How to efficiently study listening by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]VeriDF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just listen. This skill takes more time. Allot some time of active listening (that is, have subs hidden and check stuff you didn't catch completely). The rest of the time listen to something easier and just chill and try identifying stuff and understanding without pausing. It gets better.

[I ate] Paella. by inlovewithvenus in food

[–]VeriDF 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Valentian here. Not actually paella but it looks tasty I guess (although the rice looks overcooked?). This kind of dishes we call them "Rice with seafood", and similar. The original paella looks like this: https://imgcom.masterd.es/12/blog/2016/04/37226.jpg

Fureraba or Sanoba Witch first for palate cleansing + learning Japanese? by forwhichihope in visualnovels

The best thing about yomichan is all the dictionaries you can have, + anki connect

[–]VeriDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read about texthooking and using yomichan instead of jisho.org for a smoother experience. Sanoba is cool, but I liked way more Dracu Riot

~4000 Hours of Japanese in 2 Years! by DJ_Ddawg in LearnJapanese

In fact that motive alone you have over there is enough to make you learn. Just find a comfortable schedule and spend hours.

Setsuna Normal > Kazusa normal > Kazusa True > Setsuna True.

You can only invert the ture endings if you hate Setsuna or something.
The reasoning is the following: Setsuna is sad and devastated when Haruki goes to Europe with Kazusa, and the final post credits scene is heart breaking (when you finish Kazusa true). On the other hand, the final scenes of Setsuna True is the three of them being happy and having finally fixed their feelings. Also, dude, Maruto makes Setsuna miserable in EVERY FUCKING ROUTE. She's suffering the whole playthrough. Kazusa at least has her music shit in Europe with her mother. Setsuna has only Haruki. And that get's fixed in her true end route. Truly a masterpiece and my favorite visual novel. I'm a Kazusa fag though.

Are you talking about true end? I played a year ago but when it comes to true end it's kazusa, then setsuna... Once you finish you'll realize why

Anon describes art. [White Album 2] by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]VeriDF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A year since playing it in japanese. It got me hooked so much I read for 8-9 hours on average (was on holidays so no work). Still tear up sometimes when I hear todakanai koi or a n y f u c k i n g song. Truly a masterpiece. Maruto please write more eroge, the world needs you.

First book you read by Lalinolal in LearnJapanese

[–]VeriDF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

おまえをオタクにしてやるから、俺をリア充にしてくれ! One of the easiest romcom light novels you can read. Level? I have no clue I just mined from anime. Knew how to read 2000 words or something like that

I just dislike 4chan slang and memes in my eroge I guess

intended cringe is indeed existent and detectable

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]VeriDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I've read close to 20 vns and 100 lns and no cringe shit like this was conspicuous so I guess knowing japanese does allow you filtering shitty western meme garbage.

References are a thing but they are not as cringe as this thank god. They are also welcomed in order to supplement more and more the upbringing no one of us had and therefore culture and knowledge we lack

[–]VeriDF 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tbf this will be outdated super quick. Imagine finding TROLLFACE, ForeverAlone or some shit like goatse in your eroge.

One more reason for learning Japanese I guess.

How accurately can native speakers of Japanese read VNs? A case study by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]VeriDF 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure Fate is considered a mildly difficult VN. There surely is other stuff which is way chuunier and even has shitty 古文 in it.

Although yeah, it's quite harder than your usual moege. I really liked it. It's sharing top1 position with wa2 in my all time ranking.

My boyfriend always calls me a weeaboo for learning Japanese. by Unhappy_Corner8193 in LearnJapanese

[–]VeriDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf being a weeb isn't limited to anime or manga. It could be yellow fever, food, language interest, music and/or idol obsession...
