Also "was" and "were"
I don't know about you and others but hearing what is being said is more important to me than actually speaking the language, so many people probably understand you when you speak English, less so for you when they speak their language.
Chances are they are talking about how handsome you are and about your gucci attire and your fancy car.
Yup apparently that is the reason, I watched a lot of anime as well, but only knowing baaaaaaaka wasn't good enough, sometimes when watching it I can catch a few things I vaguely remember.
I got 40% for afrikaans.
It hasn't. You haven't tried. How many of the 11 official languages other than English and Afrikaans can you speak? How often do you interact with speakers of those languages?
Again, English and in some cases, Afrikaans remain de facto higher priority official languages in official business and academia.
You don't have to learn a new language if you don't want to. You don't have to socialise with those you don't like. It's simple. Others have made success if it.
What's the problem with learning another language which is one of SA's 11 official languages to understand and talk to more of your countrymen?
Same here except for that song. We didn't sing in the class.
Well things I learned from japanese, is stupid things, when senpai, san , chan, kun, sama is appropriate, or stupid words like kuma, isekai, neko, kombini, chickin, omurice, hai, lie, konpiūta, pan, douma ect, kuso, yeah learned a japanese swear word as well lol. I generally picked up words when translating anime titles, do it enough times and it becomes easier. Watched over 400 anime titles, you bound to pick up words, here and there. I don't I know why, but I quite like japanese and the culture in general, extremely polite and modest people, a few unintentional closet racists however lets not forget their absolute perv nature, to extend that they have female only train carriages, and other weird shyte their into, like idols, lolis, hentai. The only thing I hate about the japanese, is mecha, I FKING hate mecha with a passion, I can't stand that shyte.
you must suck at languages in general. LOL. Don't even try isiZulu.I got 40% for afrikaans.
Well they've become such, not so much during WW2, but it was an odd time. Watch the Wind Rises about the designer of the AM6 Zero, really odd to see Japan from another perspective during WW2.
Yeah I was 50 on the dotI got 40% for afrikaans.
Very important point. This is how we all learned it as a kid, by active listening all the time & then only practicing. Being adults, we just try to get into too much of grammar and crap. At least I always go with this approach and it retards the progress. I am pretty sure now that one just learns to listen a lot, take notes and practice (even by your own as getting other adult to practice with is really not going to happen, at least not free)
LOL - I tried speaking perfectly fluent (in my mind) and people were like 'WTAF'? I tried some elementary sentences in Afrikaans and isiZulu with native speakers of those languages. Now, I give people warning.
Get out of the major towns and metros and suddenly the picture changes.
I do.
I've tried Southern Sotho, French and Latin, all failed spectacularly.
Are you that huge (in multiple ways)?
