    Cara, eu não sigo o Joe Inoue, mas fui olhar agora e... acho que o cara tá finalmente ficando maluco o__o; (assista isso com fones, pls) (sério)

     

     

    "Não uso droga porque não preciso droga" ...claramente hahaha

    Mas né, de vez em quando fico pensando e acho muito surreal ele do nada ter começado a aprender português... na época que eu tinha ouvido falar dele na primeira vez foi em um fórum de ELLEGARDEN (ou algo assim) e na época nem sabia onde ele tinha nascido e tal. Só tinha aquela música lá que ele fica comendo Pocky. XD

    Welcome! I came here basically because this topic's title was very interesting. lol

     

    I gotta agree about the golden age thing, though I don't quite remember when it ended for me. I'm actually not much into VK nowadays, but I still like a few things here and there and keep my mind (and my ears) open to new stuff, VK or not! It's  worked pretty well so far.  :D

    And yeah, I agree with @Delkmiroph, come to our plug sessions if you can~! It's great to find new music and get closer to members in general. I also recently returned to this forums after a loooooo....oooong time gone and I'm still getting used to it again, so I know the struggle. I hope you can get used to it and become active eventually! It's a nice community we got here. :)

    Ok lol I thought it was like your label or MH's label or something. lol 

    MH label now. XD

     

    There are so many artists creating their own label recently... well, it happened before too, I just seem to see it often recently. But it may be that I'm noticing it more, dunno D:

    Anyway, interesting. There's probably a bigger chance of this coming ou on iTunes/Bandcamp/tunecore/spotify now.

    I feel like I certainly need to study a bit more before jumping in to something like that.... but eventually that sounds like a cool idea.

    Ah yeah, I get the feeling... :/

    You can always set your level of Japanese though, there are 5 levels. If you choose 1, people will assume you know almost nothing anyway. XD

    Most people I practice Japanese with are from Japan, but some are other people learning Japanese like myself, so there's no rule. But yeah, I get it!

    @togz I used my mad mouse drawing skillz to explain, hope it makes sense :v

    Also, please don't pay attention to the grammar now since this is casual japanese.

     

    A: nani sore? (what's that?) -- far from speaker

    B: kore wa GREEN THING desu! (this is a GREEN THING!) -- close to speaker

    5OCsXQH.jpg

    When (A) says "what's that?" they mean to ask what is the thing that is far from the speaker (A) but close to the listener (B).

     

    A: ja, are wa? (then, what's that?) -- far from both

    B: ah! are wa MONSTER desu! (ah! that is a MONSTER!) -- far from both

    3avKP7x.jpg

    Then, (A) asks what's that thing that's far from both of them, so they can't use "sore" -- it's far from the listener (B) too. In this case, use "are". (B) does the same, for the same reason.

     

    A: dore ga MONSTER desu ka? (which one is the MONSTER?)

    B: migi desu. hidari wa KAWAII NEKO desu ne. (the one on the right. the one on the left is a CUTE CAT, right?)

    GyEzOPP.jpg

    There are two things there, so (A) asks "which one" of those is the monster. (A) uses "dore" as a way to say "which one", it's a way to express a question. Of course we already know the monster is the one on the right, since the one on the left is a very, very realistic cat.

     

    The same relation can be found on other examples with kono, koko, etc.

    Just to clarify:

     

    * when talking about something

    - KOno... (this...) -- close to the speaker. | Ex.: kono KAWAII NEKO ga suki desu (I like this CUTE CAT)

    - SOno... (that...) -- far from speaker, close to listener | Ex.: sono MONSTER ga kirai desu (I hate that MONSTER)

    - Ano... (that...) -- far from both speaker and listener | Ex.: ano GREEN THING wo tabetai! (I want to eat that GREEN THING)

    - DOno... (which...) -- the distance doesn't matter, it's used to express a question regarding something they don't know about | Ex.: Dono ningen ga ichiban oishii no ka? (which human is tastier?)

     

    KOko, SOko, Asoko and DOko are the same, but about place. Here, doko is using to ask "what place", i.e. "where".

    There are some other variations too, but it's always the same.

    Hope it didn't sound too confusing...

    quit hogging all the music and link us 2 the download section!

     

     

    what IS music?!?

    You should really read the 'Updates' forums, it might help you clarify a few things -- like maybe what music is. Or how stuff works. Or how to make pudding.  idk, it's just a hunch... but these are important stuff so I bet it's there

    que linda e conveniente essa seleção natural do MH

     

    olha, eu já tô aqui já faz uns 10 anos e hoje em dia só tô pelas pessoas, pelas bicha e pelo drama. música (não-VK pelo menos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) basta ir no aichuun ou no miusiq.

    ou no yorukaze ou alljpop ou jpopsuki ou ex-minoshare ou--

    ...o que não falta é lugar pra fazer download de jmusic XD e dá até pra encontrar uns vk por aí (inclusive naquele grupo lá do vk.com, nome bem conveniente aliás XD)

     

    aliás, nada a  ver... mas quando surgiu o vk.com eu inicialmente achava que tinha algo a ver com visual kei mesmo lol

    I've been practicing a little in recent years, but I haven't been studying at all. Though practicing helps, I know I should study some too... >_>

    As already mentioned above, I also use weblio & rikaichan/kun.

     

    I started learning hiragana/katakana in high school (over 10 years ago) but I try to at least practice at times... I still don't know that many kanji though, mainly because I haven't been studying as I should. For character recognition (katakana, hiragana, kanji) and practicing, android's app Obenkyo works pretty well! I also try writing stuff from class in katakana/hiragana for practicing. But you see, if you're at this stage... PRACTICE A LOT. Like, write a lot, really, even if you have to spend 1 week on each row (a-i-u-e-o / ka-ki-ku-ke-ko / sa-shi-su-se-so / etc.). Practicing everyday, even if only five minutes, is very important. I started off with katakana and moved to hiragana when I finished it... but kept practicing it along with hiragana. Apps like Obenkyo help with memorizing and general recognition, but you have to write them in order to really learn them. Same with kanji.

     

    For dictionaries, I use android's JED - Japanese-English Dictionary along with japanese-japanese dictionaries online and rikaichan. Plus google when looking for examples, of course. There's also this amazing website I found recently: http://chigai-allguide.com/

    It helps you understand the nuances and differences between kanji that read the same way and seemily have the same meaning. It's also for japanese expressions. it's intended for japanese people, but having a somewhat good knowledge of the language helps you around it! You can look for specific words/expressions and find their definitions. Here's an example: http://chigai-allguide.com/怖いと恐いと強い/

    Those two are read the same way, they have the same dictionary meaning and yet... they're not the same. This kind of thing helps learners a lot, since you can't easily find and understand it on your own.

     

    Recently I've also been using an app to practice, it's called HelloTalk. It's not anything new, but the results were better than expected! It works like some kind of social media, one that you teach one (or more) language(s) and learn one (or more) languages in exchange. I'm teaching English and learning Japanese. You can see a timeline with posts from Japanese speakers who are learning English, be it in Japanese or English, and you can like, comment and... correct them. There's a special tool for that, and believe it or not, that very tool helps A LOT. There are also built-in translators, romanizators, you can even hear how things are supposed to be pronounced. You can also post your own stuff about your local culture and language, or anything you want, and interact with people... those interactions help you talk to people through the chat (they often initiate the conversation, but you can do it, too), that also allows corrections, readings, translations, romaji, etc., plus voice messages. I think even video messages are used, but I haven't done that. Anyway, it's pretty useful... it helps you practice everyday through conversation and you can actually ask for help without it feeling too awkward -- people are there for the same purpose as you afterall, that is learning & teaching. That's why you can also correct them, they are expecting to be corrected, as you also should. The key for using this is not being afraid to make mistakes and ask people to correct you when you're wrong, talking to them in japanese everyday is surprisingly effective... it makes thinking, understanding, reasoning and creating phrases in japanese a lot easier. Also be aware that japanese people will often compliment your Japanese even if it's not very good, it's just this cultural thing... apparently. Also they'll say "Wow, your japanese is so good!!" and think "(...for a foreigner)" lol.

     

    I'm someone who has a hard time studying but prefers learning things through action, it makes things a little difficult at times. Still, studying makes it better, so it's good if you can do it too. If I remember something else, I'll post it here!

    Anyway, let's practice together here too~~~! よろしく！m(_ _)m

    Do you have white ink that you use? And aww, buster-kun~ <3

    Yep! I used acrylic for the stars and silver colored india ink for the "Inktober" and signature/date.

     

    I decided not to go on once October was over, but I'll keep doing it outside of Inktober though! Many sketches couldn't be inked and I want to ink them, but I'm happy with what I got this time :)

    My last two ones were these:

    14718045_178177162641303_566414119852939

     

    So... that. I still plan on coloring Link though :'D

    Sorry if I may sound offensive, but I see such things as a lame excuse to draw. If you really like to draw you wouldn't need to play any challenges. If you consider yourself an artist you don't really need a reason to draw. You just practice or doodle whenever you can. I know I have to do the same thing myself.

    Hmm, I get your point, but why is that a bad thing? A "lame" excuse can also be turned into a reason for drawing daily and it becomes motivation. I can't see how that can be bad in any way. :) You're right that drawing doesn't require monthly challenges or even requests from others, it's something to do constantly and because you want to. Because you like to draw, because you need to draw, because you know how practicing is important if you want to improve. All that.

     

    Monthly challenges such as Inktober are not "nothing" though, they are a way to share the same experiences with a large group of people, during the same period of time, some who may not find their motivation so easily. It's a way to challenge yourself. And while I'd like to believe that loving to draw is enough motivation, life sometimes gets in the way and it can make you stop doing things you once though as important as breathing. I can tell, I've been there. Extra motivation is never a bad thing. It encourages them not to only draw and ink it, but also to share their experiences online - and that changes things a lot imo. In this case, aside from being a way to motivate people to draw, it directs them to something else than pencil sketches or digital art, the latter being something a lot of people are focusing on right now. Inktober is all about the ink itself, so digital art wouldn't work here. Of course people can continue practicing doodles, digital art or not, or whatever else they wish, nothing changes there. It's not a matter of needing the challenge or not, but being part of a global event that involves doing something you love. And that's fun.

    It's my first time participating in Inktober, but it's not my first time watching people do it, and I only saw good things come from their experience. It's a win-win situation really. That said, each person participates in it for different reasons, but whatever the reasons are, the important thing is to have fun (always).
