Anyone seriously want to learn Japanese?

[Fatboi1]

I'll still use my sources but I'll definitely check this out.

It works fast. If you serious you'll waste so much time trying to learn it through grammar books and internet vocabulary guides.
This guy learned it pretty fast too here's his 18 month update


You must basically learn the kanas/kanji with remembering the kanji and then immerse immerse immerse as as possible daily and use srs to learn i + 1 sentence cards where u learn one word or specific grammar usage. For example I'll make up one (from the top)
この橋は長いね。
If you knew all the words except 橋 you'd make a card with the sentence on the front and on the back the definition for the words you don't know in English. You do like thousands of these and then eventually you start putting Japanese definitions on the back instead of English.

I can't even get Spanish down, and I live in TEXAS.

I know udemy, they do these sales very often, nearly all the time. It's a good way to catch customers...no one's gonna pay original price of 200$ for recorded tutorials where you have no teacher to ask questions, but if they see 90% off it's an easy buy.

I know but that course is actually good. I have been waiting on that sale for a minute lol

I actually tried in my mid 20s. Their language is a lot different than ours, fundamentally so I don’t remember much. Unlike Spanish. Plus I didn’t have a real need for it,was just something to do.

I can still recognize some kanji symbols and “yes/no”. And random stuff.

Is that what you did, I remember you mentioning your Japanese was good?

Yes I want to learn Japanese, but I don't live in an area where I would get a chance to practice it regularly.

This looks a lot like the AJATT method, but much more up-to-date. Good shyt. This might be the best resource for people to use. People feel like they need to be in a University course to learn Japanese when I know two people who learned on their own and understand the language perfectly. Conversely, I also hear many stories of people in foreign non-English speaking countries learning how to speak English because they watched Friends multiple times and went from there.

I remember Khatz in a video years ago asking, "How many people do you know went to classes and are actually fluent?" And it's true, I can't think of many people that are. If there are any, they then went on to do self-studying the language and became fluent in 7 years because they did things the typical academic way.

When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense -- if you listen to a language long enough, you'll start picking out words that come up often, then it'll be phrases, then you'll just know sentences and look for words you don't already. "You don't get good at a language, you get used to a language." And 18 months? That's incredibly quick, and that's the ballpark estimate, some might be excelling in the language before then.

Basically. The creator of this MIA method attributed his fluency to Ajatt and Khatz but he basically refined it and optimized it and rebranded it to distinguish it from AJATT since Khatz stopped posting years ago. All this "duolingo", Rosetta bs is a waste of time. Immersion is like key. I haven't reach fluency yet because I been slacking and havent' put in the hours but I definitely know Japanese and can learn using Japanese itself with basically no English. Lots of folks who've put in the time and effort have become fluent around 18 months to 2 years.

I've been using this app called HelloTalk to learn Japanese.
It's a pretty cool app.

You can talk to folks from Japan and leave audio messages so they tell you if you are pronouncing words right.
