Are you mediocre at Japanese, decent or have no idea. I was just wondering becuse in other threads they were saying that most Naruto watchers were no good and Japanese.
I my self am no Japanese expert but i understand keywords and silly thinks like Ero-sennin and Chindori over Lightning Edge.
i just started a pimsleurs course that i "bought". thanks foomanchew [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. but anyway, assuming that most people would start a series from the beginning, there would eventually be a point where the japanese words can be used instead of the translation
Shouldn't this be in general discussion?
Any way, I myself, have taken three years of Japanese - which is enough to a) understand what is going on in raw eps, though a lot of the grammar goes over my head. b) recognize different dialects and ways of speaking; c) with the aid of a dictionary, be able to translate raw manga a bit. d) read basic kanji.
Honestly, I finally understood most of the grammar concepts after hearing them used in anime.

[img]i/expressions/musicnote.gif[/img] a song from azumanga daiyo (!!!), was a life saver on a couple of tests, when i had to write short paragraphs on tests - it has so many common verb forms in one little song . . . Thank you, Chiyo, from the bottom of my heart. [img]i/expressions/heart.gif[/img]
no fucking idea.
ORO?????!!!!
Lol @ InnerSakurachan.
I think my Japanese is good enough to eat at a restaurant. Point at the pictures and arigato arigato.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
dropped college Japanese one three times, due to my lack of study skills and kept falling behind as teh class progressed without, haven't gone back in 3-4 years to attempt my fourth failure. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
heh, so my pronunciation of words is getting way better on speaking the language while watching the dubs but my comprehension is still at basically zero.
does it count if you pick up that the translation has left out things? Like when you say to yourself wait I think they really said more I can read faster why didn'tthey include all that they said. Or why drop off some of the affectations, of words.
I have never taken any Japanese classes in my life. My sister has taken a several years of Japanese and I still correct her pronunciation. I find that through my many years of watching anime, I have developed a good ear for the language aswell as good pronunciation. I intend to learn Japanese in the future when I'm not too busy with my animation classes.
I would love to have true training in japanes. but i was so bad at french they kicked me out of that class the thrid year. Most canadians go thought all those French classes. heck the town i live in is supposivly got a high concentation of french speaking people. WHy am i talking about french? because it is 5am and i am keeping myselg busy i guess. need sleep. But must learn japanes and go to japan and get lost
I got no idea, although some of the words do sound the same as Chinese.
If I know any Japanese at all, I've learned it from anime. Shows that have serious repetition (like naruto, to give this topic some relavance for being in this section of the forums) make learning a few words really easy.
I know I've picked up a fair amount of Japanese from watching anime, rather than practicing via by books and tapes. I'm hoping to go to Japan and become fluent via immersion later this year.
Ive also learn most of my Japanese through animes. And my pronunciation is getting better.
i would say im inbetween decent to no idea, because i just started
i do understand the basics, and i actually borrowed a couple of books from my friend who already took a year of japanese
im gonna take japanese courses once the fall quarter begins though
right now im trying to learn the basics and try to write hiragana and katakana
i know all of hiragana and the vowels of katakana so far, but its useless unless i know more japanese vocabulary[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
kanji is gonna be hard, but im chinese and my parents know how to read/write it, so the translation is easy but saying it would be a different thing
And like Goingin saidOriginally posted by: The_Fourth

Thats when I started to bother to learn Japanese. I always wanted too though, but sometimes, you miss some things becuz you're too busy reading the subtitles. I know most common words that I can understand without readding the subtitles, like why, what, thanks, and some sentences, like are you ok, or i understand. But when it comes to words that you wouldn't use in everyday chit-chat, then im clueless. But sometimes, i can pick up a few words.I didn't know any Japanese at all before i got into the world of Anime
ive done the first couple of lessons of pimsuleurs thingy
nanniiii??
I have picked up quite a few simple phrases from anime but most of what I have learned has come from looking at song lyrics.
Moved to general discussion.
I took a Japnaes class at my collage. The teacher was really surprised at my propniceation and inflection with words. When he found out I watched alot of anime he laugh, later he said alot of the good americain students in his class watched alot of anime before taking the class. But I've forgeten most of what I've learned except how to say "Kore wa nan desu ka?" " Sore wa hon desu" and stuff like that. but I want to learn Japanese so I can go to Japan and train at a few Kando dojo's, and to be able to watch import anime and read import manga.
i dont know much at all. i know some words.
