引力 is truly... 奇妙

>子猫神父s stand sucks at fighting!
>ミケ猫神父s stand fucks everyone up
奇妙 indeed

ahhh i want to stop doing anki and immerse more

permission granted

is the jlpt leaks out? I want to know if I passed or not

明日、6時に起こしてください
The anki deck I use has this translated as "Please wake me up at six tomorrow." What makes it "wake me up..." instead of asking someone to "please wake up..."?

木 is such an unexpected prick of a character

Did anyone here ever run into 誉める in the wild or is it just another remnant to ignore like 判る?

>>41955582
i've seen it before
>in the wild
oh, nevermind

>>41955582
almost certainly, but even if i havent before i knew the reading and meaning because it's obvious by the kan-ji

n6

>>41957226
can you transcribe the bottom left text?

>>41955670
That it doesn't have a writing section

>>41957299
no and i dont feel bad about it

well JLPT sucked, now to wait for chyna to leak the questions so i can see how badly i failed.

Thinking of making the jump from Kindle Paperwhite to Kobo sage. not worried about the battery issues just want to ask if it works well for making Anki cards

>>41957724
The kobo CPU is dogshit compared to kindle, but koreader strangely runs way better on kobo

>>41952722
I don't own a phone or a nintendo switch. I limit myself to coming on here for no longer than 40 minutes/day

>>41957760
My Kindle bricks it when I try to highlight something and the page turn rate is often slow even though I don't use much of the storage space. Is that the same with the Kobo?

>>41957724
I own a kobo libra 2, I'm going to assume the following is as true for the sage (IIRC they have the same cpu?)
It's pretty good IMO, as long as you're willing to install KOReader ofc.
Without koreader it's worthless, because the default reader can't parse japanese text, so when you try to look up a word you have to carefully select exactly the word which is just unacceptably slow. Ko reader on the other hand works like yomichan, just select where the word starts and the parsing is accurate and quick.
Highligting is also very very easy, and once you have the highlights, you can just use the app kohighlights to directly export all of them, even directly in HTML, at that point it's trivial to quickly make all your anki cards.

i have a 2019 paperwhite and it does the job, keep it on airplane mode though

>check leak
>listening mondai 3 all answers wrong
:'(

>>41957895
Do you have experience reading manga on it? Was hoping to do it on the kindle but the zoom is so clunky. I just read that the battery on Sage is even worse with Koreader so maybe Libra 2 of Forma would be better

>>41957960
it's grand for books but even stuff like exporting highlights is a pain (cuts off the end of the sentence)

>>41957983
I have read some manga on it, but it's only suitable for that if you read them in english or if you're already very fluent in JP. Otherwise it's too small.
Honestly even the bigger sage IMO is not suitable for manga. If you want to read those, ANY cheap tablet (heck even my 6.5" phone) is way way way better than basically any ereader. The moment you have to zoom even once ereaders just shit all over the place.

>>41958018
the eyestrain from my iPad Mini (the one from last year, can't remember the number) hurts my eyes after even just a half hour. Sounds like I should stick to books until I'm better

>>41958046
If you want to read jp books etc, the kobo libra 2 with koreader earns high recommendations from me.
However if you also want to read manga on it and a tablet doesn't do it for you, the only thing I'd consider is a 10" ereader.
The new kindle scribe is way too compromised an experience IMO, so I can't recommend it, but if you look around for android equipped ereaders with a 10" you should find a few.

>>41957972
RIP
any leaks with questions yet or just the chynese one with answers?

>>41958061
no haven't seen it yet

i don't even bother trying to read manga on a small eink screen where it's a chore to pinch zoom
any tablet will be a better experience

>>41958102
For manga in english this isn't much of a problem for me since I never need to zoom, but for manga in JP it's just a worthless experience, will always use my proper tablet for that.

>>41958102
>>41958058
>>41958210

I just tweaked the settings on my tablet to reduce eyestrain and it looks a lot more readable already.

I hadn't realised ereaders were universally clunky for manga but I suppose they're not built for it at all.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll get the Sage or the cheaper Forma/ Libra 2 since Koreader seems to be the way to go for JP books

out of jlpt now
knowledge and reading was pretty free except for one question i know i got wrong

for the listening i didnt pay attention to two of the first questions, for question 2 i wasnt sure between shiken and kenshuu, for question 3 between poster haru basho wo sagasu and chirashi wo kubaru
for the man at the end i picked kyabetsu but maybe it could have been kinoko, again i didn't pay enough attention
what did you pick bros?

>>41959111
as for me i'm on volume 11 of the ln

Then she goes on adventures and kills a big snake, then makes pudding and everyone is liek WOAAH PUDDING and then she kills adamantium golems and then she makes ice cream and everyoen is like WOAAH ICECREAM and so on and so forth

>>41959713
WOAAHHH picked up!

>>41959713
On one hand it sounds just retarded enough to be enjoyable, but on the other hand it sounds like I'll get bored of it in 1 volume and drop it.

you will never be japanese
you will never have the same emotional pathos that japanese feel when they hear or speak japanese
you will never understand what its like to grow up in a small island country surrounded only by similarly japanese people
no matter how good at japanese you think you've gotten, in the end it's only an illusion built by your non japanese mind

I have done my Wanikani and Anki reps for the day, and made very few mistakes. Yosh! I continue to get tripped up by kaeru, kasu, kariru though. I think the trouble is that the English word for rent/loan works both ways. You can rent something from Blockbuster, but at the same time Blockbuster is renting you something.

>>41960627
yeah those take a while to get used to
don't worry too much about them, usually context will make obvious who is getting what from who
you also see a lot of jokes about those in nip stuff, monogatari comes to mind

Your English grammar is shit. They are not renting you something, they are lending you something.

>>41960848
Lol esl

>>41960836
you already spent 2 hours on the grammar and reading section right before
so your focus isnt exactly at 100% anymore when the listening starts, and before you know it you missed whether the 研修 is this month or next month which then turns out to be important information at the end of the dialogue

>>41960848
Sorry, but this is wrong.
For example, you can purchase a house and rent it out.
Blockbuster purchases movies and rents them out.

>>41960848
ironic post

>By the way many people confuse the past form of lend, which is lent (spelled with l) with the word rent, (spelled with r). When you rent something, you pay money to use that thing for a short amount of time.

(アリスが瓶を)うまくと断尾の一つへ通りすがりに置いておいた。

Call me a brainlet but I just don't understand anything about the sentence. Why is うまく just standing there randomly next "one of the cupboards". Why directional particle? What is going on with that weird kana behind 通, why target particle に? What is ておく again?

Call me a brainlet, I don't see it. It is not clicking for me at all.

don't get why people use this minimalpair trash app. couple of things that are just completely wrong lol

No better feeling desu. Thank god I live in a place with much less office hours and better pay

>>41961518
its all explained at 9:53, btw the kanji you used are wrong, 戸棚、cupboard, 断尾 cutting the tail off a something
https://youtu.be/cYrqFjPvwSI
if it doesn't quit sink in right now dont worry too much about it, it will eventually

>>41961518
うまく modifies the entire rest of the sentence, which is a description of what アリス did with the 瓶. Knowing that, parse back from the end and it should make sense except for >断尾, wtf.

>>41961349

Don't know what "modify" here means. Could you please show me the process of how you do it? The "parsing from the end". And why from the end?
>>41961588
That's what I got when I put the sentence in reverso, except the "as she passed" by was at the end. But where is the second oku in the translation?
>>41961561
Yeah, I made my post here and skipped it. But I still really wish to know why those particles were used.

>>41961310
>wo iru
What?

変わった形だ would also be fine but 変わった形をする is like "have a weird shape." You could similarly ask what the point of "have" here is.

>>41961589
I did N2 too. Good luck, bro.

>>41959452
N1 was quite a bit harder than N2.

I didn't have much time to spare on the reading one and had to speed read near the end. I probably did good in it. What was the answer for the how to take good pictures question with the katakana options? I had no idea what B and C were. ガーソル and ピンタ?

The listening one was hard. Having to take notes and listen at the same time. I guessed cabbage for the man too.

whats the point of learning grammer? surely you just pick it up through immersion? same as with your mother language?

i was born and raise in england and have no idea about grammer or sentence structure, or verb states and irregular nouns and trasnsitive blah blah, i just know it through living it, i cant tell you why something goes in the order it does, it just feels right, so why bother doing this shit with another language?

>>41961731
You don't have to specifically target grammar. Some people learn grammar through immersion.

>>41961731
i will never set a foot in Japan or meet Jap in person. that makes learning through immersion not possible

>>41961767
そうですね

finna immerse my dick in a jap (again)

>>41961728
ピント was the right answer, I didn't know what the fuck it was but it seemed like the right one.

how do you say "to describe"? doesnt seem like theres a word that maps directly. 写す, 描く, etc. are more metaphorical i think? but what about the actual act of describing something?

hello all does anyone have a good book pdf link for vocabulary learning. Not like a dictonary but more of a daily words learner book like 1000 words in one book for beginners.

>>41962007
Why not just use Anki?

>>41962013
im autistic and dont like anki. I prefer books more than anki because I like learning from pdfs better than flash cards.

>>41962025
Stop being autistic then.

>>41962037
No i like things that look like books. I dont like the flash cards because 1 it doesnt look as great and 2 i never find a good deck thats organized or orientated toward daily word learning. Most of the time its scattered or its shit.

>>41962025
quit

>>41962049
I have an N5 deck that feeds me comfy words daily. きっさてん :3c

>>41962049
you're don't even know 1000 words you have no clue what you're talking about

>>41962071
That would be the purpose of the book to teach me 1000 words.

>>41962069
Can i try your anki deck if you say its good?

>>41961838
saying a cat is red isnt really a 説明 either

doesnt this have the same issue as the ones i mentioned in that it means something like "to paint a picture"?

>>41961910
also closer to "to convey".

what i want is more like "please describe your cat for me."

>特徴を教えて
is deepls best suggestion

>>41962081
I don't KNOW if the deck is good, but so far I've been doing it daily and remembering stuff. The URL for it doesn't work for whatever reason, but just google around for an N5 deck. They'll all be the same shit. I'm combining it with Wanikani.

thank you for sharing.

>>41962140
I have core2.3k but the problem is that it's just a wall of complex kanji that I don't understand, and nothing sinks in. If there's an actual kanji deck to help learn readings that'd be great.

i know it's not the best measurement but people who took the n1, how many mature vocab do you have, how much do you read/what are some favorite things you've read?
taking it in another 5 months or so, want to see how hard i should commit to the remainder of the grind

>>41962189
didnt take the n1 cause im n0
got more cards than you plus im better in every way

Two questions for all the JLPT bros who took it yesterday:

1. Was there any “ten minutes remaining” or any other kind of warning before “PENCILS DOWN”? I’ve taken other 資格 here, and there was always a warning, but not this time. Fuckers.

2. How was the sound system for the listening section? We had a goddamn boom box straight from the fuckin’ nineties at the front of the room. Could barely make the shit out.

I *probably* passed, but I really feel the way the test was given was not entirely fair, and that is not a complaint I can make about other 資格: they’re hard but fair. This, however...

>>41962242
I got a “ten minutes remaining” warning, and that's it. No other warning at all other than that.

>2. How was the sound system for the listening section?
CD in a 90's boom box for me. Kinda hilarious in a way.

>>41962242
>. Was there any “ten minutes remaining” or any other kind of warning before “PENCILS DOWN”
lool there is so much time though

>>41962195
Alright, I'll bite. Who is she and what's the title?

>>41962242
Was "pencils down" said in EN or JP lmao

>>41962283
Yeah, but there were two reading questions I wasn’t *entirely* sure of, so I left them to fill in latPENCILS DOWN!.

Fuckers. JLPT is a goddamn clownshow compared to kanken.

>>41962329
Jap, naturally. 鉛筆を擱いて下さい！

>>41962357
>擱いて
I feel like I've seen a million verbs that mean "to stop" so far.

>>41962279
>got a “ten minutes remaining” warning

Goddamnitsomuch.

I lost three points because I didn’t get that. How the fuck is there this much difference between the way the test is conducted between venues?

My wife often managed the センター試験 — the uni entrance test, the crazy one that kids literally kill themselves for — and *everything* about the test is regulated down to the tiniest details that we would never, EVER even consider. If *anything* is amiss, it gets redone,

The degree of 差 here is disturbing.

>>41961082
*blocks your path*

>>41962371
Nuance. 擱 is “set down, stop using, etc.” I try to remember these by using them.

>>41962429
Alas, my one weakness, a brick wall.

>>41962428
thats why they tell you to bring a watch

>>41962450
I wonder how that guy attempting to make synthetic Sui-piss is doing.

>>41962465
I did, thank fuck. There was no wall clock at all — another thing that never happened in kanken.

And when they say, for example, 12:30~14:30, that is NOT two hours — it is two hours LESS the 説明 time. Kind of important for time management.

>>41962524

for the man i put kome because he said he was from that city and they make good rice. for the woman i put itigo because she said she was from tokyo and it was the most popular idk i’m retarded too

>>41962554
kanken 10 is easier than N5

kome is a city?? i thought it was koube

kome is rice

no one would embarrass themselves taking kanken 10 with a bunch of kindergarteners

from the city that they were in and talking about. they make have good kome apparently

isn't kome the rare golden flying smile from dai?

took it today
read over 200 lns 500 manga volumes and watched 7000 anime eps
it was free i definitely passed and got 99% right but i may have one or two incorrect answers in the reading section because fuck those WHAT'S THE MOST FITTING STATEMENT TO THE TEXT questions

>>41962242
we had a 10 minutes remaining warning though i had already gone through the entire test twice by that point
audio quality was good, no issue at all sorry to hear you had a shitty venue

the pink ones are 先祖返り

What kills me is Chinese adverbs like 悽愴.

Reading? Yeah. But can you write it when tested? Can you instantly distinguish between the almost-innumerable ways to say “this sucks”? Especially when they become homonyms in Japanese.

Many of the 漢語 adjectives and such reflect ancient onomatopoeia which no longer exists. It’s a fucker, man.

>>41962894
what resources did you use to study for kanken 1? just the books? and how did you study? just infinite anki cards or? obviously "read more" doesnt work when like 2k of the kanji never show up in text, not to mention rare readings.

>>41962894
>>41962916
I feel like an average Japanese person would look at what you're doing and wonder why the fuck you're bothering.

>>41962894
yes i can write it those kanji are very common
i dont even think its a level 1 word they probably test it on pre 1 stop dramatizing easy shit its cringe

are kanji radicals worth studying in the first few months of learning japanese
if so does anyone have a good anki deck

>>41955086

>>41962940
irys gets so much cute art bros

they are both １級 kanji ignore the mentally ill person

>>41962916
I began with the books of that old questions.

That wasn’t enough.

So I learned every 四字熟語 I could, and every associated kanji, and its kun and compounds.

That wasn’t enough.

So I went through every single kanji in the scope, and learned its on, kun, and compounds where applicable.

That wasn’t enough.

Then I just read, and sucked up every single word and idiom I could.

It’s brutal. Even a Jap professor of Classical Chinese would have trouble.

>>41962894
good points excellent post

lmao you triggered anon
"noooo pay attention to me"

you have to look that up on google whereas i already know them its pretty clear whos jealous and mentally ill

>nooo know your place im soooo coool and better than you why wont you look at me?!?!?!?!

lmao

who got triggered? i only know the kanken guy i don’t know the other person

>>41962922
For example:

Have you grown thin because of sadness? Or worry?

傷悴
憔悴

Which of these homonyms is correct? That’s the kind of fine point which gets tested.

A general point of advice for this crap is: “learn the words in context”. Most 漢語 occur in almost-set phrases.

if only he had acquired his meds a year ago too

>>41962919
was looking at google maps with a japanese person once and i asked if they knew how to read 較正 because i didnt and they said it was probably chinese

>>41963078

>>41963058
oh no nonnoo

>>41962970
could you go into your study methods a bit?
im considering transitioning over to kanken study since im close to "finishing" regular japanese study. of course there is always more to learn but i can read anything and i have ran out of things to mine. most people quit anki at this point but i think getting at least 準１級 would be fun and im not missing that much knowledge reading-wise. its mostly writing.

>>41962996
Just that every time I took the test, this chubby old guy came bustling in — focus on the word “bustling” — just two or three seconds before the test began.

Every time. I hope he passed.

>>41963104
Just start on another language?

>>41963112
>focus on the word “bustling”
Ah, as an example of how annoying nuanced verbs are in all languages.

>>41963116
only other language im interested in is chinese which brings us back to square one doesnt it?

dno why the n6 idiot is having a hysterical fit over people not sucking like he does. not gonna bite his bait tho
>>41963080
its good for learning everything kanken i easily got to level 2 with it

>>41963126
>only other language im interested in is chinese
Never learn a language if the people that speak it are assholes. Learning Chinese is as dumb as learning Indian or Arabic.

should i stop yomichaning every words im having a doubt with or on the contrary keep doing it until i don't have no doubts anymore
I'm a bit scared of becoming too reliant on it, i realize it when i spend 30 minutes reading a single doujinshi while i breeze through vinnies looking up words faster than light (voice acting really help not having to check every words I'm not 100% sure on the reading too)
I started learning less than 4 months ago though so i guess it's normal that i still have to look up a lot of "known" common words but i don't want to make a habit of it

>>41963184
never used yomichan for that reason

i botched pretty much all the N1 listening except for 問題2
is it over?

>>41963104
theres nothing special about the writing component of pre 1 just make writing cards
passing pre 1 is harder though because it tests a lot of other things beyond writing words with the right kanji

>>41963206
Don't give up. Just try again next year.

Also, bust your ass on the 四字熟語. They are not only a major part of the test, they are often useful in other sections, in other forms.

nah you only need like a 100/180 to pass

>>41963206
you just need to not fail outright and pass the other sections bro
you got this

>>41963289
you still need to pass each individual section

>>41963212
pre-1 expands the scope effectively infinitely.

They can test *anything* within the scope of the kanji, even the rarest readings.

they're the group of questions that ask the question then pause to let you read
then the questions where you choose a response came up and it said something like これは新品のジャケットです　ぜひお召しになってください
and the first option was the typical jappy いただきま~す!　which made me laugh and I think threw me off for the rest of them

need some manga recommendation that has a lot of suspense / is very intriguing so i wont stop reading and do other shit on page 10 already, some mysterious and shit with a big world and thick plot etc etc

>>41963166
thanks ill order it right now.

>>41963234
that makes sense. are there words and 四字熟語 that are never going to show up on the test, and if so how do you know which ones? or is it literally any word in the dictionary goes/helps? the hardest part to me seems to be that there is no set "curriculum" for level 1. if i had an exact list of things to memorize it would be a lot comfier to study for. its hard to study for a goal thats both so far in the future (how long did it take you btw?) if i cant tell that im moving in the right direction instead of memorizing things that wont show up on the test.

whats the most comprehensive kanji database then, that has rare readings like that?

>>41963337
The general idea I want to say is this:

If you are studying for kanken, focus on the 漢; they are Chinese, after all.

Learn your Classics: Confucius, Mencius, The Classic Of Poetry, etc... To truly understand Jap is to understand its history. You cannot truly know Jap as you cannot truly grasp English without a good, working knowledge of Greek and Latin. And the Bible, now that I think about it.

Learn Buddhism. Don’t t have to believe it; just learn it.

There were some cute girls at the jlpt exam. Around a quarter of the people taking it were women and, of those women, maybe a quarter were good looking so there weren't many. But they did exist.

Don't worry, it's just your medication.

what do you even do with n1
i feel like n5 to n3 shouldn't even exist

Here in Moonland, the N1 room was entirely SE-Asians, but for me, one white chick and one black dude.

The white people were overwhelmingly N3 or below.

Where the fuck is Moonland?

It gives people a goal to shoot for.

I understand that well; stepping-stone, rung-on-a-ladder... it helps.

>>41963553
It's kinda funny that the N1 pass rate in moonland is so much lower than outside Japan.
I would've thought that all that immersion would've helped a little.

there were no cuties at my test
i even brought condoms what a letdown

>>41963575
because if you're already effectively living in japan what motivation do you have, just go and do the things the people not already in japan wish they could do, language proficiency be damned

The first is official; the latter is based on it, but not quite “official”

There is *absolutely no limit* to what they will test. They can and will test shit that does not occur even in the official books. I’ve once had to look up an answer in the original, Classical Chinese; no Jap; Book Of Changes, or something.

Start with 準一級. Go from there. 準一級 and 一級 are completely different animals.
