How much Japanese are you listening to? Whatever your answer is, I can guarantee you that it hasn’t been enough for long enough yet. You’ve been mining your sentences diligently, but you still have trouble even following a conversation let alone participating, right? Maybe you still can’t follow your favorite anime. Just keep adding sentences and doing your reps. I figured everyone had the listening/speaking thing taken care of anyway, because it seemed like there were plenty of people who could speak Japanese but couldn’t read it worth a darn, although, now that I think about it, even those people who can “listen but not read” probably have weak listening comprehension outside of the most basic situations: when it comes to things like business, news and any expert/grown-up situation, if you can’t read, you’re just not going to have the vocabulary to handle the aural discussion…I think.Īnyway, a lot of you who have very kindly come and visited this website are now sentence-picking and SRSing, and generally getting your read on, so for all intents and purposes, I’d say that the Japanese literacy problem, to the extent that we can call it that, is solved. Millions of people supposedly learning Japanese but being functionally illiterate - this is a bad situation, mate. Why? Well, literacy has been the largest (false) hurdle for adult learners of Japanese from outside the kanjisphere. But, to be fair, I haven’t discussed listening and speaking as much as I’ve discussed reading and writing. To this I must heartily respond: “Um…bollocks”.
What the heck, son?! Your method is too writing-focused!”. A lot of people have complained, well, complain is a strong word, but pointed out to me: “Hey, Khatzumoto.
