how do you say
I fucking love Ina so much that nothing does anything to me. I can't cum to anything else but Ina
every time I think about dragging my hard dick on her flat chest and playing xylophone with her ribs I cum buckets in seconds

I believe in Ina

Is your Nihongo on par with that of Ina's?

>>1420510
I honestly should get back to doing my reps. I haven't done them since last year

>>1420510
I only took beginning Japanese so I know katakana, hiragana, some basic words, the kanji for numbers, dates and times, and the very basics of conversational Japanese (greetings and farewells).

Did not come in handy the last time I ran into a Japanese person as they had vastly better English comprehension than my Japanese.

This software fucking sucks.

>>1420478
Short hair ina is too fucking powerful

>>1420631
Honestly Duolingo is meant to get you started easily and comfortably, up to an advanced beginner or early intermediate level. Beyond that there's better ways.

>>1420510
Nah I was never enough of a weab that learning nipponese seemed like a worthwhile time investment

>>1420510
No, if I'm going to learn moonrunes I rather learn Mandarin since it would be better, financially speaking, for my future.

The only reason to learn Japanese is to be a higher level of weeb.

>>1420510
I think I'm at a very similar level. I've been actually on top of daily reps the past few weeks. Feels good.

>>1420510
I will get back to doing my reps as soon as I'm past the exam phase, I promise

>>1420678
>for my future
not to mention you'd be able to understand the enemy soldiers during WW3

>>1420678
You don't want to learn Chinese.

>>1420670
It's better with Latin script languages where you at least have to type the answer yourself instead of just being presented the answer
and having to click the boxes

>>1420678
>The only reason to learn Japanese is to be a higher level of weeb.
Depends on what you mean by weeb, but Japan as a country has a really long and interesting culture

>>1420800
this post is what he meant by being a weeb

>>1420929
I don't like Artemis either but the design is nice.

Hmm I can see why everyone says Duolingo isnt great for learning Japanese. You hear one word you recognize and you can just guess the sentence based on the words they give you

>>1420874
is this the one you shouldn't turn sideways?

>>1420144
I wonder if doing edits counts as reps

>>1420618
They say the best way to learn Japanese is by speaking to a native speaker

>>1420840
>>1420939
Thinking Japan is cool is somehow a controversial opinion on /vt/ of all places? The country has a long history and is still relevant today culturally, the same can't be said from many countries. The same could be said of China but they're isolationists culturally speaking and I don't know if they would appreciate people coming to the country to learn about what happened before the cultural revolution

Noel detected

>>1420631
It is THE entry level platform for learning the language. It's bad for learning Japanese as a whole

Noel is pretty cute.

>>1421047
>Thinking Japan is cool is somehow a controversial opinion on /vt/ of all places?
A bunch of ironic weeaboos from different boards came over and shit on otaku culture in general once we moved over from /jp/

>>1421047
Nah, japan is cool, it's just funny because you talked exactly like an advanced weeb would, by definition.

>going from combini to combini eating curry
The Ina architecture is already underway

>>1421116
>ironic weeaboos
Yeah they can fuck off

>>1421127
I don't think so, advanced weeb usually talk in comparisons by saying "Japan is better than X" or "Japan is the best because Y"

I just find it pretty lame to not use something that's probably a temporary passion (be it anime, manga, vtuber) to feed something that can last long (passion about a country, its language, its people, its culture). One day you're going to ask yourself "I spent dozens of hours watching vtubers, and what do I have to show for it?"

>>1421047
Sure anon, Japan is cool. But learning a language takes a lot of time and effort, especially for people that have a 40+ hour work week. Doing it so you can "better appreciate Japan's culture" is a damn weeb thing to do, let's be honest.

>>1421019

I haven't been doing my jap reps lately but here goes:
いなを愛してすぎてもうほかに俺に何もしない。いなにしか射精できない。彼女のぺったんな胸に俺のちんこを引っ張るについて考えるとせいきがすぐいっぱい出ちゃう。
how was it?

>>1421198
>I spent dozens of hours watching vtubers, and what do I have to show for it?
Mental illness. Isolation. Dick scars.

>>1418837
Unironically; Lovecraft is my favorite author.
That's what initially drew me in to Ina was her Cthulhu Mythos themed model.
Came for the eldritch horrors, stayed for the cute horrors.

>>1421014
yes

>>1421250
Have mercy on them

>>1421228
>But learning a language takes a lot of time and effort, especially for people that have a 40+ hour work week
Sure, like everything worthwhile

> Doing it so you can "better appreciate Japan's culture" is a damn weeb thing to do, let's be honest
I'd say the opposite, investing a large amount of time consuming weeb media without going deeper is a pretty weeb thing to do, that's how you end up with people that don't know anything about Japan. Same with the people watching American media all the time and not learning a bit about the country

>>1421255
That can be any country anon, if you want to learn all about France or Sweden or Russia be my guest

>>1421228
This I feel is why I really haven't been taking my reps seriously. If In lived in Japan or had to really learn the language for a business or work related reason, then I'd probably take it more seriously
But as it stands, my main reason for doing Nippon reps is mostly so I'm can read doujins and manga raws without having to wait for translations and being able to watch JP vtubers and anime without a TL. Not to say that these aren't good reasons mind you, but I king of feels selfish, at least to me
Though, when I was learning the language in the past, it was pretty fun. But man am I a real procrastinator

>>1421363

She sounds so happy when she does well with the test :)

The opposite.

>>1421403
>ywn feel as happy as Ina when she does well on a test

>>1421363
I never gave you permission to name my son

>>1421386
yeah, I am perfectly happy watching subbed anime and reading TL's manga. For the Vtubers, I am perfectly happy with Hololive EN and translated JP clips. It's even better because the translated clips are often about stream highlights.

>I am pregnant.
From me of course.

>>1421452
Your image is basically proving my point (unless you're stupid and can't understand that your (in that case the ken guy) vision of Japan is not what Japan is, but there's no cure for stupidity)

I miss Ina in my head...
I don't actually. I'm glad I sorted out my meds, my job insurance and appointment with the doctor. Ina belongs on a screen as a cute anime avatar.

>>1421542
Anon, your reading comprehension reps...

>>1421508
The joke is he's obsessed with getting immersed in the japanese culture as a whole because he's a weeb who has a romanticized understanding of japan as a whole. That's a high level Weaboo.
Consuming japanese media because you like it is the lowest level of Weaboo their is.

>>1421552
You mean all I have to do is stop taking my meds?

>>1421552
God I wish I had Ina in my head, what was it like?

>>1421518
>ywm feel

>>1421386
REPS. STARTING NOW.
I've been listening to more and more zatsudans to practice my listening and pickup new words. It's working well so far.

>>1421485
Yeah, I do agree. Though there are times where I feel it would just be easier if I just learned the language. But man am I lazy and don't have the time to seriously study

>>1421582
>The joke is he's obsessed with getting immersed in the japanese culture as a whole because he's a weeb who has a romanticized understanding of japan as a whole
He's not immersed in Japanese culture, he's immersed in his mental version of what Japanese culture is

>>1421518
This very nice and all anon but if you want it own the pile please give it to me with no background or a white background.
I'll probably add it anyway but it'll be harder to remove the background than most.

>>1421636
He wants to be immersed because he idolizes the culture as a whole. If you're using weeb media as a starting point to get immersed in a passion for "a country, language, people and culture", you're the exact same.

>Spotted a spic chatter
>Typing in spanish
>In an EN chat
>WHILE SHE'S LEARNING JAPANEASE

Why are they like this.

>>1421652
I already contributed this one. I'm just drawing reactions for myself now. Although I'm realizing now, the TakO))) might be hard to add due to the background as well. I'll get you a better version later.

>>1421702
>If you're using weeb media as a starting point to get immersed in a passion for "a country, language, people and culture", you're the exact same.
Absolute idiocy.

>>1421627
I should honestly use more zatsu's for reps. Maybe I'll start doing reps again tomorrow

>>1421741
You are the exact same.
Ken sama is a caricature of this kind of person. You may not be as misinformed as he is, but you're still idolizing a culture based on the cartoons they export.

>>1421702
>If you're using weeb media as a starting point to get immersed in a passion for "a country, language, people and culture", you're the exact same.
Depends on what you mean by "starting point". I mainly learned English in parallel to school to be able to understand lyrics of song that I listened to. This was my starting point, sure, but my vision of America or England hasn't really been influenced by these songs, they're just songs. However, I know English and it's really really valuable.
Same with Japanese. I got into it with anime/manga, and I'm learning about the country as a whole and the language now

>>1421736
Nah don't, it's funnier with his whole setup.

hey Ina, how would you say this in niponese?!?
I fucking love Ina so much that nothing does anything to me. I can't cum to anything else but Ina
every time I think about dragging my hard dick on her flat chest and playing xylophone with her ribs I cum buckets in seconds
>>1420023
I dozed off watching the stream, sorry for being late

>>1421741
you can just accept yourself as an extreme weaboo, anon. You're doing all sorts of mental gymnastics because you don't want to accept that part of yourself.

POCHI IN THE HOUSE

>>1421588
It wasn't fun. Besides the anxiety going high, she overtook every tulpa, vision and monsters under my bed. Had panic attacks at night thinking about tentacles wrthing in my brain or multiple instances of her on another layer of imagination.

Ninomae Ina'nis is one of the dumbest girls in hololive that I’ve had the “pleasure” to watch. A sullen, dull and quiet girl, she added nothing to holoEN except, “Gee, let's blow up KFP.” Also, illegally released many classified Chickens. A real dope!

Is Ina good at Japanese?

>>1421916
I speak Czech, English and starting Spanish tomorrow.

>>1421978
Only when the culture is relatively popular I think. No one will label people as obsessive about Denmark or something like that

>>1421978
I'll be honest anon. I think you're just responding to bait over and over again.
I'm not sure what anyone here is trying to prove by saying you're a weeb, on a board dedicated to chuubas that was split off /jp/, specifically in a thread about Ina, who already is a massive weeb herself.

>>1421978
If you are interested in that culture because you're consuming their cartoons you're a weaboo.

Learning Japanese feels like doing algebra

>>1420510
Based on her duolingo level, probably the same.
Conversational level? I'm not near as hers. I can understand Marine's zatsudans 50% of the time but I can't speak it fluently.

How good is Ina at Japanese? Can't really tell from this stream as I think she's getting stuck because of her English

>>1422453
Better that (You)

How long has Ina been learning Japanese?

>>1422453
I'd say around N3? But worse academically and better practically than usual

>>1422453
N3 level, she mentioned in the JLPT stream

>>1422470
Not sure is she is really.
Also do your English reps

>>1422487
>>1422496
Cheers. Yeah that seems about right. I wonder if she uses Duolingo much, it's kind of shit for actually increasing your vocab

>>1422549
Man, if you could become fluent in Japanese just by absorbing it in media I'd be perfect in it by now

>>1422176
>>1420680
how long you been doing reps?

>>1422566
>I wonder if she uses Duolingo much,
She doesn't, and she's not that good at kanji. I think she's really good at listening comprehension and maybe relatively good at speaking it

>Kumaan

>>1422549
>>1422579
You can if you don't have an English or other translation at the same time and focus on understanding. It still takes years though

Answer the question.

Also who is the guy who speaks 5 languages?
Impressive if you're not lying

What the fuck is even going on? Bad puns and laughing non-stop

>>1422598
Honestly listening and reading are two different things for Japanese. You can understand Japanese pretty easily just by listening to it unless someone's speaking 88mph or has a dialect
But kanji will always screw you over in written Japanese

>>1422633
i mean vocab and sentence structure probably but that doesn't magically upload kanji into your brain

>>1422617
I didn't get the joke

>>1422637

I feel like the opposite is true for English, written English is pretty consistent but spoken English, since people from all over the world speak it, it can be hard to understand. Like with Scottish, Indians and all

>>1422672
You could do something with furigana maybe

>>1422691

>Memes on the JP language.
>Neighbor has all sorts of jobs for China.

>>1422737
>but spoken English, since people from all over the world speak it, it can be hard to understand. Like with Scottish, Indians and all
That's why I said without people speaking fast or dialects. Normal Nihong is fine but once you get accents and dialect, it's impossible. It's like speaking to a Brit or Canuck compared to speaking to an Irish or Scot or Strayan. English suffers because it's so widespread than there's so many different versions and accents compared to Nippon which is just regional dialects

>>1422727

>>1422965
I think it's parodying the fact that many weeb around that age spend lots of time thinking about starting over magically from high school (to be fair lots of anime is like that) so they can fix their life or I'm just projecting

>>1421725
>>1422897

What's the problem
I mean yeah spics on the internet are usually awful, but what's the specific problem here. I see EN's blabbing in JP chats all the time.

>>1421916
Well technically yes but since I already understand english better than my native language I guess it doesn't really count as reps anymore, but if you're talking about jp reps I have 337 anki cards clogged up right now.

>>1423039
Ken sama predates the isekai fad by a lot, I think in this case it just means he's a manchild who's dreaming of the Japanese Highschool Romcom experience.

>>1423044
JPs aren't taught spanish in schooling so theres a 0.1% chance they would know what they are saying

>>1421452
Ina is Ken-sama but she made it. And instead of a katana, she draws.

Anon... both should stop

>>1423074
>Ken sama predates the isekai fad by a lot
The isekai fad didn't start the "wanting to live high school again but this time make it right", Haruhi is basically about this too

im being mogged live

>>1423077
I don't think they care, they're just tossing some words at their oshi. At worst they just make her aware that she's being watched in spanish speaking paces too.
I think it's silly, but it's not too disruptive.

>>1423116
Okay yeah I agree both can be annoying, what I'm getting at is it's not really a spic thing.

Is Ina called Ninomae because she's thin?

>>1422150
I have a masters degree in history (on military coup' d'état) but I'm also a massive weaboo, so what does that makes me?

>>1423074
The isekai fad is mostly about being transported into a fantasy setting though
The thought of redoing highschool but right has always been a thing. Everyone wishes they could redo highschool

>>1422453
She did a JLPT quiz stream and breezed through N4 and got through N3. Of course, that stream is not archived 'cause JLPT..

I had fun in highschool. American ones sound shitty though.

>>1422549
You can if you live in immersion. My friend taught English in Japan and learned through absorption entirely. Never took a formal class. Is roughly as fluent as Kiara.

you can learn any language that way, the big problem with Japanese is that you also need to relearn how to read and write.

>>1423077
I think there's like a 0.1% chance your comment gets read in any language, anyway.

if i redid high school, i'd be the same loser i was back then

>>1423373
You mean 0.1% for spanish and English or 0.1% overall? Because some vtubers interact a lot with their chats

>>1423398
Big vtubers like Ina, even if they interact with their chat a lot will still miss the vast majority of posts on account of the chat moving too fast.

>>1423392
if I redid highschool I'd get in trouble for truancy while scoring perfectly in all classes.

>>1423392
The thing is you keep your memories, if you don't there's no point. Maybe you already went through it a billion time without memories and you don't realize it

why is english so piss easy to learn then?
i've consumed enough hours of anime that i probably lost half a decade of my life just staring at a screen listening to japanese.

Fuck this thread I'm gonna watch Pochi, that way I can do TWO reps at the same time.

>>1423373
ive had my comments read multiple times without superchatting, just say something worth reading

>>1423235
I think the funny thing about my highschool days was I didn't like it because I was lonely and had no friends
And now currently I'm lonely and have no friends and I'm the happiest I've ever been

>>1423421
True, but it's up to people to make good posts. Outside of the greetings part, I sent something like 20 messages and Ina read 2. That's a 10% for me

>why is english so piss easy to learn then?
because everyone and their mother speaks English everywhere on the internet and you spend an excessive amount of time on the internet. I know that this is how people learn English optimally, because my more well-adjusted colleagues at uni have trouble with the English language.

>>1423431
If I had to redo highschool with all my current memories I'd probably be that one kid that's always jaded

>>1423434
I swear to god, the people who say english is easy to learn all have grown up in english immersion which is piss easy to do since most media is in english, try talking to people who had to learn it after they were already adults.

>>1423310
I regret not enduring the bullying and focusing on my grades, I just missed a ton of school days to avoid those people which lead to me not turning in anything and pretty much failing. I was even on the football team my freshman year but no one talked to me and I just sat there and the coaches made fun of me with school shooter jokes which pretty much started the bullying from my classmates. I had a dream about my old classmates forcing me to eat shit, I almost threw up when I woke up....kek

>>1423235
I don't know if I could even finish high school, I'd likely get some sort of super gifted treatment and run into major issues due to my now-absurd truancy.

>>1423434
>why is english so piss easy to learn then?
It's really not that easy, I'm at college for CS and people still search for documentation or problems in fucking French because they can't read English. I just spent a lot of time in my youth (and right now) reading english

>>1423434
>why is English so piss easy to learn then?
Because you cannot avoid the language. EVERYONE speaks English
Also English is not easy to learn

>>1423484
>try talking to people who had to learn it after they were already adults
They would learn it as effortlessly if they were visiting 4chan for over 8 hours a day for years and years on end.

>>1423491
Sorry for you anon, I hope things are getting better. Fuck bullies, seriously

English was easy for me because I learned it since preschool, but I can see why people struggle. It's not a terribly complicated language but it has a lot of weird, unintuitive rules.

That humnumnumnum sounded ferocious

>>1423539
At least it has a good excuse for that, unlike some languages.

>>1423539
One thing I realized is that spoken english and written english are VASTLY different, I always have to double check my spelling when writing stuff like though and thought for example.'

She was so hyper at the end, that was cute

through, though and thought fucked me up a lot at first but now it's okay

I only caught the end of the stream but holy shit Ina sounded like she was in a great mood and was really excited for tomorrow.

Time to watch Pochi do it the other way now

The pronouns have been the biggest filter for me in German reps.
Why can't krautspeak be like mexicanese and just have everything that ends with O be masculine and everything that ends with A be feminine.

Rate stream, takos.
You did your reps alongside her, right?

>>1423698
I always wonder how people feel when learning French because of the gendered nouns. Like, "this is a table. We say 'la table' because it's feminine. Now, this desk is 'le bureau', because it's masculine". Having to remember all of that seems like hell

>>1423539
I can't really say if english was hard or not for me since I've been consuming english media since I was a wee lad, but spanish was pretty easy to learn, japanese is kinda hard but it's fun because it is very different from my native language. By far my biggest filter was portuguese, holy shit why the hell are there so many verbs and dialects on that?

Weirdly I never had problems with those

>>1423698
Excuse me bigot, but O and A are not inclusive. Your words will now end in X and be gender neutral, my Latinx friend.

>>1423769
It's all memorizing what they mean. They're not hard in practice considering the sentence tells you what each means
But saying them one after the other is where people run into problems because they sound the exact same

>>1423729
A lot of languages out there have gendered nouns. Most would be fine.

>>1423736
All of these are forgiveable, small mistakes

But if anyone ever says loose instead of lose they should just give up on life.

>>1423805
It's fine if the rules make sense for you. If it's a lot of memorization it's pretty hellish.

Did anyone have problems with their oral tests back then because they never spoke much in school nor at home?

There's a disturbing lack of Ina in this thread.

>>1423598
There's a particular person in English history you need to thank for that, William Caxton, who published the first few famous books in English literature

This led to a split between written and spoken English that only grew more pronounced in the ensuing 500 years

>>1423729
At some point, it just comes naturally and you notice some rules like how every noun that ends with "-tion" is feminine.

>>1423729
kek
try german. add a neutral article to the mix and try to explain to a non german speaking person that "the girl" is not a feminine noun but a neutral one. german grammar is disgusting

>>1423990

>>1423905
''à'' is used as a double ''a'', if you have a feminine word before an adverd you use the `. Now ô is pronounced like the first ''o'' of ''mowtown''

>>1423994
>At some point, it just comes naturally and you notice some rules like how every noun that ends with "-tion" is feminine.

Not really weird to me as I did a bit of Latin when I was younger

>>1424045
don't know shit about latin but i suppose every language has its roots somewhere

>>1423875
I was looking this up and ended up on a Portuguese webpage. I was reminded that knowing Spanish allows you to read most of the other language.

>>1423972

>>1424080
Isn't Spanish bootleg Italian?

>>1424080
it works like that with every romance language, though it is stronger with spanish-portuguese,

>>1423959
They do not and if you pronounce them the same way you're mispronouncing them.

damn eigo reps with pochi are pretty comfy

>>1424117
she is pretty good, it's really impressive that she only started learning a month or two ago.

>>1424113

Yes they do, Anon. There and Their sound the EXACT same

>>1424093
All kneel to Latin.

>>1423959
>Their, There, and They're all sound the same
that's not the case though

>>1424111
can a frenchman understand italian then for example?

>>1424093
Not really but if you speak spanish you can communicate with an italian if you are both paying attention. Like spanish and portuguese, though I think portuguese is a little easier to talk with.

>>1423769
i think people whose first language is english have a lot more problems with these than ESLs

>>1423875
The first two are never used. The last 2 have related meanings, which is much better than the bullshit english pulls.

No, they really don't, the inflection at the end of "their" is not like the one at the end of "there", it's very subtle but if you listen carefully they're not even close.

>>1424171
Because those people never learned how to speak English properly, they learned English from their parents and their classmates at school and television programmes, of course they're not gonna be speaking nice English.

>>1424191
For me it was the /m/o/ episode. But the water episode was fun

>>1424315
To be fair I've visited atlanta and the way 13% of your population speaks english is honestly horrifying.

>>1424162
They are all derived from the same point so a lot os similarities still exist between the languages, italian, spanish and portuguese have the most in common, to the point where they can have a converstation in their respective languages and still understand each other if they talk slowly and use simpler words (in fact I used to do this all the time in college) French is the odd one out though, since reading it is kinda ok but when it comes to speaking, not even going slow helps

I'm not even American, dude. Did you know English is spoken in places that aren't the states?

>>1424394
The only words I need to know are I, Love, Ina.

>>1424268
But you're wrong. There's a subtle inflection where you raise your pitch slightlyin their, making a more open, brighter sound, as opposed to what you hear in there, which is spoken in a lower, more closed tone.

>>1424361
This is a uniquely American problem, though. If you are not American, you should not have trouble distinguishing these words by sound alone.

Lithuanian and Latvian languages

>>1424627
Welcome back to language class

>>1424554
Generally speaking you're gonna catch many of these things if you natively learned english, because learning the language "naturally" informs certain biases in the way you speak it and it makes you adapt mispronunciations and other oddities from common use as natural and correct. It's why EOPs struggle with "should of", when it's obviously "should've", which again is in theory pronounced distinctly, but most people just don't do it.

It realy is the prescriptivist vs. descriptivist argument pointed out by >>1424288.

I'm a native English speakers and I do pronounce them ever so slightly differently, but they're so similar that no one should give as much of a shit as you are about it. Someone could switch around how they pronounce each word and I would probably not even notice and if I did, it would just sound slightly weird.

The thing, "there" and "their" is a non-issue that only exists to argue about on the internet, but it demonstrates an underlying issue. Imprecise pronunciation is being taught to people which leads to asinine mistakes and to people struggling to write English correctly. I don't know how to fix the systemic, but it's fun to have argument about a symptomatic problem that affects literally noone.

I think you meant "human languages to computer langues". But, to be fair, they kind of do now (look at GPT-3), although you can argue if it's real understanding or not (the Chinese room, all that (although you can't really argue since we don't understand how the brain works exactly and it's a black box)).
And at the same time, English isn't strict enough to program computers with. A piece of code is generally objective, which isn't the case of English or french or Japanese or basque or whatever

>>1424748
>>1424772
I should have said "sentence structure" instead
