yoshi time for reading

I FUCKING MISSED YOU GUYS

i was so scared that djt was gone for good this time

How do you start practicing listening? I could "just do it" but there must be an optimized starting method. I was thinking to read something on ((LingQ)) (or anything with text and speech), make sure I know all the words, then start listening to it until I get the next reading down.

On questions asked that use "dore (どれ)", like "Anata no cizu wa dore desu ka?", do you still reply with "dore"?

>>19896810

>>Meant "Anata no chizu wa dore desu ka".

>>19896825
no you meant "anata no tizu wa dore desu ka"

Can you guys recommend me a good locale emulator?

>>19896799
you gain very little from listening when you already know what is said
you learn from having a need to understand what you are taking in
listen to something you can figure out without reading beforehand, and don't worry about understanding every line, just keep consuming more material

どれのつかいかたはわかるんだけど

どれとどののちがいはよくわかんない

>>19896837

>>anata no tizu wa dore desu ka

Doesn't "chizu (地図)" mean "map"?

>>19896838
Have you even read the guide? There's a a whole section about changing to Japanese locale. Here's a DL from there https://mega.nz/#!kTon1BYS!kqzOCGX-w6zN6fj2Rpxy6lievOTz-ZcLjW2Rih157cg

>>19896838
yeah changing your actual locale
ntleas seemed to be the best option outside of that but i gave up on locale emulation

>>19896843
it does indeed why did you quote me

>>19896843
no it means cheese (cheese)

>>19896799
TV with Japanese subtitles.

Another day spent not knowing Japanese

>>19896874
Does that exist? I've been flipping through the channels and all I see with subtitles are variety shows and only when the people mumble with a dialect.

>>19896799
> I could "just do it"
then just do it, your idea of how to do it is not only dumbest shit I've written all day but also vastly inferior to just listening

HelloTalk is shit and doesn't work, how do I practice production now?

>>19896893
>then just do it
Read the rest of the sentence.

>Your idea is [the] dumbest shit I've written
You don't even know English.

>Listening to things comprised of words you know is vastly inferior to listening.
You don't even know logic.

>>19896907
you dont know how language is acquired so how exactly are you determining what is logical

>>19896890
http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F

I don't have Netflix, but I heard they also put Japanese subtitles on their shows.

>>19896581
Appologies in advance for the dumb question:
With regards to that OP image - is there really some emulation tool that makes characters so clear and readable in emulated games as in that op pic?

I tried playing with filters but obviously there is only so much a filter can do.

きょうのこくご

>フレーバーテキスト

いみはなんとなく

>>19896926
filters are shit why don't you just embrace pixels
i think vba has the widest selection of filters ive seen and i would assume it's used in the op pic but i don't know for sure because i love pixels
you probably aren't going to find a solution that isn't a built-in filter

>>19896923
Explain to me, oh great guru of language learning (you've already learned English, I see): What is the difference between listening and listening [sic]? Because you seem to be implying there is one.

>>19896925
Oh shit I forgot all about this, thanks.

>>19896939
i looked at the op pic after posting this lol disregard that part

>>19896940
youre right it sounds pretty stupid when you take relevant words out of the sentence shit fuckin owned him

>>19896967
What's the difference between "listening" and "listening to things comprised of words you know the definitions of"? If you really have no answer then just admit it instead of stalling.

>>19896838
https://pooi.moe/Locale-Emulator/

>>19896978
the word "just" was also there which, if you are familiar with the language of english, implicitly contrasts with the extra words in the other given option

>>19896985
Stop stalling.

>>19896989
that was actually the answer to your question would you like to ask another

>>19896990
You're such a little bitch, you make a claim that someone is wrong then you refuse to explain any reasoning behind it and instead masturbate to yourself while bring up semantics that you could easily just touch on in the explanation you refuse to give.

>>19896996
i didnt make the claim actually i just jumped on your idiotic semantics bullshit response to the other dude
ill put words in your mouth for what you appear to be expecting an answer to i hope i get it right
>what is the difference between listening to something i already know and listening to something new
you acquire language by forcing your language center (subconscious) to pay attention to try to get information out of the speech
if you have the information your brain slacks and you get far less benefit

>>19896799
Audibooks.
Play audibook at the same time as you read the book. Set audioplayer's hotkeys for pause and quick rewind for when you want to listen to the sentence again.
After you finished a chapter by this reading+listening - upload that chapter onto your mp3 player and listen to it during your commute, now without text .

for starters the cornucopia in OP-guide has "graded readers" very short, easy to read stories that come with the audio-recording
https://mega.nz/#F!3gVW3Shb!8qXZG8BF8vMGxCF6EEuMmQ!y0FEQRBI

It is somewhat expensive though as I couldn't find japanese audiobooks （朗読） on torrents so have to buy them on audible.co.jp (they used to be free-to-listen however much you want with a monthly subscription but now this subscription only gives you 1 token a month to get one book a month with).
First month of audible is free, meaning you get one book for free for registering (they took 1 yen of my card for registration) so try that out or just look through catalog before registering.

By the way - is anyone here using Perfect Dark? Do they have 朗読 there?

Learning Japanese is fun!

>>19896849

Because you wrote "tizu". In any case, while you're asked and hear "dore", do you respond with "dore" or not?

>>19897040
ti ci chi tyi, it's just romanization variance. i think you'd say kore/sore/are depending on distance to you and the asker. why are you asking how to respond to questions at this stage? unless you're going to be in japan soon, just focus on understanding and worry about responses later.

>>19897075

Okay, thanks.

>>19896799

Where can I get guides for JP only RPG's?

>>19897261
Google

>>19896907
>You don't even know English.
articles in English are fucking retarded and nobody cares about them outside of you Anglos who cling on to petty things

>>19897279
Spoken like a true nigger. You may be an ESL, but don't be a nigger.

>>19897273
Tried that, didn't get any results. Even after searching in Japanese, I'm not getting any worthwhile results. I'm looking for a guide on

I can't believe this isn't a porn game
if I went to the local store and bought this game thinking it was porno I would be pretty fucking upset to say the least

>>19897040
Dore is a question, you can't use it to state something.

>>19897329
It's pretty much the reason why it didn't get translated.

gochuumon wa nuke deska?

>>19897352
They could have just tweaked the title, it's not like translators nowadays are much worried about being loyal to the source material anyway

>>19897368

>>19897240
Thank you! This is amazing.
Did someone uploaded their collection in this general earlier?

>!
faggot retard. it's from this guy's discord.

Is anki even necessary to learn japanese?

>>19897558
Yes.

>>19897558
No.

>>19897558
i proved last thread that it is indeed necessary for most people:
>>19893788
>>19893991

>>19897558
Can you repeat the question?

>>19897558
Maybe.

>>19897572
This has less to do with some nebulous smartness and more with personal interest.
I too have struggled with some books and VNs I tried first, crawling at a slow pace and dropping them until I found ones that engaged me, making it easy to spend entire sat-sun - 12 hours each with minor breaks, just reading.

"Compelling" is the most important part of that "Reading compelling content" meme people keep repeating here - a single weekend spend entirely with compelling text can give one more progress than a year of anki-droning.

>>19897667
that sucks for me. it's going to take about 6 months for anything to become compelling.

>>19896841
どれはどいつ
どのは場所といろんな物を言及する
まあ、大分にその２つは自由で構いなく同じ状況で使うのであんまりちがいがない

>>19897671
>it's going to take about 6 months for anything to become compelling
Think with your penis and you'll be fine.

Is there any anki decks that focuses on differences between i.e. 務める　努める　勤める?

If there isn't, I'd just make my own cards based on http://www.tofugu.com/japanese/japanese-homophones/ but I don't know how complete this list is.

>>19897787
These are not homophones but one word. Different kanji correspond to different nuances of meaning. Same with 見る, 観る and 診る

>tfw no furigana in real life

>>19897787
chigai-allguide.com is a good site (jp only, though) for these nuance differences.
With your example, for example:
https://chigai-allguide.com/努めると勉めると勤めると務める/

Even Japanese can't read kanji.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD8HOxPs4Xvsm8H0ZxXGiBw/live

>>19897778
won't work. I'm going to try upping my anki time to two hours a day and reducing my reading time to 1 hour a day and see how I like that.

>>19897833
If you are unable to think with you penis you can't learn Japanese.

>>19897677
じゆうだよね

あたしもそうおもう

でもおかしい文はやっぱりおかしいなあとも

おもう

>>19897796
I know that, I want to learn the different nuances and make sure I know the different Kanji that can be used.

>>19897830
Thanks. Too bad that it seems like hell to work through if you're not looking for specific words. A site that just lists them and links closer explanations would be perfect, haven't been able to find anything like that though.

>>19897830
http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/yomi/yomi.html
What level can you reach?

Went thru the 1000 most common Japanese words. Now I'm gonna selectively learn shit from the Core Deck that I stumble upon in my reading. I.e. I see a word a few times, so I will look for it in the Deck and tag it for study. No more learning of 10 words with 上 or 下 in the row.
This way Anki will actually feel like fun, I'm looking forward to it unlike when I went thru totally pre-made deck with totally pre-made order of things.

> I see a word a few times, so I will look for it in the Deck and tag it for study
Just scrap Core and mine shit.

>>19897965
yea I've been doing something similar with vncore.

>>19897984
How many hundreds of posts have you made in these threads over the past, say, two weeks?

>>19897994

What a terrible fucking post.

I just finished genki 2 with my teacher, He recommends to stop using traditional textbook study and start reading random articles and stuff online and figure stuff out as we go. But i still feel like I'm not ready and heard good things about tobira.. what do you guys think?

How come there's no kanji for "penis"?

>>19898383
..but there is

>>19898362
Listen to your 先生. He sounds like one of the rare few who is actually interested in getting you good at the language and isn't just after your money. Suggest reading read something interesting like manga instead though (not only is it more fun, but you'll get to learn colloquial Japanese as well).

>But i still feel like I'm not ready and heard good things about tobira..
Tobira is entirely in Japanese. If you're not ready for reading news articles on the internet then you're not ready to learn about Japanese grammar in Japanese. I don't even see what the point of Tobira is since if you can understand it then you shouldn't even have any need for it.

Relevant video:
https://youtu.be/G5IPArDxO40

>>19898407
What is it then?

I know that this kind of goes against the DIY approach of /djt/, but does anybody know of any good Japanese language classes I can take online? I'm open to enrolling as a part-time student at a university somewhere, but I'd have to be able to take all the classes online. None of the schools within driving distance of me offer anything but basic intro classes.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm finding that I just don't learn very well without a structured curriculum and I have a hard time remaining motivated without some outside force giving me assignments and imposing deadlines, so I figure enrolling in an online program would help keep me engaged.

>>19898383
根
that ones basically penis just put it after another kanji to see its penis

The post above is a reddit repost.

>>19898465
>that ones basically penis
No it isn't. No more than 茎 is.

I mean a kanji which carries only the meaning of "penis" and has no other nuances, like 膣 for "vagina".

>>19897994
About 20% of the djt posts are by me

downloaded the latest Anki version by accident
god is that new version fucking shit, they even fucked up the Browse window

DO NOT TRY IT
I wonder when we will be forced to update to it

The post above is a reddit post.

>>19898458
You don't learn languages by doing assignments and taking tests, you learn them through thousands of hours of exposure. If your class isn't basically just guided reading then it's a waste of time and money and will never teach you Japanese.

>>19898498
This. Language isn't a very concious thing. It happens on a deeper level. You can spend a lifetime and get no where or spend a few years immersed and be fluent.

>>19898498
I'm aware. As I was trying to explain in my post, I want a class because I think it will keep me motivated. When I was attending university studying computer engineering, I was always feeling motivated to do all sorts of home programming projects and such, and I never felt at all like I had to force myself. I'm hoping I can recreate that for my Japanese studies by going through a Japanese course.

>>19898383
𠄏 and 𢆴

Also 屌

ummmm 凸 dude xd

why is it で and not に? it's like

right?

>>19898716
ugh the second I posted it I got an idea, is it used as "means of doing something" kinda like in Tae Kim 日本語で書く　or 　箸で食べる
is it like
>living/existing (いる) by means of being healthy/well/genki
?

kanji look dissimilar to me but who cares if i can't even remember the reading/word associated with it. fuck this dumb language

>>19899060
You will never learn Japanese give up

>>19899062
i will and nothing you say can stop that but it's just gonna take so much effort that it bums me out.

Look at this handsome motherfucker.
That gracious 丷 kanmuri, the 王 which evokes feelings of stability and control, the 我 which feels so good to write with its short sweeping strokes, all of which combine to symbolize righteousness and morality.
It's the perfect kanji.

If you can't find your own motivation Japanese is not the language for you

鬱 is the best kanji, I thought we went over this already.

your moms the best kanji

>>19899180
I remember this kanji as an urn buried in the woods with sacrificial wine as libations and hair cut in mourning.

just remember it as the haruhi kanji : )

That's not 祟.

a wizard can't cast his spells without 8 hours of sleep and an hour of study in preparation, and that's supernatural powers. how can you possibly hope to learn nihongo without at least doing that much? make sure you're resting your body properly and studying at least a little bit every day.

Lucky guy. I've been doing AJATT for over a decade and I can still barely say anything besides まあ.

That's pretty extreme but I do think pure immersion (reading/listening) is less efficient for beginners than immersion+study.

Keep going, you're just learning without realizing it.

if you were making a serious question and not just jokeposting then i apologize here's your real answer: と思う and と言う are set phrases that go at the end of quotes and phrases to mean something along the lines of "i think" and "he said/she said/whatever makes sense" respectively.

>>19899497
thanks. I knew about と言う but not と思う. and yomichan doesn't detect it as an expression/phrase for some reason.

>>19899509
how depressing.

>>19899517
it's not a bad thing. now I know what it means and will remember it.

>>19899509
that's okay. just remember that if yomichan doesn't pick something up and you have a feeling it could be a set phrase, it might be a better option to google or ignore it completely and move on

>>19899517
>>19899521
also if you're comment is basically saying it's sad how I couldn't put two and two together because of the similarities between the two phrases then that's fair. I even knew と was a quoting particle and still wasn't sure.

>>19899509
と思う is N5 grammar.

>>19899538
My comment was on your whole attitude towards the language in general.

>>19899542
this is what weeks of reading gets you.

There is an app you can get for tablets/phones called like reading practice japanese. It's god tier mode for reading the news and even has a bunch of childrens stories and stuff for beginners in there. Nothing I've found has been nearly as helpful for reading.

Why the two sites and what is the difference if any?

A trick is to learn to feel the kanji as you learn them. You don't even have to translate the word as it comes up just know the jist of it and then learn the Japanese word and move on before you do damage to it with too much english.

>>19899077
look at THIS handsome motherfucker

The two 木's on either side of the 缶, representative of an outhouse situated in the middle of the woods on those long camping journeys... The most depressing shit you'll ever take in your life.
the 鬯+彡 which combine to represent my great country of the United States of America... One nation under a 冖 crown of glory, because we are the best.

29 strokes form this Kanji, which is the same number of strokes as most of my fellow countrymen have had...

God bless America.

>>19900225
The best is when it's something you can actually picture in your head and you can skip the english entirely.

>>19900230
>The two 木's on either side of the 缶

You'll naturally pick it up as you progress, trying to remember something like >>19900364 does nothing but hinder your ability to actually understand the language in a natural way

why doesn't someone just make a complete vocab deck. seems like stopping at 3k is a waste of time.

>>19900496
The point is there's 0 benefit in wasting time trying to understand English explanations of connotational differences that are likely going to be awkward, incomplete, or even flat out wrong. Especially something as simple as the original question - if you just know that both phrases mean the speaker likes something, the difference in how they are used should be readily apparent by the time you've finished a few chapters of yotsuba or something.

>>19900498
ニッポン語

>the difference in how they are used should be readily apparent by the time you've finished a few chapters of yotsuba
I've read way, way more than this and don't understand nuanced differences between anything. Either I'm a complete retard (possible) or reading helps clarify differences for those who can already read pretty well. Beginners are taking in too much information at once to be able to notice those kinds of things.

They do already, it's called "reading"

Once you have 3-5k words under your belt you should be more than equipped to start learning independently.

>>19900560
ill never be able to read

Damn, there used to be a time where all nip stuff was just incomprehensible drawings to me and were so alien. Now they're pretty fun to learn. Guess I got mind broken.

>>19900558
You're either underestimating your own abilities, or overestimating how much actual understanding can be gained through reading explanations written in English by users of a cartoon message board

i remember when i remember when yotsuba too

>>19900558
The thing is, as you understand more, the number of things you don't understand continuously becomes less and less.

At the start, NHK EASY is gonna be overwhelming because you're gonna see like 80% new shit. After a few months, you'll only be seeing like 1-3 new words/Kanji a day using it. Then when you move up to something like TBS NEWS you'll have to start all over, 80% new shit. After some months of that, you'll be back where you found yourself, only finding a handful of new words/grammar things a day. What's miraculous is that every day you're gonna be able to do slightly more, and spend more time with Japanese using less effort. Brain's gonna get tired of the bullshit and either A) give up B) get good.

No matter what, there's gonna be a wall at the start. You've just gotta chip away at it until you're not gaining much from it, then find the next wall and do the same to that one. That's all language learning is. Take it from an ESL who STILL finds weird shit I don't know in English from time to time, but I just don't argue with it anymore.

I always have trouble deciding on a new thing to read after I finish something. LNs feel like the best study material to me because you don't have to download or install anything, but the ones at my level are ecchi bullshit and the ones that look interesting are above my level. What's a nerd to do?

>read for a week
>only words i learned were 学園長 and 地震
>anki for a week
>learn like 50-100 words that are actually useful and i encounter a lot but just couldn't memorize in context because i was looking up everything

>>19900786
Learning words from reading becomes much more effective if you have a bigger knowledge base to begin with.

>>19900786
>read things
>put words I don't know on flashcards
>review them
>re-read those same things later the same day
>re-read them again the next day
>know them

This is typically how it's worked for me.

Oh, and those old anime from the late 80s and early 90s like Ranma which aired for 100+ episodes are worth a look too since they give you a lot of consistent material to slog through.

I've been doing LOTS OF READING AND LISTENING for two months now, when do I start getting better? Steve promised me improvement.

>>19902044
mining will help you. it helped me. and i might start mining sentences because i think they'll help stop/mitigate my tendency to translate everything into english while reading.

>>19902044
If you've been doing hours of reading every day you should already be aware of a notable improvement with regard to intuitive comprehension compared to when you were in the textbook phase. Maybe you have unrealistic expectations about how fast your improvement should be so you aren't appreciating what you've accomplished thus far.

>>19902044
Are you day dreaming while doing it? Are you actively engaging with the content and staying in a state of interest? You could just be getting good at ignoring Japanese.

>>19902055
Shit you're right, I do have far better comprehension as far as grammar goes and I have less of a need to translate into English assuming I know all the words.
My beef is that I've made virtually no progress in the amount of words I know.

>>19902065
Right now I'm reading some weird anime CD about the fight between Lucifer and the angels, it's chuuni as fuck.

>>19902055
Not him but I hope you're right that I'm understanding things better and just not realizing it. I know I've heard from multiple people that it took them 8-12 months of reading and listening every day for them to really start to feel the nihongo and understand most of it intuitively in the media they were consuming so I should wait until then before complaining. Thanks dude you're the best.

>>19902072
as in you've got audio+script? mind posting that? I need something else besides this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKPtKdH-_q8
also if anyone knows where I can find other drama CDs with scripts let me know.

>>19902073
Yea if you're doing it full time (at least 8 hours per day) it's about 6 months of listening to be able to listen, and 6 months of reading to read comfortably. A year sounds right. I'm 3 months into listening and getting pretty good at it already.

I feel so bad when i have a retention ratio for matured cards below 90%, what would you guys say is the best retention rate on anki?

Almost 2/3 through the month and I've only watched 4 hours of anime. I'm falling off the wagon. I can't find anything I really want to rewatch. I'm trying Tokyo Ravens and True Tears, but neither one is really making me want to keep watching.

>>19902147
Anything less than a 100% on a matured card is proof that flash cards can't teach you a language.

He has a bit of accent still. I'll surpass them both. Matt is overrated asf too. There are thousands better than him. He just did it pretty quick and has pretty decent kanji writing. I'll be reading as good as him in probably a couple more months.

Khatz has one of the fastest times on aqusition ever. His secret boils down to doing everything he normally did but in japanese. He said he even took his notes for college in japanese if he could. So food for thought to all of the people affraid to type japanese here. Plus what better than a place full of VN nerds who can correct you.
