I wonder if anyone here has actually watched 10k hours of anime?

That is like 2500 seasons. Is there even that much anime worth watching?

>>19067195

idk if you noticed but that totally taking it easy and chillaxed man pretty much shit on him for the typical gaijin shit

which is about what youd expect on a video that was rehearsed

why do you think matt took a swig of that near empty water bottle at the start of his video

because it was literally take fuckin 50 and it was full when he started trying to make it

>>19067254
That video was a joke retard

>>19067264
Hmmm? why would you know that? it isn't stated anywhere that the video is a joke, so the only person who would know that information would be matt. wait, hold on...

I signed up to AJATT silverspoon 6 years ago (ish). Yes, I am - or at least WAS - an idiot to believe any of that bullcrap. In any case, I've been asking for that 'iron clad' refund for about a year, with nothing but an automated responses coming back. Any suggestions for what my next move could be?

>>19067517
Challenge matatt to death match to restore your honor.

>>19067517
just accept your foolishness and put it behind you

but then i must ask why youre in this thread which is almost as foolish

so words written in katakana tend to be loanwords, right? is there a place where I can look up what language that word was borrowed from?
like for example イチゴdoesn't sound like either the french, german nor english word for strawberry in the least, and those are all I know from the top of my head.

>>19067617
lmao just wait until you start reading shounen

>>19067617
you got it backwards

loanwords tend to be katakana

also katakana is cruise control for cool so watch out

>>19067617
That word is actually Japanese. It's very common specially in manga for authors to use katakana for Japanese words too, just look them up when you come across them and you should be fine.

>>19067862
So how much has it helped you?

Is this mostly subbed or is some of it raw?

So, the only way to rack up 10k hours is to watch moetrash and never-ending shounens?

>>19068005
I haven't needed a grammar guide and when I did core2k I knew most of the words already

Most of the anime was subbed but for a few years now I haven't really needed subs

How do I prevent Google from giving me Chinese search results if my query doesn't have any kana?

Maybe the Japanese shouldn't have borrowed half of the Chinese language then?

Hi /djt/!

I have been teaching Japanese for 11 years and would want to retire from Japanese teaching in 3 years time to focus on my IT.

IT and Japanese has always been my 2 things that i like....

Before i retire, i hope to create a very good resource (something like Japanesepod101) for all students learning Japanese to encourage students learning to never give up.

Would anyone be interested to help out in this project?

Things i would like to cover

Writing Hiragana/Katakana properly

Mastering Pitch accent

A guide better than Tae-Kim`s guide

etc, etc

Also, if you have an suggestion for any good platform like Wordpress to use, please let me know.

Appreciate.

I have decided if I do not like something I will just quite it, I was halfway through an LN that i didn't like a few days ago and just dropped it.

If you are not enjoying something you have no actual obligation to finish it. There are a near infinite amount of reading material that you will never have the time to finish so waste time.

糞！

I'm eager to transition to J-J dictionaries because I understand this usually marks a dramatic increase in comprehension. However, I'm not quite "there" yet, and furthermore I have no reasonable idea of what "there" looks like, or how far away it is.

I want to shake my study habits up a bit in hopes of accelerating my learning, so that I might get there faster. I've considered:

>Non-novice textbooks like Tobira
>Audio lessons like JapanesePod101 and Pimsleur
>Grinding on the dictionaries themselves for a while so that I learn the common dictionary vocabulary and grammar

Please tell me why some or all of these ideas are shit, and whether it really is just a case of "read more".

>>19068071
You have to give things a fair shot, but there's also not much point in forcing yourself to finish things that don't engage you. You'll be more motivated if it's something you enjoy.
That having been said, a lot of plot-based VNs fuck around for a few routes before bringing out the big guns.

Or alternatively you can just go to the DJT grammar guide and search up all the stuff you don't understand, since this is relatively easy grammar

Greetings.

Every day on this forum I see a plethora of posts from hardcore users. These people stress the importance of having a large vocabulary for both writing and speech, lest you miss out on any information. They will insist on native like pronunciation, and denounce anyone on YouTube with an unnatural sounding accent.

They also offer the classic AJATT suggestion: "You need to have headphones playing Japanese constantly embedded in all orifices."

But what about the casual learners? The people who watch Anime with English subtitles, and just want to learn the odd word here and there for their amusement? Well I'm here to speak for them.

The people who spend all day studying Japanese know more words and more Kanji, but that doesn't necessarily make them superior. Let's not forget, they made sacrifices to achieve that skill level. In the time it took them to reach an advanced reading level, they might have been doctors or lawyers. They might have been the next Mozart or Tolkien.

If you want to skip Kanji and just learn a few words it doesn't make you stupid or a weak person. For those that have learned to read—I think it's a fine task that you've accomplished and I salute you for it. But let's remember that it's not for everyone.

That's okay, though.

>>19068477

>>19068477

>>19068477
This is a thread for people learning Japanese. Watching anime and "picking up" an odd word isn't actually learning a language. It is very odd to come to a thread for a specific topic and act like it's silly to be talking about it.

Any skill takes effort. Any thing has an opportunity cost. Go tell piano learners that they should have been lawyers instead. You don't need to make yourself feel better for not wanting to put in effort on a thread about putting in the effort.

>>19069475
My friend claims that his girlfriend "knows" jap and had a conversation with a Jap family. Turns out she just said cute dog. People don't really learn it from watching anime. They learn a few words and phrases, but don't know grammar and are completely illiterate.

Just in case this isn't satire, do people actually believe this? Has anyone ever talked to anyone like this? Did they actually know Jap or were they shit at it? I have to imagine these types just know phrases they heard while seeing what the subs say, but are completely unaware about sentence structure and what shit really means.

>>19069631
It's real man. All those hours you wasted doing stupid reps and shit? You could have been watching anime and learning japanese without having to do any work at all. Shame on you, bro. Not like you'd use that time for anything productive anyway though lol

I can see anime as a supplement to other learning materials and allowing you to hear the language, but as people always say japs don't talk like anime and learning by anime alone is going to be extremely hard and leave you illiterate. It sounds like something I would see in the Ken-sama pasta

>クラクション

>blows into vagina

>>19069804
>as people always say japs don't talk like anime
They speak Japanese in anime. Some characters have their speech quirks but it's very easy to spot those

>learning by anime alone is going to be extremely hard and leave you illiterate
I wouldn't say it's hard, just time consuming. You won't be able to read but learning to read is much easier if you already know the language

>>19069836
>I wouldn't say it's hard, just time consuming
It's hard because you have to learn grammar by ear. If you already know grammar it would be way easier.

Should I hire a tutor? I have comorbid ADHD inattentive type and high functioning Fetal Alcohol (spectrum disorder) that make it difficult for me to retain information. To be specific, I don't have too much trouble building on ideas and foundations that I've already acquired, but for language learning where creating a new framework for thinking and percieving the world is a necessity, I fail pretty hard.

I've tried taking a college course on elementary Japanese, but it moved way too quickly for me, and I was forced to withdraw to preserve my GPA. I don't consider myself stupid in spite of my disability, but I clearly can't take the standard approach to language learning. Would a tutor be able to hold my hand, at least until I've build a solid foundation?

Even if I were to talk to someone, what do I gain from sounding any better than the bare minimum for to them to understand me?

>>19071932
you gain the benefit of not sounding like a complete retard

>>19071932
I know this might be hard to grasp, but people often seek more than surface level connections with each other and being able to convey your thoughts in a more coherent, in-depth manner allows for that.

dont worry about it if youre actually conversing regularly youll iron it all out yourself

people will randomly burst out laughing in the beginning though

Tae Kim says 間 is used for spans of days among others, but I don't see this kanji with days on Japanese YouTube
he mentions >一日 （いちにち）
but then he says >十五日間 （じゅうごにちかん）

is the span thing used for numbers higher than 10 or how does that work?

>>19072144
No look at 数日間. That's for a time span below 10 days.

>>19072241
Has anyone who's either lived in Japan or talked to a lot of Japanese people accidentally tried to say English idioms in Japanese? I know that you can't directly translate most of them and that they would have no meaning anyway, but I was wondering if it's so ingrained into our patterns of speech that anyone has done it by accident.

I like rap but Japan somehow manages to make it sound gay as fuck.

>>19072537
When I was over there I hung out with some nip rappers i met on the street. They were pretty cool and they sounded good too.

So just started for about 2 weeks, I set a plan for myself to first learn the vowels from Hiragana, then at another "consonant" everyday (ex. day 1: a,e,i,o,u - day 2: ka, ke, ki, ko, ku)

I've learned the k+vowels and s+vowels, and want to learn t+vowels next but find the initial ones are harder to remember and that many of the characters have a similar writing style but have no relation in sound like 'ki' and 'sa'

My usual studying methods in a day takes around 3 hours, where I copy the hiragana and then use and hiragana to Romanji app to quiz myself.

Is this an effective way to learn? or are there any suggestions of how I can possibly improve? (btw I'm a girl and a visual learner if that helps.)

>>19072574
Sounds way too complicated for hiragana. Just use the anki deck and practice strokes. I was done in less than a week. It helped to go over the Tim kae hiragana section and get some information. Also I used both a basic hiragana deck without any of the combinations and a full one.

>>19072576

In this picture, I'm having problems with the 「かこうかな」. There's so many potential meanings for かこう and I'm not sure what applies best here in the context of 'This little girl thinks I'm evil because I don't have eyebrows'. Thanks for the help.

Hi.

Let's say I wanted to make a living as an English novelist and hopefully go down in history as a great writer.

Is studying Japanese a bad choice of hobby? Is the only way to gain any Japanese skill to do "all Japanese all the time" and dedicate my life to the language as Khazumoto says? Or is it possible to put a small amount of time into Japanese and achieve enjoyment, without it adversely affecting my skills at writing in English?

I guess what I'm asking is, both writing a great novel and learning Japanese are herculean tasks. Is it bad to try and take on two herculean tasks at the same time?

>>19072917
dont stress over your first book its going to suck anyway

great authors dont churn out masterworks with the first thing they ever wrote

as for nihongo just do what you wanna do

hope that helps

I'm currently working on a novel in English and am studying Japanese somewhat casually.

I can say that yes, it's possible to do both, and I believe doing them in tandem is beneficial in some ways. But I do have a couple of advantages: 1) I do not have a day job, and 2) I took 3 years of Japanese about 15 years ago and have traveled to Japan 6 times.

Both of these are indeed significant challenges, but if you are passionate and disciplined, they are absolutely achievable.

You're aware that it's possible (and customary) to reply directly to posts, right?

maybe it was just a general statement

any point in learning particles by themselves? or will it just come with learning the grammar anyway

>>19073129

>>19073172
sure and sure

>>19073172
You should look into them so you know the basics, then the details will become clear to you more or less automatically as you learn the language.

>>19073172
You will never know the actual difference between が and は

>>19073228
Tim Kae's section on that is pretty shit. It's one of those things where he's more concerned with arguing semantics about how it's taught than actually teaching it.

>>19073228
It becomes intuitive after a while

>>19073228
the difference is が is a lot more things than は is

there you go dude fuckin easy boom

guys can you post 20 new useful words so I don't have to read before doing my reps today

>>19073228
は isn't a subject marker and it can only act anything like a case particle at all in fixed expressions
