what can i do better?

god i wish i knew japanese

>>44681920
how do i even know what im reading is correct. how do i know that im reading it right.

people passing N1, reading vinnies and linnies comfortably and watching anime with no subs in under a year is definitely someone who "made it" fast.
people who take 10 years to do the same are obviously doing it really slow.
so, what is the middle of this bell curve? 2 years? 3?

>not being able to read japanese
wouldn't be me

>started learning Japanese to read bara comics faster
学び続けるべきだ

>>44681993
How do you know what you just wrote was correct, that you wrote it right?

>>44682029
listen 17C we don’t need that kind of attitude towards the newbie. he’s asking a legitimate question here

I've heard you also learn a new language faster if you already multiple languages, don't know how true it is.

>>44682115
It’s not true at all. ESL’s just say that to sound cool, which is hard for them given their accent.

Is aniwatch not working for anyone else?

こんばんは

>>44681993
same way u deal with english pronunciation. There are sometimes consistent rules for different vocab sources, on vs kun or native english words vs old french borrowings, latin/greek crap, etc. but with exceptions abound in all of it. Words that use both on and kun readings are not really that common. mostly stuff with 場 ive seen

manga library is down. anyone know where it is? i have reading i want to do right now...

>>44681993
if you meant the meaning
the best you can do as a beginner is see that it makes sense and doesnt contradict other lines

>>44681993

I was learning german as an ESL and it fucked my english beyond repair.

have you every reread something you read super early on and realized that you didn't actually read it, you just created some fanfiction in your head?

>New imabi site is bright fucking white.
Why? The old site wasn't an eye gouger, so I assumed he had some common sense but I guess I was mistaken.

>Seeing native Japanese get filtered by kanji in 漢字でGO
Jesus Christ, this language is truly a never ending sea of torment.

>>44682435
dark text on a light background is easier to read than light text on a dark background.

you can find tons of illiterate english natives too that doesnt mean english is hard

>>44682465
contrast works the same in both directions what are you talking about

>>44682452
You watching a ブイチューバー? Not too surprised either way. Even in English, there's a lot of vocabulary that would trip up adults who aren't avid readers. Most people don't read many literary things in any language.

I can't even learn conversational japanese...

>>44682535
I would think the difference is that, even if you don't know what the word means, you can still read a complex word in English. You may or may not pronounce it right, but you can at least attempt to read the word out. But if you don't know the moji that make up the characters then you are just straight filtered in trying to read the word.

>>44682568
Is there a practical difference though? Sure the English reader could sound out the word, and the better read they are they better guess they could make when sounding out the word, but they still wouldn't know what it means just like the Japanese reader.
Also, the Japanese reader could "sound" out the new word by using readings of the kanji they have seen before. Even for completely new, never before seen kanji, they could make a guess of how it sounds with well read reader being able to make better guesses, just like in English.

>>44682115
>I've heard you also learn a new language faster if you already multiple languages
Quite true. You already know the drill and most of the groundwork is already done for you, so all you have to concentrate on are the language-specific bits and blending in with natives.
You start thinking less about "how do you say this sentence in another language" and more in terms of "what would a native say in this case?"

>>44682519
every time this is researched the same conclusion is reached: dark text on a light background is easier to read than light text on a dark background. this is true for multiple measures too, speed, how long you can read before you get tired, etc.

>>44682589
you're more likely fucked for kunyomi but otherwise yeah there are still similarities in sounding things out

>>44682604

>>44682604
>dark text on a light background is easier to read
Big fat lie perpetuated by boomers in offices. The truth of the matter is:
>black text on a white background became the norm with WYSIWYG editors (to avoid printing erorrs)
>dark text on a bright background on emissive displays SUCKS
>bright text on a dark background causes the pupil to dilate, which requires adjusting text to be thinner. likewise, dark text on a bright background requires thicker type weights
>lastly, people with certain types of astigmatism fare a lot better with darker backgrounds

>>44682633
Astigmatism sufferer here, I'm not sure what types would fare better with dark mode, but white backgrounds definitely make it easier for me. I never made the connection that dark mode was causing more eye strain until my ophthalmologist pointed it out.

>>44682633
>dark text on a bright background on emissive displays SUCKS
This is the main factor. You can bitch about the perceived difference in contrast or whatever as much as you want but 500 candles of white bullshit is physically painful. I can't wait until OLED monitors are ready for mass adoption.

>>44682667
I have irregular astigmatism. Fonts on white backgrounds are too fucking thin for me so I switch dark mode on whenever possible.
>>44682677
>OMEME
Sucks. The only good thing I got out of them is that app poojeetlopers are now forced by corporate to include a pitch-black dark mode to avoid burn-in.

as for me? i just see

Once every couple of months I feel horrible the whole day so I "cheat" on anki, If the word has an extended vowel but I think it didn't or vice versa, I mark it correct instead of wrong. If I get the concept of a word vaguely right, but I'm thinking of another similar word, I'll mark correct instead of wrong. Sometimes I get an obvious word completely wrong, but I cope and I think I'll get it right next time since it's an easy word, so I mark it correct instead of wrong.
The only reason "cheat" is in quotes instead of straight up calling it cheating is that I don't just mark every word correct, it's just that the standard is way lower on that day than it usually is.

>>44682452
>native Japanese get filtered by kanji in 漢字でGO
Yeah, because we all know the average Japanese person is totally used to seeing shit like 昂る, 嵩む, 鯣, 瓢箪, 迦葉仏, 屑い(see 潔い), 弖爾乎波, 忌忌しい, 明々, 眩暈い, 野次馬, 諮る/議る, etc. on a daily basis

Should I enroll in an introductory Japanese course at my uni?
Probably bad for my GPA but I want to force myself to learn before my 19 year-old orbitofrontal cortex develops to its full extent.

never gonna get used to seeing people discuss japanese like this here
guess og won in the end

>>44682756
>2nd year of Japanese course
>barely finished MNN 1 (unit 27 right now)

>>44682837
Read something easy that you find enjoyable and mine everything you don't understand. Yotsuba is a popular choice. Rereading something that you've read in English is also an option.

holy shit the core 6k is so worthless past the beginning. I am halfway through the core 6k deck. I uploaded my progress to jpdb to see the known words % on various VNs and LNs I want to read. Looks good I think. Then, I notice an option to force set every card in the core 6k deck to "never forget" meaning that it is now considered known to jpdb. Now I excitedly check the same VNs and LNs to see how much the known words % will improve when I finish the core 6k deck. It literally only went up by a percentage point or two. Most VNs and LNs are in the high 70s and low 80s percent, so one or two percent is not big in the same way going from 98% to 99% would be. No, the core 6k deck is just shit. I should've listened.
It's one thing for others to tell you something and another for you to see it yourself.

core6k and word counting are both flawed because no one needs separate cards for miru mieru miseru

any site/communities you guys recommend for practicing speech? I want to try talking to random japanese people to get speaking practice

>>44683081
I agree, but the stats are still fun to track for the motivating factor. If anki didn't have a stats page for me to track my retention rate and my growing mature cards, I probably would've stopped anki a long time ago.

>>44683097
Chaturbate worked for me

>>44683097
in japan there is a community that speaks japanese

>>44681920
is there an addon that forces Anki (2.1.49) to skip a day? like move all reviews 1 day forward so I don't have to do 2 days worth of reviews a day every time I'm trying to fix my neet sleep schedule?

I already tried "Migaku Anki Add-on" and their "day off" just doesn't do anything at all. maybe I'm retarded and forgot something, but it just does nothing. I can't use their stand alone version because it doesn't work for my Anki version (2.1.49) which I can't update. the other one I found "Postpone card's review" also isn't available for my Anki version.

https://files.catbox.moe/qc87ch.mp4

what dialect are they speaking? they are in the niigata region

>>44683162
I don't understand why you'd ever have to do 2 days in a row? Say you normally sleep midnight to 8 am and do anki at 6 pm. With a neet schedule, you sleep later and later maybe sleep 6 am and wake up at 2 pm. Then you sleep at noon and wake up at 8 pm, etc. Either way, you are still doing anki after you wake up. Give some real numbers in an example so I can understand, cause when I try to reset my sleep schedule, I usually don't have this problem.
Maybe try changing the "Next day starts at" setting to something later? I have mine set to 5 hours past midnight so even if I hardcore procrastinate and sleep late, I can still do my anki without breaking the streak. You can also change that number before the day ticks over. One day I came home really late and increased the setting from 5 hours past midnight to 7 so I could do anki before I slept. Since I didn't sleep, I don't consider the day over yet so I didn't think of it as cheating the streak. The next day I simply changed the setting back to where I wanted it.

>>44683097
go outside if you live in a place that has japanese people

>>44683225
Due to various reasons, I entirely rotate my sleep schedule at least 4 times a month. Sometimes I have to stay up for 24 hours a day, sometimes it happens slowly an hour or two a day. Issue is that I'll 100% have to deal with double reviews a day at least a handful of times a month.

>Next day starts at
I already do that. Every single time I wake up I take a look at the "Next day starts at" time. I absolutely loathe getting spammed with double reviews midsession since I don't do them all in one sitting sometimes. I just don't want to have to do double the work a single day, for something that seems so easy to fix.

>>44682432
only happens if you're low iq

>>44683254
Just use jpdb for your SRS in that case. You can transfer over your anki progress into jpdb. jpdb uses an actual forgetting curve so it doesn't matter when you review a word. If you review a word as soon as it is due, the interval increases the normal amount. If you review a word later than when it was due, the interval will increase more since the system expected you to forget it.
To explain the system more accurately (don't read if you don't care about the explanation), for every card the system has a predicted forgetting curve. Some fake numbers for example: with a newly learned card, the curve might be after one day 80% chance to remember, after one week 50% chance to remember, after one month 25% chance to remember and so on. A mature card might have a one day 99% chance to remember, after one week 95% chance to remember, after one month 90% chance to remember and so on.
When you answer the flashcard, the system updates the forgetting curve of that card. It updates the curve more the more wrong the prediction was. If the system predicted a 1% chance you get something right and you got it right, it will heavily change the forgetting curve and same if you got something wrong that the system predicted a 99% chance you got right. The system also updates the curve more or less depending on if you hit the easy or hard button, so those buttons are actually useful on jpdb to make the algorithm better. JPDB doesn't just send you reviews all the time, otherwise you'd be doing a bunch of pointless reviews that you are 99% accurate on that don't change the forgetting curve much. You can adjust how many reviews you get with the "Review interval length" setting. It doesn't change the algorithm of the forgetting curve, it just changes the threshold on the forgetting curve for when a card is considered due.
So, it doesn't actually matter when exactly you do reviews on jpdb, just that you do them.
I would use jpdb, but I like using anki on my phone. JPDB can be used fine in your mobile browser, I just don't like it compared to a separate app that is designed for mobile. Also, I hate having all my progress saved in one website that could go down at any time. jpdb has lasted a decent while and has a fairly big patreon, so it probably won't disappear, but it is still bad. JPDB does have the superior algorithm, so purely on that, it wins over anki.

Why isn't it こんばんわ？

ha is a holdover from pre kana orthography reform

>>44682568
I actually think it's easier for the english native learning japanese than the other way around. with japanese you just have to look up the word and find its yomikata, which isn't perfect but is close enough to being able to recognize the same word when you hear it. a japanese person learning english wouldn't be able to trust anything short of pasting the word into google translate to hear what it sounds like. I think early reading without audio is actually a really bad idea for learning English compared to Japanese

>>44685312
What?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_kana_orthography#Current_usage
>The use of を wo, へ he, and は ha instead of お o, え e, and わ wa for the grammatical particles o, e, wa is a remnant of historical kana usage.

>>44685377
I guess I'll just keep the correct spelling in mind and ignore all that nonsense for now.

>>44685377
they totally pronounce it wo occasionally though

they pronounce baai as bawai sometimes too
trust no one

>>44685331
>with japanese you just have to look up the word and find its yomikata
As if Japanese pronunciation was straightforward (wait, was it aME or Ame? Was that word odaka or heiban? Was I supposed to do 鼻濁音? Is it Mizu or Midzu? (it's the latter))
And then you have the untold amounts of time wasted to input a word whose reading you don't know using handwriting input or radical search. Sure, you can try OCR and texthookers to save time, but those are not always available.
>a japanese person learning english wouldn't be able to trust anything short of pasting the word into google translate to hear what it sounds like
You have stuff like the IPA, taking advantage of minimal pairs, pronunciation patterns (-ate is usually /eɪt/, -ight is /aɪt/, etc.), etymology (e.g. entrepreneur comes from french).
I'd worry more about non-obvious stuff like strong forms vs weak forms (e.g. from is /frɒm/ when stressed, /fr(ə)m/ when not stressed). Thankfully, learners quickly figure this out unconsciously because it's obviously impossible for natives to speak fast using strong forms all the time.

>>44685431
>>44685434
This is very much dialectal and nonstandard.

>>44685515
yeah i've seen some natives real mad about it on hinative

>>44685331
or they can just learn IPA. english has fewer sounds than there are hiragana characters

>>44685531
I've seen を pronounced as "wo" in careful speech or singing but otherwise it's very uncommon.

>>44682115
I can't necessarily speak on how "things just clicking easier" would play a role, since I'm certain that has more to do with the structure and flow of the other languages.
I can however say that if you've already been thrive the process of learning a language, you already "know the drill" and have more reasonable goals. Kinda like picking up saxophone after you've played violin for some time, or getting back into running after you've been away for a long while. You know what progress will look like and the effort required to get you there. In that sense, it's much easier since you're aware of the journey and the demands.

I'm sure there's also some brain-science thing that makes it easier if you work the language centers properly, but that's just speculation on my part.

it's probably best to aim for 0.8 and then optionally increase that up to 0.9 if you prefer getting more answers right for the cost of having more reviews.
and by prefer I mean that a higher retention rate will likely make reps more comfortable plus it'll make you a bit more likely to recognize any given word from your deck when reading.

https://youtu.be/a7Gj28zJNRM?t=936

what dictionary is this and is there a guide on how set up google sheets like this? the copy and paste thing

for me personally it was 3780016

>>44690467
what do i do with those numbers

>>44690458
Start by learning words and if you find later you have difficulty differentiating stuff like 待持侍 then give radicals a go.

>>44690458
Radicals help me break down shit into manageable parts.
歪み? That's just 不正 (excuse the pun)

>>44690526
Forgot it was about radicals, not characters. Anyway, 学 is just ⺍(つかんむり) + 冖(ワかんむり) + 子(こ)

tfw i literally look like i have モブ顔 in photos

we don't accept negativity here. it's called having high powerlevel hiding skill

phew I guess that's enough for today.

>can read kana slowly now
>inner voice is the narrator from Mushishi

>>44690629
what are you reading.
i can slowly read kana as well but i don't know how to learn words.

>>44690641
ももたろう. I don't understand a single thing though.

>>44690703
very based post, you're learning a lot of culture tho im sure of it

How do I get an old Japanese couple adopt me so I can live the Japanese NEET life?

>>44689805
wtf i fsrs rescheduled my cards and it gave me over 1k cards to review

>>44690898
that means you don't know the cards as well as you think you do. more specifically, those cards have a lower retention rate than what you requested fsrs to aim for.

>>44681920
Should I be mining absolutely everything I don't know?

>>44691032
no, you need to prioritize frequent words to some extent

why do people say 2hu if its more like toe hoe

>>44691148
Touhou から o をとると tuhu になり、tu を発音つながりで数字の 2（two: トゥー）で代用することで 2hu となった。

4hcan や Tumblr やその他東方ファンが集まるブログやオンラインフォーラムやウェブサイトなど、海外の東方ファンの間で使用されるスラング。

why call it toe hoe when it's not even about toe hoes?

>>44691173
still doesn't answer my question

>>44691174
how big is her fucking foot

900 vocab, basic grammar. what should i start to immerse with at this stage? i dont care about enjoyment ill enjoy anything jap related

>>44691032
be a little selective about what you mine. make sure the sentence makes sense on its own and you under everything but the word your mining. it'll make reviews go by easier

>>44691229
I started with stuff aimed at children. TV, book, video games. Stuff that requires little vocabulary and low reading comprehension while you're building up foundations

so they call it ゲーム機, i had always assumed it'd be a loanword like コンソール

>>44691502
isn't it a game machine, is it?

>>44691417
Anything meant for children that won't make me so bored I don't retain a goddamn thing?

HelloTalk is not so bad if you know how to talk to people

how difficult is it to go back and play shit like the old pokemon games which are entirely in kana

>>44691502
It's been around for a long ass time

>>44691502
Why is the console itself called 本体? Why not just say ゲーム機? Or does the latter also include stuff like controllers, memory cards, etc. that come in the box?

>>44691598
If you already understand stuff its very easy. Actually the part that challenges your vocab the most is not the mental hiragana conversion of the dialogue but the move names, cause it's mostly stuff that's always written in kanji outside of pokemon. Even that's pretty easy, it's like a fun check to distinguish between words you've actually acquired and words you can understand before acquiring thanks to kanji

>>44691598
>play shit like the old pokemon games which are entirely in kana

That's all.

>>44692045
You really are 鈍い(にぶい).

is it worth playing pokemon for kana reading, ive already been playing it a bit it's just mentally fucking taxing

>>44689542
im enjoying keion at 31 youre a retarded teenager

>>44692156
no, just start reading stuff with kanji if yuo want to read

>>44692156
Just watch the gameplay videos. sirankedo :3

idk i didn't do anything pure kana just do something fun

>>44692151
you're so learnèd and wise for understanding puns
(sorry I forgot to say "yeah das a cool pun")

>>44692156
No reason to do that because stuff using kanji has kana in it too so you'll get kana practice regardless

fuck bilingualmanga.net just got taken down, it was the only site that had what I wanted to read. been looking for a decent alternative but can't find anything, does anyone know any?

>>44692396

Does the jp eshop accept american credit cards? If not how am I suppose to get dragon quest in jp. It's on sale for 3 bucks on the nintendo eshop. I really don't want to waste time trying to pirate switch games my switch isnt even hacked or whatever

>>44692886
You might not even be able to hack it, last I checked they don't have an exploit for the newer system versions.

>>44692396
Last I checked that website was shit and had none of the series I wanted to read, so I can't say I'll exactly miss it, but sorry anon, why not ask here and see if anyone has it or can find it? What series was it?

>>44692112
good manga

>>44692886
try it and let us know

>>44692886
no, you have to buy point cards for the jp e-shop

crazy how you constantly have to jump through hoops to pay for raw media because of taxes trade laws localization contracts pricing inconsistencies etc
or if you pirate everything is simple as usual

for a while you could buy game download codes and gift cards on amazon.co.jp with western credit cards without the overcharging that resellers put on top, but they put an end to that as well
had to write with the japanese customer support because one of my orders was stuck on processing and they told me my credit card was no longer usable for this content and deleted the order

>>44693072
stfu mlen

>>44693109
>>44693192
maybe ill just play whats on stram with jp language options. does this mean i wouldnt be able to buy shit on amazon jp either?

>>44693289
>does this mean i wouldnt be able to buy shit on amazon jp either?
nta but i assume nothing significant has changed for physical goods and the old situation was it depends on the seller

yh i think im back bros

>>44693289
you can buy pretty much everything else, but if you check prepaid cards or switch download codes they now all have this

you can still get those point cards really easily on other sites like playasia, iirc they mail you the code right away

also dunno there might be services that use a japanese credit card and address to buy stuff for you

lol theres an easy solution

probably way cheaper to make a friend

>make a friend
not easy

networking is ez bro

if you're functional enough to want to pay money for media then you can probably make friends. sirankedo :3

>>44693535
Hard when you're not sociopathic enough to pretend to enjoy someone's company to benefit from them

im too functional to want to waste money on media

>>44693550
you have to go back

every interaction is transactional lil bro

even these ones? on djt?

yeah bro even an altruist gets something from helping others or he wouldn't do it

every post i make is with the intention of decreasing someones nihongoryoku or to baiting someone into increasing mine

all my posts are part of a social experiment

there is no such thing as an altruist on djt

yeah always be careful of posters ""helping"" others 90% of them are freaks

the only good advice that a true djter is gonna give you is read more and watch dolly sensei

おはようおにいちゃん

read more utuge

i dont often give advice but when i do...

i watch nakige jikkyous to lmao @ women

you mean i can just watch other people read vinnies and i don't even have to read them myself

i couldnt do that id fall in love

i couldn't do that i'd start masturbating

same thing

for me its namasensei

once saw a niconico jikkyou of sayooshi by a woman and the comments were calling her cute for not being able to read the kanij

why do nips insist on retarded region locks for language settings? do they hate money?

>>44694897
the /djt/ method works after all

>>44694897
awaiting your travel blog

Here in this example 渡る is taking a direct object. Does that mean while intransitive verbs don't require direct object, they still can if they want to?

>>44695090
を is also used with intransitive movement verbs to show the path the motion moves through or the point it started from
like 家を出る leave the house or 前を通る pass the front, go through the front
it's a separate usage of を than the direct object usage and doesn't mark an object here

>>44695134
I get it now, thanks anon

>>44697135
across 28 volumes so not that many actually
if it was 5 volumes yeah it would be nuts

>>44697135
Keep in mind that JPDB counts particles, names, double counts words if they're also written in katakana, has entries for common combinations, etc. So you'll probably have significantly less cards that you consider words. Still a lot, but not 38k.

irregular reading is the best part of nihong0 cuz is the biggest filter ever

imagine japanese without kanji or without any chinese influence at all, i wonder what it would be like
would this thread still be autistic

>>44698918
>imagine japanese without kanji
Impossible. You'd sooner have to realize a bizarro world when the Japanese were humble enough to adopt Hangul as their lingua franca instead.

>>44698805
Isn't it just particular face?

>>44698790
you can do active listening while walking around you know

>>44699628

"Those sounds, simple and few in number, are very well suited to notation by an alphabet, and it is perhaps one of the tragedies of oriental history that the Japanese genius did not a thousand years ago rise to its invention. Certainly when one considers the truly appalling system which in the course of centuries they did evolve, that immense and intricate apparatus of signs for recording a few dozen little syllables, one is inclined to think that the western alphabet is perhaps the greatest triumph of the human mind."

I am aware of only one other person who is in a similar situation to me, and he was translating the re:zero novel before he had other priorities. He was also one of the few novel translators who were successful on Patreon, earning almost $2,000 per month, as reported by TranslationChicken.
I've been studying Japanese for almost 4 years, but despite being able to read and watch almost anything like i would in English or French, I am utterly incapable of speaking or writing any Japanese. It's not that I'm shy or anything, but I couldn't speak grammatically correct Japanese if someone held a gun to my head. Additionally, I don't think in Japanese the same way that I do in French or English.

It's not like I care; I dislike Japanese people and wouldn't interact with them anyway. However, it's funny how the brain functions. I also have trouble producing the kanas from memory, but i instantly recognize them when i see them (it's not even recognition at this point, the kanas are like the regular alphabet to me). I can say with pride that I'm a retard who CAN accomplish what he strives for now that my journey through Japan is almost over. I used to feellike a mythical retard being unable to produce things N6 could.

>>44695090
yea intransitive verbs sometimes use wo to mark the place like を出る. still this doesn't make them a tadoushi afaik
