[Weekend Meme] How I feel trying to read any Japanese found in the wild

  2. Oh god, playing FFX in japanese only was accessible enough until an al-bhed started talking…

  3. The other way around it ends up as something like “car scary fast pass” and having to try and figure out in what sense they mean.

  4. Dude lol! I use the Al-Bhed as a metaphor for me learning language in general. I thought it was just me 😭

  7. I’m the opposite because I’m Chinese and I can guess most of written Japanese text but if you ask me to read it out loud I have no clue.

  8. I’m the other way around: hit lv60 on Wanikani and only then started learning grammar seriously.

    I’m wrapping up N3 on Bunpro and grammar still *befuddles* me. Bro what’s this そういう doing here, I don’t get it.

  11. Omg this is what I keep thinking about trying to learn Japanese. I always tell myself, damn there should be a primer here somewhere to give me auto-Japanese language ability

  13. To be honest, even if you know every word in the sentence and know the meaning, it still reads considerably slower than say English and that’s very demotivating. In fact, I usually know all the words in the sentence and it’s still slower and not as much second-nature to read as English.

    It makes one wonder whether one will truly ever become “good” at Japanese and whether it’ll ever become second nature like English, which isn’t my native language but typing this sentence here is like breathing to me and in no way poses a greater challenge than typing in my native language. But I started learning English so young it might as well be considered a native language so it make me wonder whether I’ll ever achieve that level in Japanese.

  15. Unfortunately for me it’s the opposite😭 it’s kinda helpful because I can translate some sentences, BUTTTT can’t really make them myself.

  17. Help, I accidentally landed in j-twitter before I even started learning anything (artist), and I can recognise tons of kanji but cant strike up a basic conversation

  18. For me, it’s the exact opposite. I only know kanji and I don’t know any grammar. 😅
