Why did you give up on learning Japanese?
Why did you give up on learning Japanese?

I'm not that much of a weeb, I have no incentive to learn kanji
Ethan Williams
Had shit to do, which sucked because I was really getting into it. Might pick it back up again now that I've quit my job
Dominic Sanders
Coz I'm stupid and got filtered by basic german much less japanese. Also I'd only use it for weeb shit since I'm way too poor and scared to leave the country
Jacob Allen
theres only so much a drunk man from 2007 can teach
also i got angry at anki and havent opened it in a few weeks
Tyler Cruz
My college professor insisted on forcing Kanji on us while also assuming we already knew hiragana

It's convoluted and I'll likely never have a great need for it, besides possibly for my own hobbies on occasion, and I am not planning on moving to Japan or seeking work there. I can't help feeling that learning a language such as French, German, Spanish, et cetera, would be more useful in the long run.
Japanese is very convoluted and takes a long time to learn, and there are other languages which I would rather spend time learning and that I feel would prove far more useful to me. Japanese just frustrated me after a while. It sounds nice to me, sure, and has some merits, but it's just frustrating and convoluted. It is painful and, in my case, unnecessary.

I didn't.
I do my single Duolingo lesson every day.
I gave up on anki reps years ago, after rolling through the same 3-5 words dozens of times without remembering: 15-20 min reps were taking me 45+ mins, even after setting it to only five new words a day.
If I were to take classes, it'd be different. I say that, because I took both spic and dago-speak classes, and things went pretty well. I just have no self-motivation: playing uncensored vidya is apparently not enough for me.
Jaxon Wright
Eventually grew out of anime
I kept learning japanese 4 like 1 extra year after that but since i never used the language i consider it now 2 have been a massive waste of time
Ethan Torres
I will never live in Japan and I don't consume a lot of Japanese media.
It isn't even on my priority list when it comes to learning languages.
You can obviously learn it if you don't have better things to do.
Adrian Allen
it's an escapist fantasy and I have more important things to study
Ian Martinez
>duolingo
it's over...
Aaron Jones
if anything, if I got a free language I'd learn Chink so I can beg for my life in WW3
Jeremiah Peterson
I have no practical use for japanese
Bentley Perez
i thought about it but no point, i cannot travel there due to no jab so why bother
would love to go live in japan for a few years just visiting random local sites in small towns, buy a cheap little motorbike and stay in random inns
alas it will never be
Asher Turner
Ugly language, ugly people, ugly culture, ugly architecture.
Sebastian Sanders
The NWO is accelerating at rapid pace and I have no incentive nor energy to devote myself to learning a language if my people are going to be genocided and I vill own nothing
Colton Hughes
I was spending a minimum of an hour a day on my flashcards and still retaining much less info than I should have. I'm too depressed to not be a worthless NEET, no chance I had it in me to self-study something hours a day for years on end.
Logan Nguyen
Cuz it's fucking gay, I'm only going to japan as a tourist and I don't give a shit about talking to japanese people. Any japanese woman I'd be interested in would have to speak english because it shows they have some kind of western influence. Any foreigner who's dated in Japan knows a completely japanese woman is fucking hell to date and the compatible jap women are the ones who've been abroad and can speak english. DeepL translation is pretty good for Japanese so fuck reading and writing. I don't mind reading subtitles and most importantly there's no reason for me to learn japanese while living in America.

I made a mistake of focusing on Anki too much and burned out on it too. It should not be the main focus of your learning. Your primary "studying" should be immersion. Reading and watching stuff that is at your level or a bit higher. I got initial fast easy gains off anki for the first 3-4 months but then it became a chore. Just set it aside for a small amount of time every day and review interesting words you jot down during your immersion, that's all
Chase Garcia
Because I'm a quarter Japanese and my dad used to beat me by throwing me against the walls.
Grayson Phillips
I'll never completely give up on it, but I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD. It's just one long-term obsession among many
Ryder Jackson
Sure, lol lol lol lol lol
