[Anonymous No.]

>>20468407
no the danger is that i've been ""learning japanese"" for a few years but sometimes when i open a new book i literally can't understand anything beyond the most basic gist of what i take in (which is probably based more on "these are the words, guess the meaning" than any actual understanding (which physically hurt me to write just now)). some books are very easy to understand (kino!) but on average when i open a new one it's pure tv static. maybe if i keep pushing through though i'll magically start comprehending more.

why not "きゅうぼだ"?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20469054
Because I associate 久 with 久美子 when it comes to names. I would go with くぼた upon second reading because I would realize くほた sounds weird though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20469104
and what if I tell you that the *true* reading is "くぼた"?
can you say "ah, true, that's right"?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20469123
Nope, then it would have been a lucky guess on my part.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20469137
Well, thing is "kubota". you first said "kuhota", right?. A surname.
Why did it happen? why would it "sound weird" otherwise?

For example, for me, one of the first kanji I learnt was "ta" of "田", as in "森田", which is "morita";
but then, I met a person named "前田", which is "maeda"

Literally what the fuck? how do you deal with this shit?
I am a newbie

[Anonymous No.]

So I've got a fucking question I haven't been able to figure out on my own
Nihonjin are the people, Nihongo is the language, and I understand the way to use 'no' after a noun to make a haphazard adjective, but... what's the adjective form of just 'Japanese'? Like in a sentence like "That's not a very Japanese thing to see" if you're looking at a fat black guy riding a kangaroo and not apologizing to anyone he knocks down. Surely 'nihon no' can't be injected into a sentence like that, there must be a word.

Here’s an app idea: gamify some Japanese aspect that hasn’t been gamified yet.
Like, you could get the core 6k, get the pitch for each word, then make an app that played music or something and you tap high or low as words scroll by to match the pitch then have a bunch of sentences afterwards. Basically a tap to the music game but you get a bit of Japanese exposure and forced attention to the pitches at the same time

why is it that so many in the Japanese learning community are obsessed with learning everything through anki

people who are learning other languages are never this autistic

[Anonymous No.]

because learning other languages are a cakewalk compared to anki.
Japanese has way too many words and too many glyphs to learn without using tools like anki

[Anonymous No.]

>>20471309
The majority of languages are easy to learn. Nobody wants to learn sandnigger speak, so that leaves Chinese, Korean, and Japanese as the big boy second languages. And you bet your ass that people learning any of those languages are using similar programs to Anki, which is basically glorified flash cards.

So I can spend three to four years talking to unmotivated students who think learning the kanji 白 and 犬 is a great achievement, listening to their horrible attempts of speaking in Japanese, speaking horrible parody at Japanese myself, listening to the retarded explanations about the differences between は and が, doing the most bland and boring exercises again and again, and pay for the opportunity to do all of the above? Gee, I wonder why I prefer reading VNs and watching anime while actually learning the fucking language better.
Formal language education is retarded. I learned English through high school and university courses, and believe me, shitposting on 4chan was orders of magnitude more time-effective and more fun.

>people who are learning other languages are never this autistic
I disagree, I was learning Spanish in highschool and it's pretty much flash cards. Actually I'd go ahead and say 99% of classroom language learning is that shit and only 1% actually takes from Krashen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20471526
Still though flash cards are better than passive immersion or immersion with no comprehension.. In the beginning flash cards help but their effectiveness wears off as it does damage on your sub conscious ability to enjoy the process. Also heavily context based srs is damn near as effective as active immersion.

Yea I can agree too. I took nihongo in college and I didn't learn shit. How to understand directions, pay some bills, comment on the weather, and other stuff I almost all forgot because I never used it. You barely learn anything. Like maybe 50 kanji by the end of the course. It killed my persuit of japanese for years. I found ajatt and then fuond djt and finally started actually getting good. After years of bull shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20472765
I tried at 500 and wanted to kill myself but more so due to not being able to grasp sentence structure, where words end and shit like that which doesn't improve by learning more words. Those things only get better through reading, though knowing 1500-2000 words makes reading the most basic shit like NHK easy and yotsuba less tedious. With 2000 words you'll likely only have to look up 5-10 per nhk article for instance.

tldr keep reading

>how many nihongo guides does it take to get fluent
Not too many. You really just need some kind of kanji learning tool, a grammar guide to read, a grammar dictionary to reference during reading, and a english/Japanese dictionary to reference when reading. The rest really is just reading and/or listening to Japanese audio.

The first 50 or so pages of any book you read are always the hardest. But then you learn the book's writing style and the words the author likes to use. The rest of the book will be a lot easier. But then when you switch to another book those first 50 pages will be really difficult again.

こんにちは djt、

I wanted to take a momentnotto wish you a happy [your holiday or not-holiday of choice here], but instead ask you a question: Are you a student of Japanese? A Japanese learner? A 日本語 student? And, how are you even supposed to know or figure that out?

Like everything we do here at WaniKani, the answer is super simple. That doesn't mean it's not difficult, though.

Your identity––that's the thing that makes you... you!––has nothing to dowith what you do at work or school. If you're a plumber from 9am-5pm, that doesn't mean your identity is "being a plumber." Instead, your true identity is the one that exists after 5pm and before 9am. What do you do when you're not doing the things youhaveto do every day? Do you watch TV? Play with your kids?Peruse Facebook? Volunteer at the hospital? Work on your tennis serve?

It's easy to be judgmental and say what's good and what's not, but that's not what I'm here to do. I just want you to think about the following question: "who am I after work and school are done?" (Because, that's who you are!) And, if that answer isn't satisfactory, think "who do I want to be?" The simple answer is to just do that thing when you don't have to do that thing and you will eventually become it. Simple, but hard.

If your answer is "I want to become someone who studies Japanese" (with the future-goal of adding the identity of "someone who is fluent in Japanese" to your repertoire), then we can actually help. Like any other answer, it's simple:Juststudy Japanese when you don't have to study Japanese. Do your WaniKani Lessons and Reviews without fail, every day. Even on Christmas, Crabsmas, Festivus, and/or New Years. You can bet that even on those most special of days, Stephen King will be writing, Lebron James will be working on his free throws, and President Trump will be watching TV.

Aside from that, there are no days off when it comes to thedegradation of your memory and skill. The only way tonotlose to this unending and unfeeling current is to do your Reviews when they arrive.

On that happy note, I hope you have/had a Merry [insert a holiday here]. But, while you're doing that you need tobe "a student of Japanese" and do your reviews. You only have one chance to make progress every single day.

Love

How often is kanji skipped and instead only the Hiragana is used? For example I get confused when I see "わたし" instead of "私" so i'm not sure if the kanji is simply skipped for whatever reason or of it's a different word/meaning. I imagine once you understand the context of the sentence it'll make more sense, but I still wonder if it's something that's re-occurring.

Japanese learning single-handedly disproves the Einstein idiom about insanity. If you just look at the runes enough times over and over you will eventually infer their meaning on your own. Nobody quite grasps how this works but it does. I choose to believe it's some sort of ancient chink magic.

Check the DoJG deck in the guide. It has 1200 cards but half are cloze, half are recognition so it's more like 600. You can delete the cloze cards by going to "manage note types", highlighting 文法, selecting "cards", and deleting the tab that is not "recognition" (I don't remember what it's called).

Don't listen to the other moron. You're not learning grammar in order to output. So long as you know that you're missing something about each grammar point and you're only learning a vague meaning then there's nothing wrong with SRSing them. It's the same as having to look up a grammar point while reading in order to get a vague idea of what's going on, except you already have a vague idea of what's going on and don't have to look it up. Really no difference except you save yourself the hassle while reading.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20479471
Qualia is a meme and does not exist. Consciousness is a mathematical, Platonic structure realised on (equally Platonic but simpler) structures that govern the behaviour of elementary particles, or rather ARE elementary particles. Having the structure that realises consciousness is equivalent to existing. Philosophical zombie is nonsense. A Chinese Room, if properly arranged, has no less consciousness than you or me.

Yea I have a piggyback theory to that. Basically all matter has reactions, attractions, bonds etc. These are just extremely simple forms of life.
