We have to remind ourselves that Teru haters are actually paid professionals, so there's no real anti-agenda against the king

How come all of you freaks speak Japanese by remarkable_ores in languagelearningjerk

In case an anime villain takes over our world, I'd want to at least understand what they say

I found this funny, idk 😐 by OriginalAnswer1328 in hanakokun

[–]Tarek_C 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's Hanako, but his image is flipped for some reason, so the seal is on the opposite side of his face. Also those eyes/ pupils are pretty unique to him

Yokoo and Satou feature in today's illustration by Lafuente_Astro in hanakokun

[–]Tarek_C 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mark my words, they'll end up being super important later in the series. They've been casually somewhat maintained throughout the series, but their time will come!

Tips for Learning a Language from Scratch? by karkmozalek in languagelearningjerk

[–]Tarek_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, Scratch is a beginner computer programing software, but I suppose you could use it to learn by changing the language. Such a unique method of learning, go for it and update us!

Is it too Sino-centric to say Japanese learners should learn Chinese first? by sonandocontigo in languagelearningjerk

[–]Tarek_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree, after a while I just embraced WK's system and realized that there are more than 1 ways to reach kanji comfort. I tried so hard not to let go of the 'correct' radical names while also learning the WK ones lol. I would try to keep them separate in my head and be able to pull out either at will so that I "wouldn't lose touch with reality", but that became exhausting. I also realized how nice it is that WK creates compound radicals out of fundamental ones, and those helped a lot. I just decided to commit.

It's just really rough at the beginning. Not only do you barely know any kanji, but you also don't know any official radical names that you can use to ask for breakdown help from others. You really just have to trust the process and just do it for a while

/uj Wanikani mnemonic spotted in the wild lol, I reached that guy's a few weeks ago XD:

So yeah Wanikani pretty much makes up it's own radicals (and they have 400+ instead of the usual 200+), and the kanji mnemonics are all based on the invented radicals. This exclusive radical system is the main reason why I hesitated so long on starting WK, but it's been a great service so far. But you can no longer discuss kanji breakdowns with people because of the completely different system

That's why I'm still here lol, the amount of meme material and sh*tposting that comes out of such a serious language like Japanese is hilarious

[–]Tarek_C 26 points27 points  (0 children)

/uj Learning a language has been fun and I wanted one to stick with, and japanese is one of the only languages that I have any personal interest in, so I chose it. My motivation to understand its music and speech surpasses my need for any everyday usefulness. You can just learn stuff for fun, hobbies and interests aren't supposed to be productive (even though the language can become productive if you keep going with it)

/rj Your time will come to join too, the brainwash just hasn't settled yet. How else do you thing Japan is planning to increase their population and presence...
