Thoughts on Tatsumoto's guide to Japanese?

>>40967880
see >>40967846

>>40967880
this is my favorite guide

>>40967920
lol'd
that's not true though

>>40967960
it's true until tatsumoto posts a pic of his dick next to a jlpt n1 certificate and vaccine passport

>>40967984
passing n1 doesn't say anything about one's japanese ability

>>40967999
if you can't pass it, you don't know japanese, so it does say something.

>>40968012
the test has nothing to do with japanese, there are plenty of people who didn't pass it but are fluent
and the last two or maybe more JLPTs were canceled so i don't even know if you we able to take the next one

>>40968031
>there are plenty of people who didn't pass it but are fluent

>>40968167
i'm talking about people who have taken it and failed.

>>40967880
It’s a patreon scam

passing n1 does not mean you know japanese
if you cant pass n1 you also dont know japanese

>>40968034
inugami korone, irys, takanashi kiara,

>>40968034

>>40968179
but there are no patreon content
moeway is a patreon scam for example

>>40968215
yo, totally not mr cuckhold, there IS no patreon content, not are
is this the limit of tatsucuckhold spam cards?!?!?!?!

theres two types of people in this thread
those who dont know japanese
and those who cope with not knowing japanese

look mr cuckhold, i don't know how it works in your native languahe, but to use are you need the content to be plural
there are no pateon xontents, is correct
there is no pateeon content is also correct
there is a different between the two

typos intentional eat shit spamming inbred fucktard

>>40968232
Kill yourself, retard.

>>40967880
scam by a mentally ill schizo spammer that disses actual resources on grounds like "i don't like the voice" and who speaks neither english, nor japanese with any sort of proficiency, see >>40968215
not recommended, big avoid.
have read all the guides and its probably the worst one, by a lot.
anyone who wants to make it would be better server by learning to mine, immersing in whatever the fuck they feel like while looking up what they must, and repeating daily.
giving money to scamming retards is not a requirement, nor is any linux related stupidity.

I’m making RTK flashcards. Should I add common readings, or stick to just meaning?

thinking you should make like a 木 and 葉

>>40968347

If I tell a girl I'm learning Japanese will she think it's a weird hobby? I feel like if you said "I'm learning German, French, Chinese etc" it would sound cool but the assumption for Japanese would go straight to gross weeb.

>>40968335
do you have some experience and now decided to try rtk? if so, add japanese words that help capture the meaning and show them on the front as fill-in-the kana. try to select words where there should only be one correct kanji to fill in the kana.
いち番
なな色
りょう方
なか身
節かい
み覚

>>40968368
japan is hella mainstream i think it would be weirder that you were talking to a girl honestly

>>40968374
>節かい
couldnt remember this one

>>40968100
Native peoples way maybe? Or either just messed up entry on whatever your grabbing your audio from

>>40968368
No, it shows that you're a dedicated person considering how hard it is to learn Japanese, it shows that you're smart considering learning another language is never easy and it shows that you have interests in things.

>>40968358
What is RTK?

>>40968442
it means real time killer

>>40968442
raping the kani

>>40967875
lemme just tell u guys she will NOT be saying ganbare after i rape her.. lol

>>40968500
lol

>>40968450
y..yabeee...!
>>40968368
girls have no idea what a weeb is, this is you projecting, if you are weird about the things you like, the girl will think you are weird, as you are in effect, telling her you are a weirdo that likes weird things
if you are cool (you are), then whatever it is you are doing, is cool too
girls like cool people
btw its not enough to say *i am cool people*
you have to internalize it, women feel weakness and fear and it dries them up in .5 miliseconds flat.

>>40968442

>>40968500
>...for she'll be saying it during...

>>40968417
That too but first thing that comes to mind might be "Anime body pillow random japanese phrase saying weird guy."

Is there a way to set Anki so that if I miss a card, I still get an interval hit and have to do it again until I get it right, but the interval isn't reset entirely?

>>40968781
lapses->new interval

>>40967880

>>40968368
Never tell anyone you're learning another language. No one cares or thinks you're cool for it. If you're fluent, that's a different story. It's like going around telling everyone about your new diet before you lost any significant weight. Wait until you have significant results before ever bringing it up.

She thinks you're a cringe loser now.

got 169/180 on N1, with 60/60 reading

are there any randomized controlled trials comparing the results of tatsumoto's, QM's, moe's, and itazuraneko's guides?

>>40969217
yes, there are no success stories. complete failure on all fronts. sadly, the only proven method to learn japanese remains acquiring japanese gf

>>40968347
Most english keywords fail so badly at encapsulating the meaning of a kanji they aren't worth remembering.

any streams

yea

just streamed but deleted it

That's wrong though?

I found another useful trick. Kanjis with this 尞 component are always pronounced リョウ.

important question. can i still go to heaven if i read doujinshi for immersion and not jack off material?

>>40968368
>I feel like if you said "I'm learning German, French, Chinese etc" it would sound cool but
It won't, no one gives a fuck about what language you are learning

Attenpt the blue line and make an anki for each new kanji or word you encounter after researching them.
(Maybe that was already implied)

Might feel very slow going at first, but I have to imagine this is a damn good way to learn efficiently.

>>40969842
I have never told anyone in real life that i like anime or japan or that i know japanese other than my parents, i literally went through all of highschool without telling anyone i liked the culture of some island at the other side of the world and i never will.
There was this unwritten rule of "never reveal your powerlevel" and im still sticking to it, i don't really care how "acceptable" things have become, if anything makes me want to hide it even more to not be confused with "them".
Going back to the languages things, no one will really give a fuck if you are learning whatever language, dominating another language, that is what they may find impressive, maybe a little curious, but not more than that.

Yup this is why Im learning Japanese

How accurate are the RTK keywords? I like the idea of learning kanji by components, but sometimes the keyword doesn't seem to match with the kanji's dictionary definition. This has made me wonder of RTK is worth it or just a waste of time. Thoughts?

>>40970356
I no longer wish to learn japanese.

>>40970558
RTK is completely arbitrary and only hinders you in the long run.

>>40970558
you will never acquire abstract vocabs from a list of keywords. RTK is a mnemonic system for remembering vocabs and shouldn't be used to read kanji.
>waste of time
depends on the user, but i definitely don't feel that way.

Being on DJT and studying Japanese is really starting to stress me out and I don't know what to do about it. I haven't studied Japanese for about 6 months now. Everytime I want to start I get stressed out: it's as if I'm choking.

I've studied Japanese for 2.5 years almost every day and today I found out I barely passed my JLPT N5 so I decided to pick up learning Japanese again. However when I read about others who passed their N5 after a couple of months of study it feels like I'm choking! I also have no idea what to study next which causes that choking feeling to become even stronger. Has anyone ever experienced the same thing? How do I stop this feeling? I want to study Japanese so bad but I have no idea where to start anymore... Should I just quit? Thinking about quiting also gives me this choking feeling but will that make it stop by not thinking about it anymore?

>>40970642

>>40970642
I just received my JLPT N4 results, failed by 2 points. I am not so upset about the test specifically, but it has confirmed some things I have been thinking for a while.

I am 24 and living in Chicago, my dream has been to move to Japan since I was a about 11 years old. About 6 years ago I started seriously learning Japanese, took my first college class, even though I had already learned Hiragana and Katakana from a young age. I sailed through 2 years in college without doing much HW because it was all just so easy. I have a great memory for nouns. After getting out of school I realized that I had to start to learn how to study so I decided to start to study for the JLPT because it would be a goal every year that I could see my progress. I failed my first year N5, by 30 some points. I thought I was ready but I relied too much on class information and just didn't study enough. then I kinda got in a rut and although I studied some, I really didn't commit to Japanese for a while. I probably tried to do at least 15 minutes a day but I wasn't really working hard at it at all.

Flash forward a couple years and I had started to study again, passed the N5 and was feeling good about life. 2011 was me hitting my stride. I had finally learned how to study. I did Rosetta Stone, got the Japanese TV channel and watched as much as I could, downloaded dramas, got through the entire Basic Japanese Grammar book, tried to read children's books, got a lang-8 account and started writing journals at least once a week, started Anki, read Common Japanese Collocations, got the Tobira book and started it, picked up some manga, got a Japanese exchange student, started speaking only Japanese with my husband in public. I was pretty much AJATT. I am not going to say I did great at all these things, but I definitely tried. I think I tried everything because a lot of things didn't work too well for me. So I wasn't the best student, but I was doing Japanese at LEAST an hour a day.

So October 2011 rolls around and I decide I need to start studying for the JLPT N4. I did nothing but study for the JLPT so long, my brain actually hurt every day. I did practice tests, worked on grammar, bought a couple of listening books and studied specifically for that test for 2 straight months.

I just received my results, I failed. I only failed by 2 points, but it made me realize that I actually guessed on almost every question on the test. I could not understand the listening at all!

So here I am, I have put 6 years or more of my life into this language, I have worked my ass off, I even have definite plans to move to Japan April 2013 to join a language school with my husband for a year. We already have 1/3 of the money saved up. And I feel like maybe I am just too stupid to learn this language. I have tried so hard and I just keep failing. We just made friends with a Japanese couple and I can't understand anything they say, I am defaulting to my husband just to be able to converse with them. Plus its super hard to watch him pick up the language with ease and pass all the tests with flying colors.

So I guess I need some help. I am ready to just give up the language completely, but I have no idea what that will do to my life and my relationships (I have already told my whole family I am moving to Japan) Should I just give up? Is there anyway I could pull myself back up and continue with it when I have failed so may times before? I have poured so much blood sweat and tears into this language!! I am sorry for the long post but I really need some help! (Please don't respond with a がんばれ！or "you can do it!" that's really not what I need right now...

I seriously doubt it. Show me your anki deck. I expect at least 15k mature cards by now. More likely you're just thinking that you've studied Japanese, when in reality you were just wasting your time.

About a month ago, I found out both of my children were the results of my soon to be ex-wives affairs. I've had a feeling for awhile now that both them were not mine. 6 years ago when my son was born, I was the happiest I had been in my entire life. I had married my best friend, we had a child together, and everything seemed amazing.

That was until he started getting older. After a few years, I started to have doubts that he was actually mine. He did not look like my child. The more he started to grow, the more I realized just how different he looked compared to what I would expect a child of mine to look like. I am not petty or paranoid enough to let that alone drive me. It was my whore of a wife that really set my alarms off.

Whenever she went out, she never went where she said she did. She would have huge holes in her schedule she could never explain to me, she would refuse to allow me to interact with anyone from her work place, and a close friend of hers accused her of flirting with her s/o at the time. It did not help that soon after our son was born, her lies started to catch up with her. Still though, I loved her like the fool I was. She told me up and down how much she loved me whenever one of her lies caught up with her. She had convinced me that despite the fact she was a lying and manipulative woman, that she wasn't a lying manipulative whore.

Last year, she got pregnant again, and I still held out a small bit of hope that it was mine. But when her daughter was born, it was obvious she was mixed race. I refused to sign the birth certificate, and the paternity test I demanded afterwards proved my suspicions right all along. Neither of them are mine.

The day I got those test results were the day I filed for divorce from that whore and walked away from the family I had created. I knew that it would destroy her sons life to see me walk out. Despite my concerns, I was the best dad I could be to him. I loved him with all my heart and put in 110% into being the father he deserved. Now though, when I see him I am filled with disgust. Disgust for my whore of a wife, disgust with myself for not trusting my instincts, and disgust that the last 6 years on my life have been for nothing. I have been told by multiple people now that I am a monster for leaving "my son" like this. My ex has tried on multiple occasions since I moved out to use him to guilt me into getting back with her. She will have him call me at random hours of the night crying and begging for "his daddy" to come back. The day I moved out, she paraded him into the room as I packed my things to show me "how much damage I am doing." In every conversation that he is brought up, both online and off, I am berated and shamed. That despite the fact I am not the boys biological father, I am his dad.

What I have sadly now realized is that, to most, my own feelings mean nothing. My parents are my only supporters through all this, with my own siblings calling me a despicable person for abandoning a child like that. My feelings of betrayal and sadness mean nothing, because a child is involved. I know it is not his fault. I know that the man he called his father for his entire life just walked away, But why am I expected to "man up?" Why should I have to pretend everything is fine and I do not feel contempt for this entire situation. Why should I put my own life and feelings aside? I never was the boys father, I loved him like one and honestly still do; but I would come to hate and contempt him if I had to play that role. Hate myself for not standing up and taking my own life back into my own hands. He is not my child, and even though it is not his fault, he is not my problem anymore. Long story short? Learning japanese didn't help me at all.

blast through your first 2k words and then KEEP READING
READ ALL THE TIME
READ WHEN YOU DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TIME OR ENERGY TO READ
READ

>>40970856
no
anki is a supplement
you learn japanese when comprehending messages in japanese

>>40969131

>Other people’s taking notice of one’s identity-relevant intentions apparently engenders a premature sense of completeness regarding the identity goal.
probably should talk about your goals until you formed a habit of it first.

>>40970856
Your first 3 years of learning japanese will be nothing but endlessly adding new words to anki

>>40970856
20 words a day isn't enough. Your first goal should be to get to 10k common words. That gives you a solid base.

>>40970856
no of course not, is memorizing a dictionary enough to learn english?
>in b4 tatsucuckhold replies that with tatsucuckspamcards you can
making the dictionary into differently organized chunks is still not enough
you need massive amounts of immersion and practice, not just testing
even with perfect memory, it wouldn't be enough, as to play the chinese room game successfully you need the ability to adapt to new situations, or at least have responses appropriate to them, and no deck will have that. it is simply impossible.
anki seriously reduces the amount of time needed to memorize things long term via constant refreshers and testing, but it isn't nearly enough, and immersion+anki+variety will easily triumph just anki

you can get to a decent level in two days

>>40970872
>>40970896
so, what should I bump it to? 40 words a day?

>>40970928
neither of the two people you responded to know japanese
it doesnt matter how many words you do in anki if you dont watch or read japanese

>>40970928
no
20wds a day is fine, id say thats a lot even but then again ur a beginner so 20 is fine. what you should do is fucking read native material. anki is a supplement, reading is the main

>>40970928
As many as you can handle. Don't limit to yourself to some arbitrary number. It's better to disable anki from automatically adding a fixed number of new cards every day. Instead, you choose the number on new cards manually based on how you're feeling and how much time you have that day.

>>40970926
kek
>>40970928
as many as you want, it ultimately doesn't matter, being able to read words that you don't understand is not sufficient for anything
you have to see the words in a bunch of contexts and situations, that said, the fastest way to achieve japanese fluency is task based fluency, where say, you memorize/practice the language required for a given task, the japanese govt has a bunch of programs/pamphlets for different situations, and they will work, as long as your objective fits in the very strictly defined and formulated scenarios the pamphlets cover.
omnifluency which is what people tend to refer as fluency is much harder and time consuming to get

>>40970963

>>40970979
dunno, nta but doing 200+ cards a day for a bit taught me not to do 200+ cards a day very fast

>>40970979
If you have no self-control, then you're not going to learn Japanese anyway.

5 cards per day is the ideal number actually because it's impossible to get burned out by it and you can spend the majority of your time immersing which is where the actual acquisition happens

>>40971019
5 is way too low as a newbie
its fine if ur intermediate but id still prefer 10 but as a beginner your reading is gonna be slow and dogshit, and while you learn from reading you do get the base push from anki and it helps a lot in the early stages. you can always lower it later too

>>40971033
>impossible to get burned out
>core2k for over a year

Would this be a grammatically correct sentence? I've no experience with output but I came up with this off the top my head
"じゃん"は何で意味ですか？

>>40970994
I have no self control with getting sidetracked so I limit my phone apps to Japanese related stuff 6-10pm 4 days a week. I also got rid of the app I wasted most time on and it helps a lot

>>40971078
you dont have to actually finish a core deck at least in my opinion but im only about 10 months in. i did a pre-made for like the first 2 or 3 months, got sick of it and realized mining was easy and went from there. its kind of a double edged sword tho because my interests (battle shonen/toku and police/cop/mysteries) im really good at and understand the vast majority of words, but school dramas or romcoms while still pretty good i have to look up a lot of school terms, or i find myself knowing words for like 民間 before learning like 扉 so idk maybe it was bad but i think its fine

>>40971090
You're like an NPC with preprogrammed routines. You're ngmi.

>>40971096
For the days it's off I feel like I have nothing to do since I removed that app so I read, I am going to make it to spite you

>>40971090
based, you WILL make it
there is no shame in being weak, only in not becoming stronger and it seems like you are working on that

>>40971091
>i did a pre-made for like the first 2 or 3 months
20 words a day for 2 month is more than enough to start mining. mining after only doing 5 words day for 2 month would be hellish experience.

You could also do 50 words a day and then read instead of breathe

>>40971112
oh yeah than i agree i was saying the same thing earlier too i think 20 maybe 30 but i only did 20 at the start is good and then lowering it as you read more

like every single reply saying "dont do insane amounts of anki" is saying to spend all of that time and more reading and understanding native material
does this just go through ur brain
do u read the little markings on ur computer screen and go... hmmm... well, he said less anki. im gonna stop reading.

this isnt the only post ive seen like this too its insane stop putting all ur fucking faith in anki i know immersion is scary because it doesnt tell you when ur right or when ur wrong but u have to believe. stop being an anki drone

just immerse in anki

>>40971173
Learning Japanese is 80% learning the words/kanji, 10% learning the grammar and 10% learning the culture. So, yeah, learning vocab is of paramount importance. I don't care whether you use anki or something else, as long as you have a method for systematically coming across new words.

Japs have a very wide selection of porn from kid-like to family incest gameshow where if you guess wrong you have to get your sister pregnant

First VNs I played (in English) were Planetarian and Saya no Uta. Now I've played them in Japanese.

I can't remember what I thought of them when I played them back then, other than that planetarian made me cry, but they are both still very good. Planetarian made me cry again.

Saya no Uta was not hard to read, but the technical language in Planetarian was confusing.

>>40971638
Cool anon, same.

Why is nobody talking about JLPT results today? How did it go, everybody?

>>40971650
I was kidding, it's a shit score. This is 4 years of yukkuri selfstudy with anki mining, then looking up the hipster n1 grammar in the textbook the night before I took the test. I never learned the proper way of reading comprehension so all that philosophy shit flew right over my head. Like I could understand the text 100% but all the answers seemed correct or incorrect to me. Really pisses me off because reading eroge is my main method of study.

>>40971707

>>40971707
this is why you need to study textbooks bro

>>40971745
Nah not really. I got 99.7 percentile on n2 and that's where most of eroge are grammar&vocab-wise. Don't need much else then. I just took n1 as a bonus to flex on the nerds (you)

>>40971707

does jlpt score even matter as long as you pass?

https://youtu.be/k_P7Y0-wgos

>>40971782
some people here make fun of not perfect scores, especially the bunko hater

in real life, no it doesn't matter

>>40971782
if u pass with a shit score ur basically signaling that ur nihongo is dogshit and only passed cuz u were lucky

>>40971805
what counts as a shit score?
what counts as a good score?
what score do you even need to pass?

>>40971707
>all the answers seemed correct or incorrect to me
the thing with these pick the most fitting answer questions is you have to find and count the reasons why its wrong then pick the least wrong answer

>>40971814
this only applies if you don't know japanese.

>>40971805
so? you still get the certificate. you don't even have to say your score. score reports get deleted anyway. more than half the people taking jlpt fail it, so passing it alone is still going to impress pretty much everyone.

>>40971782
For bureaucratic things, not really. But for self-assessment is an interesting way of knowing which skill you need to focus more on (although probably nothing you couldn't have known beforehand). I find more important the ratio between the skills than the raw score itself. For example I got 60/60 on reading but 30/60 on listening on N1 so it's clear that I need to focus on listening more. Not that I didn't know before the test, but...

>>40971810
three sections with 60 points, you need at least 19 points in each section and a total of 100 points to pass

>>40971830
that's 1 question out of 3 answered, good job

>>40971822
>you don't even have to say your score
unless they ask you to show the fuckin certficate with the points lol

>>40971830
It needs to be noted that because of the statistical scaling, the raw score does not correlate with the number of questions answered correctly on each section. If you answer 55% correctly on everything, you probably won't get a 100/180, but much less.

>>40971822
>score reports get deleted anyway
Your score is forever printed on your certificate as a mark of shame.

i can retake the test right.......

>>40971850
>>40971854
the certificate doesn't show the score.
source: i own n3 and n2 certificates

>>40971850
It's not. Have you ever taken the JLPT? It's on the score report, an informative document separate from the certificate.

>>40971878
you get two certificates one that says congrats you passed and one with the score listed any sensible employer that knows about the jlpt is going to ask you to show your score

>>40971854
>mark of shame
what if your only option is to get there severly sleep deprived

i never took the jlpt because it would be a ~4 hour early drive and i dont want to get a hotel room and pay more for parking

>>40971878
You get 2 papers bud.

>>40971883
>It's on the score report, an informative document separate from the certificate.

when they talk to you in person they will find out if you know japanese or not
just put any random jlpt screenshot in your application if its needed

>>40971938
good choice

>>40971940
or just take n1 to be safe

>>40971909
if your doing 3 hours a day and ~40 new cards per day, 4 months or less

>>40971951
Seriously? That sounds super low. I was thinking 6 to 12 months

also unlike certificates, score reports can easily be faked, so no one will ask you to show them anyway.

2 or 3 months, at most, its 650 kanji with furigana, you can and will learn those fairly fast cause they are in everywhere
n3 isn't enough for anything though, if you want the test for a job or visa you need n2 (n1 doesn't actually matter), the jump between n3 and n1 is huge
nobody will ever actually care about your score or the test if its not needed for visa reasons, language knowledge is self evident
if you just want to play vidja/read manga/anime, n3 is far far below what you need to know

What matters is whether you can read Japanese or not. You don't need a test to figure that out.

so have you gotten japanese underwear in the mail (without paying for it)

>>40972320
conclusion is: not much

>>40971035
food core 2k

What matters is whether you can read Japanese content you care about or not.

No point in learning parts of Japanese that aren't particulary useful for you and you won't acquire those without interest in the matter anyways.

For me? It's numbers. Don't need 'em. Why even bother? They don't ask numbers in Kanken (something).
