Holy shit ok ive been at this for hours.

End goal is this: I want those optional pictures, teased in the startup guide https://djtguide.neocities.org/anki.html

I'm on a linux distribution which kindly compiles an up-to-date Anki for me. Unfortunately though, this means i have no fucking clue where the media folder is because its not in the location the manual assumes.
https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#files

In anki, I can click on
>Tools
>Check Media...
and i get this
>Used on cards but missing from media folder:
followed by a long list of .jpg's that i assume are my missing optional pictures.

So i know the "media folder" exists somewhere. Any help/advice would be appreciated

Your using the Core deck, am I right? In Anki using the card browser select any card and grab the filename of the audio track. Perform a search of your file system. It should return your media directory with said file.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17378986
Tools -> Preferences -> Backups -> Open Backup Folder.

That should open up the backup folder inside your anki directory, so you'll need to go back one folder and there you should see collection.media.

So, the obedient ankidrone I am I reached 1,5k words in core and decided that I wanna reduce anki to maybe 20min a day and start reading a bit more seriously (I read before, just not very much). At that time I was at 300 reviews/day. After a few days of setting the new-words-counter to 0 I got it down to 200/day but now it seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't get it below 190 reviews a day, even after 1-2 weeks of not adding new words.
It currently takes me about an hour to finish my reviews. It seems like I just can't remember the Kanjis after about 10 days of not seeing them. Is there another way to reduce my reviews per day aside from killing myself for my advanced mental retardation?

Of course I could just stop core altogether and make a mining-deck (which I will do at some point) but I don't want to forget the words I already learned in core.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17380345
You're seeing cards that were scheduled like a month ago.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17380345
Try another method of learning the Kanji? Do you know how to write them? Practice using them in a sentence and write them out by hand. Use jisho or something to find common usage. This also pulls double duty for you since you will be practicing reading at the same time.

I would say stay away from ones you're confident in. When you come across a kanji you've forgotten as you do your cards write it down and come back to it.

I had to get an iPhone plz no bully, work made me get an Iphone specifically and I'm looking at the keyboard options. Is the only Japanese iphone keyboard the kind where you need to hit the button multiple times in order to scroll through the characters? It's not that big a deal, but I'm just curious if there's another keyboard option I'm missing that lets you see all the hiragana at least at once.

When I'm already having so much trouble simply understanding things, that extra little bit of frustration piles up very quickly.

Welcome to hell.
Spoken Japanese is pretty short on distinct sounds, and yet the Japanese based their written language on Chinese, which has a shitload of distinct sounds which the Japanese could only make half-assed attempts to transcribe into the sounds familiar to them. This means Japanese gets loads of homophones, which are now an integral part of their language.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17381139
I remember a Japanese poster on /int/ attempting to deflect this by saying that most of these words are obsolete in the Japanese language. Like, no shit, of course they would be obsolete if they all sound the fucking same.

This is probably the kind of difficult Japanese that some on DJT keep talking about.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17381166
Well, you know.. Spoken language can be counted on to whittle away homophones that are too close for comfort. And yet Japanese still subjectively feels like it's crawling with homophones, compared to the other languages I know.
And then there's written Japanese, which ranges from actual kanbun to text merely loaded with kanbun-influenced vocab.

Context: Amane is saying that the 決定的な違い between Haru-chan's and Mako-chan's お弁当 is おにぎりのサイズ, and then she says this sentence.
I think the part I'm having trouble with is "ちょっとずつ大きいんだけど". For ちょっとずつ I've found the meanings "gradually, little by little, step by step", but I can't work out what this is supposed to mean here. I looked up ずつ in HJGP but that didn't help me much either. I would appreciate your assistance, DJT.

With the rest of the lines which I struggled with so far, I've been content to just get the basic gist of them and move on, but this one seems like it's going to be important to the plot so I want to make sure I'm getting it right.

After puzzling over it a bit, the best I can do is:
To the chosen hero,
Combine the machine of ancient times which is on this bridge with this card of legend, then if you press the button of the sun, the beautiful and new road of your desires will open up.

If you say it flatly, the machine which was on the bridge will thrust/plunge (somewhere). Something brilliant will happen.

A really brilliant thing, therefore! To advance from this point it's a necessary thing therefore! Believe!

How is this a kanji test?

Even if you know every kanji there, including their readings, it's all for naught if you don't know those specific words since there's no way to know for sure, from the kanji alone, which readings the words will use or what the words mean.

now the question is do you keep your house built on the dirt or do you accept that in order to have a sturdy house you must pour the slab first

your uneasiness seems to indicate you somehow or other realize this and unfortunately what youre missing cannot be found here

[Anonymous No.]

>>17383047

Sounds good to me, I did essentially the same thing as you starting 6 months ago and I'm now a little over a thousand words into core and have about a thousand words mined (and learned). I suppose I'm a slow learner compared to others here, mainly because I found that I couldn't really memorize (and differentiate) the kanji unless I write them down repeatedly (I've filled multiple college ruled notebooks) so that slows me a lot.

My advice is to take it ez, imo burning out is the worst outcome.

Am I wasting my time being an Anki drone and not trying to read? (although I'm only 500 words into core2k)

I kind of realised my reasons for learning Japanese were flawed. I told myself if I learn Japanese I will be able to read untranslated manga, VNs etc but I barely even read translated ones that I would be interested in now.

I guess I have made Anki a habit so I may as well keep going but I am kind of demotivated right now. How do I get my spirits back up?

[Anonymous No.]

>>17384579
>How do I get my spirits back up?
Watch J-drama raws.
I watched all 3 season of Gokusen when I barely started with anki and started mining by ear and trying to follow the story, which was much easier than I thought it would be.

I guess you can skip reading if you don't want to, but there's tons of great stuff to read too.

If you never plan to use Japanese then why even learn it though? If it's fun then keep going.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17384579
500 is not that far yet though yes you should start reading when you're done with Tae Kim.
Also it's not all that uncommon to be uninterested in translated media. Reading translated VNs/Japanese media felt very cringey to me and I couldn't enjoy the text, so before I learned Japanese I was just speeding through them for the "plot". When I started reading them in Japanese I actually enjoyed them on a line-to-line basis and started seeking out writers with interesting prose. There's also the fact that the translated selection is garbage so that could be a factor too. As long as you like media and fiction there'll be something for you out there though I can't really relate to you there because I have hundreds of things in my backlog that I am very excited to experience.

I think I kind of romanticised learning the language a bit and thought once I learn Japanese everything will be perfect. I don't really have anything that is untranslated that I desperately want to read for motivation.

I think I also overestimated how much motivation I had to do grammar stuff, doing anki everyday is easy compared to actually remembering grammar.

>>17384603

I think you are right about the translated stuff feeling cringey. I just lose immersion when I see stuff translated as "dude" etc.

I don't really know where I was going with these posts but I just wanted to vent sorry. I'll keep doing Anki and maybe try reading again at like 1k words or so.

[Anonymous No.]

In those cases you're given less time, but not as little as when listening. When your reading speed is good enough you can afford to do a double-take or two in those kind of situations, because its displayed sentence by sentence, not word by word. But when listening, you only got a split-second for each word and it's gone.

Okay, so this might be a dumb question, but there's one thing I don't get about はなひらっ！
The lunch break scene has a scene where they open their お弁当s and discuss and eat. Afterwards, there is a "scene break" (i.e. the screen fades to black), but they're still talking about おにぎり size and swapping 弁当s and shit.
Was that "scene break" badly placed, over/misinterpreted by me, or what? I mean, if they're still eating, then I don't know why the CG is no longer the pic where they are eating.

A word lasts a split-second. If you don't hear it correctly when it's being spoken, there's no going back and hear it again if you don't have that option.

Yes, it is. Subtitles etc. are temporary, as it the text will disappear eventually. But you most definitely still have that option, for the reason I explained in my two previous posts.

を can attach to the 連体形 of a verb, which could function as a noun in 文語 in the same way 連体形+の functions as a noun in modern Japanese. The 未然形+ざるを得ない construction, where ざる is the 連体形 of ざり, is an example of this you may be familiar with already.

Flip the paper sideways and write top to bottom, right to left. That would make a very basic kind of note paper. Each character should fit the width of the column and be about as tall as it is wide.
Proper writing paper is usually divided into square cells (one for each kanji), with spaces between the columns. It's also possible to have guidelines dividing each square into equal parts, to help with proportioning the kanji.

If anything it's impolite.
"Those who can pay should be the ones to pay for it."

The nuance I¨m getting is "I don't have money, have someone who does pay".

Then again, you didn't provide context.

What's the distinction between a ligature and a made up kanji? You mean the author took specific phrases and jammed them together to create those?

[Anonymous No.]

>>17391845
There is no real distinction, but if you wanted to go with something intuitive, a ligature would be more like something you can break down into obvious source characters, and a made-up kanji is a mess like the ones in the page that was posted.

Not much at all, it was yotsubato
then hanahira, キノの旅 still make me feel retarded babby pace reading
It wasn't until flyable heart and re-reading sections that i noticed my speed was increasing, but only in general common dialogue

any new topics or unknown words with long sentences Im straight back to feeling like I haven't improved at all, crawling back through it until I understand, probably missing all the nuance, then moving on
either that or there was barely any nuance to begin with an I'm overthinking every sentence

"町 (and 市) are units of local governance. Some 町 have own local government and some 町 is belongs to another 市. 市 has always own local government.
宮島 is a 町 in the 廿日市市 (Hatsukaichi City).
街 is a street or area of a specific purpose, as chrikron's explanation.
都市 means an urban area."

A nip said this on HiNative. Is there any other kind of meaning he is missing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>17391925
When i 'finished' tae kim, it did not all stick, and I go back to it frequently as well as dojg
So its hard to put a definitive time on 'finished' it
And even if I understand the grammar concepts, the emphatic word usage, sentence length, and paranoia over dropped common phrases(to natives) make me feel perpetually incompetent

No idea. I'm not really sure what the optimal retention rate is.

I try and keep my retention rate above 95% because I get sad when I have to press again but I'm not sure that is optimal because I end up having to write the words down over and over again.

Someone who has a retention rate of, say, 75%, might actually be more efficient because they spend less time in anki even though the stat might look worse.

It is based on how long it took to skip through the text. The chart is in the order that I read it. I recommend saving Mayuri for last, but order doesn't really matter.

Here's a Satsukoi chart, shaded areas are sex scenes. Someday I will redo the Flyable Heart chart like this.

そうじゃない。
語源は、「さま（様）」の音変化、あるいは「相」の字音ともいう「そう」に断定の助動詞「だ」の付いたもの。
文語では「さう」と書く。
様態の「そうだ」は室町末期から用いられ、古くは体言や活用語の連体形にも付いて用いられた(現代語は連用形に付く)。一方、連用の「そうだ」は江戸時代からみられるが、活用は連用（そうで・そうに）、終止（そうだ・そうな）、連体（そうな）の三形だけである。
「左様」は当て字で、形容動詞「そのようだ」の語幹。

旧い用例では、
「帝王の上（かみ）なき位にのぼるべきさうおはします人の」(源氏物語)
は
「天皇というそれより上のない位に進むべき相がおありになる人で」
という意味で、将に、そう=相つまりlooks(人相、容貌)ということになる。

様は、「ありさま(有様)」の「様」で、「様子(ようす)」の「様」
