Are you actively listening anon? Well, my experience trying to learn from raw anime as a beginner wasn't good, it was annoying to transcribe unknown words at the time to look them up. If you can make it work then more power to you though.


Besides what the other anon mentioned you could also try checking out song lyrics of music you like, they were a good gateway to me starting out.

KEK are you nuts? Don't you know? Most visual novels should be avoided since they are proprietary!
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-games.html

visual novels are a lot like nofap when you think about it:
•"self-improvement" faggots play them
•cult-like following
•redditors love them
•obsession with number of words read
•does not actually help you with anything
•the language in them is as removed from japanese as korean or chinese
•no success stories
•prevent you from reading real books
•propreitary software
•they make you more miserable in the end

[Anonymous No.]

>>44207044
it's actually ok to play proprietary games if you play them on an isolated machine to make sure that they can't infest or interfere with the rest of your computer. something like a "video game console" for example. just make sure not to give any personal information when you buy this piece of game machinery

you know, maybe someone should make a standardized format for visual novels since they're all structurally so similar so you don't need to install hundreds of useless programs to deliver the content
then again good old HTML would probably do just fine for that purpose, who the fuck knows why since the early days of the industry they decided to make separate programs for each fucking release

[Anonymous No.]

reading is the easiest part of the language, especially with dekinai krugers reducing it to mere kanji recognition and reading recall with the help of idiot cards. it's not real reading because you can't even read out loud fluently or explain the nuances in the text.

active listening and transcription on the other hand require actual japanese comprehension, which is why the noobs in djt cower away from it. it's why you never see "listen more" posted as advice even though real gains are only made through your ear.

almost none of you faggots can transcribe jidaigeki, or anything that isn't sol dialogue for that matter. you suck, so shut the fuck up and stop giving advice

[Anonymous No.]

emphasizing reading as opposed to listening is the pragmatic choice, since there are a lot of media that have text but no audio (linnies, vinnies mainly)
this goes doubly since as you say it's easier than listening
why should I develop my listening skills if it doesn't make any more of the culture accessible to me and I have no delusions about moving to Japan?

why do people often fail to learn a second language after japanese using the ajatt method? Like matt vs japan failing to learn Chinese. Is it an interest thing, or do you think there's something in the method that actually hinders people somehow?

[Anonymous No.]

>>44211410
ajatt itself is a sucky method. RTK, Sentence Cards, all whitenoise listening, avoiding reading before you've listened... all lead to failure. Matt, Aussieman, Garyben, all learned Japanese through sentence cards autism. none of them really read or did true immersion learning. Combine that, with a lack of motivation, and suddenly other languages become impossible

[Anonymous No.]

>>44211300
Beginner: trying to consume native content is just a painful grind, no matter the crutches you use.
Intermediate: consuming native content is enjoyable even without the ezmode settings like japanese subtitles and instant lookups. but you're still using reference regularly.
Advanced: can produce something not entirely unlike japanese and only need reference for uncommon things.

can you explain what you mean by whitenoise listening? do you just mean not paying attention while listening to content?

That’s an interesting question. The phrase “どこが正義の味方よ” literally means “where is the ally of justice?” but it is used as a rhetorical question to express disbelief or contempt for someone who claims to be a good person or to act for a noble cause. It implies that the speaker thinks the other person is hypocritical, dishonest or self-righteous.

The phrase “‘good guy’ my ass” is an informal and vulgar way of saying the same thing in English. It conveys the speaker’s anger or frustration with someone who pretends to be virtuous or moral, but is actually not. It also uses a rhetorical question, but with a different word order and tone.

The thought process behind translating “どこが正義の味方よ” as “‘good guy’ my ass” is to preserve the meaning and the emotion of the original phrase, while adapting it to the target language and culture. The translator might have considered other possible translations, such as “Who are you kidding?” or “You call yourself a good guy?” but decided that “‘good guy’ my ass” was more suitable for the context and the audience.

According to goo国語辞書, 正義の味方 means “a person who saves the weak and punishes the wicked”. It is often used to refer to heroes in fictional stories. There is no clear definition, but it is said that it became popular from the theme song of the TV show “Moonlight Mask” (1958) by Kawachi Yasunori1. Wikipedia also mentions that there are many examples of using this phrase before “Moonlight Mask”, dating back to the 19th century.

I hope this helps you understand the translation better. :)

There's exactly one and I mean, she is the MC. If you wanna call it fantasy then I guess whatever gets your rocks off? She lives in a normal world and is just really good at cutting people in half but that's about it until she arrives in the actual fantasy world. This is almost like saying that Rurouni Kenshin is a fantasy story only on the basis that all the characters and villains are crazy strong and do wack shit like putting oil bags in their stomach, blocking bullets, or punching rocks into dust. I really just don't think that a single, strong little girl is a fantasy indicator

The best way to learn Japanese is to follow Tatsumoto's guide to Japanese. Seriously, this guide is a hidden gem! It's got everything you need – grammar, vocabulary, tools. Tatsumoto breaks it down in a way that's easy to understand, and the anki reps help reinforce what you've learned. Trust me, I achieved fluency thanks to this guide. So, fellow anons, give Tatsumoto's guide a shot and unlock the wonders of the Japanese language! Ganbatte, minna-san!
