That's the local narcissist upset that you removed the CoR link. Just ignore it.

Now I understand.

Sorry for sounding like a retard, but how should I learn the stroke order? Just draw everything I see on Core2K/6K? Does it even give the stroke order? I just started with Kanji so I am not sure what to do. The guide only mentions the fact that most people don't learn to write, nothing more.

僕は気力が弱いからワニカニに払ってしまうしかない。

>>18250345
Learn the stroke order of radicals

>>18250479
Fuck learning stroke orders.

>>18250345
Stroke order, for the most part, is very predictable. You can find stroke order diagrams on Jisho. After you've learned to write 50-100 kanji, you won't really need stroke order diagrams anymore since the correct stroke order will just come naturally to you.

That said, there are some weird exceptions like 必 where the stroke order makes no sense which you will just have to learn independently.

There's very little benefit to being able to write kanji from memory though. It's handy to know radicals and stroke order so you can use Google Translate's handwriting search to look up unknown kanji, but there's really no point in developing your handwriting skills beyond that.

>>18250491
In fact, there is NO fixed stroke order for 必 and a lot of other kanjis.
We can only learn the suggested order in order to write down easiliy and make the characters look in good order

>>18250625
If you're talking about the alternative guide which was linked in the OPs a while back, then it is certainly amongst the archived threads somewhere if you follow the trail back far enough.

Alternatively, just search "alternative guide" in the archive (set it to show OPs only and you should come across it quicker).

I'm I right in believing that it's meant that Yuuki was "sure as how to proceed"?
Let me translate what I think it says:

>In what way could he proceed in order to make Kaori happy? Yuuki already knew the answer to that question.

>>18250158

He hates it.

could anybody share the picture of Anki set-up with me? I cannot find it in DJT guide and am not sure if it hasn't been deleted since I last saw it

>>18250835
I think you got the idea right. 関わる is a little different, and it's important to make the auxiliary いく clear here. "How do I concern myself coming forward in order for Kaori to become happy?" (an extremely literal translation)
I'd translate 気持ちがはっきりとした like "clear resolution" here, since "knew the answer" is a little deceiving.

>>18250997
It's on the CoR images page.

I feel like none of it's sticking. I keep having to look up words I already know.

>>18250997
The only Anki settings you need to mess with are:

>Reviews -> Maximum reviews/day
set to "9999"

>Lapses -> New interval
set to "15%"

>Lapses -> Leech threshold
set to "15"


Leave everything else default.

I was in the last thread and there wasn't anyone begging for translations. Nobody actually would ask translations for the dumbfucks here that repeat what they see on the guide (AKA the djt drone's bible).

What the fuck is her accent? It sounds like she's trying to do cockney, but she's clearly not a native English speaker.

That said, I don't think she's a native Japanese speaker either. Her English l's and r's are too perfect and, listening to a video of her speaking Japanese*, she sounds really stiff and robotic, almost like a text-to-speech program (not to mention, the video has a ridiculous amount of jump-cuts suggesting there was a great deal of "umm"ing and "ahhh"ing that she had to cut out).

No it wasn't, hence the dumb inside joke op image. Newfriends use the catalog and scan for images that pop out and tell them something. A shitty inside joke image plus antagonistic op text attracts shitters and deflects potential learners. Try to think about more than just yourself for something that's going to stay up for days.

>>18250244
The COR link was being used in both daily Japanese threads because people kept asking where to download things already in the COR. Cool name or whatever but newfriends have shown that they don't know what it is. While the previous op was up, less people where asking where to download things in the COR. Whatever personal issues you have are irrelevant because the thread is here for everyone, not just you.

>>18250613
The panda only pops up if you're a dekinai.

>>18254438
It varies by day to day.
Right now I'd say close to 1. Anki is to a point where its taking around 30-40 minutes (~100 reviewed cards + 20 new) and then I typically will throw on a video for listening or browse through a grammar guide and do some light learning while I eat my meals

It will probably jump up to 2 hours, maybe even more, when I feel comfortable enough to start reading or listening in more detail.

>>18254421

I just got done memorizing Hiragana but I have severe issues with handwriting. My English handwriting already looks really ugly which makes my Japanese handwriting barely legible. Obviously handwriting doesn't matter as long as I memorized the stroke order, but it deeply saddens me. Can anyone give me some advice on how to improve it before I screw myself over with muscle memory? Do I just have to practice each character for hours until it looks decent?

>>18254971
if youre insistent on isolated writing for whatever retarded reason, youll write them better with time anyways considering the kana are the most used characters in the entire language

>>18254438
~1.5 hours - adding new cards in anki
~1.2 hours - reviewing everything in anki
~3-4 hours - reading

>>18254971
In my limited experience of improving my English cursive handwriting after many years of it being shit, I don't think muscle memory can irreversibly screw you over in writing. Just go slowly (but not so slow that everything becomes wiggly) and carefully, putting extra attention into the shape that you want to make. Eventually you will get closer to your intent, and while fast writing will always look shittier than careful writing, your fast writing will benefit as well. I think just writing sentences will do fine, only put extra practice into individual kana/kanji if they are exceptionally bad compared to the rest of your writing. Also, make sure you refer to real handwriting and not fonts since you're early in your learning.

>>18254990
That makes sense, thanks.
>>18255033
>only put extra practice into individual kana/kanji if they are exceptionally bad
Most of them look rather hideous, so I guess I'll have to practice more. I just fear that this will significantly slow down my progress, since I'm already a slow learner. But I guess it's either that or simply being satisfied with the stroke order. Thanks for the advice.

What's with the way numbers are written in the Overlord LNs?

e.g. 39, rather than being written as 三十九, is written as 三九 (which I presume is still intended to be read the same way as 三十九)

I don't recall ever seeing numbers written like this before in other things I've read. Is this common in LNs? Or is it a peculiarity of the author?

>>18257276
Do you have a context example?
Overlord from what I know of it has a lot of game jokes and such in it, so depending on its use numbers can often have alternate meanings.

>>18257297
I don't think it's being used for the sake of jokes or anything. Here's the page for the 39 example I gave.

Every time a number has been written up to now, the kanji have always been treated as though they were numerals. When writing "100" for instance, the author doesn't use 百, he uses 一〇〇.

>>18257320
I think it's like when you say three four four nine instead of three thousand four hundred forty-nine

>>18257339
Nobody does that... do they?

>>18257348
It happens sometimes, like for instance "double oh seven" is the name of a western character

>>18257356
There'd be no way to read the zero's at the beginning if you didn't say it like that, so that's a very specific and exceptional example.

>>18257320
Honestly no idea. that's kinda weird, only thing I could think of is maybe clarity like the other anon said?
>>18257361
There's that and like if you want to be more precise like if you're giving a long number. You don't say your phone number is 5 billion, 5hundred fifty five million.. etc.
you say five five five, five five five five

doesn't seem to be the case here though

is it too late for me bros

>>18257560
Because you end up learning sentences and not words. I practiced sentence mining a lot because I had had a hard time with onomatopoeias but every time I look at a card I could instantly tell what this sentence(s) is about. Guess what? When I come across these words in the wild I desperately fail to recognize them. I guess it could work with very common words and grammar but I'm not sure to what extent.

>>18257615
well what should I do? keep focusing on reading and then dedicate all my time into speaking later, or split my learning into a 50/50 of reading and speaking? i do plan on going to japan so i'm not learning just to read manga or anything

How do I do step 5 on the Anki guide if I'm on a mac? The file paths are different.

>>18257666
Keep on reading, but also train your listening ability. Get some audio of someone speaking (make sure you're the same gender) and put a sentence on repeat. Imitate them. This trains your ear and your voice.
You've recognised the problem, which is good, but no one has flawless pronunciation in less than a year.

>>18257709
Most people don't like using the images, but if you really want to use them then I imagine your path will probably be the same as it is on Linux (/home/yourusername/.local/share/Anki2/yourankiusername/collection.media).

Actually, I remember having another path in the past on Linux which I think was /home/Documents/Anki/yourankiusername/collection.media so you can check there too.

>>18257741
As far as I can tell, there is no 'collection.media' file on my Mac. It doesn't show up in a search.

Native audio would be best (a TV show/film that you like and have subs for would be good) but if it's too hard then textbook audio would be fine for a while at least. Glossika puts out mp3s that are designed for this sort of repetition, but I dunno how good they are. Some people swear by them, others think their sentences have errors.
The aim of mindlessly repeating audio is similar to anki: it trains you. So when you next hear a similar sentence in the wild it'll feel familiar. That can help with expressing yourself too, as the right way of saying something will 'feel' right to you, as you've heard things said that way so may times before. This is how it works for your native language, after all. You just know that you can't say "David got on a taxi". It makes sense, but it doesn't feel right, even though you can say "David got on a train". But of course like anki you can't rely on that alone, so it's good that you study grammar, vocab, etc.

>>18257925
Thanks for the help then, i'll try to find a good jdrama or something and practice my listening/speaking with that alongside continuing to read

>>18257751
It's not a file, it's a folder.

Try searching your Anki username instead. That folder will definitely exist somewhere and the collection.media folder should be inside it (if not, you can probably just create it yourself).

Anyone here have experience with bunpro? Mainly interested in how well it teaches grammar. I can brute force words with anki or w/e.

>>18258072
Reading will teach you grammar better than whatever shitty app is being shilled on Reddit this week.

Look up the grammatical parts of the sentence in DoJG or HJGP or your local grammar guide and read the example sentences. You're not going to understand 100% no matter what for a very long time but that should get you through most sentences.

DDLC got a Japanese translation. This makes for nice reading and listening practice for anyone who is interested. He reads through it all and includes his own comments along the way.

Holy fuck.

>>18259881
No just give up, 洋館のtェアrんジャパ寝せ

>>18259881
I'm in a similar position. I got sick a while ago and couldn't face having to do my reps while feeling as shit as I did, and before long the review load ended up growing to the point where, even though I'm feeling better now, I think it's too late to go back to the deck and continue where I left off.

At the same time, I don't want to start a new deck after all the effort I put into making that one, but it also feels pointless to restart that deck considering how many cards in it are already known and thus a waste of time to review.

>営み
i constantly fail this word, its so vague

>>18259881
Why would you? You either graduated from using Anki and can read everything you want or you decided 5 months ago to stop this shit.

>>18259881
Just a 1000 and you're whining like that. Just quit whining and to your reps, like a real man should be doing.

>>18259881
If you have a lot of reviews, I recommend doing them in sets of smaller chunks. like doing 100 at a time. You can do this by setting review caps and slowly raising it after a set.

空く（あく） and 空く（すく） are different words.

Either combine or delete cards with multiple valid readings. There's no way to distinguish between them out of context in Anki.

If you use "沢" and "村" for "Sawamura", would the surname mean "swamp village"?

沢 also means river and I think that's the sense intended in names

So "River Village" then?

this is getting annoying

>>18261803
>I made sure I'm typing in a UTF-8 file, shouldn't be giving me crap.
Are you really sure? I'm on Japanese locale and the default encoding for notepad files is ANSi. You need to change it to UTF-8 in the "save as" dialog box.

>>18261820
I have modified my system ages ago to always create UTF-8 notepads.
Regardless, I have tried inputting at an old, previously saved UTF file, on a newly created one and also on an unsaved notepad.

I think it shouldn't even corrupt any characters BEFORE saving, since there is no set encoding yet.

>>18261842
How do I set that on Notepad and does that affect ALL Japanese text, or only the beginning?

>>18261817
This is why it's best to mine your own cards as soon as possible. You get to look up and include the full, accurate definitions instead of having some vague unexplained meaning shoved on you.

Just attempted to type in Cyrillic and it works fine, since there is no input conversion.

>>18261888
That's what I have been doing, but I want Notepad-chan back, fuck ++.
Worst thing is - if the bank thing is the culprit, I severely doubt many people have had the same issue, so Googling would be useless.

>This is a false assumption.
Well, I'm basing it off me having always been able to paste Chinese scribbles on Notepad and just changing the encoding at the time of saving Untitled.txt, so I wouldn't get corrupted text when re-opening it.

You only need to worry about kanji nuance if you're writing. People get by just fine in spoken Japanese without these alternative kanji spellings. What matters is that you can read the word when you see it and know what it means. The nuance is clear from the context, as you can see in the example sentence on the card.

Any good listening files or recommendations to listen to? N2-N1 advanced level stuff

Yes, I know I can just listen to music or whatever i want (including getting it often living here in Japan) but I figure thats too random (basic, slang, old Japanese, etc).

Curious if there's any files focused on preparing/practicing listening as test preparation or whatever, tailed more towards a student learning Japanese

Do you guys find value in mixing the new cards for the day into the reviews instead of reviewing all the new cards beforehand? Trying to figure out if there's any value in attempting to recall a kanji you've never seen then checking to see if you should even know it at all (might make you better at differentating them?)

Not totally sure what the "Gengo Japanese Audio" files are supposed to be but downloading them gives me a zip of Tobira. Something weird

How important is learning both Onyomi and Kunyomi in kanji?

>>18264264
it's not a question of either or

>>18264264
you're wasting your fucking time

http://www.guidetojapanese.org/blog/2014/06/23/you-cant-learn-kanji/

>>18264264
Do you want to read the words that use on reading or kun reading? What about words that use neither?

>>18264264
>learning readings on their own
ストップ！

Problem 1: The "compound words use onyomi readings and other words use kunyomi readings" 'rule' has a great many exceptions and can't be relied on.

Problem 2: Even if the above 'rule' held in 100% of cases, many kanji have more than one onyomi and/or kunyomi reading so you still wouldn't know how to read words without looking them up.

Problem 3: Some words don't even use the readings of the kanji they're written with (当て字).

Don't waste your time. You can learn readings by learning words which is an infinitely more productive activity.

Don't do isolated Kanji study unless you are

1) Learning how to write as a supplement to your main studies (which is reading)
2) Having a hard time distinguishing between kanji as a beginner (though, radical study would be much better for this). Once again, only if this is supplemental. Don't put off reading just for kanji.

You'll learn onyomi/kunyomi while you read and learn words.

I just started Anki, and I feel like I did a good job for my first review. Is this only limited to once a day for the current set of cards?

For instance, if I were to go at it again today, would it give me new cards too or could I just go over the ones I learned today?

Can I make it so that it will only show me the ones I learned today?

Being a lowlife aside, does playing NEWラブプラス+ help with improving Japanese? How hard is it?

>>18264574
>does using Japanese help with improving Japanese
I don't know, I think it might

>>18264597
How hard is it though? Most of my vocabs are from manga so I dunno if it's adequate

>>18264574
Anything and everything that is in Japanese helps with improving your Japanese. As for the difficulty, if you can read moege you can probably play that game.

>>18264424
Good argument.

>>18264264
How do you distinguish between one another?

unless your retention is really shit, you don't need to do this

So I should be good just studying once a day?

>>18264574
Just try it?
Surely your 3DS must have CFW by now right?

Should I start with either Grammar, Vocabulary or both at once?

>>18264943
Read through a grammar guide and start mining vocab from as you do.

>>18264943
Both

Do you listen to music during your study session?

>>18265035
I listen to studying during my music session

>>18263440
Very cool. Also do you take requests or just snag whatever you can find?

Any merit to doing DoJG deck? The actual DoJG books are great but I am wondering if it's useful in Anki-style vs. just looking stuff up when interested.

>>18265035
At low volume

>>18265076
Try it yourself and see if shit sticks better or not.

>>18264767
Probably. See how you get on without custom studies.

>>18265035
Lately I've been listening to the Madoka and No Game No Life soundtracks (at a lowish volume). I just find it makes reading tricky stuff more tolerable since you have the music in the background to boost your fun levels.

>>18265076
no

like steve-sama says, grammar explanations are of limited use until you've had a decent amount of exposure to the grammar being explained. you're never going to really "get" the grammar only from reading about it; you need to actually experience it yourself in a meaningful context.

>>18263440
青べか物語 and RDG look interesting to me. Thanks for this.

>>18265076
grammar decks and sentence decks are for people who are allergic to reading. if you do little enough to not get in the way of reading it doesn't accomplish anything, if you do enough to get in the way of reading you're wasting your time.

Don't listen to this anon >>18265116 .Try it and see if it helps. Just make sure you're reading alongside of going through it.

From Getchu, unless somewhere else has a tokuten I want more than Getchu's.

Hey 日本語が出来る posters I got a 質問. When you have こと at the end of a verb, it just turns it into a noun phrase, right?

Ex:
日本ではなぜこのように色々な宗教が共に存在ことが出来るのだろうか。

How would the sentence change if you had 存在が出来る instead?

First page and I'm already confused, I'm even supposed to be helping someone understand it. For context she had trouble opening up the locker. Page after that the door to the roof is locked then she says "これじゃ期待できないじゃない". Is there some sort of joke here?

>>18265076
its a decent introduction for exposure and connecting some dots, but it should be done as fast as possible, I spent 2 months on it with minimal reading and while I came out with a lot of useful knowledge, I couldve crammed it harder and just read the rest of the time and probably became more comfortable with it. It's still good to build on top of something like Tae Kim, just don't let it consume your time in the long or medium term.

>>18265358
>存在こと
Don't think that exists (kek)

>>18265511
When someone opens your locker you might think that they're putting a love letter in there. And if you go to the rooftop you might expect a love confession. I'm just guessing I haven't read this.

>>18265673
That's a stretch, but it's better than nothing. Thanks.

>>18265511
It's about confessions.

"Why is there a door on my locker? All it does is get my hopes up for nothing"

"Why is the door locked? All it does is not let my get my hopes up"

The joke is that she's contradicting herself. She accidentally gets excited when she opens her locker because something might be there and it "annoys" her, but at the same time she can't stumble into something on the roof because the door is locked and that also annoys her.

how do i learn this language through listening if i dont understand any of the words. if i keep listening to japanese speakers for hours a day will i magically learn the words?

>>18265295
SAY HEY しんちゃｎ！

>>18265837
>will i magically learn the words?
No. Ideally you would have a japanese transcript of the audio that you're listening to and you would then look up ~20 words a day or whatever and add them to Anki to help remind you of the words you're learning every once in awhile.
Less ideally, you would just mine words from wherever and eventually you'll start to pick them up in audio.
Learning from audio alone is only possible once you have a base vocabulary that can be used to describe the new words.

i dont want to do anki anymore. i did like 800 words. that should be enough.

Search for "Rikaichamp" in the extension store. It's another port of Rikai, it keeps the old interface and doesn't add so much fucking bloat.
