      I mean yeah if I have to watch 4000 blurry porn definitely i will watch it for the plot and dialogues .

    2. Japanese Person 1: There’s this Chinese man that keeps talking about having sex with the tentacle monster. His Japanese is really good, but he won’t stop talking about that tentacle monster…..

      Japanese Person 2: Yeah, I ran into him the other day. He talks like a scantily clad Japanese business woman for some reason.

    3. Before anyone asks, those are from wiping all the tears he’s cried from happiness after passing the language proficiency exam. Can’t blame him though.

      A Venezuelan friend of mine learned how to speak English from watching Beavis & Butthead. He finally grew out of the accent. But, they used simple English and talked really slow and clear so it worked for him.

    5. Not as hard as you think. Chinese and Japanese are similar enough to where one can read a chunk of the characters from the other language. Verbal is a bit harder though

      It should be noted that N2 level of Japanese is NOT fluent. Even N1 (which is highest from all five JLPT levels) doesn’t mean that you’re fluent, especially since speaking abilities are not tested during these exams. It only tests vocab, grammar, reading and listening capabilities.

    7. FYI, N2 is a very far cry from being “fluent”, or people’s standards for what “fluent” means is very low.

      The test has literally 0 writing and speaking, and relies 70% on reading (ballpark estimate from experience) and the rest on listening. Being Chinese he already has a huge leg up on knowing kanji, and many Chinese people are able to pass solely through that and a tiny bit of grammar. I have strong opinions about the uselessness of the test in general, but if they just renamed it to Japanese language “comprehension” test rather than “proficiency”, those complaints would evaporate. Stop overselling and misrepresenting shit! 

      Funny though if he really did learn that little bit of grammar from jav alone.
