You should use some of those Easy German videos on Youtube for sentence mining. They've got people being interviewed out on the street on common subjects, and two sets of subtitles (English and German).
You can add audio to them through the qm anime card method.
They've got a sister channel named Easy Languages where you can get the same sort of videos for just about any language. Here's one in Japanese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8A2q3awnsU

yes but writing also entails reading and stronger connections than if you only ever learn recognition style (source: China and Japan's curious literacy issues due to prevalence of computerisation) which is surely valuable when you have to make up for not having compulsory immersion and from-scratch output as a child at initial exposure to all concepts

your argument is that people end up taking forever to do it, from what i can tell. but that's not really an argument against rtk itself, because rtk is not uniquely difficult. it's just a claim that people don't have the ability to do it properly. which everyone knows is true because most learners are retarded. you could claim the same about any method since so few people have ever gotten good, especially in a reasonable timeframe

>> No.21779493

>>21779463
my argument is that rtk is so tedious that few people who even attempt it make it through and it causes some of those people to quit japanese entirely. so even if it increased efficiency it would really only be the case for a very select few people. i'm not sure what the point of selling rtk as this amazing efficient method is if the vast majority of your audience could never actually do it.

and im saying the vast majority of these people may quit literally anything, because they just don't have the patient, intelligence, or capability to learn japanese. there's nothing uniquely annoying about rtk that makes people want to quit, if anything it's easier than other shit because you have a constant feeling of progression even if it doesn't really correspond to learning japanese. getting thrown into the deep end of reading with no skills is much more frustrating than doing rtk for an hour a day.

a lot longer than it needs to if you insist on writing everything down like a luddite

the more you try to think about japanese in english, the more you're going to sow the seeds of inevitable confusion in your brain
get the basic gist, don't take anything you read in an english grammar guide too seriously, and just get it over with asap so you can start actually learning the language via listening and reading
don't do more than 500 words of core/[insert shitty pre-made deck here]

Yes. An ideal chess player would have as many possible board states, and optimal reactions to them, memorized as they could manage. Therefore the outcome is decided on luck via two factors:
1: Your opponent puts the board into a state you've yet to memorize and now cannot react appropriately
2: Your opponent (via luck) was born with a better memory and knows more board states than you and thus will not lose.

I decided to use my whiteboard today, thinking that it would save time, but dealing with the scanner for it ended up making it take more time overall.

What I might do in future is only scan (whether whiteboard or brush-pen) my reps from the point where Anki shows me new cards (i.e. after I finish the initial set of reviews, since I use the "reviews before new" option).

No it's not. It's all determined by these factors:
1. How good you are at remembering stuff.
2. How good you are at paying attention to stuff.
3. How much motivation you've got for it at any given point in the process.
4. How much time you've got that you can put into it.
It's not luck. It's more like genes, environment, and being a huge otaku/weeb.

I'm not sure how much variation exists within classical Japanese considering the timespan it covers but I don't think Mattvsjapan can read works like Genji Monogatari.

depends on the author but generally the use of vocab is pretty close to modern japanese which makes it easier, and also a lot of specific details about japanese grammatical constructions weren't really well known so even though there's like 5 different forms of past-tense in classical japanese they were used interchangeably by that point

German is as unrelated to Japanese as Hindi is. You're not gonna understand the subtleties of the Japanese language by trying to use RTK keywords for kanji. In many cases, kanji are used more like root words than as independent words, and there can be several words with different meanings tied to the same kanji (like in 本 or 下-下ろす).

there are sites which mirrored (or by other means acquired, i dunno) all/most of the content
e.g. nhentai tsumino hitomi

only problem is the latter two i think have annoying ads where you click some part of the page (e.g. clicking to move to the next page or image of a gallery) and it sends you to some dodgy (and most likely malicious) third party site. the ads are reliant on javascript to work but so are both sites as a whole so you're forced to enable it. all you can do is practise vigilance and try to close the off-site page before it has chance to load.

nhentai is seemingly functional with all scripts blocked so that's the safest bet if you're wary of viruses, but i dunno if it has less content than the other two sites or something like that as a trade-off.

the chart doesn't show any of the scores for the music and other stuff, just the overall total number of points
the video also shows snippets of the pvs for each eroge which gives you an idea of the art, setting, etc., much more useful than just a title and a number like you get on the graph

>>21784116
how the scoring system works (i think):
1 person can vote for up to 6 eroge
when voting for an eroge, you can choose to say what exactly you liked about it out of the following things:
>scenario
>characters
>graphics
>music
>gameplay
BUT you can only choose 2 of these things per eroge, e.g. scenario+characters or characters+graphics, or just characters on its own (or you can pick none at all)
you get 3 bonus points to add to whichever eroge in your list you want, but you can't add more than 2 points to a single one (you don't have to use any of these points if you don't want to)

i had been keeping track of pitch accent for some words but i haven't been using it lately since i decided i can work on it later if i care to. it's just something i hadn't bothered disabling until now.
>why not just use nazeka?
the lack of text highlighting on hover bothers me, and the various elements within the popup look much more similar than in yomichan because yomichan uses colored backgrounds. everything looks much more uniform in nazeka's popup. it takes me like 500+ milliseconds longer to find the information i want at a glance. also i like that yomichan's popup is contained in a box you can scroll through. i understand these are all decisions wareya made so that nazeka is lightweight. it's probably good for most people but i'm autistic.

I was concerned with pitch accent from day -1 because I wanted to pronounce Japanese names within the Russian language as close to the original as possible and that involved figuring out their accentuation. I didn't know anything about the theory of pitch accent; I'd just listen to how they are pronounced. Later on I noticed I would subvocalize sentences like shit if I didn't know the good intonation for them & hearing a new word or phrase pronounced properly would always feel like a revelation so pitch accent ftw honestly it is one of the most intuitive and somehow most rewarding parts of the language.

I need your help in figuring out an effective and efficient way to prep for the exam, while working a day job and balancing other areas of my life. Right now, I'm winging the preparation process.

>is it a strong accent or brusque speech when someone says アタシ ?
It might be some kind of rise in terms of volume, or off-tone speech.
>what about taxonomy animal and plant names
They fall under foreign loanwords, since most of them are derived from Greek/Latin.
>what about this
It might highlight the oddness of that word's specific usage, probably as an allusion to the title of that novel written by 夏目漱石

l2 speakers 120000 when ever language surrounding it is in the tens of millions. Guess there's no getting past it: we're learning a meme language.

I was learning for 6 months without this and noticed a ridiculous uptake in my ability to parse spoken Japanese after immersing myself in it all the time.

Japanese music mostly. Anime on in the background while busy. I turned all my phone contacts into katanaka, and Siri speaks Japanese for me now. My Nintendo Switch is in Japanese even though I don’t know everything on the menus. I write labels on common things around my house to familiarize myself with their Japanese names in the moment. I use Japanese greetings and goodbyes with my friends who have no idea what I’m saying until I explain. I will drone on for five minutes about something I learned to someone who isn’t entirely excited, and just being able to express it aloud helps me retain the info. I pull out my phone and type random shit into the Jisho app literally all day every day. Immersion is priceless.

I am on a discord server with beginners, both Japanese and English learners. It’s a tremendous help too

Though I do feel with the split between eastern and western civilizations, it’s also highly beneficial to study the culture underlying the language. The language very closely mimics the atmosphere of the people, as with most languages I’m sure but it’s very pronounced for me with nihongo!

It's just the best data they have, there are obviously a lot more than 121k speakers. Over 20k people have passed N1 on almost every period since 2H 2010, and JLPT certificates don't expire so I doubt it's the same 20k people taking the test every time.

Can't be the real language of a country, and I doubt you're calling a dead language a meme, so it has to be Esperanto.

Passing N1 doesn't mean you're fluent though, especially with the huge amounts of Chinese people who "learn" Japanese and have an easier time with reading which is the only thing JLPT really tests

Retard, millions of Chinese,Koreans, and Vietnamese know or are learning Japanese. The JLPT is in the hundreds of thousands each year in that group. English speakers learning Japanese in the niche.
