This thread is for the discussion of the language, culture, travel, daily life, etc. of Japan. Let's tark at randam in Japanese and English. Take it easy!
You only need to take it once in High School (Grade 9) and while I absolutely aced it French Canadians are absolutely subhuman so I haven't used it much and have forgotten most of what I knew. I still recognize SOME French and can occasionally make sense of a French phrase but I could never hold an actual conversation in Francais. And most English Canadians are the same as me, it's probably a rather small percentage of our population that is French bilingual (and a larger portion that is Mandarin/Cantonese bilingual)
Can you learn to read Japanese without learning to speak it?
Also what's a good iOS kanji app for fast memorization? Right now I'm using one called "Japanese" and I've finished the maximum 50 that it quizzes you on. I figured it's best to get a good number of kanji down to test my dedication before going hardcore into grammar.

>Can you learn to read Japanese without learning to speak it? What kind of question is that? How would you learn a language in written but not verbal form? Since quite a bit of kanji are pronounced differently depending on their use in a word or a sentence, it's pretty much impossible to learn to write it without being able to speak it as well. One example that comes to mind would be 人 (person/human) - it's pronounced hito on its own, but when added at the end of other kanji like for example 日本人, it changes to -jin (in this case, the full word is nihonjin, Japanese person.)
So short answer: no, you can't.

>Getting that angry at this
Chill the fuck out.
Yeah that's pretty much what I did. I read well but all awkward when it comes to speaking.
>it's pronounced hito on its own In general, kanji has two pronunciations which called "音読み" & "訓読み". Also "音読み" don't combine with "訓読み".
Tyler Walker
But I think that we can learn to use only book(if you learn to ''hiragana'' and that pronounce). Because I am deaf but I learn hiragana pronounce and I read ''kanji'' book with ''furigana(hiragana)'',so I was be able to learn Japanese(but sometime I mistake diffcult kanji pronounce).

>So short answer: no, you can't. Of course you can, I mean most people can read manga way before being able to hold a conversation (real, not a phrasebooky one) DJT basically only learns to read Japanese

I think that thease Japanese are used in familiar person and friend(but ''manko''and so on never use except famillar boy person who can talkblue joke) ,so it's need to learn ''teineikei'' and formal Japanese first.
> Do people like it in Japan? No, It is not popular in Japan. I've never seen that in my life. I knew that yesterday.

I need a graphic logo rendered in katakana and the English alphabet. For example, I want my graphic logo to say "Apple" and 「アップル」but stylized like the Coca-Cola typeface... Who is more appropriate for this professional task? A Japanese graphic designer or any competent graphic designer who doesn't necessarily read Japanese?
Joseph Morris
Yes, Japanese like coffee very much. Japanese drink coffee in the morning.
Eli Adams
Since you'd almost certainly need to get that logo done from scratch (I doubt there exists a typeface in katakana that mimics Coca-Cola's style) you can probably just go with any designer who can pull it off.
Do you think it's easy to find a mean Japanese girl who wants to piss in my face? I love those gal pornos where they humiliate the man
