Go learn how to write them. For シ (shi) The first two strokes (the short ones) are written more horizontally, and the third (long) stroke is written from bottom to top. For ツ (tsu) the first two strokes are written more vertically and the third stroke is written from top to bottom. The main difference is the vertical or horizontal lean of the strokes.

ſ is a long s and is not used anymore. You will only see it in things that are very old (like 1600s) or things that are trying to look old. So it's going to be rare. There are certain rules for using it, but just remember that it means "s".

I don;t know if this is the best thread to ask this kind of question but I will: I am learning on-yomi just fine but I can't for the life of me remember the kun-yomi of any kanji. Should I just worry about the kun-yomi later and just get kanji and on-yomi down pat?

I guess it differs from uni to uni.
At my university it was very easy. The beginning is very slow because you need to learn hiragana and katakana at first. after that it got a little bit faster, but I never need to do anything at home for the class ,unless 1 week before the exam took place. although I have to say that the class was good for actually speaking it. when im learning at home I usually just say the stuff in my head.

I don't know, I guess it would depend on the person. I've heard people say they've gone to Japan and kids have said "fuck you!" and given them the finger, but it didn't bother them because they knew the kids probably just heard it on TV and didn't know what it meant. So I imagine most people would let think that way but you never know.

I worked with a bunch of Chinese in the past and they lived together and would watch American movies to learn English.
One time they came to work saying "nigga" a lot because they watched some sort of gangster movie.

I told them it was perfectly fine and just normal slang, but another co-worker told them what it really meant soon after and ruined my fun.

Can you speak it? Can you read it? Can you understand and respond when spoken to?

You're beyond just learning the words in probably even an intermediate course, but a class proper will teach you how to put those words together into meaningful sentances, read and write papers using them, understand how and when to use certain words, correct your pronunciation, understand pitch patterns, and comprehend stuff like music and tv shows. Also some cultural stuff, like going through talking to cashiers and the like. Practical use you'd actually experience in Japan, rather than the stumbling for words you'd probably do the first time.

There's more to language than vocabulary, but if you can read VNs or whatever without looking up words, then you're probably fine without classes.

Well as always talk to disabilities on campus or whatever and let them know that you have a hearing impairment, if it's severe enough they should offer you some sort of accommodations.

If you take Japanese classes you ARE going to be tested on your listening and speaking abilities.

If it's a community college they may be significantly slower than most universities. At least, mine was about a semester behind the university I applied to... which is why I had to do a placement test.

People don't actually use the word "jap" anymore because it is racist. On the internet people sometimes say it and may not mean anything racist by it, but if you hear it actually said it will either be in some WWII film, or someone is using it in a racist way. The same goes for "nip," which is more racist and is used even less often. Either way you'll probably never hear them because actual racism against Japanese is very low outside of a few stereotypes that float around.

Well that's a matter of computer writing. There are fonts in which い and　り are indistinguishable. But in normal writing, you'd have a time convincing me that people don't draw bars on the top and bottom of their capital I, just like in normal writing the previously mentioned kana don't look the same. Hence I doesn't look anything like l.

To the left of each of them, there is an invisible man sitting on a toilet. The curve is a toilet bowl, and the two lines are the man shitting into it. First it comes out of his ass (shi シ), and then it falls into the toilet (tsu ツ). The man shits. Shitsu. シツ.

"Kobayashi said that while katakana script is believed to have been invented in Japan around the ninth century, his findings suggest it may have originated in the eighth century on the Korean Peninsula and introduced to Japan through Buddhist texts."

Nope, I just fucked around the forest fighting thousands of random encounters and somehow that's much more entertaining than the endless white void of RTK Anki cards. I couldn't even tell you what the rest of the game is like or what the paid version offers.

You mean that, from the website? It's talking about cave slimes, which attack much faster and if you type the wrong answer it doesn't show you the correct one. You can still fuck around the forest and keep learning and reviewing at least 1000 kanji from the regular slimes.

Oh, neat. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention.

Those confused me at first, but then I started thinking of sake. My mother pronounces it as "sah-key." Which is great since sa - さ and ki - き are different by a single stroke. The one with one stroke is the beginning of the word, the one with two is the ending.

chi - ち you just have to remember has nothing to do with sake at all because it loops the other way. You just kind of get used to it after writing it for a bit. Mnemonic devices are your friends with moon runes.

I always associate ら with the number 5. The only downside of that is that my ら written down looks like I'm writing the number face. I've actually never associated it with looking similar to ち.

ろand る both look like the number 3 to me, but I don't fuck up their writing too much.
