Time

Welcome.

Hi welcome. I am also a newbie.

Welcome. Fate/Stay night is good. I just finished it.

Yay another Spanish speaker.

I played Katawa Shoujo before I was learning Japanese. That actually started VNs, but not Japanese games. That was started looooonnggg ago.

Playing Fate/Stay Night and Grisia raw at a snails pace. I have finished two routes on Fate/SN.

Makoto from school days. I can't play that game because I saw that anime. I don't hate Sekai though since it's really Makoto's fault.

Nice to meet you.

Linux needs to be with the beta release. Or at least Windows.

So here are a few things I am watching this season; -kitabu -snk -Railgun -Monogatari S2 -Gatchaman And always that annoying backlog that crops up.

Welcome! You beat me in amount of anime watched.

I am reading; Not raw; -SAO(not quite yet, all those fantasy kanji) Raw(aka slowly); -Oreimo -Seiken no katanajiki I will read; -raildex -chuu2 -hidan no aria

Hey welcome! I am also a newer person. Do you like the books of Isaac Asimov?

Welcome.

Welcome! So many people near my age...

I got involved with that project, and I will do my best to help it be finished. I hope to have you back and get to interact more with you in translation.

Welcome, I am also a new person. Higan FTW.

I'm in, I start now. Or more accurately a long time ago. I already know kana, and am learning kanji and am somewhere between grammar and advanced. I think I will finish getting to advanced in the next month or so.

I play MtG, DnD, D&D(Essentials, feel free to try and kill me for it), some games a friend made up involving Jenga towers, and the D6 system. I also have MaidRPG. Crazy things always happen. You cannot stop it.

This is new to me. I think I will read this.

I am curious how other people learn Japanese, this is how I do it. Step 0: Do Wanikani throughout the day. Memrise as well. Anki if you have to. I find I have more motivation for Memrise than Anki, but sometimes I am not able to access the internet, so I use Anki then. Step 1: Read a grammar book (one chapter and/or 15 mins perday) -Tae Kim -Intro to Modern JP -The DOJG series Step 2: listen to stuff -Jpod101 However many podcasts you want -A raw JP podcast, if you can't understand everything do not worry. -Pimsleur is for pronunciation and speaking/listening practice. It's JP is about full speed in conversation. (I find Japanese usually start slower then work up to 10x the speed of English) -Watch raw anime, then watch it with subs. Step 3: Read When you get to about N5(I hate the JLPT scale but everyone knows it) in kanji knowledge, read Doraemon, forget Yotsubato (It has spelling mistakes). At N3 go ahead and start reading harder manga and some novels. I recommend slice-of-life. (I do not yet know about later levels) If yo can read games, go for it. Step 4: Speak Talk to Japanese, there are the skype forums and also some groups have some Japanese people you can talk to. Step 5: Write Lang-8, chatting with Japanese. I keep my journal in Japanese and Spanish. This takes me about 2 hours each day to do all the physical things except listening and reading, which vary. This is something I refined after learning Japanese for awhile. I should be N2 level(gahh somewhere in early High School late Middle School) by the end of the year.

Good to meet you.

Gracias
