Guys, I fell for it. I fell for the god damn jouyou troll. I've learned all jouyou and jinmeiyou kanji and just as I thought I was gonna be finished with kanji, my teacher dropped the bomb: The average japanese person can read 20 000 kanji. TWENTY THOUSAND FUCKING KANJI. I'M NOT EVEN AT 3000.

Studying Japanese was a mistake.

There's nothing funny about this. I was an NYR last year, if I'd known the amount of kanji was this insurmountable I never would've started, but I was never told of the 20 000 kanji. The worst part is that another generation is gonna be tricked by the jouyou posters in the following weeks, I weep for thee.

So how do you learn a word in anki?

>>135547583
I think the best resolutions are those you can think of and work on. For instance, if you say "I want to get healthy", you'll soon forget the NYR and not really do anything about it. But if you say, "I want to maintain a schedule of x reps of y exercise a day" then it's something you can focus on and actually work on.

Therefore, for Japanese, a good NYR would be something like "finish a full length VN / LN / novel every month", or "hit x,000 new words added in anki". If it sounds like that's just work, well yeah, that's what it is. I think a lot of people approach NYRs as "wishes" - I wish to be good at Japanese, so my NYR is "i want to be good at Japanese". That's why people fail, because they're wishing not working.

My NYR is to finish Legend of Galactic Heroes.

I realized just today I forgot to do my reps yesterday. I guess this is it for me.

>>135549513
That is not true. A few simple ideas:

Certain genre of manga (im looking at you sol manga) do not use certain words or grammar structures, or not frequently enough (i challange you to find jplt lvl 1 and 2 grammar in certain manga)

The writing style in a manga is more often than not conversational. It does not give adequate exposure to other writing styles, which again use different structures.

Hello all,

When applying the discount code "wanikani heart textfugu" on a year subscription on Wanikani, it brings the total down to $50 for a year. However, it also has a category labeled "Good for" with "forever" being the value. What exactly does this indicate? Does it mean that in 1 year, should I decide to renew, that it will again be priced at $50 for a year?

Thanks!

>>135552925
Yes. Even if you stop your sub, it will be $50/yr afterwards.

It'd lack WaniKani's patented technology, so no.

Is it really possible to learn Japanese by yourself? I'm having a hard time believing you can get to a decent level without being tutored.

>>135553083
I went from 0 to reading visual novels and manga without much issue, all by myself, no tutors.

The fundamental aspect of learning a language is exposing yourself to native material, i.e. reading and listening. You obviously do not need a tutor for that.

>>135553083
No, it's absolutely impossible to understand something without having it explained to you by an overpaid babysitter.

>>135553057
Patented "learn Japanese much slower than you could be" technology

>>135553083
You can become fluent if you devote enough time. The more sources you use, the better

but some hands on experience with the language is always a good thing too, not necessary though

>>135553083
Oh look, more copypasta

>>135553124
But if you make a mistake no one will be there to correct you.

>>135553181
Don't make mistakes then.

>>135553181
Over time, mistakes will be worn down by simple exposure. It's really hard to maintain misunderstandings when exposed to so much content, trust me. It's not as big a deal as you might think.

Hello reddit.

>>135553181
>B-b-but I might get something wrong.
This is a newfag concern, from my experience.

Ive been listening more I guess but I've just got other things to do.

I can play jrpgs but I almost feel like its a hopeless cause and im just relaxing. Maybe since im potentially going to japan will be a good motivator.

To add on to this, you need to make goals that are SMART.
>Specific – target a specific area for improvement.
>Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress.
>Attainable – assuring that an end can be achieved.
>Realistic – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources.
>Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.

I'm reading LOGH and it's really really interesting. I read some of that, then spend the rest of the day playing porn JRPGs from dlsite and reading some moege. It's a three prong attack. Reps boost my hard vocab, moege gives me plain exposure, and LOGH gives me tough Japanese to practice with. But I enjoy just about all of it.

Just remember that the language makes sense. If something sounds wierd then you should probably reevaluate your interpretation of it. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that Japanese is some mystical oriental code unintelligable to the western mind. The same goes for the Japanese people for that matter.

I don't want to do it but im definetely going to try to find a cutey there to learn Japanese with.

I'm generally fond of 4chan in general, this thread has some bad eggs but it's ultimately a good place to chat about Japanese.

>>135556433
Can you post the one where all three of them are alive, if such an image exists?

Just started a few days ago, but the guide is fucking confusing me.

It doesn't really say what to move on to next after the kana. It says vocabulary is essential, but that it's impractical to learn kanji at the same time as learning vocabulary. So do I just not learn kanji until I've gotten some vocabulary knowledge? I thought kanji was important. When do I move onto grammar? When was the last time this guide was updated?

>>135556214

Nevermind.

>>135556603
Spend at least a year practicing and reviewing RTK 1-3 before starting on vocab.

>>135556598
If it exists, I haven't ever seen it.

>>135556660

Okay, so I should learn kanji first, not vocab?

I just found that on Google images tbqh.

>>135556603
It says
>Some people believe or find that individual study of the kanji is not as practical as simply learning the kanji via vocabulary
Key parts "some people believe" and "individual study". You can choose to study study kanji individually with RTK/KanjiDamage (which is slower, but will make learning vocabulary easier), or you can acquire kanji in the process of learning vocab (doing both at the same time). Try both and see which works for you.

>>135556603
Guide is in the process of being revamped. Just grab the deck in the Anki startup guide for now while reading Tae Kim / Japanese: The Manga Way / Genki and see how that goes. Read the Anki manual to make sure you're using it right / have it set up right for you. If your retention is complete garbage a couple weeks in, consider getting a kanji radical deck or handwriting the problem words. If that doesn't help, then consider a form of individual kanji study. Not everyone learns the same, so you may like learning kanji through vocab more, or you may like learning kanji first more. I'd try kanji through vocab for now since it's less of a time investment to try. Something like RTK is a 3 month time investment if you're going at a rate of 25 kanji a day.

>>135556738
Yes, definitely. This general is full of memesters who will try to mislead you for fun, so I recommend just leaving completely until you have finished following my advice.

Congrats on finishing Flyable Heart, I guess you really are likely to succeed if you try.
I think you misunderstood, Shou being pushed through dimensions was caused by the Kaichou's fireworks exploding, not by Suzuno. So then presumably Kururi was monitoring space-time and sent an agent back to correct the slip. Time travel plots always require a little suspension of disbelief.
If Shou had approached Suzuno before she went back, she wouldn't have recognised him at all, so it would have been pointless.
If you wanted to win the water gun fight or haunted house, you should've played it properly instead of cheating. It feels a lot more engaging and satisfying to navigate the choices yourself. I get you don't like trial-and-error gameplay, but then don't complain about how you didn't like it/wanted to win it.

>>135556771

>i know tons of people who went
this doesn't mean your chances are good anon.

the navy has <20k personnel in japan, out of about 320k personnel total. that's fucking low compared to other career options where you basically have a 100% chance of getting where you want to go.

>>135556603
It's not impractical at all. You just need to write down the kanji you see while grinding vocab a few times when you run into it.

What does it mean when の comes after te-form? I can't find this in DOJG.

ex. 他校を招いての親善試合

>>135557144
It just means の?

Thanks. I was really worried I wasn't going to finish at the end and I would have been really mad at myself.

I guess I understood it right, but it just didn't make sense to me. I didn't understand how just a plain explosion could send him to another dimension so I assumed something else was going on. But if you read it the same way, then I guess that is the correct interpretation.

It is actually possible to win them? I tried a lot of different choices and always lost both of them. And I got all of the CGs, so it is weird that winning them doesn't give a CG.

I'll post my Flyable Heart chart one more time to get it out there.

>>135557315
That's not really helpful. I'm wondering why the verb is conjugated to te-form before の and what that specific construction means.

>SMART

This is the ultimate problem with education facilities and language learning: They want to treat languages like math.

The best way to learn a language is to graze, and graze a lot. Mass exposure to native material is where you learn how natives use their language, along with being a fairly high resonance method for picking up vocabulary. When do you get there? When you're there. What do you do? Whatever you want. Just enjoy the journey, put in the time (this is the one thing that you should be very stringent with; try for at least an hour per day; don't go as easy on yourself as five minutes), and don't stress too much about where you are, and your progress will benefit from it.

>Anki

Anki is a great tool, but you'll find that anki can't really do its job as well as it could be without the grazing.

How difficult is Schwarzesmarken? Outside of being forced to lookup a ton of vocabulary

>>135559697
Don't limit reviews

Reviews will tend towards 10x your new/day

>>135559697

Set your review limit to 9999. Alternatively, use custom study to get your reviews back down to zero. Finish your reviews every single day. This is the most important part of anki, even more important than adding new cards.

Up your new cards to 25, and see how you do.

>>135559739

"The 1500 yen package has twice the circumference, but both have a value of 3000 yen supposedly. The 1500 yen package affords 3000 yen of goods, the 1000 package affords 3000 yen of goods. There's no need to do any mental math, the 1000 yen package seems a great deal. With that said, i bought the daily goods package to take a look. "

Guys a word of warning.

Manga is good for starting off learning japanese but after you can get, say 90% of the material, its time to move on.

It is a hindrance to progress after a while. It provides too much context and is too visual, not to mention often times its too simple.

I'm keeping up with my JP studies while working. I've been doing it for a little under a year now, so it's not that long, but I think if you feel motivated it's not especially difficult. I enjoy learning, so it's not hard to find time to do something I want to do.

That being said, I don't think my job is that hard, even if it is kind of time consuming. I'm not sure how much more difficult it would be if I had to work harder. I'm a veteran network engineer, which basically means I just do consulting and advising while everybody else works their ass off.

SMART is essentially stating that you need a series of specific, inflexible, time-sensitive checkpoints to move you from point to point in a focused manner. This is great (or even necessary) if you're trying to pay off your student loans over the next year, run five miles within a certain time, or are organizing a business venture with limited funds, but it's not necessarily to your benefit with language learning. Instead, you should focus on using strong methods (reading and listening to native material, looking things up as needed) and putting in the time. If you're fucking up, don't worry about it. Just push on. The only way to fail at learning Japanese is to use stupid methods and/or slack off too much.

If you do set a checkpoint, I'd make it general enough and far enough in the future that it's basically a "don't go too easy on yourself" checkpoint. For example, "pass N2 by next December". How you get there is described in very general terms that SMART advocates wouldn't like: You just read, listen, and if you feel that you're floundering a little, experiment with various methods that you believe might help you. If you're trying like a motherfucker, and it's obvious that, while you're making progress, you're not moving fast enough to pass the N2 by December, then just aim for next July. The important thing is that you're putting in the time.

>Also "the best way" is a fairly vague term. Best in what way?

Getting you to your goals in a quick and thorough manner. Ironically, making yourself overly structured will hurt your progress here, not help it. Listen to what you want, read what you want. Enjoy it. It's extremely important that you're having fun, both to keep you motivated and to help with your retention. Just make sure that you do it.

>>135562069
I don't think you really understand it. Your suggestion of doing 1 hour per day for a year would meet all the requirements of SMART.

Passing N2 by next December is a SMART goal.
Reading 1 VN per month is a SMART goal.
Reading 1 VN per year is a SMART goal.
Doing 20 new words in Anki every day for a year is a SMART goal.
Doing 1 new word in Anki every day for a year is a SMART goal.

Vague goals like "lose weight", "eat less", "study more", "read more", etc are not SMART.

Why is 終物語 not spelled as 終わり物語り? I mean, why were the okurigana omitted? Or is this just some literary style?

>>135562370

Generally, sure, but it's the focus that I have an issue with. SMART-focused people will be like "How much closer to passing the N2 did I get today?", or, as December approaches, "Oh shit, am I really ready for the N2?! I need to study for it! Will I be able to meet my deadline?! Shit shit shit!"

I don't think that it's a helpful mentality to put too much emphasis on a strict long-term schedule with language learning. You should enjoy your day-to-day growth, along with the material that you read. The N2 thing is just something to call you back to the path if you ever find that it's been a month since you've read or done anki.

>>135561722
Do you do this for better retention?

>>135553181

This is a common misconception from beginners.

If you make a mistake, sooner or later (more likely sooner), your understanding of Japanese grammar will give you a broken sentence that doesn't make any sense. The only way that your misconceptions will continue is if you're very lazy and don't make any attempt to correct them when you inevitably run across that broken understanding.

>>135562993
Some people get better results with that kind of rigid study even in language learning. They make them not slack off and make significant progress at a solid pace. For most, it's hard to be self-disciplined without concrete short-term or long-term goals that aren't "get a bit better everyday".

>>135561306
>>135561460

If you never read anything more advanced than children's manga, your understanding of the language will never progress past the level of a child's.

I'm sure that anyone who's learning to read manga has more than just manga on their list of things that they want to read. The sooner you move on to those things, the sooner you'll be able to read them easily.

You won't get better results, because you'll be overly obsessed with your goals (studying to the test, rushing through the VN, etc.) instead of just gathering all of the knowledge that you can.

You see these idiots from time to time. "Should I learn this word? Will it help me pass the test? It's not on the N2, right?" Who fucking cares? Consider the purpose of the test. You're ultimate goal isn't a stupid certificate. It's to become proficient in Japanese. Yes, you want to learn that fucking word. Stop being so obsessed with concrete goals and just learn some goddamn Japanese.

If you can't stay on track unless you're studying to the test, then that's a problem with your willpower, and you need to fix it.

>>135563783
The primary problems with it are how expensive it is, the fact that it limits your progress pretty significantly, and its SRS not being as good or as customizable as Anki.

Basically, using it in Anki deck form is fine, but while the paid version is good outside of those issues, it's not even remotely worth paying hundreds of dollars for compared to using a slightly older Anki deck of it or using other resources.

Unless the hundreds of dollars you'll end up spending on it is pocket change and you'll be going slower than what it limits you to for some reason during the couple years it takes you to complete it, you'd be better of using an Anki deck version or just using other resources.

>>135563968
>The primary problems with it are how expensive it is
>$10 a month
>Expensive
Is you for real, nigger?

>>135564062
>limits your progress
You have to spend a couple hundred dollars before you have a chance of having finished it.

>>135564062
For what's essentially a well organized Anki deck of a system like RTK/KD with vocab, yes, it is. You'll have spent at least over $200 on it by the time you're almost done.

There's no reason to willingly spend that kind of money on it when there's an Anki deck that's more customizable/better SRS available or other resources that are about as good depending on what you want out of them.

>>135564100
I think it takes around one and a half year to complete it going at a non-optimal pace. Maybe more now that they've added stuff to it.

Not implying anything, just adding information. I don't think there's any real reason for people to use it except maybe for the hand-holding aspect in that it teaches radicals and kanji and vocab in an integrated manner. I used it myself when I had just started learning Japanese, but I ended up replacing it with Anki at like level 15 or something.

Even if it's just pocket change, it's still money that could have been spent on reading material.

Been studying Japanese for 2 years. When I started here I said to another anon in my same position on new year's day that we'd both make it and would meet again to update each other next year. He didn't show up ;_;

You still out there Anon1?

>you can't fake your way through it by hitting "good" on cards that you clearly didn't remember
I genuinely can't tell if this is a blatant shitpost or if you're just a retard with no self control / too much pride to accept that you got something wrong.

Don't bother. He's obviously a retard with an IQ in the double digits who's incapable of seeing past next month with his finances. Things like "long term budget" or "money is a finite thing that shouldn't be wasted" don't register with him. He's probably the kind of guy who falls for shit like "Get financed for just $50 per week!"

Thank you so much, anon!

>>135564202
Ouch.

Anki is burning me out. It's becoming harder and harder to complete my reps. Anki has become my life.

>>135564062
I could do a lot with that $10 dollars.

>>135564516
I just don't think so.

>>135564481
One day at a time, that's how I take it. Don't think about the years of toil and tedium that lie ahead of you, just focus on the present, card by card. Like running a marathon.

>>135564481
Core2k is pissing me off with it's shitty order and newspaper words. It's the only good deck though.

is there an anki deck for just anime words?

>>135564536
Not him, but if you don't think so, you must be some spoiled kid. That's 2 days worth of food, or a weeks worth of gas where I'm from.

If mommy and daddy pay for everything for you, then fine, go ahead. But to us who have to work for a living, that's simply not worth it.

This is why I keep wanting to drop anki

I finished my reps and then just started reading random crap in japanese and it's easy to spot words that are immensely more useful than all of this business related crap core throws at you at about 1000 cards in

>>135564481
Ignore all the newfags here that say they do 20 new cards a day. 20 a day is newfags because they have nothing in their decks to start with.

Worst case scenario limit the amount of reviews it gives you a day. Don't stop doing them though desu senpai.

>>135564716

Literally the worst part of that deck if it's the order I'm thinking of. It gets better baby.

I'm sorry.

No, but there's lists of like the top 100 anime phrases

>>135564734
I seriously hope it gets better

No wonder japanese salaryman is depressed and suicidal. All these fucking words just don't stick in your head

Someone
1) Take all the non-scan LNs in the COR
2) Plug them all into http://forum.koohii.com/thread-9459.html
3) Reorder core6k based on that

>>135564802
I wonder if the Japs have as much trouble trying to learn complex English words as we have with some of theirs.

>>135564603
Is Japan unique in having such a fucked word order for beginner resources? I remember dabbling in some German a few years ago and all of the beginner words were things like:
>cat
>house
>mom
>car
>sky
>water
>days
>numbers
I may as well make my own deck, which is what flash cards are for anyways.

>>135564861
japs can't learn english
they have some of the worst rates for success with it

>>135564871
DJT should just make a deck

Personally I think it would be great to start with simple 1-kanji words where the kanji's "meaning" matches the word.
I know these aren't the real meaning but just good for mnemonics, but doing it this way you would automatically get the benefit of the mnemonic while learning words. Then when you learn more complex words people would naturally apply the mnemonic even if they aren't aware of it.

>>135564861
Learning English is so easy a monkey could do it.
Nothing is complex about it.

>>135564871
Core decks are the most common words you see in news papers

>>135564951
Japs can't do it, though.

>>135564951
Actually english is supposedly one of the most difficult languages to learn.

Japanese is actually very simple in every respect except the writing system.

>>135564897
Ha! I am not that dumb then!

>>135564977
>except the writing system
I've heard that Japanese speaking is really "slurry" though. As in, the words are not pronounced as clearly or distinctly as other asian languages.

>>135563846
Did you do core2k also? If so, how would you compare them?
Where can I get the deck?

>>135563774
You have an unhealthy hatred of goals.

>>135565047
I didn't do any of the Core decks, so I can't compare. The deck should be in the archives if you just search "mega wanikani."

>>135565039
>I've heard that Japanese speaking is really "slurry" though.
Nah, that's bollocks. Chinese is way messier.

>>135565039
>the words are not pronounced as clearly or distinctly as other asian languages.

Nah, all languages are the same. You can slur in any language.

>>135563846
I vaguely remember someone saying wanikani has "chunni" vocab. Would you say this is true? Or did it feel more like "newspaper words"

>>135565123
Thanks.

Only a poor person would waste money on wanikani.

How do computers sort Kanji?

>>135565101

I'm fine with even very strict goals when they make sense for the task. For example, not spending a penny more than your budget while trying to pay off a loan, or having an inflexible scope and a series of due dates on your creative project so that your project doesn't fall into development hell.

It's just that Japanese is not the kind of task that benefits from strict goals. You shouldn't study to the test, and you should rush yourself. What you need to do is graze. Absorb everything that you can, and do it well. When you're good at Japanese, you'll be able to pass those tests, and you'll have gotten there much faster than if you were rushing around and letting stringent goals limit you.

I believe the Unicode blocks for kana are set up alphabetically, so a regular sorting algorithm comparing Unicode codepoints like numbers would just work TM.

However, I don't know how that works with kanji, as many are shared between Chinese, Nipponese, (old) Korean, (old) Vietnamese, etc. They probably just get sorted in whatever order they appear in in the code-table.

>>135564791

>>135565402
>many are shared between Chinese, Nipponese, (old) Korean, (old) Vietnamese, etc. They probably just get sorted in whatever order they appear in in the code-table.
Good point. I didn't think about it from that angle.

>>135565214
>I vaguely remember someone saying wanikani has "chunni" vocab. Would you say this is true? Or did it feel more like "newspaper words"

"Chuuni" is probably going too far, but I think there are a few pretty uncommon words that are only included for the purpose of learning specific kanji readings. I wouldn't say it felt like newspaper vocab either, although it does include words like 倒産 and 保険. Mostly the vocab seemed pretty basic to me, words like black, white, revolve, see, etc. come up fairly early on. Only some of the annoying counter words are included, and the dumb mnemonics it provides to help remember each of the individual readings actually did help me a lot when I was just starting out.

>>135565402
They're mostly ordered by dictionary radicals.

>>135565278
Most of us read VNs and manga initially, not fucking newspapers.

>>135565264

This.

The kinds of people who use wanikani despite knowing that anki exists are the kinds of people who are poor no matter how much money they make.

>It's just $10/month!

>[...]

>Wait, I make $100k/yr, so why did I have my electricity shut off last week?

I'll tell you why. Beyond earning a livable wage, the secret to having money is to not spend it. That especially includes avoiding useless monthly fees. Those will take even people who should have a very high amount of financial lax and make them live paycheck to paycheck.

>tfw you have 3 monthly subscriptions already.

Cool, is that statically in the Unicode-table, or is it handled by software via another mechanism? I'm pretty sure it has to be the first though, anything else'd be ridiculous.

Source would be nice as well.

>Neither WK nor anki is superior, they are just different, and serve own purpose. Sure they overlap on somethings, but on a larger scale they arent direct rivals. I have tried both, and decided to stick with WK, its better for me.
It seems to me the people who use Wanikani are somehow deluded. I really cannot think of how someone could use both Anki and Wanikani and come to the conclusion above. It's baffling.

I'm nervous about "integrative complexity" here, am I just turning this into black and white and not considering every factor and viewpoint? I try and really cannot think of how someone would make that conclusion, unless they didn't use anki for more than a day.

The Unicode table really is one of the great modern wonders of the world.

>>135566063
WK isn't supposed to be a replacement for anki, just a replacement for a basic pre-made anki deck like core6k. Obviously someone using wanikani would also create a mining deck in anki.
