>>20016736Yeah, that is the problem with "exotic" languages like japanese. That translation also happens to have happened a good 15 to 20 years ago as well so I guess they took what they could get at the time. It is still a rare language but maybe today less than before.
I agree also, perhaps I misunderstood people into thinking he became a bothanist, which he did not, but he had to get a lot of basic important concepts noone ever hears about. It's almost like a language inside another language really.
It happens a lot in different specific fields, and RPG gaming can be considered one as well, I play a lot of video game RPGs in japanese and the ammount of shitty words I learned that I will never use in a normal conversation ever is not even funny.
I have another teacher who is a singer and has known japanese for over 20 years, he says when he goes into books about singing, music and melody to this day he still gets BTFO by the ammount of things he learns and how different (and marvelous, his own words) the japanese use their words to convey some things.
