RE: Learning Japanese #1: Planning and Ranting
A lot of them are ideograms, but some of have pronunciation components from Chinese that are useless in Japanese. It's pretty cool learning it though and putting yourself in the mindset of the time that the system was created. Very different from the roman script we read in English though.
Fully Agree! Following you and resteemed brother. Good luck learning, I would gladly be willing to learn with you and we can have convos! Do you know how to type in an english keyboard in a Chinese or Japanese script? I always wondered how it worked... or do they Anglicize the spelling?
Yeah, I have the Chinese and Japanese script installed on an English Keyboard (using Microsoft IME). You can type romanji, the output will be in Hiragana/Katakana and then the suggested Kanji will appear for you to select. That's what I used to type this: 頑張って！(though I don't really know enough to type anything of consequence at this point)
very good post, I really want to learn japanese language.
Thanks!
