think your face deserves a spot in the picture. you're one of the biggest talking points each thread.

i sometimes pick up new anime because i wanna understand the characters in a hentai doujin more

>>36322045
Stop using Matt for OP. Thx

>>36322045
Dont fall for the meme patreon cash grab guide

don't use guides just read

for ような and ように and ようにする i think i get what’s going on when i read stuff but when i try to think about it and translate it or explain it, i confused the daylights out of myself
what’s going on here

How many months of experience do you need with Japanese before you can start reading visual novels with it? Assuming one hour of practice every day

>>36322045
The tatsumoto guide contains bad advance and links to known malware, beginners be warned

>>36318824
You're right but my head isn't filled with a list of descriptions for poses and i'd fair better by looking at what's there than imagining one and then googling for it.

>>36322557
2 years

>>36322467
Don't translate, understand.
>>36322557
Depends on your iq and motivation as well as time.
How would anyone know, we don't know you, or what you are doing, or when, or how.
The average person will never be able to read a vn for instance.

>>36322684
Well how long did it take YOU before you could start reading visual novels?
>>36322632
I don't mean completely fluently without having to look stuff up. I just mean how long does it take before its feasible enough to actually sit down and read one without losing your mind over not knowing what things mean

>>36322045
The only guide anyone needs is pic related
>>36322708
Anon I can't read visual novels. I mean, I imagine I could, but I don't want to
And that brings us to the motivation part.
Sec

I don’t understand how to use hiragana, do I just have to memorize words like with english?

>>36322708
Here, the finest djt autists made this chart, just do anacreon's core deck until you get to whatever level you are aiming for for whatever you want to read.
Its not really gonna be fast, and def not fun at first.

>>36322684
>I totally understand it dude, I just can't tell you what it means or even describe its function

What the hell, JOPs? It's that easy after all?

>>36322708
i was able to read vinnies more easily after i mined thousands of words from anime

>>36322747
Core 6k is better because all the people who know Japanese did it

>>36322738
Nah just put random hiragana together and that should work.
>>36322752
Based
>>36322748
If reading someone elses understanding was enough, we would all be fluent in a month.
You have to understand it yourself. Understanding something and being able to explain it are different too.
For instance, what is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Dont hurt me
No more

Do you know what I actually got the headband thing and it turns out I can't fall asleep while wearing it so that sucks. Still useful for running though.

>>36322752
>tfw not a japanese only peasant
気持ち悪い。

>>36322708
I started on the first day.

>>36322778
the only headband you need is a 鉢巻
バンザイ！

>>36322799
I acquired 巻 from sushi.

i feel triggered whenever i see shit written by english vn fans. they go through so many lengths to avoid learning japanese. im ad they're not learning it though. pic unrelated.

im glad they're not learning it*

>>36322803
i acquired 太巻き from 閃乱カグラ

>>36322803
it looks so close to 巷

Someone started a knew death game manhwa, it's about 8 people having to survive in an underground base for 100 days and in the end they get to split the prize pool of some large amount of money, the catch is they have to buy things to survive using the prizepool and all the prices are 1,000 times the normal.

>>36322841
wow leave it to the koreans to make something completely unoriginal. literally all of that has been done before.

>>36322853
Really? Link it.

>>36322841
For me its the isekai where dude turns into a vending machine.

>>36322853
Nobody is 100% original

burned out for a couple of days

>>36322870
this gif is fucking with me

>>36322557
im less that 6 months in and im on my second one. it's dick hard though

>>36322773
if you think you understand something, but you can't explain it, then you don't understand it.

if you want my opinion about what love "is", and not just how the word is used, it has no particular meaning, because like money, ethics, and other such things, it is reflexive, and depends on its own concept for its existence.

>>36322894
I remember it from way back and I think I understand it know and why it works.

>>36322876
sure but most people don't blatantly combine the plots if 3 highly successful shows within the genre they're targeting.

>>36322887
i'm thinking of deleting my cards and starting from scratch (sentence cards)

>>36322907
>if you want my opinion about what love "is"
Not this shit again

>>36322920
that can work. couldn't get it to work for me, though; made me hate anki

>>36322907
My mom loves me

>>36322920
Ah the ng+ experience

>>36322972
i don't even want to make it

i for one am in the 最中 of my golden ajatt days

>>36322991
ok then give up now so you don't waste your time.

>>36322963
hey man. that's great. cool stuff. I'm glad to hear it. my computer loves me, too, even though I've only ever used her.

>>36322995
what did he even mean by golden ajatt? i don't want to actually watch the video.

>>36322920
i did this and made it
set the new cards per day to 5 as well so i kept my anki between 10-15 minutes and just spent the rest of my nihongo time reading and watching stuff

>>36323012
he means that it finally feels comfortable for him to acquire stuff just by watching and that he can easily find i+1 sentences

found a datuji in this linnie

Why is he wearing scrubs? Is he a nurse?

>>36322915
You’d be surprised

>>36323006
Anyway point is, noone can explain to you what love is beyond the definitions you've already seen. Same for 日本語 stuff. There's no secret the linguists don't want you to know beyond "read/hear more examples" eventually it clicks.

>>36323045
that's why i thought too but he said he was going to buy food so maybe it's jut the shirt design

>>36322991

>>36323076
why are hiragana and katakana written on the rock?

>>36322915
What exactly is too similar in that premise? Prize money and a large facility are just things that allow the games to talk place.

Any good free hiragana dictionaries?

>>36323068

>>36323045
scrubs dont have pockets like that

>improvements
>Daijirin: #
>English definitions are removed by default
how is this an improvement?

>>36323115
it's annoying with the english definitions

>>36323099
ヒラガナ＝かたかな=仮名

>>36323115
because the point of using the j-j dic is to try and read the j definitions if you have the english ones there too your eyes will immediately move to those instead

there are many valid applications for a vpn but vpn users can't list a single 1

I have to use a VPN to browse the internet outside of facebook lol. Things have gone down hill for freedom.

what else would I possibly use it for?

i mean hes an itoddler so he already gets his data probed by apple and is happy to drop his pants on command

slept 9 and a half hours yesterday and 10 and a half hours today, guess thats what i get for sleeping 6 hours every night for the work week

>>36323423
If my data wasn't being probed by apple then it would be getting probed by google. that's the dumbest argument you could have possibly made.

>>36323413
lets be friends on facebook

>>36323428
I can't fall asleep anymore when I want so I do exercise in the night to tire me out.

lmaoing at the itoddler
you know you can use android without anything google related right?

>>36323441
Don't have a facebook, I was using it as a term to explain the surface corporate internet.

>>36323428
>slept 9 and a half hours yesterday
same except everyday

>>36323142
but if it has the english definition it isn't a j-j dic this is at about the level of spelling words that are written in kana with kanji just cause you want more kanji exposure

>>36323454
>Don't have a facebook

>>36325192
it works much like how a placebo works

>>36325192
its probably useful if you're starting from absolute 0 having not watched any eng subbed anime so it helps u get used to what the language sounds like and shit but once u arent a complete noob i dont see the usefulness. also just pragmatically there are other things i want to listen to and watch that arent otaku diarrhea so im not gonna 24/7 jp myself just on the off chance i get a 5% boost

jis x 0201 is the earliest japanese encoding and it is from 1969 and only has hiragana katakana and latin
jis x 208 is from 1978 and includes kanji shift_jis is another name for this
by the time the pc-8001 was lauched it was already all set up
nip pcs generally had a much higher resolution compared to western counterparts because of kanji

>>36325600
Yeah you can't really find anything on Youtube nowadays, site is too big and there's no categories.

>>36325633
god djt is so fucking autistic

>>36325676
i decided to take up japanese solely because i think their retro computers are fkin rad

Speaking of old Japanese PC's, I ant an MSX. What does a good PC98 setup usually go for these days?

>>36325692
a lot

>>36325692
The MSX I want is that one orange Panasonic model. I can't remember the name. Sometimes it can be cheap. I know nothing about PC98 except that the best touhou game is on it.

>>36325691
no need to rephrase my post

>>36325692
no fucking idea but i sold my pc-9821 vm for $2300 last year
but emulation is pretty much 100% i never had any issues with any game though you will have to fuck around with the bios/emulator settings from time to time
still easier than fucking with an actual pc-98 doubly so if you are a solderlet/electronicslet

new is always better
always

>>36325711
how much is a lot?

emulating pc98 is peak comfy

>>36325691
nice

pc98% of the games on it are trash

>>36325736
remember you will have to ship it too

>>36325729
>$2300
holy shit. yeah at that point ill just emulate it.

>>36325762
shipping in japan is nothing unless it's coming from ogasawara islands or hokkaido or something.

>>36325763
it was in mint condition and i had made the thing idiot proof with custom dos boot menus and things like that
that and i sold it to another westerner if you want to get a cheap one you will have to buy it from japan

>>36323090
It's a reference to another video someone linked here of him pushing the rock up the mountain only for him to walk enthusiastically back down to push another rock up. Katakana and Hiragana are the starting points of learning Japanese so by putting them on the rock it represents the current struggle and alludes to the existence of other rocks to push e.g Kanji. I like the story and see it as an inspirational one an example of human spirit.

do people not know about sisyphus any more?

>>36325797
Not unless they're into mythology I wouldn't say so. I still hear Sisyphean task referenced rarely.

>>36325777
I'm in japan

>>36325824
if you live in a big city then just hit the local retro hardware stores it will probably be cheaper than buying online

>>36325761
much like ur posting

also yah pc98s r just absurd now but the good news is a pc98 only costs a couple video cards lol

real hardware is the best experience but i sold all my shit it takes up too much space

jamal how do you find women in a male dominated field

hardoff probably has some but meh I don't care that much. I'm more into consoles. but if I ever find one for cheap I might get it.

>>36325927
if you are not willing to learn or already familiar with vintage computers i wouldnt buy it at all since you will have to mess with floppies, hd images and similar things

just had a dream in japanese

>>36325734
NO I WILL NEVER USE HARFBUZZ
I WILL ONLY IMPLEMENT STATELESS WRITING SYSTEMS
I WILL NOT SUPPORT FONT LIGATURES

>>36325946
floppies can be replaced with a USB emulator.

>>36325980
i sent a text to your mom's pager from 1992 with my microwave

>>36325988
those wont work on a pc98 what you will need is a gotek flashed to accept the oddball 1.2 megabyte nec formatting

shut the fuck up nerd

always thought tae kim is たえきむ but its tä kim

>>36325924
dont and look for women where theres women

tho i dont look for women so dont ask me my girlfriends all basically were the result of just being in the same place at the same time

>>36326148
always thought you were gay but you're gaAaAay

>>36326167
where for example

>>36326200
idk dude the worlds different from how i grew up where u just started going out w. a girl who was a friend of a friend or the girl from down the street etc

every1s staring into their phones i rly cant help u

where is tae kim even from? he claimed before that he was a native japanese speaker but that's clearly bullshit. then again shoui also claims to native or l2 or whatever.

so i only keep the japan subtitle and remove the rest and watch right?

>>36326222
*crying frog*

>>36326249
what is this, animelon? just turn the subtitles off and watch the show dude. if you want to learn a lot of words quickly then read a book.

>>36326247
I thought he was Korean?

>>36326222
i just wanted to go jump on some trampolines as a kid next thing i know im making out with some girl i met there looking at the night sky
then puberty hit me and i lost my charme

maybe you gotta do some activites where you cant use a phone if you wanna meet people

>>36326290
ah seisyun

>>36326275
yep its animelon. some anons told watching anime with subs would be a better entry point but reading books makes more sense to me with a side of kanji grinding with anki

>>36326288
I thought so too but he claimed to be a native speaker and then made mistakes on basic Japanese and got into debates when people called out his mistakes.
Idk if it's true or not but I heard he's one of those "learn something by teaching it" folks who was learning basic japanese when he wrote his guide.
I didn't use his shitty guide so I really can't say.

>>36326249
that was the first anime that i understood completely

lads are we playing some dotes today https://youtu.be/qTsaS1Tm-Ic

>>36326247
https://twitter.com/kimchi314/status/1374507246105751552
lmao

>>36326304
watching anime is good and you should do it but you should only expect to learn words through context. you can acquire more vocab faster through reading.

>>36326288
when did he ever claim to be a native speaker

>>36326343
>kimchi
lmao

>>36326290
>activites where you cant use a phone
barely exist because people will just go directly on their phones after to check if anything happened on them during the activity

>>36326347
true true

>>36326343
wtf

>>36326372
join the church choir

what does なり行きで mean

>>36326343
welp looks like tyler kim didnt deserve his status in the nihongo nonlearnig community as well

what a surprise

>>36326385
its the fate of everyone who writes guides to never fully make it

japanese isn't vague at all

true true

Will I be able to learn Japanese?

>>36326347
can i learn kanji through reading or continue my kanji grind in anki?

>>36326523
it's one of the least useful languages to learn

>>36326566

so i know the kanji is 1 and day but have no clue how tsuitachi comes

wtf, this is off-topic but i just saw a post showing a woman on american tv saying that people that use terms like "normies, based and cucked" might be part of an extremist group. take care of you vocabulary, folks or you might be mistaken for an extremist incel

>>36326583
it means first day of the month, keep a dictionary while reading

>>36326734
contemplate the 香り

more like protocol g80

yawn

>>36326545
didn't he make a video about how he was done with japanese cause he got really good or something

>>36326618
maybe you should've spend your time learning words with kanji in them, not just the kanji

>>36326343
im just gonna assume this is some sort of brainfart cause the competence needed to write his guide is a lot higher than the competence u need to understand this shit

alright i started reading a children's book, after every word i read i put it in deepL and translate, feeling confident i can finish this in book a 3-4 weeks. am i doing it the right way?

>>36326946
read tae kim really fast first

>>36326946
you should use a dictionary to see what words mean. if what you're reading is html you can use yomichan, otherwise you can paste it into jisho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnG04l_RLkQ
the kanye joe donda collab is out bros

>>36326971
i read the guide a while back
>>36326979
i am having a hard time knowing where a word starts and where a word ends for example " 江戸川乱歩先生 "

>>36326946
don't read tae kim, he clearly does not into japanese

>>36327007
words start and end wherever you want anon

>>36327020
pure motivation anon, you are right nipland language is my headcanon and mine alone

>>36326987
>>36306337

>>36327007
>i am having a hard time knowing where a word starts and where a word ends
this is one of the reasons jp subbed anime is recommended to beginners. the audio helps with this.

also if you read something that's html you can use yomichan to help with this.

>>36327054
>also if you read something that's html you can use yomichan to help with this.
unfortunately using epub files but am going to find some online children books and setup yomi

>>36327079
>unfortunately using epub files
no problem

>>36326946
>after every word i read i put it in deepL and translate
no what the fuck
this guy is right >>36327054
really there is no reason not to start with jp-subbed anime unless you intentionally want to make it harder on yourself
