I've been keeping up with vocab, not as much grammar as I should be doing and going bit by bit each day. I finally feel like that this is far more possible than I made it out to be at first, even if I'm only a few months in.

I've made huge progress too. I'm already able to read basic stuff and it feels good to hear dialogue I can completely understand now. I'm not doing any particular learming strategy just trying to do the things that seem to help, being persistant, and coming at it the way a kid would learn, cuppled with my experience and willpower as an adult. The 11th marks my 5 month mark.

I did RTK and it seems to help with vocabulary acquisition, although it’s only because I know to look for radicals.
If I were to do it all again I would only memorize the radicals and how to guess the meaning and pronunciation from a kanji/compound.
Then I’d have have only spent a week learning about kanji before learning Japanese instead of like 3 months— while also making me hate it, and believing that I was learning Japanese when I wasn’t, and getting frustrated that I couldn’t see any results even though I was spending hours every day “studying japanese” haha

[Anonymous No.]

Seriously if you ever wanna gatekeep Japanese just tell the unworthy weeb that it’s important to do kanji first, and while you’re at it, give them bad grammar explanations too.

[Anonymous No.]

as a chinese speaker i can say that knowing kanji and chinese vocabulary helps with acquisition of japanese because you start mostly add new readings to a vocabulary knowledge base which makes bootstrapping into japanese itself very easy

that answer probably wasn't satisfying so here:
while a character might say いえ or うち it's written 家 either way. いえ refers to a physical place and うち is more emotional: "i live here" vs "this is my home" type of thing. it hasn't been relevant in anything i've ever read but there you go

I think it' very frustrating that many kanji have different readings and meanings. One argument to learn kanji is exactly to have less problems with homophones. But I think it only makes matters worse because it adds another layer of confusion. Also so far I dont really think that homophones in spoken language are that much of a problem. Often the meanings are kinda similar like with ちかく. To me near and soon are similar enough. Others that diverge more, are mostly pronounced differently or are completely silly like jappari. The only difficulty is the learning strategy for this. When using a premade anki deck this leads to quite some false positives until you finally get whats going on. But having all meanings directly on the card is a bit challenging as well.

[Anonymous No.]

I started learning Japanese about a year ago. I was learning kanji and vocabulary through my Japanese textbooks, but very little stuck. Memorizing the kanji felt like an impossible task and I was close to giving up. Then I started WaniKani, which made learning kanji simple and actually fun. The SRS and leveling structure made sure I never accidentally overwhelmed myself. The mnemonics ensured that every kanji and vocabulary would stick in my memory. After a year, I can now read over 1,000 kanji. I can navigate Japanese websites with comfort. I can read some of my favorite manga and actually enjoy it. Most importantly, at least in my opinion, I can put more focus into trying to learn Japanese grammar, knowing that WaniKani has me covered when it comes to kanji.

Takeaway from a botched attempt to communicate with a party in FFXIV: It's not a good idea to omit information just because you would omit it in English. They won't necessarily fill in the blanks as you'd expect. You should be very specific until you know for sure that it's normal to abbreviate a little in that particular case.

I'd say that's wrong. If you want to git gud at production, the only way is to do lots of production.

This
My "kanji knowledge" has skyrocketed when I started reading for real.
When you actually get out there and start learning the language you realize that knowing a kanji's meaning is basically useless more than 95% of the time. Rare kanji are an exception but as a beginner you shouldn't really be paying too much attention to those at all

See you fucking retards? He never claims to have invented the input hypothesis. He's acknowledging that he's just trying to popularize it. Kaufmann tries to do the same thing, and Kaufmann has done a pretty decent job of it but the input hypothesis still isn't very popular all things considered.

Not sure what you mean here. In the context of a meaning for 実食？ No, it's not accurate. 本当 means like "in fact/reality" "in actuality" "seriously" and used a lot in casual sensse for many expressions, but 本当に食べます would have the nuance like "I'm seriously going to eat X" like someone is doubting you would eat it or something. Not really correct here.

実際に食べます
This is a more accurate synonymous expression to 実食. Lots of times on stupid vlog youtube shit they will say often "実際に食べてみます when showcasing new food ettc.

Why do professional footballs players spend time in the gym lifting weights when they could just use that time to practice more football? Meditation allows you to fundamentally increase the power of your concentration, which allows you to take more away from each minute you spend with Japanese. The hour a day you spend meditating instead of spending more time with Japanese will lead to faster improvements in the long term

Goes back to the original point. >>20337179 The method itself is also tried and true. Learning in different forms and making connections through usage is much more efficient and you'll retain more information usable as knowledge as compared to something like flash cards which relies on repetition and memorization, which is mainly meant to help in the short term. Nothing wrong with doing both but if you had to choose one it's very clear which has more benefits. Also complaining about time consumed when learning a language is silly seeing as it takes an eternity anyways, especially japanese for native english speakers.

My first 4 months of my studies i dedicated around 6 hours a day to it since I had so much free time, these past few months i have been dedicating atleast 3 hours a day because of School and my full time job. The Reason Japanese has changed my life is because it taught me how important persistence is, It helped me plan my life and actually prioritize whats important rather than laying down and wasting time doing nothing. I learned self discipline by learning japanese and with that self discipline I forced my self to lose weight and goto the gym. I am so happy that I have started learning this beautiful language and I am glad I came across this subreddit. I will be taking my n3 exam in July!! Thank you all for reading.

Learning japanese has perhaps been the worst thing that has happened to me. I am 29 year old, I began learning japanese around 7 years ago. My first 4 weeks of my studies i dedicated around 6 hours a day to it since I had so much free time, these past few months i have been dedicating barely 30 minutes a day because I resent it. The Reason Japanese has ruined my life is because I’ve spent so much time on something I am too introverted to make proper use of. I learned I have limited self discipline and learning Japanese used up much of that self discipline that I stopped caring about losing weight and going to the gym. I Should never have started learning this language nor started coming to 4Channel. I will be taking my n2 exam in July again. Thank you all for reading

So you regret studying for a few weeks of your life seven years ago? Do you also regret consuming media you enjoy? Have you been keeping your studies going just to pass the JLPT? At this point you should either have fun reading or watching JP media or just cut your losses and take up a new more fulfilling hobby.

Check under Languages & input, Virtual keyboard. I have only "Gboard" there. Touch this and you have "Languages" again, you can then "add keyboard" there. If you have English and Japanese installed in Gboard, a globe icon shows up at the bottom left of the keyboard that lets you flip back and forth. It's pretty nice!

Shirokuma cafe, it's literally the best.

Do you guys have any recommendations on how I could start mining? I'm started doing vncore and now I feel ready to start reading. But I'd like to have something I can carry with me, so print or mobile and have an easy way to make my own deck with it. It should be as basic as possible, so that I don't need to look everything up all the time.
