Hello everyone. This is task #1 in the textbook, and unfortunately, I’ll have to rely on English:
Why am I studying Japanese?
Because I want to be able to 1) understand the many anime shows and movies that inspire me, 2) visit Japan and be able to communicate while there, and 3) study Japanese semantics.
We’ll see how this goes. Good luck to everyone!
Welcome!
Study semantics, huh? One of the interesting quirks I’ve noticed about language-learning is that you tend to find the foreigners learning a language as an adult know the grammar rules much better than a native-speaker who learnt as a child. By which I mean, the native speaker has learnt the language from simply being exposed to it their entire life, so they instinctively know how the grammar works and what’s right and what’s wrong, but probably don’t specifically know all the laws and technical terms, while a foreign learner has to be explicitly told what the rules are.
agreed, except id have to say my grammar in English still sucks despite it being my native and (hopefully not for long ;) ) only language i know.
