    When I started to learn Japanese I made myself use the flick keyboard early on and now I'm pretty fast at it. It's so simple that most people could learn it as fast as they learned hiragana.

    4:48 After finding out about Japanese flick input, I was so impressed with it that I installed a third-party flick keyboard for English called MessagEase. I can now personally attest that flick input is truly optimal, and I can type faster on a phone now than I ever could before, with just a little practice...
    ...Problem is that this only applies when I'm texting in English. My Japanese flick input typing speed is still around 0 WPM.
    にょろーん

    • @lazyfluency
      @lazyfluency  Před rokem +5

      haha, that sounds interesting. The way everything works in Japanese seems to make a lot of sense given how spelling is so consistent and most sounds come in pairs. Is MessageEase like the steno machine of phone typing? Yeah... there is some small part of me that is like...hmm... maybe its worth learning how to use the flick keyboard... And then the pragmatic part of me is like, I'm not slow at typing in Japanese in the first place and I'm not entering some competiton, so what is the point, haha. Also there is the benefit of being able to use the same key board for all languages. Especially so when you want to type romaji in Japanese (which qwerty is made for).

    • @ashlaskash
      @ashlaskash Před rokem +5

      @@lazyfluency I'd say that MessagEase is a lot easier than stenotyping (not that I can stenotype). The tapped letters are the nine most frequently used, and the flicked letters are all bunched together in the middle. Japanese flick input on the other hand probably would've been easy for me if I'd had the gojuuon beaten into me since childhood, but in this timeline where that didn't happen... it's hard enough to think of れ as "ninth row, fourth column", let alone translate that to "third row, third column, then swipe right".
      --Incidentally, MessagEase did create its own version of the Japanese flick keyboard, but that layout also frankly looks like an absolute pain to learn. If MessagEase made a romaji-to-kana/kanji keyboard, then I'd be all over that, but alas, they have not.
      PS: At least for me, input methods and keyboard layouts can be pretty interesting or fun to learn to use, to learn about, or even to design, even if there's no real point to any of it. Useless skills and knowledge is the spice of life!

    • @lazyfluency
      @lazyfluency  Před rokem +3

      @@ashlaskash hmm, I'll have to look into MessagEase as its hard to imagine. Honestly I suck at any and every keyboard tbh. Despite majoring in CS (and Japanese), I still have a slow ass typing speed for what I should have (60-70 WPM). I assume that not thinking of れ as two characters put together helps a lot... But as a native English speaker... yeah, that's never going to happen. I'm all for learning impractical things, haha. Japanese is hard enough as it is though, so I take the easy approach wherever possible.

    The most interesting thing about this is that I could see english learners having a long line of complaints as well. In that, it is so interesting to see the iceberg of learning a language, especially that names will be difficult in most every language. While not everyone may be able to relate, I had to learn latin and greek to learn more about english, and while it had its pros, there were many cons as well. I wouldn't at all be surprised if there were kanji tests in Japan the way there are spelling tests in English.

    Ah! This vid was worth the wait!

    I didn't get the 笑 thing. Why is 笑 abbreviated as "W"? Because of the pronunciation? Isn't it the opposite of abbreviating to switch between languages just to abbreviate it?
    I love kaomoji! Especially because when i started communicating online that was the only option. Also, being a westerner, i always assumed "emoji" is some Japanese mispronunciation of "emotions" (╯_╰”).

      Glad you enjoyed it! As is apparent at this point, I'm still doing a lot of stylistic exploration. Although I like 2d animation and sfx, it is very time consuming. The thing that actually took the most time in this video was making keyboard models for each type of keyboard so that I could animate the keyboards in whatever way and speed that was necessary. The previous youtube channel I ran was actually 100% 2d animation, and so working with film and being on camera has been a big shift, haha.
      Weird instances like this W situation is one of the reasons I put romaji in the first video on this channel as part of Japanese, haha.
      Desktop is no different for me than text. I use a qwerty keyboard.
