Fuckin Weeb

I'm not a weeb i just admire their culture

That's what all weebs say

how you getting to japan if you dont even fit on a plane OP

just get her to call you a weeb same difference

STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Woah there tiger. That requires being able to sustain human interaction.

Im not a fucking weeb

Honestly women over there should be easier. They carry themselves better than women here

Don't move if you're only going for the culture. Dumbass.

Asian women > white women
stay cucked by niggers

the actual country is nothing like in anime or manga, don't take the bait you fucking weeb (nice place to visit/vacation though)

That's what being a weeb is.

...

Yes, especially if they are older than you.

Do you even know japanese. Not alot of Japanese people know english so it'd be hard to assimilate if you don't know the language

this

japanese is hard to learn too.

i dont understand why so many people want to live in Japan. There's way too much social etiquette there. I like feeling free.

I'm learning it right now

そうなんだ、うんこ。

死ね。

Because their culture and women are better than ours

lmao most of the women are ugly af

That doesn't make his post untrue

Im learning it first with real letters and then ill move on to that

>not a weeb

I think you've just watched too much anime and have a warped view of what Japan is really like. It's not that great to live there. Why do u thin their suicide rate is so high? I'd way rather live here in Canada.

>real letters
>learning japanese
>thinks japanese characters when used in japanese aren't real characters

はたして、馬鹿だろう

also, Japanese people are incredibly xenophobic. If you move there you will NEVER be fully accepted by them or truly feel like u belong.

Moving to Japan is kind of lame tbh, lived their for a year with my family and it was great for the first 3 weeks but then it got repetitive and lame plus the price for fruits and pizza was way to high

>i start dating someone
haha you are giving yourself way too much credit for someone saying they want to move to japan.

Dafuq?! Closet dweller, you better have a fuck ton of money because I'm sure if you need to ask this you already have relationship problems. Let alone getting g a woman to give you attention. Kys

I mean i can get by just on talking ill learn everything else later

I don't think that's true. If your japanese is good then you're good.

As someone who had lived in Japan and still travels there regularly,

Yes, that would be fucking weird.

It belittles the title and shows how poorly you hold their culture in esteem.

Japan is not a real life anime, spazburger. In fact, most girls find animefags creepy and unlikable.

"Otaku" is not a badge of honor, it's an epithet for unsociable freaks. Like you.

What's your race? Ever experienced discrimination?

White, blue eyes. 177cm. 75kgs. 7.5/10

A little bit. Mostly old dudes at bars complaining to staff they don't want to sit near you. Sometimes old ladies at the supermarket or train station will give you a stiff elbow. But apparently they do that to everyone.

Most people would be ready in 2 years if studying every day, you sound like you need way more.
You'll need a lot of money saved, which you probably don't have, as you're on b.
Yes, it would be weird to make someone call you "Senpai".

Oh wow, and how's your japanese? Do you think you're being discriminated against because of thr language barrier or because of the way you look? Also where abouts Japan did this happen

No respect their culture more than anything its just a turn on

you're not admiring their culture if you think asking a girl to call you senpai in a sexual context is acceptable.

anime is about as representative of japanese culture as looney toons is representative of american culture.

I meant to put an "I" after the no

>real letters
as a dude who actually speaks japanese...
>mfw

I have Train Station/Restaurant level Japanese. I can navigate around. I know my colors, numbers, foods, simple phrases, etc. I can't discuss philosophy or whatnot, but I can get around.

In suburban Chiba, about 1hr out of Tokyo. Only a handful of foreigners in my town, mostly Nepali, Bangladeshi, or Brazilian.

It's because I look American. Old Japanese love to complain, it's just an easy way for drunk old men to get attention.

Goddamned OBAttleaxes... Middle-aged women throughout the entire world have the greatest concentration of selfish dicks.

That said, most of my close Japanese friends are also middle-aged women, but they're well-educated professionals, not self-loathing housewives.

Yeah, "real letters". He needs to quit now. He's going to have a bad time when he learns there are almost always multiple ways of writing the same word.

寿司
壽司
鮓
鮨
すし
スシ

All perfectly valid ways of writing "sushi".

Or single characters with absurdly long readinhs:

志: Kokorozashi
鶎: Kikuitadaki
承り: Uketamawari

Just quit now, OP. We don't need any more anime-obsessed weebs over here.

幻 maboroshi

end my suffering

I've lived here for eleven years and the only genuine unfriendliness I've perceived in all that time has come from old, crusty guys, as you've described. Though even they usually warm up a little once they learn I like good shouchuu to go with my shiokara.

Yeah. By the end of the night, after they see you're not an asshole, you like good sake (or whisky or shochu), and understand proper public behavior, it's not uncommon to share a beer with that same crusty old dude.

That isn't even the worst. The worst is the multiple-character representations of the same word. They're are about eleven different ways to write "cuckoo", "hototogisu". Some:

時鳥
子規
杜鵑
不如帰
郭公

Of course, even most Japs wouldn't know most of those.

damn I'm just working my way through the jyoyo kanji readings lol.

I'm doing it in a weird order, I don't have access to an actual class so I'm learning to read kanji and some kanji related words before studying common phrases, expressions.

I can barely carry myself in a convo with ppl online, but Idk how it'll pan out in the long run.

Any thoughts?

Don't worry too much about crazy-complicated readings like those. It can be fun to study (羅府 is a valid way of writing "Los Angeles", ロサンゼルス), but not really useful.

As for study materials, I still recommend the Genki series for general study, and Heisig's Remembering the Kanji for reading and writing. Just remember there are two volumes to the latter, and don't half-ass it.

I also recommend Genki. I'm actually working through it now in preparation to move back to Chiba this winter.

I've picked up the Genki books, I'd put them off whilst I've been getting an essay to write every week, but that's no excuse really.

I've been using "WaniKani" which basically describes itself as an online RtK and has the mnemonics made already, as well as prompting you to do reviews like memrise.

I've managed to do the Kanji memorisation without fail since September, so I can, with varying degrees of success, read about 600 characters.

It's a good series, very well-integrated.

On the other end of the spectrum, stay the fuck away from Japanese For Busy People; it's awful.

And for anyone serious about their study, I highly recommend investing in a 電子辞書. I would have suggested Sharp's products until recently, but they've really diminished in quality. Go for a Casio.

I haven't been a WaniKani member for two years, but when studying I forced myself to write every kanji I got wrong. It was painstakingly slow, but at least I don't write like a fucking 5-year-old anymore.

Sounds like that's a good idea, especially for the ones where I start to forget the mnemonic and try to rely on the radicals.

Do japanese women fuck americans and is it possible to do porn?

Cost of living in Japan is very high. The pay is very low. A small apartment will cost you on the order of $1500 per month. A Big Mac meal is $17. Also if you have a felony of any degree or you have any jail time on your record they will not let you into the country.

It sounds as if you're proceeding well. My single, most important bit of advice with regard to becoming literate is to divorce as much as possible the readings of the kanji from their meanings and writings, in other words, what RTK does by default. Trying to learn all three simultaneously is inefficient and frustrating.

When you reach a much higher level (I'm studying for 漢検一級 right now) you can try an integrated approach which provides much greater depth.

lol

The fact that you said real letters. You fucking moron.

The fuck are you on about? I bought a Bic Mac combo a few days ago and it cost 650 yen. If you paid 1700 yen for that, those Nigerians saw your pigeon ass coming from a mile away.

And Trump is the racist one.

I've heard that duolingo is getting Japanese for English speakers. Was doing some german there a while back, it was pretty good.

I said ill learn it eventually but for right now its not that important. They write on computers the same as us. Ive never seen a keyboard that didn't look normal so it'll be fine

Don't neglect the radicals, in either the classic , 214部首 definition or the more general "graphical element of a character" one. They are invaluable.

To be honest I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed just learning all the readings, I think if I did the writing at the same time my head would explode lol

I heard there is a shortage of males in Japanese porn so would they let me

If you're some stupid anime loving autist, you're going to get the shit kicked out of you in Japan. Contrary to what the forever alone losers of the internet think, the women there won't find your love for waifus cute. The only reason they love foreigners is because Japanese men for whatever reason have a low sex drive and interest in breeding.

Their parents will despise you as well.

Go ahead though, walk around calling women waifus and thinking they're going to cuddle you like your body pillow does. You're in for an expensive reality check.

Eh, to be fair, I have never actually seen any Japanese use any input method on a computer other than a romaji-based one. If they want to type 山, they won't hit the key labeled や then the one labeled ま, they'll type y a m a.

Of course, those same, super-convenient IMs are killing people's ability to read and write properly, but that's a whole other argument.

It's true.

Yeah it would be weird, actual Japanese culture is nothing like anime, and not all Japanese people even like anime. I would go there to visit first, maybe study there for a semester or something because most people like you realize reality there is pretty shitty compared to whatever fantasy you have about living there.

What parts of their culture do you like that aren't related to anime?

Wrong, women there are much more closed off especially to foreigners and even more especially to English speaking foreigners

I know it sounds like a waste of time, but learning the writings itself constitutes an immensely valuable mnemonic device, IF you build up the characters from simpler graphical elements just as we build up words from letters. In other words, learn, in order:

土: soil
寸: measurement
寺: temple
日: day

and finally

時: time.

It take more effort and time at first, but the eventual payout is incalculable.

I'm learning all of the radicals, but I'll admit I've not learned to write them all.

I feel like it'd certainly help, particularly with very similar kanji which I find hard to distinguish, like
列
例

ええええ？！

We're the exotic ones here. If you are:

1. Not fat
2. Pleasant-smelling
3. Well-dressed and
4. Speak even a little Japanese

you can be swimming in high-quality pussy.

No it's really not. I studied Japanese in college for several years and had friends from Japan before going over there to live for a short while. People will show you respect like they do with others, but the majority never consider you the same as a human. The people who were born and raised and still live in Japan are completely different to anything you're expecting

It helps immensely. 列 occurs as an element in many kanji. Off the top of my head: 冽洌烈裂例 but knowing all of those are read as れつ except for the last one, that is the real benefit.

Don't try to learn all the radicals at first, though. I don't think I have ever seen a kanji using 黹 or 龠 in the wild.

I want to go to Japan, but uniquely to buy an old GTR

I would like to try and live there and become a a hermit. maybe around the country side of okinawa where my father is from. being a hybrid makes it hard to become an actual citizen there. If a nigga is half korean and half jap, they consider you korean. Japanese people are so prideful about who they are that they will not accept any kind of gakokuijin.

learning how to speak the language isn't that hard tbh, the way they structure sentences is pretty straightforward. Reading is a whole different issue though, katakana and hiragana aren't bad but learning all the fucking kanji is absurdly hard

yes

>high-quality pussy
if you think that weird slutty teens that fuck foreigners as a game as "high-quality" then sure

The difficulty all depends about how you go about doing it. I'll probably have my level 1 by the end of the year if I keep up the pace. It's lots of fun to study, too. Where else can one learn such colourful idioms as 吮癰舐痔?

The grammar isn't so bad, but I learned the hard way that a good grounding in classical, formal grammar is essential.

Most of them do not, there are some weirdos that think of fucking foreigners as some kind of achievement though so there's that at least. As for doing porn, consider what your chances are of doing porn in your home country and then significantly reduce that chance and there's your answer

I'm a little old to be chasing twenty-years-olds, but I have seen some staggeringly beautiful women with Western men of... questionable looks.

There are plenty of nasty bar skanks too, here, as everywhere.

Have you lived in Japan?

I had access to all kinds of poontang. From the weirdo slutty teens, to housewives, to office ladies, to university girls.

This user is correct.

All I know is that i was at a good enough level to have conversations after a couple years of college classes taking it but was only familiar with about 400 kanji characters. You need to be familiar with about 2000 if you want to be able to read a newspaper in japanese

Don't worry, they will hate your guts. Nips are the only people who can surpass Australians and South Koreans in terms of blatant racism.

Sure there's always a chance to find someone like that, but the majority of women interested in sleeping with or being in a relationship with westerners are the group I previously described

This is true. I know around 5000, but that's where the real challenge begins.

OP is purposefully covering his eyes from reality and came here hoping people would play into his retarded fantasy. The fact that you think a nip would date you shows that you don't know shit about their culture.

I studied abroad there for a little while, but didn't live there for an extended period of time

nigga must have been in the wrong side of shinjuku

This user gets it.

Two bombs weren't enough.
