WHO INVENTED THIS SHIT LANGUAGE

No one cares
Japan is a tiny islands filled with very few people
If you're going to learn an Asian language learn mandarin.
It's the second most spoken language.

Curious... was one invented when the typewriter came to be?

English has TWO alphabets! TWO!

>Two weeks to learn the Alphabet.
>Two weeks to learn Cursive.
>The rest of your life learning how to pronounce the weird fucking loan words.

WHO INVENTED THIS SHIT LANGUAGE

It serves a very specific purpose:
To keep foreigners out, gaijin

>with very few people

127.3 million people is "very few"? That's half the population of USA

>weeb wants to learn Japanese so he can use more magical japanland words in his day to day so life can be more like his animes

Dude just look some words up who fucking cares, you don't know anyone that speaks Japanese anyway. Also take your katana and get the fuck off the site. Weebshits are ruining Sup Forums by no staying on their containment boards.

Get right with God.

You can learn kanji. You have to have the right method.

Nobody cares you weaboo faggot

Hi CIA. What ya got against Japenese this morning? I don't get it?

We had this thread yesterday.
phonetically hira and kata are the fucking same you idiot.
You don't need that much kanji to get by unless you're some scholar who just wants to pass the N1 for faggot reasons.

There's actually no need for cursive you just need to learn to sign your name which can be a retarded scribble even.

Better off learning a native American language since this isn't the 1980s.

May I perhaps suggest Lakota?

i fucking love vowels

it has 3

>two weeks to learn the alphabet

>the rest of your life to never learn the difference between your and you're

american education

What's the right method?

>cursive is a different alphabet
Well meme'd

>not learning cursive
What are you an animal of some sort?

Sup Forums is a weebshit board you fucking delusional ancap

Is there a reason you're learning Japanese, or is just to watch anime without subs?

*teleports behind you*

You can learn Hiragana and Katakana both in a week. And then another week of memorizing and reinforcing and you'll be good for life.

Kanji will take you between six months to one year to learn all the two thousand or so you need to be considered literate.

actually, it has four.

you just happen to already know one (latin alphabet)

First learn the radicals; spaced repetition method for learning symbols is a must. For that use Anki software. Also, get dozens of notebooks and write, write, and write ever symbol until it get into your long-term memory. There's no shortcut, but it's not an impossible task.

I learn Mandarin.

>WHO INVENTED THIS SHIT LANGUAGE
The Japanese.

nah you just have shit orthography

Yu ʃuld wrait layk þis, it's izier eend meiks mor sens.

>127.3 million
that pretty much the amount of ppl who would undestand white person's mandarin
>inb4 chinese is not a meme
chinese is a meme

Yeah but in return you can say/write things with less words.

>Too smart for one alphabet

I wonder where German falls in those categories.

Medium.

Pretty much agree OP. Another thing I dislike is that in English for instance, you can guess the pronunciation of a unknown word, might not be right but you can ask someone and they probably understand what you meant and can help you. You can also look it up, google it for instance to know the correct pronunciation and meaning.

What the hell do you do if you don't know a kanji?

Also, don't they sometimes have the hiragana/katakana under some lesser used kanji in text just because there are so many people that won't know the kanji? So essentially they have to write the same word twice because their language is that idiotic.

Took Japanese for 3 years in high school.

It's really not that hard, you're just stupid.

I did learn it, it's just shit looking
Your point? You don't need cursive for anything.

>Sup Forums is a board

Wew fucking lad.

...

>Portuguese
>Easy

We have +15 verbal tenses
English have 3

>lists factors that make learners different
>does not list intelligence as a factor
>does not list anything other than environmental factors
what a cucked image.

they couldn't even use a euphemism like "your pace of learning"

the artist was no doubt a marxist, also the japanese the woman is speaking makes no sense

>English have 3
since when?

Learning any language but English is either for fun or a sign of respect, no other reason.

Why has this been reposted again? We've already had this conversation you faggot.

If you wanted a similar conversation don't just copy the last thread word for word, knobhead.

It takes a fucking day to learn hirigana and katakana. 2 weeks my ass.

The hardest part of japanese is the grammer. Not the syllabary

second for a job
third for a hobby

>not learning cursive
No better than niggers.

>tfw want to learn latin
>too retarded for even that
someone help

Four weeks to learn katakana? You fucking suck.

I suppose the job thing could be vital as well, could be chalked up under the sign of respect. If you live in Europe it's a bit more understandable, and if you move to a country you should speak that countries language.

>implying cursive isn't efficient.
I can write a letter in one quick stroke while you have to do two to four, faggot

not as hard as arabic or mandarin, huh Hajeem?

this

>What the hell do you do if you don't know a kanji?
you guess it based on similar kanji you know, because often there's a certain radical that controls the sound

but """knowing""" the kanji isn't really the problem. the real problems of japanese are:
>that there seem to be infinite homophones
>that some of these homophones have almost the exact same meaning and change nuance only by the way they're written
>that each kanji is actually pronounced sixty billion different ways depending on the adjacent characters, the time of day, and the current emperor
>that there are entirely different words written with exactly the same kanji but are pronounced differently
>that no matter how much you think you know a word, the japanese will combine it with two different verbs to form a new word which literally means "cut while running and catching" but means "to help out" or something stupid

>too smart to not watch animes

I'm currently learning German, then I'll learn Latin. You're not too dumb to learn it, you just need to find some interests that drives you to learn it. Mine is the old history around Christianity and biblical stories, always fascinated me.

I do it to keep my brain in learning mode.
Japanese takes a while, but if you switch to German or anything like that it seems so damn easy.

What's the most useful/fun language to learn that isn't Arabic, Chinese or Spanish?

>he doesn't know why cursive is used
>he magically forgot how to write any other way
>he probably doesn't write at all, just defends refugees with his keyboard all day
get a load of this fag

learning in europe anything than english is just plain stupid. anyway english is not as popular as ppl think - especially in europe

>learn Latin
dont. learn non meme language

beat me to it

Yeah, but it won't be legible to anybody who speaks English and is under the age of 35, to find a person under 35 who can still read pure cursive, good find.

I tend to mix print and cursive in my writing and it comes out looking like shitty handwriting.

What is the most efficient language?
Without taking into account the number of speakers.

but it's keeping achmeds and niggers away from their country, I don't see the problem.

I'm doing it for fun, I have no need to speak anything but English, unless it involves business. Even then picking up a handful of phrases is enough to impress people and show respect.

More like 2 weeks to learn hiragana and katakana simultaneously idiot.

Russian if you're going into a science field. If you're business, then whatever language you intend to do the majority of your business with.

Fucking bakka gaigin.

English, why do you think it's used by almost everybody?

>efficient language
what do you mean by this?
the easiest? english
the most proper for expression? french or any slavic
most efficient - concise = korean

> two weeks
> four weeks
Sorry, but you're retarded.

Those aren't alphabets you fat retard
Katakana and Hiragana are syllabaries and Kanjis are a logography
They're easy to learn, they just take a little bit of time
After 3 months of studying Chinese I already know ~630 hanzi

Finnish, I can just say "no, niin, vittu" and make a days worth of sentences out of them with different word order and intonation.

Is German the easiest language to learn for Anglos?

...

I sense a lack of motivation and detication.

even if you just learn hiragana and katakana, and then go and tell kanji, actual japanese sentence structure, numbers, days, weebs, and all of mainland japan to fuck the hell off, you'll still be at a major advantage in being able to use google translate and know the often-untranslated sound effects in weeb cartoons, and practicing the basic characters is actually a lot of fun if you have even an ounce of penman in you

for extra fun and arguable usefullness you can unironically follow the Namasensei lesson plan and spend your time drinking and writing characters over and over instead of posting on Sup Forums for a while

are you sure that's not because of history and all colonies, west world economy and etc.

>your and you're
>difference
>american education

It takes 2 hours to learn hirerganer and katterkarner, 4 hours if you're really stupid. Rormarji is another 5 hours.

Then it's 2 months or so for the 2000 Karnjii that you will need to read modern japppunase. Grammar takes a further 3 months or so.

t. that one theoretical guy who learned japppunase in 6 months

no, due to retarded syntax. french probably

why on earth would you want to talk to a chink

That would be Frisian, but as almost no one speaks it go for Dutch desu lad

Read this.

> it won't be legible .. to find a person under 35 who can still read pure cursive
You have to be mentally retarded to not be able to read cursive.

>>>two weeks to learn hiragana
>>four weeks to learn katakana
Not true. These should only take 12 hours each. A day, max.
Also, you only need to learn 300 kanji to get by in day to day life. That's practically nothing.

Add an o or an a to the end of a word, congratulations, you know 1/3 of Spanish.

Oh boy its this thread again.

Get a job weeb. A real one. Not teaching english in Grorirus Nipporn

Quite frankly, bullshit.

It is a board. Of images.

>he doesnt want to visit the vatican

>English have 3
And you still couldn't get it right.

>Talking shit about verbal tenses in English
>Uses the wrong verbal tense in English

I'd pay any amount of money to finger fuck the books in the library.

>italian

easy
i found german classes way easier than french

like an idiot i didn't even try japanese

Found the nigger.

>Learning Mainland Commiechink
That shit is cancer and you know it.

This thread again? You couldn't even use a new image you unoriginal faggot? You got BTFO last time, too.

maybe he meant the english (people) then it would be right
