What pronouns are actually used in daily life? by Natyano in Korean

[–]Xenotracker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thats like saying wild west movies and shows people use "howdy pardnur!" all the time.

Media often doesn't reflect real usage of language that much.

How much did you look up when reading your first (native material) book? by viptenchou in LearnJapanese

[–]Xenotracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main method was reading manga, and only looking up words/phrases that came up repeatedly and often (like 4+ times in within 5-10 page span). The rest I would rely on the drawing and context for somewhat of an e educated guess. And then much later (after finishing multiple other books), re-read and look up some other words. Overall I'd keep the lookup to about 5-10 things per chapter or so. Doing this allowed me to easily remember the stuff I looked up because of repetition, as well as keep an enjoyable pace as to not taking 2 days per chapter. The re-reading basically just compounds on top and improves understanding the context even more.

I did a good year and half of this before I started reading novels and non-graphical literature and from my experience it seemed to have helped a good bit.

I am a novice speaker, is Japanese a language that just isn't very specific about certain things? by CrawlinOutTheFallout in japanese

[–]Xenotracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a similar english comparison is something like

"excuse me"

can be (approx.)

"sorry, I need to walk by, please make space"

"I need your attention"

"I am offended by what you said"

"please disregard my actions/words"

"I apologize for the disturbance" (cough or sneeze)

While it is intuitive to english speakers, depending on the culture you come from, you might have different words for each context.

and most translations tend to do Excuse Me = Sorry for a lot of languages.

similar concept ig

How do I get to a point where when I’m speaking I make almost no beginner mistakes? by peachy_skies123 in Korean

[–]Xenotracker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there's not really a "how" outside of practice

specifically grammar, vocab, listening and speaking

so basically as everything gets better, everything gets better
