This paper is a bit academic, but short, and relevant to gendered pronouns: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~hasega...edLanguage.pdf

Well, I heard this sentence in Nodame Cantabile:
今日みな学校だって行ってましたよ。 (I hope it's correct) The sub reads: "Everyone has school today." It looks more like "Today, everyone goes to school, which is open." Err.... I assume this is natural Japanese. My question is: is there any rule to this naturalness? I can't never find myself saying such thing. Edit: btw, "ノダメさん、今日な予定は?" Is that a valid sentence? Last edited by iLney; 2009-08-24 at 21:04. |

Um, I haven't read all the posts here yet, so sorry if it is already discussed before. I've read somewhere that the japanese used in anime isn't normal japanese so we may be mistaken learning stuff from watching animes. I want to learn japanese some day and I've realised that I learned a lot from animes so I was wondering, am I wrong doing so?

I think the main problem with learning Japanese from anime is that you may pick up a lot of "baby talk" and don't learn the "culture" But my classmates who used to watch anime had a head-start when they took Japanese (they're already used to the sounds & pronunciation). From my personal experience, watching anime, still, is good practice for my listening skill (though I don't believe I've developed any skill at all ), just get used to the sounds.

Anime isn't the best way for beginners, in my opinion, because in anime, they talk like how we talk in English, you know? With slang, swear words, etc. It's not the best way. It could just confuse you even more. Or even make you learn the wrong way - anime generally has rather inpolite Japanese, and Japanese is all about being polite. I think it's best to know basic grammer and words before you attempt to teach yourself through anime.

I agree. The best way is Instant Immersion hands down! Living your life Japanese to constantly practicing the Language are good ways as well! Music has helped me (I think it's because I'm musically generated) but it's not recommended to be the only way you learn Nihongo.

Anime depends on the genre too, but use it as an aide rather than the core source of leaning the language. Check out japanese news too (avoid variety shows) or documentaries and surround yourself in different registers of the language, that'll help.
