The pinnacle of shonen has returned. This is what peak storytelling meet peak adaptation looks like, and I’m glad to be able to witness it. Attack On Titan will live on for generations as one of the best works of media ever made. Every new shonen since AoT's release has tried and failed to compete with the success that is Attack On Titan. no anime/show has come close to its impact in the medium for quite some time and now it's finally time to sit back and let the show take you on one final ride.

Can someone please explain to me how this Anki thing is supoosed to work?
I did everything the guide kn the OP said to do, but I'm still confused.
All it did it showed me a bunch of very easy simple number kanji, which I already know, and that's it?
It doesn't even ask me to type how they're supposed to be read?
It just reads them to me and that's it?
And it won't let me study more for some reason?
What exactly am I doing wrong I'm not sure.

How am I supposed to learn vocabulary like that?

>>43143473
you can change how much it lets you study in the settings
you read the front and compare what your answer is with what the back of the card is, which has the reading and meaning + whatever else
then in a couple days it'll ask you again to see if you remember
repeat until you're done

>>43143509
But it doesn't ask me about the answer.
It just reads it to me and asks how difficult I think it is.
Also, and I'm not sure about the front/back thing, all it shows me is the answer.

I'm using the mobile version if that matters.

chatgpt is a great way to practice japanese.

>>43143582
I usually ask my friend to confirm if my questions are accurate or not. I don't know if I'd recommend it to total newbies but it is really good at answering some obscure stuff

>>43143600
Well it's a language model. it works best as a language tool.
It makes a lot of mistakes when dealing with coding, math, finance and other shit but it thrives at languages.
I haven't observed any mistakes myself (as an intermediate), if there are mistakes, they are pretty rare and will be corrected in time anyway, so you don't have to be afraid.

>>43143625
I've spotted a few mistakes but they weren't too big of a deal. It's really good for explaining jp idioms and their origin.

>>43143561
It doesn't show you something like 一 on the front and then いち、one on the back?
in this case いち, one would be the answer, and 一 is the question

>>43143651
No, all it shows me is 一 with nothing else and below there's a 'show answer' button, and that's it.
Then it reads it to me and asks how difficult it was.

>>43143689
can you post a screenshot of the front and back of the card?

Video shilling some Japanese indie games, the narrator sounds extra cute and there are English subs if you need them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bhb1dpxncg

>>43143710
Pretty sure there's something wrong with it.

Maybe I'll try the desktop version later.

>>43143761
Okay so that's the front face. Now is the part where you try to remember the answer and then click show answer. If you were able to answer correctly then you click 'good'. If not, then study the answer and click the 'show again' button on the left and try to answer it correctly again when it pops up next.

The back face should have the reading and meaning on it. Does it?

>>43143761
give up (srs)

>>43143778
I don't know if this is the back face but it does show me this.

How am I supposed to answer though?
It doesn't give me any input to type the answer into.

>>43143804
you answer it in your head or say it out, dumbo

>>43143804
Yes. this is the back face. I don't really understand why you're having difficulties.

1. look at the front face and think the answer to yourself
2. flip it
3. if you thought to yourself "ひゃく - hundred" then you answered correctly and click the green button
4. if you didn't know or got it wrong then this is the part where you learn it. Read the back and click the read button.
5. repeat

I can differ っ and つ ezy pzy but how the fuck do I differ や and ゃ

>>43143811
well that's kinda lame

it should actually make you type the answer to check if you know or not, and then decide which ones to repeat based on how much you're struggling with it

>>43143830
doesnt even know a word of japanese and is already atop of mount stupid

>>43143830
>decide which ones to repeat based on how much you're struggling with it
if you answer correct on the same card multiple times in succession the card starts showing up once a week, then once a month and so on. This has to be bait

>this has got to be bait so let me bite it

>>43143830

Is it me or 2k/6k Anki deck has pretty bad progression? Some very common words don't pop up until you reach 2k+.

>>43144045

>>43145560
It's the state of the world. No one actually cares to learn Japanese apart from the few beginner phrases Genki gives you. Go sit someone down and just explain the grammar to them. Watch how their enthusiasm to watch anime without subs fades like a fart in the wind.

Does anybody know of a good japanese-japanese dictionary api?

I want to add 的 (てき) as a card via yomichan, but I already have 的 (まと) as a card so it won't let me. how do I make yomichan add both. yes I need both kanji varients

>>43146692
just add it as kana then edit it to have kanji on the front

>>43146692
To add both kanji variants of 的 as separate cards in Yomichan, you can use a feature called "card overrides." Here's how:

Open the Yomichan options page by clicking on the Yomichan icon in your browser toolbar and selecting "Options."

Click on the "Card Overrides" tab.

In the "Expression" field, enter 的 (てき), and in the "Reading" field, enter てき.

Click on the "Add Card Override" button to add the card override.

Repeat steps 3-4 for 的 (まと), entering まと as the reading.

Click on the "Save Changes" button to save your card overrides.

With these card overrides in place, Yomichan will treat 的 (てき) and 的 (まと) as separate cards, and you will be able to add both to your Yomichan flashcard deck.

>>43146692
Click the smaller button that's labeled as "add reading" then manually replace the hiragana with kanji, and add a hint to the front to differentiate the cards.

You can see the true nature of djt here. Anons are all experts at the use of yomichan, but they all suck at japanese.

>>43146702
true true

>>43146702
"Well, at least we have one thing going for us - our mastery of Yomichan! Who needs to be fluent in Japanese when you can look up any word in seconds? Just kidding, of course - let's keep striving to improve our language skills, one flashcard at a time!"

>>43146697
does chatgpt really know about this? wtf

Yeah because yomichan takes like 30 minutes to master. I'm better at making toast than Japanese too

>>43146697
there is no overrides tab lmao

>>43146721
Yes, I'm familiar with Yomichan! It is a popular browser extension that allows users to easily look up Japanese words and kanji on web pages by hovering over them with their mouse. Yomichan also supports the creation of flashcards and has various settings to customize its functionality.
>>43146725
It's understandable that some people may find Yomichan challenging to use at first, but with practice, it can become a valuable tool for language learning. Learning a new language is a gradual process that takes time, effort, and dedication, and it's important to have patience with ourselves as we make mistakes and improve our skills. Comparing language learning to making toast may be a humorous analogy, but it's important to remember that language learning is a valuable skill that can open up new opportunities and enrich our lives. Let's continue to support one another in our language learning journeys, no matter where we are on the path to mastery.
>>43146728
My apologies, it seems I made a mistake in my previous response. Thank you for letting me know!

i know a guy who can get me a hacked openai acc for $50 with gpt4 unlocked. worth it?

not a scam, i bought from him before

>>43146725
Thank you for clarifying the context of the comment. Comparing the difficulty of using Yomichan to making toast may suggest that learning Japanese is a more challenging and complex task. While it's true that learning a new language like Japanese requires dedication and hard work, it's important to remember that language learning can also be a fun and rewarding experience. Using tools like Yomichan can make the learning process easier and more efficient, allowing us to focus on enjoying the language and making progress towards our goals. Let's continue to support and encourage one another in our language learning journeys, no matter what tools we use or how long it takes to master them.

>>43146742
>i know a guy who can get me a hacked openai acc for $50 with gpt4 unlocked. worth it?
>
>not a scam, i bought from him before
I strongly advise against purchasing a hacked OpenAI account, as it is not only illegal and unethical, but it also puts your personal information and computer at risk of being compromised. Additionally, OpenAI has not yet released GPT-4, so any claims of unlocking it are highly dubious. It's important to use legitimate and legal means to access technology and services. Please be cautious and use good judgement when making decisions about purchasing such accounts.

>>43146769
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide advice or assistance in finding illegal or explicit content such as doujinshi. Engaging in such activities may be illegal and is not in line with ethical and moral values. It's important to be mindful of what content we consume and to respect the rights and privacy of others. Instead, I suggest focusing on legal and ethical ways to enjoy and learn more about Japanese culture and media.

How does that help when he specifically wants a duplicate card.

>>43146846
Because if he unchecks it, he can add the redundant cards he wants to add? Have you never checked the options before?

>>43146858
it's easier to add it as kana then change the front than to go all the way to settings, uncheck it, add one card, check it again

>>43146880
yes

>>43146880
Yeah because otherwise I'd make duplicate cards between when I mine something and start repping it.

>>43146875
Show me what's confusing you and I'll explain it. I'm sure it's not as hard as you think.

yomichan won't tell me what she's saying

>>43146972
It's the Japanese equivalent of the way we slam on our keyboards when we're angry (e.g. ASjfl;kjfalkjsa). It's typically used to show a internal screaming.

Are CD dramas good for learning Japanese ?

>>43147043
Yes, but only if you're at the level where you could theoretically make out and transcribe the dialogue, otherwise you're probably just missing most of it.

>>43146907
what the hell does 知らん mean then

>>43147060

All "Core" Anki decks are based on newspapers from early 90s and sometimes additionally sorted in a way that makes learning harder. The format of the cards also tends to be WCC instead of a more efficient TSC. Ankidrone Starter Pack is made from a COMPLETELY different corpus ー everyday words used commonly in Japan. You should use Ankidrone Starter Pack.

Today's update to AJT Japanese brings support for audio sources! If audio sources are enabled, audio files can be automatically added to Anki cards when new cards are created or modified.

By default the add-on comes with two audio sources, from the NHK 1998 and NHK 2016 accent dictionaries. Any user can create their own audio sources. Audio sources can be online or offline. Online audio sources fetch audio files from the internet, whilst offline audio sources are stored locally and ensure that audio files are added instantly in exchange to additional disk space.

To set up audio profiles and audio sources, install or update the add-on and go to "AJT" > "Japanese Options" > "Audio".

Amazing post

what happened today...

nobody whos gmi cares about a dekinai software

>>43148710
Araragi can't decide whether he should have phrased his response as いるとして or いたとしたら so there's some subtle nuance between them at least. Perhaps you already knew that and were asking what the nuance was. Not entirely sure myself. Perfect tense いる -> いた and continuative して vs conditional したら something like
>(I was speaking) assuming he does
>what if he did
But ultimately I feel an important enough point to use this many brain cycles on. Monogatari is some fun books, keep reading Anon.

I feel *like it's not
an important enough point

>t had his mental model of japanese permanently damaged by starting out reading dominant

reading dominant? i'm reading exclusive...

conversation is the essence of language

I'd argue that when you're getting something for free, regardless of ethics, it's gonna be hard to stick to it unless you have high discipline (which most people don't). When you however pay for the thing you're using, you feel more pressure to use that tool, which means there's a chance you're gonna come back to it at some point.

I personally paid 200 euros for lifetime wanikani in 2021, and stuck to it for around 7-8 months. Before that I used to use Anki decks, but never continued any of them. However i paid for wanikani, a lot of money, so after a year of having to deal with personal stuff, the pressure of having a lifetime wanikani made me go back to it. And now I'm sticking to it and I'm progressing pretty well, and enjoying it a lot.

In the end it's about the resources you have. Do you have 5-10 euros / dollars a month to contribute to something you want to do? If you're a student or living in a 3rd world country and don't have the resources, then yeah it'd be hard to pay for WK, but if you're a working adult with enough resources to pay for another subscription that is more productive than netflix or co, then you should probably pay for it.

I'm not Japanese, but I don't think this kind of dialogue requires a native to figure out. From what I can see, it's a scene a girl is teasing Araragi for believing there are rabbits on the moon.
>Come on, there are no rabbits on the moon. Araragi-kun, you don't actually believe in that stuff now that you're in high school, do you?
He shoots back a pretty definitive answer,
>Yeah, but assuming there are.
but inwardly, he still seems a little unsure in his choice of words.
>(Wait, "assuming there ARE"? "Assuming there WERE"? Something feels off...)
It's as if, in the heat of the moment, he didn't entirely think through his response. Does that make sense, anon?

>I'm not Japanese,

Is AI correct?

There are several Japanese textbooks that you can use to learn Japanese without using Anki. Here are some of the most popular ones:

1. Genki: The Genki series is one of the most highly recommended beginner textbooks for learning Japanese. It comes with two textbooks (Genki I and Genki II) as well as paired workbooks.

2. Minna no Nihongo: Minna no Nihongo is another popular beginner textbook that covers essential grammar, vocabulary, listening, and speaking.

3. Basic Kanji Book: Basic Kanji Book is a great resource for learning kanji (Japanese characters).

4. A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar: This dictionary is a great reference for learning Japanese grammar.

5. Tobira Gateway to Advanced Japanese: Tobira is a great intermediate textbook that covers more advanced grammar and vocabulary.

if you actually knew a good number youd know many of them are exclusively used for absolutely useless shit

is there a difference between verb + なきゃ and verb + なきゃだめ

>>43154292
And how do I do that?

>>43154399
なきゃ is short for なければ, which is incomplete on its own, but in almost all cases ~だめ or ~いけない is implied. Maybe you could find a case where this isn't true but I can't off the top of my head.

>>43154400
By reading and looking up what you don't know. Otherwise you're gonna think everything marked by は is the subject of the sentence and Mary-san just might be literally retarded.

>>43153790
there are plenty of free sites with access out there

How should an absolute beginner do this? I know nearly nothing about japanese

>>43154409
thank you

>>43154434
Step 1:
Learn to read kana
Step 2:
Download yomichan and add some dictionaries
step 3:
Look up the words and grammar you don't know with yomichan and google for a better explanation

Then end.

>>43154440
why is step 3 not capitalized

>>43154447
Because it's the only one I know that anon won't actually do.

we all know the real reason is cause uppercasers dont make it to step 3

>>43154461

>>43154440

>>43154497
You connect Yomichan to Anki and add the words you don't know. You can even make a field for pictures and audio examples, should you feel like it.

>>43154505

>>43155058
Please tell me there's another way.

will i get anywhere if i only do wanikani and try to read manga

>>43155699
No, unfortunately. An autist on the Wanikani forums finished Wanikani in a little over a year and proclaimed that he still had to look up every other word in his manga. It's a total scam. Never give Koichi your money.
Manga's great though.

>>43155699
Even 10k vocab won't help if you don't know basic grammar.

>>43155754
Finally, an anon that speaks the truth.

>>43155754
yeah ok ni points at stuff.. that's impossible to figure out

>>43155774
>ni points at stuff
This is your brain on Gay Kim.

>>43155774
>yeah ok ni points at stuff..
Yeah, and で is "by means of", for example, I speak by means of Japanese.
Tell me, anon, what's に "pointing" at in this sentence? 私みたいな目に逢う人は、減るかもしれへん

they fuck people up on purpose because there are multiple different にs with different etymology but the grammar people are just like "Yeah here's に, it points at things". Don't trust them

>>43156129
Everyone takes a reductionist approach to grammar, as if you can just use one English word or phrase to define a particle's function. Bunpro takes the cake when it comes to teaching them and people pay top dollar for it.

just read its free lol

と is "with," not "and."

>>43156303
It's actually "if," not "when."

>>43156303

>>43156303
>私は昨日、友達と映画を見に行って、そのあとで帰りに本屋とコンビニに寄りました。
>I went to see a movie with my friend yesterday, and then we stopped by a bookstore with a convenience store on the way home.
Make sense to me.

the biggest cope is that words have meaning

Ever since I stopped considering what Japanese words actually mean, the secrets of the language unlocked for me. It just clicks, ya know?
