Re: anime daisuki 246
Your post has a lot of really good points, but I still want to learn Japanese if for no other reason than that I find it enjoyable. I'm prepared for the pain that is Kanji because I started learning Chinese but didn't have any interest in it at the time. High context will be unpleasant and onomatopoeia is pretty silly but oh well. Things sounding the same is also kind of difficult but I don't find it terrible, I've found that I'm able to distinguish the sounds well enough.
tldr it's apparent from your post that Japanese as a language has issues but I want to learn it because I think it's fun. Maybe I'll change my mind in a semester or two but that would be pretty atypical of me

Re: anime daisuki 246
Mainly I have suffered the issue of pursuing learning Japanese further myself and when I went to Japan it didn't exactly solve my answers. Speaking to people had been easy since they can understand basic key words or phrases but understanding makes you want to commit suicide.

Re: anime daisuki 246
Like I said most of japan caters to English speakers. My friend that wrote the article knows someone who has lived in Japan for 40 years and still doesn't know hiragana. You probably wouldn't make many friends unless they are very good at English which is rare.

Re: anime daisuki 246
there was a pretty great video I saw a while back about people learning japanese in like 60 days or something
I don't think I'll ever take japanese in a classroom again, given how much weirder your classmates seem to be when compared to the weirdos you get in other classes, like french/italian |

Re: anime daisuki 246
As someone who also has an interest in learning good ol' moon, I have to say good luck lol. Honestly the only reason i'd take it in a class setting is because i'm terrible at managing my time, and having a place dedicated to learning the language and an instructor to ask questions would be nice. However, i do think there are plenty of "decent" ways of learning the lanuage without the need of going to a class (not that i'm saying you're making the wrong decision or anything).
Honestly i'll admit, i don't have much of an interest in their actual culture, I'm not going to beat around the bush here, ACTUAL Japanese culture sucks. The only reason i'd go through the hell of learning that language is that i'm fond of their entertainment and counter-culture (Amine, Mangos, jRPGs, and VNs), and ALOT of the stuff i want to read/consume aren't translated (Or will most likely never recieve any kind of translation).
