This is the 3rd time I heard Error this week
Why does everyone love Towa's original song?

Very nooby question (2nd week learning)

I've read from Tae Kim's guide that くんよみ is used for stand-alone kanji and おんよみ is used when there's 2 kanji or more, but when I try to apply this rule there are some cases where it doesn't work

Pic related is my dictionary search for two in japanese (くんよみ = イ千 and おんよみ = ひと）and the first example has the onyomi reading for it alone, the 2nd has the kunyomi reading for 2 kanji, the 3rd has the onyomi for 2 kanji, and that goes against the rules I have learned
Am I doing something wrong? sorry if it's a stupid question I am very confused

You get an expansion hole on the 3rd quest. Do you think they will hand it every week ?

Wait, if it's 3 weeks, then this is the 3rd week.
Meaning that if I do all the weeklies in one day, I can bypass having to clear that garbage extra map again. Getting right on it.

In that final week of July, I ended up reading 100,000 characters in a day for the first time (I was reading Summer Pockets at about 13,000 characters/hour by this point) - before going on to hit 100,000 characters in a day another 3 times that same week. I did a total of 80 hours of immersion that week (so an average of 11.4 hours a day) - 47 hours of reading and 33 hours of listening. Within that week I finished off the rest of Summer Pockets, started another VN and finished my 3rd LN. Also, I took part in TheMoeWay's immersion leaderboard for July and managed to win that month. At the end of the month I changed all of my sentence cards on Anki into anime cards since I'd noticed that far too often I was able to remember a card purely based on the context before I even got to reading the word. As a result, I was still repping 30-40 new cards a day but it was taking almost half the time per day that it did with sentence cards. My retention rate dipped slightly for a short while after the change but quickly got back to normal. For July as a whole, my average immersion was ~7.5 hours a day.

I went away on holiday for a few days in early August during which I didn't do any immersion and was busy with other things during the month such as moving house. Plus, with COVID-19 restrictions pretty much gone I wanted to spend a lot more time with family and friends that month. But overall I still got a decent amount done. By halfway through the month, I'd finished another 2 VNs (one of which I'd already started in July). I then started a VN called 白昼夢の青写真, which is one of the best VNs I've read yet (Case 0 in particular is a brilliant read). (Side note: I recommend reading something that's roughly around your current level but which you still find interesting - if you read something far more difficult than you can handle you won't understand a whole lot and won't get much out of it, on the other hand if you don't gradually increase the difficulty of the stuff you read your growth will stagnate. For me, I had a lot of different LNs and VNs I wanted to read and slowly worked through them in order of increasing difficulty, very roughly speaking.)

Around the same time I also started making the monolingual transition, i.e. transitioning over to using J-J dictionaries rather than J-E dictionaries. Since I'd read a fair amount by this point, I found it to be a fairly smooth transition but it still took time to get used to and my reading speed dropped for quite a while. I often mined common words that I would see in definitions too. Up till now I had mostly been mining words in i+1 sentences (i.e. I'd mine something if it was the only piece of vocab/grammar I didn't know in the sentence) but I stopped following that rule and instead would mine even multiple pieces of unknown vocab from the same sentence as long as I could understand their meaning in that context. Furthermore, I had been very reserved with what I mined to Anki up to this point since I figured that particularly while I'm still new to reading I'll be able to acquire a lot of the more common stuff just by reading a lot so I would only mine words that I could tell for some reason would be difficult to remember (or if they contained unfamiliar kanji or had a meaning which is not obvious from the kanji). But from this point on I started being just a bit more lax with that. Oh, and I also managed to pass the Kotoba N2 quiz in early August . For August I was doing an average of 4-5 hours of immersion a day.

​

~5.5 Months to ~8.5 Months (1st September 2021 - 5th December 2021):

September was a huge month for me in my Japanese language journey. In early September I decided to sign up for the December JLPT N1 test on a whim as I figured it would be a cool side goal to have. At the time I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to get good enough to scrape a pass on it in time for December. However, I sure as hell was going to try. I decided to really challenge myself to immerse as much as I could in September. Around the beginning of the month I also began an internship I had lined up, but luckily it was quite flexible with timings (my day could be anything from 9-3 or 8-6 purely based on how quickly I got the project work I was responsible for done). Also, since it was remote I didn't have to waste time commuting. So I tried to be as time-efficient as possible, essentially finishing by 3 everyday and managing to get 6-10 hours of immersion in every day (some in the morning and in my lunch breaks lol), as well as 10-12 hours on weekends.

>Risu's 3rd karaoke this week already
They're really gonna have 3d at Holofes.

They do it all time and are not (never) going to advertise that they have done this for themselves or a customer.

Get to the doctor or get some UTI supplements. afterwards drink a 50/50 pure cranberry juice solution once per week. That's the expensive bottle not the cocktail or sugar drink made by ocean spray. You can do like 1/3rd cran rest water. Shit is strong. It might help you now a little bit but it will flush them out after and keep them out after.

What's with all the Holo x Kotone stuff recently?
This is like the 3rd collab she's had with a Holo this week.

>>37482567
yes. that's exactly what would happen.
I don't know if you noticed, but when the retard IDschizo wasn't here to spam its thread (like the week before 3rd gen live), we get like 1-2 threads, at most 3 when the thread dies because no one cares about the race.

The new edition is like 50 bucks. I wouldn't have bothered learning porn runes if I didn't need 9 language credits at uni. From what I've heard, the 3rd edition adds dialogue and moves things around. Days of the week (mon-fri) are now taught in chapter 4 while the weekend is taught in chapter 3. Not that it matters much, all I need to know is enough JP to enjoy the >plot.

Reposting, 3rd episode done

I'll be continuing next week.

welcome to playing day 1 (week 1 really) of a season, everyone is just getting tossed toghther and you play pred players in plat and gold

it's not the best ladder system really

you'll notice a lot of her teammates today were completely clueless to her bloodhound pings and that couple she 3rd wheeled with both went 0/0/0 and meanwhile that valk got at the end was crazy good

>>37110543
>So she worked a grand total of 2 hours for the whole month?
She has also had 3rd gen live practice multiple times every single week and recorded a lot. You schizos don't count recording as work unless Ayame does it.
>3D anniversary live
Less than an hour of work when you take out all the recorded quest appearances. Marine was also there so using this as proof against Marine is really fucking funny and hypocritical.
>Friend's 3D
She didn't do that this month
>Noel's 3D
Not this month either
>OFAMS
Wow! She showed up for a collab she didn't even organize!

>Third group of trannies salty because of drm, probably poor-piratefag tranny from 3rd world country
Piratefags wouldn't care as much as buyfags since all their VNs end up getting crcked in a week anyway

>Only had my puni ana DX a week and already blew a hole in the pussy
Did I fuck up? I only gave it a couple of mating presses.
Ironically it kind of feels better going between the new 3rd hole

>You have to pay in yen,and you get "points"
No you don't. You pay in USD and the "points" are reward points after purchasing not YouIV points.
>Shipping is 50% of your order price or more
Depends on the carrier and speed. 2-4 days is gonna cost you 30-40 bucks, a week or more is like $3.
>Im not waiting for customs
Customs passes shit nearly instantly unless you're in a 3rd world country.

NOEL HAS A BOMB BOD' WE GET IT
STOP MAKING ME HORNY I AM ON MY 3RD WEEK OF NOFAP
