Because I keep finding nifty things that aren't good enough for ToYD, and I want to stop cluttering the Random Comments thread with these things.

ANYWAY.

    I feel like any character I write has a will of their own and are just sorta living up there in my head along with all the characters I've yet to write. I love 'em like kids.

    Well, this quickly turned into a fells thread.

    I'm okay with this.

    I love that image. Always have, always will. And Sonic, you hit the nail on the head when it comes to characters. Kids, the lot of them, and they'll ALWAYS surprise you given the chance.

    Quick request. For readabilities sake, can we try not to quote images, especially long ones. I takes a pretty long time to scroll past 'em, and seeing the same image in a row twice is not very useful.

    My favorite part of that is the Protestant edition.

    How well does Rosetta Stone work? I've seen it everywhere and I am interested in getting it someday. However, because of how widespread it is, I am little leery of how successful it actually is.

    Mmhmm! I did a little bit with version 2.something, and I'm just now starting over with version 3.

    Rosetta Stone does an okay job of teaching words, but does a pretty shit job of teaching you anything else. If your language has a different script, it doesn't really teach you that (that there picture be in Latin characters, not katakana), it doesn't teach you grammar, it doesn't teach you natural language, etc. It's assumes that as an adult, you learn the same way that you do as a child, and research has shown that that's simply not true.

    Actually, in the one I'm doing, there's whole units devoted to grammar, and you have the option to switch the characters to katakana, kanji, or hiragana.

    When I tried using it for Japanese it was fucking terrible. I'd learned Japanese a bit before but had forgotten most of it. I feel it teaches you enough to get by if you're a tourist but it basically teaches you to identify key words to piece together the meaning of a sentence. It doesn't do a whole lot to teach you sentence structure or anything like that.

    I didn't get too far in it because I couldn't stand the way it teaches you but maybe it changes, I just couldn't get that far. They may have also changed it some since I tried it maybe 8 years ago.

    You have the option to display foreign characters, but it never actually tries to teach you; no mnemonics or silly pictures they look like. And while there are sections called grammar, what I remember from it is it showing you something in red and that's about it. You time would probably be better spent taking a look at Tae Kim's Japanese Grammar Guide

    Why are these all suddenly popping up on my reddit? Was there some big post on a subreddit I don't like or something?
