Baka /jp/!

I'll do it tomorrow

I did some push ups, and that weird thing where you lie down and raise your legs.

Plus I went jogging.

And lifted my weights.

Does that count?

I have nothing to rep. What's a good way to get stuff to rep?

Mommy why do you never knock?

Why yes I have. I've got about 200 new kanji that I haven't done still in queue. I'm thinking about knocking them all out today, but then I'll have like 400 reviews tomorrow.

I was doing my reps last night and the POS reset on me.
It was 4 AM so I guess that's when it resets.
I suppose it can't be HELL'pd.

What reps?

I did. This is me nerds:

How can anyone forget Japanese if all of their hobbies revolve around it. That's just silly.

>>8817576

Not all of us are at the point where our language knowledge will sustain itself.

I did, actually. Experimenting with timeboxing.

>>8817648

How?

>>8817463
I am doing rosetta stone, what else should I be doing /jp/.

I am an /a/ fag, don't come here often.

>>8817725

Real subtle.

>>8817725

Jesus, anime has gotten dumb.

I actually did my reps today. I curled a 35 lb. dumbell 75 times in each arm over a span of one hour, ran 3 miles in 28:53, and did 150 crunches.

You should try exercising, /jp/. You feel great afterwards.

>>8817761
>3 miles in 28:53
Gotta go faster.

>>8817780
Yeah, I've been trying but I'm weak on cardio. Just started running a month ago, getting better every day. I get winded way to fast, but I'm working on it.

What.
I can do 5km in 40 minutes.
WALKING.

>>8817761
But the feeling doesn't last long at all.

>>8817787
I was too, but when running just don't even think about running. Watch T.V. or listen to the radio or something if you're on a treadmill, or if you're on a road just put your mind on anything else that isn't running. I can do a 7:00 mile now, and I'm still working on it

Do your reps /jp/

I haven't done mine since wednesday. I will probably end up waiting a couple of weeks for exams to end to resume.

Everyday, I haven't missed a day in 63 days. I am a person that has no ambition but for some obvious reason I can will myself to learn japanese (1600 kanji right now) despite never being able to do something hard in my life.

Also writing things down and entering them into anki really helps retention.

Please stop shitting up the thread.

can't shit up a repost

>3 miles in 28:53
I pushed a van for 30 minutes, get on my level.

>>8817998

The thread has a specific purpose.

>>8818084

Nobody cares.

>>8817949
Can't shit up a shit thread.

Yup. Just a couple more days until I'm all through all the kanji for the JPLT3. Then a few days of review and I'll move to 2.

>>8818171

Nice try spammer.

>>8818218

Congrats. Are you following NukeMarine's guide?

>>8818293
He has a guide?
I've seen some of his stories for kanji on koohi, but that's all.

>>8818298

Yup.

I asked because he splits it up (vocab, kanji, grammar) by JPLT level.

It will never come out

go to 2ch and bring somthing back

/jp/ you're making this harder than it has to be.

>>8820996
I just can't seem to find a way to memorize both kunyomi and onyomi in kanji. I keep forgetting one or the other. Even kanjidicks and it's mnemonics don't help me.

>>8817463
>>8817463

Why is it so important?

>>8821651
It is best just to memorize them through vocabulary words. Memorize all you can at the KanjiDamage level but don't kill yourself over it, you will learn it when you learn vocabulary.

REP THIS!

>>8821685
You can learn both kun and onyomi in the vocab ? Thank you. At least translation doesn't give me as much trouble.

I wish I could understand how some people claim to learn 20-30 kanji per day when I can't even do more than 10.

Do they not bother with learning words and just say "okay, it's in my deck, I've learned it" or something?

>>8821859
>Do they not bother with learning words and just say "okay, it's in my deck, I've learned it" or something?

People exaggerate their accomplishments online, no matter what the subject.

There's this one /jp/ who claimed he learned a college semester's worth of French in like 2 days. That was pretty easy to disprove, though.

>>8821859
I do 20 kanji a day and learn everything about it except stroke order (fuck that, seriously) I also learn 20-30 multiple kanji words a day as well.

I stay with it and do my reps diligently, I don't just store them away and say I am done with them. I am really really motivated in trying to learn japanese. I am NEET too so the fact I can sink most of a day (and all of my mental energy) into learning japanese helps me as well.

>>8821923

30 a day isn't exaggerated.

>>8822216

>I stay with it and do my reps diligently

Any advice for this? I would be fluent if I could do that.

>>8821859
Probably fake, like the anon from a while back who said he had learned 250 kanji in a week, and was planning on having 3000 down by the end of the semester.

>>8822521
Stay motivated and really want it. I think of it like this, can enjoy any japanese media I can get my hands on, no matter how niche, without having to deal with translators. I am pretty set in my ways so I am still going to be /jp/er in a decade so this is the best thing I can do for myself.

Im almost done memorizing hirigana!

>>8822538
>Do they not bother with learning words

Define "words". Kanji by itself is a word.

And yes, obviously, there's no point in memorizing all of the meanings/readings when one suffices. You're not doing this to cover every use case, you're doing this to be able to recognize the character.

...unless you do try to cover every use case, in which case there's no wonder you're struggling with just a few a day. I'm not saying it's a wrong method, it just means you're comparing apples to oranges.

>>8822538
>learned 250 kanji in a week
>fake

Don't delude yourself, it's nothing strange. I did just that for an entire month at one point. Left me pretty exhausted, and I wouldn't be able to continue at that pace, but I wouldn't even need to, since this plus what I already knew covered the vast majority of what I needed to kickstart reading.

Feels good. Stop slackin anons.

/jp/ don't make me get the belt

I did some programming today.
That means I won't have to do reps the rest of the week.

Every time I learn Japanese someone reports me for not being /jp/ related.

Please judge my setup /jp/. I want to make sure I'm doing this right.
And why is there over 4k cards if it's only 2136 Jouyou Kanji?

>>8823419
It's the keyword of the kanji and the actual character of every kanji.

>>8823419
The keyword has a separate card, and the character has a seperate card making it double.

Learning Japanese by memorising kanji is like learning English by studying a dictionary.

Go out and actually read real text.

>>8823932
Learning Japanese by memorizing words from a dictionary is like learning English by memorizing words from a dictionary.

Trying to read Japanese without having any kanji knowledge is like trying to read English while only knowing half of the alphabet.

worked well for me.

You sure you don't want to say 6/16?

Walk before you can run. The reading is how Kanii readings are learned.
