apparently you never do them lmao because the romanziation is "ganbatte"

that's not how jp romanizations work at all. words like わたくし (polite 私) or よろしく feature pronunciation quirks where the -u in く is dropped for the former and the し is pronounced like an english "sh" would, but neither's romanizations reflect this... because it would be inconsistent with how they're written in japanese. they're romanized as 'watakushi' and 'yoroshiku' and it's up to your dumbass to know pronunciation quirks because romanizations are 100% based on how they're expressed through kana

I disagree with that. Certainly memorizing 2000 kanji before even attempting grammar/vocab is a fool's errand, but I think kanji is separate than learning grammar. Most grammar resources will have furigana and you'll pick up some kanji, but if you want to read moon in the wild you'll need some basic kanji knowledge. I think studying maybe the top 500 at the same time as doing genki I/II would be beneficial.

As an aside, some guy actually did RTK without doing any other japanese studying and was moderately successful at reading stuff in japan. Obviously a retarded thing to do as a learner but still it shows that there are some benefits to studying kanji on its own, separate from grammar/vocab.

It's just an inefficient use of time. Learning every single way to read a kanji and learning its meaning with RTK it is just not going to be as beneficial as just learning vocab words. Readings on their own are just useless compared to vocabulary where it has immediate use.

>> No.8825861

I only learned the keywords / meanings of the kanji, readings are indeed retarded (almost everyone that likes RTK will tell you that you shouldn't learn the readings)
Now that I did RTK tho, learning new vocab is exactly like learning new vocab in English except it's easier, you mix in symbols that you already know and it's that simple, it's literally instant for me to recognize the kanji even if I can't read it. I rarely get caught by surprise with a kanji that I don't know, but I have learned so many radicals and kanji patterns that learning a new kanji is as easy as 5 seconds of staring.

It's totally inefficient to do RTK if you already have a basic understanding of the language, but I couldn't recommend it more for a beginner that really wants to become fluent in Japanese. Everyone will tell you how kanjis are difficult and impossible to learn as a non native while you point and laugh at their faces

What I see recommended a lot (ymmv) is to start with a "core" SRS deck with the most common words you'll encounter (you can find many good ones online) The core deck should give you enough of a foothold so that you don't need to look up every minor word like 日 or 彼女 or the like. After that, vocab's just a matter of looking up the stuff you don't know in your immersion content (manga, anime, vtubers)

-Memorize the kana
-Get anki decks for top 500 joyou kanji/core 2000 vocab and start drilling them every day
-Buy genki I/II and do the exercises
-CONSTANTLY listen, even if it's background noise. Get used to hearing japanese.
-Study for the N5 JLPT exam even if you don't plan on taking it.

Kana is first but after that everything else should be done in parallel. Don't pay attention to the people in this thread telling you that kanji with multiple meanings/readings are impossible or whatever the fuck. There may be times when you look at a word and know the meaning but not how to read it, but that's a good thing. It means you know the kanji. This happens to native JP speakers as well sometimes, if they encounter a new word they can usually guess the reading but it may not always be right.

>How do I power through it?
By not powering through it. People always say that children pick up languages quickly, but it's only half true - and even so remember that it takes YEARS of schooling before an 8-year-old has the language skills of... an 8-year-old. Do you, being much older with far more responsibilities in life, expect to outpace that? You can probably study more efficiently than primary school kid, but training your brain still takes a lot of time.

Also, there's a sort of mindset that we get into as adults where learning has to be done in a rather "textbook" style. But recall that children, who again "pick up languages quickly", don't learn from a textbook. They learn through play: picture books, cheezy Sesame Street style songs and games, etc. And they're usually much more bold in using what they learn, even if they make tons of mistakes.

Don't power through it. Just take your time but be diligent. Don't be afraid to learn in any way possible, even if it seems stupid. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.

This is the problem with listening to native speech. I like the jp subbed clippers, my technique is to pause, read the subs, look up anything I don’t recognise, and then listen to it. Then I’ll listen to the whole clip again without reading the subs. It’s a grind but I’ve been grinding Japanese for 10 months now and I’ve trained myself to enjoy the process. I do exactly the same thing with some YouTube channels that produce practice listening videos for Japanese.

I do this too. It's impressive that you're already doing that at 10 months in, btw. There's a lot of absolute dekinais that don't consume native material even after a year in.

Thanks anon. I really need to start speaking, realised that lack of using the language is holding me back quite a bit. Saw a video of a Taiwanese girl who said she’d been learning for a year and although I could easily understand everything she said my brain definitely can’t produce like that yet.

>allophone transformation
This is just Hepburn being retarded, anon.

It's an allophone for Japs, meaning they can't tell/don't think about the difference. "m" is a natural consequence of going from "n" to "b/p", since "m" is bilabial like b/p and nasal like n.

Spanish and Portuguese change their Ns to M before P/B as an ortography rule, but there is NO difference in pronunciation. Tell any Japanese or Peruvian or Brazilian do say Amber or Anber and they will all say the same thing twice. Romanizing "がんばって" as "gambatte" is merely a caprice, a whim, a little linguistic factoid turned into a needless exception that creates more variation and less standardization.

Now shut the fuck up and stop being a stupid EOP.

Nta but 配信 instead of 小川 I think. Seems to be what chuubas use most often, though I think I've seen them use 放送 as well.

Not even close, and there's a lot of slang/nuance that makes it funny in an untranslatable way, but second anon almost got the important core information ("why are you attacking me even though (you said) we're friends?").

I'm a little late here, but the point of saying "learn kana in one day" isn't "do this or you're retarded," it's to show learners just how quickly they can get things done using mnemonics/study tricks. You can probably self-study more efficiently than the pace of pretty much any formal class you find. I think this is important because most learners of this language are going to die on the vine and the sooner someone feels like, "Hey, I actually kinda know something," the more likely they are to stick with it. Of course, the only thing that really matters in the end is that you're satisfied with your progress; I think "learn kana in one day" means to get learners a taste of that progress ASAP.

this. Imagine slaving away at it for weeks or months and then realizing you could have done it in a day or two.
IDK about you, but thats a little more demoralizing.

I used this.

If he was making a literal translation from English he would have used 流 or 流れ (stream) and not 小川 (small river).
For that reason I think there's a possibility he intended something else. He could have made some typo.
