I agree with this. I did have to look at where to go, but I had little trouble after that. Nowadays, while I cannot understand the text that NPCs say, I understand a great deal of the menus in キングスフィールド(I love this game I play it lot in Japanese). Furthermore, the game uses pictures for the weapons/armor/other items, making it much easier as well.

Also, if you asked me about what a Japanese stream would be doing in Dark Souls at the time, I could tell you, as I’ve played it in English, alot. Which is odd, considering that I played past New game only once or twice and wasn’t any good at PvP to begin with. I wonder how much of Dark Souls II I’ll understand from my knowledge of the first game.

Lastly, I’m starting to be able to take hints from the Kanji. I know this because a certain NPC had a Moon Gate I wanted, but wouldn’t give it to me. I keep talking to him and he simply repeated his last line repeatedly. That’s when my grinding paid off. When I saw シース and 持 in the same sentence, I figured that he wanted a Statue of Seath and knew exactly where that was. I came back and he gave me the 月のゲート when I gave him said item.

www.sanseido.net for quick/dirty sentences. They are plain and waaay easier to grasp than most 電子辞書 out there.

Nice post.

Turn the hourglass, preacher! It’s all about the tiny building blocks! All you need then is lots of context-rich source material… like TV shows or manga to be able to understand how they fit together. (I… wasted a lot of time with dictionary sentences which I had no hope of understanding without a picture. Don’t make my mistake :P)

I like the point about seeking out media you can enjoy without understanding it. I made the decision to switch to raw Japanese because the way I see it, if something can’t hold my interest because it’s too hard to understand, I should skip it, even if I think, “I’d love this if only I could read it!” I can always go back and check it out again later. It’s not like it’s going to disappear from the world.

And even if I can’t follow every part of every conversation, that’s no big deal. I watch shows in English, forget most of what was said on them anyway, and never worry about it.
