    good evening my axolots
    Well well well we meet again, welcome to your daily dose of cheap #entertainment I ventured out into the wild for the past 2 weeks, finding enlightenment on the snowy mountains, achieving great knowledge, only to return, for I refuse to leave the youtube space alone. My reign has yet to end, it's barely scratched the SURFACE
    I tried to learn Japanese in 6 days, and now I can successfully read the language with a 5 second delay on each phrase and only a 5% chance of understanding what it meant, but my studying shall go on for I am now the jack of all languages, master of none B)
    also duolingo was not helpful at all here's some good websites and apps instead if I get kahooted in my sleep you know who to blame
    dictionary: shirabe jisho
    renshuu (for writing)
    tofugu (for learning kanji and hiragana)
    kana-quiz.tofugu.com/ (for kanji and hiragana quiz)

      Much agreed!! Out of all the languages I speak and read, I can only remember a third to the native level, simply because I speak and hear them on a daily. English and Japanese on social media, French with people around me and my family, some Latin since I listen to audiobooks but my Italian, Russian, Spanish.. well, they’re good but it just lags. It’s so annoying, reaching a native level and then just resetting after some time, especially since I’ve had such love for those languages.

That or an ultra formal and correct writing.

    Honestly, that's probably the best way to learn english. Trying to approach english purely with proper grammar would take eons, most fluent english is super casual and doesn't follow "proper" structure lol. Not to mention all the words that are spelled 1 way but have 2-3 different meanings and pronunciations, learning those without hearing/watching it get spoken would be endlessly confusing.

I remember seeing the katakana for the band マクシマムザホルモン and I don't think I can really properly express how I felt in that moment. In my defense it actually doesn't make sense. Other words are more frustrating than difficult. ホワイト ... I mean, did they throw in that ホ just to confuse gaijin?

      A pretty direct translation of запой would be 'bender', which although doesn't imply 2 days specifically, does imply a long term period of drunkenness/ generally being messed up due to partying or something. Also earworm is in the English language and has the exact same usage as Ohrwurm

      @angeldude101 Рік тому +42

      Here's the trick with English vocabulary: if English doesn't have a weird for something, it will just steal a word from another language. An example is the "schadenfreude," mentioned in an earlier reply, which looks German (because it is), but it's also an English word because English stole it from German. Anime is a fun example since Japanese stole it from English first, and then English stole it back but left it district from the original word "animation" (which itself is stolen from Latin).
