dolly told us that it's basically saying something like:

>is it that you're choosing stake today?

why is dlraw's batch of nagatoro so fucked up, every volume is missing around 15 pages. they give you multiples of the same volume in varying qualities which are funnily enough missing DIFFERENT pages, which means you still have everything (albeit some pages in shitty quality) you just have to swap back and forth multiple times a volume

1. Good luck getting a job without connections or social skills
2. Good luck making better than poverty wages
3. Good luck learning how to actually translate (it takes a lot more than just being fluent in the language)

are the samples on amazon's books representitive of the actual quality of the pages? because these sample pages look fucking awful

無意味ですよ

It's about nine years ago I started learning it for no particular reason; mostly because of a whim "I'm watching a lot of anime so why not try to make the time I spent watching anime useful by learning Japanese at the same time?"

I have now reached N1 level Japanese (which, as I discovered now, is still miles away from actual fluency) and the additional value it has provided to my life is approximately zero. I have no intention of ever moving to Japan, and I have a STEM degree that gives access to jobs that pay many times better than any job involving Japanese.

My enjoyment of Japanese media hasn't improved either. I am still missing about one word every five sentences when watching anime (well, I didn't count, but it feels like that much); if I wasn't trying to maintain my Japanese level, I would prefer just reading the subtitles. Light novels have about four unknown words per page and my reading speed is about half as fast as an average Japanese native. This situation doesn't seem to be improving anytime soon.

In fact, my interest in Japanese media has waned over time. The main reason I am still watching/reading Japanese stuff is a sunk cost fallacy "well, I spent over 4000 hours learning Japanese and it would be a shame to lose that effort due to language attrition." The books I am reading in Japanese right now aren't really boring, but if I wasn't learning Japanese I would probably not be reading their English translations either; if language wasn't a concern I would probably be reading some (English translations of) internationally famous novels instead of restricting myself to Japanese books only.

After having sunk so much time into a language it becomes really hard to just pull the trigger and forget it, even though I probably should.

Over the past nine years, there have been a grand total of three-ish untranslated Japanese works that I was glad I was able to read. All other Japanese works either have a translation available or are not more interesting than your average English work. This was totally not worth the time.

If I could give my younger self advice regarding learning Japanese, then it would be "Do not learn Japanese. It is not worth it."

I need to start reading earlier in the day or something.

>>42367224

>>42367866
i was like that until i started reading stuff i actually wanted to read

>>42367866
you unironically need to read more
youll stop getting tired when your brain gets used to japanese

>>42367874
I am reading what I want to, although filtered through a layer of practicality.

>>42367906
this is what i meant, the tiredness just goes away one day. i used to get exhausted too, now i can read for hours on end

>>42367912
yeah it literally shifted almost overnight
though I was rapidly getting better in the months before that, the tiring effect in particular went away in a 3 day period I still remember really well, cause each day my stamina jumped a huge amount and I've been much more durable since then

>>42367924
based, same
i used to get so tired id take random naps in the middle of the day, then id read some more, then nap again or do some pushups or whatever to wake myself up
then like magic it stopped
wonder if its like that for everyone

for me i just got hooked on a good manga and no longer felt like quitting after just one chapter. i still only read a couple chapters a day unless i find something i really like, which maybe happens 1 or 2 times a month

learning japanese is like forging a kataner
you must fold the steel 1000 times

>folding katanas when you could be folding lolis

If I read something not yet translated, does that make me special?

You just ignore their formality bullshit. We don't care about the implications.

how about just not being a cringe retard xenophile who bases his personality around speaking a foreign language
it's okay to like learning japanese and also it's okay to be normal!

>>42368697
it's more than that
japanese being translated to english is like a man wearing a dress pretending to be a woman

>>>/pol/

learning japanese to a high level without "a good reason" kind of makes you a xenophile by default though, especially if you don't even live in japan. if you're really good at japanese you spent a very large portion of your life learning it after all. i mean hell, ive spent a large portion of my life on it and im not even good at it

>>42368773

shame its twitch tho

>>42368769
any reason is a good reason i say. i personally dont find it a problem, im in the same boat after all. i was just saying that to not be a xenophile in society's eyes would to not learn japanese at all or to have some monetary reason for doing so

So I am getting a bit antsy with trying to hit N1 and have been pushing myself beyond what could be considered reasonable. I am learning about 150 words per day now and I have a 73% learning rate and a 90% known rate for the past three weeks. My best estimate is that I know 7500 words now and I do not feel like I would pass N2 easily. I can pull chunks of spoken anime, but I have difficulty with natural speech without context (radio, vtuber) unless I am very good at the subject. Conversely, my reading speed is good.

I've been training my ears on things like Yamachan's One Piece videos: (Spoilers up to Vol 100 here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2hCsk7D3P4

The speed is what I consider 'quick' but compared to numerous other videos this is not unusual either. I cannot catch the words fast enough, but I can read it just fine. New words exist, yes, but I am very familiar with the subject. I am 90% reading and 10% listening at this point or less. My review cards are 3 hrs+ a day and I will watch an episode or two in comparison. I want to flip this and be equally good in listening, but I wonder if I just grind out to 10k+ or 12k+ vocab will it be worth delaying for the sake of comprehension? (Without subtitle use that is.) I figure that if I know all the words like I pretty much do with Yamachan than I should be able to fix my weakness in other areas faster.

Or am I being unreasonable here? I am not trying to go for JLPT testing and I want to be heavy into literature - but it would be nice to not be stuck at 50%-60% listening comprehension too.

>>42368785
>I am learning about 150 words per day now and I have a 73% learning rate and a 90% known rate for the past three weeks
damn i wish i could do that. if i go over 20 my mature rate tanks

>>42368730
I guess my point is really to turn people away from weird fantasies

>>42368749
educate yourself in history and culture on a broad level, then consider your study of japanese in that context

>>42368785
if this isn't pasta try vbijin, maybe don't spend 3 hours on cards
cards are ultimately meaningless, you can grind to 25 k cards and your listening will not necessarily improve at all other than recognizing some words
listening requires you to be able to hold long sentences in your memory and decode the grammar in them on the fly and you cant get grammar from cards

if youre a fit muscleboundf white man will you get immedfiate sex when you go to japan or is that an exaggeration

>>42368817
>>42368785
here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1d8oHxmNbA really cool channel with ghost stories
any long form narration with salient emotive content will give you good listening gains because to understand it you need to be able to hold the facts of the story and follow it as it goes
people like marine from hololive are great too (she goes on tons of tangents that require you to be able to follow what she says)
>>42368819
its true to a degree, you still need a semblance of personality, hygiene and game, but the amount of those required is much lower and if you are even okay looking girls will pick you up when walking around

It amazes me the amount of effort you guys are putting in to learning a language of a country you probably don't even live in. As a 22 year old NEET half Japanese-half filipino living here for 11 years, I'm embarrassed to admit my general education is very low and I'm unable to properly read hard literature. I was very depressed during school and slept most of the time which lead to horrible grades.

I'm no longer super-depressed and relearning everything from the ground up however and I've learned and improved way more in these few months more than I have in years. I'm hoping I can fight a 東大生 on equal-- or even higher footing whether that be in vocabulary/literature or more technical materials like mathematics. I want to become smarter and seeing you all try this hard to learn ( even if it's just to read your favorite doujin ) is really pleasant to see and I hope you all succeed.

What easy manga/anime does everyone recommend? I'm around N5 level. I tried the よつばと manga, but there were too many colloquialisms, so I switched to ドラえもん and it's much more manageable. For anime, I've been really enjoying Cardcaptor Sakura.

>Can't breathe or think straight
>Have to do anki anyway so it doesn't dump double the cards on me tomorrow (or even more on Monday if I'm sick tomorrow too)
>Can barely remember shit
>Can't retain new information at all
>Just get frustrated and spam 'again' on the last 8 words until they get buried so it'll leave me alone
Does this thing have a 'vacation' or skip day button anywhere? There needs to be some recourse for when your brain is mush for reasons outside of your control and anki isn't going to do anything for you that day.

>>42373208
if you don't do the cards now you have to do them later, wtf do you want it to do? just delete them?

>>42373186
>>42373129

>>42373206
>japanese subtitled clip compilations
what more do you want lol

what's a good place for simple example sentences of a given word?

>>42373216
I want to do them later without anki increasing the amount of cards/reviews/etc it'll force me to do when I resume using anki. Basically, I want to skip a day without being penalized because I'm sick today and I struggle to learn when I'm ill.

>>42373228
the big dictionaires like daijiro and daijirin have good examples in most of their definitions, you can also use onlien dictionaries
for example:
https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E7%9D%A6%E3%81%BE%E3%81%98%E3%81%84/

>>42373239
set your new cards a day to 0 and just do your reviews that day

>>42373239
buddy how do you want to do them later without increasing the amount you'll have to do later?

>>42373208
bro just take the day if its that bad
there is a pause addon i guess, also https://faqs.ankiweb.net/i-am-going-on-vacation-can-i-pause-the-scheduler.html
anki ultimately doesn't matter, whatever is in your mind will still be there when you feel better.
>>42373228
immersion kit has tons of that from anime scenes

>>42373253
Have you ever actually used anki and missed a day? If you miss a day anki will dump more reviews on you than usual the day after.

>>>/a/247677223

>>42373253
you could delay the entire planning by one day

>>42372927
black lagoon

why are there so many threads

>>42373263
that's not really how it works, each card has a set due date set by the algorythm, its not dumping more reviews the day after, its dumping exactly as many as it would anyway, you can set a maxium review number, but that will merely make it so it only shows you that number, the rest will continue to accrue

just consume onative content

I have a really old kindle (4), been reading some LNs on it, but I'm having a bit of a problem. It doesn't deal with furigana very well, just dumps them in the main text. And converting my files to PDF for some reason always goes wrong.
First it'd cut off the sides of the pages (when viewed on my PC too), and after I updated Calibre, it'd make PDFs that rendered properly on my PC, but when read on my kindle would have huge chunks missing. Like suddenly it's all blank for 1/3 of the book. Converting image files to PDF works fine, but that's more than a little bit of a pain in the arse if I have to screenshot 400 pages manually for every book.

There's too many fucking kindles and google's turned retarded in the past decade, so I can't even search up anything relevant. I don't even know if it's a problem with the model.
Ideally I'd just be able to get MOBIs to work and just cram that shit in there, but I'd appreciate fucking anything at this point.

Look at this guy being completely oblivious of how difficult and unintuitive the word actually is. Next thing you are going to say is that japanese is flat and you don't have to worry about it.

man i played diablo2 res for the first time in japanese and i get such strange fun feels.

Oh shit I lost the motivation. I am doubting I will make it.

it's been one month since I've come back to seriously learning and i feel like i'm progressing nicely! haven't missed a day of reps and am managing to immerse for at least one hour a day, often a lot more

What are the best dictionaries to use?

i like these

>>42374548
Click on the kanji if you want info on it specifically for some reason.

any dictionaries intended for japanese kids? would that even be better than a j-e dictionary?

>>42374820
well okay lets
>>42374857
https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp is the easiest i found
some anon bought a kids paper dictionary some time ago, wonder how it went
in the end to use a j-j dict you need to either wait till you know a lot of words/kanji, or be willing to mine the definitions themselves until something gets through

>一杯 = いっぱい
>二杯 = にはい

how do i remember these shits

>Practice my kanji readings
>Blow through wanikani reviews like nothing
>Can actually understand some of the things I see on screen while immersing now
Bros...I'm making it...

>>42374890
yeah that's my problem, if i look something up I just fall into a rabbit hole of new words and it feels more efficient to just use a j-e dictionary and context of whatever immersion material i'm looking something up from
i'll give gooner dictionary a go and see how I get along, thank you

Which is correct?

but I love her

>>42375135
Technically it's wo but gets pronounced as o.

>>42375135
there's no correct when it comes to romaji
there's different systems

>>42375136

i unironically fell in love with her

>>42375135
it's technically wo but Japanese people usually say o instead, kind of like how the は particle is pronounced わ
in song they often say wo, but not so much in speech

spoke to a japanese girl yesterday who used to teach japanese so she asked me about n1
she said its really normal for the people who pass to not speak japanese at all

of course, n1 is pre-beginner

>>42375298
me soon

i see 甘い a lot in hentai and i know it means sweat and can also mean innocence, is there another more lewd meaning? like vagina juice etc

took n1 in december i'm just waiting for the nips to send me my 180/180 certificate

dear lord pls give me the strength to read japanese for just another day thank you アメン

>>42374865
the original is from /int/ and its many years old

... it's pretty good

>>42375347
they use it similar to how we use 'spoil' or 'treat' as a verb in english
an 甘えん坊 is a spoiled child

Day 10: Today I gonna start with 7 through 9 and contiune with new Anki deck.

>>42375298

>>42375388

>>42375396
keep me posted

>>42375298
yeah but it looks good in my resume

I swear to fuck this N5 deck I've been using has gimped my reading to all hell because it never used kanji. This new and improved Core 2000 I'm using has a lot of words I already know except in kanji form.

just read

>>42375446
Common problem.
Tae kim guide even explicitly addresses it in the introduction.

>>42375446
>it never used kanji
lmao he feel for it

>>42375453
How about I read your obituary?

>*unsheathes katana*

>>42375446
Kek
Maybe start with some furigana manga
usually not that helpful for learners. it's good for jap children who have the vocab but not the kanji yet, so they read it and go "oh so that's the kanji for that word"
Of course your vocab is nothing compared to theirs and it will mostly still be like other beginners but furigana might help you pick up on some of the words you do vaguely know

is it just a coinkydink that 名前 sounds like name?

>>42375499
Is it just a coinkydink that the "nichi" in Sunday means "sun"?

>>42375465
its in japanese so you cant read it lol

>>42375737
do you actually just skip anything you can't immediately recall? that sounds like a really bad idea
active recall is the main part of memorization, it's how the neuron paths get reinforced and shit. That experience of sitting there with that "tip of the tongue" feeling and thinking through your mnemonic or whatever system you happen to use

that said I still get like 8s tops, and that's with stopping to look things up and reinforce often

me and my future jk gf in the picture

>>42375841
That's normal. You'll also find that some words stick long term effortlessly and others don't.
>省電力 9 reviews 0 lapses 11.5 month interval
the card I made immediately after that
>うっかり 60 reviews 10 lapses 25 day interval
It is what it is.
