Today's the day guys. Regardless of you how you feel about RTK can you at least give me credit for sticking through it till the end. Shit broke my soul near the end and the only reason I kept going is thanks to the habit I created waking up 7AM everyday and getting it done. I wasn't human until i saw numbers ending with 0,25,50,75,00 before I ate breakfast and 00/00 anki cards before dinner. 3rd milestone is now complete(after today). a.. am I gonna make it anons?

>>19767076
Time to start learning Japanese. 頑張れ

>>19767076
Good to see I wasn't the only one. I did start mining while still doing RTK though, I wouldn't stand just doing kanji all the fucking time.

>>19767076
How long did it take you? How many hours daily? Did you do anything else in Japanese or only RTK?

>Shit broke my soul near the end
RTK retards, everyone. Is there a bigger pleb filter to learning this language than falling for the RTK meme?

its ok he can still learn japanese hes no better or worse off for that hell just remember the kanji easier sometimes should he begin learning japanese

>>19767076
Doing RTK past ~500 characters is pretty much pointless, but congrats I guess

>>19767262
AJ*TT shitters are even worse

How many hours should it take to finish an LN volume at an average page? If I can comfortably read a volume of manga in a day, will I be able to read an LN volume in a day?

me on the right

>>19767305
Try and find out
Spoiler: no

>>19767310
remember when men used to be men and not homos

>>19767305

Can I go into spice and wolf ln if I've done the kyoiku kanji and 2k?

>>19767373
idk

what made you start learning japanese?

i wanted to understand urusei yatura on more than just the surface level

>>19767393

>>19767393
waiting for translations garbage ones at that is for chumps

>>19767393
I wanted to be able to read this letter.

>>19767393
Tons of stuff that I wanted to read and play that was untranslated and was probably never getting translated.

>>19767393
I needed something to fill the emptiness in my life and my soul. On the bright side, it worked.

>>19767393
I learnt Japanese from 10000 hours of anime so I never really started

As for me, it was this scene that made me realize how retarded I am for reading subs and I downloaded anki the very same evening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oaYvQg9MCY

>>19767326
If it only takes 2 hours, why would finishing one in a day be unrealistic?

>>19767436
much trigger thanks d u d e

>>19767393
I can't rewatch shows for some reason so I figured if I learned Japanese I could see my favorites from a fresh perspective so it would kinda be like watching them for the first time again

I'm finally comfortable enough with the kana to start the 2K deck, once I know some basic words I'll read on grammar. Should I be focusing on the individual words, they're meaning and pronunciation or should I also being paying attention to these impossible examples which make no sense to me at this point?

>>19767441
Because 2 hours is a normal speed, but if he specifically mentions being able to "comfortably" finish a volume of manga in a single day, he probably can't read at a normal speed yet.

>>19767367
You dont?

>>19767451
you should be frankly eating shit

>>19767367
let the girls fuck whoever they want everyone needs to fuck its natural and feels great

>>19767413
First time seeing this

>>19767451
Just ignore the sentences for now ye

Laughed if I'm honest

don't do frequency lists start dating manga immediately as soon as you know kana

Having a lot of sexual relations hinders your ability to have deep emotional connections.

>>19767489
this just depends on how much love you got to give

>it's "jamal inadvertently reveals he is a literal irl cuckold" episode

>>19767098
I've thought about doing this but I realized every time I tried to do too many new things at once I always fail. It could be a week or 2 weeks in, I will always end up crashing when difficulty spikes, giving up on 1 or both tasks. Regardless of how much free time I had, I stuck to just doing rtk less I risk overwhelming myself, like so many other times, and burning to the ground.
>>19767228
85 days today. 3-3.5 hours studying and anki combined. Just RTK. Laugh if you must but the deed is done.

>>19767076
Congrats. I know that feel. Starting in early June I set my alarm clock and woke up every single day at 8am to do my reps and to do RTK. I only woke up later than 8am once or twice. It was the one thing in life that I gave enough of a shit about to bother doing that and I finished it. I still keep to that schedule and I've been reading recently and it's tough but it is way more enjoyable than RTK. I'm glad RTK is over. Luckily after a week my reviews plummeted and tomorrow they'll be less than 100. So look forward to that.

im not into that shit bitches love me

>>19767505
It's actually called 寝取られ, /v/-kun.

At least skim through TK's essential grammar sections before picking up a vocab deck.

Let's be honest no one here is capable of having "deep emotional connections" with anyone other than 2d girls. If you do get out.

We made it brother. I feel like i've been edging for the last month holding back on my desire to read for so long and boy am I backed up. I've never realized how amazing habits are and how little willpower you need after a certain point. Now it's time for the fun part. Crashing headfirst and picking myself up.

i guess it's dark and gotou san thinks to use his cellphone for light but it's out of battery but the girl has a spirit that can light up so its ok

that's a nice bait because even the text at the top tells you to look at something that happened earlier probably to understand context

we all have spirits we can light up dude

i bet my tamashii shines brighter than yours

>>19767773
congrats that's literally exactly what happened you can learn japanese

>>19767626
That's actually a good idea if you manage to understand everything prefectly by the final viewing without getting deathly bored in the process.

nope they don't just make note of anything you don't know yet so it's easier to remember later

>>19767959
Can we put "feel, don't think" in the guide so people stop asking these stupid questions

you can't learn pitch accent if your only reading

you cant read japanese on your own if you didnt watch 10000 hours of anime subbed in your native language

I only listen and now I can't learn kanji

>>19767996
>>19767997

I used to only read but now i almost only watch raws because Matt got me stressing out about pitch accent and permanent listening comprehension skill cap loss

Thankfully my native language has pitch accent so it's much easier than for americans but it's not 100% automatic

>>19768013
?

>Pitch-accent languages tend to fall into two categories: those with a single pitch-contour (for example, high, or high-low) on the accented syllable, such as Tokyo Japanese, Western Basque, or Persian; and those in which more than one pitch-contour can occur on the accented syllable, such as Punjabi, Swedish, or Serbo-Croatian. In this latter kind, the accented syllable is also often stressed.
Can someone explain this shit? My native is Serbian. Does this mean I'm predisposed to be shit at Japanese?

>>19768017
>because Matt got me stressing out about pitch accent and permanent listening comprehension skill cap loss
It's just one of his theories though

>>19768017
lmao what is this shit just learn japanese

>>19768027
quite contrary, you have a great advantage over languages that have no pitch accent at all

so i know kanji i know pitch accent and i know japanese

how do i stop having dead eyes

>>19768021
listening to too much anime permanently cripples your ability to read kanji

>>19768027
can someone explain pitch accent for dummies? I speak Spanish, English, French, Occitan and Italian and never heard of that shit

pic for reference

>>19767455
Not sure what implications you're drawing from "comfortably", but comfortably = without trouble. Just by reading when I feel like it and for however long I feel like it, I can finish a volume of manga without having any particular intention/aim of doing so (e.g. While killing time waiting for the latest Overlord episode to go up today, I ended up finishing a volume of Watamote in between sessions of lurking DJT).

In terms of manga, I read at a pace of 1 min per page (not sure how good/bad that is; for a native or someone fluent it would probably be considered pretty slow, but when I said "average" I meant "average among learners").

That said, thinking about it more my reading speed would probably take quite a hit with an LN. Sentences would be longer and there would probably be a lot more unknown words for me to look up, both of which would slow me down in a mechanical sense, and then the reduced comprehension of the text resulting from both those things would slow me down even further.

pic is not pic

>listen to the radio a lot
>learn how to say words
>say the words correctly

wow pitch accent so scary so hard

>>19768047
thats not true at all because you know all the words just put the kanji to them now and dont worry about it : )

わたしはゲイ⤴

pitch accent in Japanese is only important in fringe cases now Chinese that's where the fun begins

>>19768054
Japanese pitch accent is like English stress but almost never affects the literal quality of vowels, and it's natural/normal for it to happen on different parts of the word, and the downstep from the accent is emphasized instead of the upstep to it.

why is this thread full of retards who think that if you do the wrong thing it'll render your brain incapable of doing something wrong for life

you could spend a year doing nothing but trying to divine the nature of japanese by reading animelyrics.com and there would be no long-term damage to your ability to read kanji or produce japanese if you later follow it up with actual learning

ill tell you what i tell the kids on the chinese learning equivalent of djt

dont be a pitch bitch

>>19768086
>why are people on 4chan insecure and unsure of themselves
how can you be so stupid

>>19768064
people who speak languages without pitch accents don't necessarily notice the pitch accents in japanese.

>>19768089
haha lmao XD

>>19768086
well thats true but but if you do rtk you will actually damage your memory because you associate japanese kanji with english

>>19767393
kanji look cool

>>19768098
only if you practice kanji --> keyword which you're not supposed to do in the first place

>>19768095
yes, for example in dekinai you put the accent in ki

>>19768058
I just mean that needing (not taking) more than a day to finish a manga volume is basically impossible except for people who are at the stage where they're basically just trying and failing to put puzzle pieces together, so the fact that you can comfortably do it in a day doesn't mean anything.
>I read at a pace of 1 min per page
This does give a better idea but there's still the fact that eventually you reach a point where the visual aspect of manga bottlenecks your speed, so really the only thing you can do is try reading a LN volume and see how you fare.

>>19768093
i don't think it's even people being insecure and unsure of themselves. it's some sort of weird "doctors hate him!!!" thing where people have convinced themselves that there's some magic ritual for learning japanese that everyone has to do or they'll never make it.

*posts that vid of that rtk kid where it starts out by him just flinging the book onto the desk*

>>19768072
you are a whale?

>>19768098
literally every word you learn in japanese you will first learn to associate with english

after you leave your crutches and start dealing with the language on a daily basis it goes away

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcfdCeaKFMg#t=61

>>19768112
No, it's more so to do with the fact that Japanese seems incredibly overwhelming when you just start and you are unsure of both whether the method you have chosen is correct and if it isn't, will that hinder your progress in the long term. It's not even that unreasonable considering the amount of retarded approaches people take to this shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqT_mLiTq7A
After only a year and a half of RTK this guy is fully functional in Japanese society. What's your excuse?

>>19768120
its ok to learn the japanese word that way like how you would watching 10000 hours of subbed anime but encoding the kanji data into english data and having to encode and decode back and forth is permanently damaging to your ability to basically do anything with kanji in a japanese context

>>19768098
>you associate japanese kanji with english
As opposed to learning vocab where you associate it with....?

https://youtu.be/fpCTZQFJcjc?t=9861

Watch this video at the time stamp - you WILL fuck up your listening ability and your accent if you read too much relative to your active listening. This guy read all day and would active listen for an hour every day at most. A year into his listening and he can understand most content he listens to but he always feels like he's missing details in the pitch accent which will make it incredibly difficult for him to acquire pitch accent.

oh my fucking god someone's japanese production is terrible a whole YEAR into learning japanese. ladies and gentlemen, take notes: this is someone who's never going to make it

he's just quoting that post from matt though and it's just a theory on his part, how the fuck would he know for sure

>I just mean that needing (not taking) more than a day to finish a manga volume is basically impossible except for people who are at the stage where they're basically just trying and failing to put puzzle pieces together, so the fact that you can comfortably do it in a day doesn't mean anything.
Ah, so that's what you meant. Sorry, my only experience reading manga prior to earlier this week was when I first started reading about a year ago. Back then it took me somewhere in the region of 30 mins to an hour to get through a single chapter (while understanding next to nothing). Based on that experience, finishing a volume in a day without trying seemed like a decent accomplishment, but I guess it's actually not after all (unless you're a total beginner).

>so really the only thing you can do is try reading a LN volume and see how you fare.
Alright. Truth be told, I'm wanting to read Overlord since I'm getting too impatient with the weekly wait for each new episode from the anime, and I was asking to try to get an idea of how long it would take me to catch up with the anime which is now at volume 7 I think. I was wondering if I had any chance of pulling it off before next week's episode aired.

post more mount stupid videos

truly the insights of people who have been learning japanese for a WHOLE YEAR are the linguistic titans that everybody learning japanese should be learning from

How long will it take for me to acquire the skill to read hentai without a dictionary if I only practice by reading it with a dictionary

Definitely possible if you're a NEET, otherwise it depends on your reading speed.

18 months should be enough for anything. Source: I learned Japanese from eromanga and have the highest J-CAT score in DJT.

What's the meaning of "カマかける"?
Usually I can figure it out via jp yahoo answers and weblio but I'm at a loss this time.

>>19768198
hentai, or generic text

>>19768200
Hentai

>>19768200
whats the difference

>>19768210
hentai mostly consists of dialogue, which is generally easier to understand than the text you would find in your average japanese book

did japanese literature just get burned?

>>19768193
鎌をかける
to trick someone (into confirming or revealing the truth)
to ask a leading question

>>19768200
what's the point of reading generic text if you just want to read hentai

>>19768219
thanks google

>>19768173
Longer than it would take you to read normal manga since the state of arousal numbs your reading ability.

what if hentai doesnt arouse you but you just read it because hentai sex makes you laugh out loud uncontrollably

あなたはゲイ？

You guys know any decent web novels?
I've been reading 本好きの下剋上 and it's cute and all, but it's so dull and uneventful.
I guess I can't complain too much because it's at its core just a slice of life with a cute loli, but still.

>>19768229
It's funny some times but not to laugh uncontrollably.

if you train yourself reading eroge then doujins will be ez right??

>>19768242
That's my problem with LNs, couldn't find anything that keeps me reading.

>>19768279
Should be, yeah. Most eroge have more elaborate vocabulary than doujinshi.

what's nukemarine's JCAT score?

>せいぜい殺さないようにな
so what is he saying her? "Try not to kill her"?

>>19768394
i think it was sub 200 someone will post the epic yt comment burn im sure

>>19768369
My problem with LNs is that I get interested in them by watching anime. Then I either have to read all the volumes where I already know what is going to happen, or skip the volumes covered in the anime, but miss all the content that was cut/changed. I don't like either option, so I don't read anything.

>>19768395
short answer, yes

>>19768400
That's what burned me out on my last try, I really wanted to know the differences between the adaptation but reading through all the stuff I watched already felt too damn dull

>>19768395
more or less but rework it for the context i dont know what that is but is that guns on her arms??? prolly means dont waste her in battle like an idiot and have her get fucked up

i've mostly practiced listening comprehension over this time (this is good because I had watched 0 RAWs before this), I might as well have a fresh start and start doing sentence mining instead of stupid single words without any context or grammar included
how do i manage myself without mining either only 3 or up to 130 cards per day? seems like I always do one or the other because my standards for what's worth it are either too hot or too cold

You can watch it to laugh at lauren's shit nihongo, but really the only reason I watch Terrace House is for the commentators to make fun of the participants and because I am in love with reina-sama. At least AS had Taishi so the season wasn't a complete loss.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbBaaRgp3kg

>>19768778
Taishi is cool but nowhere near as much of a bro as Han-san

>>19768728
there are no accurate lists, it's all based on conjecture and past tests
you never actually know what vocab will come up

wow this 13 month update guy jeez, "muhh nyaa was down" "i've tried watching some movies but they're shit"
people that only learn japanese for anime are all shit and it's hilarious when they realize they spent years learning a language they don't actually care about and start complaining about how much it sucks

>>19768799
まあ

>>19768784
I mean yeah that's obvious, but if it weren't for taishi AS would have been aids.

>>19768799
damn dude you're so cool to make fun of other people on the internet instead of studying japanese, I don't even know who you are talking about because you are such a meme-y shitposter you can't even link it but your post has all the trademarks of a forever dekinai

>>19768796
Alright, thanks for an actual reply.

>>19768799
but why would you learn anime if its not because of anime or VN? Japanese literature is shit-tier (except Mishima, Soseki and Tanizaki) and effeminate. Their society is intransigent and racist. The language is only spoken in one country. They behave like American wannabes and are egoistic and traitors. They happened to find they were pacifist after two nukes and having destroyed half of Asia.

I mean, who can anyone learn Nipponese if its not because of anime or videogames? Its just a dull country copying America

>>19768813
*how

>>19768813
why would you learn anime? because it owns

ajatt is popular with losers who only watched anime cause theyre losers but they dont actually like it
then once they make enough progress they realize all they really wanted was to be productive but didnt have the capacity for something harder than languages

>>19768799
this guy has no idea what he's talking about. anybody who learns the language for anime has a higher chance of success than those who learn it for any other reason.

>>19768813

what's in the background actually raising our chances of learning japanese is having autism

>having autism
speak for yourself. I have great social skills

i have no reason for learning japanese other than my life being empty

anyone else feel like they're wading through a thick mist completely lost because they don't know if what they're doing is the right thing because there's no magic formula for language learning and new theories pop up all the time and old ones become obsolete and you're scared you might permanently impair your ability to the learn japanese to the highest peak you otherwise could have achieved in 6 years or maybe i've already done something like that

>>19769143

Just copy what successful people did. Even if some of what they did doesn't help at all and is a complete waste of time, at least something they did must've worked otherwise they wouldn't have succeeded. So long as you do everything they did, you should be able to reach the same level that they're at.

Why is every VN just moe girl slice of life and then forced drama after you get to a certain point? I love the format for learning but god damn is the content lacking. And no I dont want to read reddit shit like steins gate or fate

No matter how dumb you are, remember that there are stupider native Japanese people that can speak the language just fine.

Thus, literally anyone can learn Japanese.

>>19769221
>and then forced drama after you get to a certain point
Yeah, I hate this shit too. Really put me off reading VNs so I've gone off them for now. Agonising a bit over what I should be reading from here on out. I tried manga but it feels way too easy so I don't think I'm going to learn much from it, but on the other hand I really have no interest in LNs/novels (never been into books; I can count the number I've read voluntarily in English on one hand).

>>19769173
Why don't you just learn nihongo

>>19769248
Depending on how late you started learning you're probably never going to be better than them.

Why don't you just buy a PlayStation Vita handheld game console? It has easy piracy and there's a Vita port for that game.

>>19769345
I dunno. I've noticed enough typos while reading VNs at least that I would never want to mine sentences from one just to be safe.

If I were to do sentence cards, I feel like the only thing I'd feel secure making cards from would be anime with official (original, non-OCR'd) subs.

>>19767076
d-did you make it?

>>19769435
I can find a vita for like 90 bucks premodded but I can't find one that's full price at retailers,privillege of living in a third country kek.
But looking at vndb,most games I would want to play on the vita have pc releases,and I would much rather play the pc release
And also playing with a vita seems really inconvenient for a brainlet like me since i would still be playing at my computer chair trying to look up kanji just without the text hooker to make it easy
If i want to only play this game I could just buy it for cheaper

I see this gesture a lot in exaggerated/joke scenes of anime, typically followed by an emphatic てやんでえ. Googling "japanese nose flick" yields no satisfying results except for one DBZ discussion site.

These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Both are acceptable, but learned is often used in both British English and American English, while learnt is much more common in British English than in American English.

We learned the news at about three o'clock.
They learnt the train times by heart.

who the fook cares, pussy?


Subvocalization plays a large role in memory encoding. Subvocalization appears to facilitate the translating of visual linguistic information into acoustic information [6][10] and vice versa.[5] For example, subvocalization occurs when one sees a word and is asked to say it (see-say condition), or when one hears a word and is asked to write it (hear-write condition), but not when one is asked to see a word and then write it (see-write condition) or hear and word and then say it (hear-say condition).[5] The see-say condition converts visual information into acoustic information. The hear-write condition converts acoustic information into visual information. The see-write and hear-say conditions, however, remain in the same sensory domain and do not require translation into a different type of code.[5]

This is also supported by findings that suggest that subvocalization is not required for the encoding of speech,[9][10] as words being heard are already in acoustic form and therefore enter short term memory directly without use of subvocal articulation.[10] Furthermore, subvocalization interference impedes reading comprehension but not listening comprehension
