Reminder to set your Interval Modifier to 150%

>>20200160
what does that do

>>20200195
The default ease of an Anki card is 2.5 which means if your cards interval is 10 days and you hit "Good" on it then you'll see it again in 2.5*10=25 days. So 25 is the new interval but you can change that equation a bit. If you set Interval Modifier to 150% then it becomes 1.5*2.5*10=37 days. Why do you want a bigger interval? Well because that means your reps get more spread out and you have less work to do daily. But also seeing a card less frequently means your retention will drop and you will fail more cards and that will create extra work for you. You want to find the best balanced between that positive factor and that negative factor. And it's 150%

How do you translate "fuck niggers" in Japanese without using ファック or ニガー?

I'm now finding just watching things in Japanese with subtitles is a great way to learn. I'm dropping Anki after more than a year of using it. I'm done. Finished. NO MORE.

I'm surprisingly fast at drawing kanji so looking up stuff I don't know isn't a big deal.

I think I'm gonna make it guys! No more Anki just immersion for me!

>>20200203
forgot pic

I've been here since 2014 and have never seen anybody ever learn Japanese. Only person that's claimed too was a fag from Finland that got raped by his mom or something and that was 2015.

nobody's ever going to "see" anyone learn Japanese here, what do you think this place is?

i'm sure at least a few people from our active and lurking populace are decent enough to say "i know japanese" and not make a fool of themselves in the process of backing it up, but that doesn't really get you any attention because becoming relatively skilled in a language is about as impressive as not breaking any bones for 3 years

>>20200445
>I think seeing the difference in our ability had a big effect on him
Couldn't be the fact you've probably been studying ten times as long as he has. The fact he could read and in record time says a lot. He probably didn't care alot about conversating. People get good at what they want to do. He now has the vocab though so he could work on aquisition and shit on any of his "students" fluency speeds. He's pretty much shitting on a guy using his own methods too. He just didn't immerse as much.

>>20200504
This. The discovery of this guy's channel was the worst thing to ever happen to DJT. Even worse than Jamal's never ending shitposting.

Every fucking thread is just "Matt this, Matt that", "Nuke this, Nuke that", Yogapants, and all his other fucking followers. Can we please just have one thread that isn't instantly derailed into this stupid e-celeb gossip?

Can I see the math behind that? My retention is currently at about 92%.

>>20200564
You should make it harder till you get to 75% like me and max your absorption

>>20200564
there is no math behind it, they're pulling it out of their ass, it's based on a simulation that doesn't take how exposure effects retention chance into account

>>20200619
Exactly, I've been saying that forever. Time and focus are a huge part of your %. I flip through mine pretty quick now. I used to take like 70 seconds per card now it's like 5-15 seconds. So many other factors when it comes to focus and whatnot too.

>>20200745
Listening is more valuable than ankidroning

Having 10 minutes of comprehensible audio on repeat the whole day is going to see more gains than any amount of Anki reps

anki tweaking is fucking pointless if you actually read and listen which m a tt doesnt do because hes a poser just like anyone that learns for the culture lol but doesnt enjoy anime

>>20200822

it's kinda funny how Matt doesn't want to speak Japanese on his channel because a gaijin talking to other gaijin is "cringe" but when he talks to nips it's actually ichiban tsuyoi cringe

>>20200765
I did over a year of watching raws and I only learned maybe 200 words. I just recently found out about anki and I can now understand thousands within 4-5 months. It's not about one being better than the other it's about both being great at what they do. I'm sure the listening made my anki go better and vice versa. It doesn't have to be anki but you do have to do something to get the vocab into your head at the start.

third times the charm lol

>>20200887
The whole point of repetitive audio is to make it so you don't have to think about what you're hearing.

Let's be real, there's only so many ways any given sentence can go in any language. If you already have a good grasp of grammar and vocab, but struggle to listen to it, you just need to find examples of sentences including those things and listen to those bad boys on repeat. Do not Anki them. Put them on while driving, at the store, repeat them out loud when not around people to avoid looking like a weirdo. If you work a job that lets you listen, you're in the fucking money and can probably do this at 2x the speed of anyone else.

After the first 500 or so you'll notice the effects. After 2000-3000 you'll probably be ok to stop doing it entirely, assuming you've chosen ones that are reasonably challenging but not overkill at any given time. Cycle out old stuff when it's embedded in your soul, but keep these on constant rotation on some cheap Amazon tier MP3 player or something.

Really this should be no different than vocab mining in reading, you're just making it easier to deal with a much harder thing.

The whole point of this is to make it easier for you to listen to raws and other shit you hear in the wild. If you have trouble listening, the only solution is to listen more, but listening to all different shit all the time is not going to help someone who literally has to stop and consider that について or と思います they just heard.

>>20200887
You're either lying or an idiot. If you'd actually done over a year of watching anime as comprehensible input, you'd have learned a lot more than 200 fucking words.

Might as well have stuck to subbed anime and done double time.

If you literally didn't look up any words while watching these raws I can see this but otherwise it's frankly unimaginable.

>>20200908
I did repetetive audio and it was pretty effective. Theres a spotify with deathnote audio on it you should check out. I played through it quiet a few times. I'm noticing huge listening improvements after building up my vocab on anki though because I've listened to japanese enough to relate it already. I'll keep mixing it up and seeing what works. I want to have a good core vocab and start going back to full time listening and reading and see how that goes.

I'm never going to enjoy manga again, am I?

>>20200979
what don't you get?

>>20200983
I was probably getting some subconcious stuff but conciously it wasn't very much. At first I couldn't even here the words to look anything up and I eventually got to a point where I could understand all of the sounds and tones, but I needed vocab. Thank god I found anki bc it's accelerating the hell out of my learning and exactly what I was missing.

>>20200999
Oh shit, I get it now. Thanks for helping me become slightly less retarded.

>>20200935
>They'll think you're smart but that's nothing to them
hahahahaha *inhales deeply* AHAHAHAHAHA I didn't know he also tips fedoras.

Am I right in assuming that since Japan is pretty anti-piracy, there's no real 'best' site for getting raws from Japan? The best sites I can find are Western-run and all the Japanese sites I have bookmarked are either free to read anyway or their licensing has expired. I've been trying '[name] DL' on Google JP on something I'm looking for and have had no luck. I can't buy the Kindle version on Amazon JP because my debit card won't work before anyone roasts me for being a poorfag.

>>20201011
So you just sat in front of the cartoon, no subtitles, and didn't bother to pick out what they were saying or god forbid look up anything you didn't understand in jisho or google? What made you think this would teach you Japanese?
No shit you didn't learn anything, language learning doesn't happen through magic. How the fuck did you even keep this up for over a year?

What you're missing is a brain.

「でも、知ってるか？　命という漢字の中には、叩くという漢字が含まれているんだぜ」

「意味がわかりませんっ」

「命は叩いてこそ光り輝くってことさ」

>>20201068
>or god forbid look up anything you didn't understand in jisho or google? What made you think this would teach you Japanese?
This actually does work though

>>20201059
What are you looking for? you can often find raw manga ddl just by searching the name (in japanese) plus an archive file extension.

That's usually the most plentiful source so if you can't find anything though that or nyaa, you're probably going to have to get a card that works on JP websites.

>>20201068
I watched 3 hours of childrens shows every day so yea I thought it would work if it was designed for little kids. I learned all the parts of the body, the days of the week, numbers, and that type of stuff. I did look up words occassionally too. I'm saying it was just insanely slow compared to something like anki. For where I was at in my studies anki was a game changer. God bless it. I'll be low level fluent in about 6 more months hopefully.

>>20200435
i've never broken any bones in my life. praise me

>>20201101
So you learned on average one new word every 5 hours? You're either underestimating how much you learned or overestimating how much you actually watched.

>>20201088
Are you saying looking things up in google and jisho works? Because that's what that post is saying.
Eng subtitles also work because you can listen to the jp audio and use the subtitles as a hint for your comprehension.
But listening without a good foothold on the language and making a half assed effort to comprehend it is going to get you nowhere.

>>20201101
You were on the right track. You just need to keep stepping it up a notch, watch big boy cartoons, look up everything you don't understand.

>>20201089
I know it sounds dumb, but I've been on a wholesome slice-of-life kick recently and a manga called しばたベーカリー was advertised in one I was already reading. It's possible it's just not very popular and no one has uploaded it, but I was wondering how to maximise my success in finding manga in the future.

>>20201107
After the childrens shows I watch sumo wrestling and the news too. At night drama shows, etc. I got really good at figuring out what was going on but it was like a little kids understanding. I didn't start understanding english news till I was like 10 years old so same hold true in other languages. Maybe a little less bc of the knowlegde in the other.

>>20201115
No, I'm saying you can infer things from context and learn without ever looking up anything.

>>20201101
>I learned all the parts of the body, the days of the week, numbers, and that type of stuff.
That's your mistake, why do you need to know the word for waist at your level? Unless you're a gym otaku or something, learn words by frequency.

>>20201134
> learn words by frequency
this man is a corefag, do not listen to him

>>20200983
typical DJT here. tell people to do something stupid (fuck studying and anki, just immerse) then call people moron for just immersing and not looking up stuff (which is fucking studying).

>>20201143
You realize that by reading a lot you'll see more frequent words more frequently, right?

>>20201124
You can, but it's not very practical. I sure as hell didn't learn all the English I know that way and it's my native language.

I know Krashen pushes input as the only contributor to building language facilities, and he has that whole skit where he points to his head and says the word for head in German or whatever langauge, but it's really pushing it to discard all meta-learning from language acquisition. Sure your facilities for the language are not improved by simply learning a fact about what a word means, but knowing that fact can be a rapid catalyst for further language acquisition since it will improve your accuracy when you infer from context. It's essentially more context.

>>20201156
yeah, which is why you shouldn't spend too much time worrying if the word you picked up or mined are frequent or not, if your vocab is small most words you'll mine will be frequent enough to justify it, and if it's not then that's fine too because you'll at least be learning new readings and patterns.

>>20201155
you need to clock out buddy, i swear it's always you the same clown ass lowercase poster who still uses punctuation for some arcane reason coming in here and false flagging the thread to the ground

>>20201166
Wrong again, if you're reading and see a word that's obviously rare then you shouldn't worry about it unless you're advanced.

>>20201134
Waist is pretty high frequency though, the girls in my cartoons use it to talk about their bodies.

how do you say "twink" in japanese

マンコおとこ

>>20201172
i didn't and it turned out fine for me. even if something's usefullness isn't apparent at the time, i mined plenty of words which taught me certain prefixes and suffixes that i wouldn't have learned anyway, even then if you find a word that has a reading you don't know that's valuable on it's own as it's teaching you a reading. unless it's a gikkun or some retarded ateji you can always justify mining something. i remember really early on mining 咆哮 and was surprised how often i saw it after mining it.

>>20201177
女々しいな男

>>20201172
If you're not advanced you can't tell what's "obviously rare," so it's safer to just look up things you don't know. You're probably better off not mining them at first sight, but looking up "rare" words is not a bad idea because there's a decent chance they will be important to the meaning of the sentence, and a part of the context for what follows.

>>20200155
>（妖精弓手）ねえ
>今歌っていた冒険者だけど―

>Hey, that adventurer you were just singing about...

だけど is generally translated as "however" but i see it often only translated as
"...".

can one generally say だけど is "..." as sentence ending particle in japanese?

>>20201203
Just use voracious or a similar video player that lets you hover over a subtitle word and it pops up the definition. If a word is frequent enough, you'll learn it through immersion that way. If subtitles scare you, voracious blurs them out so you can't read them until you hover over it.

I'd better be fluent in that time with your methods /djt/, if silly AJATTers can do it then we should do it even faster right? One thing that is eerie is that there's no single person in these threads that would positively state with backup that that they are fluent after that kind of time.

>>20201258
>post by 4chan

>>20201220
It very often just connects to the next phrase without a contrastive meaning. が is the same way. Do not get it stuck in your mind as "but," I'm pretty sure any decent grammar guide covers this.

>>20201243
In this case it's exactly like the definition here, and also implies a continuation. The line punctuation also indicates this. The translation isn't off.
However there are other senses like 1(ア) here that do not imply a continuation.

You clowns need to watch more cartoons, けど has got to be close to the most frequently used particle in the language.

Pretty much any textbook works.

The reason why for example Reddit recommends
>Genki I
>Genki II
>An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese
>Tobira
>New Authentic Japanese: Progressing From Intermediate to Advanced
is, because it works. And jokes aside, 4 of those five books are published by the same company. And the only one which isn't, Tobira, is the perfect middle book.

The only thing important is that you have books which cover elementary Japanese, intermediate Japanese, and books, which introduce you to advanced Japanese.

You can also skip Genki completely and use minna no nihongo. Or you could skip the first three books and use
>Marugoto
>Tobira
>New Authentic Japanese: Progressing From Intermediate to Advanced

Or you could skip all those textbooks completely and use completely different textbooks.

For example I can tell you the first example works perfectly, but even then, I have seen a lot of people who liked minna no nihongo much more. The only thing I can tell you for certain is, that I don't know "Terry and May" and if you aren't required by a Japanese teacher (if you study Japanese) to use "Terry ans May" you should only use books a lot of people have used and approved, because if you have problems or questions, it's much easier to find an answer for "main stream" stuff, than something only a few people use.

The textbook is only meant to give you a way. You will spend 90 % of your time with Anki anyway. The only goal of a textbook is that you know where you stand and that you have a path to progress. Also textbooks are created with a lot of work which you don't have to do.

And the best thing of all, even if you are poor, itazuraneko for example gives you the opportunity to get all the textbooks you need for free.

you can't get knowledge from college. you're better off honing by ankidroning.

>>20201532
Don't do it, it's just a waste of time.
A friend of mine did it for one semester (I didn't because it cost money) and I had her show me the example sheets they got.
It's basically scans of genki and kanji exercises. They learned like 25 kanji in total. And some everyday phrases.

Glad I didn't do it.

>>20201532
it could be useful but you have to go the extra mile beyond just doing the class and utilize any bilingual faculty

basically you should be learning so far ahead of the class that you need to get the professors input on what to do beyond the scope of the course

Well yeah, but when you make a video on youtube about yourself reading then you'd read out loud, wouldn't you?

At least that's what I expect from a video titled "Let's read Japanese".
Not someone listening to drama and reading along the subs.
Not someone sitting there reading a book for 20 minutes saying nothing.

>>20201580
Can't disagree with your point since I would think a "let's read" would do the same. However, at least Nuke's doing something different and it makes it usable to others that are watching his video since they can read and listen to native audio as well. He tried reading stuff out loud and sucked at it. Now he's trying comprehension instead of production which he credits to 4ch among other things. I hope it works out for him.

Does he just not care? I don't like to shit-talk the guy since he already gets enough of that, but it honestly seems like he doesn't care and isn't even trying.

>>20201705
thats it its the disrespect its the ignorant gaijin disrespect

hes literally fucking japanese in the ass while the poor lady has to bear witness

also the content like makes that 100x more enjoyable than it should be

>>20201705
I think to him it might sound okay, his ears are too used to american english to hear mistakes in Japanese.
Just like how Japanese can't hear the difference between l and r.

It's very hard to overcome this.
I don't know how old he was when he started learning Japanese, but the older you get the more this becomes a problem.

>>20201718
im not masochistic enough to watch any solid portion of that vid but a good teacher would stop his retarded ass and make him pronounce at least one sentence correctly fuckin one syllable at a time like a toddler until he gets them all right

if tutor lady san didnt do that nuke should recall that money

doing that should definitely work on a guy like nuke chan unless hes confirmed learning disability it doesnt matter how old he is

you gotta drill the right way and you have to always do it the right way and then it becomes natural and you dont have to try to do it the right way anymore

a former serviceman like nuke chan knows what that shit means

>>20201718

>then we should do it even faster right?
if that were true someone would be vouching for DJT's methods and claiming greater fluency than ajatters given comparable amounts of time. doesn't happen. because DJT takes the kaufmann approach of "just have fun". which means no anki, no monolingual transition, no sentence mining, etc.

less stressful, but clearly the results are worse.

>>20201792
he doesnt know anything its very obvious from the long pause he cant even recite the sentence back in his head

never woulda thought someone would whiteknight nukes trash to continue trying to mislead people that shit like that is okay and is going to lead to any kind of proficiency

Stop shitposting about youtubers and read/watch some compelling content instead!

he has this one extremely pathetic follower that 'snitches' on whatever we write here to his master

>>20201809
It's probably Nuke doing the whiteknighting. He talks about us at the start of that video.

You guys are being more toxic toward Nuke than usual.

its not toxic i still like nuke chan

that shits just not okay dont do it or youll end up like him

period

It could always be worse. You could end up like Jamal.

legit question: he has a Jap wife, why does he buy services of Jap tutors if he can just talk to her for free?

wtf does this mean? I've been doing radical search on tangorin for like ten minutes and I have no clue what this shit means. It doesn't even show up in the radical search.

>>20201859
I found out a cool way to remember some more vocabulary reading NHK Easy. Just turn off the furigana and try reading the whole text without it. Once you guess a word well (switch furigana on and off to check) you can proceed, if you failed you have to read from the very beginning again.

PS How many articles do you usually read a day there?

>>20201809
I hope he'll at least keep reading for an hour or two a day and begin to realize he will be better off cutting down on his daily 2 hour anki reviews and getting more input instead

Probably already has his cult that doesn't need to watch his youtube videos. He might just have a few rich fags that make up most of that money.

Parts of that video are so insane. He says you can't have a full time job and should cut out your friends and family for YEARS to learn japanese. It does sound like a cult. You don't need to abandon your friends and family for years and survive on crackers since nobody can learn Japanese with a full time job to ankidrone an hour a day and instead of spending all your free time watching/reading English things switch to Japanese.

>>20201926

There's better things to watch than youtube.
It's best to spend as little time as possible there.

>a simulation that doesn't take how exposure effects retention chance into account

Exposure would only increase your retention rate. An increase in retention rate only make the optimal Interval Modifier even larger, which would still make 150% better than the default 100%

>>20202268
exposure within anki. not immersion.

>>20202276
I didn't mention immersion but thanks for bringing it up because that would also increase your R thus increasing your optimal IM

>>20202284
you clearly interpreted exposure as exposure via immersion rather than exposure within anki, because having higher intervals means less exposure and what you said doesn't make sense taking that into account

stop being dishonest

>>20201750
How can we save Nuke from himself?

Instead of No Fap November, he needs to do No Anki November or something. I think getting involved in ****'s community has only done him harm since he's now buying into all this stupid bullshit like sentence cards that he's taking 2 hours every day to review and passive listening which is a complete meme and doesn't even help at all. He needs to find a good book or VN or something that he can just sit and read normally for a few hours every day with none of this AJATT fluff getting in the way.

Just spend a couple months doing nothing but reading and (active) listening. No Anki or any other shit. Then when he's finally detoxed from his toxic study habits he can come back and use Anki again, but sensibly this time by doing simple readings cards which take him 20 minutes or less each day.

>>20202288
>having higher intervals means less exposure
But failing a card means more exposure and I already said your failure rate will go up

I still don't get how you went from
>Anki is making me do too many cards every day
to
>Let's have Anki make me do less cards every day
instead of simply doing less cards every day because you want to and aren't going to let an algorithm rule your life.

>>20201890
>I've been doing radical search on tangorin
well there's your problem

>>20202296
There's no saving someone who enjoys larping as a learner more than he does using the language.

>>20202299
increasing the interval modifier only increases exposure count if you see the card more times than if you didn't increase the interval modifier.................which doesn't happen and would also completely eliminate the reason why you want people to use a high interval modifier

stop digging your hole deeper

>>20202296
heres the real end of the nuke chan story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u3KAaU7kFs#t=111

>>20202316
You see it exactly the right amount it times. Anki's default settings teach you things very well but it's over teaching and over testing you to get you a very high retention rate.

>>20202337
that doesnt have anything to do with this tangent at all

i'm not dissing the idea of increasing your interval modifier, i'm dissing your specific result and the simulator you used to come up with it

>>20202307
fucking google

>>20202343
What you're talking about is just another way to modify your R. We've simulated various ways of modifying R on a per card basis and we've simulated across all possible R's and they give the same conclusion

>>20202353
data and code or it didn't happen

oh wait, it didn't happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>20202353
Bullshit. If you have 50% retention there's no way in fucking hell you're going to want to set your interval modifier to 150%.

>>20202353
Setting your review limit to a reasonable number instead of 9999 is a superior way to have Anki show you less cards per day.

>>20202369
congrats you managed to say something stupider than a compulsive liar

if you have too many reviews then add less cards / only add important cards that will become easy instead of drowning yourself in leeches

>>20202358
I'm more excited about you writing your own to cross validate. You'd be the fourth person to independently write one and come to a conclusion we cross validate with.

>>20202359
True... Anki's default settings are designed to give you a 90% R though so you'd have to be quite a retard for that to happen

ladies and gentlemen

flashtards

>>20202376
>I'm more excited about you writing your own to cross validate. You'd be the fourth person to independently write one and come to a conclusion we cross validate with.
in retrospect i don't know why i bothered trying to argue with an obvious troll
either that or you're delusional as fucking hell

>>20202374
I have auto-suspend set to on for leeches. Works perfectly, as expected of the default setting.

>>20202136
are these niggas 5? wtf

>>20202384
good choice man its almost like you're using anki how its meant to be used

>>20202384
Yea I figure if a card gets leech suspended I'll just learn it in contect while reading. Only ever happened with 3 words anyways.

Does anyone use either a text hooker or OCR program that isn't listed in the OP? I have very bad luck and can't get anything to work really. The only thing that works for me is KanjiTomo but it crashes after 1-2 searches. It means every 1-2 kanji I don't know, I have to kill it with Task Manager, wait for it to close, reopen it again and repeat. It's really slow and I don't want to limit myself to media that only has Furigana.

>>20202399
What OS are you on?

>>20202412
Windows 10. I tried Chiitrans as a VN hooker but it wouldn't work as it said my locale wasn't set to Japanese even though it was.

>>20202369
>Setting your review limit to a reasonable number instead of 9999 is a superior way to have Anki show you less cards per day.
Is this your first day using anki?

>>20202385
First day the tournament was for kids only, the other was for adults.

>>20202399
tomo works fine for me

>>20202436
I clicked on the kid video at first

>>20200619
noob here but what's this mean? i have the default settings, are those the best cuz this?

>>20202420
On Windows, sometimes simply changing the locale isn't enough and you have to change the time and date format to Japanese as well.

Been about 4 years since I used Windows, so I can't remember exactly how its done, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out if you dig around the language settings in the control panel.

The fact that KanjiTomo works better for me on Linux via Wine than it does natively for you on Windows suggests there is something very wrong on your end, I think. I occasionally get crashes with KanjiTomo, but the only part of the program which consistently doesn't work for me is the Zoom Frame feature.

>>20202381
Why'd this shit make me laugh

>>20202454
because im not funny and you didnt laugh

>>20202458
しね

>>20202462
you しね

>>20202443
It means you can spend more time on cards and get higher retention rates. There's no constant variable for time or the ammount of focus the person is doing so trying to balance things around arbitrary numbers is silly. Default setting do suck though but there is no perfect setup for everybody.

>>20202466
Go study Anki cards or something flashtard

>>20202470
>Default setting do suck though but there is no perfect setup for everybody

why do they suck? i'm not everybody is there a way to find best settings for just me?

the perfect setup is to throw your idiot cards in the garbage and watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaswzK4FM7U

>>20202501
my computer only has a recycling bin, no garbage

>>20202509
recycling ftw

>>20202487
Play with them. It depends how you use anki too. If you like to flip through quickly you'll want different setup than somebody who takes a min per card. You have to experiment, from deck to deck too.

>>20202602

>>20202602
but is it more ftw than watching 90s anime adaptations of 80s~90s shoujo manga

shoujo is good but you should move on to otome games asap

>>20202615
anime is still good but laying on your belly on your bed reading shojo manga is 最大win

>>20202624
watching anime in bed on your tablet is almost as comfy maybe moreso cause you don't have to turn page

>>20202632
no you dont understand reading shojo manga on your bed is about as win as twisting and twirling the curly telephone cord while you talk to your crush

btw i just realized you said tablet and fuckin almost got aids >_<

i guess its still better than no manga but you need some manga

>>20200160

Matthew, you only think that because you've been using it as wallpaper. You're supposed to read it.

>>20200912
I kinda believe him. Japanese is so fucking foreign that it's pretty hard to pick things up by just watching RAWs. You will be way faster if you start building vocabulary and probably basic grammar, while constantly watching RAWs. Even better would be if you speak it too. But outside of an actual foreign exchange or something this is pretty hard. Speaking on Skype is not the same, as having to get by in a country.

the whole plot with that creep from half way into the season makes zero sense. "hey dude, can i marry your comatose daughter?" "sure, i don't see why not. i mean there's probably laws against that, ya'know, 'consent' and the fact that she's not even a legal adult and all that, but whatever, go ahead." "thanks, i'm now going to proceed to lick and fondle her unconscious body in the presence of other people because... uh... i'm the bad guy and i guess that's what bad guys do"

>>20203090
Read compelling content like visual novels. Forget MemeHK News.

>>20203077
im not sure what you mean

>>20203095
maybe hes a political junkie and its compelling content to him

How do I find good manga? One piece and yotsuba are boring the hell out of me..

That's bizarre.

>>20203100
read/watch whatever made you want to learn Japanese in the first place, if you can't answer this question stop learning japanese

>>20203093
In latin alphabet the closest letters you will get are v/w and m/n

Typical weeb who knows nothing

>>20203164

>>20203164
if he was really good he wouldn't have hired a localization company to make the game japanese

So many kanji
So many readings
So few sounds

>>20203164
do japanese people really talk like this ???

>>20203167
>i just started learning a week ago

surely you must have some kind of background knowledge of japanese if you could read his message

i've only just gotten around to memorize most hiragana sounds and writing

but then again, i only have time to study for like 1-2 hours a day so i guess thats okay

>>20203211
i couldn't read any of his message. i just have an instinct about it

>>20203096
This is what I mean.

>>20203211
also started a week ago btw*

>>20203211
you should have finished memorizing hiragana six days ago

>>20203216
wonder how it feels to have your love letter upped to the internet
I bet this comes from leddit

>>20203216
i always wonder how that woulda played out if i didnt insta shit on it the first time it was posted

would djt have noticed

would that have become like one of the dead sea scrolls to djt

>>20203216
>get love letter
>can't read it
so much troll

i can see on the beta timeline some kinda pseudo djt where i use caps and punctuation everyone knows japanese and yet somehow everyone worships that letter

>>20203236
what a blast from the past.

>>20203216
How do I learn to write retarded handwriting like this.

>>20203220
im not autistic though

>>20203216

>>20203215
>i couldn't read any of his message. i just have an instinct about it

>>20203251

>>20203252
This anon aquired words 4 times as fast as ma tt did. He's low key jealous as fuck. He'd shit all over any of his "students".

>>20203260
>>20203263

>>20203314

how do I optimize anki to not be based around doing reps every fucking day

>>20203321

>>20203272
>ankidrones defending each other
sad, maybe if you spent time learning Japanese instead of getting triggered at Matt you'd know it by now

>>20203321
Set your maximum reviews per day to 0

How is having a rich vocabulary going to hurt you? You just listen to content and practice coversations afterwards and you're fluent in record time. It's just efficient.

>>20202984
This is an /a/ thread.

>>20203344

Aside from the grammar dictionaries, anyone got any book recommendations?

>>20203506
