Special Sup Forums FAQ: >What's the point of this thread? For learners of Japanese to come and ask questions and shitpost with other learners. Japanese people learning English can come too I guess. >Why is it here? The mods moved us here and won't let us go anywhere else. >Why not use the pre-existing Japanese thread? The cultures are completely different. >Go back to Sup Forums We'd like to. Bitch to the mods.
I'm really nervous i hope i can pass the test tomorrow

I have just 1 question for you guys. Is it normal (specifically in the early stages of learning) that when you turn off Anki, you get paranoid thinking you've forgotten absolutely everything that you apparently 'learned'?
Ian Jackson
from last thread, I meant this (Person + のこと) In some sort of way, is it used to refer to characteristics, feelings and personality too? I also saw it on キノの旅 when he asks about the robot lady (お婆さんのこと)
Mason Flores
In the interval between this and the last thread you could have actually gone and searched for it instead of being a retard.

You seem to be understanding it already.

Sounds like you don't have anything to test your japanese knowledge on
Just like playing a JRPG, there is more to it than just fighting bosses.
Do you have a japanese friend to talk to? Or perhaps a game you play that is japanese?
Give yourself a personal challenge for your japanese training
Actually, here's a challenge for you:
I challenge you to prepare by Christmas a merry christmas message for a japanese girl you know, and give it to her on Christmas Eve.
Dominic Hernandez
Forgot to comment "I like the cat video so I'm keeping it"
Hunter Price
yeah I have this feeling too, because I never talk irl with anybody in japanese I don't feel like I "know" japanese. But don't worry once you start using it again you realize you still know stuff. I once stop for 3 weeks to get some fresh air, and I felt really surprise of how well I could still read stuff once back.
Evan Nelson
This is Sup Forums man. Look through their other threads, this is what they do all day. It's basically /soc/ mixed with Sup Forums but focused vaguely on geography.
Nah he just needs to see those words more. He's just starting out, he's going to forget everything unless he drills it for a few days/weeks.
Aiden Diaz
>I challenge you to prepare by Christmas a merry christmas message for a japanese girl you know, and give it to her on Christmas Eve.
>just started talking to this girl >her english is cute >mfw
i can't do it
Jason Cook
This is the first time someone comes here and posts something completely unrelated to japanese. I know we are on Sup Forums now, but Sup Forums posters are still the majority.
Carson Cruz
Yes it's normal, especially if your production ability is shit because you don't spend much time speaking (or thinking) in Japanese. But it's not a problem unless you find that you're actually unable comprehend input suited to your current level, like texts using words/grammar you should know.
Jace Cruz

Is there an app for a phone that makes you write kanji with your finger?
Gavin Wilson
Kanji Study You need to pay to get access to anything more advanced than N5 though
Ryan King

No I have never thought that

Carson Morales
when you havent seen an advertisement for coca cola in a while do you forget what it is
Charles Cruz
how long is the jlpt? do i need to wear a diaper or do we get bathroom breaks
Julian Lewis
...
Austin Howard
You get a break between the reading portion and listening portion. The length depends on the level you take.
Samuel Ward
>The N1 is three hours long
jesus christ. good fucking luck anons
Angel White
Shit hte listening isn't first? I would have liked to be able to walk out 20 minutes early from the reading section
Oliver Gonzalez
It goes by surprisingly quickly. The essays are quite long and take a while to get through. The listening does tend to drag on, however.
Matthew Brown
Liquid in your bladder actually improves your concentration and memory by concentrating electrolytes in a blood-vessel-rich region of your body.
I suggest drinking as much as possible before the start of the test, preferably Gatorade. If you are allowed to take a bottle inside, keep sipping between every 5 questions.
Eli Gutierrez
Oh my god Japanese l/r's are hard
>入れる oh my fuck
Samuel Parker
The listening is last.
Brody Barnes
>The essays are quite long
You have to write essays in the JLPT? I thought it was the only the EJU that forced you to do that?
Leo Morales
I mean the essays that you have to read are quite long. The grammar questions are only one sentence each, but the reading comprehension section consists of several one- to two-page long essays.
Michael Young
All Ns are 3 hours long.
Ethan Rivera
いらっしゃられる
Brandon Roberts
Can you say "petal" or "pedal"? That's pretty much it.
Hyttlettloo.
Samuel Parker
>3 hours with a full bladder
so i need to wear a diaper
Blake Bailey
Good luck guys, the test starts at 12:30pm here.
John Richardson
All this talk of the JLPT... I haven't even thought about taking it. I should make it a goal to take the N1 next December.
Carter Cooper
>not taking it in July
Xavier Hughes
>implying you can do that in America
Levi Kelly
If I'm not mistaken it's all 択一問題, you don't have to write anything, just to pick between a) b) etc... for each question. Technically you could get N1 by picking randomly and get lucky.
Personally I'm more anxious about going there and getting the urge to pee than doing the test itself. It doesn't seem too difficult given you studied accordingly and tested yourself to J-CAT and such beforehand.
Lucas Taylor
You can't hold your pee for 1.5 hours at a time? Are you a woman on a road trip?
David Miller
I started learning japanese 2 weeks ago. I'm using Tae Kim's guide and memrise although i will be switching to Anki once i finish tae kim's guide.
what are my chances of being N1 ready next year? if I study a bit every day? (i can't study 12 hours every day i wish i could but i have a job and starting college soon)
Julian Collins
>what are my chances of being N1 ready next year?
0%
That's an honest answer. Unless >i can't study 12 hours every day
Nope, 0%
Easton Nelson
Now's not the time to be thinking about N1. Look at what's in front of you, not what's out on the horizon.
Austin Scott
I usually have to go every 2 hours, and when I'm nervous I have to go more often. It is annoying.
Levi Gonzalez
well i'm sort of on a time limit. i need to have an N1 certificate before i get my bachelor's degree so I can pursue post-graduate study in japan.
I don't have an associate's yet so i'm about 2.5 years away, so that gives me the 2017 and 2018 JLPTs to reach N1
you're right though, for now i'll focus on tae kim and memrise.
Joseph Lee
Question: Do you have an eidetic memory, or are you an autistic savant?
If your answer was: "Yes" >Possibly If your answer was: "No" >Maybe in 3 years. Maaaaaaaybe.
Tyler Wright
Are you usually a pregnant woman? How do you find time to feed your children and study Japanese?
Carter Hill
It says almost 2 hours straight on the first one. Commuting there takes time as well, then add the anxiety factor and yes it could become a problem.
Ian Roberts
入れる Are you putting a screw in your ass? L/R 左回し/右回し
Jordan Mitchell
Stop bladder shaming me, shitlord
Cooper Hughes
what is an autistic savant? am i ready to disregard videogames, money, and females for an entire year to study japanese? yes
Jason Reyes
>memrise STOP
Jace Ward
You'd be above par for autistic then, but savant is another matter
Eli Nguyen
DROP
Thomas Bailey
Why do you suddenly want to study in Japan?
Isaac Moore
what? are you asking why someone would take the JLPT, get N1, and go to japan?
you know japan is the only country that speaks japanese, right?
don't think i understand the purpose of your question.
I think he's asking why you want to study in japan, specifically
Grayson Mitchell
SHUT'EM DOWN OPEN UP SHOP
Jaxon Gonzalez
It just seems odd that if you were going to work so hard to study in Japan you'd have had interest in Japanese for a long time. Why did you only start learning two weeks ago?
Xavier Howard
To get a job?
I am so confused. If you think it's a waste of money, the japanese government actually carries your ass for this part.
The Japanese Government will literally pay you $1,400/month for post-graduate study in Japan
It's easy money and an easy path to the japanese workforce. Plus, since it's post-graduate study, you can drop school whenever you want (i.e. when you actually get a job) and there's no pressure to get a master's degree if you don't need it
It's an easy path to an amazing future.
All I have to do is fucking APPLY MYSELF.
Isaiah Taylor
>The Japanese Government will literally pay you $1,400/month for post-graduate study in Japan
I need to see receipts
Ryder White
>The Japanese Government will literally pay you $1,400/month for post-graduate study in Japan Gonna want some info on that, buddy.
Nathan Rodriguez
You need to have money and women to be able to disregard them.
Up to $2,000/month free money just for having good japanese
Dominic Edwards
>the japanese workforce is an amazing future
Ryder Mitchell
>you'd have had interest in Japanese for a long time
I did. What's your point, user?
Blake Brown
>Why did you only start learning two weeks ago?
Isaac Bell
time for try #4
Ryder Hernandez
>Gonna want some info on that, buddy. see Offered to 4,000 people every fucking year.
Aaron Hughes
How did your grammar go down?
Jayden Smith
>for Privately-Financed International Students This doesn't stack with the first scholarship, does it?
James Richardson
>>Why did you only start learning two weeks ago?
The price of living on the east coast. Japanese isn't taught in high schools or college here. This state doesn't give a single fuck about the country of Japan, so i'm stuck in a special kind of hell.
Alexander Ramirez
>Japanese isn't taught in high schools or college here. This isn't an excuse.
Daniel Nelson
Smells a little like できない right now.
Jaxon Edwards
地震って 面倒くさいよね まぁ無事でよかったけど
Justin Reyes
tests are not a concrete way of measuring knowledge and skill, specially multiple option ones.
Isaiah Cook
The questions are randomized, so maybe I just happened to see more that I knew that time
They can't tell you how good you are, but they can tell you if you suck or not. For example: passing JLPT doesn't mean you're good at japanese. But failing it means you definitely suck.
Levi Cooper
Pretty sure its like that in most places but nice excuse.
