[myjapaneseonline]

Embarking on the journey to master the Japanese language is only possible by the exploration with cultural immersion. MyJapaneseOnline emerges as a lighthouse, guiding learners online through a comprehensive and transformative practice through native Japanese teachers.

I feel like I should say since there's been a recent uptick in a lot of communities I'm in/see stuff from a lot of white people pretending to be Asian, but you are not welcome here if you are in anyway stealing from Asian cultures for clout or the aesthetics of it

This includes if you're white and you give your self inserts Asian names, I truly do not care if your f/o is from an anime, you should not be using an Asian name under any circumstances. I hate that whenever I see someone using an Asian name online, I feel like I have to start searching their account to see if they're actually Asian or just a white person who likes the aesthetic of it bcs far too many white people will use Asian names here just bcs it sounds cool, with no regard for the actual cultural meaning behind it. Meanwhile actual Asian people will be mocked for their names, or treated like their names are too hard to learn to pronounce, or discriminated against based on their names

Asian cultures are not a fun little costume for people to dress up with. They aren't just a nice aesthetic, they aren't just a thing you can borrow from bcs you think it sounds cool

To make up for the fact that I didn’t do anything for them for Christmas, here’s another fake shoujo magazine chapter cover :]

HAHA ITS FROM ITAKISS!!!! Naoki and kotoko are nothing like the blorbs but I thought this pose worked for that scene (it’s apart of a much large page split into two images, but I decided to crop it cause the rest of it doesn’t matter tbh)

More Japanese doodling! My Japanese lecturer's explanation of 'mottekuru' vs 'tsuretekuru' was hilarious, so this is a doodle based on that.

'You've got Carlos, who's on fire at the moment, just behind me. So, I'm looking forward to it.'

He stood in the center of a busy street surrounded by extravagant lights, reds, greens, and whites all shining down on him and lighting up the area despite the late hour. The snow that had begun was light enough to not obscure the view quite yet; merely a small scattering of flurries before a potentially bigger storm. He stood with an uneven but genuine little smile as Mikoto held up his phone, peeking around the edge of it for a moment to smile back before snapping a picture.

A little moment that stuck with me from @lostxmelody 's beautiful fic, Life's Reflection! There were so many amazing scenes, but of course a big sap like me would latch onto this one...

Pokeshipping Week 2023

Day 3: Romantic Gestures

Wanted to draw something in-line with the last season of Ash's Journey (How to be a Master), and thought this would be cute~

Since Misty had to give up her hair tie to make Baynette happy (HTBM EP8), in part due to Ash's request, I was like, "what if Ash wanted to make up for it but couldn't find an exact copy of the original hair tie?" Instead, he buys her a hairpin that's made to look like Baby's Breath. Pikachu takes full credit that it was his idea to go with that, by the way. He knew it'd be perfect, no doubt!

A snippet of my convo btw my friend and I 💀:

[solradguy]

Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....

You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.

Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/

Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.

Good luck!!

When you hyper fixate on a new fandom and you end up breaking your own bank.

[goofballproximitysurveyor]

I kind of want to make a poll about your parents also being nerds bc i think it’s funny a lot of my friends either have at least one parent with more or less the same interests or they have extremely “normie” parents meanwhile I do have incredibly nerdy parents but they both have honestly pretty different interests from me we never have much to talk about in terms of that.

instead of supporting disney's latest cash grab can i suggest watching The 7D instead? it's a spinoff series that came out 9 years ago that disney cancelled prematurely during season 2. it's hilarious and well animated and some of the writers worked on Animaniacs so that's how you KNOW its good.
