Is Kanji harder than the Chinese characters? In regards to different readings and such.

>>21259402
>30+ minutes a day
that seems pretty low

At least post this one, it's actually funny compared to your bullshit guide.

>>21259414
Feel free to commit more time if you can. This should be the minimum. If you're a NEET nothings stopping you from doing this until you're too exhausted every day.

Hey if anyone wants to read epubs on their tablet if you use moon reader you can highlight something, click more, change the first dictionary,add a custom dictionary and use Kaku. Basically like having yomichan. Also it has furigana support

imagine posting discord screencaps like anybody cares lol

What's the best way to read manga (image files) on a kindle? I tried kindle comic converter but it keeps saying that the files are corrupted even though everything's fine

Why did qu*zm*ster change his name in d*sc*rd? Is he that embarrassed of himself?

I thought qm was the best? Why isn't he using a name that is written in classical japanese?

>>21259530
i tried kindle for manga but it's just fucking shit. I bought an android tablet and now use it for manga, there is a cool app called OCR Manga Reader that can read comic book archives and look OCR kanji and give definitions

is that because even though it's only 1250 there's still words in it that i don't see as frequently as other words in particular VNs?

>>21259561
the more i think about his "m___ barely reads random kanji better than me even though he's been learning thrice as long" excuse the more funny i find it. it's like ESLs bragging about knowing more words than natives even though they speak like retards.

Why is there no report option for ban evasion?

>>21259361
Most have more than one way of reading, unlike Chinese. Phonology is easier.

>>21259781
For every report on a legitimate ban evader there's a report on some faggot who everyone is "sure" is ban evading but isn't and mods would rather not sort through the shit.

>>21259402
>20 cards a day for a month.

50 cards is way better and not harder than 20, it just take longer.

>>21259812
The real problem is that there's not enough interesting input to get 50 cards a day from.

>can't type any runes or the system thinks the post is spam
wtf gookmoot

>>21259812
Your urge to ankidrone is exactly what this kind of guide deters

>>21259827
brother, 20 cards takes you max 30 minutes, but once you starts going at it learning new cards is easier. 50 cards a day for a month is the way to go.

What criteria do you all use when deciding whether or not you should mine a word?

>>21259832
if I think quizmaster would mine it too

>>21259584
>somehow that makes me happy
no it doesnt. stop trying to be edgy

>>21259832
I usually don't mine a word if it's kana only or if its meaning can be easily guessed through the etymology

>>21259812
>not harder
>just take longer
uh

>>21259757
dont be such an DQNwww

>>21259832
Use the anime frequency dictionary in yomichan. Then just depends on your level. If you're just starting out maybe anything under 6000 or 10000. Once you have a large vocabularies probably just do everything

>>21259848
if you don't have time to do flashcards for an hour then read for one more hour then you don't have the time to learn a language.

>>21259858
OK, but if there's two identical things but one takes longer then it's harder.

if you dont have time to shit up djt you don't have time to learn a language

>>21259842
kana words are actually on the whole more difficult for me to remember, especially if they're adverbial or transitional. ひたすら、やがて、ようやく、ざっくり、 いずれ、いわば took a lot of lookups to finally stick and in hindsight i should have just anki'd them with sentence cards. i think sentence cards are really useful for stuff like that.

>>21259862
You mean, 只管、軈て、漸く、孰れ、謂わば？ They indeed would have been difficult to remember if they didn't have kanji associated with them.

Finally brought myself to read Tae Kim, it's really boring though and I want to continue reading, but I feel like it's necessary.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Stop chasing an ideal vision of yourself. Only compare what you do to what you do on average, and keeping pushing forward.

>>21259905
no, its quite the opposite, you have to aim for the moon so you land among the stars, if you aim for what's in front of you and is easily reachable all you will amount to is dirt.

>>21259830
Yea but if you do 50 new cards a day and can add up really fast so that if you miss a day or two you have 400+ cards due for review. I try and limit it to 150 so I can easily keep the ankidroning to under an hour.

Would any of you have an anime romance where the mc is being taking care of by the love interest?
Like in mirai nikki? I also loved tsugumomo recently.
I have a strong fetish for nee sans type characters.

When I see more than 3 Kanjis in a row without a kana separating them, I feel like I'm reading Chinese and not Japanese lol

>>21259421
It seems like it's trying a bit too hard to be careless. Maybe tone it down.

>>21259935
I asked for an anime and I have read all of the doujin on tsumino already.

>>21259937
They don't accept request thread.

what a clown world.

>>21259916
>planning to always lose
Sounds like a loser's mindset

>>21259956
what this

>>21259960
if your aim is at something you know you will reach then you aint aiming high enough.

>>21259402
Reading 30 minutes a day? When I try reading with yomichan and hover over words it all just seems like a jumbled mess, which of course is the case because it's a dictionary, but it just seems aimless.
I'll do it anyway. I'm on Tae Kim and everything. Any recommendations?

>>21259965
what if I don't know nihongo?

>>21259971
learn nihongo so you can read it ;^)

>>21259974
but its hard

Should I bother doing core2k before learning grammar rules? I started core2k yesterday but I dunno if it's productive since I can't really understand the sentences on the cards.

>>21259979
Just do both at the same time.

>擬声語
>擬音語
>擬態語
>擬容語
>擬情語
These things are the hardest part about Japanese.
"""Words""" like ぶらぶら are just stupid and I think Japs were just too lazy to come up with an actual word.
How are there so many of these """words"""?
This is some next level autism.
I like this language a lot, but this shit is making me mad ever since I started learning it.

>>21259993
Okeydokey. Thank you for the help, have a /cm/

Found your problem. Stop blaiming it on RTK.

a couple hours a day is not wasting 3 months. if you waste the rest of your day it's not rtk's fault.

>>21259929
imagine watching witchcraft works and still being a jerk

>>21259968
then find n+1 stuff and sentence mine for a while till you understand at least 70% of what you read.

>>21260151
at least you trained your memory a little, i guess?

So what do I do with RTK bros?

learn japanese or don't

you remember the kanji?

Even the last bastion of RTK apologists (AJATT/MIA) now only recommend doing the 1000 most common kanji and recognition only (also called Lazy Kanji)

why does everyone think kanji is so hard to learn? grammar is easily the hardest part of japanese

cuz they dont do rtk

>>21259956
damn this look so fucking good but I'm sure it's hard to read for a beginner

RTK is good to get used to remembering Kanji.

>I wasted my time memorizing bunch of fairy tales instead of actually learning Japanese
Why do people do this?

>>21259974

Pick related, some tea, and reading things that are interesting to you (using Yomichan of course.)

Ok how much time should I give to RTK?

is wanikani shit?

>>21260208
>reading things that are interesting to you (using Yomichan of course.)
Isn't that a browser plugin? There's nothing interesting i know of to read on a web page

huh

>>21260220
yes

>>21260222
welcome to djt read the guide

>>21260191
agreed. grammar still buttfucks me every other sentence after 6 months. my guess is that if i learned spanish or a slavic language i could understand more 6 months in, even if i couldn't reproduce it.

>>21260222
If you can't find a single interesting book in the library then why the fuck are you learning Japanese?

Can't believe he keeps this video up after publicly admitting it was bad advice and misled people.

He should at least unlist it.

or wanting to own up to his mistakes thing. but regardless it should probably be unlisted.

>>21260304

>>21260304
heart + logic

I want all of DJT to read 太陽と鉄

>>21260300
I think it's more to do with the fact that it's one of his most popular videos and he's putting getting exposure for his channel above not disseminating misinformation.

2 week DJT anon here, make me read something.

>>21260264
What the fuck are these stories?

>>21260300
>>21260319
His AJATT timeline video where he gives the same advice (do RTK before you learn any Japanese) is still up too, and also happens to be one of his most popular videos.

>>21260309
send link that works then friend

The idea was to post unusual readings that were impossible for rtk friends to read but I guess you broke this ancient tradition with your post.

I am almost done with RTK
2 more days
I can feel myself BECOMING japanese

rtk doesn't teach you any readings so why the fuck would you bother with "unusual" readings you dumbass

>>21260319
>>21260329
Wrong, he literally tells you to watch it on his lazy rtk page. What he says in it is still mostly true. Also he still advocates doing RTK fully in the traditional way once fluency is achieved

its literal trash. ease is very useful.

if you get a word but didn't feel good about it you press hard so that you'll see it more often. seeing the words that you want to more often and the words you don't need to less often is better, even if it means more reps. long reps are only a problem for matt and other dumbasses that do sentence decks.

i need help guys i feel like have been plateau-ing pretty hard. i have been studying japanese for almost a year and for the past 2 months i feel like my word retention dropped off a cliff. i went from averaging 90-95 in anki to about 80-85 and as i keep adding word that i pretty much never encounter again retaining these words gets harder and harder. i'm currently done with all jlpt n5,n4,n3 words even n3 words have hard time sticking, especially ones that i don't see much i.e (i keep reading 用心 as ようしん). should i consider writing, maybe that would help? i'm not really sure what to do to make ""obscure"" vocab stick beside failing them over and over in anki

>read more
i'm reading as much as i can, i'm a full time students in a fairy hard program so i can only do 90-120mins/day though i have been going the quality approach and trying to understanding everything, maybe i will go the quantity approach and just skip everything i dont understand to natural srs as much as possible..

any anons in the same boat please let me know what helped you out

>>21261071
I think it goes away if you just keep reading.

tfw I just stopped learning japanese all together when I stopped ankidroning

reading is fun and all, but I really don't see how I learn words faster than anki like that.

>>21261154
now u know nihongo isnt for u

tfw i still read vns in jp even tho i stopped ankidroning for a whole year

>>21261166
you don't. it's a myth

>太陽に嫌われた国
i'm literally retarded
does this mean country that is hated by the sun? also where can i find an expansive list for all the uses of the に particle?

what myth no one ever said its faster lol its just more fun

>>21261184
a country that is hate because of the sun

if anki becomes so boring you quit after 3 months, sure you learned 2000 words, but let's say you never get bored of reading fun stuff. you'll learn an infinite amount of words because you'll be able to do it more.

>>21261189
Context is that the country is surrounded by a thick fog in which no one can even see the sun
sorry for asking dumb shit

>>21261166
whats your current comprehension level? how much are you looking up? how many words per, say, 10 sentences?

>>21261213
60-70% percent probably.

>>21261195
My post you are replying to is a joke btw. Anyway it took me a while but I found the video that cracked the code for me when it comes to this ni. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMk2r7sCjvY I hope you can understand it.

>>21261227
But that video doesn't even cover the ni used in your original sentence so disregard my post lol

i need proof that steve is any good at any language

Steve "때문에" Kauffman

why do you need that

My Manager noticed You've been staring at that Kanji for Like, a Really Long time. Is there anything I could help you with?

he really doesnt seem very good. all he aims for is conversational in his languages. "conversational" japanese is like 2000 vocabs and probably N5 to N4 grammar at best.

conversational means nothing

>>21261349
i just described it

your description sucks cock

>>21261326
why? do you not like his advice?

>Get told to get a VN because is more enjoyable than reading books.
>Spend 30 minutes trying to find a working link
>doesn't work
>go to /vg/
>download VN
>only 1 peer and its going to take 24h to download mere 3gb

guess I'll keep reading novels...

>>21261357
what are you complaining about

>>21261359
that fucking torrent sucks and I wish they uploaded VNs to mega or something.

>dude, just play VNs and use a text hooker, it's really fun and a great way to learn
>try it
>game is the size of an ant on my modern display
>no way to resize it
>can't read or enjoy shit because it's so fucking tiny
yeah great medium guys. really great.

So LNs are basically shit if these are the most popular ones. I’m giving up and going full VN mode once I’m sick of mining AI-chan’s vids. VNs are the one true way.

>>21261357
which VN?

>>21261377
https://vndb.org/v3971

>>21261383
there's a working torrent with fast speed on http://rutracker.org/

download that then follow this advice:
>>/jp/thread/16533488#p16540535

if you play vns youll get addicted to porn

if you play vns you'll get real good at nihongo
but real bad at getting a gf

real womyn can't compete with vn girls
thats why humanity is going to go extinct

>>21261417
you can learn literally every method by which you can get a girl to like you smdh

You can also buy your VNs off DMM and dodge the region locking. Go through jap TOR exit nodes using strict exit nodes, add DMM points through paypal, then buy the game. You don’t have to download it through tor because the raw download link you get after buying doesn’t check your region. Just start the download and copy the link and cookies over.

>>21261389
I don't know Russian

>>21261426
yea? i bet i'll get real good at racing if I watch inital d a lot

>>21261438
you don't have to. it's literally like 2 clicks.

>Tfw need to learn Russian in order to learn Japanese.

>>21261439
no because human interaction is a psychological thing and initial d driving is a physical thing. duh dude.

>>21261389
Download doesn't work, I give up on that game.

>>21261490

Finally got the first ending of Chinatsu's route (Bad end, as recommended by the dude who made a guide that's since been lost to the death of geocities). That was some extremely 気持ち悪い shit, but Kou sure brought it on himself.

>>21261509
yeah sure

>>21261501
>>21261497
Aight thanks man, what should I post about? you guys probably played the game already

>>21261550

>>21261593
i mean this thread has pretty much pushed a culture of "u cant learn nihongo ur bad stop posting" at every turn so people feel pressured to preface every post they make with "i do not know any japanese at all and am an utter fool, but here's my take"

>kanji for numbers

yeah?

>kanji exist
lmao

Never learned the purpose that Kanji have in the Japanese language. I just accepted it and moved on.

>>21261368
Fucking zoomers.

Lucky for you, there are modern VNs with higher resolutions that you can play:
https://vndb.org/v/all?q=;fil=olang-ja.tagspoil-0;rfil=lang-ja.plat-win.resolution-1280x720~1920x1080;o=d;s=rating
^ Take ratings on VNDB with a fistfull of salt, by the way. Untranslated VNs are for obvious reasons often much less popular than translated ones, and because of this they receive pretty considerable penalties on their weighted ratings (a VN with 50 votes and an average rating of 7.50/10 will have an entire point shaved off its weighted score so it shows up as only 6.50/10 in the search results, and VNs with similar average ratings with less than 20 votes can show up as low as 5.**/10). VNDB really should have a separate weighting system for English translated, non-English translated, English+non-English translated, and untranslated VNs, but it doesn't and probably never will so... Another problem is stupid cunts rating VNs based on their CG sets without ever having read them, or rating them based on machine translations.

all you need to not get viruses is a good ad blocker and to not be retarded honestly.

>>21261794
i dont have any viruses i was just dling some raw manga from some shitty sites and doing an adware scan real quick. it's been a full year since my last scan lmao

>>21261071
When you have problems with a word, add it to a list that you keep on your desk. Read over the list at least once per day. Eventually you will remember them.

where would she rank in SSK?

>>21261184
Your problem is with the passive verb, not the に.

looks like i posted in the wrong thread my tomodatis

>>21261861
is ok tomogaki

>>21260743
This is discouraging.

Question for the "real readers" how do you know if you get things right while reading novels from the library?

>>21261929
im not always 100% sure that i'm right, but when i'm wrong, i know for sure. but i don't usually get too hung up on it and just keep going forward rather than stick on a single sentence for twenty minutes.
that having been said if something's just completely incomprehensible i just bookmark it to read later instead.

「人退」は下手なアニメです

god damnit why are vns so hard to play?

>>21261955
if the folder it's in has a name written with japanese characters, try renaming it into english.

>>21261929
im still pretty shit but this is how i see it
its rare that somethin makes perfect sense but is wrong
rare enough that you shouldnt be worried about it
you just get varying degrees of confidence with every bit you read and over time with more exposure to the language your average level of confidence goes up and usually for the right reason
sounds like youre real early in so dont think much about it and just try try to enjoy the content in your loose understanding of it
youll notice eventually that youre more confident in more and more little bits and itll keep goin on like that

>>21261955
change your system locale also you might need to reinstall with a path that isnt fucked after

Does saying まあ before saying something
make you sound feminine?

>>21261972
>>21261965
Tried this, its opening now (some progress!) but it closes down right away.

I'm too tired to keep trying, didn't know Japanese was this hard. Guess I'll continue tomorrow.

it's because ultimately shared decks are just a stepping stone to mining (unless you're SPECIFICALLY grinding for the JLPT or something like prefecture names) so how much you do them doesn't matter as long as they make it easier for you to read without resorting to an actual dictionary every single word
