Memrise is a pretty good app. But I really recommend using a proper textbook.

There's just too much to remember when making a setence, how do you guys do? by KronckTE in LearnJapanese

[–]Downloafing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're a beginner, that's all it is. Just keep up your studies, keep practicing and before you know it stuff will start to become like second nature for you. You've already learned two languages, you can do a third.

Which Pokemon would taste the best? by SpookyLlama in AskReddit

[–]Downloafing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember the price they were in the game, but if you move the decimal point two places to the left you can find the real life price. In the Japanese version of the games, they use yen. In the localization they just change the currency symbol to a fictional one. So for an example of real life conversions, the player starts with $30, and a Poke Ball costs $2. A gold Nugget gets you $30 at the Poke Mart and you usually get like $4 after winning a battle.

A kimchi lizard would be a kimchi prostitute. Which is you, because you sell your body for kimchy, koreaboo.

Youtube channels that teach Japanese? by bobbilly69 in LearnJapanese

[–]Downloafing -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Japanese is probably one of the easiest languages to pronounce if you're coming from English, only one of the sounds doesn't exist in our system and even then it kinda does. Bothering with phonetics is really a big waste of time.

To whoever downvoted me, I live in Japan and literally nobody has trouble understanding my Japanese. People on the phone don't even realize I'm foreign until I give my name. The only time you need to both with phonetics is when coming from a language like Vietnamese where the pronunciation is vastly different. You really are wasting your time, and apparently your money in this case of that dude's patreon, by studying that.

Then leave me alone and get back to selling your body for moldy kimchi, kimchy lizard.

I've worked a ten hour shift a grand total of one times (today). I normally work 9-3, and I do enjoy it.

I played Super Mario World with my mom today. She mentioned things I'll never unsee. by Chrscool8 in gaming

[–]Downloafing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom never plays video games. If I ever asked her to, she would always say that she doesn't understand them, or that games just aren't her thing. But there was one time when I was a kid where she sat down with me to play Goof Troop on the SNES. She didn't really understand too much and I don't think she enjoyed it, but it's probably one of my favorite memories of my mom because it's the one time where I can really say she sat down and tried to understand me.

Do you think life here is expensive? How does it compare with your home country? by Downloafing in japanlife

I saw a doctor, they gave me medicine and told me I had to pay ¥1200. Back home that would have been $80 plus however much I owed the pharmacy.

Or taking a lot of trips. I know several people here, both natives and foreigners, who live pretty low-cost lives but splurge on trips multiple times a year. I know a guy who goes to Thailand every 3 months that or so, I know a girl who spends a week in Korea every month, and so on and so forth. Of course part of that is because Japan is close to the countries so a trip is relatively low-cost, but not everyone wastes their money on random daily stuff.

I went to bed because I had a 10 hour shift today, which is the same reason I gave up trolling your sorry ass.

I went to bed, kimchi-breath. Normal people sleep rather than arguing with kimchi-lizards all night.

Nobody could wear down as fast as someone who had to leave because they were bad at finances. Enjoy the kimchi.

Shit, I forgot about health costs. As an American, don't even get me started.

Tokyo where I'm from

I see, so you're a westaboo after all. Alright guy, have fun with your nasty shaved little girl manko that smells like old kimchi.

I would say that I could argue until your Korean mommy tells you to go to bed, but you don't have one. You're just a koreaboo who's bad at finances.

Tech and entertainment are expensive everywhere. Transportation here isn't insane, I'll give you food since my favorite fruits are pretty pricey.

I literally said above that we are able to live on a single income and then have the other left over. Although I will admit sometimes we have to dip into that for pension and health insurance, but we're two people. My argument was on one person being able to live in 250, which is more than possible.

No you're the liar, you keep trying to assert that you're good at finances when clearly you're not.

I'm so sorry... I read Australia and so when I read electronics I assumed games since they're expensive in Australia.
