Ein Tipp für alle, die #Japanisch lernen: "Kanji in Context"
https://www.hadamitzky.de/deutsch/kanji_in_context.htm
Die Sammlung von Wolfgang Hadamitzky, die zurzeit im Aufbau ist, dient dazu, die Bedeutung von #Kanji und Kanji-Komposita und ihre praktsiche Anwendung im Kontext ganzer Sätze lernen zu können.
Übrigens hat Wolfgang Hadamitzky auch Kanji-#Poster entwickelt:

#kanji #japanese

🕹️🚂 Oh wow, a digital train set where you can pretend to learn Japanese while a virtual Tokyo politely ignores you. It's like #Duolingo and #Minecraft had a baby, but with fewer dragons and more #kanji you won't remember. 🎮🎌

For #LearningJapanese I have an #anki deck full of Heisig's #Kanji meanings - showing the keyword so I have to draw the Kanji. I've been using it for literally years, and I still mess it up a lot.

It occurred to me that maybe I keep making mistakes because my deck is one-sided, so I decided to get a second deck that shows me the Kanji and forces me to identify the keyword.

Unfortunately, the second deck is from a later edition of the book, often with different keywords 🤦

Otro de los grandes aciertos de esta obra maestra de los #libros de #viaje es incluir los caracteres japoneses #kanji y no explicarte cómo se pronuncian.

Algo tremendamente útil durante un viaje a Japón: cómo decir "estribo para el pasajero" por si vas en moto :ablobabducted:

Ad Harajuku, in particolare nella Takeshita-dori: folla, spiedini di fragole, crepes, spiedini di fragole, crepes, folla, sandwitch al formaggio filante arcobaleno e spiedini di fragole.

You think you know a kanji, and suddenly you get hit with a reading you haven't come across before :neofox_book_owo:

#LearningJapanese #kanji

🇯🇵The #JapaneseLanguage is renowned for its unique linguistic and cultural heritage. Its complex grammar and writing system 📚🖋️, combining #kanji, #hiragana, and #katakana, reflect #Japan's rich history and diverse influences. While its origins are debated, theories suggest links to #AustroTai, #Altaic, and other families. This post explores the origins, development, and distinctive features of Japanese and its writing system:

Yes, honorific language is necessary if you want to interview for a job in Japan. Luckily, the basics aren't that hard to master. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/11/02/language/honorific-keigo-japanese-job-interview/ #life #language #nihongo #vocabulary #keigo #grammar #kanji #jlptn3

For the writing systems:

Of course, Latin writing system is the default for English, Tagalog, and Filipino.

However, we do have a pre-Colonial writing system called #Baybayin (an umbrella term), a.k.a. #Surat and #Suyat.

For Nihongo, I studied #Hiragana and #Katakana but not #kanji

Still learning the writing system for:
* Hebrew
* Korean, which is called #Hangul

The real challenge is using these languages and writing systems. For example, I need a serious refresher for Nihongo, Hiragana, and Katakana. I self learned it when I was six (6) years old. Around mid-20s, I started to forget my Japanese. (And I never learned Kanji, LOL.)

Still, my favourite is (Filipino) #SignLanguage. That I need a refresher too. I think I was Grade 9 when I signed-up for sign language classes (outside school), and that was in the mid-90s.

#Languages, it's fun to learn, be it on your own or formal schooling. The way you analyse and think also shifts with the language you use for communication, so it is important to communicate with the proper language.

Example, in Tagalog and Filipino languages, the English "love" can be translated into "mahal" and "iniibig" (there are others).

"Mahal" is, just, "love". But "iniibig" is deeper and romantic. It can't be directly translated into English (but possible in some Asian languages). The closest we can get in English is "deeply love" but a lot is still lost in translation because "iniibig" is also profound, and forever. You can't just say it to another. We can probably say, "iniibig" can only be used for your soulmate.

So, here in the #Philippines you can say "I love you" in English, but there's no meat to it. It's shallow.

But when you say, "Mahal kita", there's seriousness and meat to it.

However, once you say, "Iniibig kita", it's a whole new level, deep level of love (confession). Anyone who hears it will pause and try to process it.

The way we analyse and think is influenced by the language we use to express it.

日本語を練習しています。

I've been learning #Japanese on my own for over twenty years. I can understand lots, speak a fair bit, read some ( #kanji is hard), but write virtually none. Online/digital tools have gotten so much better (ie, #SwiftKey sorted out what I typed phonetically, above), but it's not the same as being able to read and write a #language.

So, I've added another tool to my arsenal.

Shout to @coffeentacos for posting about just the thing I was looking for, when I was looking for it.

#duolingo #anki #memrise #todai #anime #manga

Say you want to study a certain #Kanji category in #Tankan, like grade 9:

So you select grade 9 to 9. Only, oops, there are 651 characters in there. That's a lot to study at once.

@TheDigitalGlobalCitizen

Hello! I was born in the #Philippines and lived here my entire life.

* My first language is English. Philippine English to be exact.

* My second language is #Tagalog, our native language.

* My third language is #Nihongo. I self-studied it when I was 4 or 5 years old. But during my school years, the lack of someone to talk to in #Japanese eventually led to me forgetting most of it. Although in my late teens, I had the change to relearn it because I started watching Japanese dubbed #anime and live-action shows/drama, but I've never gotten to the level I used to have when I first learned the language.

* My fourth language is #Filipino. While many claim that the Filipino language is simply Tagalog, it isn't true. Yes, Filipinos was primarily based in Tagalog, but there are a lot of differences between the two when it comes to rules, grammar, words. What is valid in Filipino, is not in Tagalog. What is a loan word in Tagalog, is not in Filipino, and others.

* Fifth, I started studying #Hebrew a few years ago, but recently stopped.

* Sixth, I am currently learning #한국어 (#Hangugeo; #Korean language).

When it comes to writing scripts:

* My first is Latin script

* Second, #カタカナ (#Katakana) and #ひらがな (#Hiragana). I haven't gotten into learning #Kanji.

* Third, #Baybayin (incorrectly called as 'Alibata'; also known as #Sulat #Surat and #Suyat). It is the native script in pre-colonial Philippines. The Latin script was only introduced during the colonial era, when #Spain subjugated the archipelago.

* Fourth, modern and ancient Hebrew

* Fifth, #한글 (Hangeul; Korean script)

Of all that, I'm fluent in speaking Philippine English, Filipino, and Tagalog. If I take Japanese again and practice, I probably wouldn't have much problem, but I'm concentrating in Korean language and script currently. I'm also fluent in reading and writing in our native script, Baybayin (which isn't taught formally in schools. you'll have to learn it by yourself).

I also love inventing my own language and scripts, usually for #worldbuilding purposes. Oh! I almost forgot, I also learned #Runic script because of the game franchise #Ultima. But since I don't know the actual language it was used for, I only used Runic for encoding messages (and for the game) rather than actually using it for what it was for. Speaking of encoded messages, I also developed scripts for that purpose, which I taught my classmates back in Elementary and High School. (Now that I think about it, I wish I still have copies, it would be cool to turn those into fonts.)

And, I guess that's it for me. ^_^

My cousins and younger brother are the master linguists in our clan. My lil brother knows English, Filipino, Hebrew, Greek (Koine and modern), Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese. The Japanese language self-study book I had when I was a kid, I lent it to him and he mastered speaking and reading Japanese in less than a year, and returned the book to me. LOL.

I still envy him, in a good way. He had the opportunity to have a lot of foreigner classmates, he had no problem learning and practicing until it became second nature for him.

They all left me behind in learning languages. ^_^;;
