is passion in the next level.
Seeing these threads so often, and seeing them actually filled with people taking that extra step to stop being a pleb is really encouraging. Seeing people correct each other, talk about their daily/weekly revision, games they're playing, books they're reading etc really makes me believe it IS possible
I'm gonna start learning this shit as soon as my exams are out. I'm sick of being shat on by poor localisation, I love my hobby so I'm going to improve myself to better appreciate it. Thanks for these threads faggots sage for blog post
Cooper Martin
Good luck, user.
Ethan Garcia
It might be, but this structure can be seen with sentences that have no topic marking particle は and have a subject + a feeling verb that marks the object by が. Here is a statement made by Shulk when he wins in smash 4
力が感じる!
In this sentence, the subject ''俺・僕・私’’ etc is nullified phonetically. The marking of this subject can either be the subject marker が or the topic marker は, whichever is needed for pragmatics. So the above sentence can be paraphrased as:
俺は力が感じる! As for me, I am feeling it!
俺が力が感じる! I am feeling it!
Though I need to check if one of the uses of は is to exactly come with feeling verbs to differentiate the subject and the object.

Also, post the games you are currently playing in Nipponese. Pic related is mine.
Good choice, user. I have been playing the same for months, whenever I have some time away from my other gaming systems. Currently up to case 2 of GS3.
Also been playing pic related recently.
I was the same until I started playing games. Even Tae Kim is nothing compared to just using the language in practice.
Cameron Perry
I know about the Tae Kim guide, went over it when I first started back in March but couldn't wrap my head around it back then (barely having a grasp of Hiragana probably didn't help).
Also I'm forgetting Katakana already, probably need to brush up on that.
Blake Nelson
I am playing that exact case right now. I have finished 1-4 GS and Mile's Edgeworth's investigation 1. I have completed 1-2 again in Japanese to get the names right. Also, God dammit, I have ordered GS6 yet I have not finished 5..
Gonna also play pic related because I have steamrolled through my English playthrough by completing all the quests..
David Morgan
Recommend some Jap PS2 games to emulate.
Preferably things with more reading than doing.
Christian Gonzalez
You didn't hack your 3DS yet? After I finish GS3 I'm just gonna play GS4 and GK1/2 in an emulator and then install GS5 and 6 (and the other games like the Layon spinoff and that Dai Gyakuten Saiban game) on my hacked 3DS. The series is great for practice since it has so much reading and deduction.
Try the Ar tonelico series.
Juan Cook
Nah, I have bought a JPN 3ds since vanilla monster hunter 4 came. Since then, I am importing games because I can not resist being a collector. Also, pic related is very sick.
Nathaniel Wilson
I remember reading that you need to be like in the 2000s range to do do basic conversations. But even then depending on whats said it could still go over your head.
Camden Brooks
Summon Night 3.
Angel Garcia
I've been playing disgaea. It's really surprising how easy it is. Even when they use obscure words, the meaning is conveyed well. I really like it; the characters are great. I'll be extremely disappointed if the rest aren't as good.
Xavier Diaz
RPG Maker H-games were great for me when I was starting out reading.
Generally don't have much difficult vocabulary or grammar, interspersed with gameplay so not overwhelmed with constant text, and being H-games I wasn't too bothered when skipping over anything I didn't understand or feel like looking up.
Would sometimes just read anything I understood, only looking up unknown things that seemed important to progression or that I wanted to know while skipping over other stuff. Good for some practice even on lazy days.
Austin Diaz
Thats bullshit. I have memorized the 1006 elementary school kanji and I can speak smoothly with other Japanese people. Also, I can understand about 70% of the kanji in Gyakuten Saiban.
Adrian Wilson
2000 words is more like it. Few common kanji make up most of the every day words. For basic conversations the courage to actually try your best is much more important.
Jason Robinson
Stunning. Is it forbidden to make games like this now?
Austin Flores

Just Japanese.
Anthony Bailey
OP should maybe include this for ease of access to the cornucopia of resources & the reading list.
And use its awesome Kanji radicals feature to find the Kanji that you need. In no time, you will recognize patterns such as the following 女、娘、お嬢 (All contain the radical 女 which basically denotes anything relating to females, etc) classic.jisho.org/kanji/radicals/
With time, you will rack vocabulary and reading will be a breeze.
Jason Russell
Can anyone explain to me the difference in usage of on'yomi and kun'yomi? Because I have no fucking idea how to read kanji properly
Lincoln Watson
Kunyomi are the Japanese developed readings of the Chinese characters. They are usually used when the kanji is alone or followed by okurigana. (all verbs) There are usually multiple kunyomi readings per kanji.
Onyomi are adapted from the Chinese pronunciations of the characters. They are usually used when multiple kanji are paired together. There are usually only one or two onyomi per kanji.
Joseph Thompson
Thanks, guess I'll be in the lookout for that from now on
Anthony Lee
You will basically pick up on when to use which pronunciation instinctively when you study enough anyway, no need to think too hard about it.
Elijah Reyes

Ayden Murphy
I too often end up making flashcards of words that I will likely not see any time soon again.
I think a correct way to learn by reading is to only memorize things that are important in your current level. So, a beginner might only save basic vocabulary and grammar, an intermediate student all the new kanji and a person already in advanced level could take all the new stuff they see.
Trying to understand everything you read is one thing but memorizing it is something else. This way seems not only effective but also less frustrating than trying to learn all at once.
Colton Cooper
I use whether or not jisho lists it as common as a deciding factor. Sometimes shit will throw a random obscure word that will never come back just for the 'look how smart we are' points.
Josiah Phillips
I don't think the "common word" is that good an indicator. I mean, ちんぽ is not a Jisho common word but after おにいちゃん it's the next one you'll see in エロ漫画 (also not a common word).
Meanwhile "common words" can be very sophisticated adjectives or political words that have a single specific use and no simple translation on other languages.
Nolan Jones
I guess deciding factor wasn't the best phrase. It helps.
Jack Carter
I think those are the words that most need a flashcard. You'll be seeing common words all over the place anyway, so those aren't as hard to memorize.
Seems pretty common to me. ( ° ʖ °)

Lucas Evans
I feel like I'm going crazy, maybe I'm just missing something obvious but what the hell is the く doing? I can't tell if it's some particle I don't know or if its a conjugation I don't know.
Chase Richardson
It's conjugating from 食べたい.

Are you sure the jokes weren't in the Japanese version?
I don't get your reasoning to be honest. Exactly, Monster Hunter dialog was Pokemon level of boring shit, not worth reading. I liked the MH4U conversations, some jokes were flat but it was so bad that it was good again, kinda like trash movies.
At least better than every villager creaming itself over the great hunter that saved the village.
Christian Rodriguez
jesus fuck there must be a better way What are you anons doing to improve your listening skils?
Wyatt Martinez
I've just been focusing on reading first. I've been watching some anime in Japanese without subs, but I don't pause it to look up anything, I just try to understand as much as possible.
I can tell that listening will be the very last thing I become proficient in.
Where did you find that? Would like to try it since I'm a Madoka fan and know pretty much know every conversation inside out.
Evan Johnson
Just like in Chinese. I have to say, reading about how Chinese uses hanzi in a sane way (or what sounds like a sane way from what little I know) as well as some other interesting sounding things, makes me want to study Chinese. Though I haven't done it because I can't imagine ever using it for anything, I can't think of a single thing I'd use Chinese for.
Pretty hard to find subs for older shows though. I've tried looking for Cowboy Bebop subs, but I've only managed to find subs for episode 2-18. Plus, they're pretty bad in spots.
Luke Jackson
How would I politely ask someone for a password?

Jose Morgan

Colton Fisher
Maybe try something a little easier so you can focus more on trying to listen rather than looking up new words.
That's pretty much what I do too though, listen and rewind if I don't catch it. Or sometimes just let something play and try to understand as much as I can.
Josiah Baker

Colton Miller
A method I use when actually trying to gain some knowledge out of watching anime is just to watch with English subtitles, quickly read them for understanding, then actually listen to the Japanese words and attempt to understand what they mean.
Try doing this especially with a show you've already seen before, since it ends up being kind of distracting from the actual events and plot.
Has several languages for both audio and subtitles. I tried kitsunekko at first but obviously every video is slightly different, so the subs really only work if you get the exactly correct torrent.
John Gray
That scene looks gay.
Brayden Diaz
As it should.
Aaron Price
I know about 1000 words and some grammar (still learning all the particles).
If I have any advice from my limited experience starting 6 months ago, then use memrise for vocabulary (N5 Japanese Vocab to start off with) and use a program called "Human Japanese 2.0" since the 3.0 version doesn't have a torrent. It's short and concise in teaching you some of the grammar. When I'm done with it I'm going to move on to the genki textbooks I downloaded to recap/learn more.
Grayson Butler
Well, I didn't know the context but as you said "politely", using clear, non-abbreviated forms is always a good choice I think. Also I'd imagine the "パス" is actually abbreviated as the suffix more often than as a single word.
Liam Bell

The thing is, if I lose said game she says to not go easy on her and I can't leave the room, and if I win I get this message that I don't understand and I still can't leave the room

1. You lost. As expected you didn't come here to win. How boring. 2. You have to go easy on her. Teach her how interesting the snap system is. 3. First of all, you have to let her win.
Best I can do with little context. You probably have to lose, but let the game last a while.
