I work hard and I have a standard of excellence - and I expect everyone at the Interior Department to meet that same standard. I delegate a lot. I might appear to be doing a lot of different things, but there's a strong team helping me. I believe we're going to have the strongest team of any agency in the Obama administration.

It'll take you a decade to reach fluency at that rate. You need to start adding more new cards.

If you don't want to do more new cards that day, then just use the extra time to read or do grammar. It's a more productive use of your time and doing reviews on days they're not scheduled for can do more harm than good.

If I don't want to download manga from mangafox, and manga chapters I'm looking for are not on batoto, what websites do anons here recommends?

FYI first, I currently live in a country where google is limited to domestic searches and government censorship are both rampant and arbitrary. Imgur is blocked, tmz is blocked, and mangafox, mangapanda are also blocked.

The idiot thing about the censorship is that while mangafox.com front page is blocked, mangafox.com/manga/manga-name isn't.

So if I know what I already know, then everything is fine. If I don't, then I can't search for it.

Now /blog. What websites do anons here recommend for reading manga if I don't want to use Mangafox that is not Batoto?
For example Terra for Mars chapters are missing from Batoto.

Ultimate kanji list. Buckle up, you need 6k to be fluent :o)
>>138683727
Daitoshokan is hard to rate because the actual text isn't too hard (3 maybe?) but getting the jokes is not something a beginner will find much success in so I don't think anyone who is concerned about the "difficulty" of texts should read it.
Air is similar. 3-4 due to a lot of colloquial language.
Aiyoku no Eusta is 3 due to simple grammar, maybe 4ish due to high vocab/kanji level.
Nanairo Reincarnation is 3. Lots of normal easy text but plenty of hard chunks.

What could be the problem with the word report not working in the text analyzer? Do I have to install something? The kanji report works just fine.

I've now tried the first volume of Bakemonogatari to see how it would differ from NHK, and oh boy.
1972 kanji, the first one being 原 (that comes from Senjougahara, the main girl's name). Araragi also uses 僕 quite a lot. As for the actual vocabulary, NisiOisiN uses 9772 unique words with the last on the list used being 齷齪.

im having some serious trouble with memorizing the pronunciation of kanji. i think i might just be retarded but i cant seem to remember how to say them

i see the kanji, i know what it means but the pronunciation fucks me any tips on how to not suck?
>>

clannad: ez
stans gate: ez except for maybe one or 2 words
air: not as ez as you might think
nanarin: ez
>>
>>138684503
What about Leyline?
>>
>>138684777
For me personally, it's been easiest to memorize the pronunciations of words and associate those words with kanji. After seeing the same kanji enough times in different words, and knowing those specific words, it becomes easier to grasp the sound a kanji is supposed to make.

That might just be me, though.

>>138684043
Sorry anons, I forgot to wrote these on my first post.

I am asking for English language manga sites on djt because of 2 things. One is that popular series sources are usually leaked raws so the scanlations hit the internet before the japanese magazine street date. So if I want to read early, I have to read the English scanlations because magazine raws are available at street date. English scanlations are always quicker.

The other reason is that manga websites have "popular manga chapters" and "recent release updates" features so I can discover new serials I'm not currently aware of.

As to why I don't just use Mangafox, I think the government got wiser specifically to Mangafox and it a lot of times it takes a long time to load chapter's pages. So I want to go to it's competitors.

Bato.to doesn't have some popular serials, for example, Terra for Mars.

Any websites recommend?

There is a few domestic manga websites that translates highly popular manga to local language, but it's collection is very scarce. If you are wondering why local manga websites aren't blocked, I guess they pay the Communication Ministry?

>>138683936
I've had instances of not being able to access Nocozazal but most of the time I can access it. I can't find newest chapters there though.

Nyaa is good for released volumes and for chapters it's good for highly popular serials. For older series that aren't as popular, it's highly dependent on seeders so English manga sites is where it's at for me, it's just that I can't use Mangafox any longer due to censorship. I can't even open the mangafox.me/directory/ any more. I can still open individual pages like mangafox.me/manga/bleach/ but then if I clicked say, the hyperlink to chapter 143, it doesn't load.

I need to circumvent it with copy link address, and copy paste ch. 143's bleach/v17/c143/1.html to be able to open it.

The government just kill Mangafox for me so I'm looking for it's competitors other than Bato.to

Or chii-trans (with the grammar highlighting and furigana turned off obviously), but the pastebin setup is better in my opinion. You can get EPWING dictionaries from the CoR if you don't like the default Rikaisama dictionary.

Okay, now I tried parsing through Harry Potter, 1-7. Please note that the txt file of the seventh version is not complete. Also, funnily enough, the sixth is called '謎のプリンス'. The Harry Potter in series only has 2670 kanji, with only 2068 kanji appearing more than four times. In regard to vocabulary, it's quite big with 27497 words, while 19066 appeared more than once, and 11482 words appeared five times or more.

I don't know what kind of setup you have, but I personally find the browser method far more convenient. I have the VN open fullscreen on one monitor, and a single browser window open showing me the text on the other.

Rikai has EPWING support, and I can also select and Google text with 1 click if simple dictionary definitions aren't helping me (invaluable for set phrases and such).

>>138685817
>>138685661
I coped from the texthooker to my browser to mine anyways and sometimes found myself copying to browser and using Rikai instead of the texthooker because a fair amount of the time it would parse incorrectly or Rikai has expressions in the dictionary that the texthooker doesn't, so that setup saves me multiple steps. I feel like it's a better setup overall anyways. Only features it lacks is syntax highlighting and furigana, but you shouldn't be using either of those anyways outside of maybe the first section of your first VN as training wheels.

I appreciate that you have fun with doing your own things, but some people don't like the djt image changed and includes anime girls.

You don't even study japanese, so please, don't rock the boat. Feel free to stay but don't fuck up a good thing going. It has been 3 nice djt threads in a row. Some people are going to get triggered by anime-girls djt image and it's just going to yield posts after posts of unnecessary debates.

I remember when DJT wasn't this autistic and didn't bat an eye at a thread every now and then with a random character added to the default OP image. At least we don't argue over certain things anymore, but those topics have just been replaced by other topics.

Look at that trash, that fucking ear, the fucking hair at the forehead - it's disgusting. You should be glad the autist was able to get his way and now we have a non-shit OP.

I would love the Dekinai-chan and Zoi OPs to be cycled with the clean one though. Love those.

a thread is only as good as its posts. its just more convenient for all the bad posters to look to the op and shift blame off of themselves and continue to post badly at something
>>
>>138689696
Which was mostly because of how bad it looked and the fact that it wasn't just a variation of the default one with a random character or two added (which is what almost all of the "anime" OPs posted before where). I can't dig up any examples because the old archive is dead, though. If any other DJT veterans have one saved they can probably post one.

when studying a grammar resource (like tae kim) should one also be trying to read japanese shit throughout, and just ignore text with grammar that hasn't been learned yet?
or should one be satisfied with the examples in the grammar resource, finish reading all of the resource first, and only then try reading actual stuff?
in general, what are good ways to study and retain grammar?
>>
>>138689148
>We used to have random threads with an OP image that had random characters in it and no one really gave a shit or called comment to it.
This, if only the old archive was still around.

There was even a stretch of time where the OP would use a page of some manga or LN as the image. (Until people complained about not being able to find the thread in the catalog.)

It was never a source of autism or anger, until this new breed. Except for that a spergout one day when some OP made a really shitty-looking handwritten image "DJTスレ" with his tablet and people were calling him out for "disrespecting" the thread.

>>138684777
Reading them backwards will help. It even helps to just scan the example sentence backwards and whenever you hit a kanji see if you can say what the reading is supposed to be.

The problem is probably that you end up associating the pronunciations with the wrong thing, like the context of the example sentence or something.
Saying their pronunciation in reverse order will help you associate the pronunciations to the kanji themselves.

That's a gif, so you're not actually going to see it unless you click on it. It's the sort of OP that would've gotten maybe one comment before and then the thread would move on because no one gives a shit. Same with most other anime OPs as long as it's not covering up the text in the image / isn't blatantly too obnoxious (though even then I recall having a couple chaika face OPs where no one cared). Anime OPs were never an issue as long as it didn't change the image entirely and look ugly as fuck like >>138689696

I don't really care about the OP image as long as we're on topic, was just explaining what likely caused the storm of autism in that one thread. Hell, that shitstorm didn't even really happen until the 2nd (or 3rd? don't remember) time in a row that image was used.

Right, and it's the people who were linked to in >>138690416 that are the cause of the derailment, not the ones making different images.
They all basically sound like this

If they'd at least realize that they're the autistic idiots that stiffle creativity on sites like 4chan then I'd be fine. But they actually somehow think it's the opposite which just baffles me.
Like there's some magical world they can go to where creativity can flourish while simultaneously everything is to their liking. It's a paradox. Hence why I think they're all idiots.

You know who the real asshole of djt is? The anon who post replies just to trigger reactions, being argumentative for argumentative sake, and debating semantics all the while being a condescending ass.

All of us can identify that anon because his posts usually doesn't use capital letters, comma, and period, along with some other punctuations.

We should collectively ignore him. Now if only there were a 4chan mod that is actively studying japanese, or if only there were a system in place to IP ban that one particular joker anon, djt would be a more productive place for discussion.

Also this >>138691537, Abraham Lincoln knows his shit. As long as you're reading things you enjoy, the only part that will be a bit of a slog once you get deep into reading will be daily Anki reviews/new cards (and I guess looking up grammar, but that isn't too bad and you can just use the DoJG deck for that after doing Tae Kim or something).

Anons here, how long does it usually take you guys, and which learning method did you use to be able to grasp the context of most manga/doujin you read? So i've been diligently learning vocab but I still have trouble with colloquial expression and long, complex sentences.

That's all subjective and depends on how much you've read / what things you've read. You just have to read more and get used to it. Sorry, I know that's not a very helpful or insightful answer, but that's just how it is.

Are you currently reading right now? Type some example that you just saw so other people have an idea what you meant by your question.

I'm too lazy to name specific examples, but Mangastream and Viz translation of One Piece differs every so often in subjects identification, like Mangastream would say "we" and Viz would say "I", etc.

So it's alright if you are confused with long, complex sentences, I do too, and often. That doesn't keep me from reading manga and enjoying it though.

Throw a real example you are at the moment having difficulty of, so everybody here can discuss it.

Because A will never respond to B. B would totally respond to C though. Therefore, it's mandatory for C to exercise discretion and not blow shit up.

Alright, well I know all my posts are bad then, so I guess we're not derailing the thread right now. What a load off my mind.

>>138692861
B and C are both complaining about other posters and are equally at fault.
Poster A would be the OP by the way, and B represents the "initial complaints" that that anon was talking about.
If people would just shut up about the OP image then there would be no arguing. But this guy is trying to tell me that no it's ok to complain about the OP image and all the arguing is the fault of people who are trying to tell them to just ignore it.
>>
>>138692852
Just read them over and over until you understand at least the gist of the sentence. It's not a test. When I read an LN, it takes me a long time to understand their scientifical description as well. Just take your time anon, it's not a language test where you are pressed for time and have to read quickly.

It's a foreign text, our brain obviously have to get used to it. Japanese have 横飯 as well studying English, this is our reverse 横飯, just persevere (I'm mostly saying this to myself).
>>
>>138692948
>B and C are both complaining about other posters and are equally at fault.
Sure, if B feeds back into the argument. But you know what? They don't have to. The moment someone responds to B, anyone who agreed with B feels attacked and starts feeding into the argument. If everyone ignores B, we can all get along fine, and nobody is causing people with B's opinion to be even more defensive in the future.

>Poster A would be the OP by the way, and B represents the "initial complaints" that that anon was talking about.
No shit.

>But this guy is trying to tell me that no it's ok to complain about the OP image
I never said that.

B is still at fault just as much as C.

You're trying to justifying the "initial complaints" and make it sound like they are any different from the rest of the shitstorm.

Nobody is on the high road. If you want to complain about something (anything) then other people have just as much of a right to give their counter complaint.
It's not the second groups fault, it's everyone's fault. Including the "initial complaints".
>>
>>138693077
>You're trying to justifying the "initial complaints" and make it sound like they are any different from the rest of the shitstorm.
I said "The initial complaints literally never last more than one or two posts", not "The inital posters of complaints literally never make more than one or two posts". Consider learning english.
>>
>>138693077
Nobody is ever going to stop the initial complaints. Ever. The problem is morons like you who think it's ok to think that nobody should ever complain about anything, and that arguments are inevitable if they do complain. Do you know how incredibly delusional that is? Look at yourself right now.

I have horrible acid reflux that might kill me. As a result, I've cut out carbs apart from fruit in an effort to starve the bacteria in my stomach. That basically does away cheap, easy, filling shit, and necessitates nightly cooking.

I watch a good amount of anime and lets plays... my vocab isnt too hot but speech is even more limited (by habit of the speaker, not by any rules) than novels as far as I can tell. If you suck at listening I doubt it's a problem of vocabulary. It's more likely a problem of recognizing words you already do know, or else a problem of relying too much on kanji to recognize words (try reading aloud and see how it goes).

That "no using your native language" nonsense needs to die. It doesn't help you at all - you're either studying for 16 hours a day, and thus don't have any time to use English anyway, or you're studying for less than 16 hours a day, and are actually living a good life where using English won't impact your studying. Immersion fags are probably among the most annoying people in language learning, they're ALMOST right (prioritizing exposure) but also beleive so much bullshit (don't use your target language! you HAVE to move to the country to get good!) that they're far more irritating than people who are just completely wrong (and therefore easily ignored as idiots).
>>
>>138697933
There's nothing inherently wrong about it. If you don't know how to say something then you can't speak at all. It's a difficult hump to overcome, but it places an urgent need to learn quickly and effectively.

I did not see anything in your post that showed or argued how not using English is good, unless as stated you're studying for 16 hours a day. To be clear, what I'm talking about it
>8 hours of language study
>8 hours of non-study using native language
is equally as good as
>8 hours of language study
>8 hours of non-study without using native language at all

For further clarification, reading or listening in a foreign language is something I'd consider "studying", so if you use those 8 hours of non-study to watch TV in a foreign language I'd actually consider that studying.

In short, "more exposure and more studying" is of course good, but "don't use your native language" is not helpful at all. When the latter leads to the former, it accidentally causes good stuff, which is why it's irritating to see people repeat it instead of just stressing the former in the first place.
>>
>>138698117
> "don't use your native language" is not helpful at all
To be fair it only works when you have a dedicated translator to hold your hand through the process. The goal is to rely on the translated words instead of your own. And yes, without a native you're basically flailing around in the dark to no effect.

Enough autism will learn the ropes no matter what. If your study is so good it should be no matter to translate anything here in your head no problem.

A lot of people come in here whining about laziness and whatnot, but shit dude, that's your personal problem. That's you being spineless, or weak. Grow up! Read Yotsuba and hanahira a second time if need be. Get a clue. Laziness doesn't have a cure. It's all in your head. You just have to buckle up. And if you can't, get out of here! You're done.

So it's time to get out the Grammar Hammer and nail those little bastards down.

>Should I ever bother to learn the world "fuss"? I heard that most people just use "bother" to say the same thing.

I felt like that yesterday.

I read anyways.

I struggled the entire time, failing to recognize words that I know and having trouble wrapping my head around several sentences.

However, by the end of it, I still committed several new words to my vocabulary.

Go read!

But really, you should stop trolling.

It's really nothing outside of anything you'd find outside of the realm of something you'd see in the show.

But am I supposed to feel like a degenerate doing this, or will that feeling pass as time goes on?
Like I could be translating something worthwhile, but at the end of the day, it'll always either been smut or nerdshit.

Am I just thinking too much?

This.
It can be incredibly demotivating when you're struggling to read something and it will feel like you're making no progress but as long as you're really trying to do it, you will be making progress.
Next time it will just that little bit easier.
The time after that, even easier.

Just keep at it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
>>
>>138698411

If you translate something worthwhile you NEED to do a good job, it will be critically evaluated, and thats p stressful especially if you like the work.

The strength lies in the tutor. Anyone who takes a foreign language class can appreciate how useful it is to interact with the teacher even for a few minutes. Now multiply that by 24/7, with no opportunity to chicken out when things get tough.

That type of learning isn't cheap, but it gets results. That's all there is to it.

>>138698595
I still don't see it dawg. From my googling just now, my understanding would be that mirror neurons would fire when watching dramas/TV shows as well so there's no need for a tutor. And that STILL doesn't explain how not using your native language helps, we kind of drifted there but I still see no evidence or argument that not using your native language helps in learning a second language (keeping in mind my earlier elaboration of what constitutes studying in my eyes).

Bit of advice I hear in my first weeks of learning: Don't think of loanwords as English words, think of them as Japanese words. It really raku's your ki, because you no longer expect yourself to be able to read them as easily as English, you know? It's understandable to read a Japanese word you don't know slowly.

Also I watched a let's play and whenever a long katakana sci-fi word came up the streamer would pause and slowly spell it out.

Not him but I remember when I first tried LNs, Haruhi was way harder than high school DxD and Akikan. Kyon's a smart dude and the brooding narration reflects this I think. Not sure how objectively hard it would be considered, probably not high since it is an LN in the end.

The main issue I -- and most readers I think -- had with it was the long run on sentences. There are a lot of these in the prologues and Kyon's monologues/rambling thoughts. Another thing is the metaphors which will throw you off badly especially if you only have vocabulary from a certain field.

But you don't really have to worry about missing out on important parts of the story because Koizumi is always there to explain shit in a retard friendly way which is helpful for people who don't exactly have 100% reading comprehension.

The rest of the problems you will have are the same you would find with any other book/VN. Vocab vocab vocab. Nagato will spew physics/astronomy/sci-fi jargon at you constantly and Koizumi uses some ultra final boss form of keigo when he talks but you'll get used to it by the time you finish volume 2 especially if you're mining diligently. But of course, nothing like the chuuni VN bullshit.

That said, the most important thing I should mention is that it is a very, very fun read. My opinion probably doesn't count for much since I'm not a book expert or anything but the narration by Kyon is lighthearted and charming unlike the boring prose of, say, Flyable Heart.

Oh and I'm preparing for the N1. Just finished going through all the grammar exercises in Shin Kanzen Master but I might chicken out and not take it if I don't think I'm well prepared enough.

Not really no. But if you really want to 'learn' kanji the way the Japanese kids do (aka. the 教育 kanji), then go for the Basic kanji book, it's in the CoR, under 教本.

Took a break from reading for a bit because of real life shit. Trying to wrap up the other 3 routes of 聖騎士MeltyLovers.

The first route took way longer than I would've liked because I let myself get paced by vocab (i.e. I would stop when I got to a certain amount of new words, which is a bad idea when it's a brand new setting full of related vocab I'm not going to know) and H scenes rather than just reading as much as I wanted to and letting a vocab backlog build up, but I learned my lesson and will try not to let that happen again.

Obviously I don't know the complete context, but isn't 上騰 more like the army rising up, to face foes etc.? That sounds like something that would be on a military propaganda poster.

And I presume whoever says that like is using ぶり to subtly criticize it. As in, the army isn't showcasing the 上騰 and its result, but the simple fact they're 上騰, as per meaning 1 in the dictionary link
>名詞、動詞の連用形に付いて、その物事の状態やようす・ありかたなどの意を表す。

>>
>>138704916
>Does ぶり often imply a negative connotation or something? Never heard of it doing such normally.

Not really, but sometimes it comes from the context. One example that I can think up is 怒り and 怒りっぷり. "Anger" vs. "state/appearance of anger". When you go out of your way to call out not the anger itself and the reasons the person might have for it, but just the fact that they got into that state, I feel there's an unspoked criticism of the person for being angry.

Oh, yeah, I can see that.

So I guess they're mocking the army's propaganda poster for just being a hot chick then to show how awesome it is to enlist or something?
>>
>>138704971
Somewhat I guess? It kind of just happens, and usually results in a comment or two about the difficulty of the VN in question or VNs of similar difficulty. I think /jp/ mostly hates texthookers in the context of people who rely on them by using furigana, grammar parsing or even machine translation. I don't imagine they hate texthookers used purely for the purposes of making looking up vocab more convenient (like the Firefox setup in that pastebin). They do hate people who are shit at Japanese coming in asking for easy VNs or talking about VNs in the context of learning, though.

If you do it in the context of learning Japanese somehow.

Sounds probable to me.

Thanks, I'll try to bother to copypaste and post context next time.

That and 翳す are in my mining deck. Relatively common words. Thank mareni when he uses 旧字

I take it this is the anime girl OP guy going mental after his attempts to force his crap here failed.

>Some time around late 2014 an anon appeared in the thread which would drastically alter the dynamic of the general, all the way to its current point. From this anon was born a rather huge resource hub and eventually a small dedicated website to the guide and other related productions of the thread itself.

>mfw when the CoR was originally posted (at the time, mainly a manga deposityory) I protested how it wasn't related to learning Japanese and way too many posts were starting to become about manga instead of Japanese, and everyone shit on me
>mfw years later it's recognized as a paradigm shift away from learning Japanese and onto endless offtopic discussions/shitposting
Feels good to be right
>>
>>138706655
Exactly.
>>138706682
>mfw years later it's recognized as a paradigm shift away from learning Japanese and onto endless offtopic discussions/shitposting
Except it's not recognized as such.
>>
>>138706746
It is by that guy, and that's good enough to make me feel right. Took 2 years but I'm finally on top baby

>>138706412
who cares. post in every thread like its the last

live every day like its the last

Looks some some butthurt anon who thinks the thread is worse than it is. DJT is completely self contained (i.e. it doesn't spew its cancer all over the rest of the board like some other generals do) and generally still has plenty of worthwhile posts and discussion, even if it's not as much as it used to it.

>>138706655
Probably the original Sakura OP poster, yeah. Even /a/ users thought it was an ugly bad image though, so I wouldn't really pin it on /a/ users either. Both sides are at fault regarding that considering the OP image was never an issue before and no one gave a shit, I think that shitstorm happened because he used the same ugly Sakura image as the OP image 3 times in a row instead of moving on to other stuff or back to the default.

>>138706479
What's difficult? ある -> あらゆる, いう -> いわゆる. The first one obviously has to relate to existence, while the latter relates to saying somehow, which should make it easy to remember which is which.

He probably doesn't know 謂う - いう/ゆう or 謂わば.

But he's clearly inexperienced and a learner. How is it inexcusable for a learner not to know things?

Holy shit what an autist.

Just when I thought there's no word in Japanese I could hate stronger than 承る I encounter the unholy abomination that is 慮る
>>
おっぱいと太ももに顔を埋めたい そして膝枕したときそのままパンツをガン見したい
>>
>>138707267
>承る
Then just view it as 受け賜る.
>>
>>138706412
Looks like someone's upset he can't put his waifu in the OP.
>>
>>138707332
It was written 承る when I mined it, though, repping it any other way would be pretty pointless.
>>
>>138707444
Well it's true noone writes it as 受け賜る nowadays, but who cares! You can do it.

Noone writes "quitting one's job" as 罷める nowadays either and I did it in one 作文.
>>
>>138707519
What would be the fucking point if I need to be able to read 承る when I see it? That word isn't the problem anymore anyway, 慮る is refuses to stick so much I have to type 遠慮, delete 遠and add る to put it in my post.
>>
>>138707685
Somehow I doubt cases happen when you need to use the word 慮る actively in text. If you do, might as well throw few 焉んぞs in there.
>>
>>138707752
I have to be able to read it when it comes up, though, who gives a shit about production.
>>
>>138707794
Seems you are already able to do it.
