Anybody know of a good screen ocr for Android, ideally one that also works for handwriting
Currently using Evertranslator + DeepL, but oftentimes the OCR misreads or misses characters.
I've also tried Kaku, but the controls are incredibly frustrating to use, not to mention a bug which makes it so that not all the screen is available for capturing

Why are you learning Japanese?

>>42995588
https://streamable.com/c1pre2

So I got bored of mixing up hiragana constantly while trying to memorize it and just started transcribing text in romanji instead of memorizing them in void
Amazingly it works, who would think that learning shit through actual activities works better?

Have been living in Osaka for a few years now, but my Japanese language ability is still atrocious.

Has anyone done an immersive program here? Has it helped/worked?

Does anyone know of a proper immersion language program here? Looking for a place that hopefully offers classes in the evening as I work during the day

Bros watching Anime with simultaneous ENG and JAP subtitles is useless, without knowing kanji. And reading both at the same time is also impossible. I think I will resort to just Japanese alone, and search the meaning of every kanji they say in dictionary, and then switching to english to understand the sentence completely. But I'm sure it won't be fun....

Butterface, but it won't matter if I do her from the back.

I fucked up and skipped anki for 4 days in a row.
Now I've come back but every day I have to review 100 or so cards, is this ever gonna ease up or am I stuck with it until the end of time?

Jesus, I can't understand a word today

"You learn kanji naturally through vocab. The other way around you learn Chinese."
Is he right? Should I skip learning Kanji alone>

>>43001331
it should ease up in a few days, don't do any new cards if you want it quicker

isolated kanji study is dumb af

Someone explain this expression to me please

>>43001331

Bro, that's not a lot. If you can't stand reading 100 words of Japanese every day, you're never going to make it.

>>43001366
What are you not understanding? Holding back is poison for the body. Straightforward.

>>43001382
Time is an issue.
It takes me at least 1 hour to review 100 cards, and then I spend another hour or more on grammar and then one hour or more on immersion.

>>43001349

>>43001405

I just thought it could have been one of those expressions like "don't adjust your hat under a plum tree"
shouldn't have overthought it I guess

>>43001420
Alas

>>43001405
Then start reviewing them faster, idiot. 5 seconds per card, tops. No breaks, just keep doing them until they're done. Ignore grammar study for now.

>>43001426
but how? you hit again on every single card?

no you stop thinking.
see word, do you recall it y/n?
done

your card design might also be an issue, sentence cards are slow af with no benefit

>>43001420
I'm sure he gets off focus a lot, it used to happen to me when I had very hectic days or bad moods, if I'm at 100% it takes me 25/30mn to do 200 cards in anki.

>>43000682
you guys always post this but was she talking about learning english or japanese?

Looking for advice to pass N5.

I'm currently getting pretty angry that I can't pass N5 tests on the Easy Japanese app and getting pretty sick of seeing people become fluent after sniffing a bowel of ramen.

I've been studying Japanese through Anki mostly, and Genki on and off admittedly. My main decks consist of vocab and kanji of which I can recognise around 400 kanji and know a fair amount of vocab, but for whatever reason, I just can't improve to pass N5.

I believe the problem is grammar mostly and how questions in N5 don't use kanji for a lot of the words. Edit: Though I do have an N5 grammar book, which I read but nothing sticks like vocab or kanji keywords.

How can I pass N5? I want to get this foundation at the very least.

As an example here is a question I couldn't answer..

A:　うちから会社まで＿＿＿＿かかりますか。 B:　25分ぐらいかかります。

どのくらい / いくら / どう / どんな

I see house, office/company. No idea what かりますか is apart from a question. How long does it take to get to work perhaps? I can see about 25 minutes, so I assume so.

It's not B.

What do I do?

>>43001464
Kinda. My memory was never the best and I have a hard time making cards stick. This is what my stats look like.
Doing 20 new cards a day.
>>43001699
Thanks, I'm already using that, it's set to 15s.

>>43001895

I can already tell that you don't want to learn Japanese. You think you do, but in reality you don't. Do yourself a favor and drop out early.

>>43000576
>Dual subtitles
>Thinking kanji is the issue
Read manga until you have a decent vocabulary, then listen to anime and use jap subs as a listening aid.

>>43002006
yeah dual was a bad idea. I learned English that way, but Japanese is a different beast, so excuse me.

how many seconds per card do you guys aim for? I got 4.47 today but felt like I was kind of rushing it.

I heard that 8 words a day was a good amount. I'd say I'm progressing ok, but it'll still take a while for me to get used to the rythm.

How many words a day do you guys set your anki to?

>>43004230
typically 50 a day, 8 a day would take years to reach a basic level

>>43004230
That's fine for starting out. What's important is forming a habit.

Stupid question, but as far as I know japanese has some differences for female and male speakers (well the only thing that comes to mind is how they refer to themselves like watashi or ore). Like most I mostly care about media that includes more female speakers...does that impact speaking patterns in a negative way?

In the end I mostly care about understanding speech and writing so it doesnt matter that much that i sound like a sperg, but how much of an impact does that actually have?

What's a realistic timeframe to achieve N5 using Anki and Bunpro? I'm planning to start playing visual novels after 2 months.

I'm going to a Japanese language school in October and would like to start from N5 when I'm there. I've been watching anime for years and I'm already bilingual btw.

>>43005439

so you're just going to bore yourself to death before those 2 months? just start reading now

why would i lie about that? i doubt black people even know about this board desu

>>43005444
>n1 in 8 months
I've seen that reddit post too. I didn't really find it that realistic though. Is it actually possible by immersing yourself in Japanese all day? My goal is to become an N2 or N1 in two years, then take the EJU and enroll in a Japanese university. I've already tried my chance with universities offering English programs but wasn't able to get into them as my high school grades suck.

>>43005449
I mean, I'll probably have to copy and paste constantly but maybe that's the best way to learn it.

>>43005479
why wouldn't it be possible? i don't know what the redditfag claimed but if you spend a shitton of time daily you're obviously going to improve fast

>>43005479
>enroll in a Japanese university.
Why? No matter how good your moon is, you'll never be accepted in the country. You could live there for decades, start a family with a nip woman, and you'll still be an outsider.

>>43005508
based japs keeping the trash out

>>43005508
Not like I am currently accepted in my own country either kek. I'm a third worlder looking to leave and Japan sounds like a better option than Europe and the US currently. Anime propaganda probably has a considerable effect but there's also the fact that Japan doesn't have as many immigrants as Europe and the US.

>会意兼形声文字です(田+丁)。「区画された耕地」の象形(「田畑」の意味)と「横から見た釘」の象形(「釘を打ち込む」の意味)から、耕作地の境(さかい)に釘のように打ち込まれた、「あぜ道(田と田の間の細い道)」、「境(さかい)」を意味する「町」という漢字が成り立ちました。

It was originally for the footpath between rice paddies, then expanded into streets more generally. Street and town words are mixed together.

丁, as described above, was originally a pictogram of the posts struck along such streets. The meaning probably narrowed so another character 釘 had to be made in its stead.

its not the passing in 8 months part thats bullshit its the score

>>43005540
Seems I didn't read closely enough and overspoke a bit.
>耕作地の境に釘のように打ち込まれたあぜ道
The post (nail) meaning is more figurative.

>>43005249
Don't learn kanji or radicals by themselves. It's meaningless. Learn words instead. It helps for the first a few hundred kanji but then it gets comical.

1) font issue
2) The reason some fonts are like that is because there is 0 issue of confusing them in writing as one is a capital vowel and the other is a lowercase letter. The same cannot be said of kanji, there are handwritten kanji that look nearly identical and there are square kanji that look nearly identical, and they can form words with the same kanji that share similar, but not quite the same meanings.

Why wouldn't you study japanese is English? It's the scientific lingua franca. Pretty much all discussion about the Japanese language is done in English.
Wait you mean learn to speak Japanese? That's undergrad shit. Don't tell me. ONONONO No Fucking retards.

Words like this give me confidence that I can become fluent, because I guarantee that 99.99% of natives have no idea that half the random ass words in these threads even exist, just like how random English natives don't use uncommon words on the reg either. Fluency can be achieved at a much lower level than midwits think.

This is what I get for always hitting hard and setting it to 20 new words per day.

You can't call yourself fluent in a language unless you know every single words it contains.
Yes this includes words like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

only i can be fluent in english since i invented the language

>>43010199
That's a liberating thought to be not fluent in any language at all.

passing n5 is fluent, everything past that is esoteric garbage no native speaker could possibly know

Just ask yourself how much of your native language the people around you know.

>surrounding yourself with people
no thanks

>>43010257
My nip is shit but out of curiosity I watched one of those N5 practice videos a few days ago and laughed it off. Do people actually take that shit seriously?

redditards were arguing n4 was fluent a while back
mantenning N1 is sub middle school level the jlpt as a whole is a joke especially given the pants on head retarded 100/180 is a pass.

>>43010283
If I wanted to surround myself with better people I wouldn't be learning the language of people that still use fucking fax machines.

>>43006368
no you shouldn't be nervous. I entered during the pandemic and my reason was some bullshit like "to learn to be innovative". Still accepted. My advice when doing anything is that a consulate doesn't care what the country will do for you. They care what you'll do for Japan. So stuff like "learn the language so I can better contribute to the workforce" or "support tourism" rings well in their ears.

>>43010397

thanks mlen bro if you can do it so can i and i mean that as an insult

probably but its like comparing apples to oranges so its pointless. there is no definition of "a word" that fits for both english and japanese.

>>43010983
言葉ですね

Im visiting in Japan for the first time and have been trying to practice some of the simple Japanese phrases I have learned. I was leaving a taxi last evening and said “ありがとうございます, こんばんは.” hoping to convey that I wish them a good evening. They laughed/chuckled and repeated the word こんばんは. This has happened twice now. I can’t figure out if they are laughing because I have said something wrong or if they are just surprised/happy that I have spoken Japanese. Does anyone know if this is the wrong thing to say?

when's the djt meetup in japan?

ah fuck i just found a better post than that one but i don't wanna post 2

>>43011003
Most likely a combination of your accent plus obviously being a tourist. Taxi drivers in tourist hubs get that shit all the time.

>>43011003
that is a greeting you say when you meet somebody, not when you are leaving

>>43011015
Hang on just lemme pass N4 so I'm fluent first.

>>43011040
Hah I didn't even notice that he said when LEAVING the cab. What a fucking autist.

passing n4 is impossible even for natives

>>43011033
>>43011056
*chops off dick*

>>43011058
I once asked a native if he'd passed N4 and he just laughed. I figured that's because he hadn't.

>>43010983
This. A "word" is a pretty nebulous concept.

Is "pointless" one word or two words? What about "dog house"? Is "'s" a word? Is の? How many words among take, taking, taken, took?

Not as retarded as the guy who posted 5 grammar points and asked if he's missing any lmao

>>43012227
hmm im guessing youre ESL but basically in english when someone poses a question with an obvious answer its not because thats what they think its just to incite answers/discussion

Ya if I'm bleeding out and I ask which way to the hospital, I don't actually care about your answer. It's just the discussion I am interested in
You'd know this if you were American. Once saw a guy get hypothermia giving the classic Midwest Goodbye

>>43012269
i guess its just an english thing then, for example if you went into a bar and said 'got any beer' that wouldnt be weird even though of course a fucking bar has beer lol, your posing a question as a request essentially, when i say 'am i missing any?' of course i am, theres probably 100 connectors in jap im just posing it as a question, ill give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume its not a common way of asking things in america but im surprised you havent encountered this desu

>>43012306
and by 'english thing' i mean the country not the language

your autistic cope posting is infinitely more embarassing than asking a stupid question

>>43012306
You ask 'got any beer' in a bar in America they're gonna give a sarcastic response back and treat the whole thing like an odd joke. A proper American will just walk up and tell you his life story regardless of if you ever met him before. Don't need no stupid leading questions

>>43012333
yeah i thought as much, i think americans take things more at face value i guess, cool to see the cultural differences though

>>43012326
sure i guess you know what i was thinking i guess :) yep i deffo thought that they were the only 5 connectors in japanese

i know this board and thread trends young but fucking hell guys learn some nuance

>>43012333
Ask that in a regular British pub and they'd just ask you what you wanted because they're not fucking austistic lmaoooo

im not the same anon retard, look youre fucking autistic get over it, the fact that you took me in a literal way and then sperged out about it just says it all, stop replying to me.

>>43012424
ye i came in late too m8, my bad for assuming the two autistic bongistanis were the same, whats your excuse

wanting an honest discussion about japanese grammar in english is even more retarded

Woah hold up there are two autists here.
There's the autistic that thought the guy was being serious about grammar questions and then there's the autistic who got mad at British English. Im the one who got mad at the Brits but I always knew the grammar post was a shitpost

more than two, i'm a J-J purist autist

feels good not be an autist

>>43012450
nah i didnt want a discussion here about japanese grammer in english :) i wanted examples in japanese of further connecting words

>>43012457
ok so basically what happened is i made a post asking for more examples but i worded it in an average bong way to say 'is there any more?' this is a normal request and youll hear it like very day at home, youd say to your mate 'got any more biccys?' i obviosuly know he has more biscuits but its just a way to probe an answer

anyways some autist from america took my post at face value and was like 'LMAO HE ACTUALLY THINKS THATS ALL THERE IS' and then after a second bong showed up and said youre fucking retarded

>>43012480
jesus christ, yes obviously you knew there was more connecting words and that guy is autistic to take you at face value but stop shitting up the thread now you retard

>>43012480
Ya sounds about right. All I did was educate Brits that Americans don't use leading questions like that very often cuz it just makes you look like an uneducated retard

>>43012474

>>43012242
And if you were less autistic you'd realize I was making fun of you because your supposed "incitation" of "discussion" was just you fucking wanking yourself and not actually productive at all. Trolling outside of /b/ is against the rules, you should delete your posts.

how?

just realize you're all autistic and let this die

>>43012598
after reading the thread it just seems like a beginner anon asked a simple question and then just got absolutely shat on by autists, which is what happens every time lol no wonder this place is dying, yknow you can actually help people right? not just say 'just immerse more' and posting waifus

>>43012610

>>43012638
>If you have an actual question
huh? i was commentating on the situation you braindead cunt and im not a fucking bong

>Transitive verbs
>Intransitive verbs
>Other such classifications
Such words are meaningless to me. I was too dumb to learn their meanings when studying my native language and english, and I'm sure as hell too dumb to learn, remember, and correctly use them in nip.
... I might just be fucked.

if your question can be solved with a five second google search it is a stupid question and you deserve to be shit on

Simply the nuances of the English language. Read more ESLkeks.

>>43012653
any question here can be googled whats your point? this is an open forum to discuss the language not to reply 'lmao go google'

>>43012655
yeah im fairly certain >>43012227
is ESL lol, how tf did he come to the conclusion that the bong implied that that was every single connecting point?

"lmao go google" is a valid response to 99% of the dumbass questions.

if you dont look for an answer first don't get upset when people hurt your feefees

i tried one sample N1 聴解 video and it was easy as fuck
and then i tried another one, allegedly also N1 and it dumped like 7 vocab essential to understanding the context in one sentence every time and i couldn't get more than 50% right

is there a source with actual real tests?

>>43012677

transitive: does to an object
>set< the glass on the table
intransitive: does by oneself

The Japanese terms make this pretty clear 他(た=other)動詞、自(じ=self)動詞.

Though in English often the same verb is used for both.
