Got rained on like shit today again. Paid for guacamole on Door Dash but didn't get it. My old Twitch videos crack me up and it seemed I was having a lot of fun with Final Fantasy V. Not sure if I'll ever go back to that though. And I really don't know what purpose the Learn JP livestreams could have. I can't seriously focus and commentate at the same time. Livestreaming will just be when I feel like talking and playing a game, though I'm afraid to download emulators now after what happened.
Yeah, I think a good plan sounds like first just learning all the most common words without even caring too much about understanding -- just getting each word reinforced so that when you're out in the wild reading JP, all you have to worry about is the grammar and understanding the meaning of the sentence. Though learning the grammar is mostly kind of like just learning a word.
So I guess an ideal scenario would be knowing complicated words and kind of knowing the grammar, but not really able to piece together the meaning. Even if it's a really basic sentence. I don't know. It's obviously reckless to try to learn every word before drilling comprehension, so at some point, I guess 2000 words or 5000 words or 10000 words or whatever the statistic is, you want to be --

I love Japanese, but I can't fucking stand half the people who study it. But I couldn't care less about being banned by some random server that's clearly full of ignorant mods who can't comprehend how calling Japanese a meme language could be a reverence. Why would I want to talk with those idiots anyway? I will however take this opportunity to expand on the idea. It goes without saying (or at least, I thought it did) but of course, obviously, Japanese is a real language spoken by real people to live their lives, think, communicate, do business, experience art, read the news, and so on. It's not strictly a meme language, and it has a rich history that inspires admiration and wonder in everyone who knows it. But Japanese is undeniably full of memes. Americans have meme-ified Japanese. Which mea...
