German, mostly because it's more usefull for me.

>Which is better

It would be best for you not to ask that question too often :)

why you live in germany ?

Japanese. So I can finally understand what they're saying before the fucking starts.

japan so i can undestand all those untranslated hentai and vn

I love Japan

it figures

Nip, I already live next to germans and know roughly 90%.
Could probably speak it fluently within a month if I really tried.
Besides, JAV and weebshit with full understanding is too sweet a deal to pass up.

Well Japanese is a nice language but learning it puts you in classes with some of the most cringe inducing degenerates you'll ever meet so German is your language if you wanna learn a second language just to avoid the "OHAIYO DAVID-CHAN! UGUU~ WATASHI WA ANIME DAISUKI" please just learn German or teach yourself Japanese at home, It's easier than dealing with those animals.

Japanese is more aesthetic. I enjoy how it rolls off the tongue and the way it sounds sorta cute but can also be intimidating when a male uses it.

German.

Why would anyone want to learn Muslim speak?

Weebnamefag please leave

German is the GOAT language. It's very masculine and strict, it just screams of fashyness. Let Dr Goebbels introduce you to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZRvafKSJ1ls

why not both?

I think I will go with jap as its harder which means german which is easier can be learned whenever, yeah I thought of self teaching

true

Trust when I say that you don't want to know what they're saying

Isn't it basically less autistic Dutch?

Genuinely curious who gathered this data, if they were native English speakers or not. I do believe it though, as from the small amount of Japanese I've learned, it seems to be an extremely inefficient language.

They also use very few phonemes compared to English, which is why it's almost impossible for native Japs to speak proper English but native English speakers can do just fine speaking Japanese.

>tfw being German and learning Japanese

because japanese has like over two thousand letters

nihongo

German because I live in Europe and might actually ever use it - plus it's way easier for a native englisher

why did you do it ?

It has like 3 alphabets and a million chink characters, it's such a fucking joke

No, but alot of companies in the Netherlands prefer employees who can speak German. Especially in engineering.

you're referring to Kanji, only about 1000 of those need to be learned and that's not as difficult as it sounds. The two other alphabets can be learned in literally 2 hours, but it'll take quite a lot longer before you can just read it by looking at it

I've been learning Japanese for a couple of years now. I'm at the point where I can read a lot of manga pretty quickly and even understand basic moeshit anime.

Also knowing Japanese made by trip there much easier and also more interesting.

...

Because I wanted to learn an Asian language and it's one I might actually use since I read Japanese authors (like Kenzaburo Oe and Mishima) and watch Japanese films (actual films and not Chinese cartoons for girls).
I already learned a bit Polish and I might learn Arabic or some other sandnigger shit later.

German is probably more sensible for Europeans. To learn nippongo you'd have to rearrange the language a fuckton to accommodate all the incoming loan words, it would make katakana hamfisted.

What are you using to study?
I started teaching myself in 2006 and I haven't gone anywhere in a decade.
I can just barely read some kana.

It's the other way around.

>Only about 1000
Try between 3000 and 4000 for fluency
Only about 2200 needed to pass JLPT I think

t. masochist

Masculinity isn't what makes up the entirety of aesthetics. Also not a weeb just because i like Japanese culture, I like many cultures, as long as they're not inherently violent or oppressive.

I learned german in elementary and high school, I know basics would need to refresh on it.

I watch a lot of dragon ball super and THE JAP VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER TO ME THEN THE DUB

Why not both?

I will caveat though that it would be pretty interesting to see how representative characters like kanji would work in the hands of European people. They're essentially hieroglyphs, so it's not a feature you see in contemporary European language. It requires more learning but it is actually pretty handy at conveying information "between the lines" so to say.

usually its just a literal introduction followed by lots of sugois and kimochis.

Trust me, its probably way more polite and formal than you were thinking.

Basically this. Learn as many languages as you can.

Reminder: If you're not fluent in at least two languages you're basically an Untermensch.

both are ugly as all fuck

learning nipponesian right now

well fucking anyone without learning could understand moeshit anime or it being spoken. It's a basic language with very obvious syllables which is easy to hear. Reading it is the challenge, and you could still do that indirectly with minimum effort. Writing in it is the challenge.

Japanese.
German is a language crafted for murderers and porn actresses.

PROBABLY WILL DO GERMAN AFTER

I WANT TO DEDICATED TO ONE FULLY, AT LEAST TO GET TO B1

AS I HAVE LEARNED GERMAN BEFORE I COULD EASILY GET IT TO C2 LONG BEFORE I GET TO B1 WITH JAP

>Japanese
>Not violent or oppressive

I'm more interested in the grammar and the evolution of the language. But thanks, my fat friend from across the ocean.

I mainly use Anki for vocabulary reps and also constant reading. I tried the whole mnemonic thing (KanjiDamage, Remembering the Kanji) but I found the only way to make it stick for me was forced repetition.

For grammar, the Genki textbooks are a decent intro (and they're pretty good for Kana too). After that, Tae Kim and just reading Japanese text (children's books, www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/, etc). and using a J->E dictionary and the Dictionaries of Japanese Grammar to brush up on things I'm not sure about.

If you're stuck at Kana I recommend to just keep writing them and doing the early Genki textbook exercises. Learning this shit takes willpower, I was pretty close to dropping it after a couple of months, but then I realized that I was finding it easier to read Japanese text and kept going. It's a nice feeling when you look at something you didn't understand a couple of months ago and think, "yeah, I can understand that now".

I became alt-right because the left won't protect Nihon.
If globalism wins then 50 years from now Japan won't exist, or at least it won't look like this.

Going for both right now, myself.

Awesome app. Free. Community Driven.

Both languages are dying. German will be the first to go.

Japanese cause girls cream when you speak a foreign language in front of them and Japanese sounds more exotic than German

>Japanese harder than German
Dude, Japanese is probably even easier than German. Anyway, I would prefer Japanese just because I like the culture (not a weeb btw) and the pronounciation is practically same with Finnish

Kanji is actually easier than hiragana and katakana. I always seem to forget how to write katakana (but I can recognize it when reading always) despite having learned it in high school.

You can learn 2000ish kanji in a year.

Katakana is from kanji though

Obviously german is the superior language. The germans dominated areas of philosophy, science and art for quite a while. Their influence in these areas is incontrovertible and you'd do better to learn the language in which these great advances were formulated.

That's what the nukes were for.

DUDE GERMAN IS LIKE RIGHT THERE AFTER ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Ill wait for memory implants to gain Jap fluency.

Japan's like 98.5% Japanese and racist as fuck.
Trust me, you should be more worried about America.

As a studied linguist I will have to say Japanese is a lot harder to learn when your native language is English since Japanese expresses certain concepts through entirely different grammatical structures. My favorites being things like "to like" or expressing future plans with adjectives. Also, all that politeness stuff that is culturally encoded is a nightmare when you're learning Japanese.

Arabic is the best language to learn, everything else is being made obsolete

Dutch

Well Finnish and Japanese are both Mongoloid trash.

Japanese and Arabic are about the same

Better off learning Japanese. By the time you're done you can just learn Arabic.

I was taught german at high school and also by watching spongebob on nickelodeon, I barely put any effort into it but I understand like 50% of what I hear
I've been teaching myself Japanese for about a year and half, I recognize like 1700 kanji and ~1200 words
I like it a lot better but it's also much harder imo
complete useless garbage for Japanese and I presume the same goes for German as well

japanese is better than turkish, at least japan has a future

German

At least for Japanese you can literally cut out around 1/3 to 1/2 of every sentence and still make sense, and this is done in most common speech. It depends a lot on what was tested, if they are going by full formal and proper sentences that's a big mistake.

It's fine for learning vocabulary but anything else it's complete dog shite

Learn Japanese and finish nan king like it was supposed to be done by the imperials

Did you use any apps or did you just pick the best textbooks?

Japanese. I'm more interested in travelling to Japan than Mudslimeville

>less autistic
Top kek. It’s ruthlessly systematic and descriptive up to the point where you have 25 letter words.

japanese. it has a stigma as an impossible language, therfore learning it will make you seem smarter even if you wont really need it at all i guess. i'm learning it as well and i'll just say one thing is don't try starting with thw hard stuff. the first time i tried learning i started trying to learn kanji, don't do that, it just made me give up at first. now that i restarted by learning the basic phonetic alphabets and learning basic spoken grammar, i feel an accomplishment and actually want to learn even more.

tl;dr learn the japanese way, start at first grade if you have to, it's better that way.

>THE JAP VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER TO ME THEN THE DUB
THIS. German version is still ok but I once watched one American episode. Jesus Christ. They even changed that funky original background music to some shitty American guitar rock.

Supposing you are European, why in the fuck would you want to learn japanese over German?

only textbooks I used were tae kim and genki though I went through genki in 2 days
skipping all the exercises because they are practically useless, I just read through the Japanese text making sure I understand what I'm reading
oh and I also used remembering the kanji for remembering the kaji
anki for drilling rtk and vocab
has all the resources you need

Well I witnessed how my friends struggled with German for 3 years and they said that it's hard as fuck. Especially the masculine and feminine shit was just too. We already study Swedish and English which are both mandatory. German on top of that is a burden desu

because I can and its different not latin based

+ it would be a good brain exercises to be able to express and think in a different language

nice tnx

What the fuck will you ever do with German? With Japanese you can watch and read manga and anime raw

Articles and grammatical cases are actually not that important for the language. It's important if you want to speak the language correctly but for communication purposes they're mostly irrelevant.

also good things to know before learning any new language so you're not stuck with no progress

Actually it has 2 alphabets Hiragana and Katakana and then Kanji which is tons of complicated designs kind of like pictures that mean tons of different full words such as "Love" or "Japan". You need to learn both Hiragana and Katakana which are fairly easy and maybe 400 to 500 Kanji symbols to understand most of what you need to know and at least 1000 Kanji to live in Japan somewhat comfortably. Kanji sucks because it's all about memory. Hiragana is what small children use in school. Hiragana also explains why Japanese people have such a hard time with English. Most of the letters in the alphabet consist of 2 letters in 1 so when they use English they use the closest thing in their language "Pac Man" turns into "PA-KU Man" You see these 2 letter words everywhere "Ka-Ra-Te" "Do-Jo" "Go-Ku" "Sa-I-Ta-Ma" "Yu-Yu Ha-Ku-Sho"

>What the fuck will you ever do with German?
Get a job you fucking NEET

Japanese.
In 50,60,70 years people will still speak Japanese.
On the other hand, in 50,60,70 years I will have to consider learning Arabic.

both, out pf sheer respect, admiration, honor and appreciation

BOTH

austria and switzerland still speak german though

For now
