What is DJT's opinion on the popular Japanese textbook "Remembering the Kanji" by James W. Heisig?

>>44701182

>>44701182
never heard of it

well now you have. time to remember 17 kanji a day

>>44701182
great book, taught me a lot, apprently it's been outdated a while now though, but since i'm an old japanese learner it doesn't mater

>>44701182
It's incredible. By far the most efficient way to cripple a new learner and maximize the chance that they quit, all before they learn any Japanese.

>>44701221
>apprently it's been outdated a while now though
Is there another preferred textbook for kanji now?

rtk is for brainlets only

Is it normal to forget a word you looked up 5 minutes ago? For context, I've only been reading for a couple of days, but I fear I might be retarded cause this doesn't feel right. I also often fail to recognize words I'm supposed to know from the Anki deck I'm doing, but when I use Yomichan on them and see the definition, I instantly recall the card. Does this problem just go away over time (spent reading)?

>>44701437
yes. just keep reading.

>>44701437
brain is lazy (efficient) so it optimizes for your anki deck (a much smaller and limited dataset where your brain knows exactly what to expect.)
you just need to immerse more and your brain will realize "oh wait I actually need to remember this properly" and it will.

Also good job on starting reading anon!
You're not retarded, it's just actually really difficult.

未確認生物 - cryptid
now there's a word worth knowing

Using Ankidrone, should I read the sentence to help me figure out the word? I would only ever really read the sentence the first time it shows up. Otherwise I've made it a habit to only look at the word itself and try not to read the sentence, as I thought that it'd make me reliant on other variables to recall aside from kanji itself (which already kinda feels like the case, considering my peripheral vision and the placement of the word still ends up aiding me.) But instead, should I really just read through the whole sentence every time in order to recall? Will that still help me recall vocab individually, just with the added fact that I'm practicing sentence reading. Or is it detrimental?

does the average jap even know what words like 刹那, 醍醐味, or 億劫 mean in a buddhist context.

Is WaniKani the best resource to learn Kanji? I've been trying it out for about a week now and it feels great. I'm thinking this + Anki for Grammar and additional Vocab in general, + Genki/Japanese from Zero series, and this feels like a winning combination.

Can anyone here give their thoughts on it? Is the lifetime subscription worth it?

>>44701182
It's a great way to remember but not read.

>>44702551
its really slow, if youre fine with spending a year and a half to get through core kanji then keep using it. i know that most people prefer it not because its efficient, but because they have motivation issues and somehow wanikani really helps with that (similar to the decision to take classes), in the end, a snail's pace is better than not at all.

>>44702551
Even memes like pic related are better than wanker kancer

>>44702621
i tend to visualize characters and try to look for patterns when reading (e.g 憐 隣 燐, 務 霧, 靄 藹, 謁(謁)) but writing them down just takes to much time.
i found some guy in reddit who made a website and spreadsheets to help see patterns in kanji (https://kvlp.org/)), but it doesn't really seem helpful if you're at the stage where you can distinguish characters anyway. maybe the anon in your picrel might want to take a look (or maybe anon and that guy are one and the same)

>writing them down
trace them with your finger. no pen and paper required

>>44702617
>>44702621
so you're saying it's good for people with a life outside of grinding japanese every day?

>>44702988
wanky cunny IS grinding.

how do I avoid memorizing the cards and actually learning the kanjis/voca? I always learn 500-600 cards and then drop it when I realize I just learned the card but not the content.

>memorizing the cards
never happened to me. how is this possible?
Before flipping the card, you guess what the word at the front means and how it's read. If you fail at either, then bury or fail the card. For words with multiple interpretations (e.g. 上下(うえした) 上下(じょうげ)), try to recall all that you can, or edit the card to add context

>>44703281
don't worry about it, just read

anyone has that webiste that streams all japanese tv stations?

yup hands down the best doujinsi ever created
cant believe someone dethroned the king mosquitone and his ntr masterpiece

>>44701877
its over

>>44703281
This question doesn't make any sense. You have cards. A card has a Japanese word and its reading and meaning. You say you have learned these cards. Learning means that you remember the reading and the meaning when shown the word. If you don't remember them, you haven't learned the card.

should i force myself to immerse even when i only know 800 words so far? if not, then what else should i be spending my time doing? even though im only just getting through the core vocabulary right now, i want to still make use of every second i have.

Hello guys first time here.
I have some uneasy feeling when repeating my older kanji. Even though I know all the meanings, readings, radicals and recognise them in text without a problem, I still can't help but feel like something's leaking my head. Wat do? Should I just ignore it?

that sounds like a serious problem

that'll go away after 5 years of constant immersion

for 5 years, will you do only anki?

thoughts on adding words you already know to anki? i feel like it helps to put it in your active vocab

Whatever you do, do not play mobile gacha games

Basic question, but why is 今日 read as きょう? I don't see any kun or on readings that would lead you to that. Was I wrong in thinking kun and on readings would always apply to kanji, or is this an exception?

>>44706898
Would you kindly share such a way? Or will I have to rummage through my anki backup folder to undo today's progress?

>>44707086
because Japan is fucked up and Japanese are morons

>>44707086
it's a jukujikun. the word is きょう and it was assigned the kanji 今日. same deal with 大人(おとな), 明日(あした), 昨日(きのう), etc.

>>44707086
because 今日 means today in chinese and きょう meant today in japanese before they started replacing half their language with pseudo-chinese
just think of it as a single kun reading spread across 2 kanji

>>44707102
Thanks. I kind of thought that type of stuff was limited to singular kanji with multiple radicals in it (like 月 in 胎.) Is this really common or just an occasional thing?

>>44707116
Don't know why I didn't think of that, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks

>>44707163
>Is this really common or just an occasional thing?
No idea. I just write down words.
Also not everything is a jukujikun: 狩人(かりうど) derives from 狩(かり)+人(びと) after an euphonic change. Same deal for 仲人(なこうど, originally なかびと).
Also, have fun with 忠実(ちゅうじつ) and 忠実(まめ).

I hate JP->EN translators because it feels like they are stealing my thunder. Not being the most knowledgeable person on Japanese in the room tends to fill me with unbridled rage.

>>44704158
Tango N5/N4? Drop that, since you will remember the sentence itself, not the actual vocabulary. Use a word deck like Core 2k/6k.

There is absolutely no way I didn't adopt a more feminine way of speaking after all the shit I watched. The anime has mostly females speaking, the hentai(obviously), the VNs. Oh my God I was destined to get fucked by the input. I blame the japanese, the Otome shit is also fucking gay there's absolutely no way I'm touching that.
I guess I will have to deal with the humiliation one way or another.

>>44707588
I mean real intensive reading, not white-noising. even half an hour of it can be extremely exhausting early on, so I don't think you could reasonably do 30 hours in a few days. maybe in 20 days. but you could do the 800 initial cards in 20 days too so it checks out.

As someone who's restarting learning Japanese, what do you think is the most efficient way of learning Kanji? So far, my Hiragana and Katakana are decent, but Kanji is still a bitch to go through. Or should I try learning sentence structure first?

The answer key the book provides has 1d. 2a. 3c. 4e. 5b. here, but I cannot for the life of me understand why answer d/e aren't switched. 音読み obviously is derived from old chinese and 部首 (the radical) expressing the basic meaning of the kanji makes way more sense than the fucking sino reading expressing anything. Can someone please explain?
This is from tobira: power up your kanji. Literally the first question.

>>44709156
"thing in japanese" isn't fun when you don't understand. its perfectly reasonable to have to force yourself to go through things up until a certain point. unlike most ironic weebs, the very idea of "oooh this is in japanese" isn't enough for some people to enjoy something. yet the strengths of japanese media that you can be attached to, are diminished when you don't understand a damn thing

>few months
you hardly even started learning japanese, you probably didnt even do that much in that few months. if kanji is difficult, go through "remembering the kanji" "world of kanji" or "a guide to rememebering japanese characters", whichever you like. you dont have to strictly read it in order, you can just skim it a bit everyday or specifically look at words you have trouble with. watch content with japanese subtitles and using yomichan to understand it and add commmon words you find in shows to your anki and after a while you can read random things, it can be anything, in a video game, twitter whatever you like. just find content you like in japanese and watch/read it all day as if it were your only form of entertainment.

imagine seething because you're going to quit in less than 6 months

にゃんぱすー

Started Genki chapter 3 after learning radicals, so I'm finally onto kanji. Do you guys think I should learn every individual kanji that's part of larger words (i.e. learning both 週(week) and 末(end) from 週末(weekend)?) Or, should I just learn exactly what I need at the time, and save the individual meanings for when I actually get to those words themselves one day? Asking because I'm not sure if learning meanings of everything would end up too cumbersome and inefficient.

>>44709717
>Started Genk
> Do you guys think I should
i think you should put that garbage down and immerse and mine instead

I just realized that the only reason I'm even learning this language is because I want to have sex with anime girls, and anime girls don't even exist in real life.
I feel like I just wasted over two years of my life.

>>44709742
not that asshole, but i am also using genki and so far it's been helping me write sentences and stuff, i find it useful.
i am also doing my daily anki as well alongside it.

>>44709742
I want somewhat of a basis for the language before immersion, so I am going with Genki and sticking with it. It'll only take a few months, anyway.

>>44709749
>anime girls don't even exist in real life
not yet

>>44709753
>>44709754
youre not even meant to do genki alone, youre meant to do it with the guidance of a teacher. whether or not you're doing genki or whatever, you should be immersing anyways

Have you considered simply transitioning?

Give me something to listen to while practicing my Kanji

>>44710018
dont listen to anything, it will add noise to your recall.

>>44710036
Alright. Thanks for the advice.

>>44710018
depends on if you like anime or dramas or some youtube channel. you can put on something random

im learning to jack off to monster girls

there are so many subtleties and smaller expressions aside from general vocab that im having trouble trying to decipher. my perfectionist side of trying to 100% understand every single sentence is making this stuff hard to pass up, but dictionaries don't really help and all. is there no real blatant explanation/material that covers all of these, or is this just apart of bearing with for the sake of getting an intuitive "feel" for grammatical structure?

>>44710238
try watching native youtube videos that explain things like that maybe? like ammo with misa

anyone just fucking hate how japs talk sometimes? especially announcers and news casters

any good posts?

What are some decent Kanji anki decks worth doing for someone who just started?

Textbooks are so fucking retarded you deserve to never make it if you ironically used those LMAO

what are your thoughts about typing out an answer in anki? all these guides, and ive never seen any mention on the usefulness of putting an answer textbox on decks and typing it in kana. ive been finding it helpful, as my muscle memory helps me remember the phonetic spelling of the word. plus it just makes anki easier to get through, as it's a bit more game-ified. but i wonder if it has the same kind of downsides as "premature output" you see in terms of speech? or any other downside, really.

>>44710933
That just makes srs take longer, you're supposed to minimize time spent in srs so you can go immerse

I do 空書. it's bliiiissssssss

>>44710577
i use it time to time just so i can hear/repeat phrases and sentences.

eeeee, sugee

>>44707573
If you believe this then you also believe you'll end up sounding like an anime character from too much anime input.

>>44710790
You are incorrect!
Textbooks are extremely trustworthy and the only sensible way to learn the language!
It's not like they have a monetary incentive to make teaching the language as difficult and slow as possible!

>>44711026
if all youve watched is anime and you try to talk without realizing the difference, you will sound like an anime character

>>44710238
The language has been solved for a few centuries now, so your dictionary should cover about 90% of whatever you’re looking at. What in particular is tripping you up?

How do I learn what makes up a Kanji? I haven't seen any anki decks for that.

>>44711184
Radicals

>>44711184
You can go to jisho.org and type in in the kanji you want to see + #kanji (e.g. 日 #kanji) and you’ll see that parts that make it up.

>>44711202
>>44711219
Are there any anki decks that do it?

>>44711224
There are radical decks, but it’s best not to learn them. There are a lot of kanji that use non-standard radicals and it won’t help you read or write any better if you memorize them.

dunno what to jerk off to on exhentai

>>44711184
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kanji_radicals_by_frequency?useskin=vector
just read the Wikipedia page, make a deck if you feel like it.

加藤じゅん finally released あばたーとらんす13 a few weeks ago. In the afterword he says 14 will be early next year and finally get back to the present. Hopefully Ran will give Nao's asshole the violent reaming it's been waiting for for ten goddamn years.

Genuine question. How long does it normally take (Or how long did it take you) to start reading manga/VNs at a "decent" pace?

>>44712069
If by "decent" you mean close to your native reading level, then a long time. Obviously, your speed is also dependent on your familiarity with what your reading, but still, it'll take years.

>>44710036
Unfortunately, I had to listen to music while doing Anki today because my family was being noisy and I couldn't focus.
Is my Japanese ruined forever now?

>>44712152
By decent, I mean without having to look up Kanji every few seconds.

D/ic/k here,
Which artist is more likely to be in charge of the style? Coin or Akai tera? Dunno if being a character designer(?) would mean you contribute less or not

>>44712175
Well get used to looking things up, because that will be a very long time, unless you only plan on reading children’s books.

>>44712447
>children's books
unless they're for literal toddlers, those actually contain quite a lot of vocabulary.

>>44712526
I actually love to read childrens books (at least english ones), its just that nobody makes torrents for them, so you have to buy them yourself.

anything interesting from tgs so far?

>>44712069
A few months before unknown readings become rare then a few more before dictionary usage becomes infrequent

>>44712896

>>44712447
>Well get used to looking things up
at the earlier stage when you pretty much don't understand anything, would you advise to look up every single thing? or just push through it despite hardly getting much of it. those are two extremes, but even then, how do you balance it out? whats the thought process behind the decision making?

I fucking hate these kanji and all their extensions

>>44714289
Thanks. Got a shock reading the characters together.

>>44713190
You should look up everything you don’t know and try to aim for full comprehension of what you’re reading. Anything you skip will (in most cases anyway) be something you’ll have to look up and learn later on, so it’s better to always be in the habit of learning, not skipping.

Fan subbers are absolute retards. Nothing destroys your experience more than the entire screen being taken up by a "translator's note" explaining what "aniki" or "sushi" means, and nothing ruins opening credits more than song lyrics popping up on screen.
