The last time someone mentioned Pimsleur to me, it was a dude I randomly met on Skype who said he was gonna learn Japanese with JUST Pimsleur and skip out on the whole writing process. Fortunately for him, I’ve met a couple of people who are better at speaking then reading so if not for those people, I would have gone off my rockers and trolled him like crazy.
In short, its not something I would recommend.
Thats a pretty hard show but it gives some pretty good insight into the language and clarifies some things that Japanese people take for granted within the language
But one show that I enjoy the most and is one of the most hardest for me to understand is a talk show called 新堂本兄弟
jkl:
Are you watching all those shows on youtube?It is watchable on youtube and youku and stuff.
jkl:
Have you guys reached a level where you can understand most of what is being said without any help, or are you doing a Khatzumoto-style “listen even though you can’t understand” thing, or do you watch the shows over and over, looking up words as necessary until you understand what is being said, or are you doing something entirely different?It’s a combination of all these things.
see you then brah
but anyways, getting stuff used from amazon isnt as bad as you think, i gots plenty of books from amazon that are used

Each episode is literally only 4 minutes long but 田名部 is mad derpy which is why its so interesting. She seems like an awesome friend to have around for screwing around and stuff

I got a correction on Lang-8 I don’t understand.懐中電灯と双眼鏡だけ持っています.
What does「だけ持」 mean?
Let me break this down for you:
懐中電灯 | と | 双眼鏡 | だけ| 持っています.

Not a huge follower of tennis, but Mr Murray strikes me as having some mental issues regarding tennis, rather than issues with skills…he cracks so easily and so severely, he spends so much time battling with himself rather than with his opponent.With that said, I’m worried about our Andy Roddick
Goddamit, I avoided the Advanced Japanese Grammar for a while because my Japanese friends took a preview of it and said that it wasn’t very accurate. Also thanks a lot for your help.
Bbvoncrumb: Bear my children, bro.
And no not sure if that’s the right “bear”.
Today, I learned the difference between 「やがて」 and 「まもなく」

While I’m reading my book, 非選抜アイドル, I came across something that I have seen a bunch of times but never seemed to fully understand.
・その時の私の気持ちを表すのは、一言で難しい。そこには、さまざまな思いが交錯していた。一つには、もちろん嬉しい気持ち。それは、夢への道が開けたとの嬉しさもあれば、母に対する感謝の嬉しさもあった。
The part is the 「との」 part. I’m sure these are 2 particles together but what does it mean?
I just bought whatever book I could afford and seemed reasonable. I don’t really know much about workbooks
the one i got its called 日本語能力試験２０日で合格： N2文字・語彙・文法 (but not listening as listening parts cost more than what I could buy at the time of purchase)
