hahahah really dude the part ” who needs 20 different way to say i m goona kill you,dont underestemate me , im gonna kill you and i m want to be the pirate king” really makes me laugh

i cannot deny that anime only help a bit in learning Japanese process… i have undergoes 1 year studying japanese, but still a lot of things differ in anime. the slang, the grammar… in anime it more to informal conversation. so they do drops some grammar so that it won’t sound too formal. =) but watching anime and listening to the japanese song at least could improve my listening. it is because the native speaker speak faster than the foreigner. they even have their own accent, such as kansai. the grammar such as tabemasu, tabeta, tabete, tabenai, taberu brings different use, even though they have same meaning. before i learn japanese, i sure knows some words in japanese but i didn’t know how to make a proper sentences. the uses of desuga, desuka and etc sometimes confused me even know. if seriously want to learn japanese, sure we need a guide and formal learning by a teacher or a tutor that can help us understanding japanese better. =D that is my opinions. thank you for sharing =D

Ich habe beispielsweise Englisch z.T. über “exposure” gelernt; d.h. englische Fernsehserien und Filme. Wichtig ist aber damit das wirklich gut funktioniert, dass man ein sich einen gewissen Basiswortschatz aneignet und die Grammatik zumindest in den Grundzügen schon kann, ansonsten ist der Zeitaufwand es einfach nicht wert und die paar hundert Stunden, die man sonst am Anfang da sitzt und so gut wie nichts versteht (angenommen man eignet sich im Vorhinein keinen Wortschatz an) sind es meiner Meinung nach einfach nicht wert.
Was ich allerdings sagen würde ist, dass es hilfreich sein kann um ein Gefühl für die Sprache zu bekommen und um das Hörverstehen zu verbessern.
Das selbe sollte auch für Japanisch gelten, wenn man mal davon absieht dass ein Kanji so gut wie gar nichts mit der Aussprache des Wortes das es repräsentiert gemein hat; es ist also so, dass man um Japanisch lesen und schreiben zu die Sprache fast schon eine komplett neue Sprache lernen muss.

Aaaand now that I’ve written this in German, I’m too lazy to write a translated version.
It’s much more convenient to just write things in one language without having to translate, so I’m just going to paraphrase what I’ve written into a shortened Version:
I’ve learned a lot of Englisch via exposure to written texts, videos, TV shows, movies etc., but I think you’re wasting time if you’re trying to learn a language only by watching TV shows/ movies.
It’s much more efficient to study conventionally (i.e. studying vocab and grammar) at first, until you can understand >60 % of what is being said. If you can already understand most of what is being said it’s much easier to pick up new vocabulary purely from context.
Oh and merely watching won’t teach you how to write most words (this applies to English as much as it does to Japanese).
Watching anime will, at most, improve your listening comprehension and maybe allow you get a feel for the language IF you already know a bit of vocab and grammar.
So yeah, if you’re trying to learn Japanese only by watching anime you’re not only wasting your lifetime but you will also stay illiterate forever. If a single hour of studying is worth 10 hours of watching anime in terms of the amount of knowledge you get from it, which one is the one you should be dong
So I’d say study grammar, study Kanji, go read shit and get exposure to the written language (and learn how to pronounce the syllables correctly) and at a certain point it’s likely that your learning will become self-sufficient and you won’t really need to actively study much. I’ve actually stopped actively learning English vocab because of this; there’s only ~ 1 word out of every 10000 words I read that I don’t know.

Of course you can’t learn Japanese language from just watching anime alone but if you really can’t learn anything even a little informal conversational Japanese then you are just plainly BAKA!
