Been practising my European language skills while reading toots including some comics in European languages. I can read French toots and cartoons on Mastodon fluently, Spanish almost fluently, Italian about 60 percent (understand half of Italian cartoons) but really struggling with German. Always love #languagelearning by reading cartoons. #langtoot

@Herstory cartoons are the best when #languagelearning indeed - my friend is learning #French but was discouraged every time she tried to pick up a book so I also told her to start with comics instead. Been doing the same with #Japanese too - manga is great reading practice as someone who’s just started getting used to the #language 😁 #langtwt #langtoot

@dkwaye @Herstory can you recommend any good ones for japanese beginners? 👀

@emmay @Herstory Yotsuba is really great for beginners but honestly I decided to go the route of ‘read what interests me’ so I started with Detective Conan and Orange - they both have furigana!

@dkwaye @emmay @Herstory I second Yotsuba. Another good one is Shirokuma Café and Chi's sweet home 😊

@coucou @dkwaye thanks for the recs, will check them all out. when I tried in the past I always failed due to missing vocabulary. I bought Your Name, which might be too advanced for me, I had to translate every other word (if not every word) and that was not enjoyable after two pages 🥲

@emmay @dkwaye Your name is indeed very hard. I have the book as well and I also struggled even though I am ~N3... Do you know the site https://learnnatively.com ? You can look up the difficulty of the books you're interested in getting. They have their own level system which is mapped to the JLPT too. I find it quite accurate
