I do not do... reps.

10 more minutes...

Fuck you, you're just gonna make me feel even worse about it now.

30mins till I can do them

I started doing them again a few weeks ago but I quickly got bored and gave up.

I'll do it tomorrow.

reps of what? i did some squats today and ate some oats

I do my reps every day.
So, how about that 日本語, guys?

Yes. I need to learn 25 more kanji before I go to bed, though.

why are these threads needed?

there are people who actually try learning but give up after a week or something?

how embarrassing and this is coming from a worthless faggot but at least this worthless faggot has TRUdedication

Whats a good deck? I did like 1500 cards out of the kanjidamage deck a few months back but abandoned it cause I didnt learn the on and kuns of the kanji.

You can learn readings through vocab.

>>10116738
I guarantee I'm more worthless than you.

>>10116738
I think people just want to talk about Japanese. While there are obviously many other places to talk about it, there aren't many other places to talk about it with other /jp/ users than /jp/.

>>10116745
If your goal is just to read and never write, then you may as well start drilling vocabulary, you'll absorb the kanji readings naturally.

Is there anyone here who has gone through learning how to write kanji/vocab but after awhile just gave up and solely focused on reading only?

I have no real reason to write anything. My amount of cards due will be drastically reduced if I suspend the writing ones.

I study kanji by looking at its meaning and then writing it once. So I get writing practice, but I don't write them some huge amount of times, and it sticks in my memory through SRS (I of course write it a few extra times when I first learn it). Knowing how to write kanji is very helpful since it helps me to understand how they are composed and break them down. If I see some type of calligraphy and I can't understand it I can figure out the stroke order and probably get it then. I never study from looking at then kanji and then giving its meaning or reading. That can come from reading actual Japanese.

Honestly, I cannot see myself ever writing in japanese, and if I do, it would be online using an IME.

This has been a long journey, almost at a big milestone.

please improve handwriting please

>>10116861
Good work anon. What are you studying from, if I may ask?

>>10116869
Nobody can be perfect from the very beginning.

>>10116869
If you think thats bad you should see mine

>>10116877
please improve handwriting please

I'm glad I have discipline, unlike some people.

No. I give up.

I know Sugoi, Oishii, Ganbatte, nani, and Tabun. All those months, and these are the only words I can remember...

>>10116883
What a retard.

>>10116890
no bully, arigatou

>>10116869
I'll work on neatness once I master jouyou. I'm considering 習字 classes or something.
>>10116873
I'm just doing kanji as my JLPT1 anki deck gives them to me.

>>10116733
Decided not to do anymore. Brain feels like mush and I need a break tonight. Thought you'd like to know, /jp/.

>>10116935
>Thought you'd like to know, /jp/.
We didn't.

>>10116935
お疲れ様でした。

>>10116952
Fascinating.

>>10116899
Although I had a little trouble making out the characters at first, that was probably my fault being so used to computer fonts. That's pretty good anon, maybe someday I'll learn to write.

You forgot your trip, Gomenasai, but.

>>10116979
Talking about the sentence I mean.

>>10116948
Also I had Subway for lunch. I had a bacon chicken and ranch melt but it wasn't very good. Also had some sun chips with it since I haven't had any in years but I didn't like them either. The sun was in my eyes the entire time and it was a bad experience.

Sorry, not him... Just a general shitposter.

I was planning on doing a 30-minute run first thing in the morning tomorrow. Hopefully I can forget the fact it's going to be unbearably cold, so it doesn't hold me back...

Otherwise, I just got a PS3 today so I'm not doing much else. Some work later, but it's the weekend.

Is there any real difference between RTK and KD anki decks if im just planning on reading VN's?

How are most of your anki cards set up for vocab?

Mines:
--front--
vocab in kanji (unless its a kana only word)
example sentence
--back--
vocab reading + definition

The example sentence really helps me remember what the hell the definition is for some words that are just kana only.

I was thinking about making MCD cards but I'm not too sure about it.

I was also considering changing my card layout. Originally it was just the word in kana on the front of the card, but I changed them all to kanji. I feel like having the vocabulary word and the example sentence on the front would indeed make it much easier to remember words, but at the same time I feel like it might become too easy and draw away some of the focus on the word. I guess I'll just give it a try sometime.

Man, I miss when this picture was posted all the time. That fang is so cute.

I don't care about speaking or writing is as much as I do just reading. Is there anything specifically for that, or do I have to take the long route and learn the other stuff too?

>>10118800
Sorry, I meant speaking or understanding it when hearing it outloud. I do want to learn writing... though still not as much as reading.

only practiced some Katakana.

I'll do them later. Like I've been since 3 months ago.

Im curious, How many new cards do you guys add each day? Im currently adding 10 but feel maybe I should add more. I just don't want to fuck myself over in a few weeks when all the reviews pile up.

Ill start when I figure out which deck to use. RTK has none of the meanings but kanji damage seems off.

Thanks OP! I almost forgot.

the only reps I do are for my pecks, weebs

Can you guys recommend me some more decks please?

I have the kana down pat, and now for kanji all I have is "Basic Kanji Books vol 1 2" and Heisig. I need some more kanji decks and probably some for grammar/conjugation
