Is there a deck that has the stroke order of all of the kanji in .gif form similar to what is found on jisho? I looked but couldn't find one. I also can't seem to download the gifs from jisho, so I couldn't make one myself, though I want to.

Rikaisama Anki import is broken for me. Nothing is popping up on Anki when I press the import button and I only hear the audio play when I press the import button. Everything is updated, restarted both Anki and Firefox, and still won't work. Anyone having the same issue?

It was working a few days ago, but I tried that just in case. Didn't do anything to fix the problem. Normally there's at least a yellow popup on Anki to indicate something, but there's nothing on Anki's end. Tried reinstalling the addon and that didn't do anything either.

What is "なによ"?

I swear to god I google so many questions so many times and can rarely find any answers without just directly asking /djt/, even for questions that I find have a non-technical answer or is just basic grammar, or phrase, or word. Googling phrases listed in the guide doesn't help, nor does trying 20 different english expressions. I also rarely find any answers in the DOJG or other grammar websites. Am I doing something wrong with how I'm searching for answers? I hate relying on and bugging /djt/ with shitty questions but I can't seem to fucking find any answers by myself

Is anki's import feature not working for anyone else?

Why do these fags sound like they're saying に when they pronounce ぎ? Fuck off.

Because there is something wrong with your hearing

How did you guys learn kanji if you think all the methods of learning kanji are bad?

>>133878040
Weird. I don't really get why mine isn't working then. Maybe it's on Anki's side since there isn't even an Anki popup (usually there's at least that when something is broken on Firefox/Rikai's end), but I'm not really sure how to fix it.

>>133878286
Obviously we don't.

>>133878286

Because their capita is very low. I'm gonna pull some numbers out of my ass to demonstrate.

Say the US has 1 million citizens, and the UAE has 10.
US has a per capita emission of 0.5, so their overall emission is 500,000.
The UAE has a per capita emission of 100, so their total emission is 10,000.

So even though each UAE citizen is causing 200 times emission than each US citizen, their overall is emission is 50 times lower.

It's more like the opposite if you listened to Part 1. Originally we were supposed to meet up and just have some fun and then just be long-time penpals after that. She said she could handle it even if she fell in love but nah, she fell in love completely. I was okay with just staying friends just as we first agreed on so I said maybe we should continue talking, but as friends, but she ended up going crazy just by me suggesting it. I guess it's a common reaction for people that've never been with someone that treats you well. They end up thinking "he's the only one" or "she's the only one" as a result. Not a very good mindset to have.

It doesn't actually help because I listen to it while driving, and for some reason that means my brain just erases it from memory as soon as it ends.

I'm hoping that my subconscious mind is storing bits and scraps that'll resurface when I encounter them elsewhere.

in the english language is there a difference between often and usually?
just thinking if both could apply to よく

>>133884799
Yes. A long time.

I just despise Anki yet I know it's the most efficient way of learning. If I don't learn something efficiently, I don't bother.

There is no scientific evidence of major differences in learning between individuals. The whole "audio/visual/etc" system is pop psuedo-science.

Be honest about it: there is nothing you will accept as evidence in order to protect your worldview. The fact that people learn differently is fully understood and taken advantage of at every elite educational institute and workplace. The masses are all forces to cram the same things inside their heads the same way while the people who actually run the world are given unique and specialised training for their skills from day one.

Just because our educational methods are retarded doesn't mean people all learn differently. It means they aren't learning at all, because the methods are shit.

Essentially 人がいない means "there exists no person/people" while 人がない means "(the thing of) people doesn't exist"

Ex:
子供がある (I have kids. Ie (The thing of (having)) kids exists)
子供がいる (Some/a) kid(s) exist

日本語を話す人がいる　Would mean 'People Speaking Japanese exist (in this thread)'

While

日本語を話す人がある　Would mean '(The thing of) People Speaking Japanese exists in this thread' -> "(This thread) has (People Speaking Japanese).

Any ideas on what word しよう is meant to be? There are shitloads of homophones for it in Rikiasama but none of them seem to fit. This is why I like kanji even if it's kanji I don't know. It leaves no ambiguity as to which word is in use.

Started anki after like 8 months of reading, along with dropping AGTH. Added stuff fairly sparingly, focusing on things that I knew I had looked up multiple times before but was still not remembering. Then as I got better and wasn't encountering new words as often I started adding pretty much anything with a new kanji or a weird reading that I didn't already know.

>>133888609
For me, it's way too much. Anything over 150 is horrible for me. I'd do zero if I thought I'd be confident enough to learn without it.

It's pretty much the defining pun of Ika Musume and, along with でゲソ, her personal speech trait. Every episode title in the anime ends in なイカ too.

>>133888506
Pretty much.
I had watched anime intensively for a couple years before I started reading. Was able to watch the easiest of anime raw at about the time I started reading.

That said, I'm not sure my method was optimal. The DJT prescription of starting out with Anki is probably not a bad one.
The bigger problem is when/if you stop using it or limit your use of it.

It's hard to say how word learning is best done. It's a complicated process. There's research that points to the fact that many important words and expressions are too rarely used to be learned efficiently from repeated exposure by reading.

Read a shitload and was very disciplined in my reading. Had an iron rule the first couple of years of learning: "at least one hour reading a day". Also did RTK which enabled me to jump straight into the meat of it all.

Planning to go through JGTMW and DOJG after that, I don't really know when I'll be able to start reading and pickup vocab. I can talk with natives through hellotalk and only use the dictionary when I encounter a kanji I do not know.

10k hat a lot of the JLPT N1 words, so that's definitely going to help. Never used JGTMW, but I bought all 3 volumes of DOJG and 日本語文型辞典, all of which are useful to look stuff up.
I never read them from end to end or did any other form of organized study with them though.

For the JLPT, I used the Shin Kanzen Master books.

I bought all the N2 ones then realized that I already knew all the vocab from the core decks and that listening is so easy since I've been listening to seiyuu-radio-shows for ages, so I only got the reading and grammar ones for N1.

If your goal is the JLPT specifically, getting some of those mock tests won't hurt either.

>>133889145
1. Read Tae Kim while you do the Core deck. It shouldn't take you more than a month.
2. Once you've got a vocubulary base of about 2k words, it's time to start reading. Go with easy manga with furigana like Yotsubato or Ika Musume. Finish Core6k.
3. Start a mining deck. Add any unknown word you find to a text file and import them with Epwing2Anki, or just add it with Rikaisama's Realtime Import feature.
3. Once you get a feel for basic Japanese grammar, start reading moege with text hookers (Chiitrans Lite recommended). The typical recommendation around here is Hanahira then Flyable Heart.

If you want to go through the DOJG, there are two approaches and you can (and should) do both. These approaches are:
1. Download the grammar reference in the OP that has the example sentences, formation tables and volume/page reference so you can read the notes. You can look up any unknown grammar point easily with it.
2. Download the DOJG Anki deck:
https://mega.nz/#F!HlFTiCxI!I3_D5C9_NyysiMHOfr0pkw
Go through it slowly and read the notes carefully. It'll make your reading skills skyrocket.

This is only for reading but what you need at the start is a great amount of comprehensive input before you even think of producing or else you'll just make wrong sentences.

Now for other skills, you can:
Listening: Use JLPT study material for a systematic approach. There's also JapanesePod101 (most audio files are in the CoR). Once you can listen well enough, you switch to news, TV shows or anime.
Writing: Use lang8 or Hellotalk. Preferably lang8 because they actually bother correcting you.
Speaking: Search for a Skype language partner in the lang8 forums.

It also lists "Isn't it" at a definiton, which makes a whole lot more sense in that context.

Anyway, this is already a whole lot easier with context. Take a look at that image.
You can see that there's an illustration of a character there, this illustration is a 描き下ろし, a commissioned drawing or a drawing which has been made for a specific purpose. It's a poster, with a drawing on it. It doesn't become very much more specific-purpose oriented than that.

じゃないか (isn't it) is a rhetorical question. This rhetorical question is a result of the speaker seeing the drawing and noting that it is a 描き下ろし. It's just a statement formulated as a rhetorical question, Japanese does this a lot.

Not really, I see those less than once a day in games. 頑張る is often spelled in hiragana in kid stuff.

What's this? I'm shit at finding Kanji

>>133892013
suki is like, daisuki is love, koisuru is actual romantic love

>>133892416
味

>>133892416
Open Google Translate and draw it, you lazy fucking cunt.

>>133892400
Stop reading kids stuff.
And seeing it kana or hearing it is almost as good (hearing it is just as good). If you have the word internalized it's really easy to associate it to the kanji. And really you here 頑張る multiple times in pretty much any basic sol anime episode.

>>133892432
Yes, but culturally I thought suki was stronger than the English word "like"

>>133892043
It seems like you avoided my original question or I don't get it. Would it work with something like 本 ?

>>133892471
Sorry I didn't fall for the look up each word in a chuuni moege in the dictionary to avoid actually learning how to read meme.

>>133892457
I tried with jisho, google translate and some others. I'm not very used to radicals yet.
>>133892455
Thank you

>>133892496'
Why 本? You said focus on "every" hence the 全体的に.

Well, you didn't try very hard, did you?

>>133892511
And that's why you suck at Japanese.

I didn't know the circle was actually a square.

You didn't have to. I really don't believe you tried. This shit works no matter how horrible and ignorant you are regarding kanji.

Why, Chinese people?

>>133892647
Circles don't even exist in kanji.

>>133892270
>duplicates
I don't know how it works with automatic import via rikai but when I import manually its set to update when the first field matches. There are some cases where duplicates may still exists such as 撓わ and 撓 or when there's a possibility it might update wrongly such as 本 but for the most part those are easy enough to manage.

Chinese mainlanders use simplified tho

>>133892739
>top half of the character is just the same element repeated 3x
>half of the bottom half is just the same element repeated 2x
Could be worse.

This probably isn't even a real character anyway.

>>133892739
Because they're cunts with no imagination.

This was the highest "real" stroke count, that isn't just repeated characters like that one

I see a spider with two handguns next to chopper from one piece

>>133892887
This one is pretty easy to remember though.

>>133892968
To write tho...

>>133892334
You need to learn all of them, and you'll be using japanese a lot longer than the time it takes you to go through the core deck. The order doesn't matter all that much in the long run.

>靈覺
Still comprehensible while kyuujitai

Good thing it's identical to 性 in meaning.
