I do 2 minutes of Duolingo a day and have done so for 245 days. Here's some stuff I know how to say
肉とごはんおたべたいほしい、だがにくわめちやたかいです
夜の空わとてもきれい、でも今わそらがくもりだ。
共和曇だ、だからつくとほしみるできない。
え、まじか？ほんとにはじめてみたい。

The kanji all save it for niku was auto correct so I can't claim that, but I am able to formulate some cool sentences even though I've only technically studied for like 10 hours total. It's because I watch tons of Vtubers and anime I guess

>>43895956

there's many more kanji that can mean countries.

I know where to get Japanese games and movies from, but where the fuck do I get book from for free? I'd like to read some Western authors in Japanese, the itazuraneko library is mostly some fucking shit 0/10 Amazon books

>>43896214
Have you considered getting the books physically? Of course it's much (infinitely) more expensive then getting them online for free, but I personally don't feel mugged for buying a copy and it's a good excuse to get away from screens.
As a bonus you get to see your Japanese book collection slowly grow as you read more.

I also hear ga used instead of ha sometimes but idk if it's the same (not wa? But it is ima wa, watashi wa, etc, right? Don't get it)

>> は
>Stringing verbs together or something
completely wrong. は sets the context of the conversation.
>> と、そ
>And
only と is and. you don't really see そ used as a particle.
>I also hear ga used instead of ha sometimes but idk if it's the same
definitely not the same. primarily, が sets the subject of the sentence. in that definition, there are times where が can be interchangeable with は and retain meaning, although one way can be more natural than the other. there are also 50 other usages of が that cannot be changed with は.
tl;dr reading is the only way.

>>43898045
Because it's a question put on /djt/, so it's obviously a trick question. さいしょ is the correct reading, but it wouldn't be put here if that was the answer.

So I'm really new to this shit and just finished memorizing all hiragana and katakana. I read the guide and I am not sure if I'm just retarded, but I didn't quite understand if I should next start learning kanji, vocabulary, grammar or all of them at the same time?

Also are all learning apps bad since none were mentioned in the guide? From research I've done elsewhere I've seen apps like renshuu or Bunpro and WaniKani recommended.

yes to all, except you learn kanji simply through learning vocabulary and not separately

>>43901137
all of the "japanese learning" apps are shit
anki and yomichan are useful tools, however they do not teach you japanese.
you should start doing the core deck, learning grammar, and reading yotubato or whatever pretty much simultaneously
do a bit of everything every day, important part is being consistent about it, and reading as much as possible

Have you ever mistaken these two kanji?

綿　線

>>43901137
forget about learning grammar by itself.
i learnt grammar through JMdict and yomichan.

omg stfu

>>43901217
i haven't mistaken any kanji for any other similar kanji while reading because they usually appear in context or within a word, so thinking it's the other one would make no sense
i do mistake two similar kanji fairly often while learning one of them, but seeing them side by side usually helps a lot with nailing them down
i know a bunch so its kind of inevitable

>>43901137
do grammar while flashcarding common words
then once you get the basics down, just start reading

>>43901227
just close the tab

>>43901137

>>43901217
I have mistaken 綿 for 線 but only in the past when I found it in words I didn't know yet. Doesn't happen anymore though. The only similar looking kanji I didnt quickly stop mixing up are 霧、靄、and 霞, probably because they're commonly used as single kanji nouns on top of being similar in meaning which can stop context from blocking out misreadings from your unconscious mind like it usually does. At least now I never mixup 霧 with the other two now though

>>43901296
Okay this explained it better than the linked guide did, thank you. I've got two years time to study before going to Japan as an exchange student so hopefully this is enough.

全て等しく価値がない

>>43901600
good for you, you're much smarter than everyone else so stop asking questions

>>43901600
when you learnt your first language, nobody was giving strange analogies with trains and whatnot to teach grammar.
you got input from your parents, and you built a mental model of the language on that input.
now you already know a language, we can use that language to accelerate the learning of a 2nd+ language. dictionary entries of grammar are good as they are generally terse. this allows you to build your own intuition of the grammar without wedging in retarded analogies.
when you are reading, it allows you to think less about the text and more about the content that the text is trying to convey. if you keep shitting yourself over the grammar, you might end up at one of those people agonizing over は vs が.

>>43901600

to be honest 2.3k vn order sucks. it is sorted very poorly.
for example, やる as in する and やる as in 餌をやる are grouped together even though the former is much more common. ofc many more cases like this.
also there's shit like 車椅子 in it but not the reading of 身体 as からだ?

>>43901660
I get that but I usually appreciate the structured approach of "here's the so and so form/tense/particle/whatever, here's what it does, here's how it's used, here's 10 pages of exercises to force yourself to get used to using it in various ways" that you typically get from textbooks, usually in some rough order of complexity or importance. Also I'm not sure what you mean by retarded analogies and trains, none of the language learning textbooks I've used in the past had any of those.

>>43901663

doing output in a textbook so early on when instead you could be reading real Japanese or gridning vocab recognition doesn't sound like a good use of time to me. but nobody here has any hard data on this, so just do whatever you enjoy as long as it involves real work with the language and not fucking around

>>43901742
>retarded analogies and trains
sorry that was just me shitting on cure dolly.
>structured approach
i don't think using energy to maintain a structure is a good way to learn a language. you should be reading what you want, and not actively doing activities to make you feel like 'yes i am learning' etc.
this is the pseudo 意識高い系 of language learning.
it is wasting your time, attention, and preventing you from reading more/getting good at the language.

>>43901748

I get that people here seem to favor hardcore immersion and learning through manga and VNs and shit but I feel like I would unironically have a better time grinding through traditional grammar exercises than booting up a VN only to immediately have to stop to go read about some new grammatical construct that I just saw for the first time in the middle of a run-on sentence that I couldn't understand at all. Is reading like that actually fun for you guys? I don't know if people are trying to speedrun reading the media that made them want to learn Japanese in the first place or if they just hate feeling like they're back in a classroom but I don't particularly want to ruin actually interesting media by reading it at a pace of 5 sentences per hour with a dictionary by my side.

But I'm not trying to change your mind anyway, if I still wanna go with some sort of traditional grammar guide is there anything particularly objectionable about Genki or can I just go with that? Or is there some roughly equivalent alternative that's just better?

just follow the /r/learnjapanese recommendations and stay there

>>43901873
>Is reading like that actually fun for you guys?
I just gaslit myself into understanding everything until I actually did

>>43901873
problem with doing it that way is that you don't want to remember grammar structures, and then reference them in your memory when reading text, those are two very separate areas of your brain, and there's only minimal benefit to doing that in the beginning
you can reference more in depth guides later on to get a deeper understanding of what you already know, but it just doesn't work the other way around, sorry
>booting up a VN only to immediately have to stop to go read about some new grammatical construct that I just saw for the first time in the middle of a run-on sentence that I couldn't understand at all.

can't blame you

>>43901873
>Is reading like that actually fun for you guys?
yes, the texts are actually interesting so I can read until I get exhausted, whereas with textbooks I always start uncontrollably yawning 5 minutes in because the texts are some boring shit nobody cares about, and the exercises often ask me to USE things i can't even properly RECOGNIZE in context yet, which is just plain retarded.
>I don't know if people are trying to speedrun reading the media that made them want to learn Japanese
no, I think most are trying to learn the language without getting bored to tears in the process. also, if they're learning in order to read some works, then it's only logical that reading similar but maybe easier works is likely a very good path to their goal.
>or if they just hate feeling like they're back in a classroom
a classroom can be fun because there are people with you, but unfortunately sitting with a textbook alone makes it feel much more like doing homework than being in a classroom.
>but I don't particularly want to ruin actually interesting media by reading it at a pace of 5 sentences per hour with a dictionary by my side
you'll only need a few vns or the equivalent before you reach a decent reading speed, and there is, at the very least, 100s of decent vns and lns out there. so even if you had to ruin a few, it wouldn't matter much. but I also don't even buy it that reading something slowly ruins it forever. anyway, just pick something that's enjoyable enough but isn't a masterpiece and you're good to go.

>>43901891
the kachite way

all that matters is that the content is compelling

>>43901898
>you don't want to remember grammar structures, and then reference them in your memory when reading text
I'd say that's what the grammar exercises are for, they force you to repeat shit enough times until you internalize the usage. I think it's like learning anything else really, repetitive drills are boring but probably helpful ultimately.

>>43902006
Maybe it's the autistic STEMcel in me but I have nothing against grinding out textbook exercises.

Also kinda unrelated but if I do wanna start rawdogging immersion what should I do about the core 2k deck I've been going through in Anki? I assume I'd want to start a new deck for new words I come across while reading shit but do I just drop the one I was using? Also is it normal if the deck I'm using has so far completely omitted words like "cat" and "dog" but has shown me like 20 different ways to say shit like "industrial production"?

if you want to be pigheaded about it then do whatever the fuck you want
textbooks and grammar drills will not help you, end of story.

as for the industrial production words that's fine as well, it may seem like fancy words, but they are very self explanatory and they familiarize you with common kanji, looking back you'll think these words are piss easy and wonder why you bitched so much about it
you can keep both decks after you're done with 2k, or add mined cards into 2k, or forego 2k completely and just mine, really doesn't matter
just get some words up in that noggin of yours
the guide is vague because other than what's written down nothing really matters all that much
honestly a more concise guide would be "just read more", but no matter the length no guide is ever explicit enough for turbo beginners with zero confidence
trust the process, listen to your elders, and read more, that's all there is to it
i ain't giving you any more advice, you already have way more than enough, just use it instead of questioning every single thing

bitch

>>43902113
you are building an fake mental model that may actively hamper comprehension

>>43902113
>I assume I'd want to start a new deck for new words I come across while reading shit but do I just drop the one I was using?
this is totally up to you, you can maintain it or drop it
note that once you start immersing you'll see the majority of those words all the time (they are common words for a reason) - so the benefits of maintaining will get lower and lower over time
>Also is it normal if the deck I'm using has so far completely omitted words like "cat" and "dog" but has shown me like 20 different ways to say shit like "industrial production"?
that's one big issue with core2k it's based on (older) newspapers so a lot of the later words will just be shit that's not really relevant to you
feel free to suspend those words - if they turn out to be relevant to you, you'll naturally see them again in your immersion and can just make a new card from there, with much better context to back it up

>>43902194
shit card, missing important context
叔父 means he is your dads/moms 弟

yes that's what an uncle is anon

Using Windows 11's built-in Japanese input, I'm having an issue I have never experienced before. I type a word out, hit the space bar to select the correct kanji, and only have very limited options. As an example, はなす can become only 話す and 離す. 放す is not available. やる can only be 遣る, no other options are available. What, exactly, is the issue?

>>43902284
yeah but there's also 伯父 which is your dads/moms 兄
in english uncle means both

>>43902286

>just do what you want

おはようございます

>>43902319
Thats a different specific usage of なる that doesn't really mean become (為 go from being A to now being B) but be realized or made actual (成) or to bear fruit, come into existence (実)

>>43902334
Yeah, a long time ago I used that one, I was even expecting it to say that phrase when I saw the card.
I also found it strange it takes a while to reach なる on 2/6k. Not sure where I can check at what card I am, but I should be around 200~300
>>43902371
I get it, I just find it weird to use that usage to teach a word, given I think it's used less often.

>unused kanji
you sure?

I've been autistically going through my deck and forgetting every card I didn't actually know but kept passing anyway
if you don't go through each word and study both the vocab and individual kanji, and just keep pushing cards as if didn't matter hoping your memory will just absorb it by osmose, you're not using Anki properly

>>43901581
Guides wouldn't propagate as memes if the content was simply "grab genki and get to work" because that doesn't have the allure of HIDDEN SECRETS that the ELITE don't want YOU to know. So they turned into cobbling together your own textbook from scrap found on the internet.

>>43903257
but the content is simply "grab core2.3k, cure dolly/tae kim and immersion material and get to work"

>>43903255
no shit, but sometimes i let words that know the reading of, but only have a vague understanding of the meaning, pass because real life context should help whenever i see it in the wild, and worst case, i can quickly look it up by typing it in since i know the reading.
simple as.

>>43903255
if you're not spending 95% of your time consuming japanese content you're not using anki properly

Just immerse for a few more months and you won't need the subs

>>43903307
moving goal posts, I'm not talking about immersion but how people use Anki and coredecks to start out with kanji
most guides do it and most people do just that immediately after learning the kanas, which is why I call it a beginner trap

>>43903299
that's reasonable, imo the reading is usually harder to get while meaning is much better to acquire by immersion itself

>>43903348
whenever i see the japanese discuss a recent anime ep on twitter they always have subs

its just nobody rips them

both wrong

gonna hop on those anki cards once again wish me luck

>>43903502
there is no point.
just read more.
you will learn more words reading than crucifying yourself with anki.

>>43903524
>you will learn more words reading than crucifying yourself with anki.
both ways are crucifying me

>>43903535
if what you're reading is boring, try picking something else up.
and even if you can't find anything else that is interesting (which is almost never the case), I'm sure it will be more interesting than anki.

subtitles really are a modern privilege, amazon, netflix, hdtv and bluray closed captions

Reccs for easy manga / VNs to read after Yotsuba?

Ok I think I've finally settled into a decent anki config
>V3 scheduler
>got the pass/fail addon
>look ahead limited to 10min
>starting ease factor of 2.00
>all modifiers 1x
>learning steps of 1m 30m 1d

logic behind that is that you get a free reign on repeat learning cards, so I aim to really grind that card until actually getting right the pronunciation
I think lapses cards are the same thing right, it just gets a -20% ease factor but you can repeat it as much as you want then

>learning cards before reviews
>new cards after reviews
So this way I go in fresh for cards I'm learning, and if I'm short on time I can just skip the new ones
also, its better to limit on the look ahead thing, meaning a time gap within the same day to trigger the brain to remember, given that we're talking about language vocabulary here

I think people misunderstand what Anki is supposed to do, they use it as a learning tool, when its a memorization tool
and like any other tool, you need to understand what i does to use it properly
I've also seen tons of comments on the low-key settings, and while I understand that, I think people need to figure out what works best for them
