Anyone here learning 2 languages at the same time? I'm currently learning french and my plan was to master it first before tackling japanese, but I'm too anxious, I think I'll just start jap rn
Yea I'm learning English and Japanese at the same time using almost identical methods.
>Anyone here learning 2 languages at the same time?
honestly sounds kind of counterproductive
>20 new words on anki
>1 hour of listening
>1 hour of reading
>every single day
Where do that put me after 2 years total ? I won't be in nipland much longer so free constant exposure won't be there anymore.
Further than me because I've done less in less time.
you will be just behind Mumen Rider
My dad's been studying chinese for the last 15 years but was constantly doing an easier at the same time.
Mother tongue is french and he did german, english, spanish and portuguese. He's good in all of them so I guess it worked.
When you reach a point where you progress just with consuming and checking the words you don't know it gets easier. But if you're already struggling with one yeah be patient.
Yes, I watch k-drama with English sub. Two birds with one stone!

Only have 6 months tourist visa, I'll come back maybe next year.
I'm Swiss so it's quite similar in culture and quality of life.
There are cheap planes to my country, but maybe I'll just go in Korea with a boat and stay there a few months.
Started 3 months ago when I landed, being there helps a lot but less than I thought.
I just wonder where 2.5k hours puts me.
O, oh thanks?
>my local recycle shop started declining customers without masks
>while I haven't got my hands on the gov's mask yet.
Can't you just buy masks?
Also I don't think recycle shop is a legit word in English.
It's not, we normally say "Second Hand Store." But I mean we're double translating here so who cares
If I try hard I may..?
>not a legit word in English.
Oh I see..
The Japanese have a fun habit of inventing new terms out of actual English. My least favorite being "skinship." It means "PDA" but to me sounds gross.
>It means "PDA" but to me sounds gross.
Personal DIgital Assistant?
Pitch Detection Algorithm?
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma?
Peruvian Debate Association?
Public Displays of Affection.
Basically when couples show physical affection in public. Be it hand-holding, making out, putting your arm around the person, etc. etc.
The Japanese call this "Skinship," (スキンシップ,) which sounds creepy to me for some reason
To me it always vaguely sounded like wearing the skin of someone else.
That's probably it. Come to think of it, any word apart from "skin" that contains "skin" is usually bad in English. At least the one's I can think of offhand. "Skin lesion" "skin rash" "skinned" etc. etc. So maybe I just have negative associations
Good morning
