Do you think you can communicate with Japanese folks after watching anime for 5 years

[Blackangel]

i think so
at least i can understand some things in their language.

 

[Kaname]

I think so man.
I will be able to at least speak a few words if nothing.

 

[Blackangel]

that's what i was thinking too.
and yes we can say a few words to them.

 

[MadaraUchiha]

Maybe basic greeting stuff in a terrible accent.

does accent really matter?
if someone can understand what we are trying to say, isn't it enough?

[MadaraUchiha]

I studied Japanese for a year as part of my Uni's curriculum but that's it. I know 3 languages.

 

[Risk]

People have come up to me before who don't know English even the most basic words like OK so I doubt you could make any meaningful conversation.

 

[Blackangel]

then did you speak to them in some other language?
and done people refuse to learn english which i don't completely understand

 

[Demon_skeith]

I'd know enough to catch a few words and make it clear I'm not fluent enough, but I really do want to buy a program or something and fully learn japanese.

it's going to be hard learning japanese like that?

watching a lot of subbed anime will give me a good head start.

 

[Blackangel]

you are right
good luck then and i hope you will learn it fast.

 

[Star_Of_Hope]

To be honest, I am not sure.
Some people can pick up a language easily but others can't. So it depends on the individual

 

[Blackangel]

i don't pick anything easy star
i tried to learn spanish and french before. but it was hopeless for me.

 

[MoonlightShadow]

It's been more than 5 years and all i can do is simple greetings and simple words Haha..

 

[Blackangel]

that's alright
at least you know a lot more than me and i gave up very early.
