Just the words and writing system are different. Knowing Japanese also helped when I was studying Mandarin as some characters were already familiar to me. But I agree, it's not like you're auto gonna learn a language just because you know one on the same family, but it definitely helps make it a bit easier ! :)

      @@yorgunsamuray It is much easier. Sure, aural material isn't opened up to you as much, but anything written or can be written is pretty much available straight away. And similar grammar helps a lot as it's already intuitive.
      By comparison, someone who can't speak a similar language can read nothing at the beginning and has to spend a lot of time looking stuff up. And the sentence structure isn't just there.
      I think where the opinion of, 'it doesn't magically make it easier' comes from is that if you already have those advantages it can be very easy to be complacent and lazy.

Then you start running into Korean phonology, which is full of assimilation, gemination, and sometime silent letters, e.g. "to be/have" in dictionary form is 있다 "itta" but polite present is 있어요 "isseoyo" or "to not be/have" dictionary form of 없다 "eopda", polite present 없어요 "eopsseoyo" or 밝 (looks like it should be "park" or "palk") being pronounced "pak". But then, yeah, once you get all the phonology down you can read pretty much anything and look up words in a dictionary without picking radicals and doing stroke counts.

    I know 4000 kanjis (+ their traditional forms obviously), but I can't speak. Recently, I've been learning late Meiji's characters you can find in old administrative documents 🤤 that's the stuff.
    But really, I speak like a N5 level 😢

    Dogen: *asks Daniel the correct kanji for osameru without any context.
    Daniel: "yes."
    osameru: *can be "収める” "納める” "治める" or "修める" depending on the context.

    Coming out of university with a minor in Japanese, this was hilariously on point. Language itself definitely effects people differently. I have a few uncle's that only speak their native language but can't write their name or read their language on paper. It's crazy.

    @RyandracusChapman 3 года назад +19

    My reasons for learning Japanese seem to be unordinary. It isn't because of anime, the modern culture, the actual interesting aspects of the language. I am simply enamored by Meji/Showa/WW2 era Japanese history and politics. I'm a huge history buff, and the subtleties of these periods may be my favorite of any nation of all time. There's just so much to learn about in that 100 year span that we can still draw so much from today.

    Also, off-topic, but - "Angel's Egg" is the best thing I have ever seen. Maybe had something to do with me taking a bath and being drunk, but even after rewatching it... It is still the best thing I've ever seen. I recommend.

    Not gonna lie I'm number 2 and it was so spot on it made me laugh. I learned mostly through immersion and to make it harder it was in Kansai where the long ou sound is usually shortened so I am CONSTANTLY struggling with spelling... Took a language class for a year to get my JLPT1 but promptly forgot 2/3rds of the kanji I learned for it because I only listen and speak it....
