Imagine for a second you were learning English instead. This is analogous to hopping onto your local Daily English Thread and blogging about how you never know the pronunciation of "ough" when it appears inside words on your English anki flashcards.

You seem like you know English so I assume you see how stupid that sounds to anyone who actually spends time listening to the language. Learning words isn't about trying to drill the letters into your memory using anki, it's about hearing them in practice and being aware on a base level that they exist.

Reading requires that base level awareness of the existence of a pronounced word, having a good picture of the contexts it might be used in, and knowing what symbols stand in for it on paper. All that intuitive knowledge is what allows you to see something like this and read it properly:
直に帰ってくる
胸を直に触る
This is an example where 直 is by itself and followed by に but the same concept applies to every other use case, including when it's with other kanji. The same set of skills is used to tell you how to read it.

Unfortunately getting that intuition takes a shit ton of input but it's the one and only way, so no real use complaining. Anki can help a little bit with the "base level awareness" and by reminding you that a word exists, and it can help a lot with exposing you to tons of kanji, but at the end of the day a couple dictionary entries and example sentences won't build a full map of a word's usage in your head.

But all I have for now is anki with these words (they have yet to show up so far in my reading material, go figure).

So all that's happening is that I get them right and then get them wrong 1-3 days later, forever and ever. I think one of them made it to 7 days once and I just got it wrong. I'm probably better off just making a separate deck of just these words because half of them are leeches already.

Is this about the 20 words containing 直? If so, what I do with really confusing terms that I mistake easily and often is to go out of Anki all together. I put those 20 words on a piece of paper (printed), and just go to town on them.

Do hourly reviews until you're sick of it. Spend some time on making your own personal mnemonics for the difference between each word. Wake up with that paper next to your bed and have them be the first thing you test yourself on in the morning. Yeah, you're breaking out of the SRS thing with really frequent reviews, but people have different memorization hurdles.

Once you feel absolutely bored with it, put them back (or unsuspend them) into Anki and maybe press "Hard".

>> No.18656154

>>18656107
If they eat up that much of your time I'd just delete them from anki. Or yeah, make a separate deck like you said, but really there's no need to worry about it that much. Anki isn't the right solution to resolve confusion like the kind you're dealing with, in fact it just makes it easier to get confused since everything is mixed up together and out of context. Just read and listen and let your brain fill in the gaps

>>18656111

This is my I think 3rd or 4th time taking N5. In the exam I felt like I'm gonna fail it again and been crying since, but after recollecting myself, I think I finally understand why I'm failing.

Little background of skill level: I haven't actually studied Japanese seriously until maybe a few years ago. I memorized Hiragana and Katakana many, many years ago via sheer exposure (sister was full-weeb that time so I got so I got to watch her play Japanese video games a lot), and then around 2-3 years ago I started grinding vocab via lexikeet, I think, which helped me understand radicals and learned how to write kanji correctly
And then 0-1 years back from right now I've mostly been learning Japanese via Anki, did some translation projects for some 4komas and game content, but I never did take the effort to learn these vocabulary like putting them in an Anki deck and grinding each day. Right now I talk to some Japanese acquaintances every now and then online in a community I'm in, using mostly vocab to deliver broken-but-understandable Japanese. I even got a sponsored trip to Japan last month for my translation work.

Anyway, cutting straight to the point, it seems that grammar is my weakest point, and listening also still needs some improvement. I'm pretty sure I aced vocab minus one question (I had no idea what みがいています meant at the time... but ironically I knew what the kanji 磨く means, so I would have gotten it right if the question used kanji instead of full hiragana). Heck, my gf who passed N3 a while ago didn't know the kanji for 砂糖 but I did, lol

Constructive advice would be appreciated, thanks. I'm thinking of immediately retaking this July, and hoping that my grammar would be fixed by then.

My particles are fucked up.

銀行に小切手で入金して郵便局に手紙を出して歩き回って写真を撮りました。

how do you practice and get particles down pat.
I know that に is often used for either time or location and で is used to specifies the means/methods, を is a direct object marker, が is subject marker, は is the topic marker and へ shows direction.
That is basic overview but how do you go from looking at the particles in depth to using them correctly with the correct type of verbs.

For example: Taken from: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20180321/k10011373581000.html
また、夫婦で訪れた広島市西区の50代の女性は「日本酒が好きでよく飲みますが、ふだん飲まない銘柄も味わうことができ、楽しかったです」と話していました
I would not think to use で here and instead use を in the 夫婦で訪れた, isn't 夫婦 the object of the verb 訪れた what does で mean here? Is it the difference between "...visited by married couples..." and "...married couples visited..."?

If の is bothering you, try reading up on の. Tae Kim explains the actual grammatical function iirc (の working as a noun stand-in to nominalize a whole phrase)
That probably won't help you form a full understanding of it right now, but the only way that will happen anyway is through taking in lots of Japanese

For now you can think of the difference between questions that use の and questions that don't

Like:
泣いてる? vs 泣いてるの?
At first glance these look like they are looking for the same answer, but the tone is completely different. The first one is simply asking "Are you crying?" in a curious/neutral tone, and it means the speaker is actually seeking that information because they don't know it. The second one is like a more aggressive "You're crying?" not necessarily asked because the speaker doesn't have any clue about the answer, but more with the motive of prying the answer out and drawing attention to it, possibly because that answer is based on an explanation they want to see. So saying 泣いてるの to someone who's crying is basically calling them out on being a little bitch, but saying 泣いてる is just asking if they're crying or not.

Another example of the tone change:
何がいい? - Asking the listener to point out what's いい because they don't know.
何がいいの? - What's いい about this? [All of this looks like it's not いい to me.]

の kind of implies the speaker already has their own idea of what the case could be, and they are asking because they're surprised that it's turning out to be different (or that the listener thinks it's different). の is usually around when you see words like 本当に and マジで in yes/no questions

Your example is similar. The speaker is asking "Carnivores don't have a desire to eat other carnivores?" in a tone implying the person they're talking to, or someone else, or the general situation, is somehow directly or indirectly asserting that yes, carnivores don't want to eat carnivores. It suggests they (the speaker) thought it would make more sense if carnivores did want to eat other carnivores.

>>18661481
It's probably better to think of the か as emphasizing the question aspect, since か can pretty much always be omitted (and often is) but の is pretty crucial to the intent of the question

I don't even know if these are parts of real words like if they actually have them, or if its just written that way for emphasis on random sounds for the character's personal mannerism like how some english comic might end a sentence with "d-damn this suuuuucks" where damn and sucks are not actually written that way but those mis-spellings are there for a stutter and drawn out sounds for emphasis.

Huh, that explanation is kind of weird without context. Without any Japanese to go along with 遅くない? and 遅いんじゃない? it's hard to tell what he's trying to say about it. I can think of cases where "isn't it late?" would be fine as a casual 遅くね?
Also he didn't address that there's other ways to put it that use の
Like in the context of asking about the current time, all of the following exist.

Let's say someone opens with 夜の10時って、and follow up with one of these:

遅い? (Asking if it's late. They are actually seeking to find out if 10 pm is late or not, because they don't know)
遅いの? (It's late? They didn't think it was late.)
遅くない? (Isn't it late? They are confirming that it's late.)
遅くないの? (They thought it was late, are surprised that something is suggesting it isn't. ない would be emphasized)
遅いんじゃない? (Actively suggesting to the listener that 10 pm is late, not so much a question at this point)
遅いんじゃないの? (Suggesting it's late and are surprised listener would think otherwise. Probably angry someone is coming home at 10 pm)

TK seems to be saying the same thing though, that it seeks explanation. How come you can't talk with me right now? is definitely a question that would end with の if you asked it in Japanese.

All I can think of is wacky sounding ones like やんす or like イカ and ゲソ as in ika musume, but I feel like those are pretty obvious so I'm having trouble understanding what you're talking about. Are those what you're talking about? Just wacky gobi that specific characters use as a cartoony quirk?

The fact you picked out small っ and ー specifically is confusing me because I can't think of any examples.

I don't really know what to call them if its not that. I just noticed a pattern that they almost always come at the end of a sentence/panel. I just assume they are anime/manga character things because whenever I have been texting with japanese people they don't seem to ever end sentences like that.

Written Japanese is imitating spoken Japanese which is often heavily slurred. In my experience you can look that stuff up fine, there's a million results on google. I'm pretty sure that's how I got clued in on most of it in the first place.
っつーの is a slurred っていうの and it's a super colloquial way to push something you're saying at the other person.

It's not a new sentence ending, you just need to listen to a lot more casual Japanese. Watch out for 方言 though

Also I would be wary of learning the Japanese that Japanese people use with you as a standard for all "real" Japanese. There are a lot of situations a gaijin won't see if they are texting to a japanese person who is well aware that their partner is a gaijin that won't understand certain things. They will almost certainly avoid dialects.
Dig around the Japanese side of the web and you'll find tons of people using colloquial language they wouldn't use in a "kaiwa time with gaijin" setting

Yeah, the actual meaning is what the hinative guy is saying. It's a way of pushing what you're saying at the other person. You can interchange with つってんの and つってんだよ and whatever, the meaning is the same

The truth is in the middle, looking up literally every single thing is inefficient but half-assing isn't a good way to learn.

They weren't theorizing. They knew. Factually. Based on evidence. And the idea was shared by any scholars that it traveled to. Not even the catholic church believed the Earth was flat, that's a myth perpetuated by bad/wrong elementary school teaching material about Columbus (who, by the way, just thought the world was way smaller than it was, because he was deliberately misinterpreting the experiments and math that measured its size).

Apparently you don't, because the math doesn't work out. They knew where the sun was at different times and what distances there were between different points on the planet. It is not difficult to figure out distances using astronomy and the sun, and they knew how.

>> No.18666797

Well, if the front only shows the sentence unmarked, how do you know what's supposed to be in the back of the card?

For example, if the front showed you this sentence:
>未硬化状態の成分を包含する基材の成分が、表層部の表面に滲み出すことのない靴用中敷を提供する

And when you made the card, the 'new word' is 中敷 so you put the definition of that in the back. When you got the card again, how do you know that 中敷 is in the back of the card and not, say, 包含する?

Ah, do you mean that the back doesn't really matter after a certain point?

>> No.18666817

>>18666797
The point of sentence cards is understanding the front of the card, it doesn't matter if you know what is going to be on the back. You only put the definitions there because you (should be) mining i+1 sentences and its useful to have the new term there for that reason.

>> No.18666820

>>18666797
Because the sentence is supposed to only have one new thing in it, therefore you'll know the rest of the words/grammar in the sentence and be able to deduce what the new part is.

Can someone explain >read more to someone who doesn't understand?
I open up a beginner level reading material and all I can read (more like pronounce) is the hirigana and katakana and one of the hundred or so kanji that I know. The rest I don't know how to read or what it means or anything. I probably can even say out loud less than 10% of the book without looking it up. How is this helpful to learn a language when I can't understand 90%?
I even see videos of these so called linguists that spout the same "lol just read bro" nonsense. I don't know if its some special kind of brainpower that unlocks after you learn language number 3 where you can just pick up a book for a language you've never touched before and immediately start reading it and somehow absorb that and understand it.
This is a very foreign concept to me that doesn't even make logical sense.
Is there any guide about how to actually read when you can't read? All these people (youtubers, content creators involving language) are so fast to say "just read more" but ironically none of them put their money where their mouth is and show how a beginner would approach reading without knowing how to read.

Your brain literally needs to create new neurological wiring for every part of reading Japanese in order for it to become a simple process. The only way to train all of the skills needed to read is by reading, even if reading is too hard to actually read. If you can read the kana, great, that's enough for now.

How do you improve listening? By studying phonetics, not listening to any natural japanese conversation (or even a slow conversation with exaggerated pronounciation designed for foreigners learning the language), until you memorize the exact positions for pronouncing each vowel and consonant, or by listening enough that your ears are better-trained to distinguish sounds?

The idea behind "read more" is that you try getting used to the 1% you can read―the extremely simple and grammatical phrases like ここに座るように言われた―so that you can tackle on more complex sentence structures later, which might be composed of several simpler clauses that you have become used to reading. Of course, strictly reading and not studying any vocabulary or grammar is pretty pointless, and it's even worse to read relatively hard material such as novels full of prose, since you will be searching up more words than reading. Overall, you should start with something simple, such as most slice-of-life mangas, so that you can hopefully understand 20% and eventually understand more as you gradually learn more words and grammar. Your biggest problem with manga (of any difficulty) will be understanding slang or noticing contractions, but you shouldn't worry too much about that for now.

>>18670152

The short version is that I attach visualizations to words to make retaining them easier, I don't really do "hammering in" much at all. It obviously also gets easier over time in general, the more experience you have with kanji and vocabulary the easier it becomes to recognize what previously unseen words might mean and how they're pronounced.

That's one good thing about this language, eventually you just start picking up speed and from there it's just a matter of keeping the boulder rolling.

I don't have perfect retention, but I only ever press 'Good' the first time I see new words which are the only thing Anki counts for the "Learning" statistic. That section is practically irrelevant since it doesn't really make any difference in the long run, words I legitimately fail to retain show up as 'Again' presses under "Young" instead.

As for the mature retention, obviously niche words I last saw 2 months ago or whatever are harder to remember than niche words I saw 2 days ago no matter the method. That doesn't really imply any kind of negative trend unless the retention percentage itself starts steadily dropping, which it hasn't.

Interesting, I am having kind of the opposite effect. When I was new to it I was just crushing it like most days I would do my 20 new kanji and the review and just want to keep the train going and add 20 more (I didn't but I wanted to). I did a bunch of custom studies and stuff just because I wanted to do more review because I was finding it really easy.

That worked up to maybe 1000 words, and now I'm around 1200 and I just can't keep them straight anymore. My leech cards have gone from 3 in the first 1000 to 14 after passing 1000 and there are probably more on the way. And I can just feel the retention slipping, and now I'm even getting ones wrong that I'd got right for the past 2 months. Its to the point I have to stop adding new cards every 3 days or so just in order to "catch up" and actually have any chance at retaining the new ones I just learned

My learning methods haven't even changed, I just wrote out a new word one time when I first saw it; the kanji, the hiragana pronunciation, the romaji, and the definition/meaning. I just think its become less effective now that there are so many different kanji that look way too similar on quick glance so I mix them up.

But I need to find out what's wrong. I don't want my word/kanji journey to end already, but I can't keep going like this its fucked up. If any other anons have been through that and can share what worked for them I'd love to hear it

I don't think it's so much you having the opposite experience from mine but more that you're right in the middle of the infamous hump between beginner enthusiasm and having enough experience under your belt for things to start moving increasingly smoothly. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 words is pretty much exactly where it's located, it's enough for you to have been at it for a good long while and having a lot of words to deal with, but reading is still fairly slow and difficult so it's hard to be properly exposed to the continous reinforcement you gain from it.

I kind of tailor-made my own visualization method for myself over time so I can't help you much on that front but yeah, it's a good idea to try and see if you can find more effective methods if your current one isn't working. For what it's worth, you'll probably be fine and things'll eventually get better as long as you don't let that murderous hump win.

is there some logic to why it seems like the grammar logic of transitive and intransitive verbs gets flipped?

I see things like く often used for transitive endings then ける for intrans, but i occasionally see ones that are the opposite, with ける being "to x" and く being "to be x"

The only ones I can grab are the ones with 付く attached because its basically an added verb to create a full meaning

I'm not sure I understand how Anki is supposed to be used to learn. Just installed it today, followed the guide and went through the 20 words. I wrote down the hiragana, romanji and meaning in a notebook for all of them.

Is that it? Am I supposed to go through the new words multiple times or just the once and then again when I do the repetition the next day? I didn't remember jack shit if I'm honest. Am I supposed to be writing the words down or should I just be remembering them from looking at the card?

Clearly there's some figure of speech in there that I don't know, because the literal translation is meaningless. "Late start without thinking is the visible appearance of sweetness." 思わぬ出遅れは見通しの甘さの表れだ. Is there some kind of grammar guide you'd recommend that goes over stuff like this, because the free beginner shit you find on google real quick doesn't as far as I know.
