Is it better to learn from something easy, or something hard?

Trying to decide if I should read a 4koma manga (has furigana, for starters, and is manga) or a LN (I can use rikai, but there's still a lot more text and grammar). The former might be less of a grind, but I stand to learn more from the latter.

What would you do, /djt/?
>>
so is remembering the kanji a good idea?
>>
>>136272869
You're a beginner? At that stage 4koma manga will be extremely hard, an LN will take you a year to read assuming you don't give up.

recently made the switch to anki from wanikani.

how am I doing?
>>
>>136275843
1 - Tae Kim himself says to not worry about memorizing the vocabulary he uses. You'll be better off sticking to a long-term, optimized, well-balanced deck like Core2k/6k.
2 - The DOJG deck contains every single concept that Tae Kim covers, plus about 400 more, so long-term it's better, and with Anki you should always think of the long term. You won't want to do EITHER grammar deck, though, until you have a grasp on everything Tae Kim covers in the first place.
>>
>>136275843
Not him, but there's no reason to do the Tae Kim vocab deck when the guide itself has vocab lists in each lesson. Tae Kim in entry level grammar, the DOJG deck covers all entries on the three grammar dictionaries. It's quite complete and well put together.

In wanikani i would usually get 90-95% right on my reviews.

"conscious" study -> checking all the words and grammar manually and asking people to correct your "translations".

Did you miss the "intelligible"? 50% is not "not understanding anything". 50% is enough, and easy. 100% is completely unnecessary. You will not understand 100% of what you read until you are postfluent. If you try you will fail horribly AND think you understand things that you don't.

If she had a life insurance policy you're about to get a lot of financial aid and will be able to live a comfortable life, which is what she probably would have wanted. The chances of your suicide failing and simply bringing you more suffering is statistically likely. Strong emotions such as despair over death are proven to fade over time, so if you wait it out long enough you won't feel as *painfully* bad about their deaths as much and will be glad you didn't kill yourself. That said if you want to die go for it.

You seem to be thinking too autistically about language learning.

I'm guessing you're interested in learning to write/speak japanese too rather than just read/understand it like most people here, and so you're being overly paranoid about picking up bad habits. But you shouldn't be projecting that onto everyone else.

Whether or not I'm right about you wanting to learn to speak japanese you're still going to take WAY longer to learn japanese than others will, if you keep thinking this way.

The language processing in your brain isn't handled in the same parts that logic and reason are. If you keep treating language like it's a math problem then you're never going to be fluent, and speaking japanese to you is going to be painful and slow because you'll be consciously trying to recall rules and shit.
Learning language is just different, you need to dive in and absorb real native material for it to sink in properly at all.

In fact, this is *the only way* to learn language that works for absolutely everyone. Every single other method will fail if the person has something somewhere wrong in their head. But if you have the ability to post in this thread right here and now, *you can learn language by absorbing normal material, because that's how you learned in the first place*. No, the ability doesn't go away when you're an adult, that phenomenon is solely that adults have to work instead of sit on their ass and get instructed in their own language all day.

Archaic germanic languages and romance languages are as similar as english and japanese. Germanic languages are heavily agglutinating and romance languages have strong morphology. Japanese is heavily agglutinating and english has a different word order. People back then didn't understand the concept of a cognate, either.

If you found yourself stranded in feudal japan, you would learn the language in a matter of half a year, easily. That's how perfect input is.

It absolutely does, it's the input hypothesis at work. People learn language without instruction perfectly fine. You don't need to understand 100% to learn, you only need to understand 50%, and you start with baby steps.

Natural language reflects how the mind handles ideas. It's literally impossible for japanese to be so different that your brain can't figure out what things mean what.

All the arguments you're making might as well say that you need to learn before you can listen.

You don't have an advanced grasp on the language until you start reading. If you have a legitimate opinion, "advanced" is the wrong word for the incredibly low level of japanese you need to understand before you can read basic material. I read through all of hanahira after doing literally nothing but reading four pages of tae kim and watching six months of english-subtitled anime. When I finished hanahira I was capable of reading japanese wikipedia, which means I clearly learned something properly from reading it.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you need to learn before you read? Enough to get started, or do you actually need expertise before reading does anything?

I ask because I've been learning by reading, using anki to try to memorize words as I go along, and using DoJG and the occasional /djt/ query to decipher grammar. It's a rather slow and painful process desu. Is there a better way?

Fix my translation, and consequently my understanding. My current understanding makes no logical sense.

ビールの出荷量が増加したのは、価格が高くても味を楽しみたいという消費者が増えたとして、各社が新しいブランドや、製造方法や原料の一部を変えて味に特徴を持たせた派生商品といった新商品を相次いで投入したりするなど、主力商品の販売を強化したことが主な要因です。

"Regarding beer's shipped amount increase, the number of consumers even if the price is high has increased because companies have rebranded, changed ingredients and methods in order to constantly make new special products. This is the reason why flagship products sales strengthened. "

If they are introducing new products then how can the flagship product's sales be high?

Anon. One day, someone will appear who will teach you.

But the sole objective of my current self is to liberate DJT. If you try to prevent that, even this thread will show you no mercy.

>Unlimited Methods Work

I had neither a tutor nor a class. All I have is this world. If a chosen method is a self-learner's symbol, then this world is my chosen method.

It copies and backs up any program or book that I have used.

That is my ability as a language learner.

Every Method Here Works.

They are subdecks. Don't worry how it looks, just do the cards as they come and only change the options for the top deck, if you change any options, and made sure to select that changes apply to subdecks. It looks different but in practice if you do the cards as they are due it functions the same.

>I've been trying to learn Japanese for the past two years, but I've stopped and started again numerous times. I usually lose motivation to learn when, after a while, I stumble upon a blog or article about Japanese relations with foreigners.
>I mean, I really love learning languages and traveling. In high school I took three years of French (but I'm a bit rusty on that now), and I've also bought some self-learning resources for learning Italian, Greek, and Spanish (although I've never even touched them yet). I've concentrated on learning Japanese first, but it turned out to be my most problematic language.
>I know Japanese people don't mean to be rude and that they are really nice, but what really pisses me off is that they often don't realize that they're being discriminatory or racist. Japan is full of subtle racism and Japanese people seem to be indoctrinated from school to treat non-Japanese differently, or to always generalize that all non-Japanese people don't know Japanese culture and/or Japanese language.

If you were being an autodidact this wouldn't be an issue because your study would be based on your own decisions.
If you read through the Guide in the OP, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it give people a short list of different resources and suggests to look into them to see which suites you best? That is, even if you were blindly following the hivemind in these threads -which I think it a terrible thing for anyone to do- the Guide itself would have stirred you into a direction that lead to different choices which actually diverge from the shitposting here. Even if you were being a sheep being lead, it doesn't make sense that you'd listen to the echo chamber here over the authority of the OP Guide and website. Wouldn't that logically be the shepherd for those people who would rather blindly following a set of instructions?

Learning how to write then and subsequently having an anki deck which prompts you to write them takes up very little time, as in maybe a matter of hours at first and maybe a few hours over the next few years.

This makes no sense. The conversation was discussing the relative benefits of Japanese society's pride in their culture and bloodlines, with references to other societies to draw comparisons. This has a direct relationship to the Japanese language, both in terms of how it developed historically and the difficulties involved in studying it with actual Japanese people, and is hence completely on-topic. I fail to see the problem?

Honestly? No not a lot
I'm watching a lot of Japanese let's plays right now. I don't enjoy not understanding so much. I don't enjoy missing words and mishearing bits.
I read novels. I really don't like when I only vaguely understand what an author is going for. When a philosophical statement is made I feel like garbage for not fully appreciating it.
I don't like trying to say something but failing.

They say the journey is more important than the destination. In my opinion, in the case of Japanese, the journey enhances the destination - I'd rather study for four years and become fluent, than just press a button and become fluent (well, I'd rather press a button, but I wouldn't feel as satisfied). But, I do not enjoy this journey very much. I don't enjoy not understanding. I don't enjoy gradually accumulating the fuckton of vocabulary necessary. I don't enjoy sounding like an idiot when I try saying anything. I don't enjoy spending so much time on anki, and I don't like the fact that if I dropped anki my progress would slow down a fuckton.

I like finding neat phrases, I like the perspective it gives on language, I like getting better. There's lots to like about learning a language. But ultimately, I'm not enjoying the process much at all. Too much grinding. Too much dissatisfaction.

Honestly my favourite part of language learning has been Steve vs Dekinai memes, I love all the good spirit and community that comes from DJT at times, it makes me feel pretty excited and happy about learning Japanese. That and being a smug motherfucker to weeaboos who don't know Jpaanese.

My perspective on this is that gradually learning kanji and words gives you a personal relationship with the language, in the vein of Wittgenstein's "private language" philosophy, so there's satisfaction in building up your own Japanese understanding.

I've been gradually not doing anki or half-assing it, and now I haven't done it in like 5 days. I just don't have the motivation.

Sure, I fell off for a couple of months last year but I'm going strong again. If Anki just plain doesn't work for you then you can always just study normally and set your own pace. The only thing that'll remove all hope is quitting altogether.

I know anki is bad if you aren't doing it everyday, but without it I don't know how I'd acquire a decent enough vocabulary. Just reading a lot doesn't really help with learning a lot of words. I still watch a whole lot anime though and I focus on that and can still understand a decent amount even though I've stopped my studies pretty much.

I'll get motivated again eventually and probably read a lot more. I think if I get to the point where I can understand a lot of spoken Japanese then I will stay motivated, I don't know.

For now I just don't really feel like anki or reading. I'll see what happens though

>>136288381
Not entirely sure you really understand the program. By design, if you skip a few days but still remember the cards by the time you return to your reps, it takes that into account. This is why if someone has allowed a deck to run long without doing reviews and they want to get back into reviewing the deck, instead of deleting and starting over (which is sometimes suggested) they should simply return to reviews as the Supermemo algorithm Anki uses takes that into account and alters the fact schedule accordingly. That is: reviewing long expired content by starting over and making Anki think the facts are new to you, is less beneficial than failing the cards or passing them on the deck with the piled up reviews.

>>136288464
What, why? Sage is useful.

>>136288497
>By design, if you skip a few days but still remember the cards by the time you return to your reps, it takes that into account
The way that it does this is worse than not doing it in the first place, IMO. You can get external exposure for things you don't "know" as much as it thinks you know them because of it.

I agree with Supermemo on this one and I think they understand it better than you who disagree with them.
>You can get external exposure for things you don't "know" as much as it thinks you know them because of it.
This is taken into account, though, and will naturally correct itself over time if your external exposure becomes limited or non-existent. It is designed around an assumption that people are being exposed to the content outside of the program.

>>136288586
>I agree with Supermemo on this one and I think they understand it better than you who disagree with them.
SM does it differently than anki, even if SM's dev is delusional whatever he did is irrelevant to this point.
>>136288586
>This is taken into account, though, and will naturally correct itself over time if your external exposure becomes limited or non-existent.
With SM sure, but not anki. With anki all it does is give you an interval of not relearning the card when you should be.
>It is designed around an assumption that people are being exposed to the content outside of the program.
Do you have any idea how braindead simple anki is? Or do you know what behavior it does that I'm talking about?

When you rep a young/mature card X and get it right, it takes the /actual/ interval since your last rep and multiplies that by the ease instead of the target interval that it had. So if you're 2 days overdue, you get ~5 days extra on your interval. That's the behavior that I'm complaining about.
>>
>>136288672
>SM does it differently than anki
Anki uses a slightly older SM algorithm.
>With SM sure, but not anki.
It does. See above.
>Do you have any idea how braindead simple anki is?
It isn't.

I'm sorry but I don't think you understand Anki.

>Anki uses a slightly older SM algorithm.
Yeah, and supermemo disagrees with their older algorithms and calls them bad.

This detail isn't even part of the SM algorithm. It's a hack put in place by the anki devs to make up for one of the shortcomings of the old SM algorithm they're using.
>It does. See above.
Nope. Anki doesn't assume you're getting outside exposure. It doesn't have any systems in place to compensate for mis-scheduling due to having arbitrarily being exposed to something right before doing your reps several days late.
>It isn't.
>I'm sorry but I don't think you understand Anki.
Card has ease value. When you get card right its scheduling interval is multiplied by that ease. Getting card wrong will multiply its schedule by a different value (usually 0) and change its ease and mark it for relearning. Different answers can change the ease. When a card is new or relearning it uses a special minute interval system, other scheduling is ceiled to the next day. Answering a card late uses the number of days it's late by for rescheduling instead of its original scheduling interval. Cards that are failed too much can be marked or suspended as leeches. Forgive me if I missed some single detail in my drunkenness.
>>136288759
Yes, that's what I said, and that's what I'm complaining about.
>If the card is being reviewed late, the number of days that the card is overdue will be added to the current interval before doing these calculations.
It's too much. /Some/ boost is right, but using the number of days itself raw is excessive.
>>
>>136288884
>If the card is being reviewed late, the number of days that the card is overdue will be added to the current interval before doing these calculations.
Wait, does this apply to "Again" too? If it does then doesn't that mean you can progress cards if you just wait long enough?

Bump once before I turn in for the night. I kept looking and found:

・使用例:「マジ最悪。彼氏にヤグられたんだけど」
・意味:彼氏の浮気現場を目撃した

とあるタレントが不倫現場を旦那さんに目撃されたことから派生した言葉。「ヤグる」は「浮気した」。「ヤグられる」は「浮気された」という意味になります。ヤグりヤグられ、大変そうです。

So based on
>ヤグる」は「浮気した」
I guess it's just the same as 浮気? Still don't understand the 現場 part though.

In theory and for long-term that's all fine and good, but in practice a guy with 250 reps is never going to feel comfortable taking a day off because otherwise they'll face 500 reps the next day instead. Even people who study actually difficult subjects in actual institutes pause their work and take days off at least semi-regularly if at all possible without doing double the work the day after.

Anki is great but algorithms ignore the human element, it should definitely have a pause function.

Let me tell you something Anon.

I've been in this dig for three years on and off, I'd learn a few thousand words, get into a slump and quit, otherwise I'd study kanji and forget them or read some articles about grammar and never pull through.

In the last three months that I've started reading I've made progress and leaps and bounds like I never did before, sure I forget shit but the sheer volume of things I'm reading assures some of it sticks. I'm seeing things that I can actually apply and everything is making sense in ways it never did before.

Fucking read, don't be like me and put off doing what matters until later. anki, RTK, and Tae Kim are just warm ups, they don't matter nearly as much as actual reading does.

It'll be a bitch the first few weeks though.
