みなさんこんにちは!
As you can see from my (likely garbage...) introduction, I've been (trying...) to learn how to speak a bit of japanese! (or at least read it)
This project of mine being the case, and having yet to see one started yet, I've decided to create a topic to discuss the subject of learning a new language, not japanese, but language in general.
What languages have you guys tried to learn?
How did you go about it?
Why did you want to learn it?
Did you succeed more or less?
A discussion like this addressing the task of learning a foreign language i feel could be of great help for me and anyone hoping to expand there linguistic abilities.
As for me, i started due to the fact that i'm always being told that its good to learn another language, that doing such will make you a generally smarter person, as well as make you more culturally aware, among other things.
Thus i decided to take the plunge and while french and german are more common around here, everything i really interact with on the internet tends to contain just as much japanese as it does english, specifically things like games, music, pixel-art, chiptunes, etc.
Thus far I've learned to use/spot basic particles, and am working on memorizing hiragana and katakana by trying to read things i encounter in japanese, you know, only using my chart when i really dont know the kana.
So ya, if anyone has any stories/tips to share on this topic, then do by all means!
