discussion Did you learn english because of visual novels?

[Zireaelehy]

I started playing VN some years ago, at the time I didn't know anything of english, never ever had a class before, well besides from my public school but in my country they only teach the verb "to be" every single year again and again.
Back to the track, I ended up getting caught by the games, even without understanding what was written and kept going till I decided to open the Google translate on the side and started translating. Before I thought I started reading more and more each passing day. Started to watch some videos and play some voiced VN till reach today.
So thanks to porn games I learned to read and listen a new language and write too, well, kinda... Just don't ask me to speak.

So did you had a similar experience when you got your first contact with this kind of games?

(Hope everyone can understand what I wrote)

I learned my english by playing old school RPG games, where I had to understand the text to know where I had to go

Imagine learning Engrish by playing porn games and watching hentai, must be great!

 

[SegmentCoalescing]

In my case it was with the help of subtitles on TV and regular games.. mostly the latter.

Nope, but VN's kind of make me want to learn Japanese.

No, but it helped to read fast

 

[User_80256]

No, for me the main incentive was the opportunity to read technical literature and publications in specialized journals.

 

[OnePunchMan]

No. I learned english by watching TV.

Did you learn english because of visual novels?​

Fuck no... :kek:
Most devs speak "Engrish" at best.
If anybody learns their English from VNs, they're severely fucked.

It was with video games that I learned English.
And with manga, I learned Japanese "Yamete Kudasai"

I speak Spanish and I have to translate the games, but where I definitely learned what little I know of English was listening to music, more specifically Linkin Park, imagine dragons, breaking benjamin
