5 years ago I started learning Japanese after a trip to Tokyo. I didn't study every day but I put into it enough hours to have learned another European language fluently in that time frame.
Since then I've met and talked to many Japanese people and discovered I hate their fake personalities and their shitty prison like culture. I've become able to read short articles and some manga in Japanese, I recognize a lot of the dialogue in Japanese tv drama. But that reward is small compared to the effort I put in.
I don't enjoy anime and manga anymore, I can't stand j-drama anymore and I have no intention of spending time in Japan except for the occasional summer holidays. Japanese people make Nordic autists seem socially adap, and their general autistic behavior is probably the biggest reason I dropped learning more japanese.
All that time spent on learning Japanese I could have spent learning a language spoken by less socially awkward people such as Spanish or French. Or I could have spent that time learning a worthwhile skill such as programming.
Don't make the same mistake as I did. If you intend to learn Japanese remember you will learn a language you rarely will use after your interest in anime and manga fades off. A language of some of the most socially inept people outside of Finland and Russia. It's not worth it. Your time is limited and valuable, use it on something worthwhile.
lol dude you could've learned this about them without learning japanese
sucks for you
Mason Powell
OK dude chill lmoa 大丈夫?
Ryder Jenkins
Theyre not socially inept, they just hate foreigners. face it. Japs are just racist as fuck and they don't like to talk to Non Japs.
Logan Morris
I was infatuated at first. But I grew more and more frustrated by how two-faced japanese people are and how strict they're about everything.
I'met a lot of people from South-America in the same time-frame and the contrast between latinos who can talk and joke about anything and Japanese who take everything so seriously and can't express their emotions like the autists they are really highlighted how fucked up Japanese culture is.

Nah, they're not racists. Certainly not more than Europeans.

Yes, they are. Also, white Europeans and Americans are generally more accepting and loving then Japs you, dumbshit.

I was typing this on my phone so there were typin errors, obviously. Also, you'd rather agree that your country is full of autistic then? Because that's the only other explaination.

I 100% guarantee you've never been to Japan
Jordan Sullivan
We grew that "autistic" way Japanese people either dont like foreigner culture because its too weird or wants to et fucked by it because its too dofferent

If you learn Japanese you have much more new entertainment available than most other languages aside from English of course
James Walker
Too long
John Williams
Don't learn japanese you stupid weeaboo faggot. Try French: Vive la France ! youtube.com/watch?v=4K1q9Ntcr5g Arise children of the fatherland The day of glory has arrived Against us tyranny's Bloody standard is raised Listen to the sound in the fields The howling of these fearsome soldiers They are coming into our midst To cut the throats of your sons and consorts To arms citizens Form your battalions March, march Let impure blood Water our furrows

James Price
The thing Japanese people found weirdest about North America culture was how relaxed we are about a lot of things and in general have a culture of letting things slide so long as the bottom line is maintained and shit gets done. In Japan how you behave and what your personal lifestyle is like is as important to your work reputation as your actual skill in doing your job.
Brandon Cox
they like you 100% because of your physical appearance rather than your personality. it's like saying people in L.A. treat "you" nice.
Andrew Brown
"North American culture" nice try cancucks
Christopher Bell
I live in Toronto and its the same shit as any big city in the States. I lived down there for a while.
Nathan Ortiz
French has just as much entertainment available. If you consider talking to people an entertainment (I do) then Spanish offers just as much. Plus I enjoy watching football and the best teams are Spanish. Latino talk shows are quite cool as well.
Jose Diaz
Autists can be kind too you fucking retard. Social skills involve more than being kind.
Angel Bell
Well yea, If you're a normie that likes normie shit you might be better of learning a cuck language like French so you can talk with Jamal
Connor Thompson
Yeah, japanese are racist/xenophobes. When they compliment you on how well you use chopsticks, that's a backhanded compliment. Life in japan is full of these types of acts, you may just not realize this because it sounds nice. Be aware also when a japanese person compliments your ability to speak japanese.
Parker Robinson
Jag vet hur du känner dig, norgebror. It's nothing but a waste of time. None of them want to get to know you for who you are. No matter where you come from, they'll use you as an English teacher and a symbol of status. They'll never try to become your actual friend. Being here in Japan for a year has done nothing but turned me into nationalist. Can't wait to go back home.
Grayson Bennett
Living in Japan ends up killing you on the inside after the first 6 months or so.

Seeing as Japanese society is like this, shouldn't it foster a strong counter culture full of youth who aren't?
Christian Wilson
I've seen so many foreigners staying in Japan who have no intention to learn or understand the Japanese language and culture. I agree it's quite weird to them and some things are hard to understand, but that kinda stance never helps. It's true that Japanese pretty much always see a foreigner just as "gaijin", but those foreigners just give up trying to integrate, and make no efforts. Oh, and those weeaboos, they talk to me like i know anything about retarded otaku shit, but don't fucking get dissapointed when they get to know I have no interest in their favorite anime or whatever it is.
David Young

>become fluent in japanese >Japan is shit >become fluent in korean >Korea is shit
I'm contemplating learning chinese because australia will probably end up being a chinese colony in the future
Ayden Miller
Dont wanna live in Japan ever but I think I can give some insight. For us Whites its usually the others tha have to integrate and adapt to us. I mean the world grew adapting to us, its thus hard for us to be on the other site for once. Japan is one of the rare places where the natives dont have to hug up to us due to our money. If I moved to Chile or an African country like France I wouldnt even think of adjusting to their culture, its shit and I have no reason to, I can life fine there even without. In Japan I couldnt, I would have to work there and in order to do so I need to adapt.

I studied French in highschool and I was just wondering, do I have to learn Arabic too for the authentic Frenchman experience? Thanks in advance.
Jose Allen
Also there are many foreigners who think It's unfair not to be accepted as one of "US" just because they are able to speak Japanese. It's like me expecting local people in a homogeneous European country to treat me as one of them just because i learn the language. It will never happen, and it's the way it is.
Dylan Fisher
Nah mate, not understanding the two groups of tards who refuse to speak anything other than arabic in your town is part of the experience. How are you going to ignore them completely if you understand them?
Owen Reyes
fucking mongoloids!!!
Mason Jones
Europeans are racist as fuck.
Even in the so called progressive countries like Sweden and Norway the vast majority merely hides their outward racist thoughts.
It's why most of Europe has a problem with integration. No one likes interacting with foreigners. Everyone perfers talking to someone who shares your language, accent, religion and ethnicity.
Jose Smith
How come you are living in Japan sverigebror?

I realize that It is too difficult to live in other countries. Is there person who live in japan some day? How do you deal with things if your parents will get sick? You dump your parents or dump japan?
Nathan Hill
>How do you deal with things if your parents will get sick?
The state offers free healthcare and retirement funds. In western european countries old parents aren't heavily dependent on their children for help unless they have like Alzheimer's or something.
Ryan Hernandez

Brandon King
You must be pretty stupid.
Camden Myers
All of the countries in this thread are autistic as fuck.
Cooper Scott
I actually hate the Chinese even more. Nothing would make me happier than Japan obtaining nukes and teaching the chinks a lesson. But nice try though sperg lord.
Carson Collins
Does that mean you leave your sick parents alone? If it getting worse and your parents will die,Your parents won't spend the last day with you. Is this ok?
Daniel Wood
I think you are more autistic than most of us.
Jackson Sullivan
This guy says Japanese is the hardest language to learn for native English speakers. youtube.com/watch?v=QaEZ5_hfEc4 I assume most Europeans also have same difficulties. Is Japanese really worth learning for the sole purpose of understanding anime/manga in the original language?
Christopher Butler
I'm interested in learning Japanese and I don't even watch anime.
What now?
Easton Carter
Kek, you deserve it weebshit.
Chase Williams
Haha, no way. Japanese people are police and nice but have limited social skills. I even worked at a popular tourist site once and by far the least sociable people were the japanese. Talking to them was like talking to robots. They can't seem to relax unless drunk
Jonathan Bennett
Japan didn't fit your personality. That's all. There are also people enjoying in Japan. Stop generalizing.
Ryder Sanchez
>This guy says Japanese is the hardest language to learn for native English speakers Nah. Japanese is more accessible to english speakers (and overall people familiar with most european languages) because it has some form of phonetic ties with its writing systems. Chinese on the other hands has not only a complete disconnection between written language and phonetics but is also tonal, something that no european language is, making it much harder to learn.
Jose Hill
>There are also people enjoying in Japan. People who have the ability to enjoy Japan here are often people that are seen as mentally retarded and live on the bottom of our society.
Nathan Miller
Thank fuck I learned to play an instrument instead. I was at a crossroad in my life where I would either become a full weeb and learn Japanese, waste a shitton of my time playing and "speed running" videogames/getting good at bullethell or rhythm games or I could spend that time learning an instrument. Now I can socialize with people through music and I have learned a skill that is socially acceptable.
Jaxon Rodriguez
>German Well said.
Brandon Lopez
>implying dumb weebs who learned japanese and went to Japan because of their beloved animus don't start to hate it if they stay more than one month and start to realize it's not a moe-moe land full of kawaii meganeko and shibe inu, but an actual real place with a lot of problems and that is very poorly depicted in mainstream fiction
Michael Bailey
at least you dont have to wait for translations.

this. Americans in New York or Los Angels aren't racists, but other whites are worst racists.
Connor Scott
Tell that to Shizo Kanakuri.
Andrew Davis
That's probably because Germany and Japan have very little in common when it comes to culture and cultural imports/exports.
