@NBinted Why are you giving advice as an N2 learner after 10 years? It means you have terrible methodology and have been failing the entire time. You can reach N1 level in 1 to 1.5 years with good methodology. Skimming over your article it doesn't seem like you have a clue.
@airkatakana i've been saying that japanese translators don't know the language for a long time, every single translator i've talked to had severe dunning kruger and considered themselves an expert at japanese while being below or around n3 level
@Zen775552336741@ChibiReviews@Cascading_Dream N1 is native level LMFAO. As someone that passed N1 with almost a full score I think I know more about what N1 means than a N3 beginner.
@Zen775552336741@ChibiReviews@Cascading_Dream N3 means you have the Japanese ability below that of a Japanese baby so basically you're a beginner who's completely clueless and can't understand anything. As for the translations, no it's not 1:1. One is in English, the other in Japanese. Fundamentally different languages.
@ChibiReviews@Cascading_Dream Both are terrible and fanfiction. If you still haven't learned Japanese you should just accept you're reading fanfiction and have no idea what anyone actually says.
@MKHloc@rotoscopic@Bloodnose2@Jifaru@J18Publishing@jastusa@AzurLane_EN You should stop working on the destruction of Otaku content by trannylating it into Engl*sh but judging by your comment on "underage" anime girls, you actually hate Otaku content and probably deliberately destroy and deface it.
Imagine the absolutely retarded state of Japanese learners and their teachers when they have to pretend not only N1 but even N2 is hard and a proof of any sort of Japanese language competency.
If foreigner wants to work as a full-time employee in Japan, most companies expect you to have at least JLPT N2.
Not N3, not “conversational Japanese” — N2 minimum. That’s reading business emails, understanding meetings, handling keigo (polite language), the whole thing.
Some places are flexible if you’re in tech or English-teaching, but for regular corporate jobs? N2 is basically the gatekeeping standard. They need to know you can actually function in a Japanese workplace, not just survive daily life.
It’s a high bar but makes sense when you think about how much of Japanese work culture relies on nuanced communication and unspoken context.
Not only is the political agenda obvious here, it's a straight up wrong translation. If you don't know Japanese as an otaku media fan you're simply lost. When will localizers prioritize Japanese knowledge and faithfulness to freaks who want to smear shit all over the original?
Typical case of trannylation: CODE VEIN II trailer for Valentin Voda he says 君はきっと正義が狂気に変わる前に止めることができる人だと思うから becomes "There's a fine line between justice and bigotry, and you have sense enough not to cross it". Absolutely horrifying.
