Who cares about retention rate? If you see the card once then don't rememeber it the second time, that decreases your rate... so who the fuck cares? The ONLY thing that matters is that you remember them at the end of the day, and even that is arguable.

Retention rate is just something idiots fap to so they can pretend like they're better than they are.

Unless you miss new cards 3 times each most of the reps are older cards, and consistently getting 50% retention rates is not optimal at all.

But I guess we could just tell the person who is worried about his retention rate that any rate is OK and he should keep doing everything the way he does now.

I think 'goal' would be a better translation, but yes according to Japanese sites 狙い does translate to 'aim' as in the 'aim' of doing something.

So yeah I guess you're correct. I think 'goal' or 'target' would work to but I can't be sure because I don't kow the context.

Anything less than 100% can be improved, I don't think it's meaningful or helpful to divide lines at 70%, 80%, or 90% and make up nonsense about when which is okay. After thinking about it, that kind of division is probably based on one's own experience - "I got 80% while doing my deck so anything lower than that is pretty bad". I don't really see how pushing one own experience on others is a good thing.

>>
>>134046510
His question was
>How much % correct rate I'm supposed to have with 20 new cards a day and averaging 200~250 reps per day?
The answer to that is not to make meaningless lines of division at random percentages, the answer is that is no "proper" percentage level. Just that higher is better so supplement anki with reading, writing, etc etc and let everything take care of itself.
>>
>>134046574

"The answer is that is no "proper" percentage level" is the answer as I said. He's not supposed to have any percentage in particular.

>>134046655
The real answer is "You should set your own personal standards on how much you are willing to get wrong and forget and how much you want to retain. You can refer to other people's standards as a way to gauge how hardcore you want to be."

>in order to learn Korean, you not only have to learn most of the sounds in Japanese but also additional sounds, many whose difference I can’t even tell.
Isn't he Korean though?
>>134048228
Look up lingq and how it works, it should become very obvious how he learns them quickly, though the past must have been pretty hard.
That said he does use flashcards sometimes, like when he was memorizing the hanzi (only for first 1,000 though).
>>
>>134048149
Any Japanese person or intermediate learner wouldn't have an issue with that. Read it out and not a single Japanese would misunderstand. Kim is a Russian born gook, not exactly the best person for advice either way.
>>
>>134048228
>Imagine how much time he must waste having to look up the same words over and over before he eventually learns them.

That's literally what you do in Anki as well
>>
>>134048294
Oh look, it's the "Japanese can't have any faults!!!!" guy again.
>>
>>134048309
The time spent hitting "enter" on anki to show the back is far less than the time it would take him to open a physical dictionary (pre-internet) or look up a word online (pre-linq). So for most of Steve's life, anki is much much faster than manually looking up words
>>
>>134048309
No it's not. Testing yourself is fundamentally different to looking up the answers every time.

You "literally" could not have misrepresented Anki and more than that.

He's right though, I watch GCCX and whenever those old NES games are pure kana, Kanchou doesn't break a goddamn sweat and speed reads them no problem. Think of it this was. If you can understand spoken speak, why would kana be that difficult?
>>
>>134048390
One might also argue that precisely because it's so easy, you are training your brain to expect being able to find the definition of a word at a moments notice, and therefore it doesn't place a huge priority on committing that memory. But if you had to look up words in a book every time, the brain would remember the struggle and thus store the vocab much more easily to avoid going through that again.

>>134048412
When reading something with words you are testing yourself as well. No one just instantly looks up words, they take a moment to try and see if they understand it. Just like flashcards.

You realise you're talking about an actor in a scripted show, right?

>If you can understand spoken speak, why would kana be that difficult?
Visual recognition and aural recognition are two different things. With speech you have intonation and other audible clues which help you discern where one word ends and the next begins.
>>
>>134048576
Ok.
>>
>>134048606
Putting aside that the filming is live-action, if you watch some Japanese 実況プレイ's of old NES games you'll see them not struggled at all.

Spaces. Tae Kim used spaces and said they didn't help.

The point of spaced repetition is to make it possible to rote memorize extremely large amounts of information without stuff you're better at taking up time that would be better spent on the little shit.

The format of a SRS-friendly flashcard -- little enough information to be easy to memorize accurately -- is very good for SRS, but increases the amount of exposure you need before you learn the thing.

Encountering new words three times in the same paragraph makes me memorize that single word forever. I only need to see it like one more time in a week, then one more time in a year, and I know it forever.

Thing is, getting new words while reading is a lot slower than flashcards, and reading fluidly is pretty much impossible if you have fewer than 2000 or so words, even if you have a texthooker or rikai.

There's reasons that the most common advice here is to memorize the first several words but start reading as soon as possible.
>>
>>134049309

Well it's time to wake up because just about every word from n5 through n1 is absolutely essential.
Read a book, anon, read news articles. You need to learn the words in those. And you will find that the words in books and articles match up with the JLPT vocab list fairly closely.

I've done my reps while high and while drunk.

I found that weed did not influence my ability to recall words very much, nor did it affect my short term memory a whole lot.

Alcohol made concentrating a whole lot more difficult, and negatively affected my short term memory when learning new cards.

European languages are pretty useful too.
Afrikan languages are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that are utterly useless. Also literal dead languages, but even Latin has the argument of "l-learn the root words!" so it's at least a little helpful.

>>134051043
I find it meaningful. Being able to attach words to kanji makes recognizing them a lot easier. Trying to remember kanji I haven't studied is like trying to remember 20 random lines, it's hard to remember words with 2 or 3 kanji I don't know. This is for me at least, I know some people swear that it doesn't matter to them. But for me, I don't consider it a waste of effort at all to learn Kanji.

The only problem I would have with learning "two languages", as a strategy or not, is the knowledge that Vocab Hell exists in EVERY language and it's fucking' awful. Like...

I imagine conversational fluency is OK for that. To be conversationally fluent you would only need like 6,000 words. I knew a guy who lived in Japan and talked in Japanese to his Japanese friends, and I showed him my anki mining deck and he knew none of the words, so yeah, if you stick to a low level in the language you can avoid vocab hell.

Learning the language to fluency, yeah that takes years. But Vocab "Hell"? Maybe a year at most if you're slow, but realistically probably half a year. After that it shouldn't be hell anymore, it should just be enjoyable. I don't get this "years of grinding" meme, it's not like that at all. Look at Steve as an example, he doesn't have years of vocab Hell. It's a myth that it lasts nearly that long.

Uh, what? Do you think you'll know enough words to read any book and watch any show you want, after only 6-12 months...? I mean, it took me 8 months to read moege pretty easily while ignoring a certain number of words, but if I opened a newspaper or Muramasa or a sci-fi novel or watched a show about cooking I'd be blown away.
>>
>>134051400
If I were to spend those 6 months watching short 5 minute anime and easier manga then yeah, I think I could. If I spent 6 months grinding anki then fuck no.
>>
>>134051400
Food is the worst.
>>
>>134051400
Well but that isn't hell isn't it? That just means that you will read more stuff, with an ascending difficulty. Just think about all the good stuff that you will enjoy. Just save murasama on your harddrive and play it in 2 years or something.
>>
>>134051426
I disagree. Like... I just plain disagree. If you were to say you could read it while ignoring a significant chunk of words, i.e. follow along but not understand a lot, then I could see where you're coming from, but I just plain don't believe you can learn all the words you need to for Japanese in only 6-12 months.
And I'm not talking just conversational fluency vocab, I mean "native-level", I mean being able to competently read and understand Japanese at a college level, not at a foreigner-not-knowing-50%-of-the-words level.
>>
>>134051511
Vocab Hell is just a phrase, I think someone recommended it be changed to "purgatory", either way it refers to the period of time when your Japanese ability is held back by vocab long after you've mostly conquered grammar and kanji.
>>
>>134051541
What I'm saying is that practicing reading for 6 months and doing anki for 6 months are two completely different things. Practicing anki is going to make you better at flash cards, practicing reading is going to make you better at reading. If I were to start reading Yotsuba today I could probably finish it within half a month. Then I could do something slightly more challenging, maybe Ika Musume? Then something more challenging... by 6 months I could read a manga I enjoy. Actually, I've already read a manga I enjoy at the very beginning and have been the entire time, but for the sake of argument I'd bet that in 6 months I could read... I don't know... TWGOK? Shokugeki? Anything in Shonen Jump probably, minus the more adult things.
>>
>>134051597
Ah, that makes sense. Well, I would just stick to a texthooker and put everything into anki and learn kanji separately. But I'm not even that advanded, so what do I even know? Thanks for clearing it up for me.
>>
>>134051647
Nothing you've said has lead me to believe that you would escape vocab purgatory/hell in less than 12 months. Please read >>134051597 for an extended definition. I don't know why you've got such a hateboner for anki off the start, it's a good tool to supplement reading, especially for rarer but still important kanji.

Reading Shounen manga but not being able to read more adult things is pretty much directly in line with vocab hell.
>>
首を振っているよ、正直に。
>>
>>134051752
Well first off, I'm not saying I would be past what you call Vocab Hell. Secondly, I don't hate anki at all.
What I am saying is that I could read what interests me -- e.h. Shonen Jump -- in 6 months of starting Japanese. My methods would include primarily reading as practice, not anki. Do you understand? By reading, I am practicing READING and Japanese, not Flash cards and Japanese. 6 months is loner than you think. Steve becomes gets 5k words in a month, and you're saying I can't read what interests me in 6? I could read Jump and watch OPM in 6 months.

You claimed I wouldn't be able to read anything I want in 6 months, I'm claiming that's false. I'm sorry it took you 8 months to read a moege but some people are more competent than that.

You talk a lot about how you read but that's not something surprising or unique. It's just a fact that no matter how much you read, you will still be spending a very long time, years, accumulating vocabulary. Hence, vocab hell.

You don't even understand, you STILL do that with ENGLISH. Why the fuck does anyone besides you care about this "Hell" you talk about? Why is learning words "Hell"? Do you mean that you know basically nothing in any text and you always have to learn hundreds of words to be able to read each thing? Then you're doing it wrong, sorry to burst your bubble.

>>134052064
You can't even read all the media in general in English. You have a piss-poor attitude about what makes you know a language or not.

In 6 months from starting Japanese I will be able to read a wide variety of texts. Vocab Hell is a myth people made up who are either shit at learning a language or are reading shit they hate for no reason.

>In 6 months from starting Japanese I will be able to read a wide variety of texts.
Congratulations, and in 6 months you will be still learning a lot of vocabulary due to the large amounts of it unless you stick to your shounen manga.

Why are you being such a bitch about this? Ay carumba. At least I have the peace of mind that in six months you'll either be knee deep in hard vocabulary weeping, or you'll be pathetically sticking to shounen manga and comforting yourself about your failure.

Not really. When you produce naturally you will not be thinking about whether a verb is transitive or not. I think if you're at the stage of needing to check if a verb is transitive or intransitive then you really shouldn't be writing or composing yet.

>>134056958
> and you'll never be able to tell if they're correct or not
If a native wrote it then you can be safe in assuming it's close enough to being correct that it's ok. Furthermore, you'll be exposed to so much "correct" content that all the tiny mistakes will be overwritten as time passes. That's how every native learns their language after all.

>>134057045
Depends on how much they're exposed to it and in what way they interact with it. You have people on /a/ with 1000~ hours watching anime but of course can't speak it worth shit. Likewise a Chinese dude living in NYC who spends most of his day in a kitchen barely really interacting with English will obviously not be good at it. If you spend a lot of time reading books and really interacting with the language, getting good is an inevitability.
>>
>>134057009
>If a native wrote it then you can be safe in assuming it's close enough to being correct that it's ok
let's assume for a second that you're 100% correct and natives know their grammar completely (which is not true, they sometimes make mistakes even differentiating は and が, which they call each other "disabled kids" for doing such)
the problem is that if you browse a jap imageboard for anything more than a week you'll know that not all of them are japanese
some of them are koreans, or chinese who shitpost the japs a lot

they call each other zainichi or chon or whatever

But this discussion is pretty pointless.

If you don't want to learn absolutely ANY grammar, just do as you wish. I agree with you that starting with grammar is not a good idea, but if you want to become fluent with 0 notion of grammar, you can only go so far in not sounding like a 13 years old. Seriously.

I actually had this thought before I started, but then I thought "all that time spend learning the other language is time I could spend learning Japanese". Besides, even though I would like to learn other languages out of simple interest in them, there's no real compelling content that I'm aware of to justify the effort, so I'd probably just give up anyway.

Eh. It's no worse than any moege. I don't know why people over-react to chuuni being for teens when moege are just the same shit, but with even less maturity in themes most of the time. Do games have to be a sterile plotge taking place in a realistic setting to not be cringy? Eh, either way, I like it, quite enjoyable so far. Gotten like 20 kanji for my kanjigrid so far.

Just a read a sentence in Japanese, then give a rough English translation. Although since she is your mom, she probably expected an autistic answer like the one you gave.
>>
>>134061734
The kanji? Yeah, I guess, but I mainly meant... looking at the kanji as they are in anki. Like 漏水, leak + water, easy peasy.
>>
>>134061845
Depends what you are testing. Leak+water isn't going to help much remember the actual word, unless you have some sort of phonetic association with those two words that helps you recall ろうすい.
>>
>>134061987
The word is leakage so having the kanji for leak in it certainly helps significantly.

>In the case that ideal and ideal clashed, one would break, one would remain.

Dear /djt/ I want a japanese wife more than anything in existence, and must get a decent paying job in Japan. In a last ditch attempt to avoid getting a business job, Im thinking of becoming an IT. How does one become an IT that specializes in Networking and Security and what not? I like the internet, and used to be interested in computer viruses as a kid, so why not? Is there a book series I can follow? Should I give up because a chinese kidergartner probably knows 10x more than I ever will, or is there some potential?

And if its a hopeless dream, be honest, Ill bite the bullet and become an accountant or whatever default high paying job there is.

Hey /DJT/!

It is my wish to move to Japan and become the prime minister. I want to lead the Japanese people to global domination with my superior gaijin intellect and their Asian work ethic. I will be a tough but fair ruler, and I will also force the Japanese to mate with each other in order to ensure the continuation of their race. Furthermore, I shall select one of their own to mate with me. Please help me to achieve this goal. It is my dream, and I think I will have to kill myself shall I fail in this pursuit.

IT work pays fuck all in Japan, literally minimum wage.
There are a million branches so it's hard to recommend something, it'll also depend on where the hell you're from.

Where I'm from there's trade schools for general IT support work, think helpdesk slave.
Then there's university degrees for infosec/netsec, databases, networking etc.
And lastly you have certifications (i.e. CISCO)

Mix and match these, throw them on a CV, find an IT job where you live for experience, get hired by a foreign firm with offices in Japan (think IBM, yahoo), take JLPT N1, ask to get transfered to the Japanese offices.

The only way you're gonna get a livable wage in Japan is by working for a so-called 外資系企業 or foreign company with offices in Japan.

Minimum wage is part-timing. Skilled worker in any field, IT included, makes 1.5-2 times what a part-timer working 40 hours a week does. If you're not in a black company where hourly pay comes out less than for flipping burgers.
>>

I have worked for an ISP and all the NOCs either had cisco/similar certs or were studying for them, on the company's dollar. Maybe it's different where you live but some certifications are held in high regard here, especially in the IT field.

>>134065827
You don't just become an analyst. Analysts are people with 20 years of experience and career advancements. On top of that, to function as an analyst you would need excellent business-level Japanese skills.

>what foreign job wouldn't pay mininum wage?
None, they all require you to be able to function in a Japanese business environment, and a lot of that is knowing the language and the customs, so there aren't really any "foreign jobs" outside of part-time stuff like cleaning the floors at McDs.

Think of it this way, there's already 100 million people out there who speak Japanese flawlessly. And almost all of them live within commuting distance of tokyo or are willing to move there for work. So when mr. miyazaki or whatever is hiring nerds for his company, he's going to pick from that pool which doesn't include you. You need to go above and beyond if you want to get hired in a foreign country, you have to offer something that miyazaki can't find locally, and on top of that you have to speak Japanese well enough to function in the workplace.

So learn Japanese as a side thing by all means, but get yourself an education either through schools or self-studying and certifications. There's also a ton of opencourseware and information about technology and networking things in general, but that's a topic more for /g/ so you should go ask them instead.

Yes. In the reality of the show everyone is speaking English, so he is talking about learning Japanese in fluent Japanese.

>Every job ever in Japan pays $5 USD per hour, and you can expect to work roughly 100 hours per week with no vacation time! To make matters even worse, they hate foreigners, and you can expect no friends and no opportunities for advancement! The only thing that you'll ever receive from the Japanese is a passive aggressive boot out of their country.

You know, I only ever hear this shit from people who've never lived in Japan, or who went over there via JET. You rarely hear it from people who live in Japan working a job that you'd expect to have decent pay. You do, however, hear people say from time to time that they live in Japan as a professional and most of that is bullshit.

That reminds me of Walkure Romanze. I originally didn't notice because I wasn't paying attention, but the whole game actually takes place in Europe and every character is a European speaking except the MC who is Japanese (I think it was everyone? I know Cecilia is, not sure why the other girls have kanji names then). This girl kept calling the MC "東洋" which made me think he was Chinese in Japan, but no he was Japanese in Europe. Of course, everyone spoke Japanese.

What time zone does Anki use? The time zone of the computer on which it is running? I'm currently in EST (so it's 02:54 am) and I have Anki set to start the new day at 6 hours past midnight, so it should roll over in about 3 hours, right?

You cannot be this stupid.
Japanese people don't need fucking subtitles to understand each other. They go from sound→meaning, unlike those who are not native Japanese. Kana is essentially that.

I don't know what Tae Kim has said on the matter but if he actually stated that this is a reason why Japanese need kana, this should be enough for people to know he doesn't know enough about Japanese to teach it. Unless there is deliberate wordplay involved and the like, the vast majority of educated Japanese have no real issues with kana, aside the fact that it takes longer to parse chunks of kana than it does with kanji involved.

It's like people forget that for many generations the Japanese didn't even have a written language and they passed knowledge down purely by spoken word.

I don't get this. How does furigana help if you're not a native or at least able to understand conversational Japanese on a decent level? When I was starting, every time I'd learn a word I'd learn it along with its kanji already, so furigana was virtually useless to me.

Ah, so that's it. I guess that does make things simpler. I just never felt like looking up words through kanji amounted to a problem to begin with.

As for the case of words you know the sound of but don't know how to write, the words that fall into this category were comparatively so few, at least for me, that it didn't really make a significant difference on how easy it was to read.

Nah, hearing yourself is not an actual reflection of your voice; if you want to improve your pronunciation by putting in the extra effort, record yourself and listen to it back. All this works because you're not distracted, and can focus on the movements in your mouth

>>134079169
I think it's more about the format than about the content of the text. The viewer sees the text and immediately understands what kind of message it's conveying even if he doesn't know the details of the message, and that's enough for him to get the joke. Notice that it thanks the viewer for his 愛読, even though he is not 'reading' the anime, making the picture an obvious parody of the manga format, where one would have plenty of time to read the message at the end of a chapter.
