Why do people come to djt to learn Nihongo? haha like, dude, just read eroge wtf it's not even that muzui

Well, A week after completion of RTK1, my reps now only take 40 minutes per day. I think it's time to get back into all my other Anki studies. As a rule, I'm going to limit myself to 90 minutes a day, which in combination with setting New cards to come after Reviews, shouldn't be too difficult to keep self-regulating.

If you made a huge effort to consciously replicate to replicate Japanese consonants, vowels, etc. all as described in phonetics manuals or on Wikipedia articles, I do not doubt that you could slowly become accustomed to being able to almost naturally sound like a Japanese native. I know this goes against the unconscious part of language acquisition that Stephen Krashen hypothesized, but then again so does pitch accent study and "shadowing" as put into the AJATT/MIA guides.
The truth, young people's minds are just as bad at learning stuff like languages or anything else as older people. In addition, people who don't sleep well or do drugs can fuck up their memory quite badly.
As a matter of fact, I'd say young people seem like they're better at learning stuff because they're still in the habit of having to cram stuff into their minds for the sake of passing tests or impressing people or any of that kind of shit. That is to say, they're good because they have to make lots of effort to remember stuff. Older people seem like they're less willing to do this kind of extreme challenges (be it because they have full time jobs, children, or they just genuinely don't care about such trivial pursuits), even though, given enough motivation, they could easily do them.
If somebody like Nuke didn't learn Japanese, I'll guess it must be because of a lack of motivation to keep consistency, not because he's dumb or old or anything like that.

>二十歳

Hypothetically, if we found a 69 year old mega-autist who had never been exposed to Japanese, but had insane amounts of motivation to learn everything about Japanese grammar, phonetics, vocabulary, culture, etc., and were willing to become a hikiNEET for 2 years for the sake of AJATT, I believe he should be able to become just as good at speaking Japanese as Khatz, Matto, or anybody else.

>>21987429
not as good as matt but as khatz or other ajatters sure

Finished the Anki setup section of my site (for now). It has a total of 12 completely independent things to do which is more than I expected. There is so many things wrong with the default configuration of Anki that our guide doesn't seem to cover.
I'll take a short break for now and write Yomichan setup next.

Is it true that khatzuobushi died because of als?

Are there any good LNs on itazura?
I've mostly stuck to shit where I've already watched/read the adaptation in english, and I usually end up getting bored after a while.
And most of the random ones I've picked up end up being generic isekai shits.

>>21987494
空ろの箱と零のマリア is quite good in terms of plot, and relatively easy to understand as far as LNs go.

how many words do you have to understand when watching anime before new words stick a lot easier

>>21987571
The 600-1500 word level seems to be the level at which it's easiest to continuously acquire new vocabulary. Before that, there's too many unknown words and after that, it's too difficult to find words that are common enough for you to not to forget.

there are no word levels

stop that

>>21987602
what's a word level?

doesnt exist isnt real fake news

>>21987607
The number of words you can recall the meaning and pronunciation of upon spotting them in kanji, or their kanji and meaning upon hearing them/seeing them in kana, or kanji, meaning, and pronunciation if you see an English word that you regard as their "official translation".
The truth is, there are no objective word levels since language varies according to context, but it is kind of possible to say that certain words are more common in general than others, which one might be able to more easily spot in, for example, fiction.

>>21987625
>but it is kind of possible to say that certain words are more common in general than others
definitely so shut the fuck up

>>21987632
no

>>21987571
probably like 30k

>>21987641
That's the level at which you'll feel like it's impossible to learn anything new like Faust at the beginning of his eponymous play.
If you find any new words at that level, it must be because you're either reading mega-chuuni stuff, high lit made for extremely well educated native speakers, or clicking through random Wikipedia articles, and any word you ever see at that level will be a word you'll never see again.

Matt says that khatz wasn't as good as he thinks he was about 18 months in since matt needed an additional 2 years of ajatt to be able to read any topic with ease, I wonder if Khatzz maybe was the real deal and matt was just doing a light variant of ajatt.

>>21987671
matt immersed more than khatz and matt and other mia cultists are well aware of what khatz claimed he could do after 18 months.

is mia just 1 big group of scrubs who wish they were as good as khatz with their leader being the biggest fan being only full of butthurt because not only could he not be like him but he couldnt even learn japanese ?

https://streamable.com/hlr5f

>>21987671
Matt claims he spent most of the time with one earbud on doing passive immersion with anime and the like, in addition to which he completely avoided outputting till going to Japan.
Maybe Khatz was getting more input from a variety of sources, unlike Matt. Compare what Matt says he read (light novels, novels, VNs) against what khatz has on his playlists.

>>21987705
matt didn't read VNs. he read light novels and novels.

>>21987671
Khatz is almost definitely lying, and at best is just so delusional he doesn't realize how much he's exaggerating. I think some of them are seemingly within the realm of possibility, for someone studying 16 hours a day at inhuman levels, but anyone with 18 months experience will know this is bullshit. 4500 kanji from memory is the real clincher, like come the fuck on.

With language learning you really have to be on constant guard about people lying about their abilities. Although it's harsh (and Quizmaster embodies how taken too far you can end up as an obnoxious asshole), you really shouldn't believe the claims of anyone who doesn't attach solid proof of said claims. Especially with time-based claims since you might end up comparing yourself to impossible achievements.

i wonder what barry thinks of his son being 24 and still not having his undergrad degree

>>21987671
Some of what khatz is saying, like being able to read Japanese last names or city names, or talking his way around difficult words, does seem quite realistic, but the rest of stuff is probably on par with his mom jokes or the general attitude of his website, which is partly humor and partly advice for people who really have no idea how to start learning Japanese.

i think you guys are underestimating how autistic khatz is, he did ajatt for pretty much all of his waking hours

>>21987762
khatz as a uni student and played sports and such. it's a fact he got less input than matt who went full NEET mode.

imagine watching pulp fiction with ur friends in the living room lmao

Does autism have anything to do with making shitty and beaten jokes that other people are sick of hearing?
If so, then Khatz is 100% autistic.

>>21986857
i can't believe 綾乃 is in the op

>>21987777
actually thats a trademark of normies

>>21987837
What kind of jokes do autists make, if that happens to be the case?

>>21987833
read the text in the background its basically quoting u in japanese

>>21987843
i dont think autists make jokes their humour centers are busted

Can someone post the ass immersion approach image

>>21987452
When do you think it will be done?

>>21987871
QM finally comes out of the closet, grats

>>21987892
I'm honestly not sure. I'm hoping within the next few days. Could be done tomorrow depending on how productive I am.

>>21987429
When you are retired like Steve the link shill, it's easy to grind languages.
>>21987452
Remember to adjust your interval modifier to 200% for maximum efficiency.

>>21987671
Khatz lied about the 18 months thing. It's proven based on old posts of his found online that he'd already been learning for at least a year by the time he claims on the AJATT site to have started (June 2004).

hey guys i know some nihongo, pls join my patreon!

>>21986857
I'm doing the EZ nihongo guide but my memory has been getting stuck with the vocab part.

I'm at 290/625 I think.
I'm spending about 2-3 hours on Anki everyday.
I've decided to set the 'new cards' value to 0 and approach it in a different manner.

If any anons have some suggestions let me know.

https://twitter.com/mattvsjapan/status/1168192045518712832

still waiting for qm to make a twitter for weird vague concept tweets

would like to know of a language learning philosopher that actually posts tweets in japanese

>>21988037
Uh I see Tae Kim is kind of retarded anyway and I doubt he knows a lot of Jap (looking at how shitty his self written examples are) but I really think matt is huffing his own farts too much in that tweet, could have just said 'You mean 許婚 right? haha' and be done with it instead he does this act and attaches a dictionary image I mean come on dude

Here's my tweet
Japanese is easy

Just read more bro

>>21988059
you sniff your farts more than he does you have NO room to judge

>>21988063
think I'm doing it in healthy moderation

>>21988009
why the fuck does matt tell people to use that korean fuck's grammar guide?

>>21988086
because he's fluent and can tell the guide is fine for beginners and anyone who disagrees is a poser.

>>21988088
>believing that things ought to be done right on the first time is being poster

what is a better alternative for tae kim?

Core6k contains errors too, like defining よくas "very" instead of as "good" or "well", so beginners shouldn't use that either.
No wonder nobody ever learnt nihongo back in the old days of djt. They were all using shitty decks and inaccurate grammar guides.

>>21988148
i for one have pre-ordered the third edition of genki
can't wait until next year to start learning japanese

The only way to learn nihongo is by putting pocky sticks inside your anus and posting an ahegao pick of yourself on twitter

>>21988103
The true alternative is learning japanese without any grammar study, by input/immersion. Treating grammar structures as words and looking them up when necessary. And when you have a good grasp of the language, head to any website that teaches 国語文法 in japanese and finally learn grammar in japanese.

>>21988103
Cure Dolly is BY FAR the best grammar resource for japanese. You just have to get used to the bizarre presentation but it's worth it.

>>21988166
NO, FUCK THAT DOLL MAN

why is the difference so big?

>>21988179
One gives you the number of times it appears. The other gives you its value off a frequency list.

>>21988179
because that info is useless

jamal forgot to post the kagayaiteru kinokos today.
i guess the meme has died

>>21988153
>Core6k contains errors too, like defining よくas "very" instead of as "good" or "well", so beginners shouldn't use that either.
i can't tell if you people are joking when you say these errors matter or what

>>21988207
EVERYTHIN fuckin matters.
It is impossible to unlearn anything you do incorrectly on the first try.

>>21988192
Not true.

I am learning le hanzhí

>>21988153
I wouldn't say defining よく as very is an error (よく似ている), but it's a problem if it's its only definition.

>>21988009
>>21988037
It's already well known that TK doesn't know Japanese.

>>21988453
>also, it's not very good
VJG is probably not perfectly ideal, but then again, neither is any kind of resource. The only way to really learn how nihongo works is by watching stuff, reading stuff, and looking words in a dictionary up, not by using any guide or deck or ANY of that homosexual shit.

If input fags made a guide on how to learn Mathematics, what would they tell people to do?
"Just play around with numbers and variables lmao"

>>21988541
wow way to own yourself

Or would they say "Stare at a million proofs before attempting to make even a single calculation"?

idk what they'd say but i heard that you should just drill a ton of practice problems until you can eaisly solve any similar problems

that sounds like a good idea if you have the eye旧 for it

>>21988629
lol

Do you guys take notes when you do your aniki reviews?

>>21988743
Yep, if I lapse a card, and still fail it again in the session, I make a note of it and try to work out either why I can't remember it, or potentially, why the card is suboptimal/ambiguous. Then I write it out again a few times.

>>21988629

why not skip the word and go back to the word months later when you're better

>>21988774
Even without checking I believe you

no context for you

>>21988179
because one is a narrative/descriptive word. why would you need to say that in an anime when you can see the character doing it?

>>21986857
ouo.press/vMNFDS

>>21988818
this actually makes sense

>>21988864
well yea obviously you little turd

>>21988788
because that doesn't actually solve the problem, usually there is some way to make the information stick by tweaking the cards or whatever

Do big toes count as oyayubi? If not, explain this faggotry.

>>21988922
you don't think getting better at the language and forming new connections between words fixes the problem of a word not sticking?

>>21988827
aint clickin that shit

what is it?

>>21988925
of course it can, but that's not a magic cure-all, sometimes by changing the phrasing of the answer, using a different context sentence (OR in some cases, straight-up fixing a false translation), you can make something that -seemed- difficult suddenly stick easily

>>21988930
yea but in the time you spend that effort on fixing that card you could have repped like 5 more words in anki

>>21988933
So what? That's a ridiculous way to look at it. Sooner or later you're going to have to fix some of your cards.

>>21988923
this question was obviously asked towards married men
and as such a man and his wife are one in flesh, therefor their's four

lets gooooooooooooo

>>21988935
>Sooner or later you're going to have to fix some of your cards.
huh why? you can just mine the word again once you're better and it's easy

>>21988940
how is that different from fixing it now

>>21988923

>>21988944
you can mine a random word you come across with the click of a button but if you "fix" a card you have to actively seek out a better sentence or whatever you recommended.

>>21988951
ok then, fucking jisho.org...

死んだあとは骨すら残らず消える

oh yay more shit i can read but can't hear!!!! should i listen to this stupid ass fucking sentence on repeat by recording it with sharex or just move on and pray that i'll be able to hear a similar phrase next time?

>>21988981
>record with sharex
if you used mpv you could just loop it by pressing l twice

>>21988987
i can keep pressing the up arrow key to repeatedly listen to lines. i'm talking about saving a bunch of lines for later and sticking them in a music player and listening to them on repeat when i jack off or something.

is it ok to mix sentence cards that only have audio for the word i didnt know with anime cards in the same deck or am i to keep them segregated?

>>21989001
that will definitely cripple you permanently

>>21989001
ask quizmaster. i don't think he wants people deviating from the anime card template, sucking, telling people they use anime cards, and then anime cards being unfairly blamed for the suckage.

so you need to wait for quizmaster to give you the OK on everything. hopefully he covers this on his website.

>>21989001
by sentence cards do you mean the sentence on the front? anime cards have the sentence on the back, if you are talking about cards with the sentence on the back without sentence audio they are context word cards
you can practically keep them all in the same deck is doesn't matter

I think I've written about 30% of the entire site

>>21989024
im gonna read 0% of it

>>21989027

>>21989010
my anime cards have the sentence on the front

>>21989037
those are not anime cards but sentence cards
you'll get the difference once I publish my site

>>21989038
but its anime card because it has a picture from the anime to go along with the sentence

>>21989050
uh you aren't getting it no matter just wait for the site and for now don't call them anime cards

>>21989008
look at this dude he doesn't even do anime cards

this is why I need a website to explain it to people

>>21989058
smdh good thing you're making this website keep up the good work.

>>21989058
IVE literally seen u post videos of ur card WITH sentence on the front which you called "anime cards"

so tired of your shit

>>21989050
it's only an anime card if quizlet says so

anime card = card with anime dont see the big deal

What's your average reading spead in Japanese, qm? I'm kind of curious, since you've spent most of your time making and reviewing cards out of primarily auditory material.

>>21989069
can you show those cards?
there is some special exception cards for certain items but I'll cover that on the website

I should read 左手 as ゆんで right?

>>21989077
u retroactively delete your videos, nothin i can do to point out your fraudulency

>>21989076
I'm not sure man I don't really pay attention to such things
it's pretty decent though and I wager above that of the average learner
think reading is to a large part just making use of your predictive ability of the language and it doesn't matter if you are reading or listening for that, just got to know nihongo

>>21989083
I'm still not sure what you are talking about
if you are talking about what I think you are talking about I can explain it to you
but if you are just making shit up there isn't really worth adressing
just wait for the website I guess

no one whos studied japanese for only a few years can really read over 100 to 300 characters per minute with maximum comprehension. natives take 10 to 15 years of daily reading to get to 500 to 600 cpm. people here will always lie and inflate their reading speed to seem better than they are. its pathetic

It seems like it would make things way simpler than ShareX though. Being able to autogenerate a card in one key press while just simply watching the show in your media player vs. manually recording audio and shit.

george's master disciple can understand 99% of anime and drama compared to george's 99.9999% comprehension.

>>21989633
So far all automatic clip generation is very sub par including what that plugin can do
I may cover or may not cover this type of thinking on my side but for now just let me tell you that my way of making cards is still the best one
wait for the site

>>21989642
better than 99% of the world, not 99% total comprehension of anime and drama*

also the master disciple shit talks matt.

>>21989642

There's legitimate criticisms of Matt and he's made some funny gaffes but the fact this twerp who worships George's ability thinks he's in a position to criticize him is hilarious.

How about a guide on how to start practicing output instead of 862594th "learn japanese by reading alot" guide?

>>21989678
that guy is fucking annoying

>>21989679
just make 日本人友達

>>21989645
>So far all automatic clip generation is very sub par including what that plugin can do
Yeah, I've noticed when I tried subs2srs that when you don't use padding for the timings you sometimes end up with part of the line missing, and when you do use padding you often end up getting part of the previous or following line (or both) mixed in with the one you want.

I was actually considering trying to manually crop audio using frame-precise timecodes in ffmpeg, generating the card screenshot with mpv's built in screenshot feature, and auto-generating the card itself with a combination of nazeka+mpv's subserv plugin (sends subs to the browser), but I'll wait and see what method your site offers as an alternative.

>>21989679
no one here is in the position to make such a guide

>>21989602
>>21989608
Why the fuck would you re-encode (worsening quality via lossy-to-lossy compression) rather than just downloading H264 in the first place? That's what you should be telling people to do.

BTW, anyone releasing shit in H265 doesn't know what they're doing and you shouldn't be downloading their encodes in the first place.

>>21989725
sometimes jp subs are timed for a particular release and you know it'll be synced whereas it can be a crapshoot with other releases. i've never noticed the quality loss so i don't care if i have to re-encode but obviously if someone does care they can find a different release.

>>21989730
You can just adjust the timings with Aegisub by however many milliseconds you need and overwrite the sub file. Much quicker and all around better idea than re-encoding the video.

If something is timed for a BD release, that's all it should take even if the timings are slightly off between one release and another.

>>21989743
>Much quicker
what the fuck are you talking about? i already sometimes have to do that for subs which aren't synced to a particular release and that is way more time consuming compared to a script you doubleclick and bam all the vids get converted.

>>21989725
That's what I do and I'll tell people to download h264. I'm only downloading from private trackers though so I'm not sure how limited the choice is with public ones.

>>21989725
>BTW, anyone releasing shit in H265 doesn't know what they're doing and you shouldn't be downloading their encodes in the first place.
there's always that one autist who's really invested into this shit lmao
i download 265 because it saves a lot of space and is perfectly fine unless you start counting pixels

>>21989753
yea if you only use public trackers sometimes there's only one release available. i've run into that a couple times.

>>21989750
The conversion process itself takes time.

Aegisub:
open sub file
timing > shift times
enter a time, e.g. 1 second
ok
save

You must be a boomer who barely even knows how to switch their computer on if this is at all time-consuming for you.

What has literally every human on earth already done but some people still think is impossible?

>>21989775
idk uppercase man what is it

>>21989770
>The conversion process itself takes time.
but it doesn't take long and you don't have to do anything. the process you're describing is fast but you have to do it for every subtitle which is annoying. but you run the script and bam no more worries. it doesn't take long for the first episode to convert and at that point it's smooth sailing because by the time you finish watching it the rest of the episodes will be converted. also you can convert ahead of time while you do something else. if the quality loss bothers you then don't do it.

>>21989782
Learn language

I just got into a flow state and spent 28 minutes on Anki without realizing. If only that could happen every day

>>21989786
hahahha nice

>>21989787
Dude anki just gets easy over time. That's prolly what you're experiencing.

Man writing the site has been more time consuming than I'd like
I hope it ultimately saves me time because I can just link the site instead of arguing about shit later

qm's site is likely to have more content than matto's

this show is fun
it's also pretty easy as long as that faggot busting out proverbs isn't around

>>21989802
doesnt matt's site only have like 2 paragraphs total? lmao

>>21989821
i have been saying this for months nothing has changed he has not even started stage 2

>>21989802
Probably. Matt seems like an idealist who wants to talk about the theory behind language learning and imitate Khatzumoto, whereas QM seems more like a pragmatist who wants people to get on the same train as him.

>caring about new anime

i care about new anime in that its all fuckin terrible and anime is dieing

anime is dying and so am I

>>21990031
i dont talk to people who watch anime and dont follow animtube so my options are to ask yall, watch related shows via something like mal, or new shows. what do you suggest.

anime is thriving and i am excited to try out some new things

i wonder which cartoon children moetard will be jacking off to next season

>>21990016
i haven't kept up with anime in years
there's four anime i'm vaguely interested in going on right now (kimetsu no yaiba, dr stone, arifureta shokugyou, danmachi)
whereas i looked at some lists of the supposedly best anime in 2018 and nothing at all caught my interest from the descriptions

>>21990043
i'm not that into anime. i just find ones i like and use mal to find similar ones.

what is the growth of the anime industry like
even if you say they are dying from a quality point of view are they actually making money and expanding? just wondering

>>21990059
i mean theres more anime being made now than ever so just like all the shit we hate and think is terrible like dlc and lootboxes people still buy the shit so it still gets made

Okay, time to start a Twitter to promote this shit.

>>21990244
Where do facts come from?
Sense experience. The only shit that's a priori is pure logical relations, like A = A, B =/= A. If something holds true in one case under an extremely specific set of variables, then it holds true. If it holds true with a very broad set of variables, then it holds true in all those cases. You aren't God. You can't guess how anything will turn out unless you've seen it.

>>21990263
Lol I meant to say your own personal experience, not all experience.

>>21990263
>The only shit that's a priori is pure logical relations
nope we don't know that we just assume that or else everything would be absurd and we couldn't make computers and play games and have fun at the park but absurdity in itself doesn't mean something is wrong just absurd and beyond our comprehension

>>21990263
facts happen when i tell u them

https://twitter.com/TheJapanCode/status/1168314848884793346

someone tell this dude to immerse his face in your fist

>>21990279
It's possible for something to be true even in spite of it not being a priori.
But then, if we wanted to state true stuff about the fragments of the world as we see it, we'd have to rely on extremely long descriptions and boring descriptions, as follows:
"At the moment conventionally counted in our human society as part of one hour ago, I was putting my gaze towards that which would be recognized as my computer scene onto what I subjectively judge to be an erotic scene from a eroge of two girls fingering each other, which I found to be quite sexually stimulating."

japanese subtitled anime counts towards 10k hours listening to anime?

日本語を読めば、読むほど読めるようになる。

>>21990484
Sure, but subs should be strictly supplementary.
That is to say, you should only use them for lines you couldn't've quite understood without them.

>>21990500
not him but what if that's all lines

>>21990500
if there's subtitles on the screen i will probably look at them most of the time, that goes for anything

>>21990484
yea, but remember that after 1000 hours of raw/nip subbed you should stop watching anime and move to japan and exclusively read good shit.

>>21990504
Then keep them off except whenever you're rewinding a clip to listen to something

i got flashcards for days

i wonder if anyone here could beat matt in a debate.

>>21990566
Do you understand it? Does it seem entertaining?
Then read it.

>>21990566
i have not read it but it if compells you go for it. in general 1600 is about average kanji of an average length book, so it is not going to be super easy, but kanji is not everything in terms of difficulty. My first ln was kino no tabi and i struggled with it but learned a lot and got a lot of the story. The most important thing is interest overall.

>>21990581
My first LN was Kino no Tabi too, but I'd already read Nanatuiro Drops before it, so what kind of surprised me the most about it were some of the military words and long-drawn-out gunfight scenes.

I feel that. Been working through core 6k for a couple years now and in the final stretches I'm sitting at 300 reviews per day. It takes probably 3 hours a day on that alone and it's a fucking nightmare. Miss even one day and guess what? Now you have 500 to do tomorrow. Hardly leaves room to study other things.

who here actually read all 10 volumes of kino

>>21990609
before kino no tabi i ate like 14 volumes of manga and like 2 vns. it is funny to think that was like 1.5 years ago and how much better i am now despite feeling like i am complete shit.

>>21990632
>2 vns
What had you read?

>>21990643
only if its comprehensible otherwise its mostly a waste of ur time

keep in mind ur watching as well as listening when it comes to being comprehensible

feels like I'm writing my final DJT manifesto
as if this is embodies the accumulation of all the hours of shitposting I have done on here

>>21990643
this does appear to have japanese audio yes

>>21990650
they were short free eroges i found, nothing of note. since then i have reda 3 more vns(only ones i can remember the names of are nekopara and subahibi), 9 more volumes of manga, 22 lns, 6 real novels, and I also watch at least an hour of raw anime a day. I am self assesed n2 level.

QM, do you believe that your Japanese comprehension abilities are higher or not as high as your Russian comprehension abilities?

>>21990666

What was your first real novel?

>>21990677
my comprehension abilities are higher in Japanese but I can communicate a lot more fluently in Russian

>>21990609
ive found multiple words in kino's first volume that japanese natives have never heard of before so i'm surprised its one of the beginner recommended reads

george doesnt count as native. but one was a word that means like shell of a bullet and another was a verb meaning to eat a lot of food or "stuff yourself," i dont remember cause i deleted those cards from anki and stopped making cards for words if i didnt know they were actually used after i found that out

>>21990688
It's because the grammar is pretty simple for the most part. It's also helpful that it's a bunch of self contained short stories instead of a single big one.

Does anyone have the raws of Phenomeno scanned online? I looked through the resources page, but couldn't find it. Not even looking for translations -- I know they don't exist -- just the raws.

about to watch the final episode of hyouka (3rd time overall i think, 2nd time watched without eng subs) then gonna rewatch psychopass, 1st time without eng subs. have the audio already downloaded for all the episodes for both shows, gonna listen while sleeping, pooping, walking to class, etc. will keep you guys updated

I've never seen a single MIAer who's into traps.

Well, I've never seen a single MIAer who's into herpetology. What does that have to do with anything?
Does nuke like lizards?

The problem with djt and MIA is that people are too obsessed with translating passages off chuuni lit or card types than doing cool stuff like learning every single word related to topics you care about

how do we solve this epic problem

just wait for the site

People who are into herpetology should learn herpetology-related Japanese vocabulary.
People who are into philosophy should learn philosophical vocabulary
People who are into cars should learn car-relared vocabulary.
So on and so forth.
Nobody needs to be a polymath in our day and age.

you shouldn't learn any words because you are interested in something retard you just consume what you are interested in and the words come naturally or with anime cards

I'm thoroughly convinced the only reason Japan's economy is fucked is 100% their own doing, fault, and incompetence.

i don't regret playing it, but yeah, i've definitely learned my place. i feel like a had a huge leap in competence from when i started (which, duh, it's been 9 fucking months (i know, that's way too long)). not sure exactly where to go from here, i think i'm just gonna play divex because it's apparently good.

>than doing cool stuff like learning every single word related to topics you care about
That's the autism thing to do, just buy a book on the subject or open the Wikipedia page and learn the words while reading. Going out of your way to artificially learn them is bizarre as fuck.

havent read today

learned about 枯れ専 today

>>21991266
It's pretty solid. The gameplay is better than the story even more so this time around.
And yeah 9 months is way too long. For reference I finished Dive 2 in a week, and I wasn't even playing all of those days. It's fine though. Baldr Sky is pretty big.

>>21991307
i could've gotten through it in a way shorter span of time, probably, but i didn't exactly read every day of course. i'm looking forward to the day where i can at least read fast enough to keep up with the dialogue in auto mode.

Current table of contents and what I have written so far. Both the table of contents and the finished sections are still subject to change though. Any thoughts so far?

Less than I'd like to admit, since I've repeatedly tried to get into books and failed, but 39.

>>21991404
Huh? No way, it's pathetic. My friend's at 848 books read over the past 6 years (yes, she's been reading a book every 3 days that consistently). It's not hard to finish a book in a day. 39 over a few years is beyond pathetic. (And I mean, I read 20 of those in a single month, the one time I managed to successfully get hooked on a long running series).

>>21991461
your friend is a super autist. that's not the norm at all. even natives don't read a fraction of that much. i saw an article the other day that said japanese adult natives read less than 10 books a year on average.

>>21991527
Normies are fucking idiots who waste their lives watching dumb TV shows and drinking alcohol. There's no point comparing cultured people dedicated to the consumption of media to them.

what do people mean by "studying ipa charts"
it's kinda important to know how the ん in 雰囲気 is pronounced, and that す, ふ, じ and し aren't pronounced how an english speaker would expect, but to me "studying ipa charts" implies learning what "voiced alveolo-palatal fricative" means

>>21991535
Do you seriously think that someone who consistently reads over 100 books a year isn't a turbo autist?

>>21991535
i can't disagree with you there. but i still think it's autistic to consider 40 full novels within just a few years as a second language learner of japanese, a small amount. let alone to think 848 is anything other than crazy as fuck (not bad, just crazy and extreme).
