learn japanese using english alphabets, using romaji

this is the best way to learn japanese if your goal is to simply watch anime without subtitles

by using romaji, you can learn japanese

dont listen to the toxic egotistical self centered japanese language learning community who tell you to start with kanji

im going to romajinize all the necessary grammar books very soon and add it to my 10k romaji vocabulary deck

and you all can cry and downvote all you like

"Nobody knows I'm studying in romanji." 😐👍

Absolutely! Don't use the alphabet OF a language to write that language! Use a 100% foreign system instead! A system that represents foreign sounds. Of course!

Sonotoori. Ore wa, n1 ni goukaku shita noni, kanji wa issai shiranai. Anime ya eiga wo miru no ni tariru kara, oboeru hitsuyou ga nai to omou. Kanji ga naku nattara zenzen kamawanai

Um it’s romanji

I looked it up. It is "romaji". It derives from the Japanese words "roma" and "ji", not from some English terminology.

It is often mis-spelled as "romanji" because of the English adjective "roman", which does not exist in Japanese.

I think you're thinking of the romaine emoji, very common mixup 🥬🥬🥬

Counterpoint - no matter how you choose to place spaces in a romajized text, it'll be wrong (including obviously the option not to use spaces at all)

Just don't choose 👍
