/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I made a post about this last thread, but it was towards the very end:

I am working on a big project, and I need some good translators to check my work. It's been Machine Translated, and I bet it's going to look awful to anyone who is fluid with the language. Where would I find somebody who is interested in helping me pro-bono, ie students or people interested in gaming?
If need be, I can just release it as is and hope most of my audience just understand English well enough, but that's obviously not the ideal solution

>>44277480
Fuck off nobody wants to work for free on your shitty game

>>44277553
It's not a game actually, it's a chart.
I also looked into prices for actual translators(that do it for a living) and even attempting to pay someone would ruin me. Fuck that, people can google translate what I wrote for those prices.

What I did was write a 1-2 sentence summary of every game on my chart and then put whatever I wrote in ENG into DeepL. Problem is that there is over 300 entries, so that quickly added up, plus there is the wordy introduction as to what the fuck this chart is at the start.

Again, worst comes to worst I will just release it as is, but considering that a lot of Japanese will see it, it would be ideal for the grammar and text to be as good as they can be. Entries are nice and short, but their number can be a bit staggering for one person. That's why I mentioned a community, so that a few people could take a look and tell me right away if the machine spouted a bunch of useless garbage or not.

Wtf bros my retention gets better if I actually do anki daily instead of once every 2-3 days???
I'm still kinda slow as shit but it's wild that I missed half the cards I normally do, and those were the problem cards anyways
It's obvious that that's how srs works but I didn't think the improvement would be this noticeable lol

>>44277578
>but considering that a lot of Japanese will see it
Why would a lot of Japanese people see a random list some guy uploaded about 300 different games?

>>44277637
Simple, social media and actually interacting with them.
Rather ironically, my Japanese itself is rather non-existent. Due to poor communications with the guy who was supposed to be doing the heavy lifting on Graphic Design, I was forced to do more than I was supposed to, and that left little time to brush up on my Japanese(which with the time this project is taking, I definitely could have done well if I was given a heads up he would be unavailable for as long as he was. That was the plan, anyways).
As is, it's being pushed out the door, so Machine Translation is the best I can do at this timeframe. Unfortunate, hoping I can at least get some pointers if what I have is even usable or if text should just be in English for the time being.

Herbburn has ruined countless generations of nihongo learners.

This is a bad idea actually, your memory is about 10% more efficient when you're standing. Our brains associate sitting with resting, so then they don't put as much power into thinking since they assume it's not necessary.

standing desk bros, we won

finally we figured out the secret to learning japanese... it was so simple all along...

don't worry bro, just use gpt4. it's better than the average human translator of Japanese

Question to experienced VN readers.

When you reach a reading speed that is good enough to keep up with the pace of the vocals, do you think you should keep reading the lines?

I ask this because I recently realized that my reading speed now allows me to follow what the characters are saying, but reading their lines at the same time feels like "cheating", like watching anime/drama with the subtitles. It feels less like reading, but more like confirming visually what the characters are saying.

My problem might be that my listening got fairly worse than my reading. So maybe just listening the line, then reading it in case I didn't understand it, might be a good idea? Do any of you had a similar experience?

>>44278179
Just do whatever bro. It doesn't matter as long as you keep going.

>>44278179
watch raw anime to make up for it

i read faster than the voiced lines so i often skip them

What's the best OCR on windows? KanjiTomo and Capture2Text work pretty bad for manga and they look like they was not updated for 10 years. We already have AI stuff that should recognize even some obscure hand drawn kanji but I can't find anything nearly good.

>>44278179
you should do it however you enjoy it the most. obviously, avoiding the text will shift some of the gains from reading to listening, but it will also slow you down a bit if your reading is better than your listening.
>>44278217
yeah that's what I said

>>44278225
Nice, thanks. Are there AI translators that monitor clipboard for translating entire sentences?

Why are you learning Japanese?

You’d be surprised how many people decide to do something as big as learning Japanese without knowing the answer to this question. I bet you 90% of people who start studying have no idea why they’re doing it (which… ahem… happens to be the same percentage of people who end up quitting, might I add). Now, when I say these people “don’t know why they’re learning Japanese” I’m also not counting generalities. Answers like “because it’s fun” and “because it’s cool” are okay for a little while, but they won’t hold out when the going gets tough. I’m looking for a specific answer…

>use google translate to translate japanese into english
>it uses english words i dont understand
wtf is a "fait accompli"?

>Finally managed to memorize all kana after deciding to learn japanese again(I gave up once years ago)

Noob here, I started learning hiragana on my own last week and I'm slowing starting the recognize the characters when I see random japanese tweets here and there. My question is how do you know in a japanese sentence when one word ends and the next begins? There doesn't seem to be spaces. I'm sure this something I 'd eventually learn myself if I continue but I'm curious about it enough that I feel like asking ahead of time.

How is he using 曲者 here? Just to mean "peculiar?" I feel like the community in Japan is quite on the up and up but maybe that's just my perception as an outsider. It's true though that gaming in general is quite unconventional to the typical office clerk world. Or I guess it could also be because it's people like なない who helped make it that way.

It's actually even easier in Japanese because of kanji. When you read through Yotsuba and start to get used to it you find that the bubbles with only hiragana are the hardest to read.

>>44282150
kanji is a crutch you don't have during a spoken conversation

I recently learned how to write and say all hiragana characters but now I wonder what I should learn next. Katakana or the Dakuon for Hiragana?

Not sure if this is appropriate for this thread, but I don't really know where to ask. If you had to translate もうおやすみ as a standalone phrase, how would you do so without it coming off as awkward?

I checked both the fan TL and official TL of pic related, but neither seems to fit for my purposes. (That being a fan comic that uses the phrase in a different situation). If needed, I could also source the page I'm thinking of.

>>44284008
That means you should take some time to focus on integrating the words you already know more completely. Take a step back, let your brain really soak in the language you've already acquired, and then come back to learning new material when it's coming more naturally. When I've hit roadblocks in the past, I had to sit down and let my mind process the grammar and vocabulary I had already been trying to crowbar into it. Once I let it simmer for a few days, revising and reviewing in mornings and evenings, the new stuff suddenly began to feel simple, sometimes even natural, because it had a broader framework to slot into.

today was a good VN immersion day, many of the new stuff nailed, i feel like my brain is reaching new limits

because while learning it, you necessarily accumulate some know-how and resources, and some people just enjoy sharing that with others. (except for tats***** who's a paid shill for Japanese ultranationalists who don't want foreigners learning their language)

go wild on dlsite until i die from cumming induced dehydration

if you're not doing immersion you're not learning. Anki is used for reviewing

crazy how flashtards havent learned jack shit from seeing majinai idiot stumbling

>>44288921
Was that really a flash card problem or an "I don't know what kind of word it is so I'm just gonna guess it's a negative verb" problem?

he didnt have a card for it

what would have been worse, queef saying he doesnt know majinai or him coping he doesnt have an idiot card for it like he said with kachite

>>44288951
But isn't that a problem with him not just looking up a word he didn't know?

曲 of today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGgnJ0XKGN4

why is it even necessary to review cards if you immerse? you would see a word often during immersion if it is a common enough word. and if it's not common, you just need good memory to remember it.

>why is it even necessary to review cards
is it?

I simply just like doing anki in the morning and reading in the afternoon. But you're right I wouldn't say anki is entirely required.

>>44289006
dab on cringoids

>>44288988
I think the problem is that there's a lot of vocabulary that isn't necessarily common, but is very useful to know, depending on what you're doing. By taking it down and committing it to memory, you have a much better shot at remembering it in the future, then if you just forgot it outright.
tl;dr uncommon words aren't worth forgetting

>>44289024
lol esl

>>44289042
How dare you! Those were native level mistakes.

>>44289042
Are people supposed to get offended by that term?

>>44289074
lol esl

esls ngmi

i think esls are more likely to make it since native english speakers have lower IQ on average

>>44289107
Don't forget though that ESLs tend to have a harder time with English, and thus fail to understand any of the explanations online.

you should know at least three languages by the age of 20 if you want to make it. by then your neuroplasticity is done. if you've taught yourself how to learn new languages you can keep learning, but if you never learned anything you're now fucked

>>44289074
yea getting caught as one is a big blow to your credibility, nobody wants to listen to a retard who still hasnt reached a decent eigo level after more than 10k hours of immersion

>>44289147
>by then your neuroplasticity is done
stop believing in spooks

language learning ability is verbal iq and it is fixed from birth

language learning ability correlates with semen retention, the longer you go between fap sessions the better you can learn japanese

language learning ability is a factor of educational upbringing and environment

That's true and esls probably have the lowest level reading comprehension, due to their being esl.

Anons, did you know Duolingo JP now has a kanji section? It has ~500 kanji, and more to unlock later. There are of course issues with it.
Just letting you know you could try it.

can the djt psychologists explain this to me
why does vocabulary have the highest correlation with g? can't you just learn more words to increase your iq?

>>44289452
You see, the joke is that, though she think otherwise, the answer she enters isn't correct according to the standards of Duolingo. You see, Duolingo requires certain words being used or accounted for in its translation tests. In this case, その was required to account for the definite article in the translation. While her statement was technically correct, it did not use all of the relevant words provided to her.
The editing is also an attempt to make the moment more memorable, but it's obvious that she herself has no interesting qualities.

>>44289587
But why did you do that?

>>44289536
>その was required to account for the definite article in the translation.
You don't know what a definite article is. Japanese doesn't have articles. And English only has one definite article: "the"

"the" rtk

>>44289637
You don't have very good reading comprehension.

>>44289650
How so? There was no definite article anywhere except for in "the sea".
The sentence said "That octopus returned to the sea" and the その means "that", which is not an article.

>>44289678
kek retard

>>44288825
you learn words outside Anki too. I know 2x more words than I have cards
>>44288939
it wasn't a problem at all. language knowledge is mostly probabilistic until an advanced level where the probability of you getting most things wrong is so small that in practice it's 0%. but technically it's just guesses all the time, so even if your reliability for easy stuff is 99.9%, you're still bound to make a stupid mistake for 1 out of every 1000 words, which means they're guaranteed every reading session. the people who claim they never made dumb mistakes are EOPs.

Yes. Duolingo wants to be accessible to more people, even children. And the sentence itself is correct.

dame they test writing I might actually find this useful

https://axtongue.com/watch?v=wzNcKs8jJyc

new ways to get crippled lmao

>>44289747
yes, that's the only thing they test. but they usually use only one or two words for every kanji. would be better if there was more variety of words using kanji already learnt.
they even have such words. You can see them if you tap on the character itself.

shut the fuck up

>stop talking about something other than vtubers

i got crippled by watching vtubers, they all talk like retards so now when I open my mouth people think i'm retarded

What are doing japanese reps for if you're watching english vtubers?

Not who you are asking but reading Japanese is unrelated to what someone is watching on YouTube. People can do more than one thing in their life, you know.

>>44289468
>why does vocabulary have the highest correlation with g?
it just does in every factor analysis of intelligence tests, making it a useful proxy for *estimating* full-scale IQ.

>can't you just learn more words to increase your iq?
IQ tests with a verbal component sample only a few dozen words because they are built and statistically perfected to be incredibly efficient at maximizing rank discrimination through the smallest of changes in score, so you would have to expend tremendous effort to see improvements. if you artificially inflated your vocabulary through intense, deliberate study and then took a full IQ test, a psychologist would immediately notice your internal "ratios" conspicuously deviating from the meticulously calibrated standards since your vocabulary score would be significantly higher than expected given your performance on the rest of the test, on which you would do no better than you would have had you not studied. they would know you purposely do activities that specifically target vocabulary growth, and they wouldn't have to second guess that because they have, over several decades, extracted and verified extremely stable and robust correlations in virtually every randomized population sample between vocabulary scores on the test and both the total score on the test as well as scores on sub-tests corresponding to distinct, seemingly unrelated cognitive domains.

your full-scale IQ wouldn't be that much higher either since vocabulary alone only contributes a small part to the total score. quite awkward.

It was to my understanding that “o” is used when talking about an object of an action. Is want not considered an action in Japanese?
