Language Lackquisition #13: 寝ながら勉強(Studying in your sleep)
This week, Doc tries studying in his sleep.
西洋人は日本語と韓国語の違いが分かりませんのでオチは通じないのかもしれません。
I always bump into the "study while you sleep" thing whenever I look for new study methods. Normally, I'm against such lazy methods but for shits and giggles and because one person I follow also does it, I decided to give it a shot. The results so far are inconclusive. Every time I tried, something failed. Either my earbud's battery died too soon or the playlist would give up halfway through. Fortunately, I worked out the kinks and got it working but I've only had a few successful days so more testing is to be done. If I burst out of bed spouting random Korean, I'd still call that a success.
Language Lackquisition is a series about an ordinary man who goes by "Doc" and his quest to vanquish the evil that plagues his people's land. That evil is called "Lord Jimaku(字幕王様)" and he has terrorized Doc's kind for as long as anyone can remember with his lies, propaganda, and mind control. Most people have accepted their fate, many believe things are the way it should be but Doc said "No more" and decided to take on Jimaku by learning the legendary ancient language of the Gods and using the power that resides within the words to defeat him. Despite many people telling him it's impossible, Doc remains determined and sets forth to acquire and memorize the ancient scrolls for his mission.
Through many trials and tribulations, he has made considerable progress but Doc still has a long way to go. Throughout his journey, Doc encounters many enemies, a lot of them working under Jimaku to thwart Doc's efforts, like the "school" of the ancient language that turned out to be a hideout for witches that curses any would-be learner with illiteracy and a dependency on Jimaku.
Despite the challenges, Doc pushes forward with hopes to not only defeat Jimaku once and for all but maybe even make a few friends along the way.
なんちゃって(Psyche)!
Yeah, none of that is true. Well, kinda, just not as cool. Language Lackquisition is about a guy nicknamed "Doc" who decides to learn Japanese which is often regarded as "the hardest language in the universe". Despite people telling him it's impossible, Doc does it anyway cause YOLO.
Doc's adventures consist of him trying to master Japanese while overcoming obstacles like annoying anime nerds that like to flex their 10 words, Japanese sellers refusing to sell to outsiders, piss poor learning tools, and the evil that is translation and romanization.
Language Lackquisition functions as both a progress log of my own personal experience with Japanese as well as a commentary of language learning communities.
