My friend got to n3 with Duolingo alone. Why is it so hated on here?

>>43318091
Because they don't want to learn Japanese.

>>43318666
depends how many mature cards you have and how difficult they are.
if they are all N5 words like ペン then its pretty fucking bad. if they are all like 鉄礬柘榴石 then its pretty good.

retention fluctuates like a mf dont worry

>>43317351
>hotondo WHAT
I think he's trying to say "英語っていうのはほとんどすべての人に通じると思うの。"

nyaa for new stuff
raredoramas for old stuff

one of the things that upsets me the most about human nature is that no matter how strongly they may feel about something or someone, they're quick to change their opinion to follow their close peers
also d-addicts is a good site for that kind of stuff but i don't watch too many dramas

>>43318821

Is there a Japanese slang equivalent for the term 'simp'?

How do I improve my learning speed?
Im a few months in now, and while I can understand basic sentences and watch simple shows without pausing too much I still have to look up words or grammar all the time and im not good at comprehending japanese either.
Any tips for a beginner to speed things up a little bit?
Especially in the vocab department my retention rate is starting to fall off somewhat and with it my progressing speed

How do I deal with words that have the same kana but different kanji and meanings?
I find them very hard

>>43319149
read more

>>43319149
you never confuse present (adjective) with present (noun)
same deal, just input more and your brain takes care of it

大方

たいほう

>>43319149
Take the context of the sentence into consideration and try to see which word in your dictionary best matches the phrase and surrounding particles/words. Words that are written in kana are normally very common and will almost never be written in an ambiguous way, (except for puns).
I can help you work through any sentences if you're having trouble with anything in particular.

as for me 6/6

I have a mild interest in comprehending what's happening in untranslated hentai and other doujins.
Is it actually worth learning basic japanese (Assuming nothing but THE most common kanji) for those purposes, or would it be more or less a waste of time?
I did take a mandarin class and was okay at it, so it's not like i'm unused to weird grammar structure and a steep learning curve, but I'm also lazy as shitballs and would want to put in as little effort as possible, basically just keeping it to the most rudimentary level of understanding.

about everything after the 2k deck, I could understand Ritsuko calling Misato about shinji for example but Ritsuko talking in the scene earlier I didnt grasp it at all
Then next scene when they were talking about the porkupines dillema I stopped watching because it was useless and went back to SOL and youtube as immersion

>>43320039
EVA is a fairly slow paced show at times, so it was probably not the best choice you know.

>>43320039
Why are you skipping the parts you don't understand? Sit down and figure them out.

>>43320039
You're watching an anime meant for high school student audience without having the vocabulary of a japanese high schooler. Try again after you finish 10k.

>>43320050
terrible advice

death note was pretty good tbdesu

>>43320074
It's great advice. EVA's a piece of cake to understand and at his level he should be having no trouble with it.

netflix version is better

if you can withstand it, you could probably go down to 75%, or even 70% if you're certifiably autistic. or if it's too mentally draining, you could go as high as 90%, but around that point reviews will start taking too much time relatively to the number of new cards per day

If this helps anybody, I’ve created a learning game that mixes Anki with Tetris. It uses the spaced repetition system that Anki uses for their cards, and also plays in such a way that helps the player memorize words by not just reading them but forming them as well. The complete version will be released on Steam very soon. In the Steam version you will be able to upload your own custom CSV files that can be made from Anki decks. I want to have opinions of what people think of it. I really hope this can help people get better in their studies. It was especially designed to learn Japanese(as a Japanese learner myself) and is actually shown to be effective.

You can check and example of the gameplay here.
https://youtu.be/_DZYOTXyXLI
The demo is this one.
https://migairu.itch.io/wordpile

>>43320314
>and is actually shown to be effective
proofs sir

looks pointless

>>43320314
It seems a little redundant with Anki to me, but great work nonetheless.

>>43320314
cool game but i don't see how this can aid in learning

>>43320314
add some anime girls in there and they will change their mind, maybe some fat baba too for a certain schizo

>>43320314
the only person it helps is you
but you already knew that

>>43320332
>Spacing repetition
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5476736/
>Word learning
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846319/

The game works like Tetris in the way you can form words from the definition, but this is how it is designed.

First it uses a high number to light up the engine in the spaced repetition. For example, you start in 1 gameplay with the words you need to form. Then game over happens. The system then uses the spaced repetition to show the frequency that a word should appear.

At the same time, you are also not only reading a word, but actually forming it. It forces your brain to work how a fluent person sees words, organizing them in their mind to form a word.

Also, if you are able to remember past words that you learned, and see that a row could be in the correct order. If you use the letters of a new word to form a past word like in tetris the word disappears. It makes you remember the words as well in that way.

Anyone have that video of the gaijins who were born in Japan at a restaurant with their Japanese-American friend who doesn't speak Japanese? Looking specifically for the image where he says something along the lines of "Japanese is my native tongue" with a poggers face.

wouldn't a better game be some sort of scrabble type thing that mixes in other moji with the correct ones

or playing a normal game in japanese

just be better lol

LEGAL HIGH is a really funny lawyer show, has the lawyer sue an idol for lying about her virginity as the opening to season 2

When I arrived at Tokyo train station, some very old and weak looking man with a cane approached me, a gaijin out of the whole crowd. He asked me if I speak English and showed me some note that said "blah blah blah please sponsor me money". I told him I don't have any and walked away.

Anime/manga/japTV helps a lot because you're learning from context instead of attempting to memorize dry lines over and over.

1) Manga. (this is valid for ero manga as well,maybe even more so since they're fairly simplistic). Translate line by line by yourself and pull out all the kanji used and add to your deck. Try to reread the same things over and over so you absorb it better.

2) Anime. Might be overwhelming at first but use the loopAtoB option in your media player to loop over a segment (usually a scene or a dialogue section) over and over until you understand every line as it is spoken. Then move to the next scene. There's a lot of 80s/early90s proto-sol anime that are very light on complexity and just through the same stock situations. Again, pull all weird phrases out and memorize unfamiliar words

3) Jap TV. This is kind of the final step out of the three since you can again loop AtoB to try to absorb by repetition, but unlike animated characters people tend to slur more and speak faster. Repeat clips, interviews, tv shows, movies. If you like certain ones play them on a loop until you absorb fully.

I recommend Kamen Rider Black and Black RX. You can find all episodes on YouTube with Portuguese subs. There is also Indonesian sub playlists for Black RX, 1966 Ultraman, some animes and a lot more probably. Assuming you don’t understand Portuguese and/or Indonesian these could be useful for immersion.

Is there ANY live action JP show that doesn't over exaggerate in their acting? Am I just confined to finding decent jp movies? Almost any tv show I find just drains me of wanting to keep watching after the first few moments or first episode. Samurai Gourmet was the last thing I could watch more than a few episodes. It's a similar situation with anime, I just watch older stuff because I can't stand moe or isekai.

I actually use duolingo japanese and I'll tell you why. It barely explains anything. For a natural autodidact it's fine, but frankly "it's fine for a language sperg" isn't a very high bar.
There are a few irritatingly loose translations. Occasionally you'll have to just infer that a given word or term is an acronym or a derivative of a previous word or character and the mnemonic isn't just given to you. They introduce vocabulary in the hiragana/katakana portions that won't appear until like unit 25 of the lessons. The vocabulary they give you early is sometimes questionable, following a philosophy of "if it's weird you'll have to pay attention/ it will stand out."
If you're using mobile you can bullshit your way through lessons. In the kanji matching exercises they read them aloud to you and you can go by processes of elimination, so you only need to read hiragana and katakana. I'm one third of the way through the entire course and I can read maybe a few hundred kanji, and I definitely can't write most of them. They feed you words like puzzle pieces in the translation/sentence exercises, so you can just fit them together like puzzle pieces. You can even display them all in romanji if you really want to cheat. I have to physically cover the bottom of my screen, close my eyes, and force myself to think through and speak each sentence aloud.
It does what it does very well, but it's too easy to bullshit your way through it. They recommend you use a notebook and physically write down your vocabulary words and sentences, but I imagine most people don't.
Also, the AI voices don't really sound much like spoken Japanese depending on which character is speaking. Some just sound uncanny.
You see this? I didn't need to know sentence structure. I didn't even need a Jap keyboard. They give you puzzle pieces. This is unit 25 of 90.

It's good for giving you an incremental framework for learning where you get sentences fed to you and hear them vocalized and so on, but you definitely need to be studying on the side as well.

A good option they have is to just keep cycling through the same lesson repeatedly, because that helps retention.

But yeah, all that stuff you said is definitely true.

Additionally, the Japanese course outright is not given the same kind of love that the more popular languages (i. e.Spanish and French) and their accompanying courses get.
If you were to mess up a particle or an issue of gender in Duolingo Spanish or French, really any mainstream Romance language, they would immediately explain your mistake in a streamlined and sometimes interactive format. I have yet to see this with Japanese. Even the physical layout of the course is worse in the sense that they don't do the whole particle-noun building block thing that I've seen with Spanish and French. They even use fewer pictures. Usually it's just Lily or Vikram with a speech bubble. Also, their mouths don't move, which again, is something that happens with courses that get more love.
And that's just my criticisms of the Japanese course specifically. A lot of people just straight-up hate the new skill tree layout.

>>43327026
You absolutely need self-accountability and outside study for this to work. As a means of getting your toes wet, it's solid.
Also a very reassuring thing to me is the realization that Japanese people can't read kanji either.

it still shows the time and stuff on the display but there's a lithium battery inside for that according to the manual, so i hope im good

Do Japanese people with synesthesia assign colors to 2000 separate kanji?

words i've learned today:

大立ち回り
伝声管
葉巻
夕焼け

words i'll remember tomorrow:

You’re the ultimate dekinai, the strongest NGMI. I’m impressed at the lengths people will go just to avoid learning through native material. It’s like people are allergic to learning through anything outside of a textbook or looking something up themselves.

yes, it helps me remember and I just have an affinity to write stuff in general. Yes, I also have a diary.

I started using Duo last year and 1 week away from a 365 streak. After reaching it, I'm quitting Duo. I mostly wanted to challenge myself to see if I could make it a year and mark how many days I've been self-studying. Would definitely never pay for it though.

I got some JP rice that "doesn't need to be washed." I still slightly wash it, but I have an older basic npc cooker. Need to find a decent brand to scope out

>>43327899
too difficult

>>43328013
the washing just takes more of the starch out which gives you a smoother grain of rice after cooking

I think the small cheap cookers are fine

how gmi am i if my only constant interfacing with reading is twitter posts

the import thing isnt what, its how much

would rather jump off a bridge than eat rice

I am currently close to N4 level. I took a language course 2-3 years ago for a while but I haven't progressed my japanese since then. Now I dropped out of college, so I have lots of time. My plan is to study the language for approximately 4 hour per day. I know that learning takes time, and mass learning almost always fail. But I don't think that 3 month is still a less time, if you carefully structure your program you should be able to memorize and have a grasp the language. In my opinion, language learning can be made faster by focusing on memorizing vocabulary, learning grammar and exposure to the content. I despise textbook exercises and don't think they are valuable compared to amount spent to them.

"Essential Vocabulary for the JLPT " book series , which I really liked. Unlike the other books ( nihongo sou matome etc.) it gives only the suitable kanjis for its level, and all other words are in hiragana. One of the worst thing when learning japanese was to struggle memorizing words if the words are given in harder kanjis.

2) I have been making a memrise course of these books ( I am not going to share this memrise course of course, so as not to infringe the rights of publishers/authors.) And I will learn 100 words per day by memrise course. It will take approximately 50 minute according to my calculations. There are also review cards from the past days. I currently think that if the learning part takes much time than 50 minute, I will just use speed review mode to lessen the time I use the app. So my plan is to finish 100 words, and review all the words from the past days only in 1-1.30 hour. I also muted sounds so as to review more flashcards per second without waiting for sound.

3) I bought some courses, and there are also some good courses on youtube. I am going to watch these courses on x2 speed. It is mostly intelligeble at that speed. For a time I thought that if watching in x3 could be good or not, but I think x3 is so fast to understand the content. For only 1.30 hour, I am going to watch 3 hours of content. Courses take apprx. 30 hours in total if I only study grammar. They will be finished in 10 days. After I finish these courses I am going to either started to read grammar books, and after a time maybe re-watch the course to memorize the grammar points. I plan to watch n1 level grammar before learning respective words in that level. Even if I don't understand I'm going to review it in remaining days over and over.

4) I also have mock exam books. There are currently approximately 1000 question on each level for me to be solved. (minimum 5000 questions for all levels combined) One of the books is "500 practice question for jlpt book", which also includes answers. The rest of the questions don't have answers but I don't think it is a big problem. I am going to solve 50 questions per day. If I solve one question in 1minute, it will take 50 minutes per day. That is more than I need. I won't look up to a dictionary to solve the questions. If I don't understand one of the questions, I will just pass that one and return back when I learn the words or grammar.

5) I also have three grammar books and I am going to read them from start to finish. ( at least I plan to read two of them) after finishing to watch all the video courses.

At first I thought that learning from shinkanzen master or sou matome would be great, but I don't think any good reason to do that. I will just solve the exam problems instead. These textbooks give 20-30 words, but there are only 6 questions per chapter. So it is no different then bunch of word list and a few questions. Only reading comprehension books would be useful, but still I am going to solve the exam questions instead so as to get exposured to the language.

I will not study kanji seperately. I am going to make different memrise course to relate kanji with hiraganas. I'm going to first learn hiragana words, and then I am going to relate that word with its kanji representation in a different course.

Even if I don't succed in accomplishing my mission only in 100 days. My plan is to learn 10.000 words and 2000 kanjis + all grammar points within a maximum of 6 months. If I study only 2 hours per day, it is possible.

I mean, i understand lying when bragging about your level of japanese, you want to show you have the biggest virtual dick.

But why lie when giving out advice, do you actively want to see people fail ? does THAT make you hard ? fucking fag

posting in djt is the dekinai filter

seriously though is it just in my head or is it being used like 100x more frequently than it used to be? talking about by streamers in particular, idk about elsewhere

i havent noticed it coming up more but havent really been paying attention
only non weeb content i consoom is news tho

I honestly think people like you are the reason no one ever graduates from reading Yutsubato. You’re so convinced that someone won’t be able to grasp the language in a show like EVA that you think it’s actually harming them if they even try.

1) He could have got to N3 in 1 tenth of the time it took him on duolingo.
2) It would have cost nothing
3) N3 is the absolute farthest you can go with duolingo - and N3 is useless.

People hate it because it's an absolute scam.

Yes. 80-90 is where you should be.

yeah 80-90 iq that is

>>43328600
To be frank you will likely fail, even if you manage to cram the information into your head as it's written in a dictionary or textbook it takes time to make all the connections between words and grammar that are simply not written anywhere. It's not impossible and considering it's just multiple choice you may pass the test but it won't be indicative of actual proficiency. That said you'll probably create a good foundation for future learning regardless of the outcome so glhf.

>>43330815
I understood a gochiusa movie raw but I bet I would fail n1

outputted today now gonna anki and read

>>43331378
How'd you output?

>>43331415
i was at kinokuniya looking for a book and the girl at the register called the tenchou over to search for it and when she arrived she suddenly asked me what i was looking for in japanese
i then told my circle on the jp blue archive server what happened in japanese
didn’t expect to have to speak japanese today but i’m glad it happened

>>43331461
So what, you whipped out your phone and just left her hanging?

>>43331461

Yeah but was she ogenki or what?

Don't tell me you didn't ask her.

Oh kamisama, he didn't ask her.

>>43331488
no i told her what i was looking for and went home to tell my circle

>>43331505
So you said one word to her and walked away?

she let me know they didn’t have it in stock and i thanked her for helping me

am i misunderstanding something or are there words that are homophones of conjugated forms, as in 解く (potential form) and 解ける

>>43331552

>said arigato gozaimas and left

ngmi

>>43331602
in that case you would say arigatou gozaimashita actually
why does djt seem so bothered that i spoke to a japanese person there's a lot of them around here

>>43331599
No, they're the same word. Some potential forms get their own dictionary entry when the potential form in Japanese would become an intransitive verb in English.

>>43331675
well that's really annoying

dont think why feel why

>>43331675
I have a bad habit of just brainlessly adding words like this.

>>43331684
>>43331704
Well, to be fair, these verb redundancies evolved to become verbs in and of themselves for conjugation purposes, so the redundancies are important for the dictionary to list and for you to be aware of when using them yourselves.

i still can't get off to reading ero lns and have to supplement with manga its over i can't make it

i have a 寝起き voice fetish

got some examples

What's the realistic number of memorized kanji for making it?

>>43331834
At least 2000, but realistically more. But honestly don't obsess over metrics like that and just fucking read. N1 btw

>>43331834
about 3.5k (confirmed with multiple people who made it)

>>43331834
10% so 80-90k

>>43331854
shouldve confirmed with me

has anyone ever asked a question about japanese that wasn't retarded?

i have never asked a question about japanese so no

>>43331834
kanken j1k so around 3.5k

im no punk bitch

even 1k isnt making it, j1k is chuugaku level

>>43331961
>kanken j1k

Well I know at least one

where are all these tryhard losers coming from

Do japanese kids really know the kanji for "archery glove"?

do you not?

>>43330681
I was at 74% at 22 new a day then I didn't mine for a while so I went to 44 a day and I still stayed at 74%. Guess it's alright

>do you not?
mae ni

>>43331995
I know more than 10 just at a glance but the ones I identified are basically used in one or two specific words and nowhere else, so it's kinda silly to study them as individual kanji

e.g.
儡: 傀儡
儚: 儚い
劈: 劈く、劈頭

it's kinda silly to study individual kanji in general

"""studying""" kanji before youve acquired japanese is silly

>>43332036
there's nothing wrong with that sentence esl

>>43332065
yeah i think that discovering new rare kanji is something you reserve for the end kind of like bonus levels
