What do you guys do with leeches? I have a few piling up and I don't want to just throw them back in without doing anything different with them.

>>135428410
Write them in your notebook fifty times, you bitch.
I also custom-study all leeches every day (with them suspended).

I'm starting to think extensive listening is better than extensive reading. Reason being, with reading it gets easy to kind of simplifying word readings, like I just noticed I was reading 問う as "tuu" to save time, that can add up to problems long-term. With listening, you're getting pure language, but with reading, you gotta filter through your kanji goggles and gaijin pronunciation.

To learn vocab you just have to mindlessly grind.

Grammar is harder, vocab is more tedious

Grammar and comprehension are pretty much the same thing

sorry if this question gets asked a lot, if I wanted to buy raw LN what would be the best shops? Both for actual copies and ebbok versions. I bought a few with amazon but shipping is really expensive, and it doesn't let me download ebooks unless I lie about my kindle being in Japan.
(I am aware of the resources database, but I like to be able to pick stuff on my own). Which sites do you guys use?

>>135432107
I think that was a lie, actually. The JLPT N1 is fairly "difficult" in the sense it really does test real Japanese, you absolutely will not be able to pass it if you don't know the Japanese. At most someone could grind 10,000 words and kanji with flashcards and try to scrounge up 40 points from guessing, but I doubt that. Also, someone may be able to pass the reading / vocab / kanji sections but fail the listening, and thereby understand Japanese but be unable to communicate with it, but that is fairly fringe and I don't think too likely. So, I think she is lying.

>>135432187
Why do you keep reposting that picture?
It has nothing to do with N1.

>>135432218
N1 = Japanese
That image = Japanese
I see a pretty clear relationship.

>>135432187
I have looked at the past papers and I don't think it is beyond being studied for and passed by someone with very little functional ability.

>>135432290
I think it is beyond it. I mean even what you linked would be extremely difficult for someone bad at Japanese.

>>135431511
This. I feel like i would be just better off getting ESL certified if i wanted ro teach english in japan, especially outside of the JET program.

Being able to pass N1 is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for knowing Japanese.

I think it's more that people think it may be like N5 where you can scrape by and pass while actually knowing very little about Japanese. When in truth, it is far from that.

Why would you not take advantage of one of the biggest strengths of kanji, there is literally no upside to memorizing everything separately instead of only the exceptions that fall outside the common readings.

How do you read a grammar book? Mine all of the particles etc. And put them into a deck? Reread until it sticks? Even something structured like Genki I have no idea how to direct myself through it.

>>135437398
You are obnoxious as fuck, if I was Japanese and had decency I would ignore you but then I wouldn't go on those sort things if I had decency anyway.

>>135437668
Huh? Genki is too slow. Tae Kim or Japanese the Manga Way are much better. It's a shame JtMW has romaji though.

>>135437668

Genki is like if I went to eat a sandwich, every time I took a bite I had to take the sandwich apart and put it back together again.

>>135437713
Practice? look at sentences that use those particles and then break them down.
just staring at something and not knowing how to use it is stupid.
Practice making sentences with those particles.

>>135437713
Skim it and read the Yotsuba pack.

>>135437713
>Mine all of the particles etc. And put them into a deck?
Easy with the Anki
>Even something structured like Genki I have no idea how to direct myself through it.
Read it in the same order as the page numbering. It's cleverly ordered in such a way that the latter parts build upon the previous ones, which lets you gradually increase your understanding of Japanese and become pretty good at it by the end.

>>135437458
>shilling Genki
Genki is acceptable though, and we even pirate it. It's only RTK and WaniKani being wastes of time that normally cost money.

If you're talking about whatshisname -- Peter -- I totally agree. Fuck Peter. Naomi-sensei sound pretty kawaii though.

This is the best thing since RTK.

>>135438400
This one sure is stupid. It would make more sense if you could move ALL your rewievs forward by a day if you didn't happen to have time to do reps that day

Does anyone have a good estimate of how many words you'd need to learn to get fluent in a reasonable amount of time? I know most grammar and kanji at this point but my vocab has just gone out the window since I stopped studying seriously about 2 years ago.

If you did 10 words a day, vs 4 words a day, how far would you get?
When I saw this post
>>135428298
>Genki 2 over 5 months
It made me wonder how many people aren't studying at a decent pace and should just give up, or study harder. Myself included.

>>135438400
This is quite tempting.

>>135438808
At least 20000.
You aren't going to get anywhere with 4 words a day.

>>135438808
I think 6,000 - 10,000 vocabulary is the "conversational" level where you can follow most novels and television while a relatively degree of comprehension (assuming you also know grammar + have done listening practice). I'm at that level and can read most books and watch most anime so that's what I'm basing it on. That would be 2.7 years at 10 words a day or 6.85 years at 4 words a day. In reality, reading practice + kanji will boost you a lot. That's not very long (2.7 years - 1 year due to reading practice gains = 1.7 years) in my opinion.

>>135438808
>10 words a day, vs 4 words a day
Neither are going to learn Japanese at this rate.

>>135439135
What would you suggest?

I would think 10-15 words/day in addition to an hour or so of reading would get someone to a decent place of understanding.

>>135439272
50 words a day with a minimum of 8 hours of reading.

I read the average grade schooler learns about 4 words a day

>>135439435
The average grade schooler A SHIT

>>135438402
You talking about the Jew?

>>135439435
They have their whole lives to become fluent in their native language. No one here is trying to take over a decade just to be able to understand middle school shit.

Genki II in 5 months is actually almost TWICE as fast as the average second-level college Japanese course. That guy is actually learning TOO quickly. I recommend taking 10 months to do each Genki book, that's slightly slower than a classroom pace, but you need to spend more time doing production exercises to make up for the fact that you don't have a trained, PhD-holding Professor of Japanese guiding your learning.

>>135438400
>>135438400
This is the "you can't learn Japanese girl" in disguise. Get the fuck out of here. Do your reps, Anon-san. A lazy day is for those plebs that will ever learn Japanese.

This is honestly the only place I know where a NEET is seen as a diligent learner.

>>135439600
Dude, Genki 2 in 5 months is slow as shit. I'm at work for 11 hours a day and I still managed to move faster than that. You just need to sacrifice everything else: no friends, no good food, no other hobbies.

>>135439648
That wouldn't work when someone is just starting out... unless they're some autistic savant with an amazing memory.

Love how you guys mock classroom environments but never once demonstrate that you have any knowledge of Japanese. Keep it up boys.

Core2k is good, with maybe a 5% "useless card" rate (and even those are actually good words if you actually intend to speak and communicate in Japanese).
It's only Core6k that really pushes it.

>>135441831
Or you could just ignore the DJT memes and do wanikani. The vocab is way more weeb-oriented than Core, at any rate.
