Conor needs you if you are fluent in Japanese
Best job in the world imo, but I can barely speak English. 😃 Anyone out there fluent? https://mobile.twitter.com/RSPN_Hideouts/status/1384998206925197319 https://www.respawn.com/careers/game-sec...

@OldTreeCreeperIt does. You can say you know the basics XD. Above message was google translate? xD
Dont wanna do G-translate! I usually don’t do that unless I need to know what something says :P You totally wanted to say what you wrote there!
I'm half Filipino and Japanese and would love to join Connor but I barely have time to eat in a day because of my day job as a hospitalist xD
LMAO at all the Japanese responses in this thread. Tip if you wanna learn more Japanese: dont use duolingo 😉
@Cheese9ManLolz I feel offended! I not once in my life had a duolingo account ☹️ I learn from the masters! I just do it in basic sentencing atm ^.^
And now I have another person who can and will teach me japanese so get on with the lesson!
@MandatoryIDtag, in all languages I (kinda) speak, I have my own way. English is not the only way I do it my way xD.Wait, where is oro ;0
- @Cheese9Man I started with duolingo and moved on to busuu but once they tried to teach you how to construct long sentences the grammar rules were not explained well enough and I had to go off buusu to work it out, which eventually became too laborious.
Hardly worth it just to tell my friends "my sister's husband works in a small office" in Japanese, especially when he's actually a lorry driver 🙂 @EdwardDLuffy used an app to teach the kids to count to twenty in Chinese, as I had the Japanese and a few others covered. It did the pronunciations too which made it easy. But as usual after that it went downhill. 😃 kind of an important life skill to be able to count to 10 in a language I think.
- @Cheese9Man What's wrong with Duo?

@Cheese9ManWhat's wrong with Duo?Duolingo doesn't really teach you conversational Japanese. Even if you finish their duolingo course you can barely talk to anyone in Japan. On the other hand, I never studied Japanese and it was just something that I learned growing up having my parents speak it. My dad would also usually correct me since I'm not 100% fluent in the language (grew up in the Philippines). English is my 3rd language so I apologize to everyone in the forum that my grammar isn't that refined. LOL.
- @Cheese9Man That’s always the case tho xD. Didactic learning (learning by being exposed to it) is ALWAYS better than learning from an app, book or any other medium cause you get nuances that the learn-by-medium ppl don’t get, you hone your own sense and even get a dialect into the mix.
What duo does mostly is not teach conversational, but understandable language skills. It teaches you how to say or understand some things but mostly it’s reading (at least the japanese one since I know one person who does that).
The more you get to know the words, the better you can speak it if you practice tho. That being said, it also depends on your own skillz. For instance, I’m not much of a speaker in general, so my speech in whatever language is... adequate xD. Even if I mastered the language.... Anybody I spoke to on this forum can attest to that by my frequent garbled sentences or my “uhhh”’s and “uuhm”’s. But in writing or vocabulary on paper, I can beat natives with no effort cause my brain is much more developed in the writing or written department. Just like with Japanese... if a japanese person speaks to me in a normal way... I’ll likely look like he just recited Pi to the 1000th value... but if what he said is written down in Romaji or hiragana/katakana I can easily read it and (hopefully) understand it and respond in kind. @Cheese9ManDuo is a good stepping stone I think, but to learn any language you have to have someone you can practice with consistently or your progression will be very slow.
@Lord_Scorpion34 in the old days (pre mobile), anyone in the world wanting to learn Australian had to dial 00611194 to listen to the pronunciations of the Australian talking clock. 😃 and yes it was a very expensive language course.
Sadly said talking clock was discontinued in 2019. But thanks to the wonders of the Internet and modern science, a version of the clock is still available to language students on the below link.
- @OldTreeCreeper I’ll listen later but a clock?! I don’t want to know how to go tick-tock in Australian
@Koochi-Q it's more about learning to count to ten in different languages that I'm on about 😃
