6 hours of the best (imo) Japanese variety has to offer.
>高かきます
Do you mean 高すぎる? I'm not sure what this means
>初歩的課程がくらい百米ドルです
"Even a basic course would be around 100 dollars", right?
初歩的な課程でも百米ドルくらいです
The でも adds the "even" to it. If you just used は instead, you would just be stating "A basic course is around $100". Either is correct, but it's nice to know both.
Also be sure to remember くらい goes after amounts.
Jeez. How the hell did 高いです come out as 高きます? Other than that, yeah, I forgot the proper usage for くらい.
I fell into the trap of drilling kanji without keeping up with my grammar, so I ended up making some pretty egregious mistakes there.
I study in my free time by myself. I can't promise that my method will work for you, because I already had education into formal grammar (and thus explicit knowledge of how languages work) but I can recommend imabi.net, Jisho, and Tae Kim's guide as the online resources I find myself looking up the most. I also have a few pdfs on grammar and such that I can give you if you're interested. I'm still at a relative beginner level, and I practice daily with Anki on a deck based on Heisig's RTK and another one going over vocabulary used in the N5 of the JLPT, as well as translating bits and bobs of Japanese content on the internet like tweets, YT comments, and sometimes NHK's easy news, as well as trying to create original sentences based on example sentences I look up.
Reddit's r/learnjapanese also has a bunch of resources and things like that. I also get a lot of value from asking questions there.
University, but also lots of media consumption (by which I mean live action films and books)
As for learning sources, from what I've seen the online resources don't really miss anything dramatic. Tae Kim as mentioned above for example is imo plenty to get you started so long as you have the drive to keep at it by watching and listening to the language as much as possible.
Rikai extension for chrome is essential when starting off, as you can just mouseover a kanji you don't understand, and get the definition and reading right there.
jisho is great for finding kanji off pictures, you should mostly use the radical finder. For example I might not remember what "love" is like in kanji form, and see it somewhere: 愛
Well what I can see (probably not in facepunch, font size is tiny) is that it has two radicals I easily recognize in it:

just as a quick example of course.
Of course those are more useful for written Jap and won't get you far in actually speaking it...
りかいくんなくして可能人生が如何ありますか。じゃないと思います。
How in the hell did I not even think of searching for an extension like that before? Navigating moon runes just became an order of magnitude less annoying.
No, anything that isn't animate uses aru. Trees are living but inanimate, so you use aru. Interestingly enough Jellyfish are living but technically inanimate since they just float around, but they get to use iru.
anyone in ゴロリウスゥ日本 going to summer sonic this year in Tokyo?
Been living in Tokyo for a month now doing eikaiwa work and shit's pretty aight. Wanna keep at it for a while.
Downside is I fell deep into the gaijin KONNICHIWA ONEGAISHIMASU ARIGATOU hole and have been waaay too busy to do moonrune studies. Glad Obon is around the corner at least.
皆さん、こんにちは！I've started to learn Japanese, a lot of the links on this page are proving very useful. I initially learnt the hiragana and katakana a few years back, so that gave me a nice head start. Thought I'd bump this thread a bit since it's not had a reply in a little while, and also I will give a small tip to Mac users if it hasn't already been mentioned, you can open the Dictionary application and add the Japanese-English dictionary in its preferences, then you can use the trackpad Force Touch on Japanese words to see the meaning,.
今日は
Also learning 日本語 but not good enough yet at it to write it.
Why are you a red toilet, does the taco have anything to do with that.
Nah, I had tacos yesterday. You'll get there! Practice makes perfect.
The taco doesn't have anything to do with it I just like making weird sentences.
Went to Fuji Q Highlands today boys. Hecking great themepark and some of the views of Mt Fuji while being flung around the roller-coasters were unreal.
Would really recommend going if ya can handle the cold air. Barely any queues at all on a winter weekday.
Im already planning another trip to japan in feb 2020, i really want to experience snow in hokkaido
I'm quoting a 2 month old post, but just in case the person relevant hasn't realised the errors, it's best to catch them before they fossilize.
わ should be は here. You can write it in kana if you want, but don't make that mistake. The は here is a topic marker.
This is technically fine but the しました ending implies that you've stopped. If the studying is ongoing, you should use している.
お should be を. They sound the same, but the object particle is always を.
The only grammatical error with this is that you shouldn't put a の between 赤い and トイレ. 赤い is an i-adjective and doesn't need it. This doesn't need to mean "I am a red toilet", it could be taken to genuinely mean what you're probably trying to say, though the mental image is a bit crude.
You've missed an お before the ねがいします.
These errors are all small things, though.
Taking Japanese next semester at University. I already have a few first volumes of Japanese manga I picked up for cheap (Berserk being one of them obviously) and I keep looking over them knowing one day I'll be able to make sense of all the crazy symbols.
Anybody here apply to volunteer for the 2020 Olympics? I'm hoping I get in so I have an excuse to travel to Japan in the next few years
Thank you. Looking back I definitely see some of the mistakes I did! Again, thanks for correcting these!
