Deleted the RTK deck with 1930/2200 progress a moment ago. I'll check out the rest of the book for some useful radicals, but I feel like learning kanji on their own was a monumental waste of time. Maybe I'll come to regret it, but I want to finally start learning the actual language, so hopefully it ain't gonna be too bad.

Starting with a core deck / TK's grammar in a jiffy.

Sorry for blogging, but fuck's sake am I pissed at being cajoled into giving RTK a whirl.
>>
>>16555017
Sorry not sorry there's been plenty of warning. Congratulations on finally beginning to learn japanese!
>>
>>16555022
Not him but to be fair the guide does inadvertently give the impression that it's the safest way to go. The section on individual kanji study should come with a much stronger warning
>>
>>16555022
>Sorry not sorry there's been plenty of warning
Are there any actual retards who don't understand that rtk is meant solely for learning kanji and kanji alone?
>>
>>16555047
Yeah, something like the overwhelming majority of people using RTK.

Also RTK doesn't teach you kanji, it only helps you reminder. Wink wink, smile!

Why do the fuck are so many people doing RTK and nothing else? It should purely be supplemental, something you do after you finished your grammar and vocab for the day.
>>
>>16555069
When you finish your grammar and vocab you should be reading.
>>
>>16555069
If you literally can't read anything yet then you should be doing /more/ grammar and vocab. You can study grammar without any trouble, and you need very little vocabulary to be able to read manga with furigana. Spending time on RTK instead of grammar/vocab when you can't even read manga with furigana is a mistake, and spending time on RTK instead of reading when you can read is also a mistake.
>>
>>16555070
I don't see much point reading in the first 1-2 months (which is all the time you should need to finish RTK and TK)
>>

>If you literally can't read anything yet
No such thing.
>then you should be doing /more/ grammar and vocab
Which you do best by reading.
>>
>>16555077
Then you haven't finished grammar. If you somehow finish TK and still can't read, you need to double down on basic vocab, not waste time on RTK for long term benefits that are literally intangible.
>>
>>16555080
This, read and read more. If you have time to do RTK, read, and if you really don't want to read, then study something that directly helps you with reading like grammar or individual words, not something that helps you learn things that help you with reading.

When vocabulary mining, how do you decide which words to save? It seems pointless to add too common words since you will most likely come across them often enough anyway, but I also don't want to waste time on vocabulary I'll never need.

This is my biggest obstacle to just consuming native materials currently. Reading without adding anything to my deck feels like a wasted opportunity. Do you just add all new words you come across and delete useless shit later?
>>
>>16555881
Just mine everything that you think will be useful, implying that you've already went through core.
>>
>>16555881
The whole idea behind Anki and similar systems is that they'll bury the ones you've already mastered; it's not something you're supposed to worry about.

I'm considering to study Japanese.
Just in hopes there's anyone in here that's studying Japanese in Germany: Do you think it's worth it? Would you recommend studying it as 75% or 50% subject?

>女と見たら見境ないクソ野郎なんだぜ
What rance philosophy do you fail to understand? Especially when it comes to THIC.
>>
>>16556067
Don't bother studying japanese in school unless it's literally free and doesn't eliminate any other useful topics. Formal language education is garbage 99% of the time and literally worse than forcing yourself to read raw material within the same amount of effort and time.
>>
>>16556067
You do it alone at home.
>>
>>16556077
>forcing yourself to read raw material within the same amount of effort and time.

>>
>>16556077
Studying in Germany is pretty much free, I can even get some money from the state.
I mainly want to do it to finally properly learn Japanese, and because I'll be able to study in Japan for one year.

But I agree, it's not a very great subject for my future. Which is why I either want to study it as a 75 or 50% subject in combination with Economics.
>>
>>16556139
Basically if there's something else productive you could study instead of japanese you should study japanese outside of school instead of inside it because it's going to be much better and much faster that way.

That's the problem, how do you determine what will be useful? Currently going through core6k.

>>16555920
That only solves the problem with common vocabulary, though, not obscure words.

>not something you're supposed to worry about
But this is just the sort of thing I worry about. Maybe the lack of organisation is part of the problem. Is it a good idea to keep separate mining decks for different media or sticking exclusively to mining from one source at a time?

But if I study something else, I'll learn for what I'm studying in my free time, not Japanese. And after that I'll have a full time job.
I can already read moege, but I'll never be able to read real Japanese books or even just harder LNs at this rate.
>>
>>16556252
If you aren't interested in the language and only out for some dumb job prospect go to /int/.
>>
>>16556252
That just means you can't actually study something else instead, so doing japanese in school just lets you study it in your free time without dropping credits (is that how their system works?)
>>
>>16556260
I don't know how you got that impression from my post. Obviously I'm interested in the language.

>>16556263
Sorry, but I do not understand what you want to tell me.
>>
>>16556269
No if you were interested you would have already started without this irrelevant subject, and would prioritize it over other things in your free time.
>>
>>16556190
> Is it a good idea to keep separate mining decks for different media

- It will break Rikaisama's duplicate detection
- You're gonna have dozens of different decks before long
- You'll have tiny decks from stuff you started and dropped unless you merge the cards into some 'other deck'
- You'll have to switch to your 'other' deck whenever you want to mine some random shit
- Literally no benefit
- Why would you even consider this
>>
>>16556269
>Sorry, but I do not understand what you want to tell me.
If studying something else means you don't have free time for studying japanese, and learning japanese is your actual goal, then you certainly shouldn't study something else. Whether you should study formally at all is a second question for you to answer yourself.

> waste time on vocabulary I'll never need.

You'll need to know almost all those useless words eventually if you want to be to good. So the question is: do I need to add this to Anki to learn it? and if you're mining a surplus (pre-10K), is this word worth prioritizing? Rikai-sama has a frequency feature that you can factor into the second decision, though it's not very reliable.
>>
>>16556190
>>16555881
[ ] Can you guess the meaning from context?
[ ] Is the reading straight-forward?
[ ] Do you already know all the kanji contained in the word?

If you can check these three boxes, don't mine it.

that feel when fell for the arch meme and now anki won't start

Anyone know what the fug is going on? The problem seems to be a missing dependency (QtWebKit) which can't even be found in the Arch repos. On top of that, Anki itself seems to have mysteriously disappeared from the Arch repos with no explanation.

At the very least, does anyone know how I can back up my progress in Anki without starting it?

Anon, you might as well try studying radicals OR simple kanji before you jump into Core.

There are about 200 radicals and this is the sure-fire way to do it, but you can also try and learn Grade 1 kanji (about 80 of them), which are baby-easy and will allow you to familiarize yourself with lots of radicals, stroke orders and stuff.

I had all of them long under my belt when I started Core and my retention never dropped below 90%.

Alright, after doing some googling, I seems like I just need to copy the "collection.anki2" file from my Anki profile's folder.

Can anyone confirm this? There's a folder within my Anki profile's folder called "backups" which would seem to me to be what I actually need, but I found no mention of that in any of the google results.

The backups are just zipped old versions of collection.anki2. You can open them with 7zip.

>>16556813
So basically it's gone from Arch indefinitely until such a time that qtwebkit is no longer a dependency of it?

Well, I guess it's distro-hopping time again. Anyone have any suggestions? I have my eye on openSUSE but really I'd consider anything that ships with KDE, has a hassle-free install and isn't Stallman-tier about what software it allows in its repos.

Hey DJT can you please give me the essential infos about text hooking in general?

I've used ITHVNR but one game didn't work and I found out AGTH can hook it just fine, even though people here called it shit.

Hook Any Text however doesn't really work with anything I tried.

Does anyone have useful text hooking guides which I'm not aware of?

Also is it possible to hook text from emulators? There is a VN on PSP I would like to read and I heard that you can hook some games, not sure which software though.

You should read before you bother trying to produce. Producing sentences which you can't understand is just silly.

触ってもよろしいでしょうか
>>
>>16558130
You're equating it with the English transitive verb "touch." Compare "put a hand on her skin".
>>
>>16558130
触れる is used when one thing is touching or being touched to another. That's why it's labeled as an intransitive verb, but you still see を used with it a lot like in my example.
手を触れる does not mean "to touch a hand" in the sense of reaching out and touching someone's hand, it means "to touch a hand" in the sense of e.g. "I touched my hand to the screen"

What does this sentence say, roughly? Having a hard time unwrapping the grammar. Something like "Against my will, I convinced myself that it was OK if I didn't know, but I came to regret the results"...?

If someone could help me out, it would be appreciated

Wanting to learn more for the manga/LN, than for anime, but does the process of learning kana/kanji also provide some level of competency for verbal japanese (both speaking and comprehension of heard words) or does that require additional methods?

If yes, and my emphasis is not on anime/VN's/overseas trip(for the foreseeable future), is it still recommended to work on speaking/comprehension skills?

Also, how much time is recommended to be able to put into learning daily? (currently in college that requires extensive lab time; free time is not always available)

Last question, what method is generally regarded as most efficient for learning japanese?

kana -> grammer -> kanji + supplemental reading?
>>
>>16559319
>does the process of learning kana/kanji also provide some level of competency for verbal japanese
Listening: it depends. VNs and video games with voice acting will help some, but you probably won't get very far without watching movies/anime/drama/etc. Speaking: no.

>is it still recommended to work on speaking/comprehension skills?
Up to you, I believe most people here don't bother with speaking.

>Also, how much time is recommended to be able to put into learning daily?
As much as you can. If you're on a tight schedule, don't spend too much time on Anki - consuming native content is more important and you should prioritize that.

>Last question, what method is generally regarded as most efficient for learning japanese?
There isn't a consensus and there can't be one because not everyone learns the same way, read the guide to learn about the pros and cons of each method and go with the one that suits your goals and circumstances best.
>>
>>16559319
Reading will make it easier to learn listening and speaking, but you'll definitely have to practice both if you want those skills. No reason to make it a priority if you're not going to use it for anything.

I'd say the absolute minimum to make meaningful progress is 1 hour a day, but you'll probably want to ramp it up later (easy enough when studying means reading fun content).

he's talking about pitch accent
猫 is 頭高型 so the first mora ね is higher in pitch
犬 is 尾高型 so the pitch is like a 平板型 word but drops on the particle following ぬ

I'm willing to bet almost everyone who makes claims like >>16555355 would mess up pitch accent the second you told them to pronounce 山 or 川

if you aren't aware certain pitch accent patterns exist then they just don't get encoded in your memory along with everything else

how do you know it's bagUETTE and not BAGuette (sounds like "baggot")?
look into japanese pitch accent.
rikaisama shows what mora to put emphasis on, with 0 being the "flat" heiban accent (it's not actually flat by the way).
check out OJAD, especially the prosody tutor: http://www.gavo.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ojad/phrasing/index
put in a word or a sentence and it shows you a pitch graph and lets you hear a computer voice say it with proper pitch
>>
>>16559523
Exactly my point.

("Baguette" is a bad example though because stress isn't lexical in French.)
>>

For the second sentence, is he using the て form to indicate cause/effect? Like, "it is an abbreviation and therefore is semi-pro?"

I know he's trying to say "that's why they call it/me semi-pro, because I'm pro at catching セミ or something like that, I just don't understand the grammar or how he goes about expressing that statement
>>
>>16559681
略す means to abbreviate
so he's saying "abbreviated, that's セミプロ"
>>
>>16559681
It's just indicating simple continuity, to link the sentence together. "Or セミ pro, for short"
>>
>>16559681
It's just a pun where he's taking something something pro something something semi and saying "Or semi-pro for short". If you applied critical thinking instead of looking at japanese like this exotic alien code language, that would be obvious and tell you how he's using て form.
>>
>>16559707
>>16559709

Thanks. I kind of dismissed the continuity part because "abbreviate-and" X didn't sound natural. Then I realized て form can also work as -ing, so it'd be like "abbreviating (that), it's semi-pro"

I think he might mean more, if you think you can actually translate word-for-word into English, you aren't really understanding what it means to be a different language.

Hi anon 先輩
I'm around N4 level and know only about few hundred kanji and grammar equivalent to DoBJG. As suggested here, I started reading a VN that's marked as easy for beginner, that is イブニク/evenicle.

My thought: it's pretty hard to understand the story even with tools like ITHVN & JPaser/Mecab (Translator Aggregator). I'm still on the first few hours, and without some help from google translate (which turns out to be surprisingly good), I don't think I would be able to make reasonable guesses of the non-trivial passages.

So here comes my question:
1) should I continue reading it, or should I be focusing on anki core/grammar book since I'm struggling too much?
2) do I have to make my own deck when playing it?
3) are there any other tips/resources that anon can share for newb like me?

thx

No but it's a VERY good idea to do so.
>are there any other tips/resources that anon can share for newb like me?

I'm still having a hard time grasping て form and its conjugations.

>Why are some verbs end up only in the て form in some sentences? Is this common? is て form still the same tense as the non-conjugated verb?

To answer your question, て-form can be used as short for てください and to link sentences (see the notes at https://djt.neocities.org/bunpou/full_night.html#%E3%8A%A6%E3%81%A6), like >>16561882 said, but another common use is て by itself at the end of the sentence to indicate hesitation/trailing off.

Why is the 戯言 series praised so much here anyway? Is there some list of best Japanese books ever with it I'm not aware of? Admittedly I only read the first volume so maybe it gets better, but while it was good and very unique it's no masterpiece you'd learn Japanese specifically to read, like Iriya.

After trying it for a while, you're right. It's okay with the live conversion turned on although pretty awkward having everything instantly convert. With it turned off it doesn't smart convert like google does. For example I have to manually choose気 for 気がする。Else it spits out 木がする。Also you can't type in English without switching back to English.

When it got to the point where very consistently the words I were looking up were so obscure/Japanese/narrowly-defined-nuance that the English definition in EDICT was consistently either nonexistent, wrong, or too vague to be helpful and thus J->J was necessary to actually find out what the word means.

I sometimes use J->E when reading harder works like on the bottom of this chart just to get the English name of nouns, like 硫黄 -> sulfur, better to just see it's "sulfur" than to relearn what sulfur is.

>I wonder if it is because programmers tend to learn Japanese over other languages.

>>16567444
It's more like any "traditional academic" materials that /do/ exist are unusably difficult to use, because there is literally zero of the language overlap required for "traditional academic" language instruction to seem like it works properly. Therefore the good type of materials are seen as usable rather than "fun alternatives that don't teach you anything because you're having fun".

In the spirit of Ixrec ( http://amaterasu.tindabox.net/guide/ ), I'm writing a grammar guide meant for people that're learning by reading. It's nowhere near done and people probably shouldn't use it yet, but:

http://pastebin.com/raw/XvUQKj1a

It's still poisoned by how ordinary guides are structured and how they explain things, and it's nowhere near done, but I think I'd better get feedback starting now, before I start writing the parts that I haven't figured out how to order yet.

Looks good, but I have to wonder: why should beginners use your guide instead of the existing ones? If you yourself admit that you're not a fluent speaker, how do you know you're not teaching them misinformation and bad habits that you picked up and are yet to correct?
>>
>>16568138
に here is the directional marker.
>>
>>16568148
In that case I'm confused why the verb is in the passive at all.
>>
>>16568157
Was inserted in the pocket.
>>
>>16568139
All I know is, all the grammar guides that cost money focus on skill building, which is inherently wrong; and the most common free ones, tae kim and imabi, are obviously flawed. Tae kim is full of misinformation and imabi is extremely difficult to use (and itself has a couple notes of unrelated misinformation in it).

>and bad habits that you picked up and are yet to correct?
I'm trying to research every piece of information I stick in here to make sure it's not wrong, so it's not like I'm just dumping my own version of japanese into it like Ixrec did with his own guide (though I'll admit Ixrec's version of japanese is a good starting point for VNs, just misleading if you treat it as gospel).

For the errors that do slip in, I hope making it public domain is enough for people to fix them and redistribute it; something that's difficult with tae kim because of its format and impossible with imabi because imabi is all-rights-reserved.
>>
>>16568139
>If you yourself admit that you're not a fluent speaker
Baby, you have no idea. Fluent isn't enough to make a grammar guide from your own head, you have to be nativelike *and* have a good grasp on linguistics. Pretty much none of the grammars on the face of the planet are made from mental principles, not even english ones made by native englishspeakers.
>>
>>16568170
Fair enough. Skimming over the first few lessons, I think you shouldn't present だ and です as equivalent terms that differ only in politeness. Of course, I'm not saying that you should explain the difference right in the first lesson, but considering that using だ with 形容詞 is one of the most common beginner mistakes, I think it's worth a mention later on. Also, this example is pretty misleading:
>道に歩く I walk the streets.
Because 1) を can be used with intransitive movement verbs like 歩く, and 2) 道を歩く is actually closer to the meaning conveyed by your English translation. If you want to demonstrate the indirect object usage of に I would suggest picking another, non-movement intransitive verb.
>>
>>16568287
Thanks.

I make note of だ with 形容詞 the moment I introduce 形容詞, but I'll be sure to emphasize that they don't just differ in terms of politeness in the first lesson.
>>
>もしかしたら、夢に破れた自分がいるかもしれない。
To clarify this is talking about parallel world existences, that's what the もしかしたら is about. Does this mean "A me that was torn apart by his dreams" or "A me that tore apart his dreams"? I think it's the former because in the latter it would use を instead of に, right? But then again, it isn't in passive form so... the latter?
>>
>>16568287
I actually think that the "treat indirect objects like they're direct objects" thing for motion verbs is the same between japanese and english. It's super weird.

Are american accents distinguishable from british accents in japanese?

I hate the fact that potential form and passive form look the same for る verbs SO MUCH. I've read 2 VNs, 9 LNs, and 2 novels, and I STILL run into situations where I can't figure out whether the verb is supposed to be conjugated into potential or passive.

Anyone else ever feel like they're in a rut when it comes to learning Japanese? I've covered vocabulary from N5 to N4, completed Tae Kim, and I'm able to carry basic conversations with Japanese people on Periscope. Yet I still feel like I know absolutely nothing. It's so hard to balance class-studies and self-studies, especially because learning a language is a huge investment in terms of time.
Yeesh...

Prolly a very simple question, but I've been working on it for an hour already and still cant manage to understand what is going on with it.

I've passed N4 a year ago, kind of barely also, and now I am prepping for N2 altogether cuz I've been studying jap for over 3 years and still pussied out of N3 when I had a solid chance of applying for it.

What I am saying is, do things at your own pace, dont let >>16571894 fag make you feel bad only cuz u are not learning in his ways. It is important to think about it though and try to answer if you really want to learn it, if so, then I dont think there is any problem.

Sorry, but what's the difference between 温度、気温 and 温暖? They all basically mean the same thing, a temperature, yet the only hint of a difference I have is that 温度 is used in more of a room-space type of temp, but 気温 and 温暖 both seem to be used for the temperature outside. Truth be told I do remember 温暖化 from Yotsubato, but it still does not ring a bell to me as of what is the difference may be.

気温 is just that - air temperature. So the temperature outside, in a room, in a car, in a freezer, etc.
温度 is for other things that you can touch - a drink, food, chemicals, a heater, etc.
温暖 means "warm" and is often used to describe climates.

What meaning does だけど add to the sentence here?

先生から今日は授業がないと聞いたんだけど。

tae kim says that the sentence translates to "I heard from the teacher that there is no class today.", but that doesn't make sense to me since I'm thinking that there should be a "but" or "however" in there somewhere
>>
>>16572367
you learn that shit from reading anyways so theres no reason to learn what ur gonna learn anyways, plus anki is bloated with words you wouldnt actualy encounter like buissness terms so you waste even more time

people are just little bitches and wont read because of the reading wall. man the fuck up and take it straight up the ass and you can be a japanese master in a year. dont be a little bitch and wait for a really hard thing to be slightly less hard by doing anki. ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE FUCKING HARD
>>
>>16572384
That actually makes some sense, I am impressed.
What will you recommend then?
>>
>>16572378
It implies a bit of hesitancy attached to the statement. It can appear in a number of situations. Using that sentence, it could be

(A: 今日の授業に何をもっていけばいいのかな?)
B:先生から今日は授業がないと聞いたんだけど。

or

先生から今日は授業がないと聞いたんだけど(本当かな?)

Or something else. Usually, the meaning can be sensed from the context.

why do people keep saying Fureraba is easy?
It covers a bunch of topics, and some language can be confusing for some sections from the slang and how some people talk, it really shouldnt be that low put another moege there.
Fureraba is like a 2.5
>>
>>16572392
He's bullshitting you.
First of all, "business terms" appear all over the place, and those in Core2k/6k are especially common ones you'll find anywhere.
Second of all, he's doing an "appeal to manliness". Work smart, not hard. There's nothing manly about wasting time doing harder and inefficient work. It's like running 100 miles versus driving 100 miles. You can pound your chest all you like about how manly it is to run 100 miles, but the person driving is going to get to their destination far sooner.
Third of all, he's committing a false dichotomy by implying if one does anki one won't read. Do both, as they're both effective.
Fourth of all, you will not be a Japanese master in a year, you'll just be okay.
Fifth of all, you will learn vocabulary from reading, but only through copious dictionary usage, which is what Anki helps lessen significantly by aiding memory so that you have to use the dictionary less, ultimately saving time and being more effective. His strategy will likely lead to extreme reliance on auto dictionary tools to read anything, unlike anki which establishes independence - just you and a word/kanji to recall, no dictionaries.

Basically: He's wrong and used fallacious, emotional arguments to convince you when in reality his argument has no weight and is mistaken in many areas.
>>
>>16572294
Looks like chuuni to me
>>
>>16572384
>>16572384
You're right but it's hard as fuck to commit to something like that. Anki at least builds your knowledge base and confidence over time.

I don't need Anki for Japanese anymore but I've been using a sentence deck for Chinese. It's been extremely helpful in building my vocabulary and grammar base for reading stuff and watching dramas.

Vocab decks are definitely dog shit

You are right. I didn't clarify enoguh. You can also pick up words through context, BUT a beginner picking up reading with a vocabulary close to 0 due to no anki will not be able to do that, they won't know enough Japanese - they'll have to look up just about every word in a dictionary, not to mention that they won't even know Kanji to guess from. Advanced, you can pick up vocab just from reading, but a beginner, not so much.

That's true of pretty much any moege at the 2 level. Like Flyable Heart is another common rec, but it has a fair bit of scifi vocab and that water fight scene, it's no easier than Fureraba. I'd question how many VNs you've read if you think Fureraba's that difficult.

Fureraba is actually noticably more difficult than other "level 2" moege in practice, and that's the reason it was removed from the "any easy-looking VN" section of the no-idea-what-i'm-doing chart too.

It's perfectly good reading practice and someone can probably read it as a first "real content" if they know the words and grammar (the same couldn't be said about 3-and-higher VNs); but there's still VNs that obviously sit between it and the hanahira tier.

Does that work for people? It only shows 100% for me.

I don't really understand code, but it seems:

sum(case when ease > 1 and type == 1 and ivl >= 180 then 1 else 0 end), /* passed_supermature */
sum(case when ease = 1 and type == 1 and ivl >= 180 then 1 else 0 end), /* flunked_supermature */

Makes it so it only counts successfully reviewed cards as any that you fail would drop below 180.

Also: _line_now(self, i, "Supermatute rate", temp_supermature)
>Supermatute
>>
>>16573553
Yeah, I didn't check it for typos or anything.

>Does that work for people? It only shows 100% for me.
Congrats, you have 100% retention of long term information.

>>16573553
>Makes it so it only counts successfully reviewed cards as any that you fail would drop below 180.
The "ease" here refers to the "ease" of the answer (flunk, hard, good, easy), rather than the ease of the card.

I'm assuming "and ivl >= 180" means interval of 180 days since it's called Supermature.

Regardles of whether Dies is hard or not, it's definitely among the hardest in terms of VNs, sure you can point at a couple authors and games as being harder but it's still up there.

Well on arch the package only used to be very small because all the python and qt libraries are part of the OS and the anki executable could link to them.

The anki20 package in the AUR still creates such a linked executeable, thus it won't work unless you downgrade python2-pyqt4 to 4.12-1.

Just go to the anki website and download the latest stable zip that comes with everything you need included, so it should work on any OS.

Someone could make an AUR package that does just that and puts the extracted folder to /opt/, but I guess no one cares right now since it's easy to download yourself.

Can someone explain how adding という to a subordinate clause changes anything or serves a purpose? You still have to add の, もの, or こと to make it a noun phrase so that you can modify it right? Consider the following sentences:

独身だというのは、嘘だったの?

Why the という?
>>

Hard to explain, because it's incredibly common and used in many different ways, but maybe think of it as "the fact that" or something like that. Read the DoJG entries if you haven't, they will probably help.

My biggest problem with pronunciation is the がぎぐげご sound set. Sometimes natives smooth out the opening of the syllable, producing a soft "n-" sound, instead of the "g-" sound written in every textbook. I haven't discerned a pattern for when this is supposed to happen so I'm guessing every time.
>>
>>16576971
You have to understand pitch first. But these days, few natives, even NHK announcers, know exactly where to use the nasal g. I wouldn't worry about it. (I use the plosive g and the fricative g, but not the nasal g, essentially in free variation.)

発音は2つじゃなくて3つだよ:破裂音、鼻音、摩擦音 。
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%BC%BB%E6%BF%81%E9%9F%B3
> 現在は、ガ行鼻濁音の使用自体が、全体に衰退傾向となっている。東北方言では、濁音弁別要素としてのガ行鼻濁音は、音韻体系上一連のものである語中清音の有声化・濁音子音の入り渡り鼻音の衰退と軌を一にして、若年層を中心に衰退傾向が著しい。東京方言では、条件異音の条件を使いこなせない話者が増えて、自由異音となったり全く使わなくなったりする話者が若年層を中心に多い。この傾向は、従来は厳格なガ行鼻濁音の東京方言式の使い分け教育を受けてきたはずの、俳優・タレントや在東京民放(キー局)各局の若手アナウンサーにも見られ、民放の約2/3、NHKでも約1/3の若手アナウンサーが東京方言式鼻濁音を使っていないという指摘がある。

It has nothing to do with pitch. The consonant sounds in がぎぐげご are to be realized as velar nasals (the ng in king) whenever they aren't in word-initial position, or stressed for emphasis. Otherwise they are voiced velar plosives/stops (g as in get) sometimes getting fucked up as velar fricatives (effectively allophone in casual speech). Not using the nasal sound sounds bad. It's one of the first thing they teach voice actors.
>>
>>16577350

Wrong. That's only one of the accent (as in dialect accent, not pitch accent or stress accent) system for velar nasal g sounds in japanese.

>>16577652
Hitting the button on the far left counts as an again, which lowers your retention. If you hit again on new card your retention will always show up as lower than it actually is, like when you see your retention at 60% you'll have to remind yourself "Yeah but 20 of those cards were new ones, so the amount that I forgot is actually [...]" and so on. It skews the retention statistic. Only hit again on cards you learned but don't remember.

That's what the "Good" button is for, anon.

Good and easy both make the card appear again shortly after on the same day, they're practically identical in that regard. So the only difference between which of the two you press is that one of them lowers your retention.

When you get all your young and mature cards right on a given day your retention that day was 100% (This is the point you need to dispute if you want to keep up with my autism) and the only button of the two that achieves that outcome is Good.

No one fucking cares about semantics and your definition of failing a card or whatever, you're literally knowingly skewing your own statistics just because you want to stick to your interpretation of "passing a card."
>>
>>16577926
>Good and easy both make the card appear again shortly after on the same day
Actually "Easy" skips this process, which is the only reason to use it for new cards (but in that case you should just bury it since you should only use Easy on new cards if you literally-actually-seriously already know them)

Reps and learning cards:
Again - Hard - Good - Easy
New cards and lapses:
Again - Good - Easy
You should not press "Again" on new cards unless you managed to flip it without trying to recall the back side, such as if you have it automatically flip on a timer and hadn't gotten it yet. That's the *only* time you should use "Again" on new cards. Otherwise, you should just add a new step to the new card / lapse system.

Also, after the first time you press something other than Again on a new/lapsed card, it becomes a learning card.

Fucking hell just realized I mistook both the hard and again button here

The first option makes it show up indefinitely. Literally all it does is show you the card again and damage your stats. Because the card is a new card it doesn't do anything else at all.

Why? You are given three options to answer when doing new cards.

>Again
I have no idea what this card means.

I was able to deduce what the card meant from previous kanji meanings. Go me!

You're pretty much using anki wrong.
>>
>>16577962
>>Again
>I have no idea what this card means.
Wrong. See >>16577952

It's entirely more time effetive to use an extra interval rather than press "Again" because "Again" brings the card up too quickly for the second exposure to solidify your memory of the card in any way.

I obviously know more about anki than you and you haven't even actually argued against what I said, just repeated yourself. Clearly, you have to take a step back and reanalyze how you to approach this argument.
>>
>>16577969
>Wrong. See >>16577952
All I'm seeing is a 'my stats!' argument there. How is that proving it wrong? You get the card wrong, you press again. It's pretty logical.
>>
>>16577978
>All I'm seeing is a 'my stats!' argument there.

Did you even read?

>Because the card is a new card it doesn't do anything else at all.

>Be grateful that the anki devs had enough foresight to prevent "Again" from affecting the ease/exponent of new cards to avoid people like you shooting yourselves in the foot even more than you already are.

Does "Again" say "Flunk" or "Fail"? No? Yeah, no. "Again" says "Again". As in "do it again". For new cards, "do it again" is not the correct response to not knowing it, especially considering that *anki is specifically designed to show you new cards multiple times*.

If you press "Good" on a new card, then 10 minutes later you recognize it correctly, congratulations! Since you passed a 10 minute interval, you deserve to have passed a 10 minute interval! There was no need to press "Again" on it in the first place, and even if you would have flunked the 10 minute interval, all pressing "Again" in the first place would have done is waste your time and damage your stats, because the 1 minute interval on Again is not long enough to cause any memory consolidation benefits.
>>
>>16577978
Literally all you're doing is causing the card to appear again.

There is absolutely no benefit to it.

None.

Not even an abstract benefit.

Not even a philosophical benefit.

There is literally no benefit at all, and you spend extra time and effort because you have to see the card an extra time.
>>
>Dudes, never press Again on new cards!
>That option was put there just to confuse newbies so they won't learn Japanese!
I'm quoting the retard.
>>
>>16578024
>That option was put there just to confuse newbies so they won't learn Japanese!
Actually it was put there for unusual uses of anki like automatically flipping cards after X time passes without an answer. The more you know!
>>
>>16577989
>Did you even read?
The stuff you quoted means absolutely nothing. Your first quote is still crying about your stats. The second is about a design feature of anki so you can't lower the ease of a card when it's in the learn/relearn phase... which is relevant how?

>For new cards, "do it again" is not the correct response to not knowing it, especially considering that *anki is specifically designed to show you new cards multiple times*.
On the contrary, "again" is the perfect response to not knowing it. You get to look at the card, properly examine the word and meanings, then get to check again in very quick order. If you got it correct, then you can answer "Good" and move on to the next step.

>If you press "Good" on a new card, then 10 minutes later you recognize it correctly, congratulations! Since you passed a 10 minute interval, you deserve to have passed a 10 minute interval!
Perhaps you should run a 30 minute interval after that. That way you can preserve your stats and press good on it anyway :^)
>>
>>16578031
How about you actually respond to what you're quoting instead of repeating yourself?
>>
>>16578031
>On the contrary, "again" is the perfect response to not knowing it.
How is telling anki to show you the card one more time than it does by default an appropriate response to not knowing it? Remember, you are literally not even getting any memory consolidation benefits from this, so you're literally just making the card show up one extra time and wasting your time. If you were supposed to see new cards again a minute after first seeing them, "Good" would do that. Because "Good" is the button you press when everything is going according to plan.
>>
>>16578031
>On the contrary, "again" is the perfect response to not knowing it. You get to look at the card, properly examine the word and meanings, then get to check again in very quick order. If you got it correct, then you can answer "Good" and move on to the next step.

If you want to see the card an extra time, then you want to add a new step to new cards, because then you can use a larger interval before you see the card and actually get a memory consolidation benefit from it. Not "press again, look at me I don't understand how anki works but I'm still deliberately applying my misunderstanding to how I use it"
>>
>>16577962
Again is for cards you have forgotten. Once learned but forgotten. Not for new cards. This why Again affects the retention stat, that's what retention means.
>>
>>16578060
It's for "information" you've forgotten, not just new cards. If you made a mining deck out of words you can recognize by identity but not what they mean/say, then "again" can be a reasonable first answer to such a card if you get it wrong, because you're *supposed to know it*.

This is not true of 99% of the cards you see in a shared deck, and it's not true of normal mining decks (ones made of words you just don't know) either.
>>
>>16578064
not just forgotten cards*
>>
By the way, the purpose of the 1 minute interval on lapses is to let you know how badly you forgot the card. If you can recall it after a 1 minute interval after lapsing it, then it's not a bad leech. But if you can't, then it might be a bad leech, and you should be careful with it.
>>
>>16578064
Eh I don't know about that. If your mining backlog is huge and full of regular words you saw in a non memorable context you shouldn't blame yourself for not recognizing it months later.
But I'll admit in this case it's just my subjective opinion, I can see why someone would go with again for new cards in a mining deck.
>>
>>16578081
Yeah, I should have been more specific that the kind of deck I was describing is rare.
>>
>アタシは好き勝手やって、自分の儲けを追及してるだけだからね
Is that a kanji typo on 追及? Seems like it should be 追求.
>>
>>16578060
Then why does it even give you the option to push again on new cards?
>>
>>16578141
Because of >>16578029 and >>16578064
Anki wasn't designed around shared decks, it was designed around making cards for material that you were already studying. In such a case, the distinction between Again and Good for new cards is obvious. Like if you were taught what the past conjugation of a particular irregular verb was in class, but didn't remember it once it came around to your flashcards.
>>
>>16578151
So you're saying it's for cards you got wrong. Gotcha.
>>
>>16578158
Yeah, for cards you actually got wrong.

If you've never seen the information on a card before, or it's been so long that you're right to forget it, it's not wrong to not know it, so you didn't get it wrong.
>>
>>16578170
At least for the Core decks you'll see maybe 75% of the cards used in the example sentences on earlier cards.
>>
>>16578177
Don't bring up random exceptions you know you don't feel like defending yourself. If it's a new card you don't recognize you can't know whether you could know it, don't make this more complicated than it needs to be.
>>
>>16578181
>random exceptions
Core is pretty much the staple deck of /djt/.

>If it's a new card you don't recognize you can't know whether you could know it
Or it's more likely you've failed to recognise it, even though you're familiar with it from example sentences on earlier cards.
>>
>>16578177
>At least for the Core decks you'll see maybe 75% of the cards used in the example sentences on earlier cards.
Those example sentences are not learning material and you're not supposed to translate them, they only exist to explain how the english translation of the word is used. Core is not a sentence deck.
>>
>>16578177
iKnow actually specifically crafted the example sentences to avoid using unintroduced words unnecessarily.
>>
>>16578212
That was probably before it got [optimised].
>>
>>16578219
Yeah, "optimised".
>>
>>16578151
I use the setting that randomizes the order of new cards, so it's not too uncommon for me to get a new word that I mined the day before and can still remember.

But it literally doesn't matter. Pressing again on a new card delays it for what, like 1 minute? It's practically still in your short term memory by then. Doesn't give you time to do the retrieval and reconsolidation that Anki is based around. So you basically just waste your time doing one extra rep that doesn't significantly improve your chance of remembering the word. If you were meant to click again on new cards, they would have given it the 10 minute timer.
>>
>>16578223
>I use the setting that randomizes the order of new cards
I see.

Your opinion about shared decks is objectively irrelevant then.
>>
>>16578223
You're not wrong in general, but you still shouldn't use randomized order.
>>
>>16578224
I also did core back in the day and often found new words that I had a pretty good idea of, but wasn't quite sure enough to press easy. Particularly when I have never seen the word before, but I make a correct guess, I feel it qualifies as a pass, but not as easy.

>>16578231
Why not? Seems like purely a preference thing, and I tend to be not quite as motivated to add new words when I know I'm absolutely guaranteed to not get to it before I get through my 1000 words backlog.
>>
>>16578257
The main reason is that, generally, cards that are added earlier to a deck should be studied earlier, and cards that are added later to the deck should be studied later.

Anki's card randomization doesn't discriminate at all, so you can end up with early cards that it never actually introduces, unless exhaust the available cards at some point.

The randomization is for people that exhaust what they add to their deck on a regular basis, basically. In that case, it makes information reintroduction slightly stronger since there's no serial recognition effect (i.e. "This is the card that comes after が and I can remember that it's a na-adjective of an emotion")
>>
>>16578269
At the point I'm currently at, I see very little correlation between how early I add a word and how important it is to learn it as quickly as possible. I mean, some of the first cards in my deck are baseball words, since when I made the deck I was reading a VN that involved baseball. Really wouldn't have mattered if those got delayed for months.

And never getting to the new cards I added months ago gets really unlikely the more time goes by, since every day I'll have another chance to get them. Also pretty sure I can just manually put a card to the top of the queue if I feel I really need to learn it right away.
>>
What is 測り損ねる? And why can't I find it in dictionaries
>>
Here's what I do, but I modified my anki setting so I have to get new cards right 3 times instead of just 2 times.

>new card shows up and I already know it or guessed it correctly with relative ease
Either hit easy so I don't waste time on stuff I already know, or just delete the card depending on the situation.

>new card shows up that I got correct, but it took me a while or I had just a vague understanding
Hit good, then maybe easy if it shows up again and I feel like I'll be able to retain it for 4 days. And even if I fail it after 4 days, no harm is done.

>new card shows up that I don't know
Hit good, when I get it wrong later in the same session I'll hit again, until I get it good 3 times in a row.
>>
>>16578325
Simply 測る modified with the 損ねる auxiliary verb. Without knowing the context, it should be something along the lines of "failing to measure", or even "failing to anticipate"

Oh I thought I was making good progress and that Anki helped crystallize what I read in RTK. The guide lists RTK as the first Kanji learning resource and gives you an Anki deck right after so I didn't think I was doing something wrong. How did I fuck up by thinking about readings? If they are at least somewhat commonly similar for one Kanji it might be worth remembering so I can guess the reading of a word from time to time no? I guess I won't if you all say it's useless then. I only started a couple weeks ago honestly.

What you described is only a first approximation (which I agree is more than enough) to the use of nasal g in the traditional Tokyo dialect.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%BC%BB%E6%BF%81%E9%9F%B3
> 伝統的東京方言における使用法則
> しかし、実際には、複合語の2つ目以下の造語成分の冒頭にガ行子音が来る場合に、「語頭扱い」なのか「語中扱い」なのかを巡り、かなり複雑な使用法則がある。この場合、融合度が高い場合には鼻濁音が用いられるが、融合度が必ずしも高くない場合、また連濁と言えない複合語の場合には、「語頭扱い」となって非鼻濁音が用いられる。

My understanding was that this complication about 融合度 is also related to the composite word rule for pitch, but I may be wrong.

>>That's only one of the accent system
> It's the only one that matters.
Not him. I agree that foreigners should just stick to the standard dialect and learn it well (including things like pitch) before even thinking about regional dialects. But the traditional Tokyo dialect is not the standard dialect! I wouldn't insist on the dying art of nasal g.
