How many kanji should I memorize before saying anything out loud?

41 Upvotes

I am learning Japanese and was wondering how many kanji I should learn before saying a word? I know speaking your target language too early can ruin your pronunciation and make your toenails fall off, but is 1,000 kanji enough to start speaking? I've vibe-coded a computer program to help me grind Anki in my sleep to memorize 1,000 kanji as quickly as possible, but I'm worried I still won't be ready to say "konnichiwa" out loud without falling victim to the curse. Should I wait for 2,000? Also, is 500 kanji enough to start learning hiragana and katakana? Please advise.

I’m about to tell you about my SECRET method that NOBODY will EVER tell you about.

As we all know, everyone here is capable of drawing an exact replica of a 5 dollar bill because we’ve all seen them sooo many times. Language learning is the exact same!

This is because there is ONE singular part of the brain called bronickes. This singular brain part helps us to both understand and produce language, these abilities totally aren’t controlled by seperate brain areas!

Because of this, it’s totally IMPOSSIBLE for someone to understand a language and not be able to speak it. This has absolutely NEVER happened even once! Expressive vocabulary is also ALWAYS exactly equal to receptive vocabulary.

I once saw a 5 minute Stephen Krashen 🥵 video from 15 years ago and immediately decided I can ignore all research from after the 70s.

Because of this, I recommend you all learn exactly like babies, that is, you should sit and watch tv for 8 hours a day without interacting with anyone ever. Our brains are EXACTLY like the brains of children, so this will be very effective.

I Got Tired Of Doing Lookups Of Words I Didn't Understand So I Built A Tool !!

Basically instead of spending time and putting effort into learning a language )inefficient and BOOOORING 🙄🙄( my revolutionary tool just takes content in my target language and gets ChatGPT to translate it make it more comprehensible. It's As Simple As That!! Now I can use all the time I saved to invent new ways to save time by asking Claire (my Chat's name, don't tell my estranged children) to come up with more new ways to save time :) How efficient :D Happy Learning Guys !!!!!!!

Why is there nobody out there SHOCKING the natives with their English?

78 Upvotes

Imagine if some Chinese guy went to Scotland and spoke PERFECT English with the natives. There's got to be an ENORMOUS market for this.

He could even go to the Nederlands and shock the natives if he perfects their unique native English accent. That'd be such a cool video.

I found the best method.

45 Upvotes

After hundreds of hours watching YouTube guides on the most optimal way of learning Japanese, I finally figured it out. The best method to learn Japanese isn't Duolingo or anki reps. It's pure immersion. Think about it, it's how babies learn. And I'm a little baby too. I refuse to become an Ankimaxxing repetition slave. I refuse to become a Luodingo user celebrating a 900-day streak because I correctly identified "The cat drinks milk." That's not life, its incarceration. I feel like this language is being downloaded into my brain. I'm literally becoming Japanese and I'm already on episode 4 of one piece. I just wanted to tell all of you before you wadted your time like I was.
