Ok, I just can't do 20 a day apparently.

>>20564964
When I was doing Anki I was doing 500 cards in half hour. Not worrying about definitions just reading. My mining deck started getting ridiculous and I realized that since I knew all the common vocab it was pointless. Anki should just be a tool to get you started.

>>20565069
So when you were doing Anki you weren't actually doing it and thus you concluded it was useless.
Good job.

>>20565069
this guys got it figured out
>>20565096
this guy doesnt

>>20564964
imo just ride it to 2k and ignore the 6k after

to the new lads in these threads:

it's going to take about half a year before the groundwork for sentences start making sense since you need to build up a lot of vocab and grammar rules to get into your skull. just keep it at for a couple - few hours every day and you can do it

what do you consider the groundwork
should start at least feelin a basis with understandin easy sentences in your mangas after a few volumes of yotuba or whatever you choose instead if its not completely over your head
more important advice is to relax have fun dont obsess over the shit you dont understand be compelled by the shit you do understand and the nihongo will come
and dont spend more than an hour a day on anki

>>20565162
thanks senpai

>>20562755
You need to have at least a minimum set of known kanji say maybe 50 or 100 more common ones. I got them while reading grammar books, usually there are dialog sections for daily situations, this combined with seeing variety shows, anime and a bit of mining new kanjis.

The thing is to keep trying, you will eventually arrive at a version of yourself who knows japanese. How many time it will take? well It does not really matter, time will pass anyway :)

the groundwork is the foundation of the whole shindig, it's where you can really start building up without having to second-guess yourself more than twice a line. the hardest part of learning japanese is the second week, because that's when you start doubting yourself at your weakest

protip: if you wanna watch anime, use animelon and only use japanese subtitles, you can click on the words and glean their definitions. it won't be accurate some of the time, but context is all you need.

generally agree then

Anyone knows what's the japanese slang in videogames for being the one that does most if not all the work? Or the one that leads the team to victory?

I wouldn't mind being a weeb, but I don't know how.
I only started watching anime last year when I began learning japanese and reading manga since like 1 month ago.
I can't relate to anything in this board aside this thread.

I've spent way too much time autistically researching the best Anki addons and scheduler settings. Is there any need for a short guide on this?

>>20565795
Fair warning, it has like a billion unique words.

>>20565808
I'd love something like this. Especially the scheduler settings. After a year and a half of ankidroning it's clear to me the default settings are shit, but I'm too autistic to change them without research and too lazy to do the research myself.

>>20565808
someone made an addon that did it all that stuff automatically for anki 2.1 but apparently it caused sync errors for someone until they uninstalled it so ymmv
i was here when they posted it and apparently they only worked on it for a few hours so honestly its pretty impressive that it worked at all

>>20565841
Post a link or name of the addon

>Add-on was great for a while, I like the idea of what it does but unfortunately it kept causing sync errors that made anki pretty unusable so I had to uninstall it which fixed the issue.

>>20565866
I've came across that one
It doesn't incorporate all the changes I would make

>>20565878
what other changes would you make?

>>20565854
>Suggestions for the format?
I'd love to read some general theory on how Anki works, how does it presume human memory to work and how does human memory "actually" work, to justify tweaking the settings. By the way, does Anki save the statistics of answers out of the box, and if it does, how much of it?

>>20565902
anki doesn't actually know any of that, it's just a way of searching for the longest interval you can go without forgetting something

the supermemo and anki websites have a bunch of text about the supposed theory of how SM2 (anki's spaced repetition algorithm) works but it's complete bollocks

it does save that stuff out of the box. every single card-answering event you ever make is stored in the collection file, which is an sqlite database

>>20565902
anki is just tryin to clone supermemo and supermemo gives some theory of at least what they are tryin to do but you shouldnt take any of it as fact
if you want to know whats good or bad you should probably read papers and come to your own conclusions
anki stats are recalculated when you open the stats window from review history so that should give you an idea of whats stored
it saves a sqlite database entry every time you are shown a card and hit again easy good or hard
havent looked at the review history but the way cards are stored is a mess so dont expect a nice schema

>>20565902
It does, but the insight you can get from that is very limited. You can see for yourself in the statistics tab
>>20565888
Starting ease, better intervals after lapses, load balancing. Also the addons I'm using work together very well and don't cause any errors

>>20565922
Oh cool. With the statistics you can make some general assumptions about the function of probability to forget a card by the time since last review, either for the collection in general, for individual decks or adding some additional variables for cards (like number of relapses, or maybe number of relapses divided by time since the card first appeared), then with said assumptions you could determine the free variables using the statistics database, as long as you have a big enough deck with enough statistics, and then optimise the interval-choosing algorithm to maximise the rate of mature card number growth by the number of daily reps. That's what Anki devs should have done were they not drooling retards anyway.
Too bad I'm a lazy piece of shit who won't do anything. That sounds kinda fun.

>>20565970
anki's dev is one of the biggest drooling retards i've ever seen and supermemo's dev was driven literally insane by trying to analyze flashcard answer statistics so yeah

the best indicator for whether you're going to remember a card is probably the longest interval you've ever answered successfully with it

why use statistics when you can just train a shitty neural net and hope for the best isnt that the way of the future

spoiler: simple neural networks are literally statistical models

>>20565986
>supermemo's dev was driven literally insane by trying to analyze flashcard answer statistics
Story?

>>20565989
I've been thinking of this too, but the amount of training data a neural net needs to be effective makes this infeasible on your data alone.
Maybe if anons unite and collect that kind of data we could optimize our Ankidroning experience and become the perfect hivemind

>>20565999
read any part of the sm website and you will see the insanity seeping through the words and sentences he wrote, graphically
https://www.supermemo.com/help/faq/genius.htm

>>20566007
You should probably optimise algorithm parameters for people individually. Differences between how good people memorise shit will make any gains in precision from increased statistics pointless.

>>20566019
Language learing is roughly the same for everyone. There will always be slight differences, but not enough to justfy that.
Especially if all our data comes from autists in their 20s learning Japanese

>>20565997
but the magic of it you get shitty results for minimal effort and tell yourself more data will fix it
at least its better than puttin in a ton of work and bein disappointed
>>20566007
even assuming everyone is using anki in a similar way the variance in card quality and in the reading to anki balance of each user is a problem

>correct rate drops past %50 after I unsuspend 60 cards
Oh no /jp/ I'm not going to make it

>>20566028
no i mean like they're exactly the same thing, not the same kind of thing or derived in different ways, they're exactly the same, in creation function and form

>>20566028
Not a problem. We can restrict ourselves to Core and mining decks. Reading will be close to the average for everyone too, and outliers can be filtered

I'm so confused why the chinese didn't make their characters as intuitive as wingdings. If they gonna make drawings that have a meaning why not just sketch a dog. You can't tell me 犬 is a dog.

Here's an example. Pic related. You can tell what I'm trying to convey.

>>20566048
Imagine being a Chinese scribe in 1000 BC and redrawing the same sketch of a dog tens of thousands of times as you copy old scrolls. You'd want something simpler to write.

>>20566036
maybe i should learn more
>>20566042
youd probably get a lot of data if you announced plans to do it

>>20566061
The problem is I'm not sure what kind of data. According to the addons I selected, your true retention should eventually stablize around 85% on it's own, which seems like the sweet spot for accuracy/effectiveness/difficulty. What else do we want to maximize?

>>20566055
yeah it's almost as if having a trillion symbols instead of representations of the sounds we make is a stupid fucking concept

*whispers into ur ear*

get em out

>>20566048
what do u mean tho both the image and ur post

犬 is a dog it even has a tail u stupid fuck

>>20566085
We want to maximize the average number of new (acquired minus lost) mature cards per session divided by number of card reviews per session, since the more review you get, the more time you spend on learning. True retention of 85% is great but it's not worth it if you have 300 reviews per day and could have a true retention of say 70% with 200 reviews per day.

btw feel free to use that post on ur dog card flashtards

>>20566112
what kind of retard needs a card for 犬

うむうむ。

>>20566111
>We want to maximize the average number of new (acquired minus lost) mature cards per session divided by number of card reviews per session
This makes sense.
>True retention of 85% is great but it's not worth it
This doesn't. Our model will determine that number

welcome to djt

>>20566133
Yeah of course assumptions about true retention/daily reps should be model-based.

>>20566095

>>20566150
Designing a model for this will be hard, because the input is quite complicated.

First version of the list of addons that improve the scheduler

>Experimental Card Ease Factor
https://github.com/eshapard/experimentalCardEaseFactor
Modifies the algorithm to work according to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve model, while targeting a 85% success rate. Also removes the redundant "easy"/"hard" choices. For a more detailed explanation, read https://eshapard.github.io/anki/thoughts-on-a-new-algorithm-for-anki.html

>Avg Ease
https://github.com/eshapard/Anki-avgEase
With the addon above, your cards will eventually stabilize on an ease factor that gives you a success rate of 85%, which may take a lot of reviews. This speeds the process up by assigning new cards a starting ease equivalent to the average ease of your mature cards

>Another Retreat
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1481634779
Because 15% of your reviews will be lapses, we need a better way of handling them instead of just resetting their interval back to one day. This addon's approach is to set it to the last successful interval, which is a sensible default

>Load Balancer Scheduler
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/208879074
A portion of the new interval is randomized by Anki to prevent cards always coming up in the same order they were introduced. This selects the interval with the least number of cards due, resulting in a consistent number of reviews across the week

>Speed Focus Mode
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1046608507
Forces you to concentrate on reviewing instead of browsing 4channel by automatically selecting 'again' after a given number of seconds. Helps cut down review time. You shouldn't be spending more than 10s per card anyway, as the goal is to be able to recall words quickly

u think ur weird cuz u jack off to cartoons and arent employable? lol thats normal its 2019

Speaking of Anki, whenever I add cards through Yomichan they get random numbers as their 'due' number and end up showing first in new cards unless I manually randomize the order. (As in - if I don't randomize the order each time I add new cards, I'll never ever get to my older added cards)
Anybody know why this happens or how to solve it?

It'd compel me to do something instead of lazying away. I think. Also easier to get people on board this way.

>>20566464
But I add too many words to do that... It would take me way too long to do that, yomi-chan adds kanji, kana, multiple dictionaries' meanings, and audio. That shit would take forever.

>that hsits for weirdos
and you're saying this in /jp/?

i didnt realize yall were so self conscious i figured yall woulda been comfortable with ur relative level of weird my mistake

>>20566480
Youre adding too much, just add the word, the kana, and a picture, you can make a hint field for the english translation or start defining it in japanese if you can. If you lapse you can go lookup a sentence and add it too. I add at least 20 words a day this way and have no problem. Lapses are going away more and more and I'm understanding the words better.

You can only do N test once every year in December?

>>20566862
Nice, I'm at the same place. Blazed through the whole kana, started reading through JtMW and getting used to anki. We're all going to make it.

>>20567254
Hmm interesting project, but not really what I want. Something that integrates in browser with yomichan would be nicer. Really all I plan to do is taking all the words in the J-E dictionary, scraping J definitions, and then replacing the English definitions with the Japanese one. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised no one has done it yet (at least not publicaly).

>>20567242

>>20565836
wow dolly is right. and for the 3rd time ever i learned a word from reading the other day. 入学. i could have just learned it in anki though.

u dont learn with anki

u remember

>>20567306
you can use jap dictionaries in yomichan

>>20567420
the way i "learned" 入学 yesterday i could have "learned" in anki.

>>20567427
How do I get one though?

>>20567434
don't feel like telling you but it's easy

>>20567434
read the fukken guide my dude

>>20567433
i dont wanna hear about how some noob "learned" a word most ppl do within watching 5 mins of anime

come back when youve "learned" japanese

I remeber reading a doujin a couple of months ago and on the womans inner thigh the kanji 正 or something like that was written repeatedly. What does the kanji mean in a sexual context?

whats the best epwing dictionary to use for yomi? Daijirin ?

>>20567464
>>20567471
Shit, I didn't realize it was possible to convert EPWING to a usable json format. Thanks. Now I feel retarded.

>>20567522
it means shes not a playa she just fucks a lot

how the fuck is a dictionary 3gb?!

>>20567544
How is it read? I don't really see how it translates to someone who likes sex. The kanji means "correct", right?

>>20567547
Because EPWING is a braindead retarded proprietary format.

>>20567558
he's fucking with you. It's supposed to mean something like "this is the right spot" for you to do your thing.

>>20567558
theyre tally marks dude thats how theyre done

if u wanted to read it maybe go with v lol *makes double v sign ahegao*

>>20567242
>use visual representations to introduce new vocab
You mean like Kanji?

Reeee stop using anki I don't want to use it so you must stop too.

神様恵む the fact that Yotsuba reading pack exists.
I was staring at とーちやん for like 3 minutes trying to work out what the fuck it was saying.
informal/slurred/dropped speech is a fuck.

who cares if u use it ur just likely to suck forever

>>20564856
Cute doggo

now this >>20567612 is the shit to reeee abt

>>20567598
Yea because you can learn what a star is by just making a dot on a piece of paper too right? You need emotional and interactive brain intanglement, not a list downloaded to your braindead memory banks.

What do you guys think of https://bilingualmanga.com
Having a one click switch between English and 日本語; as well as the fact that the text is overlayed so it's easy to copy into dictionaries makes it pretty nice to use.

>>20567612
I have the same problem with pic related. I remember when I first started reading youtsuba that I didn't understand the elders in the manga at all. You get used to it so just hang in there

>>20567643
if it makes the japanese more comprehensible its fine

if u focus on translation and translation quality instead of more simpler concepts to associate with the japanese u already lost

>>20567558
look up how many strokes it has

>>20567494
but then why the hell should i learn vocab through reading instead of treating reading as learning japanese and treating anki as learning vocab? that seems the most efficient. in the very least i should mine while reading and then remember words with anki instead of relying on exposure.
>>20567700
not really.

im sure its all gonna work out well for you make sure to let us all know when u can proudly say https://vocaroo.com/i/s1XiDGLYtzE6

what makes this thread better than the one on int?

nothing go there

>>20567782
I sometimes have both open but it's a little more chill here.

>>20567714
Ankidroning is more "efficient" in the beginning yes, but what you are learning is a different script for an english word, not it's real meaning, its usage, and it's feel. Learning a word through context makes it easier to remember and after you stop spending 30 minutes trying to wrap your head around a page, you are better off just learning through input really.
I don't see how you can separate learning "japanese" and learning "vocab". Unless you are reading fake japanese from a textbook there's always going to be words you don't know, and by reading you are studying vocab. plus japanese is a completely different language with lots of untraslatable words, that you can only understand through reading more.

>>20567567
i can almost imagine someone believing this 笑う

>>20567880
Yea keyword when learning a language is meaningful. That's why reading works, that's why imagery is so good, etc. Dead lists can be scafolding to help you later but they're not aquisition of the language and it's not as efficient as people think.

Oh shit I got the monolingual yomichan working! Some of these entries are like a wikipedia page though, but cool, thanks thread you weren't useless today.

>>20567950
Using j-e alongside j-j is better unless you care about monolingual transition meme.

>>20567992
yea thats what I did, I got the 和英 backup on scroll

how do you say "my name is Nilso and I'm gay!" in japanese?

>>20567880
You can't, you can boost the rate at which you learn words by flashcarding though.
Most people have reasons for learning the language and flashcards help you to get to your goal faster.
The one person with the 100k word deck that hasn't read anything else in japanese isn't gonna stop doing that because of shitposts on jp.

>>20567522
正 is what japanese people use to tally to 5. So each one on her is like a score of 5 guys that hit it. Like how people tally dominoes.

>>20565096
no i learned a lot of vocab and readings from it by ignoring the definitions which have to be learned in context. once you know all the common words you cant say as easily if a card will be useful so its easier to just use reading as srs.

>>20568189
If you don't even know what the word means you haven't learned it.

>>20567950
id recommend just using 三省堂　スーパー大辞林

You don't know a word till you recognize its shape at a glance in kanji or kana, till you hear it instantly in convo, you can say it on a whim, etc. Seeing a word a few times doesn't mean you know it, even having it matured in anki is just the start.

Yo, which input method do you guys use for Japanese typing?
See here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Input_Japanese_using_uim#Installation
A series of (IMEs) are available, many with various dictionaries - e.g. the 2ch dictionaries (how do people here rate them?), modified anthy vs normal anthy, Anthy Kaomoji, mozc, google CGI API (is this FOSS?)
Do you use a japanese keyboard or a US one?
Appreciate responses.

>>20568207
if the majority of your exposure to a word is flash cards you havent learned it
so whats the difference if that exposure includes the meaning or not

>>20568275
That article is retarded and i really should delete it.
Ibus + Mozc is a good combo that I've had no issues with.
Fcitx is ok but it's chinkware and has awkward keybinding issues on UK layout keyboards.
Anthy is dead and has not been updated for nearly 10 years now; use mozc.
I use a UK layout keyboard and it works fine.

>>20568300
did flashcards murder your parents or something?

>>20568306
was that a controversial statement
not even sayin anki cant help you
just sayin that was a shit argument against doin anki without definitions

>>20568275
>Do you use a japanese keyboard or a US one?
japanese keyboard layout offers two things
one is kana input but natives dont use it
the other is a few dedicated keys for conversion and mode switching but you can do all of those things with shortcuts anyway

>>20566288
i'll never know a feel like this

>>20568275
IBus+Anthy, the input itself works fine, the main problem is IBus' compatibility with various shit

anki is actually useful for building up starting vocabulary and remembering grammatical syntax don't pay attention to the morons who want you to bash your head facefirst into pages with no basic vocab

they're idiots and the fact they can't 日本語 makes them 憎らしい

>>20568254
That's not even addressing all of the ways in how a word can be used, expressions its in, the conjugations for it and any quarks it's usage has with grammar and other words, or recognizing the patterns it's used in general. RiP years of your life.

>>20568366
What compatability issues have you had?
I had a slight issue with qt stuff but adding
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus fixed that.

>>20568343
The entire point of flashcards is to help you memorize what the words mean.
Granted sometimes the definitions in decks are inaccurate but it's a baseline which you can build on by exposure to the real language by reading or listening.
I don't see the point of just mashing through it and seeing oh right this word exists.

spaced repetition programs are becoming standard in language courses for a reason. just because you spent two years tryna read sentences that someone who's been doin flashcards for one is no reason 2 b bitter

>>20568401
Mostly about QT, yeah

>language courses

lol seems par for the *snorts* course

it took em 40 years to figure it out don't bully em

>>20568402
>The entire point of flashcards is to help you memorize what the words mean.
the point to me was to stop being slowed down by words i couldnt read when i couldnt use yomichan
i had to check words in my deck sometimes either way but its way faster to check a dictionary when you remember the reading so that was my priority
not sayin if its a better idea to do readings only but its not necessarily a bad one

>>20568413
Almost no polyglots use srs except a few, most do use flash cards and vocab lists though, just not srs, and the ones that srs do it with pictures and context. Straight srs with just vocab is polar opposite to language sub concsious aquisition, what krashen teaches.

Should I play Atelier Totori or watch anime?

flash cards and vocab lists are literally anki decks but physical lmao

音がする

>>20568526
No shit. But you write them out yourself, you look things up as a process, there is the physchological effect of having created something in your reality, etc. It's more time you spend with the words, instead of clicking a button. That stuff has an effect over years of studying a language. Going through a dead program with just english definitions will be about 40% as effective. Krashen's done research on it. Anki is ok if you add personal touches. Like I said there is a srs polyglot I read about but he adds his own pictures etc. that's the method I'm using.

>polyglot memes

>>20568554
You're ignoring the only relevant part about anki, the spaced repetition.

You'll never make it.

the biggest factor in if youll make it is compelling content
whatever other mistakes you make in life are your own business

polyglots have good advice and all but the catch is that they achieve a bare minimum fluency level and use that to inflate their stats. disregard them if they learn malay because they're peacocking

>tfw to smart to be a polyglot
>tfw multiglot

>>20568593
>imagine thinking there's a special ammount of time you need to wait till you see a word again
The only thing anki does good is save a list of words for you. Seeing a word earlier isn't going to hurt you just make it easier on you. It al comes down to spending time with the words period. Also I said I use anki, just not like an autist.

>>20568635
oh nonononono LMAO

>>20568608
True, I wouldn't want to do it but theres polyglots that can read/write/listen/speak a dozen languages, might want to hear what they have to say. I've found tips that helped me.

>>20568635
>Seeing a word earlier isn't going to hurt you
time spent is an obvious factor which takes time away from something else whether its more flash cards or actually fuckin readin
aside from that there are claims that reviewing a card too often gives worse results
id imagine if there is any truth to that its stress related but im not tryin to argue it just say its out there

>>20568647
also keep in mind that at that point, they're usually language professors and doing it for a living, hence why they can dedicate so much time to learning languages. the average person can be multilingual but if you actually have other interests outside of hobbies, you can feasibly only maintain 2 or 3 languages without losing active knowledge unless you can dedicate every waking hour you have to being a walking dictionary and that ain't fun

the most useful thing a polyglot can teach you is to get a feel for learning a language through mixed passive / active immersion

>>20568693
>only maintain 2 or 3 languages
Damn. I was planning to maintain 4
Am I royally fucked?

the only thing a polygloat can do is make an intro vid to japanese and teach u corean instead

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c5Xy3GZCac#t=535

>>20568703
desu you can get away with maintaining 4 - 5 depending on how closely related the languages are

>>20568710
>closely related
>English, Japanese, German, Persian
Yeah I'm fucked

>That 外人 that uses 俺

>>20568717
in your defense, german and english are not that far removed from each other, even with the gender / verb placements

Brainlet comment

you do realise that european languages are spoken outside of europe?

That only leaves you with asian languages, and the only one that actually matters is chinese and maybe korean

>>20568887
On the internet the only languages that matter are in order: English, Russian, Japanese, German, Spanish, French.

i wish that was the case truly i do

>>20568882
Do what makes you happy. But English is the only relevant European language and practically the only important language in the world. All other languages are for vanity purposes. Japanese is the most worthwhile East Asian language because Japan actually produces some worthwhile media. Your third language needs to strike a balance between utility and the degree to which it's exotic. I would recommend something spoken frequently among immigrants that live in your area, but YMMV since immigrants are largely disgusting and have shitty cultures.

>>20568890
Uhh, how is french, german and spanish more important than Chinese?

>>20568890
English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese

congratulations, you can now speak with 80% of the world population, rest will adapt to either one in time

>>20568897
Because chinks have walled themselves in and the only way you can even interact with them is goldfarmers on MMOs who use VPNs.

>>20568882
Where do you even want to move in Europe, it's the most diverse continent in the world.
And by diverse I don't mean american diverse but true different cultures shit.

>>20568898
There are too many people to ever speak with period so you shouldn't learn another language unless something intrinsically appeals to you about language learning. If you decide to learn another language, try to make it a language where the average speaker is of higher quality. So that means no Spanish, Russian, or Chinese because they're mostly trash. You'd be better off learning Japanese. Plenty of trash there too but they have higher quality people both proportionally and in absolute terms.

>>20568897
because the chinese have largely segregated themselves, the only time i ever see them is in dota games

>>20568896
>>20568914
The only worthwhile asian language to learn is chinese, not japanese unless you want to buy fucking ero-doujins at some crappy market in osaka and want to discuss the price with the cashier

>>20568896
I already have english down at an acceptable level (ielts 8.0) so why are trying to sell me on english?
Immigrant languages in my country are turkish and arabic. No way I'm fucking with those

>>20568900
>internet is only video games

>>20568904
But I'm one of those different cultures shits that are fucking europe right now.

>>20568925
besides, japanese is basically broken-chinese with a dumb dialect, might aswell just go all the way and learn the real language, no?

atleast koreans had the gut to distance themselves from china, culture and language wise

>>20568898
>Russian
>not Arabic

>>20568936
>arabic
i wouldn't call that a language, just a series of animal grunts and hisses

feel free to study your monkey speech if you want to though

>>20568928
>fucking Europe
That's just Americans blowing things out of proportion so they can feel good about themselves on their sheltered island.
Europe has been fucked so many times by real shit that a few middle easterners moving in is not a big deal.

>>20568947
You say that but I lived my life in middle east, I know what they are capable of.
It won't happen in our life time, but it'll spread like cancer all over europe in 3 4 generations

>>20568947
>few middle easterners

you do realise that in some countries, those few middle easterners makes up has made it into the double digit percentages, population wise

you are either larping or you live isolated and hasn't experienced it

By that time I'm pretty sure I'll have N1 as well (very confident I could pass right now even). Would a job in Japan as a translator be a viable path even without university? I dont want to be a jet

The guide recommends "Core 2k/6k Optimized" but I can see a "Further Optimized" version in the cornucopia. What's the best one?

put off learning japanese until february to see if your heart is truly in it instead of making a wishy washy new year's resolution

most ppl who make resolution to work out quit the gym by may

and they prolly werent even going just paying for it lmao

>>20569406
By may you could have a skill in japanese that's enough to read the occasional japanese text you come across or at least with the help of jisho.

u can do a lot of things between now and may

literally so much

will u do something this year? prolly not

>>20569354
"further optimized" means it's actually worse

also the guide was written by people who didn't know japanese

just use vncore and start mining

Not that guy but pic and also cell

it's so much fucking easier for me to read this shitty ass VN now than a few months ago to the point i wanna exclaim to all newcomers that even if your vocab is complete ass like mine still is, you will still see improvement in your comprehension because of your improved ability to make out the grammar to the point reading becomes much easier but you just gotta stick to it.

>>20569861
Indeed rednecks are not very popular in Japan due to the high degree of education

>>20569899
I've heard the Japanese can be pretty xenophobic so that's not true. But I'm more referring to people who explicitly accept inherent differences between races.

That's true. And I suppose it's not as relevant an issue to discuss in Japan.

>>20569966
If you want brutally honest people you should look at the chinese, they'll say their opinion about anything no matter how uninformed it is.

>>20569966
That and racialist theories never really flied in Japan. There was a brief point where they thought of themselves as a Yamato race that is superior to all others but that didn't survive in the post-war period.

The entire purpose of flash cards to learn the readings. You end up learning most the meanings anyways but your brain only truly learns a word if you see it in context and take some meaning from it. Otherwise you could just read the dictionary to increase vocab. I'm not even against Anki I gridned it a lot but it definitely is less useful the faster you can read.

they thought they were superior to all others till the realized literally every other race has bigger dicks than them lmao

But you can read the dictionary to increase your vocab.
It's not efficient at all and thus not recommended.
>less useful the faster you can read.
true

>>20570068
Nah europeans are smaller

>>20570068
kinda funny they could possibly think of themselves as special when they lag the west in pretty much anything important. except anime

>>20570105
Japan is significantly ahead of all western countries in terms of economy except the USA.

>>20570130
>in terms of economy
well no. in gdp per capita (what actually matters as it reflects the properties of the individuals rather than sheer population size) they lag behind most of western europe.

>>20570136
They've also got more nobel prizes than all European countries except for Germany, France, Sweden and Britain.

>>20570152
in nobel prizes per capita they lag behind most (all?) of western europe. ditto for most measures of intellectual achievement. in cognitive tests they score higher though so they got that going for themselves.

is there a way to change the order dictionarys show up in yomichan. I want daijirin first but jmdict always is first.

>>20570173
time to use two hover dictionaries at once my man. it's the ultimate dekinai way.

>>20570169
Japan is still more significant than all of those countries. That's like saying China doesn't matter because most of its power stems from its massive size.

>>20570193
china matters but their people are kinda shit is all i'm saying, which is why you need 1.2 billion of them to be a threat. kinda like how japan needs to have a population factors larger than western european countries to match them in some measures of scientific accomplishment.

>>20570218
Awesome cope but pointless post

>>20570225
but the entire point was whether or not they're special, and not in terms of population size.

>>20570236
The point was whether they are lagging behind or not. They have the bigger population, the bigger territory, the bigger scientific achievements, the bigger technology, the bigger economy. You have yet to explain why exactly they lag behing besides "but their country big!!!!", and what you are doing now is coping.

Unfriendly reminder that all chinks are dogs.

>The point was whether they are lagging behind or not
>>20570105
>kinda funny they could possibly think of themselves as special
and in two of the follow up posts i made it pretty clear i was referring to the qualities of people and not "overall significance" because their population is much larger. so now you have your clarification. there's no denying japan is more "important" than switzerland but it's not the point i was making. you have your clarification.

Let's get this thread back on track.

>>20570270
Sly backpedaling but if you are willing to admit Japan is more significant than most western countries that's already a win.

>>20570292
yes i am willing to "admit" an innocuous fact that is irrelevant to the point i was making. similarly as an american i can point out that america dominates the world in all of these metrics in absolute numbers, albeit america lags behind western europe in many of these per capita metrics because americans are lower quality.

I've considered ripping one of her/his videos and overlaying a track of myself reading her/his script. I'll be reclined in my chair with my stomach hanging out and drool running down my cheek onto my chest while reading it.

i dont mind those at all, but theres just something weird about the p's in those words

>>20570600
There's nothing weird

>>20570602
yea its not irregular or anything but futatu is just weird as putatu

just your typical はひふへほ geminate consonant

Honestly the hardest part is even knowing most of the words in a book or something, reading speed is slow as fuck. Practice makes better but sitting at a cool 170~ 字/min is miserable. Currently at a weird intersection where listening has suddenly become a shit ass ton easier than reading, where just a few months ago it was the exact opposite, where listening was hard as balls.

The weird part is that I didn't do that much listening, but a lot of reading.

>>20570646
just checked my reading speed and apparently we are pretty similar. ive noticed the same thing as you with the listening

What is this text supposed to mean? I can work out that なあんも is just a variant of 'nothing/anything', and やる気 is eagerness, but I don't know if せんと is supposed to be a name or another term (saint?). And even if that is the right interpretation I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to mean

lol unmarry the と and look at it without it and then put the と back my ninja
