>>21403470
The ending to the last thread was so bad that I had to make this thread as soon as possible.

>>21403479
but bad threads much like womens orgasms can easily roll one into the next

it was shit cuz we were diarrhea posting to get to 2k

>夜闇
Just encountered this spelling of やあん in an LN but not a single major J-J dictionary has it. The only place I was able to find an entry for it was Weblio, where the definition is taken from a dictionary I've never heard of (実用日本語表現辞典).

What gives?

>>21403469
What's this from

足を止めた
had to look this up in yomichan to make sure i understood the true meaning. thank god i did.

Why do these African gentlemen all have straight hair?

>>21403538

Thoughts on this manga

after you learn japanese do japanse voice actors sound normal and similar to english voice actors or do they still sound better

>>21403743

they still sound better

>>21403709

>>21403769
why did you have to succumb to this disgusting mind virus, of all people. i respected you

>i respected you
are you tarded

its just memes dude relax

>Respecting anyone in this thread mao

it's always better in japanese including written stuff
try reading any hentai doujin or manga in english for epic cringe

>>21403775
i'm trying to get out of that too

its best if u read them in ptbr honestly

>>21403791
actually, that happens to me but with spanish stuff
i just can't read them anymore
i prefer english or japanese now

>>21403775
i post filth in the threads but in my heart its always about long skirts w. crew socks and napes

>>21403786
i respect qm, jamal, and above all matt. because i respect competence in japanese. qm is distantly behind matt but he'll catch up in the next 3 years.

>>21403791

i still cant read in japanese fast enough to do my 30 seconds each doujin style unfortunately, doubt i ever will

>>21403769
This has 4.5 out of 5 stars on dlsite. Interesting

If you haven't noticed by now that Jamal has a cuckolding fetish then I don't know what to tell you.

not relaly into that at all if anything i just like a proper working girl

>>21403910
You often post and talk about Elf games, so don't try to deny it.

>>21403914
i mean i dont like every elf game super hard its mostly the classics

why does it feel like im playing some kind of elaborate guessing game whenever i use the english dictionary? is it this defitionion? or is it this definition? or maybe this definition? i hope this improves with japanese dictionaries

般若湯飲んでるから元気です。

>>21403461
Turning off the subtitles is really great. It brings tears to my eyes.

>>21403920
Because you're bad at Japanese. The better you get, the more you stop having issues like that.

>>21403920
i know that feel.

Is female orgasm real?

>>21403724
The only interesting manga in a university setting that I know of.

>>21403935
It is but it's not a big deal. The more important thing for a woman is the feeling of being used and dominated. That's why it's a bad idea to ask her to do much work getting you off -- blowjobs, prostate massage, you basically don't want to go there or you'll become the woman.

>>21403939

not him but i'm a doutei so i don't have proof to confirmed it either

>>21403920

>>21403939
>ダイビングをする事もないわけじゃない気がしなくもないぞ
FUCK OFF

even if you're not a virgin, how can you know what another person is feeling.

>>21404025
how would you prove it anyway? her fake shaking and testimony isn't going to tell you whether or not it's real.

男性は背が高くて声が低くて横顔が綺麗
女性もそう笑でもちゃんとした女性なりに！本当は女っぽいけど身体が強め…

already on my second attempt to play angel beats today.

>>21404046
You're so stupid haha why would a woman put the energy to fake shaking if you were actually good at pleasuring her?

Where did all these retard super-doutei's come from.

>>21404042
You can't. You can only guess and have a vague idea of what the other is feeling through body language and words.

>>21404039
how do you decode something like this?

>>21404080
ez
you count
odd number of negatives means the expression is negative
even number of negatives means the expression is positive

Reminder that the most patrician way to learn Japanese is reading オーバーロード while listening to ダンジョン・シンセ.

Did I cracked it?

>>21404231
nope u split it up all wrong

>>21403920
a so many words are just the combination of two kanji and that’s clear from the japanese definition but they can’t exactly explain it in english so they just pick a word that seems right

if you mine sentences how do you remember which word in the sentence you're supposed to remember. do you bold it

>>21404271
You can bold it, but this usually results in you not paying attention to the whole sentence. I guess it's fine though.

>>21404271
it doesn't matter, when you review you just try to read the sentence
if you can read everything there's no problem and if you can't it's probably that word

I just skimmed the last 3 days worth of posts and the last thread might have been actually and legitimately the worst thread of all time for real this time.

i think it was a fun thread filled with good feelings all around and minimal hate and we didnt talk about ecelebs like at all ftw ?

reminder i finished these premade decks and am now free

>>21404063
their “orgasms” last like 20+ seconds and they have no refractory period that’s not what i’d call a “climax” lmao they just feel good with varying intensity they don’t orgasm stop believing everything you read in doujins

>>21404395
stop baiting people into making fun of you, it's not working.

>>21404395
good job

>>21404402
how'd you know i was doing that. keep in mind i have been successful in the past.

>>21404443
coming off too strong with the comment there.

>>21404452
next time i will be fake humble. would that work? like
>i know it's not a lot of words but i still feel proud. i know i have a long way to go.

>>21404397
>their “orgasms” last like 20+ seconds
since when did length determine whether it's an orgasm or not wow you're silly
and there is a refractory period it just comes after multiple successive orgasms

>>>/trash/23321685
please take off topic discussions here. thank you.

is there a thread in trash for the dudes arguin about orgasms too
im gonna give u the only weigh in on this u need
2d women orgasm
nothin else matters

>>21404271
You're supposed to have it + its definition on the back of the card, aren't you?

But if not, if you can't remember which word you made the card for then I guess that means you've learned it as well as every other word in that sentence, so what does it matter?

>>21404356
This thread is a close contender.

>>21404628
This thread doesn't come close to the worst of the worst.

>>21404632
I can count the number of on topic posts so far on my fingers. It's awful. The only thing that could make it worse is if Quiztard shows up.

>>21404654
why dont u make some instead of contributing to the off topic posts ?

just made it one sentence past the previous screenshot. i'm making steady progress.

look after i take a dump ill start playing tobiden again

thats waht yall really want anyway isnt it

>>21404676
yea sure. see if you can get through more sentences per 12 hours than i can in angel beats (1 sentence per 12 hours for me).

>>21404676
no i want to see the kids who are fucked start to make it like angel beats guy

angle beats guy is super sadbrain and not even really playing it tho and i dont think he ever will

>>21404711
i won't ever make it.
>>21404739
this guy is right.

i got through like 5 sentences in angel beats just now again. then i got distracted listening to this.

Where can I discuss poorly written porn on nocturne that I can barely read without learning enough to discuss it with Japanese people and without annoying people who can't read it? I'd be content with being dekinai forever if I had this.

"While there is a certain amount of honour among thieves" in commercial lexicography, dictionary compilers frequently include bogus entries in order to trap pirates of their material. Several such entries were noticed in Spahn & Hadamitzky[14], where obscure kanji were given English meanings from Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky" (brillig, slithy, borogove, etc.)"

There are no words for the level of hate I feel for publishers like that. Guess that means I should make one up.

>>21405619
It's funny because neither Japan nor the US consider the data within a collection of facts (e.g. maps, dictionaries) to be held under IP law, only the representation of it (wording, printed form, etc).

Reminder: you can't learn japanese.

>>21405919
This is a crying shame desu, why can't some hard working investment group own the rights to the English language so they can profit off it.

Greetings Quizmaster here, thought a bit about how I could use my method to optimally mine video game vocab and came up with a really efficient method using the nvidia shadowplay thing. Here is some test cards I made from Yakuza 0:

https://streamable.com/zd7at

Another thing subs2srs tards can only dream of. This should work on pretty much every video game. I'll probably play some Sekiro and mine all the conversations with this.

>>21406369
>efficient
>u have to type those sentences out, shadowplay saving is inherently slow, etc.

just mine it from someones youtube playthrough lol

>>21406377
Why is shadowplay slow? It saves X seconds of the video before the point where I press and my hotkey and I just press it everytime I see a word I want to mine. No slowdowns or lag.
Typing out the sentence is admittedly the biggest additional time investment compared to traditional anime cards, but there is nothing you can do about it and you'd also have to type it out if you watched someone's Youtube playthrough. And compared to watching someone's playthrough I AM ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME.

This is the most efficient and fun way to go through video games simple as that.

>>21406369
Anime card revolution NOW! Goodbye MCDs, sentences, and all other bullshit. Please make patreon before this gets stolen!

>>21406369
>thought a bit about how I could use my method to optimally mine video game vocab and came up with a really efficient method using the nvidia shadowplay thing.
it's something no one talks about because no one gives a shit.

>>21406393
>efficient and fun way to go through video games
ya i dont think mining every little word u dont kno is the msot efficient or fun way to play a game but u do u guy.

if ur shadowplay is actually instant (which it likely isnt unless ur shadowplaying to an ssd so gj killing ur ssd) u must have cranked down the bitrate and resolution just to capture the bare minimum i guess

just write in a notebook lol

>>21406425
Nobody is forcing you to mine every word you don't know. You can mine every 10th word you don't know it's entirely up to you and is no criticisms of the method.

And the quality settings are pretty low indeed but why would I record at high settings if the recording merely serves as learning material not for anybody to actually look at.

everyone should share the next 5 words they mine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDAu5EratrU
this program's functionality is great and would work well on desktop and shits all over kanjitomo so why hasn't someone taken the plunge

Because OCR is for retards

>>21406450
these are some i mined today. i've seen several of them multiple times but kept forgetting their readings and meaning (but coming close each time) so i added them to anki to cement them.

>>21406469
OCR is sick i've been looking up words in menus thanks to it

In the last month I've struggled my way through a novel with furigana (角川つばさ文庫 thing), a porn novel (though I do skip the anal scenes) and a short story collection. I'm having a lot of fun, but I did not mine a single word from them. Just looked it up and remember if it's repeated often enough (唖然, 死亡推定時刻, or 密室). Mining words feel absolutely unfun. What do?

>>21406513
just keep going, you don't have to mine

>>21406513
read 50 more and u might start feeling good abt japaneez

>>21406513
>(though I do skip the anal scenes)
ahhahahaha onions boy

anals retarded damaging a girls hole is complete trash dont do it

>>21406513
>I'm having a lot of fun
dammit i'm so fucking jealous of people who are able to have fun doing this. it's the equivalent of being able to have fun watching paint dry. how do you guys do it? regress back to 5 year olds?

>>21406425
>unless ur shadowplaying to an ssd
cant it just keep it in ram ? i dont use that shit
>>21406513
>(though I do skip the anal scenes)
whats ur fuckin problem ?
>>21406554
if u dont want to read shit why are u trying to learn nihongo lol

>>21406575
because i want to read shit, but reading shit isn't fun if you're not fluent.

>>21406527
Alright, I have my next three novels planned, I'll see if I start feeling good in a year or so.

>>21406554
>how do you guys do it?
Well for the furigana novel and the short story collection they're mystery stories and I enjoy when the crime is explained. One of the murder weapons is a paper airplane, it was great. The porn is vanilla starring a tsundere osananajimi, which pushes almost all of my buttons.

>>21406575
>cant it just keep it in ram ?
no

>>21406377
Imagine not knowing these noob words lmao
subs2srs for the win

>>21406579
Yeah, that period where you have to read unfun shit just so you can get enough knowledge to read the actually fun stuff is loathsome.

>>21406579
if u dont like it enough to struggle for it why do u think ull like it after uve been reading for 10000 hours
i dont think u want to read shit i think u think u want to read shit

I don't play games anymore, I download 実況 videos from youtube of Japanese people playing them, with them reading any text on screen, and pause the videos if I don't get a word.

The most important thing I learned from this is that even natives misread words sometimes.

>>21406579
>reading shit isn't fun if you're not fluent.
Agree with you there. Unless I'm watching something or reading something really easy, it's pretty asinine to read. I'll be fluent before I read a novel or LN.

>>21406535
>>21406575
Geez I just don't like anal unless it's a shota being butt-pounded, get off my back

>>21406619
>why do u think ull like it after uve been reading for 10000 hours
well i know for a fact there's stuff i enjoy reading in my native language at the moment that i wouldn't even bother with if i didn't know most of the related words.

>>21406641
Must be hard trying to learn japanese when the things you really want to read is at a high levels of difficulty.

>>21406927
Yes I just learned Kanas last week.

>>21406935
damn, no wonder you're struggling. I learned so much from Angel Beats, though. It's a funny VN.

Has anybody thought of vocab-mining Wikipedia articles on subjects you're interested in?

>>21406967
nah I was interested in learning cuisine terms so I watched 食戟のソーマ with eng subs and jap subs and mined shit like crazy, but then only spend 20 minutes on anki because I don't want big dog jamal getting mad at me.

>>21406967
yea. why?

>>21406872
>root double
>good for a first read
i couldn't even finish that shit in english, i can't even imagine trying to finish it as a beginner in japanese taking 4x longer processing everything.
anyway the only hentai games chart you need is jamal's.

Thoughts on this channel? Its comfy to watch at night

>>21406914
theres only 1 level for jrpg and it's easy. they're just tougher for beginners because a. you don't get the sheer volume of input you'd get from ln or vn (=slower improvement) and b. they can't be texthooked. the only real categories you could put them into would be like... "is the font fucking legible at all," or "is there kanji or is it all kana" (only really useful for retro shit)

>>21407021
I mean yakuza 0 fuckken rekted me.

>>21407011
私はそういうvideosを気にいません、ですからあれに意見がありません。

Can I learn Japanese just by staring at Futaba all day?

>>21407029
i guess you could add a 3rd category "are the characters gonna slur the living fuck out of their speech" because that's prob what did you in in addition to not being able to texthook

>>21407036
No, you have to post and get all the nips riled up by your mistakes.

>>21407036
Unless you've got some kind of bilingual dictionary at hand, I doubt you'll be able to tell much just by staring at raw input with no meaningful points of reference.

>>21407052
How do kids learn japanese?

>>21407057
By having their parents point at stuff, and then explaining stuff in terms of how they relate to what they see/feel.

>read 12 sentences from angel beats today
>haven't improved
kinda pissed to be honest.

>>21407158

I'm a 1 month old dekinai, tried it right after I finished kanas, first page rekted me so hard I could do jack shit.

I'm going overseas next week and downloaded all kino books I could find on my kindle and I'm planning on reading some in the plane.

>able to read K-ON at a very decent speed with about 70-80% comprehension
>try to talk to a Japanese person
>XはYです is all I can produce
>wtf.jpg
>extreme amounts of difficulty listening and understanding even though they're using basic words and grammar

Oh boy I had no idea reading and listening were 100% separate skills. I gotta start watching unsubbed shit.

how retarded is it that 鼻歌 isnt a する verb? you have to say 鼻歌を歌う lmao japanese is so gay

>>21407167
you can do it anon
just know that the prologue (lost in the forest ・b) is going to be a little harder to understand bc it's ~philosophical~ but the first story is a lot more clear

>>21407170
shoulda listened to teh dolly

Man I wish they told me language learning was a skill with a really step exponentian learning curve, like a 3-4 months ago I couldn't even image me reading shit like I do now, not in my wildest dreams.

わたし wa have a 勃起 デス. What kanji do you recommend me オナニーing to?

>>21407171
You sing nose songs, you don't do them

>>21407174
Yeah I read the first page and it was pretty easy compared to what I remember.

I still remember when that sentence about the wind going tru the trees in the forest killed me so hard for an hour or so about 3 weeks ago, now I tried reading and I could go some pages without using the jisho I have installed.

>>21407187

>>21407177
>with a really step exponentian learning curve,
lol get the fuck out of here. it's all fucking stupid until you're fluent. why would i give a fuck knowing 2 or more words on average per sentence than 3 months ago if i still can't comprehend most sentences.

>>21407196
the best shit in the world is revisiting stuff that killed you a long time ago and understanding things. just dont forget that feeling it'll keep propelling you toward at least mid level

>>21407194
fair enough that it doesnt actually mean humming then and instead means nose song but you can verb a song you should just be able to verb a nosesong too desu. i bet even some natives think this as well.

>>21407220
It means humming, but it is just said differently and if you looked up what the words actually meant it would be obvious why they say it like that.

Is there an app that lets you look up a kanji and it shows you the stroke order? Kanji Tree is almost that but it doesn't let you paste from your clipboard. I'm on Android.

>>21407158
whys everyone so hard for kinos tabby

Would you fuck cure dolly?

Do you learn the Kanji name of all your waifus

Dolly is too autistic for me

>>21407274
maybe

>>21407289
Yeah but imagining her autistic thoughts as she gets railed is hot

>>21407289
Then read imabi instead. That guy covers fucking everything (except for slang and rural dialects).

>>21407297
u kno its a beaner dude right? https://youtu.be/bGThHsfVIng?t=202

why does japanese have so many homophones?

>>21407308
I meant she's too autistic for me to fuck her.
Her lessons are toppest of tops thanks to the 'tism.

>>21407158
wtf is kino's tabby and why should i care?

>>21407316
same reason it has homophobes

>>21407274
>fucking dolly
>she tells you that you should be organically fucking her in Japanese or else you're wasting your time
Too much stress, give me a nice dekinai instead.

>>21407342
Why does m4tt's immersion method get way more patron bux than dolly? Dolly is more autistic, hotter and actually gives useful information unlike manletregretsjapanese who just says immerse and learn pitch accent like anyone cares

>>21407358
because while Dolly's objectively better in every single aspect that matters, her avatar and her audio suck royal donkey dick

バイブ楽しい~

Has anyone come up with a guideline for efficient mining yet
Like how to identify words that are more worthy to mine, will pay off sooner etc

Complete beginner question.
I'm trying to understand this but I don't. I don't understand why it wouldn't be
>人は魚が好きだ
to mean "person that likes fish". Is there a video for beginners that breaks this stuff down more? Earlier in the lesson it says that "Bob likes fish" is
>ボブはさかながすきだ。
So why isn't it the same for "person likes fish"? Why does 人は魚が好きだ mean "People like fish"?

>>21407381
Sorry I fucked up the last Japanese sentence,
>ボブは魚が好きだ。
is what I meant to write.

Is anybody here n2+ or really skilled?
What your thoughts on this chart, what would you change or add?

>>21407381
>>21407381
Japanese puts all modifying clauses before the noun. No matter how long it gets.
>The red ball
>The red ball that was used in the Special Olympics of 1983
Japanese would say
>The red used in the Special Olympics of 1983 ball
So if you want 魚が好きだ to modify the 人, you need to put it before it. "The fish liking person".
Check out Dolly's videos.

>>21407363
My ears want to commit seppuku every time I watch one of her videos, but sometimes its worth it.

>>21407381
Because that's not how the sentence works.
人は魚が好きだ
Means some person is fish liking (liking is an adjective in japanese).
This is actively doing the fish liking and not describing the person.
If you want to modify some noun it comes before it and the picture you posted how you do that with na adjectives.

Is there a folder filled with coloring books that have Hiragana, Katakana, Furigana, and Kana written in them including Kanji?

>>21407385
here is a better guide:

>Learn kana
>do 10 min of vncore everyday, don't stay more than 3 seconds per card, if you don't know it by just seeing it just it again
>play JRPGs/VNs with no OCR or Texthooking, either draw shit on google translate or search by radicals.

>>21407381

In the same way your English sentences don't make logical sense in English.

You don't refer to a person as 'person' outside of very limited contexts (for example "Person likes fish" is completely nonsensical). And, also like in English, you don't always need to use the group modifiers to words to express a collective view. For example: "Man likes fish" refers to all of mankind even though "Men" would be the (gendered) plural.

Basically because language is nuanced and you can't apply hard rules to everything.

>inb4 engsubs retard wakes up just to shitpost.

>>21407385
Heiseg is worthless. Just remember the Kanji by remembering it like a normal person instead of being retarded and writing an autistic story about it.

Lately I've been into children's chapter books
Being transported back into that innocent world

>>21406935
Are you looking up every word then?

Lately I've been into looking at children in the park
Being transported back into that innocent world

>>21407430
You sound quite upset about a method you don't understand and haven't used.

>>21407431
chapter books? you mean novels?

so what is the story of 鬱?

>>21407430
It's easy to remember the difference between extremely common kanji that look very different (like 使 and 金), but lots of other kanji are too similar to be told apart except by the means of some kind of mnemonic (like 巣 and 単).

>>21407385
heres a start
>>21407473
read more

So this is the power of RTK...

>>21407473
read more

>>21407473
read more

Can you samefagging roleplayers explain something to me? If it's so easy to naturally pick up kanji why do people have so much trouble with it? Surely if the most natural way is the best way nobody would have an issue.
Why don't the Japanese just read more? Seems rather silly that they spend so much time actively studying them when they're already 100% immersed.

>>21407482
guide looks nice as a conceptual roadmap but the reality will end up more like this

>>21407502
you dont need a fucking mnemonic for all of them. The order in heisig is good and learning radicals helps ram them into your thick skull more easily but you really dont need to be visualising stories written in english when youre goal is to learn fucking japanese

>>21407473
Wrong
>>21407502
The people who think they have trouble are retards who havent read enough

>>21407388
>>21407409
>>21407421
Thank you thank you. I don't think the guide ever states that modifying clauses go before the noun but maybe I glossed over it. I'll check out Dolly but man is she unnerving

>>21407516
to add to that, japanese study them in order to memorise how to write them, if you wanna write them do heisig or better yet, get fluent then buy the kanken books so you can get a nice certificate to brag to your japanese friends about

>>21407482
after i posted it i noticed the fuckin eng manga what the fUCK
>>21407509
i aint really endorsin runnin with this i just took a shot at whats wrong with it

>>21407473
>>21407502
If your eyesight is so bad you can't tell 巣 and 単 apart, try paying attention to the context of the sentence/story. Cause even Kanji that look alike have different meanings and chances are one of those meanings will make no fucking sense in the context of the story. If that still doesn't help, then sure whatever, make a faggy little story to help. But don't waste 3 whole goddamned months on RTK trash when you could just save that lame shit for things you really, REALLY can't tell apart.

>>21407516
You understand that mnemonics fade, right? After a few repetitions the story naturally fades into radicals, and after a few more only the character remains.
I get that it makes you feel insecure when people do hard work while you're watching K-on, but you don't have to lash out at them. If you just want to watch anime and read SAO that's ok, nobody is going to hurt you.

>>21407502
the more literate japanese do read more and it works out great for em though
the ones who only do the required kanji study in class and dont read more are the ones in those street nihonjin dont know kanji vids

hey here's a retarded newfag question
if im interested solely in reading japanese should i care about the hiragana "spellings" of kanji or should i just study what each kanji means when read

>>21407529
It's still not perfect. Needs Part 3: わたしはゲイ

>>21407543
Yes, you should know the readings of Kanji. Yes, even if you're just trying to read. Don't try and cut corners like a retard.

>>21407556
noted, thanks

imagining a guy who reads イヤ en nihongo and 嫌 en ingles

>>21407543
If you mean "should you first learn all the readings of an individual kanji" then no.
You should learn how the words that are written with kanji are spelled with hiragana/how they are spoken.
Sometimes people write words with just hiragana.

>木材
>材木
What's the difference?

How would I say this in Japanese.

I bought a bra but it feels weird to the touch and tight as fuck. Here, touch it, and see what I mean.

このブラーを買ったけど嫌な感触があって食い込んでる。ほら、触って見なさい。

damn i have never read so quickly and keenly as when the hero and the toughest bad guy were duking it out in this shonen, barely paused

compelling content really is the way to success

>>21407658
you can run the dialogue of what method is best all day and never get around to doing anything. compelling content quells that bullshit and moves you forward. definitely the way to go when learning a language.

>>21407682
>you can run the dialogue of what method is best all day and never get around to doing anything.

This method worked for Matt, it'll work for me.

>>21407691
hey just fyi matt didnt even do rtk before anything else lmao he even says as much and has revised his method to say not to do that in the beginning anymore

ur a dumb little nigger faggot

>>21407696
Yeah, and Matt doesn't know FUCK ALL about Japanese. Coincidence?

>>21407691
thats the beauty of little matts patreon. He did one thing, showed his decent results with it. convinced a bunch of r/learnjapanese of his relative superiority and then continually tells people to DO SHIT HE HIMSELF DIDNT DO to build up hype for his gay matts immersion method website and keep people paying him for his "wisdom"

>watching anime with jap subtitles and pausing every time to read the subtitles and look up words you don't know
>watching anime with jap subtitle without pausing at all and just trying to catch as much as possible
Is there one that is objectively better than the other?
Currently I'm doing both, the first with new anime and the second with anime I've already seen.

>>21407722
if you're enjoying either then either is fine. Your enjoyment level should be your guide when learning something that takes heaps of time like Japanese

>>21407737
Enjoyment-wise they both have their drawback, I guess.
First method takes me pretty long to get through a single episode and second method I just don't understand all of the plot, although I only have done the second method with anime I've already seen so far.
I guess I'll just continue to do both.

Why's it harder to read Japanese horizontally than it is to read it vertically?

>>21407787
Yeah, the ideal is eventually to watch without pausing. When you get bored of looking everything up just switch, it's all time spent with the language and as long as it's compelling you'll progress

How come you haven't put Nazeka's Chrome version on the Chrome Web Store yet, Wareya?

It's the same trick you do in English. Don't read books, don't run into weird vocabulary.

>>21408780
the curse of youtube. shes incentivized to keep the video content coming even if theres nothing to add to what she has to say. so shit is all pointless repackaging of whatever she already said.

I get watching raw without jp subs is best practice, but if you're new to something like gundam surely it's better to watch with subs, make some sick anime cards and then watch raw in 2-3 months right?

>>21408881
tl;dw
anki is useful but the more time you spend with native material the less time you need to spend on anki
cut down on anki time by being more generous with passing cards

>>21408913
That's the curse of Patreon.

>>21408800
gaijins who dont watch their 10k hours will fuck this shit up every time.

>>21408918
>>21408881
>anki is useful but the more time you spend with native material the less time you need to spend on anki
This Dolly video is longer than my average daily Anki reps, though. Are you telling me that watching Dolly videos are not as useful for learning Japanese as just reading/watching content?

>>21408928
note: does not apply to gaijin from free distribution long vowel languages, such as those of Eastern Europe and Finland.

>>21408940
>not watching dolly at 2x speed, with subtitles on and the volume lowered

For english speakers the only real problem is conflating long vowels as being stress. If you don't do that you're gold.

>>21408924
Matt ruined everything with his Patreon shilling.

>>21408881
11:49 Holy shit, Dolly is going hard on Matt and his cronies. I think we just saw the first shots of a Civil War. Remember Gold Kokeshi Patrons, subscribe to Dolly.

Because these days every idiot that has even half a chance at this tries to make youtube their main source of income for some reason. I would be more sympathetic if they were actually building some sort of product and were using their youtube and whatever on the side like George does. But that would be too much work than sitting on your ass and waiting for desperate idiots to give you money via patreon.

>>21408979
i cant beleive dolly is this bad now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFUfMXPF2jg#t=435

>>21409017
the argument is pretty stupid but you gotta remember shes just trying to save the retarded perfectionists from themselves.

so it sounds like teh dollster doesnt know what they are anymore 1 month they are makin vids about flashcards the next month theyre shitting all over 2nd generation ajatt related emersionists and sayin flashcards arent that big of a deal now and titling their videos with things that sound like somethign id say

ヽ(　￣д￣)ノ

good thing about japanese is it’s like an upward spiral where you can predict new words based on the kanji you’ve seen in words you already know, it’s pretty cool

>>21408983
It's more because Youtube's ad payouts are fucking garbage. So that video that took you 3-4 hours to make, goes on to get 10k views and nets you about 8 dollars total, if you're lucky. On some of the shittier months, it'll get you 3 (ever wonder why everyone goes on vacations in January?) If you spend that much time working on a video every single day, you're quickly gonna give up because that's basically all your free time after work for fuck all dosh. So Patreonbux quickly becomes a necessity if youtube is gonna be worth your time.

Note that I don't actually watch any of the e-celebs that get shilled here other than a few of Dolly's earlier videos back when she was actually teaching something, so I dunno how much what I just said applies to them (specifically the 3-4 hours of work per video part).

おはようおにいちゃん

>>21409056
yea but that's why I'm saying it's retarded to try and make this a reliable stream of income like this. So far the only way these "content creators" support themselves for a while because in recent years there seems to be an abundance of people who will pay money for absolutely nothing through platforms like patreon.

What people should aim to do instead, especially with such a niche interest as Japanese language teaching advice, is use your youtube platform to promote your brand while either building a product that you can actually sell, or to get yourself recognized and picked up as a professional to work for some other company either freelance or as a full time employee.

Instead they're chasing the big youtuber dream and getting by on patreon alms.

Jamal is a White 20-something from America who LARPs as a Black guy and spends literally all day shitposting in DJT. Never uses capital letters or punctuation, and seldom uses line breaks either. Likes to spam links to Japanese rap videos. Claims to be fluent but has never provided any evidence of his ability.

Quiz is a gigantic narcissist and all round attention-seeker who spares no effort in trying to derail threads through all manner of obnoxious behaviours in order to focus the discussion all around himself. Any attention is good attention as far as he's concerned, so when he fails to get positive attention (which is 99% of the time), he resorts to insulting people, claiming he's the best person at Japanese in DJT and labelling everyone else "shitters", and anything else he can think of to start a shitstorm and get a reaction. Came to DJT after getting banned from the Discord channel he used to infest, where he went by the name "Mary". Also notable for shilling his autistic flashcards at every opportunity.

I've been MAKING time to sit down and REALLY learn Japanese instead of just half-assing it. I make from 730-830 my study time. It's been 11 days and I've learned more in that time than in the last year.

>>21409400
Who wants to watch anime raw or listen to anything else and understand only 0-60% as a beginner? You must have some kind of super dedication or a really boring life if you really want to do it. You can't even pick out sounds at first. I spend one year around 4-8 hours passivily listening to media, 1-2 hours of reading a day and then I could just tune in and understand 90% out of any listening material and pick everything out that I didn't understand. 90% still isn't very good though so be aware. But considering the time I put in actively.
