good post

What's the most interesting none fiction JP book you've read?

how could 4chan be redesigned to be sperg-proof?
by this, I mean preventing people from degrading the thread by changing OPs to suit their agenda, or spamposting their "guides" and links

4chan primarily relies upon the userbase to maintain the quality of threads by actively resisting these things (e.g. racing to be the first to create the new thread [not reliable], responding to shill/spam posts calling them out [a newcomer will not be able to tell who is right])
essentially, it becomes a war of endurance to see who gets tired of defending their position first, where the more autistic or interested person eventually wins

>>38850135
we at djt moved away from tatsumoto, telegram, and all other russian sites

Memento is a free and open source, mpv-based video player that makes studying Japanese easier with a built in popup dictionary, Anki integration, and more.

I got spoiled by radio plays with multiple voice actors and now I struggle to listen to audio books read by a single person.
It's so much easier to keep track of who is who when they each have their own voice actor... maybe one day I will be good enough for audio books.

ngmi

gentle reminder that if anki reps and mining are getting you down it’s fine to stop and take a breather for as long as you need. reading more is nature’s spaced repetition system—the more you read, the more you remember!

>>38854789
japanese language acquisition is about the journey, not the destination. we’re all gmi!

>>38854789
false
>>38854795
also remember that reading is the only one of the two that involves actually acquiring japanese
so if you had to pick just one, reading would win every time no contest

could someone please hook me up with five new words to mine..
i've been adding 10 a day since january 1st and haven't missed a day this year, but today i had a really busy day at work and i'm too tired to read long enough until i hit ten new words -- i've just got five so far and i really want to sleep.

>>38854804
except you

>>38854847
japanese language acquisition is a marathon not a sprint, my friend. we’re all gmi, every single one of us!

It’s crazy to think that people tried to learn Japanese without the use of Anki. Like how is it even remotely possible without daily reps?

>>38854922
its crazy how you can do daily reps for three years and then read 勝手 as kachite really makes you think

>>38854922
by reading and watching shit every day

>>38854904
good luck on the reps and sleep tite

but you can

>>38855005
i usually ignore your nonsense but anon, really, why would you think its fake? do you think i ever NOT say whatever i think? anon, the simple truth is: i would rather be surrounded by positive, successful, or at least friendly people, than basketcases, we spend so much time together the least we can do is be nice to each other, no?
banter is fine, but some anons try to actually hurt each other and thats... i dunno, i don't think its good, even in r9k, hell, even in pol, people generally try to be nice to each other.
i try to bring the people around me up, why be crabs if we don't have to? life is annoying enough to spend it fighting over nothing in an anonymous basket weaving mongolian forum

anyway, just my 2 cents, have a good night anon

it wasnt a gotcha i was being dead serious lol that's what makes people hate happiness

>>38851545
true true!

being nice doesn't mean acting like a motivational coach or a talking self-help book

all you need is to do is not to be rude to people

people can express their kindness however they want there's not just one way to be nice

>>38853655
anki is overemphasised. language acquisition is about comprehension not memorisation. i got to the point of being able to watch any generic show with 98% comprehension without a single anki rep. only use of anki is associating kanji to words.

I think I'm gonna buy elden ring
Should I just play it in English?

>>38855155
you are completely correct anon
i used anki (both sentence and vocab cards) for my first 8k words or so but after that i dropped it and focused on comprehension instead of memorization and everything got way better

>>38855155
>>38855187
how to focus on comprehension?

>>38855155
sentence cards lead to comprehension

the gap in difficulty between generic anime and the harder stuff is like the gap between 50 shades of grey and james joyce's ulysses

>>38855155
d..dame...

why do anti-anki luddites have to preach so much? let people use it if they find it helpful.

>>38855181
it only exists in english bro, there's no japanese voices in any version, you can set text to japanese in any version too

my goty so far and amazing in every aspect but im the kind that platinum every souls game so take that as you will

>>38855229
lets pretend i haven't read either of those books...

>>38855155
i see anki as a reading multiplier, so if you do 0 reading the results of anki are also 0, but if you read a bit you get say some bonus from it, especially in the form of reminding you you know stuff

at the end of the day i don't think anyone disagrees that reading is more important than anki, or that that multiplier goes down as time goes on

>>38855239
Oh fug I was on gamesplanet and misread the language list lol
Also yeah I'm watching my brother play it and I'm like "damn this looks hella fun"

>>38855237
serious answer is probably because a bunch of patreon shilling retards used to spam about cards all day and it gave some anons PTSD, all of them sans maybe tatsucuckhold are gone though

>>38855260
its breath of the wild if breath of the wild had depth, dungeons, enemy and terrain variety, and eh, not gonna spoil but its amazing and it has the best parts of everything from has made

>>38855206
basically just when you read, focus on understanding each sentence in the story in a meaningful, impactful way, rather than focusing on "learning new words" or other abstract language learning goals. first try to understand the sentence to the best of your current ability without looking up anything at first. then when you get to the end of the sentence, look up a any new words you weren't sure about. your objective when looking up should be "let this be the puzzle piece that allows me understand this sentence in a meaningful way", not "must memorize this words asap"
the magic is that words just start sticking after only a few lookups (sometimes only 1 or 2) as you do this because our brain naturally absorbs new language when we comprehend messages that feel impactful or interesting.

when japanese learning is ever brought up it's never "have you done your 3hrs of reading today" it's "bro your reps???". pointing out that the focus on anki is misguided is not anti anki. if someone used a pre-built deck and did 1k reps a day, they'd be worse than the guy who does 0 reps and reads for 4 hours a day.

>>38855254
>at the end of the day i don't think anyone disagrees that reading is more important than anki
you would be surprised
many anki obsessers that spend more time doing reps than reading, or stop reading once they've reached their mining quota for the day

>>38855155
>i got to the point of being able to watch any generic show with 98% comprehension without a single anki rep. only use of anki is associating kanji to words.
oh yea? translate this image then

>>38855300
big agree anon, good observation
and that's true even if those reps were sentence cards

>>38855267
Bought it, can't wait to start playing
(And then mald a little cause I haven't played a souls like game since demon's souls on ps3 lmao)

make an argument or stfu

>>38855499
hes trolling you, you do NOT want to retire cards for eh... at least a while, retiring them makes them not show up again, odds are you will forget at least a few of those words, its also unneccessary to retire cards, if you learn them well and seldom fail them their period grows and grows, i have cards with a period of over a year

>>38855571
yeah have a bunch of cards at 295 day interval or w/e, suppose i could delete them, but really is it bad to say hi to an old friend in a year?

>>38855571
i am not trolling
i presume that anon is talking about a premade deck like core2k and the words in those decks are, obviously, all very common
there is absolutely no point in continuing to review them since you will see them in your immersion within a month easily and if you don't then you're not reading and watching enough

by the time "retirement" actually becomes useful you wont need anki anymore anyways unless youre doing something drastic like the 30 days anon

>>38855428
you can't learn japanese period

>>38855590
true true

>>38855590
the point of anki is you won't see those cards for a long ass time so there's no point to retiring

>>38855602
thousands of cards you don't need to review in the first place spread over the course of a few months will boost your daily review count and the time spent in anki
there is no drawback to getting rid of them

>>38855590
wrong, I read several hours a day and forgot much of 2/6k after deleting it

>>38855602
if you're going through a frequency deck, then wasting time on 2000 cards that you should be seeing more often in immersion than anki is literal hours of wasted time, regardless of how fast you go through them

>>38855611
6k may as well be a random assortment of words and should never be used in the first place
i highly doubt you forgot much of 2k unless you were literally reading 絵本 for a year

>>38855611
then you didn't need those words yet
listen to ciaran. if a word doesn't stick that means it wasn't yet time. don't force it

>>38855630
>>38855637
don't listen to these people, you'll end up like me unable to read N5 words like 郵便 cause they never show up in moege

砦、夜

>>38855616
What I'm hearing is people should start doing reverse frequency decks instead

>>38855680
i want people to read more and anki less

>>38855688
ik I'm just trying to be an internet funnyman lel

>>38855697
i liked it, anon

good thing she's wearing a mask wouldn't want to get infected over a video

the guy saying you should retire cards after 30 days is clearly a troll

yeah you should retire anki after 1 day

lol @ u autists who speg @ hologodesses because they know more about vidya and japan and internet culture than all of you virgins and they also stack paper to the ceiling and have fun while doing it

>>38855662
if they don't show up in what you're reading then why do you care about them

>>38855795
https://vocaroo.com/18jT5Xtx469M

easy cards will simply disappear quickly because the interval will grow quickly

>>38855155
>i got to the point of being able to watch any generic show with 98% comprehension without a single anki rep
me too but i used anki and did it much faster

i have been learning japanese for 6 years lmao

>>38855787
depends on your level
its good advice for intermediates who read a lot

>>38855816
itiban hayai desu ne

not even natives have 98% comprehension

>>38855787
no i'm not lol
and you still haven't made an actual argument against it aside from "reviews don't take that long" which is true for 1 card but not when you're looking at multiple thousands

>>38855267
>and it has the best parts of everything from has made
it has mechs?

>>38855826

>>38855826

>>38855826

>but im the kind that platinum every souls game so take that as you will
so you're retarded, got it

>>38855779
she infected my penis it's all swollen and shit how do i fix

i am suffering from cognitive decline. it's probably why i haven't learned japanese yet. i am a neet who just stays in my room 24/7

suffering from brain rot

>>38855826

>>38855829
not everyone has abundant time or the tolerance to go 100% immersion all the time

not everyone has good memory to get acquainted with a lot of words in such a short time and it's harder to remember words when you're a beginner

the frequency of words change depending on the type of media you consume. you might go months and months without hearing 冷蔵庫 in an anime for example

>>38855859
>still hasn't turned off english subs
>suffering from brain rot
yeah you do

>>38855862
are you native in english?

>>38855821
How often and how much do you study? If I studied for 6 years and still needed english subs I would just give up.

>>38855864

they are hardsubbed

i don't even focus on them anyway

>>38855859
don't listen to these haters. english subs won't hurt you. it's pure broscience

>>38855826
og...

when you see some fag throwing a tantrum about english subs you just know they're never gonna make it

my mara looks so much bigger looking from ue than from the yoko

>>38855870

probably 1 hour to 2 hours a day

i think there are people who study 6 hours a day and that's why they learn japanese within a short period of time. i am not a hurry to learn japanese. i take my time

>>38855867
i'm beyond native

>>38855885

i am not in a hurry*

>>38855885
Ok, that makes sense anon. Carry on and good luck.

>>38855886
judging by that reaction, not even a beyond native like yourself, could comprehend my post 100%
qed

>>38855863
>not everyone has abundant time or the tolerance to go 100% immersion all the time
who's talking about 100% immersion all the time? consume enough to come across common words within a month. if you can't do that you cannot learn japanese in the first place.

>not everyone has good memory to get acquainted with a lot of words in such a short time and it's harder to remember words when you're a beginner
if you've matured the card in anki you should have it in your brain for the duration of the next interval if you don't that would defeat the entire point of doing anki because you'd fail every single rep lol

>the frequency of words change depending on the type of media you consume
this is very true but we are talking about core words the vast majority of which are common across all forms of media. and if a word absolutely refuses to show up in what you consume it is simply not relevant to you at the moment. you can always pick up the scraps later by branching out in what you read and watch once you're better at nihongo.

matt says eng subs are fine to use

https://youtu.be/lT6WC4S76aM

i just wanna get to the point where i can keep up with jp subs without having to pause all the time bros...
actually tho how do i increase my reading speed, do i just keep reading forever and eventually speed up?

if you can't read something you can just hear it so no need to pause you're welcome

>>38855923
let the character read for you.

>>38855923
keep reading vinnies lns books whatever and youll get faster
manga isnt reading
anime subs dont count as reading either

>>38855911
if you don't have autism like this guy you're gonna forget shit, newbies ignore him and don't delete your cards

>consume enough to come across common words within a month. if you can't do that you cannot learn japanese in the first place.
there's no point in arguing with someone who says arbitrary shit like this

'manga isn't reading' is timeless

>>38855945
>idk what this means
you put your eyes on top of the word and move them as the character speaks. you don't try to sound them out, you just look at them

>>38855859
well at least japanese makes you happy and gives you something to do, hang in there shin chan anon, this is a hobby at the end of the day, not a race

>>38855950
>nothing arbitrary about that you just didn't make the cut no need to cope
as you can see, it's a troll.

>>38855952

>>38855963
OH FUCK you meant the character in the anime i thought you meant characters like subtitles lmao
ok yeah that makes sense

>>38855939
its not really arbitrary
2 hours reading a day is 60 hours a month
even at the very yukkuri pace of 4000 characters an hour (67 characters/min) you will be reading 240,000 characters, or about 100,000 words each month
thats plenty of opportunity for new words you learned to appear in your reading

>>38855975
i can see how you're having problems

you are one of my favorite anons btw bro, just wanted you to know, i mean that in a positive way, from time to time i wonder if you are still going at it and im glad you are, you are also right, the people who get better fast do a lot more time at once but again who cares? this is about fun at the end of the day, there is no prize for "making it", youll get there when you do

sincere best thoughts and wishes shin chan bro

looks like you need to read more

>>38855923
you read faster as you go, im a fan of never pausing anything tho, first lausing is annoying and second, the faster your brain gets its do or die, the easier it gets

if you turn off the monitor you see your ugly reflection and are forced to self-reflect

is that it?

>>38856043
no, my reflection is beautiful

>>38856043
well yeah but that doesn't work with modern monitors they don't reflect shit

>>38856035
good reasoning on why it can make listening more difficult, thank you
>>38856034
isn't it a really easy to understand joke? screens are still relatively reflective and if it's a phone it's hella reflective

>>38856034
? all it requires is an iq > 70

you got the first half right then it went all wrong

>>38856069
calli was kind of a bitch tonight

>>38855952
manga is of course reading arguing otherwise makes no sense but its a lower volume of text and more pictures so it takes longer to get good while using it exclusively. someone reading linnie or vinnie will read double the amount of text in the same stretch of time. but that doesn't really matter if you only want to read manga and don't care about the other stuff

well when you put it that way i remember seeing laptops with reflective screens in the appliance store a few times i guess if you're extremely poor the joke might make sense for you

>>38856080
>lower volume of text and more pictures
the more important thing is what the text doesnt have because the pictures suffice
most manga is almost entirely dialogue

>>38856098
yeah true but you are still gaining the ability to read and comprehend dialogue. and for people who are learning japanese just for manga (i know some people like that) that's all they really need to know. if they want to be able to read more descriptive text they can just branch out to linnies and vinnies later on

the thing about manga is occasionally you do get a massive wall of text out of nowhere and if all you read is manga you probably never were prepared for that
but if manga is the only thing you find fun then its a waste of time to try to force doing other shit

If you understand the "grammar" of a language, you can basically get by anywhere anytime with a couple dozen words only.

yoshi. one more day & I'll have no new cards in my tango n4 deck. probs gonna star mining in the next week.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have
been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly
increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in
“advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society,
have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings
to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and
have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The
continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human being to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world,
it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical
suffering even in “advanced” countries.

事実事実

>>38857019
grammar is made up of words
there are more than 50 words in basic grammar

>>38857019
i say possible speak language with only know words. no need grammar. when you know word you say and people understand. grammar learn later. grammar abstract, too difficult if no know nothing about language.

>>38857210
anime looks soulless nowadays

there isnt a communicative need for most of the grammar languages have, its only when expressing complex ideas that it comes handy, day to day stuff could be done on vocab alone

me vs my anki deck

It's 10:48pm and I haven't done my anki yet today. Got a fuck ton of reviews due and need to do new words as well. Do you reckon I can leave it till tomorrow and catch up by doubling my new words? Is this a bad idea? Cause of the fucking hot weather here I can't sleep in, so I have to get up early every morning

i hate when it's like

bororo ~ emerald
bororo ~ neko neko
bororo ~ lake
bororo ~ lake plus
bororo ~ extra plus dante
bororo ~ blood
bororo ~ vampire werewolf
bororo ~ bororo/roma
bororo ~ ourobouros
bororo ~ ourobouros: ultimate
bororo ~ elevator
bororo ~ alligator/penguim

what am i even complaining about though. everything is like that

>harry potter and the philosopher's stone

dakanaito

Where is the core 2k/6k or 8k deck that had a black background and just the kanji on the front and the audio and example sentence on the back? All I am seeing is the one with pictures and hiragana readings and it has a yellow background.

pisscorders cant get over how nuke owned them lmao

>>38855816
probably true, i started watching anime without subs in late 2012 because i couldn't be bothered to wait 3 hours for the subs to come out. i vividly remember watching hataraku maou-sama and sitting there for minutes on end when they'd speak in the made up language with jsubs. 8 years later when mushoku did the same thing, i was able to read it with ease. we have come a long way and it not for a moment felt like study or required "willpower".

>>38860588
Is it because I spend most of my time looking at English text?

because english materials are the best. chinese is an option too
minna no nihongo kinda sucks tho bc im p sure they use romaji

>>38860626
>minna no nihongo kinda sucks tho bc im p sure they use romaji
All the people that I've asked told me it's the best as it's purely written in Kana and Kanjis (they only help you with furigana apparently) and it's more straightforward than stuff like Genki (i have genki1 but got quickly bored because of the way it's structured, I like books that are more "dry").

>>38860653
maybe im wrong ive never actually looked at it

>>38860662
I see. What books/tools did you use to start with your studies?

>>38860670
people here tend to bot use books, just the tae kim site/cure dolly, anywau try the book and see if you like it if you are curious, pretty sure libgen and zlibrary both have genki and minna and essentially any textbook you could want, making sense of japanese and the cure dolly book are there too

>>38860670
i started in college we used genki

>>38860694
Appreciate the recs anon, will try to look into it. Also, I'm kinda overwhelmed when it comes to Anki, so far I've been using the pre-made 2k core deck but people told me I should make my own decks instead of using others.

>>38860722

yeah library genesis has the whole series, oh, theres japanese for busy people too
>>38860717
howd it work for you?

So I'm doing my lessons and I'm wondering what the point is in having a silent を after 卵を because it sounds like it isn't being pronounced out loud

Is there an optimal way to play with the setting that works best for studying with Anki? It has so many options and I already downloaded some add ons but I wouldn't know how to properly create flashcards on my own.

Thanks for the rec

Maybe once I reach 100 LNs I'll notice more significant change.

>>38860933
you probably can read faster than you are, it might sound dumb but just try and read faster, don't overthink it, look at the text in sequence quickly and see how much meaning you can get from glancing at it faster than you have been, it might just be an issue of you not pushing yourself

>>38860949
Sadly I try that all the time, but I just end up not understanding what's going on and having to reread it more carefully anyway. Compared to reading English for example, the problem is that words don't automatically form themselves when I'm reading.

There's nothing wrong with textbooks. The problem is that most textbooks are full of awful information and don't teach you real Japanese. They teach you English-Japanese.
