She died.

[Anonymous No.]

After over 1½ years of rigorous daily SRSing, I suddenly stopped 2 weeks ago so my schedule has gone to shit. I feel like I can read Japanese somewhat well and can pick some words just by reading, but I still have to count on JParser for about half the words (depends on the game). I guess it works, but it's still nowhere near SRS in terms of learning.

How long did /jp/ rep before stopping and feeling satisfied?

[Anonymous No.]

Is it bad ive been learning my kana for a month now? I dont count myself as having learned them untill I can see them in a sentence and can, without having to stop or spend too much time, read them, though.

[Anonymous No.]

I think I quit, for now. Not because I keep going on and off but because the end of the world is coming, for my country anyway. I can't wait to make some new friends behind those nice spiky fences. Please share your rations with me equally!

[Anonymous No.]

I hadn't done my reps for close to a month, but I just started back up last night. I was surprised how little I actually failed.

Hopefully I will be able to keep it up for the next several months.

>>8875298
That will come with time.

If you are able to actually write them out move on to doing something else.

Is it good practice to write on practice sheets, even if I have no intention of doing calligraphy or handwriting in japanese of any sort? My handwriting is awful, but Id do anything to help me learn..

Yup, if you are able to scribble out a character on demand it means you actually know the character, instead of just being able to recognize it.

I do write each of the new Kanji about 15 times, but I somehow can't even write those I did two weeks ago, which I remember very well with Yomi and Jukugo.

Oh boys, nearing the 1500 kanji mark, to think I only need to learn a 1000 more.

I can't wait until I get learn other things because kanji is a steep hill and a heavy rock.

The thought of grinding vocab after this tedious battle really discouraged me.

[Anonymous No.]

At what order did you guys learn stuff in
I've just finished of the Kana and I'm not sure if I should be learning Kanji or vocab at this point.

[Anonymous No.]

>mfw I started learning katakana a few days ago

This thing was designed by idiots or sadists. The syllables aren't distinct enough, and it's incredibly difficult to memorize them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8878560
Kanji and vocab at the same time. Learn about 400 kanji and then start learning vocab with the kanji you already know.

>>8878592
After awhile you will read your kana as fast as you read this, it doesn't take long if you try to do it daily.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, I'm using Anki every day. I've already more or less learned hiragana, but I still read very slowly. I should start doing some reading excercises.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8878592
Wow, you are stupid.

[Anonymous No.]

I guess I should, 200 is already a lot, doesn't need to go higher.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, silly me for bothering to learn something as unimportant as katakana. All I really need to do to learn Japanese is to watch anime all day long.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8878711
All those have noticeable differences if you have been doing kanji awhile.

Katakana is also easy if you actually play a VN with gameplay or a japanese video game, free katakana lessons.

Get on the level of hanzi, some characters are so mashed together they are hard to even understand unless you can figure out their context.

I finished Hiragana and Katakana and they are fun if you ask me.
Started Kanji which seems to be the real challenge but I think I could keep it up.
Do you guys learn your Kanji with meanings only or do you learn it's onyomi too ?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8878592

well, i learnt hiragana and katakana 2 years ago, it isn't too hard if you spend at least 10 minutes writing the kanas on a paper, however those fuckers confuse me everytime: シ　ツ

On my 120th kanji. Doing ten kanji a day + anki takes nearly an hour so far. I don't know if I will have the time when I'll need to start reading and doing vocab.

Meant I am just on 2500 kanji, not reviews.

[Anonymous No.]

Is there any way to learn kanji without grinding out flash cards? Because as soon as you(read "I") stop for a few days/weeks/months, you'll end up forgetting a lot of it because you're not really learning it in context. Also none of the anki decks don't have voice and a lot of sounds get muffled and/or shortened in casual conversation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8882989
Your reasoning is why I do Heisig.

I have a reference point to remember them from, even though now I've been doing them so long I just remember them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8882961
I think it could work. Just space the set of 50 characters out into 5 sets of ten characters per day and you might be fine. It shouldn't feel as exhausting as 50 straight in a row would be.

[Anonymous No.]

You guys shouldn't be spending so much time on hiragana and katakana. Spend a couple days one each of them and you'll know them well enough. You never really "know" something, so you have to constantly expose yourself to it anyways.

You could always try following japanese blog twitter sites that update their content daily to keep your memory intact.

Why do people complain about kanji so much? I literally speak/write a language that uses nothing but those characters all day every day. It is called Chinese and it isn't that hard. We don't have any easy katakana or hiragana either.

[Anonymous No.]

"Look at me I grew up with symbols in my language and its so easy for me!"

And if you didn't you are obviously attempting a bad troll because if you learned it later in life you would understand how hard Hanzi can be to learn at first.

Anything you are used too, is easy.

[Anonymous No.]

I started learning when I was 20, I am now 22. My soon to be wife is from China and I was determined to learn the language so I could ask her grandparents (her parents died when she was five) if I could marry her, and for their blessing. So I sat down and made myself into as close to a native speaker as she has ever heard. Leading me to my current situation where I have gained the respect of her family and will be marrying her as soon as possible.

I still do my reps every day but I haven't added anything new to my SRS deck in weeks and it's getting kind of stale. It's basically the entire kanjidamage site plus example sentences I found and random sentences from VNs but I'm kind of bored of it now and just want to eroge every day.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8883207
What's stopping you?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8883216

Well, kanjidamage gave me some direction in learning kanji/vocab in isolation, but now that I'm through that my only exposure to new words is when I'm reading VNs. And when I'm reading I don't want to stop and interrupt my flow just to add cards. So my deck is stagnating. I feel like I am still learning though, maybe just not as efficiently as I could be.
