Imagine spending years learning kanji and only then notice that Anki showed you Chinese font version instead of Japanese one. Like 滑 with square on the left instead on the right.
Glad I wasn't too into kanji and spent most of that time learning words, their meanings and how they sound instead of focusing on appearance

I'm sure the question has been asked a million times, but how can I be sure that I'm reading and understanding what's actually being said? There's been a few times I've misunderstood sentences I've read/heard. Can't remember any exactly off the top of my head but one time it was something like I didn't understand the nuance of a certain grammar point so using the direct english definition didn't help me
Also just because I don't know my place and overestimate my ability, can anybody tell me where to find raws for Rurouni Kenshin? I wanted to try reading something I'm really familiar with but it isn't on rawkuma, neither is Inuyasha

Ask ChatGPT or find Japanese people willing to help you. Or alternatively just stop care about getting something wrong. English is my second language and it happened so many times that I was certain that I understood certain words and sentences that I never looked up, but in the end it turned out that I got them completely wrong, and yet it didn't completely ruin my learning, and that "shock of being wrong the whole time" greatly helps you to never forget that sentence you've been wrong about for so long.

>>44371730

>>44371730

no such thing

passive immersion exists but it doesn't do anything
all it provides is an opportunity to actively immerse which is when you make gains

explain to be how you can be immersed but passively, when the immersed state implies being absorbed into the matter 100%

that's like getting drunk passively because people around you have a drink

>>44371889

>>44371908
just like a submarine can be fully immersed and surrounded by water but the water doesn't reach inside you can be surrounded by japanese language without any of it reaching the insides of your brain

what's her story

>>44371908
the original concept of "immersion" was to change your environment to simulate being a japanese child as much as possible. children are constantly exposed to the language but they aren't always 100% focused on it. so the whole ajatt thing was that you'd have japanese going on in the background when you're doing other shit and you can't focus on it. unfortunately retards diluted the term "immersion" to the point where it just means doing what every other advanced language learner (i.e. not terminal beginners who only take courses) had done already for decades.

i just e-mmersed one episode of anime bro

do you have to cut friends out of your life to do 100% immersion?

>>44372270
There is just one problem with this strategy: children begin to rapidly lose the ability to pick up languages after the first or so year of their lives. In fact after they hit their teens it's effectively gg for them, after that point they have to struggle like the rest of us. So basically immersion is a fundamentally retarded strategy for an adult and what you are actually doing is plain regular basic bitch language practice with a fancy name.

>>44372376
>children begin to rapidly lose the ability to pick up languages after the first or so year of their lives
lmao

why is "emerse" pronounced the same as "immerse"? english is so stupid. thats why everyone hates the english language

>>44372389
It's one of the very few things most linguists can agree on, anon. The first year of your life is spent on language acquisition, after that the brain gradually refocuses.

>science
lmao

>>44372412
there's no evidence that you actually "lose the ability" to pick up a language, you just stop focusing on it because guess what once you've internalized your mother tongue there's no need to spend all your resources on it anymore

dekinai reporting:
Why do people say writing and learning kanji is useless? I've been going through 2k just fine but I've reached a roadblock. I've been trying to figure out why I'm getting filtered by the same words over and over again and my conclusion is that I'm not actually memorizing that concrete form of the word but rather a vague general shape.
For example:
元気
空気
病気
I can get these relatively easily because of the uniqueness of the 気 element. Same for things that contain 電 or 分.
But now I'm getting into ones like 複雑, 経験, 経済 that just look like a mess of lines. There is no longer an easy distinct shape to recognize. Stumped, I reflected and realized that if I was told to write any of these, even the ones I can recognize instantly, I wouldn't be able to. If someone added an additional line or adjusted them slightly I wouldn't be able to tell. Everyone here can write G on a piece of paper and recognize the form of G, but for me with kanji it's like if someone wrote Ġ instead: with kanji I would think it was just G because I only pick up the vague shapes enough to make the association and move on, I don't actually have the comprehension that I do of the letter "G". So as they get more complex, the vague shape associations I have begin to blend together leading me to get the word completely wrong.
So why is handwriting/kanji often viewed as a waste of time? I've been thinking of making a seperate deck just for these complicated words and practicing stroke order just to get past this brick wall of never being able to memorize these.

pic related, these shitty fuckbox format kanji that have 4 things in them that all look the same and then one of those 4 things is made up of 4 more things

>>44372611
I bet you also can't spell every word you can read

i used to work with blind people, and man, you get these idiots that say that blind people don't need to learn braille, because after all, TTS software on computers and smartphones can read out everything nowadays.
these discussions about kanji feel the same way.
dekinai idiots who will never make it telling you what you should and shouldn't do lol.
you should learn to write kanji if you want to live in japan, or else good luck ever mailing a letter, writing your address, hand-writing your resume, or taking quick notes during a business meeting

>>44372611
>and my conclusion is that I'm not actually memorizing that concrete form of the word but rather a vague general shape.
your conclusion is wrong
>複雑, 経験, 経済
you're not going to confuse these in context

>>44372589

>>44372651
>good luck ever mailing a letter, writing your address
that is a use case with an extremely limited amount of characters to learn lol
of course you should know how to write your name and adress but come on that's going to take you like 30 minutes of practice at most
>hand-writing your resume
i wouldn't want to work at a company that still forces you to handwrite your shit because it's probably going to be full of old fucks who love using fax machines
that said, even if you wanted to handwrite your resume, again it's a limited use case you can pre-write it on pc, then just copy to paper
no reason to learn a bajillion characters

do you really think you need to know half of those words you've mined?
if the words are common enough, you'll inevitably learn them. others will get picked up without you even noticing. the last 0.1% are either 1) autistic literary words that not even native speakers understand or 2) specific vocab for specific fields of knowledge you can quickly pick up by just reading in those specific fields. nobody ankis in their native language (unless they're a fucking nerd)

Hi DJT friends,
I've been using an old as version of Anki for years and just now found out with all the MIA/Migaku drama I won't be able to use their Japanese add-on on my new Anki setup like I have been until now.

Is there a suitable replacement Anki add-on? I want something that would let me generate furigana and pitch accent for sentences like that one did.

It is not in the matter of education only, that misplaced notions of liberty prevent moral obligations on the part of parents from being recognised, and legal obligations from being imposed… The fact itself, of causing the existence of a human being, is one of the most responsible actions in the range of human life. To undertake this responsibility—to bestow a life which may be either a curse or a blessing—unless the being on whom it is to be bestowed will have at least the ordinary chances of a desirable existence, is a crime against that being

don't beat yourself up over it. any kind of standardized test of some mental ability taps into the general cognitive resource of g. when controlled for exposure and study time, almost all of the variance in score is accounted for by the g component of variance. this is the best someone with your IQ could have done without specifically studying for the test

wtf thats really cool. i wish togashi would reply to my letters

bunko didn't study for the n1 either and got 162. the content of the n1 isn't rare or specialized, so diminishing returns on learning time suggest his score should be roughly comparable to qm's and we don't have to control for preparation and exposure.

running some analysis on jlpt data, it looks like qm is around 120 to 130 IQ, and bunko is about 5 to 10 IQ points lower than qm.

lmao queef is far, far away from 130

>>44378804
>any test
SAT research has shown that, unless the examinee's first attempt was marred by unusual circumstances that significantly affected their performance, improvements in score are limited to around 100 to 150 points. pulling up the numbers, that means someone scoring at the 99th percentile couldn't have had a "true" percentile lower than 97 to 98, regardless of how much they studied to get a 99th percentile score. unless you are from a very high socioeconomic stratum, you have to be at least 128 to 131 iq to get those scores on scholastic tests.

>socieconomic status is a causative factor
lol

>>44378956
there are strong correlations between iq and ses at low ses, but the correlations weakens considerably at high ses. the effect is best seen by comparing iq and income

>鵯越の逆落としに八艘飛び
I always wonder if references to medieval historical anecdotes like this come off as common knowledge to native speakers (especially regarding the reading of proper nouns) because they all learn about them in high school or something, or if it would be like me casually dropping a reference to the Walk to Canossa in something aimed at the general public

the low ses high correlation high ses low correlation effect is further exemplified by considering correlations with socioeconomic mobility instead of ses. excepting high ses strata is justified

Learn your radicals bro. Once you're able to break up Kanji into their base components and derive meaning from those components your problem will be solved.

>>44380210
i’ll go with you when you buy ice cream if youre cute enough for me

>>44379855
>1. Don't buy ice cream at the convenience store because they'll know you're close to home.
>2. Don't let your mail accumulate, because they'll think no one's home.
>3. Don't leave your umbrella outside, they'll know you're a woman living by herself.
>4. Don't wear earbuds outside, because you can't listen for danger.
>5. Cover the peepholes of your door and mail slot.
>6. Get a sensor light for your door.
>7. Don't dry your underwear outside and hang your masculine clothing with your regular stuff.
>8. Don't open the door for strangers
Basically, dumb stuff for women.

i just woke up and cracked open djt to see a quizler post this is gonna be a blessed day thank you master

warren's sister was tested at 150 iq and that was a couple of points lower than warren's iq

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Books/giving-dorris-buffett-story-michael-zitz/story?id=10827641
>"When I was twenty-eight and married, I remember thinking 'Isn't this strange? My brother's a genius, my sister's a Phi Beta Kappa, we all have the same parents, and I'm such a dummy.' I bought it. I really believed that." Much later, she discovered that the woman who had administered an IQ test to Bertie, Warren and Doris when they were eight, ten and twelve, respectively, was still alive. Doris checked the results: her IQ test result was 150, a couple of points lower than Warren's and a couple higher than Bertie's. "I don't know that I believed it, but I immediately joined Mensa because I could get in on that score," she said with a chuckle.

>>44380687

feeling quite down right now...
i'm a beginner, i get it, but i'm making no progress whatsoever, which in turn makes me want to try even less. i sit down everyday for 30 mins clicking through anki and i still don't have everything memorized after god knows how long i've been redoing the same few cards. it's like just memorizing isn't gonna work for me, man... i hate it; it's just no fun trying to learn them full well knowing you're gonna forget them again the next day
i don't remember learning english being that hard back in the day in school (i'm german)...
maybe i'm just not cut out for it. i'm dumb and lazy so i better quit instead of going at it half-assed like i've been doing these past few months. if i really wanted to learn japanese, i wouldn't be whining this hard and try to give up this easily.

>>44381466
quit anki

>>44381478
i have very little time and discipline though; i procrastinate a lot and have little free time because of work and stuff...

>>44381484
then do wanikani

>>44381466
you don't learn japanese in anki

>>44381501
but I don't understand shit. I'm a hardcore beginner, anon... i only got all the kana down and understand some of the grammer rules.

If you started to reading One Piece right now with Anki open to make vocab cards and the dictionary of Japanese grammar and a normal dictionary, you would be more or less "fluent" by the time you made your way through it. Sometimes it really is that simple.

>>44381851
>100 measly manga volumes
you'd certainly be on the right track but no

By using the powers of a Tulpa can I speak to myself in Japanese to learn how to speak and think in the language?

one piece has about 3 times the text of your average manga per page

>>44381901
lol

what is the meaning of 顔がとろけきってますわよ？
deepl says it means "your face is melting away"

>>44381971

>>44381992
ah that fixed it thanks.
you can close this incident and mark it as solved

the two dekinais have been living in japan for like 3 years and still dont speak japanese

>>44382310
Your phone has exif data to tell the orientation that it was taken in, which 4chan strips to prevent retards from doxxing themselves. So depending on whether your phone recognizes portrait or landscape as the default orientation for photos it'll come out looking wrong.

Japanese government should issue me a one month breeding visa to Japan.

It means the person's face is melting, kind of like how ice cream melts in the summer heat. You're probably watching a horror movie or something.

I have come a far way since 2019 in Japan. I am busy trying to become Tendai Buddhist (Japanese Mahayana Buddhism) so I can have the Ten Kings of Hell accomodated in my religion.

At some point, I have to learn Buddhist Japanese. Anyone used it before? Tendai Buddhism uses Sino-Japanese.

i told tried to warn them >>44382522

It's over

>>44383379
what do you do without seeming mad

what is matt vs. japan up to these days? is he still scamming people with overpriced japanese courses?

how do you review anki cards with japanese definitions? with english definitions it's easy to know if you got the card right by being able to recall the corresponding word in english but with japanese definition cards should I be trying to think of a definition sentence in japanese, remember the exact dictionary definition, or still recall it by the english concept, or by a japanese synonym?

>>44383610
neither
you should just know what it means
just like you know what words in your native language mean

>>44383590
this probably hurt matt more than you think the last thing he wants is to be the cringe guy but he just cant help it
hes just like me frfr

I went on leddit to try and read posts about people failing the JLPT and coping but sadly there are only a few.

>>44383665
i can rec the quizler post from this thread

>>44382086
thank you, this feeds my need to see others fail. I couldnt actually stand to watch the clip but just seeing the colossal cope that is the title has made my day.

>>44377512
No my memory is terrible, I actually started making 'codexes' of things because I'd forget them otherwise. If I had to give any tip it would be to close your eyes as the sentence is read out loud so you can practice listening. Alternatively you could turn the volume off and cover the translation to practice reading.
The first 200-300 cards were easy because of what I said in my post: The shapes were all large and distinct enough that it was no different than learning Hiragana. But once they started adding in ones with 4+ subkanji/radicals and subtle changes (会う, 合う) I get completely thrown off because I'd get it right and then it wouldn't appear for 10 days, but the slightly different version would appear and then I'd go "wait.. what?" until I manually searched through the deck to make sure I wasn't going insane.
I'm currently filtered by the kai/kei/kens/hyou/ji/ ones as I can't memorize the actual components and they just look the same really.
I'm still not sold on target-kanji studying being worthless. I think that the isolation in which they appear in anki makes it much harder than it should be. Even typing these out led me to recognize the patterns between them that I wouldn't have otherwise due to the multiple days in-between them in anki. I think I'm going to make a subdeck just for the ones I'm filtered by so I can recognize them and their components better.

just realized i know which au is which and now have to question all of the minutes of my life wasted memorizing other little things that don't matter

>>44381851
One piece might get you to n4. Definitely not past that

this channel took the reactions of /a/ to the pokemon mesugaki, translated them and made a video about it.

>>44381466
>i sit down everyday for 30 mins clicking through anki and i still don't have everything memorized
you're literally lying. show retention rate
>i don't remember learning english being that hard back in the day in school
it probably took you a few years to get from pre-beginner to beginner in English. but with Japanese you're already bitching after a few months

>>44383794
The channel is relatively recent, he's being running a blog for a number of years now. I recommend the 紳士の社交場, クソスレ, and 永久機関 tag on
https://kowakunotsubo.com/
and

>>44372611
when i would get two words confused for each other i'd paste them both into notepad next to eachother to look at their differences side by side, that usually did the trick for me.
it was usually something like a single radical being different between them, so i could make a mental note of that.

matt had a phase where he was just stalking popular streaming tokyo gaijin to get on camera and one or two of them told him to get lost

Its kind of interesting to hear japanese people speak english on youtube. i just heard "return that to the fridge" and i would assume they where thinking in japanese 冷蔵庫に戻して

>>44384021
Isn't this shit ABCD multiple choice too? You can get a 25% on almost any test just guessing entirely A. I wonder how many people have taken it for fun and passed just through guessing.

>>44384055
hes so weird lmaoo thanks i will have to find that vid

>>44384069
That's not how it's scored. They take into account how everyone answers to fine tune the difficulty. So if you guess randomly and get a question that almost everyone else got correct wrong, that's a huge deduction.

crazy to think how many combined hours have been wasted on this language by the 99% of japanese learners that can never make it

billions of people waste time every day. so not really crazy

Like how the culture of Japan has its own unique and difficult to understand concepts such as 四季 and 燃えるゴミ, the language does too such as 擬音 and 四字熟語.

is anki a meme?

>>44384547
Anki is flashcards. The things you see people using before a test or something. If a significant part of your learning is spent just on flashcards you are doing something wrong.
