n5 reading challenge

i would like to understand から more
から no imi wa, wakaru no ga fukaku natte ikitai desu yo

This will sound retarded and I may get shit for it, but does anyone know where I can watch/download western shows/movies with Japanese dubs?
I'm curious to know how Japanese dubbing is handled for foreign media, but I'm having trouble finding a place for this kind of thing since they're not Nyaa.si or 1337X. Don't tell me they're only available in private groups?

>>45871056
use a vpn and log in to netflix or other streaming service
Japanese dubbing is unusually high quality because they have a robust voiceover industry
However, the Japanese subtitles will almost never match because they are handled by different teams
good luck, fren

Replying to my own post
I found this video on a channel aimed at Chinese learners of Japanese
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuggbOJwNpc

Anyone here trying to learn two languages at once this way? I'd like to find a good channel for German learners of Japanese or Italian learners of Japanese, but not Japanese learners of Italian or German because you know they're gonna have shitty accents.

私がさらわれてしまったせいで、この様な事になったのかも知れませんとすれば、休むわけには参りませんわ。

I get what she's saying but after in the dialogue they point out her grammar is being weird again. what's the issue here?
I think the second sentence is worded weirdly but it's just a guess

>>45871174
>use a vpn
Any recommendations for free ones? I haven't used one for years, so I don't know which ones are still good
>and log in to netflix or other streaming service
While my family does have Netflix subscription, their catalog of shows are quite limited and doesn't have the things I'm looking for. Not to mention, Netflix doesn't allow you to take screenshots, and I'm not sure if every show there also have English subs to compare what the characters are saying in Japanese
I was hoping getting a torrent site as my answer
>However, the Japanese subtitles will almost never match because they are handled by different teams
Oh damn, that's gonna make things difficult, though I guess that means I get to learn more words of the same meanings.

If you're a beginner or intermediate, you're far better off learning from native Japanese content, not dubs of western content.

Just because.

can i wear this in japan without issue?

From the reddit jlpt thread
>I’ve been living in Japan for eleven years, I’m 16. I took N2 and got 20/180.

>>45871991
ほとんど has other meanings

Can someone smart suggest me a way I can study/practice Japanese while riding my indoor bike?
Setup is kinda like pic. I have a TV and my phone is locked to the handlebar.

Time on the bike has been ramping up as I train for the season and it's kinda been pushing out Japanese practice.
I often watch anime while riding, but I'm not at a level where I can understand what's said without English subs. I tried it with Japanese subs but I'm not there either desu.

How do you pronounce ん after an r?

>>45872187

>>45872139
Does this apply to most other cases when speaking about having only a little? Not just quantity of things but like speed or size.

How do I study kanji? How thoughrougly should I learn each character?
Also, what should I focus on- being able to write it? Being able to read it in context? Words with said kanji?

>>45872194
Yes. You will later study a shit load of grammar that use negative form to avoid stating something bad or undesirable too.

>>45872255
follow the guides
anki with words, some will contain kanji

got bored of my tulpa, so i got rid of it

For some reason i always had this image of djt being an elite group of hyper fluent gaijins who had the secrets to learning this godforsaken arcane language, but seeing you guys almost fail the n3 is making me rethink my assumptions

there have only been like 2 djters in thread history who knew jack shit
but a real djter would never take n3

feels good when you just know jap and dont care about doing reps and shit

yh me and moe

no its ciaran and kanken guy

who?

ciaran and kanken guy

who??

dno read teh archive

did anacreon ever do anything amazing with japanese?

yeah, he wrote the most popular japanese philosophy treatise of the decade

you all mean jamal and imouto.

og is the only one on djt that ever learned japanese
proves that only women can learn

no one on djt knows less japanese than og not even the ones that just passed n5

ineptitude is always synonymous with multitude~

the fact that og said something about imoutos japanese being wrong is the only proof you need to know that she doesnt know japanese

is that some disney movie song

someone post og critiquing "japanese" text

Where are all the gay Japanese men at cause everyone in HelloTalk is a woman and I just want to queen out with some Okamas desu

do your homework kid im not reading all her shitty babbling again

yeah matt

i wish matt could be my friend that i dont even have to pay money to talk to

>>45871991
Because it’s a negative polarity item and by itself means almost/nearly. “I almost have no money.” If you pair it with ない, then it becomes hardly/barely.

I miss the guy who would reply with encouraging posts

>>45872834
We're all going to make it.

>>45872571
>og said something about imoutos japanese being wrong
based maybe she’s better than I thought

encouraging anon saved my life many times

>>45872855
imouto is native tho

thanks to the encouragement from various /djt/ anons, I took up amphetamines and changed my life.

what ever happened to rattata anon

>>45872864

5 years ago we all respected our imoto as any oniichan should

>>45872969
I don’t know. Might just be imoto defending himself for all we know lol

dunno what you talking about but imouto is one of the ogs and i respect her more than any of you faggots

Checked. og is the real winner of the thread. Anons still seethe at her ability to ponder the blueness of the room

god i miss og i hope shes lonely

the real irony of all of this is how og knew nihongo, but imouto don’t know nihongo like she knows nihongo though

>>45872929
its clearly higher t to cum inside tho

when she got mad she started calling people pajeets left and right

get mad, lose 20iq

>>45873132
Oh no I’m going insaaaane

being called a pajeet is at least a little traumatic you have to admit

lol ngl that was funny

only if you're an unironic unkohada

Just watch dogens series, he's an expert on pitch accent

dogen is a sadist who focused on pitch accent over proficiency and powered thru with autism

you mixed up s and m

madist

dogen saw a way to make money off weebs that dont know better and he cornered that market
mad respect

im not a madist im a sassochist

dogen said to spend 2 years only studying phonetics and nothing else, is that good advice

dogen also said to watch tokyo sonata dozens of times in a couple of weeks

its only going to take you 18 years to learn Jap, might as well make it 20

matt and dogen are so based

damn comparing dogen to matt is low

just realized 2006 is when anime died with haruhi taking over akihabara

AI is not going to replace any existing programmers, but it discourages new people from learning how to program and that will lead into a spiral trend in which there were will be fewer programmers until there's no choice but to make AI replace humans

>gpt
俺のあらわにした殺意に満ちた面構えを見るだけでも、それについては俺はどう思うかという意見を察知できるはずだ。

ai is going to wreak absolute havoc because there are billions of dollars going into throwing hundreds of programmers at giant balls of yarn instead of keeping things organized and sane and limited in scope and ai assistance will enable people to roll the ball of yarn in shit to make a bigger katamari at an unprecedented pace

crazy how they're still making "anime"

making cuz ppl be watching

of course they will keep making it. there is too much money in BIG ANIME for them to ever stop

anime is japan's only noteworthy export

vidya too

Does tourism count as an export?

no

i wouldn't say it's japan's only noteworthy export, but it is the only thing that can't easily be replaced.
japan's automobile industry isn't that special, you could buy a german car and have the same quality.
but anime can't be replaced by western cartoons

the starting point to any business idea should be that the non-learning market absolutely dwarfs the learning market.

Why you think all adjectives end in な?

What are the first kanji that you think of when you see this image?

>>45874453
it’s the adverbial form of あどけない

does 稀 appear more as 稀 or as まれ?

the less females depictions an anime has the better it is

子供彼女

JKs are also alright in my cunt but the US cultural influence is so strong that I believed until my 30s that it was 18

as for my country, it's jcs

it's 14 where i live, has been since 1800s
would be a real shame if they raised it due to アメリカ influence

Man how the fuck did I learn english. I don't know even know what an adverbial is.

never cared about grammar
never will

looks like a 精虫 ngl

its like an adjective that you use on a verb
like "he is slowly moving" the ly is the adverb

not sure if self own or 140iq moment

Although I have only started "studying" Japanese around 20 Days ago, I had wanted to learn the language for a while, and was fortunate to have already acquired Katakana and Hiragana through "osmosis". Thus, leveraging this benefit and realizing the unavoidable challenge ahead of me, I decided to download Anki and jump straight into the Kanji. Since I currently have at least 7 Hours of Free Time that I can commit to Japanese, I figured that learning Japanese would be as simple as pressing Buttons in Anki for 7 Hours a Day until I "clocked" in the 2200+ required hours to become fluent in the language...

But I was wrong. I was so, very wrong.

Firstly, every Kanji seemingly has an unlimited number of different readings, and each reading has its own manifold of definitions. I know that words aren't supposed to be learned in their totality like this, however Dictionaries alone have not been very good indicators of what readings/definitions are the most common, and while some words do have example sentences: Since I am basically at N-Nothing right now (Even if there was an N7, I would not make the cut), I obviously cannot profit from them.

Even still, I managed to create and nearly memorize close to 300 Kanji since I began, however, despite having spent the majority of my time inside of Anki, I still occasionally find myself forgetting some readings

Nonetheless, I was still managing to trudge along, and figured that since Anki Fatigue was beginning to manifest, that it would be a good time to stop adding Kanji Cards and focus on building my Grammar, Vocab, and Pitch Accent skills...

Pitch Accent...

I already knew that Japanese Words did not utilize stress like with English, however I was told that the pronunciation is always flat. Despite this, I was beginning to notice that the Audio Entries in the Dictionary didn't sound particularly monotonous, and had heard murmurings about how some Native Japanese would become confused when a foreign speaker used the wrong pitch, so I decided to download a Pitch Accent resource...

Each word has its own Accent, and they aren't always predictable... Sometimes, even the same exact word can "switch" the way its supposed to be pronounced depending on what follows (e.g. According to one Dictionary, "論" seemingly follows 頭高型, but "論文" is listed as having an upward pitch starting from ん, despite using the same Kanji).

I apologize if this post comes across as pretentious, since I've only been studying for a short while, but all of these factors together are very overwhelming. Despite dilligently studying all of those Kanji for over 2 Weeks, I feel as though all of my "progress"(?) up to this point has been meaningless, since I was not even pronouncing any of them correctly.

I do not want to quit, but I do want to cry; Despite my young age, I fear that my body would sooner return to dust before I even reach N5.

Bonus: I tried constructing a sentence, is it grammatically correct, and how can I improve it? 日本語を大好きけど漢字が楽しい無いと思う

>>45878169
まれ's generally more common than its kanji spelling.

>>45878293
i read the manga for that, it was okay-ish but ultimately forgettable

>>45878294
The saddest part of this dekinai rant is that the reddit comments recommend wankikani to him. It feels like watching a livestream of a drowning person where people are spraying water at him.

yoo the osmosis meta is back?
