where to get dubbed Western series (Twin Peaks/the Office) from besides purchasing them?

>>18497725
What don't you like about it?

Was this piece of shit actually written by someone who has studied japanese?

>>18497810
Search for the series name and 日本語吹替版. The Office appears to only have been released with Japanese subtitles. Twin Peaks also appears to only have Japanese subtitles.

I found a website that has full episodes of ツイン・ピークス with Japanese subtitles but it's in Korean and I have no idea what the message being displayed on the video is all about.

>>18497897
I use that phrase all the time.

>>18497974
Why? It's unnatural and gets you worse results than just X 意味

>>18497978
>Why? It's unnatural
I use unnatural searches in English all the time because the results are slightly better.

>and gets you worse results than just X 意味
That gets you Chinese garbage unless you're using Japanese google.

>>18497981
Example.

Anyway it's phrased that way because the results tend to be better but it should probably say that it doesn't mean "meaning of X".

>>18497897
Ａ．Ｘ　とは

これもべんりだよ

>>18497981
I don't understand what you're trying to show me here. Instead of using the phrasing that will get google to pop up the J→J and J→E immediately, you're typing in something that doesn't make sense and jumping through hoops? Why?
And what the fuck? 意味 isn't Chinese.

Here you go while we're cherrypicking.

>>18497998
This is just silly damage control. How are the results better exactly?
I don't know why it's there in the first place, any idiot can figure out the best way to search for the meaning of a word is "word+meaning." All it does is reinforce that "Xという意味" is how you ask what X means in Japanese, which it isn't.

>>18498068
>And what the fuck? 意味 isn't Chinese.
Yes it is.

Google's definition widget is bad.

>>18498102
When you use の意味, the J-E translation always pops up unless you use Japanese Google. Dropping the の means sometimes you get Chinese stuff instead of Japanese, especially with chuuni vocabulary you're likely to need to look up manually. Stuffing in random kana affects the results in other ways. All considered, I think screwing with the wording to trick the algorithms is fine.

>>18498092
Playing around with Google, the way to get the search engine to search for the meaning of Chinese words is word+的含义

>>18498134
When I search word+的含義 I still get some Japanese stuff because it ignores 含義. 義 is the traditional version of 义.

>>18498132
>those hanzi in the upper image
ew

>>18498149
Yeah for some reason Chrome is using hanzi in English mode and kanji in Japanese mode. Weird.

>>18498146
>義 is the traditional version of 义
I was wondering what the traditional version of 义 was. Didn't mean to further derail the thread so no more Chinese silly runes from me. ^_^｀

I'm the guy you replied to.

I use KanjiTomo. You need to run it from the terminal like so:
>java -jar /home/oresama/Downloads/KanjiTomo/KanjiTomo.jar -run

If you only double-click the KanjiTomo.jar file in your file manager, it seems to omit the "-run" flag resulting in nothing happening. You need to have Java JDK or Java JRE installed for it to work (the KanjiTomo website recommends JDK). KanjiTomo is not officially supported on Linux and, as a result, it seems the Zoom feature doesn't work (at least for me).

One note on using KanjiTomo: I highly recommend you tell it what the text colour and orientation are under the Settings menu. It increases accuracy considerably compared to leaving it on automatic in my experience. Ignore the "White on Black" and "Black on White" descriptors; It should really say "Light on Dark" and "Dark on Light".

Thanks, I will probably give KanjiTomo another try. Although I believe that were I able to set it up correctly, tesseract invoked by keyboard shortcuts would be somewhat faster.

Could someone please explain how exactly どうぞ is used? Cause the core 2k deck puts it as 'please' but after checking google, it's being said that it's used to mean 'go ahead' or something of the sort

>>18498377
>>18498421

>>18498565
Will you fuck off to /int/ already? There is a long running thread for off topic blogging in Japanese and nothing you post every has anything to do with this thread.

>>18498636
>it's used to mean 'go ahead' or something of the sort
yes go watch more cartoons or something

>>18498643
>nothing you post ever has anything to do with this thread
he does post answers and contribute on occasion
in fact he's already done so in this very thread but you wouldn't know that cause you can't read japanese huh

>>18498667
How do you know who he is and why is that happening? I thought this was an anonymous imageboard. If you like talking & blogging to your buddies so much, why don't you make a discord group and fuck off?

>>18498679
Also, even if the anon up there can't read Japanese, anyone can use the translator.

>>18498636
>どうぞ
when you let other people do something, almost always you can use it.
e.g. どうぞ（受け取ってください）。
　どうぞ（食べてください）。
　どうぞ（入ってください）。etc.
> 'go ahead'
same in English? "please go ahead"

>>18498697
Thanks anon, that helps a ton

>>18498636
It's one of those words which you can't really nail down with a simple English simile.

>after you
>please take one
>go ahead
etc. are all potential translations. What it means in English varies from context to context.

It's a polite expression used when offering something to somebody/giving deference to someone.

>>18498679
why are you acting like imouto's blogging and immediately apparent posting style are my responsibility

>>18498685
i'm sorry to have to break this to you here and now under these unfortunate circumstances but google translate doesn't know japanese either

Did anyone here "learn" the kanji at a break neck speed? Did it work well?

I was doing them at 10 a day and got bored because I never looked at the settings to realize you could change the number of new cards/day. I have lots of free time and focus, enough for maybe 50-100 a day, not including reviews.

Is there any reason I shouldn't speed through them?

>>18498780
ちょっとおおすぎるかな

１週間で３０くらいがいいとおもうよ

>>18498780
There's no reason not to spend as much time as you'd like on learning, as long as you don't burn out.

>>18498780
1. Just because you have time to learn 50-100 kanji a day doesn't mean you're actually mentally capable of doing so.

2. 50 cards a day will before long result in over 500 reviews per day. 100 cards a day will quickly result in over 1000 reviews per day.


I understand your impatience but you are only going to make yourself suffer and fail. What you are attempting is not possible in the first place and will amount to nothing more than wasted time., forcing you to go all the way back to step one, possibly after a long break from learning Japanese altogether as a result of the frustration.

How many time does it take for you to finish core?

>>18498791
>>18498805
>>18498800

1000 reviews is way too much, even as someone who has no problem spending hours studying. I think 30 does sound like a good place to start, then I might see if I can handle more. Thanks for the advice, anons

>>18498811
>How many time

>>18498780
いちにちでおぼえようとするのは

ネイティブでもやらないよ

>>18498780
20 is average pace
30-50 is fast pace.
Don't go over 50. You WILL burn out.

>>18498852

The pace is largely irrelevant to be honest, what counts is how many you can remember. Whether you do 10 or 50 per day barely matters in the long run because it's all bottlenecked by how many you can actually keep stuck in your head. Any initial time saved by going faster than you can handle will be negated by having to face a larger amount of future reviews in the upcoming months.

The fuck is this shit? How can the degree of formality just randomly change completely based on whether it's printed on paper or not?

Decided to check out the AJATT website. Wtf is this shit? It looks like a huge scam. Is this really the official AJATT guide? If it is, is there a more condensed, professional-looking version of the guide?

>>18498953
The more time you spend doing stuff in Japanese, the faster you will learn Japanese.

>>18498942
Yo man, would you, like, write a book in English, like, in the same manner as the, like, spoken language?

>>18498942
Safe to ignore

I have no clue why they're trying to distinguish text from speech like that in the current era but suffice it to say it's not particularly important. I think the point is that である sounds literary

>>18498953
You don't need any of the shit from the AJATT site, just the "concept" of AJATT, aka immersion (in other words, what people from DJT who have enough self-control to stop themselves from wasting several hours per day on 4chan have already been doing for years.)

>>18498970
You also don't use だ in writing unless it's a dialogue or inner monologue.

>>18498953
I've never actually used any of the material because the layout is rather retarded and the method is literally in the title, but I like getting his emails as somehow they're still unique 9 months after I subscribed. Actually I never read them, I just like having them come into my inbox and say hi to me like I have a japanese learning friend messaging me all the time. I decided to read this one I got the other day, and it really sucked.

>>18498982
dialogue (incl. messaging, the internet) and inner monologue makes up the vast majority of writing though

making that distinction and leaving it unexplained is like saying the pronoun "I" isn't used in english writing

>>18498942
I do not quite understand this explanation.
>change completely based on whether it's printed on paper or not?
No, as far as I know
です -> formal
だ/である -> informal
であります -> The speaker or writer must be a scholar, soldier or politician.

>>18499003
Obviously if you quote spoken text, then the rules for spoken text apply.

That's a chinese keyboard though

You appear to be missing a few important keys I would say. (A few hundrer maybe?)

>>18499152
Well, if you mean your question seriously and you speaking of using computers, I advise you to search for Google IME.

>>18498953
Half the AJATT Table Of Contents is just motivational stuff. The other half of it is theory and execution.

While the Table Of Contents take several days to read, the AJATT method can actually be summarised very briefly:
1. Aim to be reading Japanese or listening to Japanese 24 hours a day ("All Japanese All The Time")
2. Don't read a grammar guide (...even though the founder and everyone else who has done AJATT successfully did)
3. Learn words by making sentence cards for them in an SRS program.
4. Switch to J-J dictionaries and cards as soon as possible.

Is anybody planning on uploading some new stuff to the DJT library next month? Seems like we're still missing a few items. Also, is there a place where I could upload a few things for so that they'd be included in the next update?

>>18499510
Yes, just post it here and they'll be included in the next update.

I just finished Tae Kim's Complete Grammar guide. It doesn't seem to be a 'complete' guide at all, more like an 'optimised' guide. Should I go through the actual full guide or just keep reading and making notes of new grammar I come across?

>>18499899
Start reading actual stuff and go through a few cards in the DoJG deck every day while you're at it.

>>18498183
So you learn those Japanese kanji and you have no idea how they correspond to 簡体字? For real? You just learn shit like 義 and 义 twice???

>>18499899
>It doesn't seem to be a 'complete' guide at all, more like an 'optimised' guide
Pretty much. That's the point, it's short and has covers all the basics.
There is no "full" tae kim guide, he has another guide but last I checked it's unfinished and honestly a little worse at getting to the point than his grammar guide.

>just keep reading and making notes of new grammar I come across?
Yes. Do this, use google and DOJG here:
https://core6000.neocities.org/hjgp/
to fill in gaps in your knowledge.

I'm looking for a specific anki deck I used to have. It was a core 2k/10k, I think. The front of the card was the term in english, incomplete sentence in japanse and complete sentence in english. The back was japanese term, complete japanese sentence, complete english sentence and buttons to play the audio of both term and sentence. Does anyone have it/know where I can get it?

>>18499899
The Tae Kim linked and recommended in our guide is not the "Complete Guide", but the Grammar Guide.

>>18499939
That deck layout is obviously terrible.

>>18499927
Thanks for the recommendation.

>>18499942
Yeeeeah. I thought I was being big dick supreme and going one level beyond to do as much reading as possible. That didn't work out for me.

>>18499935
Thanks for this. Can I just double-check that this is an online-only resource and not something I can put in an Anki deck? I just noticed the pictures have a scroll bar and I don't think that'd translate well to mobile.

Is 縦断 some kind of title, or is there some meaning I'm not getting here?

>>18500017
I've been reading through this really slowly(a week and I'm only at this point) so I can't really say so far. Although I really want to fuck Misaki when she's in her 低血圧 mode.

>>18499971
There's an anki deck too but you really shouldn't bother, this isn't the kind of stuff you acquire through rote memorization. The grammar part is mostly intuitive, or just classical conjugations, and you'll figure it out anyway.

There's a lot of it that's just common use patterns of words like 契機 and 前提, more like a dictionary of phrases than "grammar"

It's better to just read it like you would any other guide if it interests you.

>>18500026
Alright, thank you very much for the help.

Mining and having to add card to anki is such a chore...

>>18500061
It literally takes 5 seconds to add a card to anki

>>18500061
Are you doing it in some stupid way or something?

>>18498738
どうぞ is pretty much used the same way Italians use ''prego''. Monolingual amerimutts wouldn't understand.

>>18500131
MARTELO NO PREGO, CARALHO! FODE SIM!

>>18500061
I find the adding to Anki process to be a pretty decent review myself. When I mine words, I just put them into a txt file and then the next morning I manually add them into Anki after looking up their definitions again. It's a decent refresher of whatever I mined last night.

>>18500061
if youre looking at words externally from a browser you can just paste the list into pastebin or something and then just use yomi to mine them quickly

>>18500160
When I mined I used to manually add words like this, because I wanted daijirin definitions only and was too lazy to figure out how to get rikai to do it.
It it pretty good review, especially when you read the J>J dictionary as you do it for more comprehensible input

>>18500061
Are you actually retarded? No, seriously?

>>18497719
>https://neodjt.neocities.org/newguide.html

Are there any resources on calligraphy? My written kanji always look ugly as fuck and I'd really rather have a readable and aesthetically pleasing writing if at all possible. There are local courses here in my city but I'd rather not pay for them if there are online resources that can help.

>>18500431
I'm not offended, you just have to go back.

I did 6 hours of Aiyoku no Eustia today, and I want to fucking die. Why does reading have to be so hard and slow, Christ. I bet a native would have made it as far as I did in <2 hours.

What's worse is that I actually have N1 with a half-decent score. Why am I still in dekinai-land?

>>18500447
Because you're still illiterate because you haven't read enough.

>>18500061
the time you spend mining could just be spent on more reading

>>18500447

Think of it this way, if you can read even 1/3rd the speed of a native you're lightyears ahead of most of this place. Just keep at it.

>>18500447
>What's worse is that I actually have N1 with a half-decent score. Why am I still in dekinai-land?
Because you don't need to read native level stuff in order to pass it?

>>18500494
I can read at 1/3 the speed of a native and I don't know Japanese.

>>18500440
Well seeing as there's nowhere in particular I came from, we seem to be at a standstill.

>>18500610

>>18500447
how is Eustia anyways? Was thinking about picking it up

黒人が大嫌い

>彼は⾼校⽣だと聞いたけど、信じられない
How can I be sure that the topic here is a part of what the speaker said they heard rather that the topic of the whole sentence itself, essentially making it mean "He heard that they were a high school student, and doesn't believe it."

>>18501423
If it was
彼は、⾼校⽣だと聞いたけど信じられない
then you could be sure, but otherwise you just have to use context. Context determines what topics are allowed to do.

>>18501423
I doubt you can assert someone else's beliefs. 彼は信じられない sounds weird, same way you can't say 欲しい about someone else.
If what you said were the case, it would probably be written as 彼は信じられないって.

Which would be better for a first VN, Flyable Heart or Clover Day's? Flyable Heart has better art imo but the "Low Sexual Content" tag is making me weary.

>>18499978
アメリカ横断ウルトラクイズ was a popular Japanese tv program

>>18501486

Flyable Heart is easier to read.

>>18501466
I guess that's the biggest giveaway, taking in account the culture, but the lack of context really set me off balance.

>>18501486

You should read what you find the most interesting and thus can stick with, it's going to be real slow going at first no matter what.

I'm looking for a specific anki deck I used to have. It was a core 2k/10k, I think. The front of the card was the term in english, incomplete sentence in japanse and complete sentence in english. The back was japanese term, complete japanese sentence, complete english sentence and buttons to play the audio of both term and sentence. Does anyone have it/know where I can get it?

>>18501309
Pretty good so far. Granted, I’m a sucker for dark fantasy and the whole “flying city” aesthetic. The protagonist is surprisingly good compared to your average MC too.
The vocabulary is a bit of a problem though, so much relatively obscure shit for an entry-level VN. It’s no Leyline or moege.

>>18501423
信じられない is pretty much only used with the speaker as the implied subject as >>18501466 says so even in third person you would have to specify that it's not the narrator talking in some way.

Also this sentence is missing a subject for 高校生だ if it's not 彼, so it not make sense to phrase it that way. Even if you were already talking about someone else in the context, you are swapping out the context with 彼は here, so you would have to say something like:

彼は、[あの人]が高校生だと聞いたけど、それが信じられないようだ。

maybe.

So yeah, context, but also phrasing and process of elimination

>>18501603
do you have any idea why vndb has it listed as both low and normal sexual content?

>>18501616

Obviously shit from the kamakura period isn't going to be in modern Japanese

>>18501616
>Also this sentence is missing a subject for 高校生だ
That, I guess, too. But I'm used to listening to colloquial speech where this type of expressions are abundant.

>>18501581
>>18500000
The layout is shit because you're training yourself to remember what is on the back of the card when you see what is on the front of the card. You'll never see what is on the front of the card in that layout outside Anki. Just use the deck in the guide.

The layout of the one in the guide is garbage, tho. Complete white text on pitch black background is horrible to read. The english term is completely off center. It's so bad, that when there is more than four words, the second half is on the line below. Also, no button to play the audio? I study on my phone, I don't have a keyboard. It's fucking garbage.

At least one minute per word, could be more, the reason is that I like having the translation in my own native language.
Also I regularly have to check the japanese definition if the meaning is too vague.
Finally I want the correct audio pronunciation.
Unfortunately some part of the process can't be fully automated unless you want messy cards.

So I'm about 2 months into anki and grammar guides and, dare I say, I'm actually starting to have fun learning this stupid language (that or I'm suffering from some sort of bizzare self-imposed Stockholm syndrome).
One thing though, I've found that, while I'm beginning to be able to recognize kanji for a specific "words" and conceptualize said kanji in my head when saying such words aloud, i would not be able to reproduce that kanji freehand even if my life depended on it. Is this normal or should I just study more (or am I just a brainlet)?

>>18502285
Don't worry about it.

>>18502285
>he doesn't know about radicals
git gud kid, also get a notebook and draw with correct stroke orders, at least once per new word you learn.

>>18502285
It's normal if you're not learning writing.

Anyone in this thread have experience with actual university-level Japanese classes, degree and such? I'm currently starting my Japanese/native language (not English) double graduation plan (plus I plan on adding linguistics later on if I can). Many people say the degree is useless, there are no job opportunities, it's way better to just pay for language school courses and such, but I actually do like languages in general, and have been working with English translation for a while now. I can, and am willing to, study lots outside of the actual classes, but I'm not sure what else could I do to be as effective as I can with my learning parallel to the classes themselves.

>>18502492
hmm..
>例を言う

>>18502695
Just follow the guide and treat the class as a supplement. Worst thing you could do is let the pace of the class hold you back.

>>18502695
Watch lots of anime

I thought I was finally done with Anki, but I keep forgetting words even while reading every now and then. I'm returning after over a year of not doing any reviews at all.
I had over 10000 due when I started, 6734 due left now. It will probably take a month just to relearn everything.

In regards to writing out your kanji Heisig says
>Simply rewriting the
character will reinforce any latent suspicions you still have that the “tried and true method” of
learning by repeating is the only reliable one—the very bias we are trying to uproot.
How is learning by repetition a bad thing if it involves writing it? Also how is this any different than using Anki?

>>18502808
cool i fucked up that quote

>>18502808
Anki is spaced repetition (effective for long term) rather than massed repetition (effective only for short term).

>>18502759
>treat the class as a supplement
Are classes really that bad? At least for the university I frequent, the full professor body is Issei/Nissei, and from what I know, it's par for the course for the students to understand (closer to the end of the degree itself) native Japanese people when they come for lectures. I don't know if that's usual for university classes, so yeah.

>>18502772
What if I'm not a big anime fan? I do enjoy VNs, but I've never been into anime that much.

>>18501486
On average, every girl gets 2 sex scenes. I wouldn't say that is low sexual content, but I don't read VNs for the porn so maybe I'm wrong.

How predictive is the J-CAT? Can a score be very inflated due to hitting right answers by chance?

>>18502834
It's impossible for classes to be good unless they require students to get a few thousand hours of native Japanese input. Very few do. Don't trust anyone's claims, try actually showing a fourth-year student a novel in Japanese and ask them to translate a few paragraphs.

You don't even have to do that well, if you're brown you literally just have to make the national.average and you can get a free ride at most colleges.

Any multi answer test score can be inflated if you get lucky, J-CAT is no expection. In general you should still be scoring close to your actual level

>>18498667
>in fact he's already done so in this very thread but you wouldn't know that cause you can't read japanese huh
This single post here >>18498034 isn't helpful enough to justify every other post.
I know you don't like to get called out on your fucking pathetic roleplay but give it a rest. If you aren't the manchild in question it means you are defending the manchild, which is even worse because it would mean white knighting for someone who routinely spams the sort of off topic shit that people like you would freak out and tell them to go back to /int/ for if it was posted in English.
Those who defend the いもうと roleplayer have no right to complain about other off topic garbage in the thread. Don't even pretend like you aren't one of the loudest advocates of telling people to go back to /int/, hypocrite.

>>18502949
Well, I did like half of Kanjidamage before I dropped individual Kanji study, I'm only done with 1/4 of core and 3/4 of Tae Kim, I read Easy News every day and it puts me into 'Intermediate' (Between N3 and N2 of the old JLPT). This seems a bit inflated.

>>18502916
Mine doesn't, fortunately. College is free for anyone good enough to pass the tests. And it's very good education, for that matter.

>>18502899
I'll actually consult my professors and see how things really are in the course, how much it's expected of students outside of the classes and mandatory home study itself. Should give me a better idea of how much I should search for supplementary work.

Even then, I'm 100% going to get in contact with Japanese media daily as soon as I reach a level where grammar structure makes sense for me. It's how I managed to learn English so it should work just as well for Japanese, I hope.

>>18501521

You fool, the ride never ends.

>>18503160
Probably not as much as I should have, but the thing is, once you get past beginner words, vocab can become rather specialized. Things that you might not normally meet for years unless you read specialized text.
You didn't read a sci-fi VN/LN for a year? You probably forgot a few dozen or few hundred technology/military/science related words. Same with food, etiquette (there are a fuckload of words that you only use when addressing nobility or the Emperor, etc), fantasy or magic, politics, religion, etc.

I'm into my third week
Progress so far:
>Learned Hiragana/Katakana in a day or so, reading speed is picking up, no issue reading, writing or recalling individual kana
>Finished chapters 1 and 2 of Genki, starting chapter 3 and writing simple sample sentences
>18 days of daily Anki core 2k, retention is fairly high, practicing stroke order separately, have begun to use ultrabasic Kanji like 水予備、会、私、先生, 勉強 in emails
>Began emailing a local Japanese prof (Native JP) at my college who is going to help me learn for free through phone conversation, emails and course materials, they will only correspond in Japanese
>Began the Tae Kim guide (bought the physical copy) and RTK, but I'm wary of it

It seems like 2 hours a day after work is a fine amount to progress at a decent rate.
Why do people seem to have such a hard time starting? Or is the issue severe burnout?

>>18503159
Yes, ignore it.
Most kanji components have nothing to do with the meaning.

However, there are some radicals that are often related to the meaning. They are positioned on the left (with rare exceptions). Here are a few examples
氵- liquid, ex: 注ぐ　液　湿
疒 - body ailments, ex: 病気　痩せる
⺼ - body parts, ex: 腕　脳　肌
⻌ - physical locations, physical displacement, ex: 辺り　道　逃げる　追う　運ぶ　連れる

>>18503437
and by examples I meant radical examples, not the kanji examples. There are more radicals like these.

>>18503380
>頁 and 首 were originally the same pictographic character with the same meaning of “head”, and the graphical difference was that 頁 also included the body in addition to the head of the person.

豆 is phonetic and doesn't mean anything in 頭, but there you go, that's why 頁 is there and it's also why kanji like 項 and 額 have that component.

>>18503437
is there a big list of these kinds of examples?

ive memorized radicals and tbqh its kind of rare i put together meaning with them

>>18503334
ESL here but "understand" is the only word whose meaning I genuinely cannot assemble from "under" and "stand". It's just a word for me. Butterflies I can at least connect to flying, and I guess to flies, but instinctively I don't because flies are unpleasant.

>>18503498
sometimes you got to stand under something to really know how it works

Could be 水曜日. Gaijin aren't very good at long vowels.

>>18503665
I'm picking up and using vocab from Genki and Anki fairly reliably and the forward warns of studying kanji separate from RTK and goes as far to say it could harm your studies if you do so
>>18503673
That's because I fucked up and typed the wrong word, meant to say 水曜日, which I did say use in the email [来週の水曜日一時二十分に会いましょう] despite tarding out just now

What do I do about names of people/places kanji? Will I eventually just know them because of the words they come from?

>>18503797
Hahaha good fucking luck. You'll have to learn most of their readings one by one.
Sure there are simple ones like 大阪、広島、福島、田中、鈴木、山田, etc. But sometimes they are just completely arbitrary, like 一男、 東雲、如月 and every other name from the Lunar calendar, etc.

>>18503797
you curse this shitty language

>>18503797
Kanji for proper names are the biggest reason I can't make myself read Japanese newspapers because mildly interesting content becomes stupidly hard and I just can't be bothered because I want to memorize real kanji first. If I never learn any of the proper name kanji I won't care, but not knowing regular kanji will always hurt for as long as there are gaping holes in my knowledge thereof.

Anyone else here remember that guy who was learning Japanese to play Bravely Default? Did he ever end up making it?

Why is it easier to find how how things are pronounced by searching for their translation than their kanji? Like it takes too long to come up with the right kanji.

I often notice it in my mature cards that have 3m+ interval. Not exactly forgetting meanings but rather readings (for example, I had been reading 辛抱 as しんぽう before I came across the word yesterday in my reviews. It's a simple word that I see very often but there is no way I'll be checking all the readings of words I read), some of the meanings and the meanings tend to be vaguer overall. Anki is our savior.

Literally do nothing different. You will learn it in time properly; get the the point where you can read. In the mean time keep using the spaced repetition that anki gives you to keep drilling 遠い until it stops popping up as much.

Hey dude, feel like maintaining a neocities site?

The Japanese restaurant that my co-workers like to go to is staffed by Vietnamese and Chinese workers, but they act like they're Japanese. When a customer walks into the store, they're trained to yell いらっしゃいませ, and it sounds completely wrong. Even my average joe boss, when he came with us, did a double-take when he heard it. Just hearing them makes me feel like I'm going to die from second-hand embarrassment.

Sorry, but I'd have to decline, for several reasons. Biggest concern is associating myself in any way with the CoR, given that I have the misfortune of being an EUSSR citizen. So much as linking to copyrighted material is enough to land me a multiple year prison sentence, and when you account for just how much copyrighted shit is in the CoR I would probably never see the light of day again. There are also several copyrighted things linked in the resources guide and main guide so taking ownership even of just those pages is out of the question for me.

Someone who lives in a free country and not under the thumb of a foreign, unelected, bureaucratic regime will have to take it over instead.

Other reasons for declining would include that someone with my relatively mediocre level of Japanese ability has no business dictating what should and shouldn't be included in the guide. Also, I tend to get really autistic over this sort of thing and would probably waste all my time tweaking stuff that nobody cares about in order to appease my assburgers instead of actually spending my time learning Japanese.

There's this example sentence:

>His weakness is that he lacks stamina.
Does ところです emphasize he's currently lacking stamina?

I now kind of understand why Japanese need kanji. I'm struggling with vocab cards that doesn't use them.
I can read them perfectly, is just that I keep forgetting their meaning, while I associate the Kanji with the meaning of the vocab.

Maybe the fact that I'm ESL is holding me back somehow?

>>18505163
>emphasize

I went to a restaurant like that in Chicago too, the whole staff were Latinos and hipsters and they all pronounced it like fucking Texans it was driving me nuts. And I know the owners were Japanese and were making them say it but god what a dumb idea. And I don't know who this Matt guy is but the key to pronunciation is literally just listening a lot and listening to what you say and how you say it and trying to get your syllables and tones to match. https://youtu.be/5OC1D_ZNej4

the only good japanese restaurants are the ones where the staff yell へいらっしゃいっ

I'm debating quitting.

Even though I've only been studying for six months, substantially improving at Japanese is really time consuming. As a NEET just out of college, I need to get a job, I should volunteer, do all sorts of stuff. I don't plan on moving to Japan, either.

Well, MNN has LOTS of exercises and the audio recordings for almost each of them + vocabulary, which helps a lot, plus it doesn't annoy me with Hepburn, kana and kanji are used from day one. I haven't found a better textbook yet. Besides jumping between textbooks is difficult for a total newfag.

Exercises are designed to waste your time. What you need is something that will help you get into reading/listening.
I'm not sure how far minna no nihongo has taken you so I would skim through Tae Kim real quick in case you're missing any super basic stuff, and then see if you can't jump into reading actual Japanese or picking it up from anime. Even subbed anime is fine if you are making sure to take in the Japanese. Just look up stuff you don't know.

At least conjugation exercises are important so you drill in the difference between かった and かいた, etc.

>>18507094
No they aren't.

>>18507094
It doesn't work like that
It only becomes natural once you hear the conjugations a lot

>>18506711
its ok thats the path most people should prolly choose imo
no matter how much intellectual knowledge you gain there will always be a large amount of instinctual knowledge you will never gain on your journey to become one with nihongo

I haven't read much of Mareni and I don't his works but they aren't bad. Rail-soft VNs is just something that deserves attention because it's very unusal prose for VNs. However, I don't recommend to read them if you can't do it without looking up words often because his writing is lengthy.

Concepts are hard as fuck to remember though, and often I either remember the reading or the meaning, but not always both
Is that just the way it is?

Pretty fun. Yuzusoft does mostly vanilla moe games, but they have decent writing for the genre and likable characters.

>>18508511
Thanks, I will probably give it a try.

Why do people sometimes use らしい when talking about things that they have no reason to doubt? For example, I was listening to the podcast, 贔屓贔屓, and they were talking about a new movie coming out soon about Ryuichi Sakamoto. Kimura said 坂本龍一のドキュメンタリー映画が公開されています, and Sakota appended to the end of her statement by saying らしいんですよ, to which Kimura said はい、知らなかった.
What's the nuance here? Is he just implying that she recently found out about it? I've noticed this before but I don't know why it's used like that.

>>18508718
らしい is not about doubt, it's about the nature of the supposition.

>>18508511
how was that recent Yuzu game? The one with the sword and all the sword maidens?

Why does 老若男女 sound so ridiculous? How can they say it with a straight face?

I can't understand their dialogue but they sound like they have a cute and amiable dynamic

>>18506524
Matt's impact.

>>18508738
I understand that (admittedly my wording was poor there), but you didn't answer my question. らしい means "seemingly," right? Then why do people say "It seems like Sakamoto Ryuichi's new documentary is open to the public" instead of just saying "Sakamoto Ryuichi's new documentary is open to the public" ?

>>18509051
It's a really fantastic podcast, I highly recommend it once you become able to understand a decent portion of what they're saying.

You see an old, but completely trustworthy, news article from 2015 about parks opening in 2016.

>It seems like they opened a couple parks.

You go to the parks. Only one of them got opened, the others are stuck in zoning law hell.

Does that help?

I could go on about らしい for several paragraphs, but it's not really worth it. You're trying to figure it out like it's formulaic, and it might help, but what about the several thousand other assorted grammar points you have to learn? It would take years to learn how they're used. Just get a good picture of what things mean and then focus all your effort on reading a lot.

Is there any sort of logic behind the 70 fucking meanings that 掛かる has or am I just supposed to memorize them all?

>am I just supposed to memorize them all
That would be dumb indeed. Memorize them as expressions as you meed them, like 腰をかける.

>>18509746
>as you meed them
what did he mean by this

>>18509777
It's a combination of meet and need. I thought it was obvious.

>>18509782
Thanks anon. Thanon.

why learn 70 meanings when you can learn 1 universal feeling

is there a way to generate a list of known + mature words in anki

>>18510392
copy your deck, browse/sort by interval, delete new words, export deck as text file

What's your rep/hour?

>>18510414
520 per hour.

>>18510414
zero

>>18510414
Was something like 100 reps per hour before I dropped Anki because it was making me tired and I didn't see how I could go faster because I developed a lasting, day-in-day-out headache from just that. I just read things now and google the kanji I can't read. I have more trouble with grammar anyway.

>>18510414
Do people actually spend this much time on anki on a daily basis?

>>18510414
i've gotten about 680 in 38 minutes the past 4 days in a row
either i'm super consistent or the thing is messed up

>>18510637
People who don't adjust the starting ease, yeah. Making the card appear more often in the early days means you spend less time on that card later on because it's simply more ingrained. But most people leave the default starting ease and get fucked over for it, especially since the guide barely mentions how important this Anki setting really is in the long term.

>>18510685
redpill me what do i change

>>18510754
http://www.jonkenpo.net/analytics-anki-starting-ease/

This guy here screwed around with the setting to figure out what was what, and based on what he says, I reckon anywhere from 175%-200% to be optimal when weighing time spent against cards retained. Default has it at 250%, which is way too high. So I guess you can start setting it at 175%, and gradually raise it to 200% as you get more comfortable.

>>18510782
Could it be that your average ease is a good indicator of what the default ease should be provided you've been doing Anki for awhile? I've been doing Anki for over two years now without ever messing with the default settings besides removing the limit to reviews and my average ease is 192%.

>>18510868
If so, I wasn't aware of it. But maybe. It's either that, or the place you downloaded Anki from was from a guy that had tweeked the setting before uploading it, making his changes your ''defaults'' when you downloaded it. Or maybe you changed it accidentally or simply don't remember doing so.
