    East Asian languages

    How many of you are proficient in the Japanese language? (Or Mandarin Chinese, or any East Asian languages for that matter?)

    I can get by on the trains and order food in Japanese (either learn that or starve!) but other than that, my Japanese is pretty poor. I can speak a fair bit, but don't have the experience to understand it when spoken to me.

    I've decided to up my proficiency this summer - I'm taking refreshers in both Japanese and Mandarin.

    Re :

    I'm not taking a Japanese language class right now, so I'm trying to keep my skills from deteriorating too much by using LangLearner through their podcasts. Tools like this can be a great supplement to language learning, but there's nothing like an in-person tutor. Japanese and many more languages. I'm learning Languages with this tool it's very helpful and I hope it helps you.

    I can speak, read and write Japanese, but have difficulty with anything printed before the war.

    I understand more spoken Japanese than I can speak. Mostly learned it from watching subtitled anime.

    Because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
