Conor needs you if you are fluent in Japanese

@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.

@OldTreeCreeper I’ll listen later but a clock?! I don’t want to know how to go tick-tock in Australian
