ruka please come back you were based

>>33654534
kys ruka you happa faggot. you are sick

>>33654548
but im not ruka why are you so triggered

>>33654563
no one likes you
well not since you stopped being casting couch material for old japanese men into hafu kids. i hope they didn't tear up your butthole too much

>>33654642
jamal, og and ruka are always on. or at least one of them is. and if they aren't, they'll search for their names when they do get on because they're attention whores.

>>33655048
lmfao

>>33655048
not sure what your issue is, he could very well have done his research and be more aware on some topics than you are, regardless of japanese level

>>33655242
cope

>>33655242
the thing is he is the dude making resources on the server
why would anyone listen to a fucking n5 tard lmao

using n-anything to judge japanese level is dekinai in the first place

werent there natives that needed multiple tries to pass n1? then you have the fact even n1 is "beginner" now as a cope for how shit the test
>>33655445
thats not true because you literally have to have perfect knowledge of that levels kanji to pass and that has nothing to do with you japanese level, its a kanji test and kanji isn't japanese
>>33655455
only if you consume kanji heavy literature. if your input is verbal you cant pass even though you can easily be entirely fluent in japanese on a spoken and listening level

>>33655048

this retard sure is frightened of kanji

>>33655454
he has a point. jlpt is a flawed test and only tests key areas and is multiple choice. it's really not good for anything except maybe getting into university. there are many people who have passed n1 and yet cannot even communicate with Japanese people.

>>33655454
>watching anime with subtitles is going to[...] make you learn the language
yes
but jp subs

おデート
like putting the o in front of a lown word

how effective is reading japanese definitions compared to just more cards?

>>33655522
>n1 has a lot of unnatural grammar patterns that do not appear in every day life and are only present on the test as a means of padding out the content,
not true
also the average jap can pass it easily. I guarantee some retards who speak english natively would fail the toefl

>>33655532
depending on the speaker, g can have a slight nasal sound to it. I think this may be what he is referring to.

>>33655550
no you just become your usual djt dekinai who can only "understand" a single dimension of japanese at best. anyway you can't apply every language to japanese it has to be attacked from multiple angles

>>33655541
I don't know who you think you're replying to but do you need me to highlight my posts for you or adopt a trip?

It's a pointless test but anyone who is actually good at Japanese can pass it easily (except for maybe the stiff grammar parts of n1). even people who suck and can't speak Japanese can pass n1, so of course someone who is actually good should be able to pass it easily. the guy who passed the top level of kanken can't even speak japanese he just memorized scribbles.

>>33655648
you're contradicting yourself. and hey retard, you seem to have gotten me confused with the other retard. do I need to adopt a trip so you can tell?

>>33655731
saying "b-but I heard a few natives failed it" isn't proof of anything. again, retards like yourself would probably fail a comprehensive english test even though you're probably native. outliers aren't the rule. the test is simple for most natives.
>you shouldn't expect a person to be at or above a native level for n1 thats just stupid.
never said this

>>33655822
>why are you lying when you said "never said this" if you knew what i meant?
i can say "i never said you shouldn't expect a person to be at or above a native level for n1" you absolute dumbfuck lmao. didn't read the rest of your post since you've proven yourself to be a complete retard

>>33655863
it's mostly people who convince themselves they don't need to learn kanji or advanced grammar and want to just watch anime all day to learn

i think this guy has a bigger boner for an imaginary whore than the bum

lmao djt is fun today. everyone you don't like is ruka.

>>33657522
if you have n2 it means you know japanese and companies will usually increase ur pay if you have n1 because of the higher quality work

For most of my Japanese reading career (4 years now) I’ve averaged about 30 minutes of reading most days, and I definitely felt improvement up until a certain point. But that improvement has been stagnant for quite a while now and I’d been wondering why my reading flow and pace wasn’t really improving that much anymore.

Then I decided to challenge myself quite a bit more than I ever have, aiming for 3 hours of reading Japanese a day. Mostly light novels, and if I read manga I’d count it as 2/3 the amount of time since I know manga involves looking at pictures and stuff (some might find that silly, I think its just more accurate for me personally).

Anyway, I found that after just ONE day of reading for 3 hours, the next day my reading felt so smooth, fast, and near effortless compared to before! Now some of you might be thinking “duh doing something for longer would make it easier” but heres the thing, that was ONE day.

It’s not like I’d never read 3 hours of Japanese before (probably around 800 hours total by now), but the 3 hours was always spread out over a few days to a week. Yet somehow, doing that much in a single day, turned on something in the Japanese-reading part of my brain that hadn’t been activated to that extent before.

So this taught me something I didn’t quite realize prior to this experience - its not only the amount over time that counts, but the volume over a given period of time. つまり、3 days of reading 3 hours a day, appears to be more powerful than 18 days of reading 30 minutes a day - even though they both add up to the same amount of time!

Just thought I’d share that for anyone who’s been stagnant in some area and has the time to do longer reading days (or whatever you want to practice - probably applies to listening, writing and speaking too) here and there to give you that boost in abilities! I personally think I’ll be happy if I can get in 2 or 3, 3-hour reading days a week, even if the rest are the regular 30 minutes or so.

Thanks for reading. Please share your thoughts and experiences!

I had a similar experience to you regarding the whole first falling in love with some romanticized idea of Japanese culture I had in my mind because of anime and that sort of stuff, then trying to learn Japanese, and finally ending up realizing that Japan isn't what I imagined what I thought it was. Early on, I also got attracted by many videos and articles I saw on Japanese culture where stuff that I'd seen in anime appeared (like takoyaki, people wearing yukata while going to summer festivals, hanami, and tiled roofs). This is probably gonna sound pretty stupid and obviously unrealistic, but because of this sort of stuff, I imagined Japan as some eternal happiness fantasy land full of cute schoolgirls having fun everyday lives. I also sometimes imagined myself getting to married to a traditional Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko wife because I'd seen memes (all of them made by Westerners who'd probably never actually been to Japan) claiming that Japanese women are more faithful and better at cooking than Western women.
The fact that many AJATTers/MIAers talked about how they were learning Japanese through anime didn't help either, and the more I noticed that Japanese words used in anime are also used by real life Japanese people, the more I felt like I had to keep on watching anime so I could eventually discover this supposedly great country.
Then I finally encountered real Japan and real Japanese people. I ended up having to accept that Japan is a real country, full of real people with real responsibilities and issues, and that even though many elements of Japanese fiction are inspired by real life Japanese culture, there is a strong difference between them, and that manga and anime are no less fictional for Japanese people than they are for anybody else.
In contrast to you, what I ended up hating the most is Western otaku/weeaboo communities who spread myths about Japan being just like anime and who take 日本人論 claims about Japan being a unique country with a unique culture at face value.

Oh BTW, summers in the Gulf Coast of Mexico are usually just as hot or much hotter than in Japan.

lmao he starts with english subtitles

Due to my work i don't have much time. My free time is really small, just one or two hours at night. Sometimes more if I'm lucky. So what I do is:

Whenever I'm working on my PC...

Listen to music if I need to be creative
Listen to podcasts / YT / audio books / online tv if i just want to pay attention to something.

Looks the same but it's not. If I'm just wanting for creativity, not all noises work for me. Only music moves me to what I call my "creativity zone" and that doesn't work with videos, podcast or others. But on the other hand, my work most of the time is pretty automatic. I've been doing this for years so i don't need to think too much what I need to do, pretty similar to driving when you're a newbie vs years of experience haha

In my reduced free time i try to do things like...

Read a light novel or manga i like. Novels are still hard so I'm on the easy way.
Watch any kind of visual, insert here anime / YT / cartoons / drama...

For mangas i have some of them i bought from Japan. I got the ones I love, this way i was pretty sure i would read it because i love them.

took me a while to get this

>>33660231
>like 1 page of manga per 15 minutes
i cant remember if it took me this long to read a page when i started but it feels good to be able to read a volume of manga in 45-60 minutes nowadays and im still slow

why can i read vns but cant for the fuck sakes read the installation setups

>>33660653
how the fuck do they come up with something this retarded. how does it even occur to someone to watch the same fuckin episode of some garbage anime every day for 2 months what the FUCK

>>33660865
thats why you mine the installation setup

lots of good stuff to watch on youtube regarding the 10 years since the tsunami

>>33660891

>>33661119
lmao is this why retards say stroke order is important? because they cant use a radical dictionary

>>33661166
stroke order is important for many reasons, it's also very obvious 99% of the time

btw stroke order and legibility don't matter on this google keyboard, it's pretty magical

>>33661119
does it need to be on android?
seems really convenient if i dont have to worry about stroke order nor radicals

had made my card for 蔓延る as はこびる so ive been reading it wrong all this time

>>33661187
ok say the reasons. you love saying things with authority with no explanation

yooooooooooo im hyped

why do all these retarded vtubers keep using duolingo for their language learning streams, i want to hurt them

Can native japs really handwrite something like 憂鬱 and その in the same line and have both words occupy around the same amount of space?

>>33661193
i'm pretty sure you can get the google keyboard on iphone... check the app store? it's on desktop as well.
>>33661202
being able to write things japanese people can read, breaking down a kanji easily, being able to read difficult fonts or very small fonts, being able to read handwriting and cursive

>>33661301
how many kanji do you know? it's easier to remember and distinguish similar kanji when you know the component radicals vs the entire written form

>>33661305
paid shills

dont watch vtubers bc they arent interesting or funny and they are only there to make money they arent doing it out of love or enjoyment

damn bro

imagine being some japanese kid and matt comes to live you for a while just doing anki in his room

>>33661945
pre-shill matt was so cool

if i were to rate a number of skills and accomplishments, i would say:

becoming a successful athlete: 8/10
raising a child into a successful adult: 9/10
performing open heart surgery: 10/10
doing injury-free workouts with free weights: 3/10
getting a hot girlfriend: 4/10
learning japanese until you acquire fluency: 2/10 and thats generous

>>33661730
how well do you think youd fare if you tried writing words you havent repped which are made up of the 500 kanji that youve practiced writing (in the 600 words you repped)

>>33661749
same question basically we all know there are lots of similar looking kanji and going down the recognition route we often never really learn which exact ones are being used in a word its just the general shape and compound combination that triggers recall of the reading and meaning

what im wondering is if practicing writing somehow helps you remember the exact kanji being used in words you havent explicitly practiced writing or if practicing writing somehow lets you passively pick up the ability to write words you recognize but didnt practice writing as you see them in your input later on

ripping substantial ass

>>33662020
not sure i agree with the athlete thing since the top 1% or w/e pretty much all comes down to genetics but it seems like you got your priorities in the right order

>>33662026
i have remembered how to write a lot of kanji outside of anki after learning the ones i have
also i say learning to write actually makes you read faster too because you know where to look to tell exactly what character it is

>>33662020
i forgot to say that this is supposed to be a difficulty rating.

i imagine there will be some spillover in that i can write unrepped words but it won't be perfect, no clue how big the spillover is going to be though
i was thinking about doing some actual writing practice by listening to audiobooks, trying to write down a few paragraphs of what i hear and see how well i fare

no

i have a degree in STEM i know what im talking about. AI will revolutionize the work field for sure. but nanomachines will revolutionize society because it will stop existing

>>33662239
i bet it's psychology

>>33662095
idk which guy you are but would you say if you learned all the jouyou using your method youd eventually be able to write most words which are written using jouyou kanji without any further active writing effort/production reps ie just by continuing to read and do your recognition reps (if thats something you do at all)

why wouldnt you just say the degree you had if it wasnt embarassing. it's an anonymous website lmao

>>33662246
n-no

yosh time to read my vinny for precisely a single hour

yeah someone's gonna identify and fire him when he tells us he has a bachelors in environmental science. dont take the risk anon

>>33662196
fake laughing is the only way to hide how upset he is

>>33662336
damn i understood that. bout to get fluent 8)

yeah go ahead and talk about your personal life on 4chan, and see how anonymous you are then

>>33662394
i have a degree in japanese studies. now try and dox me.

>>33662199
sounds good would be nice if you could post about how it went once you try it out as this is something im interested in knowing think there are only like 3 regulars itt whove practiced writing (im guessing youre the same guy who posted his card from aokana with the beach scene a couple of months ago) and id like to figure out what kind of results the methods lead to

プラーク

this is what happens when japanese people incorporate a loanword and just guess how its pronounced
the a is short you island dwellers

>>33662256
still bunko
but yeah if you do that and just read a lot it's pretty easy
but to get really good and fast you probably need to write a diary or something every day for years
to be fair i literally fuck up even the alphabet when handwriting because its so rare for me

>>33662417
japanese people are retarded

>>33662417
it's not a short a. go listen to it on forvo

did 30 reps in 4 hours only 50 more to go

>>33662417
>the a is short
i dont see an a in that word

>>33662417
try saying it outloud in english vs "practice"

>not understanding the genius of the japanese loanword phonology

>>33662463
damn brits are retarded

>>33662491
unironically this. either you dont know japanese or you dont know the language the word you're complaining about was borrowed from. it's a flawless system.

complaining about 'loan' words are retarded since those words are as much apart of that language as in the language that word came from

>>33662508
yeah a lot of times the word in english is itself a loan word so that's where the confusion comes from. it's based on the source langauge

>>33662543
he tweets quite a lot about struggling to understand katakana words, more proof he sucks

matts twitter game is weak

>>33662543
that one makes total sense though

>>33662564
but then there's ベルセルク which is totatlly different

ehem
シュール

>>33662543
i swear in fate its バーザーカー

got hung up on シビア for a while because my first instinct was a its a name, like Sivia or Civia

>>33662439
hmm this talk is making me wonder if theres some kind of online production quiz with this kind of format >>33661730 think itd be a pretty good test because you actually have to read and understand the whole sentence first though idk how youd implement the writing bit
also i guess people could cheat by typing out the kana and quickly going through the list of words that pop up though you probably wont be able to figure out how to write the word in time it even if you get a hit unless you really know how to write those kanji

>>33662598
>from yiddish shul

why are americans so entitled? its japanese, not english.
check out this word that i came across recently: アンケート
have fun figuring that out you retarded americans

>>33662598
reminded me of シュークリーム

most of the people i hear complain about katakana loanwords cant read kanji so im surprised you ankidrones hate it too. i love it. one of the primary reasons japanese might be easier than chinese

>>33662672
what og did to her apartment

>>33662635
anyone can use a dictionary but i am talking about シュール as surreal since thats the most common use

>>33662598
thats just an abbreviation of シュルレアリスム which is obviously fine

マクドナルドエネルギ

>>33662685
why do you assume everyone here is an ankidrone

dont really get the point of katakana why not write the words in romaji

>>33662672
is that supposed to be a rebuttal or are you just reinforcing my point

二重関節、関節過可動性
looked this up because i hear it in danish all the time but didnt know the jp
maybe ive heard the first but never made the connection

>>33662707
there's one guy hear who claims fluency without learning to read. are there more?

>>33662685
its the opposite kanji grinders have trouble with words in pure kana and they rarely encounter katakana in their drills so

>>33662718
just acquired this without having to look it up

>>33662733
ive seen it done in romaji before

>>33662717

it's neither of the things you said, it's obviously meant to be based on "reform" but has a meaning that would never be used in english
it's not hard to remember because of how stupid it is but that doesn't mean it's not stupid

>>33662617
it isn't

>>33662733
not a problem at all

たてがきは

にほんごにとって

とってもとってもたいせつ

>>33662814
true

>>33662755
>meaning that would never be used in english
so theres probably a whole bunch of words in english from other languages whos meaning doesnt match
>>33662774
was it simplified chinese if so then it doesnt matter what is done since it will always look ugly

>>33662795
finna buy one at the bakery right now

literally just saw it

>>33662818
it's worse in traditional because they rotate english words 90 degrees so tehy're vertical with tops of letters facing right

not a fan of pastries

>hataraku saibou black
>week after laoshu
>episode is about heart attacks

lmao

>>33662846
stfu

yeah lets write loan words in their original writing system instead of katakana great idea.
मण्डल

>>33662849
they do this in japanese too dunno why you need a chinese pic

>>33662834
krashner would be proud

>>33662849
why didnt they rotate IBM?

>>33662854
曼荼羅 isnt katakana

>>33662884
short acronym

>>33662821
>used to be
tategaki still is from up to down starting from the right
pick up literally any novel

>>33662900
you didnt understand the post

>>33662898
i guess the better question is why do they rotate the other words

>>33662849
lemme help you out

>>33662884
bc it wasnt translated to chinese like the others. they just use the english bc it's a short acronym. the others they translate then put english in parens

>>33662835
that sounds nasty lol

何々〜

>>33662911
nonono if you think about it
its not written from right to left but its tategaki but the tate only goes down one character

any sentences that mean something different when read right to left vs left to right?

i've listened to at least 20 hours of the guts theme in the past year

matts twitter description says "I help people learn languages well" but thats a straight up lie

>>33662977
it doesn't go down at all

>>33663032
helped me

helped you not make it

best and only good thing matt has taught is to look at the ajatt table of contents

matt has thought me literally nothing since ive never watched any of his videos

>>33655468
all literature is kanji heavy if you're not reading something made for a 6 year old

i have never watched any of matts videos nor have i been on his website.
im too budy actually learning japanese to care about some irrelevant e-celeb

>>33663048
post ur vocaroo

>>33663097
now say that in japanese

>>33655468
>werent there natives that needed multiple tries to pass n1?
no

lmfao look at this kid shilling away https://twitter.com/mattvsjapan/status/1370080382473834499

he mentions anki as an alternative and doesn't even link to anki's site, does he want the anki devs to go broke and die on the street?!?!?

>>33655468
you dont know japanese stop talking

>>33663106
i can say it in japanese, but why would i? youll just make fun of me because i got a particle wrong or because i made some other minor mistake

i hate to say it but matt acts like a stereotypical jew

>>33655468
>werent there natives that needed multiple tries to pass n1
citation needed

>>33663140
i wonder why

>>33663139
getting a particle wrong isnt a minor mistake

is matt the darksydephil of learning japanese?

it's funny you post a video where a native supposedly gets a few questions of the n1 wrong (without even showing what they were so it might have just been clickbait) and a few days later it turns into "didn't some natives fail the n1?????"

the romance in kekkon dekinai otoko actually got to me a bit

>>33663173

yosh just finished reading my vinny for precisely a single hour

how would you even use roam for language learning anyway

>>33663174
well djt says if you make some mistakes it means you don't know japanese, so why wouldn't that apply to natives too?

>>33663176
matt is a guy who teaches people japanese using a method he calls "ajatt" all japanese all the time.

>>33663173
that would be yoga

>>33663201
no lol i am referring to whoever this darksydephil is

>>33663182
how is that strat working for you anon

matt is racist

>>33663201
uh no i heard refold is completely different than ajatt and mia, matt said so himself

>>33663215
he's reading more than you, so it's working out pretty well

>>33663235
i read more than an hour most days

manga and anime isn't reading

>>33662802
i read the manga for a while and i already completely forgot about tsukasa's sister
got bored of it and dropped it by the next arc
only watching the anime because the op is great

>>33663217
ofc he is, just like this thread or 80% of his male white edgy alt right fandom

>>33663293
>>33663296
probably gonna finish sharin very soon
but i read at least 20 mins a day just on twitter and news stuff

are there any light novels suitable for beginners, or are they all going to be moderately advanced? i'm tired of just learning vocab and want to fucking read already

so, regional pitch is pretty close to how english dialects work in terms of different sounds and weights?

>>33663215
i dunno, i typically don't read every day so setting 1 hour where i do it is helpful for consistency. id probably read more if i found something i enjoyed a lot but that's rare

>>33663327
if you want to read then read. it doesn't have to be a light novel. try reading manga, try reading a jrpg, try watching anime with japanese subtitles, etc.

"read" a volume of gantz in like 15 minutes cause 70% of the pages had less than 3 sentences of text on them

>>33663327
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVsZRUQ8YH4

is about as easy as you can get

>>33663343
was it as awkwardly natural sounding as they say?

>>33663328
its kinda hard to explain
just focus on hyoujyungo pitch and then one day you will hear some kansaiben and think it sounds fucked up

>>33663327
if you can read a light novel, youre a beginner

>>33663364
i did have a laugh when i started reading it cause its so fucking easy that it makes his boasting sound even more pathetic

kansai sounds better to the ears than hyoujungo tho

>>33663342
>>33663354
i don't like manga
i could do anime i guess but i much prefer novels
>>33663377
i'm like pre-beginner, then, lol

>>33663343
and 50% of the pages have no words on them

>>33663327
