Why can't we learn Japanese in an anime?

>watashi + entire sentence backwards + desu
Damn, Japanese is easy as fuck it seems.

Spoken Japanese is like a massive road block to me. I've been learning the language for two years, possess the ability to read news reports on Yahoo and the likes yet still require nip subs to understand basic dialogue in anime. Fucking painful I tell you. Especially when the music's volume is ramped up and the seiyuus swallow half the particles. Or they make up random ass words.

well first of all most subs aren't even accurate so you're learning nothing from that

>Implying I am brain damaged enough to watch anime in another language
lmfao what the fuck is wrong with you, you mentally slow fuck?
If you want to read anime just turn the sound off, it is the same as a manga at that point.

Yeah I've been wondering that as well.
I remember learning English as a kid from playing Pokemon and watching movies.
Maybe it's harder to pick stuff up as a teenager/adult.

Casual jap is a bitch, no doubt.

Watashi retard fucking a you're thinks desu.

you'll start learning quite a bit if you have a japanese friend to chat with. also watch raws of childrens cartoon like precure. they are generally very easy to follow

if english is your only language you might struggle because vowels are different. once you get through that part it's honestly not too difficult

This. I've beeen studying Japanese in an university for 5 years now, and I can speak/read/write in simple sentences, but I cannot read manga without a dictionary, and I can only watch anime with many visual clues to what's going on (watching Anmitsu-hime and the Dr. Slump remake went fine, going to try heavier stuff in the future).

That one wouldn't use desu, since it ends with a verb

>c-chotto matte ///>_TAIDAMA!
>go men, go men
Easy peasy. I’d have no trouble over there.

>you'll start learning quite a bit if you have a japanese friend to chat with
This. It's not like anyone here could join a Zig Forums conversation the moment they graduated from their Pokemon sessions.

This. You need to practise interpreting Japanese, but what you're actually doing is interpreting the English subtitles. Hence you learn nothing.

unless it's ending into "to omou no desu" which is fairly common translation of think.
Watashi wa anata wa kuso baka da to omou no desu

Anyone learning Nip needs to start at the same place as anyone else; learning kana.

あ = a (Like a in father)
え = e (like ay in May)
い = i (like ee in see)
お = o (like the o in oatmeal)
う = u (like oo in moo)

That's the first 5. Look up the next 100 or so yourself.

Can I buy a Japanese friend of mine on Amazon?

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi'll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi've been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weeaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has neber meen mimasu'd before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks that anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus accross the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu's the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You're fucking shinimashita'd, akachan

Nope if japanese were a latin or even a germanic language you would probably have a very easy time to speak it if you started learning it now. Sadly its not so no one can ever learn japanese.

thats why i watch dubs, so i can learn english

Is Japanese anime best for studying English?

Kill yourself.

it's funny how you english speaking countries can't pronounce a single vowel and always feel the urgent need to add a diphtong at the end of everything.
except for "ee" sounds wich for some reason is the only one you can pronounce correctly

If you're a girl maybe

This is a fair criticism, and the main issue with American accents

Because Japanese is composed of a small selection of syllables and it has a rampant case of homophony (words sound the same) and homonymy (different concepts have the same name).
It's like a language made up by numbers. You can remember a couple of numbers that stand out, but after a while everything else starts blending together. Despite the bad reputation they get, kanji are extremely useful if you focus more on learning their meaning rather than how to read them.
Learning Japanese phonetically sounds like the worst possible way to go about it. There's plenty to be learned to be sure, but when you actually get serious if you don't have a system that feeds you the vocabulary in small doses and keeps reinforcing your knowledge through exercise it becomes a nightmare.

This annoys me so much when trying to teach Americans how to pronounce some words. They can't even read phonetic symbols.

>Why can't we learn Japanese in an anime?
I'm certainly nowhere near fluent, but after 13 years of watching anime I have enough vocabulary to be able to watch raws and understand 85-95% of the dialogue, depending on the type of show. It's definitely not an ideal method though. I've also eavesdropped on Japanese speakers before and found that I could completely understand relatively mundane conversations. It's probably easier to pick up if you start young and maybe read manga with lots of TL notes to help with the trickier cultural terms.

>can't pronounce a single vowel and always feel the urgent need to add a diphtong at the end of everything
There are 12 vowels in American English. Latin has 5. Of course you can't just use a trivial a = a scheme for the language.

>Sentence structure in English is inflexible
Retard.

A hotel from across the street has a shop with a suit that I saw that I want to try on

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Vowel_Shift

No one really knows why it happened, but English is pretty unique with its vowel sounds, and it's a major stumbling block when a native English speaker tries to learn to correctly pronounce almost any foreign language.

hiragana katakana kanzi

Why do I need to learn three languages to learn Japanese?
They seem to be difficult puzzles.

It's possible. If you:
-learn all the hiragana and katakana
-read Tae Kim front to back 100 times
-watch nothing but children's anime and CGDCT with furigana Japanese subtitles

You might learn Japanese in a few years.
