I'm American.
it's ovER
はいありがたいせんせいbro really think he speak arigato
Cope, you don't even know Japanese if you think my pronunciation is bad. Maybe pitch accent might be a bit off, but then again I learned from anime. Make a transcription right now buddy boyo. No machine translation will say what I said.
Your pronuncation is bad tho. Stuttering on kamoshirenai. You say something like "boku no nawa shi das, yoroshiku ne" which is horrible pronunciation once again as I'm assuming you're trying to say "boku no namae wa". "no kai" is also barely ever used, especially with gozonji in the beginning. Gozonji is very formal and "no kai" is not. Atamadaka pitch on "hontou ni" which is wrong. "kikasete" is pronounced in an incredibly american way, almost like "kikaste". atamadaka on 鉢 which makes it sound like 八, it's supposed to be heiban.
It's not that bad
Nawa is commonly used in place of namae.
Fair. I used "no kai" because I recently read a VN where one of the characters talks like that.
Probably, Fair criticism again, I don't know anything about pitch accent.
Yeah my pitch accent is not the greatest, where do you recommend I learn.
I'm not using machine translations, I wrote this down myself. And no shit it's not how any Japanese person speaks, I learned from anime.
Nawa is not used in place of namae. Perhaps in some anime, but not in the real world. It makes sense that you sound like this if you only learn from anime and try to replicate that though, that would explain the "no kai" thing too.
It’s “ohaiyo”.
Only in OhioIt’s “ohaiyo”.
Thanks man. Lots of exposure helps. Also I intended this to be related to my other thread which I made in the Moneymax Forum, could you move it back?Your Japanese speaking skills put mine to shame.
I can only say a few words here and there.

No problem bhai. I agree, immersion theory is legit when you want to learn a new language. So how many hours a day did you spend to attain this level?Thanks man. Lots of exposure helps. Also I intended this to be related to my other thread which I made in the Moneymax Forum, could you move it back?
Japanese is not a hard language to learn
I would argue that Japanese is one of the easiest languages to learn for a native English speaker due to the grammatical structure and rules being completely different to English. It is perfectly phonetic, meaning that a word will always sound like it is spelled in hiragana. Not to mention, the...
Probably like 1 or 1 and a half, I'll often read sentences from an Anki deck to practice speaking aloud and I have a friend who I can VC with to practice speaking conversationally. Though I still have the habit of throwing in archaic Japanese phrases into my speech.
That's good. Have you been doing it consistently? I have been slacking off so much. I think the last time I tried to learn anything was over 7 months ago. No wonder I haven't progressed much since then.
Not at all, I have just been doing it whenever I feel like it. The good thing is I have exposed myself to so much Japanese stuff that I can retain information relating to grammar, accent, and some vocab, so I don't think I get worse the more I slack off. I should be more consistent though
Grammar is my weak point. I realized it's much better to learn grammar first and master it, so that you'll be able to speak it like you do. I am unable to speak it like you can. I should pick it up again. I'll start with learning grammar. Any pointers?
Have you tried Tae Kim's guide to Japanese vocabulary? In the other thread I linked a guide that contains resources, and one of them is Tae Kim's guide. It's somewhat simplified according to people who are way more competent than me, but going through all of it will not only give you a good idea of what certain grammar always does, but also give you a ton of vocab.

Thank you bhai. I believe I heard of Tae Kim's guide, now I'm not sure if it's because of you or just randomly through the internet. I used googled "Japanese grammar" and read articles explaining grammar, along with examples. It's probably not as effective as Tae Kim. It's pretty funny that a Korean is teaching someone Japanese, shouldn't a Japanese person do that?Have you tried Tae Kim's guide to Japanese vocabulary?

This youtube channel also is extremely good, it has very logical explanations.Organic Japanese with Cure Dolly
Game-changing approach to Japanese learning. Making it as simple as it really is! 'Cause dolls do what doctorates don't!
