Post some weeb images with Japanese text here, and I will have a go at translating them into English for you. I need the practice.

This thread also doubles as an inquiry to see if there are any other fellow Japanese language learners here.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the shitlord scripture the Bhagavad Reeeeeeeta; Kek is trying to persuade the prince that he should save his people, and to impress him takes on his frog-headed form, and says, "Now I am become meme, the destroyer of cucks." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

Doesn't matter, friend, as everyone has to start somewhere. And even then, all that really matters is that you personally enjoy it and/or feel you're getting something out of it.

Though, I do hope that you're past the initial hump. Sometimes it takes a lot of hard work and many days of questionable-looking progression, before things begin to really click and the rest becomes relatively clear sailing.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
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?

I dunno, I haven't really tested what kind of weird or disgusting shit I can tolerate yet.

It also depends on my skill-level and the type of material. For example, if something is heavily-loaded with obscure slangs or really high-level, idiomatic usage of the language, the best I can probably do is give you a general idea of what it might be talking about.

Post whatever you have in mind and we'll see what happens. Expect to be disappointed, though.

Eh, 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?

I imagine that spending some time learning chinese will help with recognising kanji though, or the particles within one. That's still something I'm not great at but mostly though lack of effort.

Hmm I started japanese in high school in 2008 I think, maybe early '09. Did it for a couple of years as a bit of fun after school, our school did an exchange program with the nearby language college so I got to go there and a few of theirs got to come to our school for arts etc. Pretty neat system.

Then I took it as a GCSE (End of highschool certificate sort of deal), completely blagged the whole thing and knew no katakana and about 20 kanji when I was supposed to know 200 but heyo I still passed with a good grade.

After that I kind of just kept it up as a bit of a hobby, I taught myself katakana and I've been working on kanji slowly and surely over the last 5 years so I'm at a decent level for it.

Biggest trouble for me has been the only other person I knew who spoke it gave up on it after highschool which kind of buggers any chance at improving it.

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?

For the former, it all depends. 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.

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.

Looks like some Sailor Moon shit. Namely, the title of the series, "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon". See this page.

Ah very good, you're certainly doing better than I am for reading.

I'm reasonably passable at listening to native speakers and understanding them, the stuff that throws me off is accents. Anything outside of standard tokyo dialect gets pretty incomprehensible lol.

Have you ever been there?
