>>21735427
it's fun, so I'll keep reading. although it's not very challenging, so doesn't really feel like I'm learning much. hopefully ムーミン谷の彗星 and 星の王子様 will be harder (not too hard tho lol).

>>21733444
i do too but only because i try to use the voices for listening practice. only problem with that is that i read so slow that i don't actually hear that many lines per session.

you should probably leave that until you're actually good enough to appreciate it. good writing in any language always subverts the norm and if you don't understand the norm then you're just going to fail to understand what makes it good.

What would you say is an example of Japanese writing that follows what you believe to be "the norm"?

i know what you mean in a sense and i too am "lvling up" before i "treat myself" to the good writers. but on the other hand i can also see it being a better use of time reading good authors that use the language skillfully rather than some smut manga or crappy LN.

i always recommend esls start by reading finnegans wake desu

>>21735576
good authors use the language in ways that you will have a hard time understanding though, and you will confuse yourself googling verb usages and grammar patterns that don't even exist etc. you're better off sticking to VNs, manga, LNs etc because they are mostly just written perfunctorily compared to the masters

I know at the very least that azw3->xhtml doesn't add the images automatically (xhtml is just html output inside a zip folder; this is what everything in the library is converted to). Or it didn't used to, anyway. I dunno about conversions to other formats since I've never done any.

Also, in case there's any confusion, I'm not itazuraneko guy.

>>21737043
he's been posting in this very thread my friend

>>21737084
Yeah, it is. Hence why it's fucking dumb to expect someone to purchase the book to add the images when the person who uploaded it already has them and isn't.

>>21737052
By the way, to add the images in yourself, just get hold of a copy of either the ebook or scans. If you have the ebook, you will need to do a conversion to xhtml via Calibre, which will rip the images from the ebook for you, even though it won't insert them automatically to the resulting html page.

Anyway, once you have the images you need, create a folder within the same folder you've saved the LN html page from itazuraneko to called "images" and dump the images in there. Next, either open up the ebook or look through the scans and find where each image is supposed to appear within the html file. Now open up the html page saved from itazuraneko with Notepad or something and CTRL+F for the text immediately following where the image appears within the LN.

Create a new line just above that text and insert the following:
</p><img src="images/filename_of_appropriate_image.jpeg"/></p>

>>21737070
I will agree that it's pointless of him really to share the HTML page without the images added and he should just share the ebook instead in that case, but you can always get the images you need from the scans if you can't find a download of the ebook to make your own conversion with. If you can't even find scans of what you're trying to read to get the images from, and itazuraneko guy hasn't shared the original ebook file, then you have grounds to complain, but otherwise you just come across as being entitled. It's really not much work to add in a handful of images yourself. You should be grateful that you're able to read the book at all, even if you have to expend a little effort to do so.

>>21737158
>It's really not much work to add in a handful of images yourself.
But that means every person who reads the book will have to do it. Say 50 people end up reading that book. 50 people doing a task each individually for themselves vs. 1 person doing that task, which do you think is more overall work? And if Itazura allowed people to download copies of the books like the old library did, your "just add them yourself' comment would hold a lot more weight since at least I wouldn't have to leave the site to do so. But telling me that I need to hunt down the images on another site (if they're even available at all) to get the full experience on this one is just silliness. Especially since, as you mentioned, it doesn't take much time at all if you have the images and itazura presumably has them (or had at one point, at least).

>You should be grateful that you're able to read the book at all
Me being ungrateful at the failure to maintain the standards set by the old library doesn't mean I'm not grateful for what's there already. I just wish that it wasn't half-assed. The old library got this down perfectly, there's no reason not to expect that the replacement should maintain that.

tfw the booty is tight af

alright time to do her route i guess

I must just have garbage memory with how fast I see people get through the core2/6k. It's been roughly a year since I started using anki and I'm only 1400 words in. If I add any more than 5-8 cards a day my reviews end up taking me 40-60 minutes and I have no time to actually do anything else, so I only do like 2-3 new cards per day so I can actually spend some time trying to read.

I did end up switching around 1200 words to just adding words I see (and think are useful) when reading other things though. Makes it quicker to have cards with the words already made.

Any good Japanese games to play before I die

i let my mining deck go to 0 each day and only learn whatever new words i mine on any given day. i stop mining once i reach 30 though.

incentivizes me to consume content on the days when im not feeling it and also makes remembering new words a lot easier/faster cause i heard them in context a few hours prior, especially when i add the sentence from which i mined them to the back of the card. anki is aids but little things like this make it more tolerable.

imagine thinking that because you provide a service free of charge you are free of all criticism and have no obligation to your users ever. people like you ruined the internet

>imagine being this ungrateful for FREE shit
its free shit you can get anywhere, how grateful do you expect people to be?

>>21737856
to be honest with you man if the only reason you have to learn japanese is for a tourist trip don't even bother. realistically you wont know enough japanese to have any sort of conversation at all.

>>21737878
you sound like a flashcard addict

>>21737875
not complaining, just think the argument that people should always be grateful for free shit is retarded

>>21737879
because youre monopolizing a role that somebody else would have taken anyway, either take it seriously, step aside or accept criticism

kanji definitely represents meaning tf u talkin about

You could aim for a moderate ability to communicate and understand with a time investment between 1-3 hours per day if you actually do it every day.

You'll be far from proficient at anything though and you actually need to put in that 1 hour minimum each day.

>>21737906
because of the numerous valid criticisms you have of the current version, of course.

>>21736536
Mandarin is definitely easier than Japanese but Japanese has much more good content available than Mandarin. Plus Mandarin has the simplified and traditional hanzi divide, both types are commonly used online and in manhua. It's very easy to read though and I prefer Mandarin characters to Japanese ones since they're easier to read

>>21737904
nope, if i was entitled id demand people do things for me. if anything its entitled to demand that people never criticize your effort because youre giving it them for free

It's frequency based on 10 years of Asahi Shinbum newspapers from 1990 to 2000. So it has a lot of political and economic words before super simple shit like cat and dog. It also has a lot of outdated loan words as well.

The list your showing is the Core list sorted by kanji. Idea being you can learn the kanji then see it used in a few new words.Sucks for newbies though.The original list had no order or had dictionary sorting.

holy shit
just got to work and today i have no classes. zero.
all i have to do is eat lunch with the 2nd graders which isn’t even work
this means i have SEVEN WHOLE HOURS free to read as much as i want wow i feel blessed

>>21738112
>is core 10k really frequency based?
yes and no

the contents as a whole are based on a frequency list but the deck itself doesn't follow the order of that frequency list

>>21738427
>>21738437
what the fuck is the point of making a deck based on a frenquency list if it's not fucking following it

i think the logic is your going to learn them all anyway so may as well do it in the most easy way to learn them. similar to rtk

i'd like to point out that core10k also lacks 天使

>>21738465
how exactly does showing you multiple similar words in a row make it easier to learn

>>21738457
Nuke optimized it, probably to follow RTK by having similar things together to make it easier to study. Like learning colors together instead of seemingly random words. Maybe that works for some people but it seems really confusing

Honestly I don't think nouns should be put into anki anyways, they are way too easy to pick up

>>21738482
y tho

>>21738484
Why would it have that? It's based on newspapers.

>>21738368
why are u judging what people play

>>21738493
don't ask me

>>21738504
probably cuz someone who doesnt know japanese tried to merge different spellings in the frequency data and didnt know which one to pick as the main one

>>21738537
doing core is meant to convince you that you can learn this language. it doesnt actually help you learn the language though.

hope y’all have a nice 一日 and make fat gains

>>21738537
whats the point of doing any of core lol

https://youtu.be/sZzYGuVqSag?t=43

>>21738766
>>21738756
there's a difference between something being common in general and common to specific things. it's definitely not a common word outside of highly specific contexts. people don't just go around talking about 祠

>>21738773
linking a random video where it shows up doesn't make it common im afraid. im sure you can find a video of literally any word showing up lol. the fact you have to say "uh it shows up... here!" means it isn't common

>>21738776
>it's not a common word outside of contexts where it is
cool

武者震い
love kanji like this

>>21738785
i've seen it on a lot of anime and games dude i dunno, you must be sticking to very specific genres if you don't see 祠 every once in a while, i can hardly imagine someone reading "millions of characters" and never having encountered it

>>21738787
? 減数分裂 might be a common word if you're a biologist but that doesn't mean it's a common word in japanese, or are you really that retarded?

>>21738773
god the op of dod1 kicks ass

>>21738776
Yeah and there's also a difference in just learning the damn word and being a stubborn idiot who spends hours on /djt/ justifying why they refuse to learn shit by saying "oh, nobody uses that word."



You must eventually know all of the words anyway, why waste your time not learning them? If you just played a damn game or some shit you wouldn't even need to Anki it, you'd just know a ほこら is a ほこら　because you keep going to them every 10 mins.

>>21738743
it's a cultural word. if you spent enough time reading japanese stuff you will run into it.

>>21738787
yikes dude

>>21738791
i read VNs and manga and ive never seen it. i just searched the text archive of VN scripts (110 VNs) and it shows up in 7 of them, and mostly only in one of those repeatedly. how can you say that's common?

>>21738794
? im not arguing you shouldn't learn it. the same argument can be used in favour of doing core6k. thankfully ive learned 祠 cause you nerds won't shut up about it

wassimo

also i said 祠 and 袈裟斬り are common enough as in common enough that you should know them. not that they are common and should be in core2k or whatever.

japanese beginners who spent 300 hours trodding through a single game where a specific word shows up a lot: um actually, this word is common!

people on mount stupid who don't even know 祠: wow i have never seen this word therefor it is super rare and no one should know it

>>21738810
the original post i replied to said it's a common word so how am i the one who started it? im just claiming it's not, and im correct, unless you want to argue vs actual statistics like these >>21738803

of the top of my head where i've seen 祠:
thunderbolt fantasy
pokemon
breath of the wild
that drakengard op

you'll also see those fucking things fairly easily if you go to japan too

lol it's common in the way >>21738820 described it. not knowing it means you aren't reading a wide variety of compelling content. shall steven have pity on your soul

>>21738803
>see "uncommon" word in memorable context
>remember it because you can vividly remember scenes from vidya

Let me guess you also never bothered to learn 神殿 because it's "not common" enough?

>claims core has outdated words
>get pointed out they mine even more retarded shit
>shu-shut up damareeee illiterate swine

>>21738840
i learned 神殿 and 本殿 from axanael lol

let me help u fools out
if a word u find on ur own is uncommon it doesnt matter because it showed up to u in ur personal interests enough times for u to care about it
if a word in a premade deck of beginner vocabulary is uncommon it matters cuz it might be something u wont see a single time in ur first 10 ero ges
and its harder to remember a word when u have no personal connection to it so u wasted more time than u needed to

anime is easier to understand (at least if it's SoL) because the speech is more clear and there's obvious visual cues. i wonder if someone has gotten fluent just reading and listening to podcasts. i'm not saying anyone should do that. but if that's where your interest lies, is it doable?

nice bait but i aint kamu

i don't actually think japanese people don't know how to read japanese jamal, if that's what you're thinking i'm arguing against, i'm saying it's common to forget readings for kanji, even common ones.

even this guy reads better than probably all of djt in terms of fluency in reading

memorizing 鬱 with a mnemonic is harder than brute forcing it

man holy fuck i cannot wait to get good enough to replay my favorite childhood games in japanese and i feel i'm well on my way there. i mean i could do it right now it's just that it'd be annoying having to look up so many words. but even that screenshot alone looks cool to me. ever since i was a kid i had wondered how the japanese experienced their media. obviously translations can change the feel of some things.

i think it is the same time of micro thinking that causes people to put the 30000th most common word to an anki card before they even have perfect grammar

What is your criticism of RTK? No one says you need to use it, it's just a useful way to learn kanji

dunno if it's just my mental disability or nah but djt has been pretty funny today

bro the answer to study japanese 24/7 was so simple. I'm going to become a priest

what happened in 2012 that took this man away from us

this is now a writer's only thread. you must be able to write at least 10 kanji to post here

Did anybody ever read one blog about a guy who became a Buddhist monk or something like that while living in Japan?
I can't remember if it's something I actually read, or something I dreamed about. If it's the latter, then please ignore this. If it's real, but you've never read it, you may ignore this.

>>21739209
>10 kanji
I can write kanji for numbers 1 through 10. Am I allowed?

doesn't matter watch what you like

It seems to me like people on this thread like to discuss Japanese learning, Japanese learners, and weeaboo cringe more than they like to talk about real Japanese stuff or people.

there are womanz among us

>>21739316
its djt things : )

>>21739316
what’s “real japanese stuff”
and real japanese people are mostly boring

>>21739316
maybe reddit is more your style

>>21739316
this is djt not daily talking about japanese people and stuff thread noob

i feel studying kanji in isolation in some way or another is key to enjoying japanese

today as i read im gonna メモする new words in hiragana only, look over that list reading the words out loud and even try reading some of a book in all hiragana to see if/how it has any effect on how i perceive/process words going forward
i wanna shift this kanji bias

>>21739387
having udon in kanji is peak chuuni. you may as well have it in random hentaigana since you're more likely to actually encounter that on a sign irl

>>21739394
like this, mine this.

>>21739394
why would u have a card for udon in kana lol

>>21739400
why would you have a card for udon at all is the real question here

>>21739406
cuz u saw the kanji somewhere and were pissed u couldnt read it probably

よっしゃ！！
きょうのきゅうしょくはハヤシライスなんだ！！(*´∇｀*)

>>21739409
all your hard fought knowledge is going out the window when you reach japan and discover they just write shit with whatever weird ass characters they have lying around from 4 centuries ago anyway so why bother with that bullshit

that hentaiji guy could probably read all of these signs

>>21739457
lol looks like he realised japanese ain't his thing

>>21739471
i'd bet it's more the dude would just rather play his games in english, know a lot of people who watch anime with english subtitles and read vns in english to clear their backlogs faster who are learning japanese, stupid if you ask me

>>21739475
well they just suck at japanese like this dude that's no surprise

>>21739297
lol fag

>>21739479
well one of them at least is better than me but he started some 2 years before me so that's no surprise

>not used by a lot of people so you can use it to talk to people privately in public outside of Japan
>infinite letters so you don't get tired of reading

>fewer uniqe sounds compared to other languages makes it easier for listening

>>21739475

Hmm

>>21739513
what you trying to suggest here boy

>>21739512
>it's a short and concise language
lol i'm pretty sure studies have shown it's one of the least efficient languages in terms of information conveyed per syllable

can u believe this is never gonna see the light of day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQFeVjL_3Y

Does anyone else speak with a slightly higher pitch in Japanese? My native language is Spanish and I feel like I speak with a higher pitch in Japanese and a lower pitch in English, could be because of the differences in consonants and vowels

>>21739518
fucking bullshit, they have words like 加齢酒 and 木漏れ日 and a bunch of 4ji with really complex meanings that you'd take a whole phrase to say in english like 鏡花水月 and 知行合一

Dunno I'm a 棒立ち myself when speaking

oops i mean 棒読み

>>21739526
加齢臭* fuck

>>21739518
didnt someone post a study to show that and it was like nihongo text translated into a bunch of other languages with all the subtle unimportant shit cut out and then they counted number of letters and called it information density lol

>>21739526
argue with the studies not me
https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2015/06/whats_the_most_efficient_language.html
it's pretty obviously true though if you consider anything except random 4j that don't appear often

>>21739535
they are pretty close once you factor in the syllable per second rate

>>21739518
but they leave the subjects out. that has to shrink it a lot compared to english. plus most words are <4 syllables

>>21739538
hardly "short and concise though". especially when you're speaking keigo and it's just 90% filler to make it less direct

手遅れ my tomogaki I've already surpassed all posters itt all but george

>>21739526
unfortunately this doesnt nearly counterbalance the fact most verbs are 3 syllables or more
fortunately none of this matters at all

bro i watched enough anime with english subtitles to know that japs can say some fucking really short sentences and the english translation is fucking massive comparatively i don't care what some study tells me

>>21739535
fine, remove all of the polite bullshit and see what happens to the numbers

english: no thanks

English: Last night I opened the front door to let the cat out. It was such a beautiful evening that
I wandered down the garden for a breath of fresh air. Then I heard a click as the door
closed behind me. I realised I'd locked myself out. To cap it all, I was arrested while I
was trying to force the door open!

French: Hier soir, j'ai ouvert la porte d'entrée pour laisser sortir le chat. La nuit était si belle que
je suis descendu dans la rue prendre le frais. J'avais à peine fait quelque pas que j'ai
entendu la porte claquer derrière moi. J'ai réalisé, tout d'un coup, que j'étais fermé
dehors. Le comble c'est que je me suis fait arrêter alors que j'essayais de forcer ma
propre porte !

at least make ur conclusion from what the study actually was and not just some fuckin numbers
btw whats goin on with the nihongo in the pdf lol

>>21739553
Why not just 結構です?

>>21739561
man if japs only got rid of their fucking pointless ass filler words that are in every other sentence. their language is so context-dependent but they throw that efficiency out the window

>>21739577
well the numbers in the study say it's the language that conveys the least information per syllable so my conclusion is the same?

>>21739586
go learn chinese if you want efficiency. japanese is the language of beauty and aesthetics

>>21739602
i don't think it's flawed or else i wouldn't have stated it obviously or are you actually retarded

well japanese has the most information per sentence

>>21739608
if ur the guy that linked to a blog post instead of the study then that aint obvious at all lol

I wandered down the garden for a breath of fresh air. Then I heard a click as the door
closed behind me. I realised I'd locked myself out. To cap it all, I was arrested while I

>Last night, I opened the garden door to let the cat out. It was such a beautiful evening
that I thought I'd go for a walk and breathe the fresh air. Suddenly, the door closed on me.
I ended up on the streets, without keys. To top it off, I was arrested when I tried to force
the door open to enter.

>>21739637
and people actually argue english is efficient

自分はゲイだわ

Japanese: がん
English: A group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements.

english:
Isn’t it the best feeling when you’re finally able to recognize a recently learned kanji or get the grasp of a sentence?

Even if it isn’t a very difficult Kanji or sentence, there’s something very gratifying about being able to understand it or at least the gist of what it is trying to say.

I have only been learning Japanese for about two weeks. I learned the kana in about two days and since then have been working on basic grammar rules and somewhat easy Kanji (the stuff you probably should start out with, like 大きい, for example), but when I am able to recognize a Kanji in a video game or something, I feel great.

I also love that combined Kanji make words that you could recognize with common sense, for example 大人 (adult) is big + person. It makes much more sense than English in some ways if you really think about it.

Good luck to everyone else on their journey.

I went to mine some kanji and all I got was some stinking diamonds, yuck!

if i was the itazura neko guy i wouldn't fix SHIT for that asshole who's complaining. he doesn't deserve a second of your effort dude. what a fuckhead.

I didn't except goblin slayer to be this hard to read, I don't even think that still qualifies as light novel.
Or maybe it's just me who isn't fluent enough but the author not only uses a lot of slang but also a lot of barely ever used kanji.
For example I just encountered 鎚 and it didn't have any furigana but I was able to guess its reading thanks to 槌 (that's probably why they didn't give any, but I still had to check it anyway).

>>21739995
If a virus exists it was from your site.

quick question, feel free to call me retarded, there's a japanese word I hear in anime that sounds like they're saying the letters "A O U," they use it for saying "Thank you."

What's the actual word that they're saying? I tried searching "Eiouyu," that's what it sounds like, but I'm not finding it online.

Read hirgana, katakana, and maybe a few hundred kanji.

I can understand most sentences and conjugations but I always feel overwelmed when I try to read and I don't feel like I'm retaining new vocab well when I anki now.

>>21740652
I don't believe you, go bait somebody else. I'd appreciate not being trolled. I already said you can call me an idiot for asking a really simple question. I'd just like to know what they're saying so I can genuinely add the word to my Japanese vocabulary.

>>21740708
Twitter. I was unclear in what I meant. When I said that I meant that I can understand a sentence I meant that I can understand what the subject of the sentence is but I can't read enough of the kanji to fill in the blanks.

>>21740731
>>21740652

>>21740752
>>21740708

Yeah that was fucking ultra retard of me to say. Some sentences is much more accurate.

>>21740704
that's shockingly bad, my german rtk mnemonics are better than that shit

>>21740766
everyone makes mistakes in communicating what they mean sometimes. it’s okay.
what you probably need is to relax your expectations about what you should be able to understand and how quickly. reading will start out very, very slow, for everyone. no matter how anyone else tries to make it seem, they had to read for at least a hundred hours or so before they could go at a steady, comfortable pace. that’s normal.
and it’s also normal to be overwhelmed at large amounts of text if you’re not used to it. take small chunks of language at a time (50 to 200 characters) and work through it no quicker than you can comfortably do so, with the help of a dictionary. it’s very important not to rush yourself, and to take short breaks between each chunk as to not exhaust yourself.
and don’t get into the mindset of having to “read kanji”. you want to read *words*. so look up those *words* as you go, and the meanings of most sentences will come together given your grammar knowledge. if it doesn’t, skip it for the time being. with more experience and exposure, whatever it is you can’t understand now will click over time.
if you give yourself permission to feel good about each sentence you can successfully understand (instead of getting upset or frustrated with yourself for not being able to do it faster or with less lookups), then you will create a positively reinforcing cycle and see progress happen.
if i were you i’d let go of anki for a while and just work on having more and more experiences of understanding small chunks of text and feeling good about it.

Thank's. That helps.
But what is flustering me the most right now is coming across words I should know by now because I've encountered them before and looked them up but completely forgetting their meaning and pronunciation and it just feels really insurmountable.
I have entire pages of words I wrote down countless times that I still can't remember even when I look back and see how many times i've repeated this process.
So how do I study more meaningfully and retain the words I do look up?

>>21740886

Lots, but political talk is too hard for me, so nothing to recommend there.

don't care to read that study but man it is undoubtedly flawed as fuck not only with the one million potential interference variables but also with how you define information and what sources you use
