what's the difference between germany and austria and checz?
my german teacher said these were same country

Germany is bad, Hitler and so on, they don't have a sense of humour.
Austria is good, beautiful nature, Mozart, Beethoven, clean water, magnificent castles.
Checz have good internet.

Guys what's the point? This guy achieved more than you will ever do, but it changed nothing.

>I say this, as Japanese people scarcely develop meaningful connections with others. They’re busy– always busy– without time to speak with others outside of highly organised and artificial drinking ‘parties’. The only time you can actually meet with someone here is if you happen to be a part of the same club, class or event. And even if you both happen to coincidentally be free one day for lunch, you will have to carefully schedule it days or even a week in advance. Nothing happens naturally, and nothing develops beyond this shallow game of pretend. Everyone is your acquaintance, and nobody is your friend.

>I try so much with the people here, desperate to make living on the other side of the planet even slightly less suffocating, that I have no time or energy to deal with my actual coursework. I just can’t give a damn. I’ve always learnt Japanese through reading books and speaking to Japanese people, and get little to nothing from classes (most of which is wasted by the loud American exchangers who incessantly yell and interrupt the teacher). And hence I’m failing, despite most of the lectures containing content I already learned months or years past. Heck, I don’t even know if these courses will count for credit in my home university to begin with.

The author is Veronin, also known as Komeiji, somewhat famous tripfag from Sup Forums. Well, he was, years ago.

>Depressed beta thinks going to Japan is going to magically cure his problems
I bet he thought he was gonna swim in pussy once he arrived.

>tripfag from Sup Forums.
Another sign he's a problem child

>I bet he thought he was gonna swim in pussy once he arrived.

Undoubtedly. But he also seems to crave some kind of emotional connection. Then again, that might just be a cover for wanting pussy.

maybe he just doesn't have much friends in japan.

Guess he's not as fluent as he thinks he is in actual conversation.
I mean it took him ~40 minutes to finally express his feelings after being shot down.

>But he also seems to crave some kind of emotional connection
Japan seems like the worst place he could've gone.
Even if it's easier to get laid in Japan as a foreigner, women just see you as "a bit of fun on the side".
Since you're not Japanese they kinda feel like nobody is gonna know about it and so nobody is gonna shame them for it.
But once you start becoming to close they'll start feeling like you're a nuisance and liability and get rid of you.
That's probably what happened between him and the girl.

This isn't just japanese women. Even here I find it easier to become sexfriends if you have no friends in common.

look at that, the annoying underage kid now all grown up

> I used to think the same of people in my situation, and felt jealous of all the foreigners studying or working in Japan. I hated western culture. I despised it, and I wanted to escape.

He built his life around his feelings of inadequacy towards others. Never a good idea.

>all these faggots with a bachelor's degree and moving straight to japan with minimal pre-existing knowledge of japanese

where did i go wrong in life

I just hope you guys comforn to japanese customs and don't try to make japan into your country.

i created thread on Sup Forums to discuss this issue
please share your experiences

なんで?

I-I am a different person from one who you think.
I'm sorry for replying to you.

あの。。なぜか?

多くの人です

>I am a different person from one who you think

A person who applies verbal abnormalities like stuttering into written English is not a different person from the autist that I described.

Why are you angry so much?

Did you pass at least N1?

私が絶望を感じる
I feel despair

Is this correct grammar? If it is, why is it an exception of [part of body]に[feeling noun/adjective]を感じる

No, I didn't pass JLPT at all.

Aw fuck I've been slacking off a little lately.
But I'll give my best from now on!

I'll read 2h before doing my reps cause I think reading > reps, but I'll still do my reps everyday now.

Just not sure what I do with my mining deck, thinking about learning my mined words the same day I encounter them so I know the context or I just copy the sentence as well?

(wrong pic last time)

Passing N1 gives you 15 points towards becoming a HSP.

Reading Heisig, DoJG and then manga or books. Will that be enough to learn japanese? I don't plan on posting here much just want to get started right.

You forgot eating a Japanese.

Really?
I will try it.

What about the other 55 points?

for people struggling with grammar and feel like it's extremely boring and want some variety and some spoonfeeding

i reccomend watching 日本語の森 on Youtube, they cover a lot of grammar from N5 to N1 and teach it in Japanese so you can get your listening comprehension up to scratch too.

it's not for everyone and it's not perfect but it's pretty good.

I guess I can get that.

Adjectival Nouns #14: Revision

Adjectival Nouns used as predicates

Hopefully, if you have been following along, you should be able to read these sentences. Don't worry if you can't remember the etymology, as long as the words and meanings have stuck its all good. For best retention results, revisit kanji over a three day period. First day two learn, followed by two revisions. Try not to translate sentences into English, read them in Japanese and understand them in Japanese.

あの辞書は便利だ。でも、それは便利じゃない。

鈴木さんは昨日ちょっと静かだった。

高田さんはいつも元気です。

あの学生はまじめじゃありません。

メアリーさんは綺麗で、親切な人です。

Adjectival Nouns followed by a predicative phrase

この辺りは安全だそうだ。

このアパートはあまり静かじゃないそうです。

このレストランはおいしいスープで有名なんです。

高橋さんはもう95歳ですが、とても健康なようです。

田中教授はあの論文にとても批判的なようでした。

日本の地下鉄は便利なはずだ。

このプログラムは最悪のようだ。

彼女は今独身のはずです。

この地区は安全そうだ。

あの人は病気かもしれない。

伊藤さんの家庭はとても裕福らしいです。

あそこは静かだろう。

That is all for today. Regular lessons will resume tomorrow.

Check out the 小学館ジュニア文庫 series.
I especially liked their detective conan novels.

Then leave this thread forever if you want to make it.

why take the HSP if you're still young?

HSP is only for rich people, and if you're rich you should just get a japanese student visa and just go to school in japan for a few years

not sure i understand, but maybe it's an old people thing.

m-my teacher

I can speak Japanese a little.
daily conversation, honorific language, a short essay, and so on.
I have been in Japan since I was born.
I learned English recently.

>コーヒーは私のいちばんのすきの飲みもの。
How can I better express this?

>"I have been in Jance I was born"
>"I can speak Japanse a little"
>"a little"

何?

Japanese language is very difficult.
All of Japanese are always learning in their lives.
It doesn't have the end.

コーヒーは私の一番好きな飲み物です。

Otherwise it seems like fairly nice basic sentence about coffee.

Thank you, that looks better! I forget that "like" is an adjective all the time in Japanese.

Use 俺 instead of 私 if you have a Y chromosome
Use 一番好きな instead of 一番の好きの because it's just wrong
End the sentence with だ or です

There seems to be a lot of debate on what to call yourself in Japanese, and that sentence is going into a short introduction essay for my teacher, so I'll just use 私 instead.
There was no です at the end because I copy pasted and didn't proof-read before I posted here.

I see. You seem like a good person.

Be careful, the english on Sup Forums is not actual english.

4ちゃんの英語は本当言葉ない

"Rude english" is practiced here.

Is that sentence the first mention of コーヒー in your essay?

あげ an inflection of あげる?
>さあもう行っておあげ

Yeah, why?

Personally I always use 朕 because I am descendant of Franz Ferdinand.

has to be but sounds like a dialect

Then it could be cool to first introduce it in a sentence like (私は)毎朝コーヒーを飲みます。 and then switch the topic to it with コーヒーは...

Thanks for your advice. :)
I am still studying and can't speak English sufficiently yet.
Therefore I can't understand difficult slang, so it's not a problem.
Don't worry, teacher.

>dialect
Oh fuck..

Ah nice! I'll do that. Thanks for the advice.

Question.

What is a good japanese website to make friends online? What communities do girls attend?

If you have any question about English, feel free to ask. I am willing to help.

逃 造 辺 迫 巡

What does the radical that's featured in all of these mean?

道

Don't listen to him

What program is that? Did you pay for it? If it teaches you by radicals, it might as well go for their actual names.

So it doesn't mean a god damn thing. Hmm. Thank you Chinese characters.

Haha fuck it, it means water slide to me now.

That's from wanikani.
Yes I was stupid and paid for it long ago when it was still in beta.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. So it means road. Arigatou Czech senpai.

bump

I think LINE, twitter and Facebook are popular.
It's also lang-8.
I don't know the details, tho.

Question about English?

Is 'There' of 'There is' not always required?

When saying "There is", "There" Is always required.

There is money
There is time
There is ability

If you remove "There", the meaning changes.

For example

"There is money here"

Isn't there is money - お金がある

Thank you for teaching me!

Well, can 'He is there' be said as 'There is he.'?

He is there!

There he is!

Don't ask why.

>Well, can 'He is there' be said as 'There is he.'?

No. You say "he is there", or "there he is"

"there he is" has emphasis on Subject. "there HE is!"

"he is there" has emphasis on Location. "he is THERE"


"there is he" is not correct english. However, it can become correct english when used as possessive

"there is he"

isn't that "i have money"? but i guess it can be "there is money" depending on context

thanks a lot.

There I am.
There you are.
There is my country.
'there' is interesting.

>anki and tk drone
>forget how to read 50% of katakana
What was that really good website to learn kana again? (not Kanateacher)

There is my bag.

There I am.

There are I and my bag.. ?

There is my bag. Correct
There I am. Grammar is correct, meaning is strange. -> I am there.
My bag and I are there.

In English it is polite to always refer to the object/person first, then yourself.

Mary and I went shopping.
John, Jim and I packed for the trip.
My bag, John, my pet rat, the girl stalking me, two marbles and I wanted to go out to the nightclub.

thanks

Does anyone know why this picture won't show up? I just started mining and it's a massive headache just making these cards. Is it slow for everyone?

How do I have one deck at 1 new card a day and another at 20 cards a day? Whenever I change the settings of one deck, the other changes as well.

>どんな人とでもうまくやっていける人は得です。
>That advantageous to be able to get well along with anybody.

Is my translation correct? Im having trouble at understanding what the いける means here (as well as whole うまくやっていける), Im thinking at the potential form of 行く in the sense "going well along" but Im not sure at all.

Did I miss the registration dates for the jlpt?
If I didnt when can you actually register because im not having any luck on the site

Jlpt is in july

Registration dates are in july too?

Can anyone tell me why rikaisama just highlights the kanji but gives no definition?

"People who are able to get along well with anyone are at an advantage" would be a better translation, in my opinion
