the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I'm taking classes, but I'm not very good at it.
Oh good. I have a whole folder of images that I was going to eventually bribe Psy with a hefty amount of dogecoin and pepes to translate for me.How degenerate are you willing to go, OP?

It'll be good to have a bit of practiceEh, I've been at the chicken scratches for about 1.5 years now. Though I've been neglecting challenging myself for the last good while, partially because I've been juggling it with Chinese since I felt I made enough progress to not mind coasting on Japanese a little bit.But, I'm back to focusing on it nearly-exclusively now, and going for stuff outside of my comfort level again. And taking translation requests is one of the things I like to do, since I get some form of enjoyment out of letting creeps know what their weebshit says.What be your story, friend?
How good is your comprehension would you say?Like if I posted a block of runes like song lyrics or linked a clip of people talking in japanese, would you be able to get the gist of it?
I too struggle with listening comprehension. Reading and writing is easy, but when I hear it out loud it's always spoken about three times faster than I can understand.
Can someone pls translate. My weebo is not so great.

I guess you can pasta something and see how I do, though not lyrics if you can help it, because they use weird idioms in any language.As far as audio comprehension, mine's pretty bad, as I've mostly focused on reading. Though, I can follow some audio at native-speed without much effort, such as basic conversational shit. But for the most part, muffly, native-speed audio where people are talking over each other and shit is pretty difficult to me, but something I'm slowly getting used to.I guess the best summary of where I think I am is that I pretty much have have had the 2000 most-used Kanji down for quite a while (and a few obscure Kanji), and my repetoire of Kanji compounds and pronunciations has always been steadily accumlating too. I got a lot of stuff stored-up in brain, but I just don't spend enough time dragging them out and actually reading material long-form.EDIT: Just to give you an example, I just randomly searched for "Japanese blogger" on YouTube and found this. With moderate-high concentration, I was able to understand probably 80% of it on my first listen (no JP/EN subtitles), with some gaps (such as "white day", which I've never heard of).For difficult material, I usually listen-back multiple times, rewind the hard parts, and make heavy use of Japanese subtitles. Doing that usually helps me get a pretty solid understanding of hard stuff. Though muffly, subtitle-less, native-speed audio is still too much for me most of the time.So yeah, generally Kanji, vocab and grammar is not a problem for me. The problem I have is just glueing the constituent parts together in my brain, and doing it fast enough. But the fix for that is nothing short of just having a lot of exposure.
