Sogo, you magnificent sadistic bastard.

Several reasons. The Korean Club on campus actually offers free lessons. My dad has spoken terrible fake Korean to me my entire life and I'd like to know what these things he's saying actually mean. Adding Korean to my resume technically opens up more job opportunities with my degree than Japanese would.
Also I doubt that the anime would help until I had a solid foothold in Japanese.
Awesome. I love their style, definitely give it a go at some point.
I still remember how to say thank you in Korean from the 10 hours I spent in SK. I can help.
Its actually the reverse. If you watch alot of anime, you get used to hearing Japanese words so sometimes, the stuff you study just "sticks" to you. It also helps with listening and understanding the language if you're used to it and can pick apart sentences more easily. Japanese doesn't have spaces so your ability to differentiate between words is a plus even if you don't know the meaning to them yet.
See, I think I'm just not ready to dive into that pool yet.
Theeere we go
Fair enough. I agree its not for everybody. Its funny that this turned into a sidetrack recommending you study Japanese when the posts it branched out from was me telling people not to do it.

You're missing out. Episode 17 is the sum of human achievement.

It's a rollercoaster from here on out, but if you stick with it the past 2-3 episodes have been pretty damn good.
3 hours hahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm so afraid to check the timer on this game on my 3DS
Well, I mean, I'd like to learn it someday, but Korean is readily being taught for free at the moment, and an Int. Studies major who is fluent in Korean is more readily employable than one who is fluent in Portuguese.
I guess.

Some people here claim they're studying Japanese just to watch animeI don't think that's a good idea either.
(Oh shit, I just summoned Kagami again)
Learning Japanese for anime is dumb, any anime worth its salt gets translated anyway.
You learn Japanese for the video games.

I burned out so hard on RF4. Only put maybe 35 hours into it. Shoulda gotten DKCR3D. =/

Mahou Shojou Yuuta is new best girl.
And so we meet the new girl, Shichimiya. Who conveniently lives right above Yuuta and Rikka! I'm sure there won't be any drama coming from this! :lol
Samumenco has only began to get ludicrous. The places you go. The fever dreams you see.

If your reaction is "that's so stupid, I hate it"
instead of
"what the fuck hahahahahaha I can dig it"
then you might not enjoy the rest of the show. As it stops caring about a cohesive plot and just goes full retard. In the literal sense.
I'm kinda got one foot in both camps, will at least give 8 a shot sometime soon.

yep definately not watching
i can deal with it for Space Dandy
because it never had a plot to begin with
Wouldn't Spanish or French be more useful in your line of work?

Gintama 150 - The Final Episode
Man, all these endings, from straight up reusing EVA's ending sequence, on top of every other ending sequence, it's sad to see this end
.
In regards to the third season, there certainly were a lot more arcs than before, with Yoshiwara in Flames Arc being the longest in both the season, and in the Gintama anime so far.
A look back at the Dog episodes.... I'm still mixed on it. It's like... the one moment where I didn't really want the extent of Gintama's craziness there. Pretty bro season
. Looks like I'm done with Gintama in 8 days!
But not Really

and probably some Shipachi things
But not really. about.... 115 episodes left... and a couple movies
You're right that its much much more useful for games. Still, I will question your motivation to study
Unless the game you are aiming to play is Mario or Pokemon or something, getting to a point where you can easily read a RGG or SRW game will take years and years.I hope I'm not coming off as condescending. My point is that, a language, more than any other kind of skill takes a really long time to learn so having a good strong reason to do it is important. As fertygo said, if your motivation is to be able to experience the entirety of Japanese nerd culture, games, anime, drama CDs, manga etc you might be able to eke out enough positive reinforcement by slowly being able to understand these things to take you far into your studies.
If you had enough time, you could probably do that in less than a week?
Spanish terrifies me because it is too similar to Portuguese and I fear mixing them over time. French is something I would love to get back into if I had the time.
Like, I can fake read passages in Spanish, and sometimes French and Italian. But this semester I've been so caught up in really working on my Portuguese that I have kinda neglected my Korean studies.
Korean is a good long cut into Japanese too apparently. They have similar grammatical structure, I'm told.
The downside is that, unlike Japanese, apparently Korean doesn't share the Chinese Alphabet. A shared alphabet saves time. Picking up Latin languages is easy because the Roman Empire made damn sure we were all so similar to begin with.

I guess some people can view it as an intellectual exercise. Though learning a language is less intelligence-based and more repetition-based. You gotta prepare to spend basically every day consuming as much material as you can handle and learning, relearning, and rerelearning vocabulary, sentence structure, and other basic core tenets of the language and applying them in practical situations, whether it's reading, listening, speaking, or otherwise, until you force your brain to understand.
I speak of course as someone who never learned Spanish despite living in a Spanish-speaking neighborhood with a Spanish-speaking family and attempting to do so later in life. Once you pass that narrow window of opportunity when you're a little child and can learn damn near anything purely by osmosis then you better be prepared to put in time and effort every single day or you will fail.
Don't let that stop you from trying of course. It wouldn't for me, but then I'm stubborn that way
Besides, we all know English and English is stupid, so even something like Japanese would be less stupid in comparison!
Hangul is really easy to learn, so it's not too bad.
Ill catch up soon enough but first me and Corvy have a watch agreement. Not a bet because both shows are enjoyable.
Yeah the lessons I've had so far are mostly all in learning Hangul, which is what I'm spending as much of my time on as possible. I just kinda got sidetracked over Christmas Break and haven't been back since.
Yeah, lemme know when to start. I'm trying to clean the plate so I can devote time specifically to it.

Years and years is still faster than it would take SEGA to localise anymore Yakuza games which'll be hmmmm...
Oh yea, never.

This is key and is the reason why if I ever have children, they will be septilingual pianist/violinists.
An alphabet that just happens to have 20,000 letters!
Well it's not my fault that the Chinese Empire couldn't beat the Roman Empire in a Spelling Bee.
I'm sorry, do you have a more convenient term for a series of related characters that make up a language? What, was I supposed to say the Chinese Syllabic Character Set and call it a day? I'm not in a language class. I don't have to be accurate tonight.
Rightstuf shipped a large shipment with both seasons of fmp and other goodies which should arrive by thursday, so fairly soon.
Good times, then.

But it's easier to say than Chinese morphosyllabic characters.
We all know what you mean, I just like being a pedantic ass sometimes.
I'm actually not entirely sure what people would call Chinese, I'm certainly no linguist, but a quick wikipedia trip tells me calling "logographic" is a good start I guess?

The better terminology for the Chinese script would be morphosyllabic. The Chinese syllabary represents morphemes, not words

I'm actually a bit disappointed that everything went back to status-quo by the end of the episode. That scene between Dekomori and Nibutani was one of the most touching things in this show so far, maybe even moreso than anything between Rikka and Yuuta. Speaking of them, their relationship is still super weird. Yuuta's more of a parent to Rikka than a boyfriend. Of course, the show itself has brought this up several times, but that doesn't make it any less weird.

Yeah, that's probably best.
That wouldn't be confusing at all.
