When did you realize nobody truly knows a second language? Its all just illusionary. They trick you with the facade of knowing the language only in a hyper specialized area. Its not like your first language. With your first language, you can talk business, cooking, you could name the planets, casual conversation, shit talk, etc.

With a second language, they may hold a conversation with you, but ask them to name the planets. Ask them to explain how photosynthesis works. Ask them to name legal terms used in court. They dont know it. They dont really know the language. Nobody actually knows a second language. Its mere trickery.

It's been fun, but I haven't studied in over 2 months now. I'm doing French, Attic Greek, Latin, and Mandarin, instead. Japanese is more of a time commitment than all of them combined. I think I don't like anime or manga much anymore either. Gonna go read Plotinus.

See you guys, and good luck.

Morning chat.
Feeling pretty discouraged today. Fully learning Japanese and actually making my way in Japan is starting to feel like fantasy again. And I’n starting to feel like, whats the point? I mean I know my reasons. They are good reasons. But I guess emotionally I feel a little sad about it. I really wish I decided doing this ~10 years ago, when I was young and had a lot of future ahead of me. Kinda feels like Im rushing because Im going to be really old soon, and literally wont be able to do it soon. In one way, thats more reason to do it, its my last chance. But in other ways, maybe I should just try to maximize my life in America. My life is already a mess and Ive never had stability. Im finally on the verge of getting stability, and now I want to use the stability as a springboard to go Japan. Should I just be happy surviving here? Maybe I dont need to go across the world and risk everything for a silly dream when I dont have the bases covered. Im not a young guy. In my head I still picture going to Japan as a young buck with the world at his disposal and endless opportunity, but thats just not the case for me anymore. Still at the same time, going to Japan, still trying to make something work there, career wise, romance wise, even if its not ideal since Im not young anymore, I still want to try, yaknow? Even if career fails, romance fails, and its a tough time, I still got to live in Japan for a few years and take in the culture. I think that in itself is worth it. Days like this are hard though. I feel like my life is basically over. If I do just give up and try to build stability in America, there is something very depressing about that. I want a shake up. Not doing Japan, I will just wither away in some shitty apartment with a shit job, never attempting to go after anything I truly want. What was even the point of life then? Just to stay alive?

You may not find a menhera subculture girl with weird eyelids and crazy makeup, but there are a ton of asian women in the states.

The thing is, Asian girls are so rare in the states. You need to be a turbo giga giga chad to have a chance. That Chinese girl I was inlove with got snatched up so fast and got married. Here, Im a dime a dozen looking for a rare demographic.

In Japan / South Korea, it’s reversed. An abundance of Asian girls. And Im the rare demographic thats different.
>most natives wont date gaijin
Yeah, some will though. And I think the ~10% that would be interested would be a far higher volume than trying wrangler an American Asian.

There are other reasons too but yeah. My friend says I should just go to Chinatown. I might try it honestly but I dont think it help, still in America and those Asians see Americans everywhere outside the town.

I mean there are asians here but relative to how many men want them, it’s basically impossible. I remember being at this one gathering talking to this Asian girl, and 3 other guys all come up trying to fight her attention. The interaction basically became a subtle brawl between men trying to interact with her. Fuck that. Let me go to the land where there are 98% Asians. Where I can walk away and talk to other Asian girls if 50 men are all trying to get the same girl

No, she won't and can't help. Simply because she is not a teacher. The best is buy a japanese book and use udemy/coursera to learn grammar and stick to a program.
