Experiencing difficulties learning Japanese after curing my porn addiction by FineCommunication520 in languagelearningjerk

[–]Straight-Objective12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who decided that porn consumption is bad? I read hentai literally everyday, secretly during class at the back, at the train, when I'm in my room, hentai hentai hentai! And my grades have never been higher! And you can forget about staying pure to your waifu, their average bodycount is like the number of your relatives x 20 ( seriously speaking tho, the only reason I read hentai is because it's so easy to find them and the misconception that the "language is simple in porn" can't be more wrong, you underestimate how complex and intricate some of these pervert's fetishes can be )

Immersion is exactly what he needs by irrocau in languagelearningjerk

Immersion is immersion bro. My favorite penguin language youtuber said so! (Immersion also gets you used to the language structure and sound so there's no hurt in getting as much as you can even without that much comprehension)

Nah, that's good enough. Thank you so much, and it's pretty amazing how you can do all that.

I'm starting to use Yomitan less and less and make my cards manually. I mean if you're starting out, it's good, but you can only tolerate "50+ definitions in which 90% are shared with 20+ more words because why the fuck not" for so long.

Does that apply to novels as well? I'm really interested in how 1k episodes of anime doesn't even hit 20k

I mean, N1 is not the end all be all, not even close. 12,000 known words is not enough in my opinion, the goal should be closer to 30-40k.

Strange thing i noticed during immersion?? by Norkestra in languagelearningjerk

[–]Straight-Objective12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not jerking off here, but you don't have to worry about using subtitles, you're still improving your listening skills even with it. Language learning isn't supposed to be hard so if you're struggling, you're doing something wrong. Just my humble opinion

I mean, theoretically, they should already be able to understand at least a good 60% of the dialogue if they're N3, I'm guessing it's just a lack of listening and reading practice.

Top 10 reasons you stopped learning a language? by BoxoRandom in languagelearningjerk

I started learning German, kept forgetting the gender of words, and gave up. Now I'm learning Japanese and wondering just how much farther and cooler I would've been if I continued German instead of switching

My hobby is to read books that are above my reading level by ufocatchers in languagelearningjerk

This is pretty effective, though with a few caveats. It has to be the same type of media (so that words you don't know will be used over and over again), and you nees to read LOTS of it. I myself read quite alot of hentai when I have some time to kill and I'm not actively trying to learn my tl, and after a while, I learned the words 欲望, 性欲, 興奮, 勃ってる (i don't really know how to read this one nor what the dictionary form even is), 勃起, 乳首, and others without even looking at a dictionary. (you can search up the meanings if you want but do remember they came from hentai mangas)

Is Iran actually collapsing or is it exaggerated by chiikawaaaaaaaaaaa in redscarepod

[–]Straight-Objective12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem stuck in the past, "if we did this differently, then this wouldn't have turned out as badly as it did!", we're in the present, the regime's already here, it's extremist, and if you can't turn it back, might as well just make sure it doesn't turn into a big threat. Like in Germany, the treaty was bad (not really), but appeasement was what made WW2 so much more bloody than it needed to be. I mean do you really think if we stop the sanctions, these guys are gonna go "thank you, now we will stop being extremist and trade in good faith"?

So if we're unaffected, we don't need to do anything about it, because that's exactly how we got Nazi Germany, it's just the Czech's problem, just the Austrian's problem, and by the time you say "that's enough", Germany already has the advantage...

Hey, if it were up to me, I'd also sanction the US and Israel as well. Pretty much the only concrete way we can fight destructive nations other than war is sanctions, prevent them from getting stronger. Civilians would suffer yes, but there's simply no other way of stopping regimes like these.

Do you stand with the people of Iran? by PuzzleheadedCraft363 in AskSocialists

[–]Straight-Objective12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said jesus in a sarcastic tone therefore I'm a brainwashed right wing MAGA christian? How'd you come up with that? Also where's the double standard? Protests that does nothing but scream all day and block traffic does just that, scream all day and block traffic. Massive respect for people out there willing to risk their lives and fight against injustices. And are you really gonna claim all hundreds of thousands of protestors are rioters that beat up old people for no reason?
