[–] 30 points 3 years ago (8 children)

Well, as an Indian with a love for anime, I speak 3 languages and am learning a 4th (Japanese).

मुळात माझी मातृभाषा मराठी आहे. आणि मी बरीच वर्ष महाराष्ट्रातच राहिलीय...

लेकिन school और दोस्तों के वजह से हिंदी भी बोल लेता है. और तो और, इन दोनो की लिपी एक जैसी ही होने के कारण पढणे मे भी दिक्कत नही आति.

わたしはあにめがすきですから、にほんごをべんきょうおします。今は、にほんごのうりょうくしけんのN5できました。今年の12月にN4できますよ。

And I plan on learning more soon 🙃.

    That's just one language - the language of funny symbols.

    Hello fellow Indian. This is very similar to my linguistic capabilities if you substitute Japanese for the bit of French I learnt in school / college 30 years ago. Ok, I can't really follow someone when they speak French, but I can read it well enough even now.

    AYEEEEE wassup bruh.

    Does a namaste, then raises hand for high five

    Nice. I know every language is pretty difficult mostly, but as someone who's had a hard time learning Hindi after realising it uses the same script and yet is a different language from Marathi, French just blows my fucking mind.

    French just blows my fucking mind.

    In my experience, it was reasonably simple to learn how to read / write French. We had it in school for 3 years and then college for a couple of years. The emphasis was on reading / writing and not so much on speaking / listening, though I remember we had to recite some French poetry once. The teacher's ears must have fallen of hearing our impeccable accents :D

    This feels like I'm playing No Man's Sky. Just a bunch of symbols I don't recognize and then the word "school" in the middle without context hahaha.

    In all seriousness, good for you. That's very impressive. I'm only bilingual with a basic understanding of a third language.

    Please use more kanji lol, it feels weird seeing words that are commonly written in kanji in hiragana.

    Perfectly acceptable for beginners to write in kana. Many of my students here primarily write in kana until up to 6th grade.

    Definitely is. I forgot the actual name of the writing style, but for children's books it is also not uncommon to have kanji with their hiragana transliteration above/beside it. Requiring someone to immediately write kanji when they learn japanese, especially as a secondary+ language is insane
