>I might also do this for prefectures and cities, but I'm not decided yet. Depends how easy it is to find copy-pastable trivia about them.
Okay, I'm not doing it for prefectures and cities, but I did it for the regions (and a few sub-regions). Problem is, I already progressed in the version of the deck I edited, so now the order is fucked up in the exported apkg file (for previous edits, I was starting new Anki profiles and doing the editing there, but this time I forgot to), and I can't be bothered to fix it.

If anyone wants me to, I guess I can upload .txt files of the descriptions somewhere, then that way you can add them to the cards yourself. The Hokkaido card has a massive wall of text, which couldn't really be avoided because I wanted to cover the history of how it became part of Japan. The other regions are comparatively more concise (but still quite long...). As well as information about the geography and notable features of the regions, I included information about their dialects. There's not much on the cards that you can't just learn from reading Wikipedia though.

I also added one extra city (Beppu) to the deck because I mentioned it on the Kyushu region's card. It's apparently famous in Japan for its hotsprings. If you want to add it to your deck, the Wikipedia page with all the info you need for the card is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beppu

I don't think I will be doing any more to this deck after this, beyond adding the occasional new city that I come across which seems worth learning (like Beppu).

Retention surely is weird.

I studied Japanese for 4 months only, had to stop due to working close to 16 hours a day.

I have time to back to studying now and might go back to it.

However, what I thought was funny is this - I remember back when I was studying, it was very difficult to retain vocabulary and Kanji knowledge.

Like, ok, I did retain well but I was studying for 4 hours a day and doing my reviews religiously yada yada. Fast forward 1 year without studying, and now it seems I can remember just as easily the things I thought were difficult back when I was studying. How the hell is that possible?

I just wish the obok (de-DRM for kobo) guy also bothered to fix the formatting.

Anki will always be the optimal method for learning vocabulary. It's on the user to balance their pure vocabulary study (anki), pure grammar study (textbooks) and hybrid study (reading)

Reading is particularly valuable because it's the only method that gives you a mix of everything on top of teaching you contextual understanding, something neither anki nor textbooks can teach you, but if you want to focus on just vocabularly for a while you'll make more gains doing anki for 20 minutes than by reading something that's almost entirely words and sentence structures you've already seen a thousand times for an hour.

Hi guys, very dumb question but i don't know where else to ask, could anyone here be able to translate at least pieces of text from the Japanese version of Breath of the Wild, the latest Zelda?

I'll explain
https://youtu.be/LF7fsSMZN5I

This footage i managed to find is about a quest where you help a small fish girl getting in contact with an adult man, but there's a bit of a debate about it, because while the American version says these two are getting in a relationship (specifying that the loli is actually older than she looks) a lot (if not all) of the european translations just make them pen pals that wanted to meet in person, and there the girl is actually underage. So basically me and other anons were curious about which localization was more faithful to the Japanese original

So can you guys translate enough to understand if it's about a love relationship or not? Sorry if I'm rude, i was about to make a whole thread about it here on /jp/ but then i thought to be less invasive and just ask here

The では emphasises the point that there's a subject other than the police. It's difficult to explain, but it's used because that there's another group involved in trying to figure out what's going on (I assume the speaker's group)

Like the difference between "And the police [...]" and "And on the police side of things, [...]"
It's not a big deal really

The present tense is just how Japanese use the phrase, doesn't change the meaning other than perhaps emphasising that it's a thing in process

Literally how, 50 kanji a day isn't taxing at all, the worst part are the new cards anyway (reading the stories and getting a good mental image takes longer than the reviews). Just do them when you are comfortable, I do them during my hour long morning bath.
Doing them while doing something you enjoy removes the negative feelings I associated with Anki before. There are no distractions either (no games on my phone, I go there without headphones, browsing on a phone would be a chore), so you just lie back, relax, and get it over with.

Get away from artificial environments (textbooks, flashcards, etc.) and just start reading and listening to native material. If you don't understand a sentence, don't beat yourself up about it. You had that experience no end of times when you learned English, you just don't remember it.

The key to staying motivated is to read and listen to things that you actually want to read and listen to. Don't let anyone tell you "you have to read X because you're at Y level", and don't force yourself to keep reading/listening to something which you thought would be interesting but turned out to be boring.

>Is it time to give up? Why am I such a failure?
The human brain is made to learn languages. Unless you have a mental disability, you can do it. If you've been trying for 3 months and still haven't gotten anywhere, the problem most likely lies in your approach.

Language is much more a matter of persistence more than ability.

>> No.17702826

>>17702816
Anki and textbooks are good ways to get your foot in the door, but you have to accept that until you start reading on a regular basis, they're going to be very slow. Anki only gets fast once you start mining, and textbooks only get fast once you're already familiar with what they're saying on an intuitive level but don't understand how to explain things.

I started reading manga with furigana after seeing around 1k words in Core 6k, and at first, I thought the experience was torture. But the moment I realized I was having fun and didn't want to look up the words I could guess (even inaccurately) from context, it stopped being painful. It only took a few hours.

It's all about how you look at things. What is reading TO YOU? Is it slaving over a dictionary because you need to be sure you know what all the words mean? Is it comparing Japanese to glorified word-by-word translations? Is it listening to the voice acting in a VN and understanding it, then comparing it to the text? Is it reading the text and trying to understand the message is?

Whatever you do, your idea of reading has to be something that makes it possible for you to maintain a low level of stress, read quickly, and understand the story. Otherwise, the conditions for language acquisition are not being met.

>the Anki meme doesn't work
Anki does work, but it's not for everyone. Speaking from personal experience, I found that Anki just stressed me out and put me in a negative mindset by emphasising the things I was struggling with, so I stopped using it. Some people find Anki very useful though. I would say to try it with your own personally-made mining deck instead of a pre-made deck like Core before throwing it out altogether.

>do I literally just start reading with a dictionary and look up every single word?
The easier way is to read VNs with a texthooker and feed the hooked text into your browser so you can look up words just by hovering over them with Yomichan or Rikaisama (see the resources guide for instructions).

If you aren't interested in VNs, there are many LNs in the DJT library uploaded in HTML format where you can do the same.

But again, don't force yourself to read something you don't care about. If you don't like VNs or LNs, then by all means read manga or whatever else you're interested in. It's just that it's a bit more effort to look up words with other material, especially material which doesn't provide furigana.

As well as writing foreign (non-Chinese) words in katakana, Japanese also write onomatopoeic words in katakana.

When you see a two-syllable katakana word like that which doesn't appear in your dictionary, you should try repeating the word (in this case, ヒクヒク) and searching that in a dictionary instead, because there's a good chance that it might be a contracted onomatopoeic word.

Depends how you use them. If you try to read a sentence first without them, then just look up the bits you need to, then it's no different than using a dictionary. If you just automatically hover over every word though then you're cheating and just fucking yourself over in the long-run.

When you hover over a word, don't just jump straight to the kana and the definition. Pay attention to the kanji as well.

A frequency ordered list of non-jouyou kanji would only be designed for and useful to a very unnatural and bizarre way of studying japanese.

If you like kanji and just wish to study kanji out of curiosity/enjoyment, you can follow the kanken and go past 2-kyu for an understanding of kanji that will go far beyond your average native. Usefulness not guaranteed.

For your 2nd question, I'm not sure if you really mean cursive or if you actually mean sloppy/fast handwriting on office notes and the margins of pixiv doujins. For the latter there's no published material (that I'm aware of) because the explanations and "analyses" of chicken scratch would be borderline comical.

The easiest way to get better at it is passively; that is, improving every other skill, so that you can make educated guesses and accurate eliminations, but you'll probably hit a ceiling. The harder way is to handwrite for 10 years.

I don't know about the former if that's what you meant, though I'm interested in what you plan on reading that's written in cursive.

>Add 'em as you see them, you'll get the hang of it.
For words with such diverse meanings, it may be better not to add them at all. You can learn words without Anki, after all, and it's doubtful that their true meanings can really be captured via English synonyms.

掛ける is common as fuck and so it's hardly difficult to learn its subtleties on a case by case basis via reading and listening. Anki is most useful for memorising obscure words which you don't come across often enough to learn easily simply through exposure.

>> No.17703204

>>17703191

Well that's a different matter altogether and depends on how you use anki in general. But for a beginner almost every word looks equally obscure and you obviously don't start from the point where you can be consistently exposed to every common Japanese word as that already requires some reading ability and a decent vocab base, so I think かかる is worth adding if you do it in a manner akin to "かかる in context [x]".

You'd have to post an example, but the majority is not cursive, just fasthand and sloppy (read: actually-very-neat-but-seems-sloppy-to-stupid-gaijin)

>what simplifications are usually made when handwriting, if there are any
When you say "simplifications" I'll again assume you mean common quirks that appear when handwriting and not intentional simplifications (which is ryakuji, which is another thing)

Sure, there are some patterns, one of the most common and obvious would be the diagonal stroke that appears when you write an equals sign without picking up the pen or dropping it too early. Another would be lines crossing each other when they shouldn't (e.g. ヒ looking like 七) or not connecting when they should (木 and ホ)Some hiragana like し and い tend to shrink a lot while others like お and あ often get larger. But that info is basically useless trivia and accumulating it will not grant you handwriting literacy.

Just focus on increasing your vocabulary and general Japanese skill and so you can develop the ability to generate guesses based on silhouettes and eliminate stupid ones with increasing speed and you'll do fine.

I never add anything with more than 2 separate meanings, but it's mostly because I don't know how to score them.

What do I press if I produce 2 out of 3 meanings but forget that the 3rd exists? What do I press if I remember there's a 3rd but I get its definition slightly wrong? What if it's a word that I've understood correctly in the wild, in context every time I've seen it?

>> No.17703275

>>17703265

If the word has a variety of very different meanings then you add a bit of context to make it clear which one you're working with. If you were studying English you wouldn't add "take" as a card, you'd add "take a step" or something if that's the context you found the word in.

Also don't rely on jisho for word definitions unless you want inaccurate and incomplete understandings of words.

>> No.17703309

>>17703275
I don't do that for four reasons:

1. It's a pain in the ass
2. It creates problems with duplicate card detection
3. I like the total card count to reflect the actual number of words I've added
4. I don't want the extra associations gained from artificially tying a word to a single context

Unless you have solutions to all 4 (1 is a tricky one), I'll stick to my method.

I'm also changing the ordering of the Tokyo special ward cards because it isn't very good. It starts right in the middle which makes it quite difficult to get your bearings on which ward is which as a result (at least, that has been my experience).

I started to ease into them after being exposed to around a thousand words. It depends on what you're looking up -- sometimes you'll be able to understand it and other times you won't due to all the unknown words. I recommend starting with J-J and if you don't know a word or two in the definition, look those up J-J. If you still don't get it just go J-E or whatever your native language is and don't sweat it. Eventually you'll be using J-J more and more as you accumulate experience with more words.

You guys don't look like you are doing shit so maybe one of you can help a beginner out.

Having a hard time understanding 浴びせられる (why is it in passive form) in "玲子を取り囲みながら浴びせられる嘲りの言葉". From the beginning of the sentence "玲子を取り囲み" I'm understanding that the subject is the people surrounding her, and not her. So I'm seeing the whole sentence as something like "while (they) surround Reiko, (they) shower her with scornful words", but 浴びせる being in passive form doesn't fit with that which means I'm surely wrong in my interpretation. The one being showered with scornful words, from context, is surely Reiko, so I thought I could maybe think as if Reiko was actually the subject and not the people surrounding her, but then it wouldn't make sense with the first half of the sentence because it would be like she was surrounding herself which is retarded.
浴びせる being in passive in this sentence makes it look to me like whatever is surrounding Reiko is the thing being showered with scornful words but then it doesn't fit the context because the people surrounding her are not the ones being acted upon, they are the ones acting.

I know this question probably retarded as fuck but that's how bad I am at the moment. I need help.

You are right, I mixed up subject with topic. 嘲りの言葉 is being poured on Reiko like you said. It's speaking from Reiko's point of view which is why 浴びせる is in passive. That makes sense.
The whole confusing part to me is that the first half of the sentence is not from Reiko's point of view (unless she is somehow surrounding herself), and then the second half of the sentence (after ながら) suddenly is, without any sort of warning or marking whatsoever. I thought since no topics are being marked then the whole sentence shared the same topic but apparently that's not the case.

It just looks like they suddenly shifted the topic mid-sentence without telling and I was supposed to notice that somehow except that I didn't.

I wouldn't say any part of the sentence is from Reika's perspective. I think you're confused by the translations "pour on"/"shower". To translate it with another phrase that works passively: "The abusive words that were raining down as the people surrounded Reika."

Does anyone here happen to have any information on the usages of phrases like 推すに, 思うに, and 見るに?
I more or less understand the meanings of から推すに and を見るに from context (Judging from..it seems; from the looks of), but I'm still quite fuzzy on the non-adverb usage of 思うに.
Maybe I'm not looking quite hard enough, but I've checked the Japanese stack exchange and all relevant information on Imabi.
tl;dr: give me a quick rundown on phrases like 推すに, 思うに, and 見るに.

>> No.17706695

>>17706604
Ok that cleared a whole lot for me. As opposed to specifically saying that it is being done to Reiko (which is the concept I was stuck on) it is just passively stating that it's happening. It doesn't say by who or on what, it just says that it's happening, nothing more.

I was just really locked on the "it's passive so it MUST be on this specific form of something is being done to X from X's point of view" mentality and I couldn't see that passive can be used in a different way. Probably because the form I was stuck on is the one I see being showed over and over again in every grammar source I go after.

If you only intend to learn one reading of a kanji initially, does that mean that you also only need to learn the definition associated with that meaning?

Do you have your Anki card definitions in English or Japanese? I'm kind of torn between the two options.

Almost all english, even after a year of 20 words a day. In the first place anki is not the ideal place to study definitions, it's best role is to help you memorise the readings along with a little token of meaning which forms the absolute bare minimum baseline of literacy. Anything more than that is best acquired through reading.

Don't mine super common words like 行く、出る、車、いい and so forth because they're so common that they're impossible not to learn.

At first you'll want to use Anki to learn those words which you see fairly often but aren't seeing often enough to learn easily through exposure. Later on, when you don't encounter new words very often, you will want to mine every single new word that you see.

It might be worth knowing that native Japanese vocabulary (usually written as kanji+okurigana) is much more common than Chinese-loaned vocabulary (usually written as kanji compounds), despite Chinese-loaned vocabulary making up the bulk of Japanese vocabulary. You can think of Chinese-loaned vocabulary in Japanese as playing a similar role to French-loaned vocabulary in English.

Both sides are kinda shit to be honest which boils down to your reading experience as a beginner is going to be shit no matter what.

If you mine every single new word in the interest of keep reading more you'll end up hoarding mined cards and you will inevitably reach a point where you are seeing cards you mined 2 months ago and can't even remember where from anymore. At this point you completely lost touch with it and it's barely a mined word given you don't have an actual connection with it anymore. On the plus side you are reading a lot.

If you slow down reading in the interest of focusing on mining few words at a time you'll read slow as shit and will get very little actual Japanese experience due to how little you are actually reading. On the plus side you are learning words that you mined on that very same day and have a much deeper relation with them.

>> No.17708362

>>17708324
There's an upside to the "hoarder" method that you've missed. Sometimes a word turns out to be more common than expected (or just a particular word that's common in the [e.g.] VN you're reading) and then you can just delete it by the time you get to it, because you've learned it from pure exposure.

>> No.17708429

>>17708324
The second method is just retarded. If you're going to insist on only mining a certain number of words each day (a completely unnecessary restriction as mentioned above) then you could at least continue reading without mining once your quota is up. Putting an arbitrary limit on your reading is just about the stupidest thing you could possibly do.

>> No.17708444

>>17708362
This, and by the same token if you don't remember the context well enough to have a good sense of the word you're trying to memorise all you have to do is press delete and mine it again some other time. I've introduced mined words more than 6 months old before now and still remembered the exact context which they came from, so it couldn't hurt to give your memory a chance.

I made a small update to the Tōkai card. A city called Nagoya in Aichi is mentioned on the card, and it occurred to me that this might cause confusion since there is a prefecture by the same name which just so happens to neighbour the Tōkai subregion. I also added the kanji for the name of the Chūkyō subregion mentioned on the card. Lastly, I added a little more information about the industrial character of the region to the card.

Here's the text if you want to add it:
Aichi Prefecture's Nagoya City, which faces Ise Bay, is a center for heavy industry
(original text: Nagoya, which faces Ise Bay, is a center for heavy industry)

The corridor also has a number of small but important industrial centers. All in all, Tōkai is one of the most industrial regions in Japan, and its coast is lined with densely populated cities whose economies thrive on factories.
(original text: The corridor also has a number of small but important industrial centers.)

Also of note in Tōkai as another sub-region called Chūkyō ( 中京圏[ちゅうきょうけん]). The three Tōkai prefectures centered on Nagoya City (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie) have particularly strong economic ties
(original text: Also of note in Tōkai as another sub-region called Chūkyō. The three Tōkai prefectures centered on Nagoya (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie) have particularly strong economic ties)

this influence can sometimes extend into the more remote parts of these prefectures that are farther away from Nagoya City
(original text: this influence can sometimes extend into the more remote parts of these prefectures that are farther away from Nagoya)



There was one last bit of info I was thinking of adding, but it's a bit grim so I don't know if I should:
The Tōkai region has experienced a number of large earthquakes in the past, including the two great earthquakes in 1944 (also known as the "Tonankai earthquake") and 1945 (also known as the "Mikawa earthquake").[1] Following the work of Kiyoo Mogi, it is predicted that there is a possibility that the area will be subject to a shallow magnitude 8.0 earthquake in the near future.[2] Nagoya, Shizuoka, and other large cities would be greatly damaged, with casualties in the thousands, if not millions, making it one of the worst disasters on Earth. The Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction designated the region as an Area of Specific Observation in 1970, and upgraded it to an Area of Intensified Observation in 1974.[2]

Oh, I just noticed something that needed changing on the Chūbu card as well.

The Tōkai–Tōsan dialects are transitional dialects, with the varieties spoken in Gifu and Aichi prefectures, as well as parts of Niigata prefecture, having features of both Eastern and Western Japanese
(original text: The Tōkai–Tōsan dialects are transitional dialects, with the varieties spoken in Gifu, Aichi and Echigo prefectures having features of both Eastern and Western Japanese)

Echigo is a historical province and thus isn't included in the deck, so it didn't make sense to have it mentioned on that card. I don't know why the Wikipedia page I copied that from even mentioned Echigo considering it's literally just Niigata prefecture minus Sado Island, and Sado Island isn't the only part of Niigata where the Tōkai–Tōsan dialects aren't spoken.

On the subject of these old provinces, do you think they should they be included in the deck? I was actually considering adding them earlier, along with old samurai clan domains, but opted against it for reasons I can't remember. I think they might be useful to know though, since they are no doubt mentioned in fictional material set during historical periods of Japan.

For now, just copy-paste the text I provided.

I'm working on yet another expanded version of the deck, this time with the old feudal provinces in existence from the Kamakura period (1185 - 1333) up until the first few years of the Meiji period (the first year of Meiji, 1869, when provinces belonging to Shogunate loyalists were confiscated and turned into prefectures, until 1871 when all remaining provinces were confiscated and turned into prefectures, with the former feudal lords becoming government employees).

This final version (how many of those have there been now? lol) will contain the changes I mentioned in those two posts from earlier.

Hi, beginner here, just starting out with the grammar guides.

I've read a few chapters of imabi after having read a few of Tae Kim's guide. Up to now, imabi doesn't seem as complicated as people make it up to be, plus everyone says it's more accurate and after comparing some of the explanations it seem that it's true. I also have a large amount of time and i'm not at all impatient, I can wait for a year or so to start reading as comfortably as can. The thing is I'm still a beginner and I've never really taken this grammar-guide approach when learning a language before, should I still pull through with imabi? Or is Tae Kim's guide actually better for me? I've also considered genki but to me it seems like it's a pain in the ass and has many things I can work out with the anki decks or other methods.

tl;dr, tae kim, imabi or genki?

I believe so, or maybe I didn't bother digging in. I believe you had 2 fields (sides) back then, and I couldn't make it randomly ask one of those 3 fields and let me answer remaining two. Mnemosync was good for that.
On top of that I had to make my own cards since I didn't want to use English for various reasons. Please note that 一日千秋 was one of first we had to learn, because they include both 一 and 日. We had to learn ALL conjuctions for all kanji. Plus stroke order. I don't want to repeat myself, but it was traumatic af for me.

Fuck, seems like this Ezo/Hokkaido card is going to be a pain.

So, Ezo/Hokkaido was settled by the Japanese since the Muromachi period (1336–1573), but it didn't become part of the province system until 1869... which was the same year that many provinces started being replaced with prefectures (they were all replaced by 1871). Worse still, Ezo/Hokkaido wasn't one province, it was split into 11 provinces, and there are no maps of these provinces which match the other ones used on either the English or Japanese Wikipedia pages.

I don't really know what to do about it. It seems like it might be a good idea to just remove Hokkaido/Ezo from the maps on the other cards. Pic related from Japanese Wikipedia doesn't include it, after all.

Any suggestions?

Thinking about it 洗濯 is 1600 words into the optimized 6k/10k deck. Maybe you should switch to this deck. This deck makes you learn easier kanji like お手洗い,洗面所 and the verb 洗う first. By the time you get to 洗濯 you already know half of the reading. It's your call anon.

I would say do J-J, even if it takes longer. You will strengthen genuine, accurate links between words you already know, learn nuances and even improve your production a little. You're also letting your J-E connections atrophy which is a good thing in the long run (unless your goal is to become a professional translator).

You can still use J-E for cards like 鈴蘭、羽織、and 酢酸塩 (if you have such cards) since they're just easier to encapsulate using another language's words.

This sounds more like an argument against dictionaries in general than monolingual dictionaries in particular (I don't know which one is your main objection).

The only thing I heard directed at mono alone is the "definition uses words I don't know" problem, which is a sign of a lacking basic vocabulary. It means you shouldn't be touching a monolingual dictionary.
