Learning Japanese through visual novels and games

[リシテア]

Has anyone here tried this?
How did it work out for you?
Are there any programs that identify the various characters or do you search them on your own.
I was thinking of trying out VNs for memorizing kanji.

Oh man.... I can tell you 1 thing about Japanese. Japanese is one of the hardest Languages to learn (maybe Manderian Chinese is harder) espeically when learning Kanji. The grammar structure is different, nouns, verbs, blah blah blah..... it's hard.

If you really wanna learn a language then learn it from a professional or school.

trust me , german is harder

so you say having 3 grammatical genders with 4 articles each (and with the gender of each word being rather random (for example its Der Anzug, Die Uniform and das Kleid . all clothing , yet they use all 3 possible genders ( male female and neuter) having to learn when to write a word with a capital first letter is another thing ( especially since verbs and adjectives can be nominalized ( das Schwimmen macht mir spaß) ( normally schwimmen ( to swim) is a verb

then theres hidden articles where a preposition is mixed with an article ( beim Spielen)

and then theres spelling . if s c and h are together its pronounced like the english "sh" however if a word ends with an S and then you add the diminutive ending "chen" to it you have to make a break after the s and not pronounce it like you would normally would pronounce sh or sch ( and theres no real rule for this you have to know the word to recognize it

If you speak like the characters from a VN or an anime, you're going to have a hard time in Japan.

Not the way you're doing it. Learning from anime/VNs is just handicapping yourself

then get genki


i use it aswell , and its great , theres a large number of vocabs ( way more than any german Japanese learning book i tried , those were just for a bare minimum for business people ( and full of dialogues you might have in business)

genki however has lots of vocabs , grammar sections , exercises and is really good , i use it myself

if you just learn it by watching anime you will make a few mistakes , often subtitles arent even 100% correct , or things are only said in a certain context

i dont take classes at all , admitedly i havent made much progress in the last half year because i was busy with school and personal stuff but genki is by far the best japanese learning book i ever had if you are serious about learning japanese , buy it

You'll never learn proper grammar or anything other than a few words from a VN. Get a textbook and a workbook instead.

Even the K-Pop asian fans learned English from their songs. The only downside is that their pronounciation is wrong. Trying to be cute and popular. GO EXO!
