Topic	Been playing Pokemon Gen 1 in its original Japanese. Here's what I've learned.

Before I go to bed, I'd just like to talk a bit about my learning "methods" if you can call them that. Besides simply reading and playing the game, the past week has done a lot to help me "cut through" the mess of kana and start seeing words for what they really are, be able to guess new verbs' roots no matter the conjugation, and ignore particles to see the main parts of speech. I look up lots of new words I don't know, or useful phrases that are flexible, and make flash cards with them using the Kanji wherever possible. I know the Pokeman games don't have Kanji until very recently, but it's not gonna hurt to get used to reading them. I figure that learning them through context is my best bet, as I'm not sure how one can effectively learn vocab/kanji by simply banging them out via traditional methods. OFC a lot of the vocabulary I'm learning here is utterly worthless, but just as much of it is useful and good. For example, I doubt I'll ever use or shout "!" in any situation IRL if I get to the point of talking to actual people, but you can bet words like and even definitely have places in daily speaking/reading/writing. I figure by the time I'm done with this game I'll move onto some RPG that has Kanji, if only to start actually having no choice but to read it and get it embedded in my skull. --- All these boomas like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVkkHVl8QvE <cite>YonicBoom posted [p:896840228] in Been playi...
