Hehe, this is pretty hilarious. But accept for the hiragana, katakana and kanji you can very well apply it to any other language/region. Japanese is pretty challenging, but that's the whole beauty of the game.Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno
This just reminded me of thisOriginals are always better, be they English, Japanese, German, French or whatsoever. And then, listening to different languages on a regular basis ensures that you don't forget them as quickly (~5 years) as you learned them (providing you know those languages).
On the behalf of anime in particular, I think the Japanese female actors just sound more appealing then the English ones. This is, of course, absolutely subjective and is my personal quirk. But then my girlfriend is Japanese, so I could understand why.
So You Want To learn Japanese...
I know a Japanese teacher that hands this out to his class on the first day of class and though it's kinda' mean spirited, those of us who have actually tried to learn the language know that this is pretty accurate.
I'll re-evaluate this quote though, "But then my girlfriend is Japanese, so I could understand why.". I could understand why I like Japanese or, maybe on some deep subconscious level have additional inclination towards, my girlfriend. I didn't mean that I can understand Japanese with perfect fluency or know anything about their culture. Just setting this clear.
