That is sad, but just remember it will never be a dead language in our lifespan. Same with Japan in general, lots of blackpills you could focus on, but its not going anywhere in our lifetime so it might as well be forever from our perspective.

It also gives me peace that my first language is English, the closest to an universal language. So its not like Im wasting time learning Japanese. Its all for fun at the end of the day. I already know the most common language

My reading skill used to be way worse than my listening skills
But now I’d say they’re equal and I kinda like reading more recently, making me feel like my listening will fall behind
Really the only issue I come across with listening is speaking speed (and new vocab for obvious reasons)
Is this something I can target or is it just another area where you simply need to listen more in general to process information faster
For reference I can generally watch subless content fine it’s just sometimes the speed, vocab, or length catches me off guard - not like I’m completely lost

You really are an idiot. By that logic there is no point in doing an hour of anki, immersion, or any study. We are all aware you cant learn an entire language in 1 hour. Its accumulative.
Just stick to your Matt posting and whatever it is you do. Dont bother the adults who are talking and discussing Japanese. Its above your level, boy.

Very noob question...but I still have a hard time with シ and ツ not reading but writing. I follow all the rules but it's so fucking hard to get.

>The stroke order matters
Sure if you're using a brush, but when you're using a ballpoint pen you literally can't even tell which direction is the "start" or "end" of a stroke since it's just a clean line. I mean, I can still write it I guess, I just put overemphasis on the first dash-stroke directions to do the heavy lifting for me. Does anyone have like natively written material utilizing a lot of these for me to drill? It's really easy to distinguish in text, I have no issues reading them.

>Why would you even care about writing them?
My name is ジェイソン and as you can see it's a fucking minefield for this. I constantly overthink it when writing on forms and such. Native speakers...don't seem to have an issue reading it so I'm probably still overthinking but it doesn't feel good to lack confidence in writing my own fucking name. I know the rules ン is wider than ソ and ソ lines up horizontally from the top while ン vertically from the left but god damn it's annoying to make those small distinctions by hand and I often just overemphasize them to the point where they look distorted. Some Japanese video I found for children said to put little "lips" on the top or bottom of the stroke to better emphasize their direction but those too end up getting overemphasizes when I try to the point where ソ ends up looking kinda like ワ or something...

I dunno. I can read pic related just fine so maybe I just need to deal with the fact that people will contextually get it even if I accidentally write it sloppy sometimes.

>>50263572
Translations will never capture the actual essence of what's being said. In most cases you'll only need a surface level approximation, so it's fine. But you won't *actually* know what's being said without actually understanding it yourself. Like the particular words people choose, the manner they use them, even the way they accentuate certain parts of their speech, are all things that typically get lost in translation. And for the most part that's okay - you still get the main point of what's said across, but it's not true understanding. There's already so much lost in communication even when you DO understand what's said. Every time we communicate with someone else, aside from what's actually said we always convey in very subtle ways something more about ourselves from speech patterns. It just helps you better understand who you're speaking with. Plus there's no delay. No matter how good translation tools get, there's still inevitably going to be delay because just the syntax alone necessitates you listen to a whole sentence (sometimes multiple sentences) before you can accurately translate what the start of what was being said actually means. Realtime translation will either need to pause and wait for the speaker to completely finish their thought before processing and translating for you, or clumsily try to piece together a Frankenstein approximation of what was said by trying to predict the next few words (most realtime translations seem to lean into this direction, sadly). Just turn on the auto- caption feature on TikTok or YouTube to see what I mean. Ideally you want to be able to communicate with as little delay as possible, and convey parts of yourself that would otherwise get lost in translation by deliberately choosing the words you say and manner in which you say them rather than hoping the machine is able to somehow replicate it for you.

In most cases this probably doesn't matter. But it really depends on if you want to use the language as a means of basic understanding or actual communication.

You don't need native fluency to know differences like someone choosing to use 僕 over 私 as a very surface level example of personality being conveyed in word choice that simply won't translate properly. And like I said, no matter how good it gets it will always inherently have a delay and normal human conversation really doesn't flow well when each party has to take a moment to process what the other is saying. You'll always have a robotic back and forth instead of organic flowing conversation.

tl;dr but what really limits universal translation is word order. sometimes the full meaning of a japanese sentence will not be clear until the last word or words, so there will be an annoying pause in communication.

This doesn't matter much when most here rarely ever leave their bedrooms and talk to real people.
