Have you been to Japan within the last ten years? Pretty much the only time kids 13 or under speak Japanese is when they're at home with their parents, or talking to other adults. When they're out with their friends, it's all English. It's only a matter of a few years before entertainment media catch on, and in another 40-50 years the language will just be a quaint memory, reserved for special occasions only.

If you have se many reps that you can't find motivation to do them, try to slow down. Don't add anything new for a while. Use the "very easy button" more often. Make cards show up less frequently and try to learn (I assume you're learning Japanese) more from eroge and anime etc.

Try to keep it on a level where all reps be done.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10319848
>Were you actually using SRS or were you pressing "hard" most of the time?

Semi SRS, I guess. First I do the daily review(usually around 200 cards) after that I do my 50 new cards, and cram the 50 cards through the cram function on Anki, just to see if they sit for the day.

After that I just repeat the process the next day, So I only cram the new cards for the day.


>Were you actually using SRS or were you pressing "hard" most of the time?
Only use the "good" and "hard" button, very rarely the "again" button. The thing that seperates the two is:
1. "Hard" is usually used whenever I can't recall or pronounce a compound. But still have notion of what it can be, after checking what it means. Or in other words "fuck sake, how could I miss that"

2. "Again" is only used if I don't have a single clue what it means, even after checking.

>How'd you review? Just read/recall the word/sentence?
Recall the meaning and pronounciation of the vocab, read the sentence and translate it.

>What's your retention rate for "young" cards?
Young: 89.37%

[Anonymous No.]

>>10319981
You should just get the clozed deck for it instead. It still needs quite a bit of tweaking, but it's not as time consuming as making own cards is.
Conjugation rules are best recalled from example, you don't need to see them spelled out. Typing in, and reading sentences will also give you a general feel of how things come together.

I think example sentences from like 2 or 3 sections are missing, so you'll have to add them manually. Also, be sure to get the clozed deck and not the regular one.

I already do eroge every day. Doesn't mean I'm going to happen to see all the same kanji I'm currently reviewing.

Guess that's one of the disadvantages of starting Heisig after already knowing quite a bit of Japanese.

When you come across a new word, say ありったけ, do you add it as it is or do you add it with kanji ie 有りったけ or 有りっ丈?

For this word, it is commonly written in kana from what tangorin says but there is no stopping a writer from using one of the less common ways to write a word.

I add it in kanji if my IME will do it in kanji without me forcing it too (by, for instance, typing 有る　った　丈 and then deleting the extra る and た. Plus that's a rather intuitive one.

If it requires shit like that, it probably isn't that common. Although if I see the kanji more than once and still can't read it, I try to force it in.

Wow that is an awkward way to type it. I just type the masu form, 有り, then っ丈.

I personally learned all the jouyou kanji before learning a single kana or Japanese word (not counting konnichiwa), and I'm currently @ about 3-4k vocab and doing fine. It doesn't matter, just do whatever you're comfortable with. Grinding kana to memorize them does seem the best method though.

I lacked motivation doing even less than 200 when it didn't cavalcade into this mess. If I try to do it now, it'll just remind me that I failed myself and I'm an even bigger failure now.

Can you give me some sites to use?

For me I already had a lot of kanji I could read and recognize as part of vocab (probably over 1000) but could not recall at all if they weren't in front of me. I was also having difficulty separating the individual kanji in compounds and using them as building blocks to aid quicker learning of new words, if that makes sense, so I felt I wasn't picking up vocab as easily as I could be. I wanted to have a much firmer grasp of the kanji and actually be able to write them, so I finally broke down and tried Heisig. About 500 kanji in and it's been working well so far.

For me it just feels like you're doing twice the amount of work than what is really needed, it also introduces bad practise since it hardwires English meanings to Japanese kanji shapes in a person's memory, which they have to unfasten and rewire a Japanese reading (and meaning)

I am guessing this why so many people give up, you are doing way too much awkward learning.

Anki reset a few hours ago so I haven't done mine yet.

Also, I made a info picture for DJT earlier today. (I visit /a/ for DJT)

Epwing2Anki creates notes (Anki cards) with definitions and example sentences from a list of words that you make.

I like adding words from my reading material so this helps a lot with cutting down card-making time (especially with non-text files). If you have a .txt file to read, Yomichan seems to be better/easier to use. Hope it helps a few learners.

Not really.

I did that with RTK, and I don't associate the English meanings with the kanji at all, I associate the Japanese words, and it never felt awkward.

In the first paragraph you misspelled 'example'.
And in the second line under 'Part 3', the word 'to' should not be there.

1800 vocab + 300 on-yomi kanji + 250 others that I only know kun for. I'm not too bad at grammar, been trying to read and stuff so it's getting better. Is this good progress for 1.5 months?

You won't learn Japanese with that attitude. You have to be willing to devote years of your life to it. If a simple guide like that is putting you off, you will never be fluent. Just give up now, will save you a few months of boredom.
