This thread is for the discussion and learning of the Japanese language for people who want to consume untranslated otaku media.
If you have no interest in otaku media or want to request a translation, this is not the thread for you.

I think it would greatly improve this general if we made a new rule to give increasingly long bans to people who make grammatical mistakes in their Japanese sentences. This would improve the quality of the general and stop being a bad example for beginners where they pick up bad habits. Bans could start at 6 hours and double for every mistake.

Is the guide/resources page maintainer around? I seem to have fucked something up under the entry for Yomichan on the resources page, and Google Docs won't let me undo it and nothing I try fixes it.

I was trying to correct the fact that the font for the Yomichan entry was really thin compared to the text for all the other entries, so I highlighted the Yomichan section and set the style to standard text, but now the top line of text for the entry is all fucked up. Just looking at it you can tell that something is wrong (especially the bolded "Yomichan" bit where the link underline is horizontally off-set and the Y is not showing up as bold anymore), but when you put the cursor onto the top row of text it is showing up in the middle of the letters instead of before or after them now. It may or may not be related, but the Google Docs page started lagging the fuck out of my browser after I made the edit.

TL;DR - Can you cancel the edit I made to the Yomichan entry on the resources page?

Here's an interesting idea I've had recently in regards to language learning... Does anyone feel like it's really geared towards programmers? At first I thought it was just in my head. Oh yeah, I'm a programmer, so I must be subconsciously clicking on video guides which happen to be made by other programmers. I must be seeking out the best learning tools, which are of course made by other programmers, as who else would have the ingenuity to make those things? But that isn't it entirely. There are so many Japanese learners who are software engineers and programmers, probably more so than any other profession. But then again... It makes sense, doesn't it? If I and most programmers can learn another programming language effortlessly in a matter of hours, than learning to speak a language should be an easy task as well. We chose Japanese, because, let's face it, most of us programmers are massive nerds. Nothing's wrong with that, but it's true. We all love Japanese anime, food, and porn. And programmers, well, we are usually the dedicated type. To work on a project every day for 5 months is the definition of dedication. So we start learning Japanese, and it isn't as easy as we thought it would be, but we enjoy it; we nerds enjoy our challenges. And since we started learning it and saw the challenge, well, just like programming, we might as well continue! Maybe it's just me, but as they say, where there's smoke, there's fire.....

I do think there is some sort of tenuous connection between *reading* code and natural language. People who can fluently read code are usually extremely skilled programmers, top 1% at least.

The way I see it, you could describe the state of programming as everyone speaking their own private dialect that others aren't familiar with. The people who can readily understand another persons fucked up dialect has to be very very very comfortable parsing the literal effects of various statements to be able to see the bigger picture and figure out what the person was actually trying to do. They also have to have a huge wealth of experience (i.e. been there done that) to be able to understand the intent.

Or, put another way, imagine a world where everyone could talk but only a select few could listen.

I see where you're coming from with the language thing, but real languages aren't exactly the same as learning a new programming language. I'm not a programmer but I have to do a lot of programming as part of my school curriculum/subject choices, and while I'm not saying it's easy by any stretch of the imagination, learning a new language is definitely a lot more difficult. Maybe there are some more advanced things that differ greatly between programming languages, but most of the time they all follow the same sort of flow, with just syntax changing. The iteration/selection processes, functions, file handling is very similar, just having to write slightly different functions to call upon.

Now you could say that this is literally what real life languages are like, since they all contain roughly the same stuff just with 'different syntax'. Well with Japanese, that's certainly not the case. It contains the same stuff as all other languages I guess, as in, you can convey equally as deep/meaningful/scientific topics in Japanese as you can in English and other languages, but the mindset of thinking in Japanese from thinking in most European languages is hugely different.

I guess the point about determination is true though. My thoughts are just that if your first claim was true then surely there'd be tons of native English-speaking programmers with French/Spanish/German under their belt, so I definitely feel like it's something else that would draw programmers to Japanese.

My guess would be that an underlying variable, namely the personality traits and type of person who would be drawn to a career in programming is also the type of person who would enjoy consuming Japanese media (anime) and then if they're a programmer, they're likely a disciplined person like you said (or if not, they would have learnt discipline quickly) and would be drawn to learning Japanese and sticking with it.

I wasn't attacking your grammar.
My grammar is pretty shit too. I interpreted "というのと意味はだいたい同じなんじゃないかと" as "it has the same meaning I think". I was replying (or meant to) "same meaning to what?".
Though after some thought, it turns out I completely misinterpreted your post.

"自分は日本語がまだまだ、だけどあれは
とてもわかる、というのと意味はだいたい同じなんじゃないかと"
"My Japanese still has a long way to go, however I think it has the same meaning as "I completely understand", I think."
Is that what you were trying to say?

Because I originally interpreted it as:
"My Japanese still has a long way to go, however I do understand that (phrase) completely. It has the same meaning I think"
Which confused me.

Using Anki for vocab training (following the OP guide), and I'm constantly finding myself getting a word wrong, seeing it a couple minutes later and forgetting the answer so I constantly see it for the next 10-15 minutes until I can remember what it is.

>so I constantly see it for the next 10-15 minutes until I can remember what it is.
This is a problem with how anki's first interval scheduling interacts with "learning ahead" (seeing a card even if its review time isn't ready yet, if you have no other reviews). If you don't have enough reps you'll run out of reps scheduled within the next minute or whatever and you'll be forced to see any card you can't remember every second time a card comes up until you remember it. When this happened to me I would just bury the card that kept coming up, making it come up tomorrow. This isn't giving up or cheating, it's making up for anki having a design flaw.

What you are experiencing is why I chose to do Kanji first. However my opinion is not good because I have never taken the JLPT, but I plan to take the JCAT soon.

I tried learning kanji + vocab at the same time, but it became a problem because I felt I should know lots more kanji than I did so I chose to focus on kanji doing 50+ new cards a day while drawing them when I missed them. After going through all 2200 I then put the reverse side in and did those too.

After that I began vocab/grammar.

Learning all the Kanji at the start gives you many hints on the word you are learning.

Kanji in my opinion is meant to assist with Vocabulary and at the same time you are learning how to write the Kanji. Without Vocabulary, Kanji is pointless. Kanji study is just useful so that when you study new vocabulary you aren't stuck trying to figure out what the vocabulary actually means as you can parse it out just by the kanji its made of.

TaeKim recommends against using Kanji if you feel you don't need it. Either way you're going to learn them through either vocab or through isolation.

It gives me a pleasant sensation down my spine when I wrote down kanji.

So that's one use.

No, I'm being genuine, there's a certain pleasure I've got when I wrote down kanji. It's like calligraphy. I had to suffer through a lot of writing classes back in 中学, and writing kanji kinda erases the bad memories from that time. Of course, I don't make it a habit.

Legit my favourite thing was when one 'radical' crosses into another 'radical', like in 載, where the long top line of 戈 goes above 車. I love 戈 .

this is actually one of the few legitimate reasons to learn to write kanji, i know you were joking to some extent but it's very real. one must be very careful to limit their intellectual understanding of it to reality, however, and to ascribe any benefit it gives them to the psychological effects it has on them.

I learn how to write 頂戴 every now and then and I just forget it after a couple of months because what's the point, I can't/won't keep all 3k+ kanji in memory to summon them from my head perfectly every time
If I want to write kanji I get a look at them first and then I can write them correctly and it feels good

I find the last chapter of Making Sense of Japanese What the Textbooks Don't Tell You, where he deciphers a long japanese sentence (the first sentence from a Japanese history book) word by word (not literally), is an incredible look into the sensation one can get when reading Japanese. He actually had a section on 'linguistic pleasure' and I agree. Sometimes reading Japanese sentences feel like solving a puzzle.

I try to keep in my head that sort of pleasure one gets when one can properly read Japanese when I approach new texts. Sometimes I gave up, sometimes it just clicks, but I just remember that in the end, there is a good thing hidden beneath this foggy veil of Japanese.

The distribution of IQ scores is artificially modified so that it forms a normal distribution and the inner standard deviation is around 85~115 IQ. This is around 68% of the population. 95% of the population is within the range 70~130, and you know this means that ~47% of the population is in the 70~100 range.

You don't know IQs.

In the case of IQs, 100 is both the mean, median, and mode, because it's forced into a non-skewed normal distribution.

Now, I have a 150 IQ or something stupid, but it's almost entirely because I'm a white male with intelligent parents who didn't grow up in a ghetto, and my "intelligence" is definitely not above the inner 99.7% of people. It's true that IQ tests are fucked up and education has too much of an impact on them.

How do you guys set up your grammar deck? I studied Genki for two weeks back in December, and I turned the grammatical concepts from each chapter into a (physical) flash card.

So, for example:
In the front:
>第十五課
>文法:
>Volitional form Conjugation rules?
>[V-Vol]+と思っています?
>vs [Vol]+と思う?
>~ておく?
>~けど/が for two sentences?
>見える vs 見られる, 聞こえる vs 聞ける
And in the back there's a line for explaining each of those, for example:
>~ておく=[V-て]おく: To [V] for preparation of something else.

This is of course not the most efficient of ways, and my original plan of doing this for the Nihongo Sou Matome N3 books fell through because I can't be bothered.

Looking over the deck I've made, I don't even remember all of the grammar concepts from the Genki books, so clearly there's some more grammar study I need.

If you don't use flashcards for grammar study, how do you study grammar? Especially, how do you make it stick?

You don't need to know how to write a single kanji to write japanese even by hand. If need be, you can write in kana anything you want and it will be understood. Writing in kana is not considered to be wrong by any standart either, it just could look strange to some. Golden middle would be learning how to write the most frequent kanjis and know stroke order of any kanji.

切手 is shortened form of 切符-手形(きっぷてがた) , which used to be used and mean all "promissory notes" in Japan because the mark形 of one's palm手 on a sheet of paper for a commercial transaction had been a useful identification which shows who has the right of anything, but after around mid 18C the meaning of 切手 had begun to be limited only for postage stamps for some reasons I don't know.

Japanese etymology for the most part is shallowly known and the majority of word etymologies end in "we just don't know, it suddenly sprang up like that" or "it was used in the 7th century in the same shape and role as now". There are bits and pieces of Pre-Old Japanese reconstructions that don't depend on Altaic garbage that can be fun to look at, but for the most part what manages to be interesting is kanji, and that's all Chinese.

That's not terribly unusual.
Think of grammar guides as rule books for board or card games, or manuals for complicated video games.
First time I read a manual to MTG I was lost in all its rules and phases, but as I sat down and tried to play, referring to rules as I played to check/get guidance/confirm - it all fell into place.
Start reading books/manga/vn right now and go back to DOJG when encounter a turn of phrase or conjugation that you cant understand or is in doubt about, and if you don't remember or understand it fully after the first encounter than you will probably return to it later - this good, this is how it works as long as you keep reading.

As I said, RTK is not teaching meanings, it's giving each jouyou kanji a unique name. Sometimes that name has nothing to do with the meaning of that kanji, but is useful for remembering other kanji that use it as a part.

Not really. It's to help you recognise and stop confusing all the slightly different kanji out there by drilling each one into your memory.
The "meanings" are of secondary value.

>> No.18783765

>>18783727
The point is that it doesn't matter that the meanings are wrong. There are so many compounds where the meaning doesn'T have anything to do with the individual meanings of the kanji. All you need is being able to remember which specific kanji the words are made of, and for that, it's useful to have a name for that kanji that doesn't interfere with other kanji.
When you come across 沢山 = たくさん you don't go "wtf japan, that's WRONG", you just remember that the word is written with those two kanji, no matter what the individual 'meanings' of them are.

To add: every time a noob breaks into the thread saying "wow gayz I really have problems with kanjis gotta start RTK" the answer is YOU don't fucking have any experience reading anything, you don't know words or grammar. You have problems with sodding everything in the language but you, deluded, think that kanji is cornerstone of japanese, thereby it should be treated in a special way. It's true that you absolutely have to know basic meanings of kanjis and their readings, but it's not worth dawdling for months just to recognize shapes.

There are basically two cases:
First: you don't actually need to learn the language, your brain subliminally apprehends that it's not worth to waste time whatever goal you have in mind.
Second: you actually need to learn the language for some reason. That's a complex problem, you have to learn how to act in spite of your wishes. Start self-discipline, make a schedule for days, you should be on track after some time, the key is consistency. And of course you need to leave the thread for eternity.

Thank you for the article.

Unrelated but this here is a great example of my mid-way goal and a great ambition: to get to the point where I would describe a kanji like 伺 not as a "dude-radical and a chief radical", but as "にんべんに司と書いて" - because as I know from learning English I will never advance anywhere if have to keep using one language to describe another.

It's a great ambition for sure (I wanted to be able to do it too), but I'm not sure if it's a mid-way goal. Radical names sounds too much like specialized vocabulary. If that's a mid-way goal, what is your final goal? Calligraphy commentary?
