> そう言ってもらえてるような気がした

I'm not used to seeing this pattern used like in the sentence above ～て～ても　
Is the first て simply being used as the conjunction "and" in the example above?
So it reads as "Sumi's grip was no longer that of a couples' AND I had a feeling she was saying that we don't need to be family to share (this feeling)"
That reads very awkwardly so I suspect it's incorrect.

You guys told me learning japanese would be fun, it was not.

nothing is fun when you are dead inside

>>21677040
Can't help you out with getting a better brain.

I guess you need the type of personality who enjoys learning things in the first place.

ouch

>>21677028

Big boy question here, how would you translate the rant?

Not at all cause I aint getting paid for this.

learning is all we do as humans other than sleep, eat, shit, and fuck. most of that learning happens subconsciously. if you don’t believe you’ve learned a shit ton of stuff that you never consciously chose to, you’re very naive.

Is there any news site you guys recommend? NHK is very low energy lol and I'm wondering if there's anything different. Maybe more western-like is what I'm looking for.

>>21677248
who the fuck wants to read japanese news of all things.

>>21677248
yahoo news allows comments on the articles which is good to read and takes articles from all over kind of like the us website.
as far as newspapers theyre all kind of garbage just like the us.
some are liberal leaning some are conservative leaning you can go with whatever flavor trash you want to eat.

I watch TV if I have spare time and don't want to watch shows or something. It gives you a nice variety of different topics I wouldn't usually seek out.

>>21677287
Yeah I usually have it on my tv while I'm making food.

>>21677292
I mean Japanese TV through online restreams. The only thing that sucks is due to time difference I will mostly catch either late night or early morning TV.

>>21677299
Depending on when I put it on I'm either 1 day or 2 behind. Unfortunately I can't load the official NHK video stream so I have to do with youtube uploads.

RTK works by linking each kanji with a unique keyword so your brain learns to distinguish them individually and stop treating them as "blurry scribble that probably reads like XX... probably".

Ok. (I'll get to my point in a while, just hear me out first.)

I'm not a beginner, I did Heisig when I first started learning japa but I burned out eventually. After that I just moved on.

That said, I do like how "memorable" some kanji still are, the ones I do remember from way back. I just can't seem to forget those and I instantly recognize them. I also NEVER confuse those with anything else, contrary to some others.
Therefore I decided to do Heisig again, which should be a lot easier now (mainly cause I'm no longer an idiot with "1 10" anki steps and 0% lapse modifier).

>get to japanese judas-tree
>google it out of curiosity (and to get a mental picture of wtf that was)
>it's how you write Katsura's name
>probably won't forget it from now on

So, here's where I'm getting at:
What if I changed "japanese judas-tree" to a picture of Katsura (or just his name or something)?
The need for me to reproduce the kanji from memory would still be there.
Why not change 憂 to a picture of Tanaka Aiko?
Why not change 妙 to a picture of Araki?
Why not change 漢 into MOTHERFUCKING KAMINA!

Thoughts?

is that even real

I never changed my anki settings and it'll probably kick my ass one day

>>21677459
just do mnemonics that you are likely to remember
if that's character names, that works, too, it's not quantum physics

the only anki setting you need to change is the one that shows when the next card will show up because that makes you grade stuff differently than you should instead of going with the gut feeling of hard normal easy

>using aniki.
Never gonna make it

>>21677481
I'm still doing mnemonics, but instead of "japanese judas-tree", the trigger word would be Katsura.

yeah that's a good point. i reinstalled anki recently but i haven't put anything in it cuz i don't even know what you should do with it anymore

Is there any place where I can look up kansaiben? J-J is fine for me

>>21677509

How do you get over japanese text fear? Just opening this wiki link triggered my fight or flight response. (Worst part is, I can read it)

learn japanese

>>21677532
The fuck is Japanese text fear?

>>21677532
push through it
Also, start with shorter texts. Either take something with short passages (twitter / manga) or divide your text in shorter parts. Like instead of thinking: "I have to read all of this ..." you'll go like: "Okay, I'll read this sentence / paragraph." Then just think: "Hmm, okay, I read that. Now I can read the next paragraph."
Worked for me

should I read 開く as ひらく or あく ?

something you learn after watching lots of anime. basically you just gotta feel it like the japanese do cuz in english we just use the word open.

>>21677594
Not sure, I always read it as あくfirst

>>21677594
u dont focus on the 開く u focus on the thing thats ひらくing or あくing to find ur answer

NOOB FUCKer

What's your reason for not rapping in nihongo and having bitches like this?

The dude's retarded. There's thousands of free screenshot applications for every fucking browser, and Vivaldi has build in one.

nice my friend just killed himself last night

im encountering words that have no english tl and have to look them up in jp-jp dictionaries, feels weird
also sorry to hear about your friend dude

it's not weird it's actually pretty obvious when you think about it

>>21678094
damn

>>21678094
How did he do it?

>>21678094
good
life is worthless

>>21678157
Jumped under a train. He used to be one that kept me the happiest during school. Never really expected him to kys, but I knew that he wasn't the same anymore lately

>>21678094
your friend was called vicente?

>>21678177
what race was he?

>>21678183
He wasn't some dirty spic, but a pride mongol

>>21678191
a guy from my uni killed himself last night too so i was just wondering lmao

well killing yourself is a rising trend again

How many people from here have killed themselves because they couldn't take being a dirty dekinai any more?

i always thought killing oneself is so stupid
i will never do it
i don't have the courage either

>>21678228
Honestly even 1 would be believable

fuck this fucking language

I can feel that one

tfw u read it suimen before you heard someone say minamo in eroge

i read it as mizutsura

>>21678266
but suimen is also correct, i just saw minamo watching anime and got really fucking angry when i looked it up

>>21678271
ok good because id probably just read it suimen anyways next time i saw it

I tried to read manga today, but it's literally impossible

is there a way to get yomichan to just add the sentence and not all this other shit when mining from daiweeb? {sentence} and {cloze-suffix} both always copy the other text from the player/webpage

>>21678353
i think you can limit the max # of characters it includes. but it doesn't matter as it takes 1 second to delete the extra stuff.

>>21678052
of course he did he just stopped consuming japanese for months and then just picked up where he left off lol

>>21678356
>i think you can limit the max # of characters it includes
the length of the sentences vary though so I don't think that'd work. It's pretty aids to have to delete it since i make like 40-50 cards per day, even doing it as i go along. dont have a choice it seems though

It's growing more powerful

>>21678372
probably the only people who want to read that old s*t already know how to read it

>>21678421
what's with the filename? it took you less than 10 minutes, most people wish they only spent that much on anki

why do some of you fuckers worry so much about getting obscure readings right when you can't even tell the difference between break and brake

who are you talking about?

nobody is worrying so much. you are strawmanning

>>21678052
Yomichan works instantly, it's just that you have to move the cursor for it to start doing shit. I don't know why they decided to make it work like that, but they did.

what do your anki cards look like post a screenshot

>>21678513

lame desu senpai

>>21678530
assuming youre the 80% retention guy how do you rate whether you got these cards right or wrong?
like for example i bet you dont require yourself to recite every english equivalent thats on the back there. so when do you decide to pass or fail?

>>21676677
hey look manga isnt reading guy read axanael lol
>>21677414
better than havin no guidance to correct u when u read を as woah or 二年A組 as ni tosi ee kumi
>>21677532
what the whole thing ?
that doesnt have anything to do with nihongo i wouldnt read that en eigo either
>>21677659
>>21677768
sometimes its hard to believe this guy is for real

>>21678372
>cursive moonrunes
Just fuck my shit up.

>>21678539
for this word i'd just learn the first 3 and if i get the reading + two of them when i do the reviews i pass it. realistically when i see it again in context that's usually enough but if it the word has multiple meanings that aren't near-synonymous i'll learn 2 for each meaning. i dont really care too much about anki though and im trash at japanese so keep that in mind.

>>21678553
ok i think you should pass it if you just get one meaning right desu. it will reduce the amount of review you have to do and lower your stress. remembering multiple meanings for one card is too much work for your brain and like you said it gets sorted out in context.

>>21678558
it almost never happens that i miss just the reading. it's usually the other way around for me, readings are very easy to remember

inb4 shoulda done rtk

Is there a textbook in japanese that teaches you how to write

yeah look on amazon

>>21678602
cringe

>>21678602
there are a thousand books to teach native adults how to improve their handwriting
i dont think theres anything for someone doesnt know even the most basic shit though dont kids just trace printouts or somethin like in the west

>>21677978
>if ur not asian u are just a huge disturbance in the kuuki everywhere u go
spoken like a true nigger

>>21678596
ok man wtf why not just test ONLY the meaning that applies to the context you saw the word in when you added it....

>>21678618
because im still able to remember the other meanings 80% of the time and i dont really care if i have to do 10 more minutes of reviews or if my retention rate goes up to 90% or whatever if i just memorize 1 meaning.

is leyline harder than axanael or about the same? trying to find another vn to read that's relatively easy, maybe a bit harder, not muramasa level though

>>21678636
its harder but ull be fine except maybe a couple short infodumps
dont get intimidated by the op and menu lol

>>21678636
can i recommend senshinkan

>>21678629
sounds like a bad idea and a quick way to burn urself out

>>21678636
>>21678642
i read that backwards lol
leyline is way easier and also boring

>>21678643
i said not muramasa level

>>21678649
senshinkan isnt muramasa level it's perfectly fine for a second or third vn

>>21678636
have you tried one of these >>21677038

>>21678505

>>21678645
idk i wasn't under the impression that it's the norm to just learn the 1 meaning or to pass cards where you dont get both the meaning and the reading, i've always done it like that. my original post was just a meme, ive never felt near burn out or gave a shit if i have a bad retention rate since anki isnt learning japanese lol

>>21678663
this is cringe

>>21678663
whats the add on that gives the extra info - reviews, lapses, interval?

>>21678629
how often do u run into a word ur familiar with used in a way u arent and it isnt completely obvious but u check ur mental dictionary to figure it out and ur glad u didnt have to take 2 seconds to type the word into a real dictionary

>>21678680
advanced browser

>>21678663
Where's the sentences?

>>21678513
they look cute

>>21678684
every time i watch/read anything pretty much and it feels good. its the small pleasures like that that let me trudge through the hell of knowing a small number of words overall
>>21678690
ty

Anki users: how do you personally define again/hard/good? For me:
>'Again' if any errors were made
>'Hard' if I got it right but was not confident
>'Good' if there were no problems
>'Easy' if it was zero-effort/obvious

>>21678696
lol i remember u

best possible way to use anki for vocab gains without hating it
1)never add anything you've only seen once 2)put only the most context fitting japanese def on the FRONT but make the font small, and the word you're studying big
3)test for the reading on the back
you will absorb like osmosis. the fact you've already seen the word multiple times in your input before adding it will prime your brain to WANT to know what it means, which means just seeing the def repeatedly will be enough to remember the meaning the next time you see it, especially if its in japanese. and after the first 1 to 3 reps you probably won't have to look at the j def at all and can just feel the meaning and go straight to testing for the reading. most 楽 and 効果的 anki usage on the planet.
so far i've remembered every single word i've repped in that deck the next time i saw it in the wild, meaning and reading. should have thought of this earlier

>>21678699
I'm not a dumbass so I installed an addon that removes the easy/hard option.

>>21678699
I don't use hard

>never add anything you've only seen once
I would've never learnt 桑原桑原 if it wasn't for me not following this (((advice)))

>>21678699
again if i was wrong
good if i was right
and i only use anki for readings

>>21678703
>never add anything you've only seen once
If a word has a top 10k frequency I add it anyway.

why not just do a sentence deck and underline the word you want to be able to read

>>21678711
i bet ur real glad u know a yojijukugo uve only seen once in ur life lol
>>21678716
depends how low ur vocab is
if u know less than like 3k words ur distracting urself from the more important ones by doin that
ur obv gonna see them all twice eventually so why be in a hurry

desu it's a good enough advice, just make sure you know somehow if you've seen it before, sometimes i post words i think are rare to my friends on discord and before i do that i check if i already posted it by searching the chat and find that shit like 陰茎海綿体, 大和撫子, 阿鼻叫喚 and see that i posted that word there already but i forgot about it cause it didn't leave that much of an impression

>>21678699
Hard if I miss a card but get pissed off cause I should have got it and don't want to click again. Good for everything else lol.

>>21678703
suspend card if you fail it more than 5 times cause card ease is fucked at 130%
set several high steps for new cards so that you don't screw card ease before it even enters long term memory

>>21678703
nigga i cant remember if i've seen a word or not before

>>21678720
maybe u should just want to be able to read the whole sentence lol
>>21678726
if ur avg ease drops below 200% u are fucked
the ease system is broken lol plz nerf

>>21678703
>definition on the front
this is fucking retarded, never post advice here again

>>21678696
What font is that?

if ur mining when u know less than 6k words ur doing something wrong

>>21678748
thank you

how are you gonna estimate your vocab if you're not mining and have the words you know in cards though? how in the hell would you know if you know 6k words?

>>21678749
u better finish core10k first

>>21678752
u do core 10k about 200-400 a day

>>21678757
no thanks

actually 200-10000 a day there's no limit

>>21678699
easy for everything but new cards and missed cards, anki is just a side tool anyway to maybe throw a couple of words u didnt encounter when reading ur way, i used to be anki drone who was anal about removing easy/hard and reducing interval modifiers and other shit and i can tell u it's not worth it

>>21678752
your active vocabulary times two = passive vocabulary

>>21678761
u need 170 iq to pass the 400 barrier

>>21678766
my active is hundreds of times smaller than my passive

>>21678770
actually u just need a lot of free time lol

>>21678699
i always press good if i remember and again if i don't. simple, no energy wasted on decision fatigue.

Where to acquire more iq?

kys and reroll as a japanese

>>21678785
don't it's not worth it

>>21678776
if ur iq is too low then past 400 new cards ur review time will exceed ur awake time after a couple weeks

every high iq nig says hurr it sucks to be high iq but if they were presented with an option to lower it probably none of them would choose to do it lol

>>21678734
if you don't remember if you've seen it then effectively you haven't seen it. or you just don't read enough
>>21678740
no its not lol and seek help for your irrational outbursts

if u say it sucks to be high iq u are not in fact high iq

agreed, wish i had high iq

j def on the front is the future
just make sure you make it small so your attention only goes there if you need it to

ur not high iq if ur not j

>>21678766
what if i don't talk in japanese?

I have Asian blood in me, therefore am I high iq and I just haven't unlocked my true potential yet

>>21678663
have you tried not forcing yourself to go monolingual

>>21678807
nah the future is no def anywhere on the card at all
dont get left behind

>>21678800
>or you just don't read enough
prolly, i only do 2 hours a day

>>21678696
unironically probably the best flashcard format here.

>>21678752
Why would anyone care how many words they "know"?

>>21678830
i implore u to take another look at >>21678826 and appreciate its efficiency

>>21678826
this one is also based for words with one reading

>>21678832
try to understand the context behind the post before you reply to it, i know you're new here so i'll let it go this time

Reminder for beginners to follow this guide and not the outdated one on the website

what a shit guide you might as well add a sleeping schedule, meditation and rtk onto there

>>21678871
it's shit

>>21678871
just replace vncore with rtk core 10k and dojg and this is good

聞く、聴く
見る、観る
木、樹
Why japan

>>21678871
I wish we had vncore when I first started using anki back in late 2016

>>21678885
i dunno about 木 and 樹 but all the other ones you posted have different nuance

it's basically the same word

>>21678513
mine after some recent tinkering

>>21678909
is that word production or is this the dictionary definition on the front reading card

>>21678885
easy shit stfu

is there a way so i dont see the intervals above the buttons?

>>21678941
how long does it take you to make each card

>>21678937

>>21678885
>>21678891
yep theres a nuance thing for the tree kanjis too
have a crack at this fun little reading here:

「木」というのは、
自然の状態で生えている一本の樹木を指します。
それと同時に、
建材や家具材などに加工されたものに対しても
「木」という漢字を使います。
それに対して「樹」という字は
生きている樹木に対してしか使われません。
つまり生きている樹木に対しては
「木」と「樹」は両方当てはまりますが、
一度切ってしまった樹木は「木」と表現され、
「樹」ではなくなるということです。

>>21678950
30 seconds

>>21678951
ty for taking the time to show my retarded ass this, didnt even occur to me to think it was in options for some reason

>>21678952
so basically its the same word but they dont write it 樹 if the tree is dead

>>21678916
the latter. the front of the card is everything except the reading

lolling @ all the beginners because I know they will become dekirus before long

>致す
never seen this in my fuckin life guess i really do need to read more

>>21678696
That legit looks great.
Can you post your card formatting?
I want to feel like a little girl while doing reps, has always been my dream.

>>21679033
i can bust deep inside u if that'll make you feel like a girl

>>21678696
why is ク blue, and what is the line above クチ?

>>21679027
nor have you talked to japs enough, よろしくお願い致します is pretty common of a first time greeting if you ever did talk to one

>>21679045
ほ…本当？

>>21679059
i doubt there are more than a hundred japs in the entire country lol, ive heard that a billion times in anime though just didnt link the two cause im low iq

>>21678871
reminder for beginners to follow this guide and not that guide
>>21678996
5% or less will make it
>>21679033
u have to find ur own way
u cant just copy someone elses formula
then ur just becoming them instead

>>21679066
well you have the internet, there's a few discord servers for a hobby you're into i bet, if you're not into zoomer phone apps to interact with japs that'd be a good place to find a few

>>21679073

I have 15 bucks to pay for a japanese translation off my game to japanese.

>>21679101
its aight ive heard better

>>21679106
there are 3 words in that picture

>>21679118
Still WIP.

八百屋
how the fuck does 800 roof=vegetable store

absolute state of rtk tards

>>21678827
that should be enough to notice if youve seen a word before or not... are you paying attention to new words for more than half a second or are you just auto-spamming them with yomichan

you can tell if someone is a beginner if they're complaining about meanings not being evident on a single glance at the kanji

>>21679135
look up 八百 in a dictionary

>>21679094
Yeah but how? Blue for highest mora and line for where the pitch is at?

>>21679135
have this to confuse your rtk atrophied brain even more八百長

>>21679135
it just do

>>21678826
nope the j-def is good to have. and helps make very strong connections between related japanese words. like
拝見 -- へりくだる -- つつしんで
just make it proportionally very small on the card so you only read it when you want to.

>>21677083
She is dissatisfied with the fact that the original title was not translated but changed to strange Japanese.
The lower part with a large number of characters is that some other cases.

But this is no different Japanese tites being different in countries other than Japan.

>>21679167
>only read it when you want to.
good enough
my main argument is flash cards are for mapping one thing to one thing so test urself on reading

learning readings is not learning japanese

>>21679195
learning readings helps u read
learning meanings helps u guess
which do u think is more beneficial towards the primary goal of read more

>>21679195
yeah it is

>>21679204
he only reads manga so everything has furigana...

>>21679204
just learn both fuckhead

do japs need to do 4 years of daily study to become fluent in english

>>21679227
the more u put on ur flash card the shittier it is
if u have to recall ur memorized definition to figure out the sentence u dont know the word
read more

readings dont actually matter in reading lol only the kanji do

>>21679235
fuck off idiot

>>21679241
what about kakikae
or if ur listening lol
>>21679242
thx for ur input

well now i know why he's got "nigger" on his name, dude's basically making a pigdin version of japanese in his mind like niggers did with english by just not learning readings

>>21679209
obviously lol i linked the source at the end

>>21679261
>like niggers did with english
you realize that's because they were actively denied education, right...

>>21679274
i never said why or how they created pidgin, i'm saying this retard is doing it by not not learning readings

isnt it weird youre calling me a dumb nigger after you have failed at reading comprehension

i never called you a nigger, you call yourself a nigger and i pointed that out i'm starting to suspect you're one given your reading comprehension though

I just stumbled into "まいっちまう" and have no idea what it means. Google doesn't help either.
Does it really come from 参る ? What are the most common usage of it?

dont say nigger it reflects poorly on ur character

ur all better than that

nothing special about the nigger word

niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger

"...star woods...... space school..."

it wont stop playing on repeat in my head, help

>>21679362
I see. Does make sense.

>>21679373
"no anon how is it read in japanese"

>>21679329
we really arent lol

this is heiban, I don't know why but add on made the く blue

>>21679373
>>21679385
even if you're never going to read out loud for another human being in your life you should still learn how to read the words because sub vocalization is important for poetry and prose, imagine reading pic related without knowing how those words are pronounced but only knowing their meaning

>>21679584
I love reading japancirclejerk and japanlife, makes me feel good about myself even though im a fuckin loser lol

which anime made u cry the most

i also like the words crimson emerald and azure a lot

imagine how good at japanese you could be if u didnt waste ur time shitposting on djt

You guys suck, learn from me. I'm doing my Anki reps on my other screen, while also touching my dick and reading /djt/ on the other.

is there any reason why having both japanese and english subs on wouldnt be better than just english

>>21679781
(Anata)

translators don't give a fuck about staying original to the source

>>21679781
/djt/ isn't reading though

>>21679791
too much on screen
jp subs keep u from havin to rely on ur ears more than eng subs
unless ur so bad at nihongo that u should just read more anyway

>>21679781
multitasking is a myth

doko the fuck do u find jdramas online

nyaa has some torrents but nobody's seeding any of them

>>21679841
pretty funny the only thing women are supposed to be better at doesnt even exist lol

it’s so cool to read inspiring, heartwarming stuff in japanese

Summer season looking absolutely fucking dreadful

you ever just skip the eroge part of eroge? ive been reading this one for a while now and its like the whole main plot is finished and then only after that it turned into a dating sim and im about to just close it and go onto the next game it feels so over already

>>21679888
i dont read eroge but nice trips

>>21679888
yep

>>21679869
u dont want to watch elf buddy cop ?

i did it bros i googled my first ever question in japanese and understood the answer!

https://hinative.com/ja/questions/502437

>>21679912
yeah desu i just read it cuz someone said it was easy and it was. there were some cool parts i liked about it but im excited to move onto the next thing now

Do you guys ever use TTS to generate audio for your sentence cards?
I found this cool TTS software that doesn’t sound like complete ass, and it also lets you pick from a number of emotional inflections (normal, happy, mad, sad)

I think that one of the problems I've run into while reading is that I'll read and read and read for hours, relying only on my gaijin brain to imagine what it should actually sound like in terms of tone, pitch accent, inflection, etc... I figure that even a halfway-decent TTS will sound more naturally Japanese than most gaijin attempts to sound it out without ever hearing it before

>>21679682
back to /a/

>>21679939
there was a good discussion on it a few threads back figured id see if anyone else would throw their hat in the ring

>>21679933

What have you guys been using for listening practice lately? People on here talk about reading all the time like it's all they do, but reading is by far the easiest to stay ahead in out of speaking, reading, writing, and listening. What do you do to get better at those other skills?

>>21679954
clannad is for entitled brats who have no understanding of the real world

only literal children could take anything about it seriously lmfao.

Has anybody got any good video/music playlists they'd like to share?

>>21679993
listen

>>21679993
lots of anime

>>21679993
tried listening to this:
>>21678336
that didn't work out. i just read for an hour and mined some words and now i'm going to a podcast in the background. but i'm growing increasingly worried as none of this is improving my ability to understand spoken japanese.

>>21679933
what software? does it get pitch accent right?

https://youtu.be/KdHhyQaPOHo
Watch this for listening practice

>>21680016
i think what helps my listening ability stay up to speed with my reading ability is watching shit tons of Japanese media with Japanese subtitles.
It's good practice for both listening and reading imo. There was a time a few months ago where I relied super heavily on the subs to understand everything, but I'm getting to the point where I don't need them as much. There are a few sites that have a bunch of anime and dramas that are J-subbed.

I feel stupid I didn't know that 「パリングルス」 was referring to pic related until the I was towards the end of the route

>>21679993
Listening: Any Youtube video, film, radio show, etc. I suggest you to add some kana to all of your searches to filter out any Chinese results.
Speaking: Does talking to myself count? If not, then I never practice that shit. I don't plan on ever living or working in Japan.
Writing: I sometimes write a few sentences in my journal in Japanese, but nothing beyond that.

>>21680016
if u could understand 99% of what ur listening to if it was in text then u need to listen more
otherwise ur grammar and vocab is too shit and if u have more fun reading then just read more

The last windows update fucked my laptop. I should have just tried a restore point but I opted for a "system reset" which it turns out deletes all your apps and app data (despite the description saying it doesn't). Is there anywhere I can look for Anki profile data where the system might not have purged it or am I completely fucked?

>>21680067
lmao, check the ankiweb if you have ever synced it

Should I practice listening to more Japanese music if I can't understand the lyrics to something like this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYLWe09cOjc ?

>>21680067
Should have used GNU/Linux instead

>>21680083
nigga just listen to music if you feel like it wtf

>>21680084
you can disable auto updates on windows 10 though

>>21680091
I thought you were being serious with those "how much do u understand?" challenges.

I've been trying to figure this shit out for hours. Can somebody explain the actual difference between 託す and 任す? 委任, 委託, 信託, 信任 etc. Any Japanese explanations I have found have been way too complicated.

if you can't read the explanations in japanese on the difference of those then don't worry it's too early for you to start worrying about nuance of words

>>21680076
Thankfully I'm a 1337 haxx0r and I found the old backup/data files tucked away in a dark corner of wangblows. If this happens to any other unfortunate anon you can find your anki profiles at:

C:\\Windows.old\Users\(your user name)\Appdata\Roaming

>>21680135
I mean complicated to the point where my native friends couldn't even explain the difference. Apparently Japanese natives get these confused as well.

learning new words, I went from having 72% one day on anki to having 38% correct on the next day
is this what a brain tumor feels like

>>21680083
I think you would understand more by listening to any Japanese... I can somehow parse most of it and I've never listened to much Japanese music in particular. I suck at understanding music lyrics even in my own language so I'm always surprised I can understand Japanese lyrics at all

>>21680083
u should prob read and listen more and watch music get easier automatically
>>21680119
sometimes lol

>>21680067
only applies to windows apps, if you had the regular anki and not "anki universal" you fucked up

>>21680170
>>21680156
I can understand stuff like this Yukkuri video (>>21680032) just fine, but I feel like my listening comprehension skill tunes out whenever I listen to music.

>>21680198
then probably if its somethin u want
lots of english natives tune out english lyrics cuz they never cared lol so theres def a part of it thats a different skill

>>21680153
You are wasting time and should probably work on your sentence mining method. Are you pulling the sentences from boring material? Are they not i+1 sentences? Are you doing like 50+ sentences a day?
I think you'd see a far better time to reward ratio if you focused on mining a few (8-15) sentences per day from material that you're really interested in. Maybe even include pictures and audio from the relevant source context in your anki notes so that you get as much context as possible during your reviews. The point of sentence mining is to use shortcuts to build mental associations between language and context, not burn yourself out. If you don't have at least some fun making custom weebshit decks in Anki then change what you're doing until it is.

I make sure there's at least 5 new words a sentence so I have 1/5 the reviews

>>21680198
I can understand that Yukkuri video if I'm reading along, but I really have to pay attention to understand the speech alone. I would eventually like to become able to understand these Yukkuri voices without effort, though.

>>21680153
just keep reviewing them, they'll stick eventually. shouldn't take long

yeah i leave the back of my cards blank

>>21680295
what subs

>>21679769
no, seriously, it really isn't that hard. you just need time to get used to the writing style which really doesn't take that long at all, i got used to it in less than a week of reading. yes i still struggled with the chunni scenes, but by the end of it they were far more comprehensible than at the beginning. besides, you won't get better at chunni scenes unless you actually read them so why put it off? the whole vn difficulty stuff is a gigantic meme. though, the fact that i really wanted to read senshinkan may have been a contributing factor

>subs

>>21680295

>>21680341
idk dude i read senshinkan not kkk but feel free to try.

if u want to read somethin u should just fuckin open it up and give it 30 minutes of ur time
there are 4 outcomes
u understand enough to be compelled to continue readin
u dont understand enough to be compelled to continue readin
u understand enough to decide its shit
u dont understand it so u think its shit

>>21680369
>u dont understand it so u think its shit
this is me

>>21680341
if you give up on kkk then do try senshinkan. it's a very fun vn with a bunch of shinzaverse references and i imagine it being a lot easier than kkk
