Hey /jp/ Im having a really hard time learning the Japanese language. I have Rosetta Stone, but no one I know practices Japanese. Its very difficult for me to learn, even though I know some words and phrases. I can't afford college classes and I don't have enough money to visit Japan. What should I do? Could I get some advice? Plus Im deeply in love with Japanese Women.

Haha, just give up. If you can't afford college how will you afford airfare? Get a job.

Their women come in a similar format but they tend to have more natural beauty and their society is much more image concious. Plus plastic surgery is so huge in korea that the rate of attractive women is much higher than in other oriental nations.

I hope you didn't actually pay for rosetta stone. Not that its bad software, but its ridiculously expensive.

So, Rosetta Stone is pretty good for someone who has the basic system down?

I thought the commercial was bullshit, but I was curious as to what these actors were smiling about.

I think I'm the only guy who fucking can't STAND Lunar.

But the dub outtakes are still hilarious.

They smile the same way trolls smile when successful.

You just got trolled by a corporation.

Hope you didn't pay for it.

You know, they actually made a movie where a woman had plastic surgery and suddenly her life became amazing.

Whereas in America we have movies like Shallow Hal saying we should see inner beauty.

I had the basics down from 3 years of high school japanese classes then learned the rest watching anime. Fuck your Rosetta Stones.

But we have TV shows in the US that give plastic surgery to people....

I learned in a similar way; now I have a very good understanding of informal speech, but I have a hard time with polite speech. On top of that, it takes me an eternity to formulate a sentence, because I get very little speaking practice.

This is not the way to learn a language.

Better than how the Japs learn English.

Hellish amount of their stuff is just writing and they rarely speak it. So they can't understand what the balls you're saying, but if you wrote it out they'd be able to get by.

I'm not arguing that.

I'm simply stating that learning from entertainment media is flawed as fuck.
