>>724237907If I wanted to type in the character "hu" I'd press the H and U key like the Romans intended and like every normal human being should.If your cunt doesn't use the Latin alphabet it's over for you
Very cool thingie OP.Now allow me to make this thread vidya related by posting these two that I found at a Bookoff here in Japan. The ds game is a kanji memorization game. Very cool.
>>724238340I ended up having to delete the data saves of these kids. Tenth grade is maybe 8yo or so I think sorry kiddos it's my turn now
it's going very sugoi kawaii desune
>>724237907후
>>724237907>The Japanese had a chance to adopt romanization but opted out for this shitmakes one think
>>724238554they didn't opt for this, really. There's way better typewriters used in Japan than whatever this shit is
>>724237907i'm reading hellsing>>724238340i miss buying cheap ds games over there
>>724237907If only there was a better way to do thisI think that old article is correct, japs (and chinks) ARE retarded
I'm going to Japan in a week.I should at the very least relearn how to read hiragana...
>>724237907>Lin called his typewriter design "MingKwai", derived from the characters 明 (míng) and 快 (kuài), meaning 'clear' and 'quick' respectively.[16]>Lin had a prototype machine custom built by the Carl E. Krum Company, a small engineering-design consulting firm with an office in New York City. That multilingual typewriter was the size of a conventional office typewriter of the 1940s. It measured 36 cm × 46 cm × 23 cm (14.2 in × 18.1 in × 9.1 in). The typefaces fit on a drum. A "magic eye" was mounted in the center of the keyboard which magnifies and allows the typist to review a selected character.[17] Characters are selected by pressing two keys to choose a desired character, which is arranged according to the system Lin devised for his Chinese-language dictionary, which lexicographically orders characters using thirty geometric shapes or strokes as tokens, akin to letters in an alphabet. This system broke with the long-standing system of radicals and stroke order as a means of indexing characters. The selected Chinese character appeared in the magic eye for preview,[17] the typist then pressed a "master" key, similar to today's computer function key. The typewriter could create 90,000 distinct characters using either one or two of six character-containing rollers, which in combination has 7,000 full characters and 1,400 character radicals or partial characters.[17]>The Mergenthaler Linotype Company bought the rights for the typewriter from Lin in 1948. The Cold War had begun and the United States and the Soviet Union were racing to research cryptography and machine translation. The United States Air Force acquired the keyboard to study machine translation and disk storage for rapid access to large quantities of information. The Air Force then handed the keyboard to Gilbert W. King, the director of research at IBM. King moved to Itek and authored a seminal scientific paper on machine translation. Kino
>>724237997The advice would be learn words, yeah? Or are you just saying it's a waste of time in general>t kindergarten tier JP but I'm improving
>>724239413It's easier than you think. And I think youd want katakana and a few basic Kanji over hiragana. That's all the filler shit and verb endings. Seeing English words in Japanese script would be more useful I'd imagine
Learning will never happen for me. The post above reminded me that I had this in the 2000s. But instead of learning any kanji, I was mostly just amused that they included the word "nigger" in the english dictionary and you could make the female voice say it with such enthusiasm.
>>724239413arcade games are unironically great for this FUCK I WANNA GO BACK SO BAD BROS
weaboo bullshit aside this is a very cool machine
>>724237907>>724239850This was the Chinese typewriter that was found recently in some dude's basement. It was the only prototype ever made and was never mass produced because It was way too expensive at that time
>>724238430>those namesAre you sure they aren't default saves or something
>>724239953Not him, but my suggestion is that you'd be better reading with the hiragana on top of the kanji and by mere assimilation you're most probably learning some of them over time, but you'd most probably need thousands or tens of thousands of hours to learn them, BUT, you'll gain extreme proficiency of the language by doing this.That's more or less how I learned english past kindergarten level I was taught through school and high school here, but you need at least a basic understanding of the language so you can understand some things and are able to piece together the remaining word's meaning.

>>724239953Learning vocabulary isn't necessarily learning kanji. A lot of people start learning isolated kanji as a first step into Japanese using books like Remembering the Kanji. The recommendation for most is to just learn using sentences with kanji and kana in them. Some people do find isolated kanji study useful so it's up to you to experiment and decide whether or not it's effective for you.
>>724240548I remember making it read out dirty wordsFun times
>>724238430>those namesAh, fellow Gintama fans I see
>like reading>learn japanese>take about five times as long to read in japanese as in english>have to force myself to read japanese textsi've gained a lot more sympathy for dyslexics lately.
No, because i’m not a retarded weeb, imagine learning that dead absolutely batshit retarded writing system, it’s one step away from egyptian hieroglyphics
>>724239850快 means pleasure like sexual pleasure 快感
>>724242948The more you read the easier it is
>>724237907This seems awfully slow
>>724238154the romans wouldve typed HV
>>724237907That's the Chinese magic eye typewriter. Only one prototype exists and it's where? Oh, that's right: THE UNITED STATES OF MOTHERFUCKING AMERICA!!!GET FUCKED RICEMUNCHERS!!! YOUR TECHNOLOGY BELONGS TO U.S.
>>724239413If you have to prioritize one thing before your trip, I'd prioritize learning katakana instead. Hiragana won't be useful to you during your trip without a basic understanding of the language, but katakana is what is used to write loan words. You'll be able to read things written in katakana and understand them as approximations of English words which, while not a lot, is better than nothing.
