| I set my system language to japanese | i am afraid | maggie |
Hi! It's me again!
I decided as a definitely skilled Japanese speaker that I'll set my language to Japanese. Here's what happened...
It's..... not that bad?
A lot of things all across the system are just written in katakana, which is (among other uses) used for writing loan words
This means that there are tons of app names and option that are pretty much untranslated, but that doesn't make using a system in Japanese particularly easy.
It is that bad.
There's also naturally a lot of kanji. If you don't know what kanji is, they're characters imported from Chinese. Those are, just like the loanwords, all over the system. Examples of those are: 入力 (input), 出力 (output), 管理者 (administrator) and so on.
This is GOOD!!! Slowing down my work apart, I'm able to learn various computer related words I probably wouldn't have come across.
How do I learn them?
I put them in a program called Anki, you make your own flashcards and then through spaced repetition you learn the words. I take a screenshot of the words I don't know, run them through OCR, verify they're correct, look their definition up and then add an Anki card.
Will I keep at it?
Who knows? I just had a tough time setting a program up but I did do it after all so maybe I'll keep at it. I'll try to do it for a week at minimum nya. you'll most likely be updated.
WHERE IS THE FUCKING WEBSITE MAGGIE
its coming i promise
