Many people (including myself) learned Japanese to fluency before Google Lens - or hell, even Google itself - came into existence. Technology is great, but overreliance on it is not conducive to learning. You can check my comment history and find countless examples of me offering actual knowledge about the Japanese language.Īnd, like everyone else, you're completely missing my point. /r/JapanResidents (for people who live in Japan only)įortunately, you don't have to guess at what "type" I am because I regularly post here.To create furigana in your posts, use the following syntax: (#fg "かんじ") Whether you're a beginner or an expert in the Japanese Language, our index of resources might come in handy.
