Oh yeah, you are totally right. I switched Google's languages from English only to Japanese and English and now searching kanji gives preference to Japanese rather than Chinese.

If a sentence ends with 'isn't it?' and the answer is 'しました'. Would it be reasonable to assume that this is meant as a 'It is' instead of a 'I did it'?

It's really easy to get over the fear of "never learning Japanese" if you realize you'll "never learn" your native language in the same sense. If you start paying close attention, you'll notice a fuckton of stuff in your own language that you simply do not understand. It's no surprise that every language will be like this. So don't worry.

Currently deciding which level of the JLPT to take next. Either 3 or 2. Gotta decide soon. My teacher told me its a huge jump from 3 to 2 test wise. Any truth to that.

Currently reading the aoitoribunko books which seems to be helping me with my japanese overall. Would recommend them if you can get your hands on them

>>138910237
No point in taking any JLPT below N1.

>>138910251
Im using it as a goal. If I take that away I feel like Ill slow down which I dont want to happen.

>>138910151

Is this a bilingual family talking? Why are they using both English and Japanese?

For those of you who did Tae Kim, what pace did you go through the guide at?

>>138910308
Take a practice exam then. No difference between it and the test itself except time limits.

Plus, your fears are misguided. Your speed is determined by the amount of work you do. You should be much more afraid of being in a daily schedule that isn't beneficial. How much time do you spend reading native material (that's challenging)? If it's less than an hour, you're fucking up right now. If it's more, then as long as you keep that up you're good even without a JLPT goal.

>>138910237
As far as I'm aware N3 -> N2 is pretty big. I'd take the N3 just to be safe, you can just take the N2 afterwards anyway so there's not a huge rush.

>>138910370
Sorry I meant if sentence A ends with 'からね' which is basically a 'isn't it?' or 'right?' which practically assumes a Yes as answer and the answer is 'しました'. Can it be used as a 'It is' or does is has to be a literal 'I did.'

>>138910443
Yeah, a big jump from sucking shit to sucking hard, how meaningful

What tips do you have. Interested to hear them. Right now I do my Anki cards, WaniKani, and grammar book every day along with reading books

>>138910595
The 速い is in regards to actual running speed. Just can't figure out exactly what だけの is doing there based on example sentences I've been reading with it.

>>138910689

Keep at your WaniKani and nothing else. I am sure your teacher will agree. College courses and Wanikani are the only proven two ways to learn this language.

>>138910790
Are you just being passive aggressive or something?

>>138911046

>>138911122
Man this place is real helpful!

>>138910689
In terms of language learning, keep up with anki and reading/listening to native material is literally all you need to do. There's not really any tips beyond that. For the N1 though, there's a good chunk of grammar that doesn't appear THAT often, so studying N1 specific textbooks (and practice exams) is a good idea if you want to ensure you pass.

Thinking about it, there's a couple tips about reading. First of all, if you're looking to work in Japan, you absolutely absolutely HAVE to practice reading news articles. Reading VNs and manga and young adult novels simply will not cut it when it comes to business Japanese. Second of all, it's easy to open up a book or webpage to read, then spend very little time reading it, getting sidetracked by say 4chan or even flipping through dictionaries. Always be vigilant and make sure you're actually staying focused and reading. I myself have wasted entire days of studying because I let myself be distracted and ended up barely reading anything. Creating a "reading" environment where it's hard to get distracted (closing all 4chan tabs, closing everything but the text + dictionary) is very helpful to me.

Was gonna type more but I see people being hostile so I figure you're gonna leave the thread soon so at least take this

Are the commas in Tae Kim's practice sentences actually used in Japanese or are they just there to help retards like me follow what's going on

example: 友達じゃなかったアリスは、いい友達になった。

>>138911192
Nah man, thanks a lot honestly anything more you got would be great. Ive been studying for just over two years now, I feel like Im not really progressing enough or Im going to slow so would like to speed up.

>>138911286

>>138911301
Ok, so you've been studying for over 2 years and you can still benefit from wani kani. That indicates to me a fundamental flaw in however you've been learning. From my little sphere of language learning wisdom, I can see 3 absolutely essential rules to succeeding in language:
1) Always introduce new cards in Anki (minimum: 10)*
2) Always do all of your reviews*
3) Always spend at least an hour a day reading (or listening if you're advanced enough).
Have you been doing these things? 2 years is 730 days, and that would be 7300 words + jouyou kanji if you had been following the above rules. Wanikani only teaches 6,000 words. So, I can conclude you haven't been following the above rules. I think the logic in them is clear to see, so I really recommend you start following them if you want guaranteed success.

However, you mention wanting to go fast, not just have guaranteed success. That's a bit tricky. Language learning is fundamentally focused on exposure to the language, and acquiring enough exposure to be fluent takes a very fucking long time. So wanting to go fast is also a trap of being disappointing - even if you work your ass off for 16 hours today, the improvements in your language may not be that notable on a large scale, see what I'm getting at? In short, be prepared to take a long time to learn a language even going fast.

That out of the way, going fast isn't a complex thing. Like I said earlier, your speed is determined by the amount of work you do. So, if you want to go faster, do more work. Do more cards in anki (warning: beware of overload) and read more. That's it. Going through the Dictionary of Japanese Grammar (anki deck or actual book) will give you a huge boost in reading speed if you don't know the contents within it,

So it's just normal だけ and not the specific だけの grammar structure as here? http://www.jgram.org/pages/viewOne.php?tagE=dakeno

>>138911489
Thanks a lot! Seriously a big help!

Currently looking up that Anki deck you mentioned but can only find the beginner one. Seems the others got taken offline from what I read.

>>138911559
だけ meaning "as much as..." only applies to verbs. 速い isn't a verb.

There is no "specific" だけの construct, it's just だけ+の.

>>138911742
The OP contains those decks.

"as well as I can"
"the way I do it"
etc.

>>138912011
Wow. I like the way it modifies the part of speech.

>>138912010
That's not actually true, not only because it's not 也 in this case, but simply because the archaic version of ある is あり and the なり with the similar meaning is just shortened from に あり. Similarly with たり and と あり. As such, they're all simply variants of あり ultimately.

>>138912029
I was hoping it could replace Tae Kim. I'm slogging through special expressions but I really, really dislike textbooks, it feels too clinical and I have a hard time retaining the content. Is there an Anki deck that I could use in its stead?

>>138912110
What makes you think a goddamn dictionary would be less clinical than an online textbook designed to be as concise as possible for self learners reading for the first time yet be detailed enough for reference?

>>138912195

>you referring to DoJG or Tae Kim?
Tae Kim, but I imagine studying grammar through the DOJG itself (not the deck) would be even more laborious.

>>138912207
Please don't try Genki. It's weird that you're struggling with Tae Kim since it's supposed to be easy.
However, if you got bored with Tae Kim, Genki will bore you about a million times more. That book is just boring to death and is an example of what's wrong with traditional Japanese Textbooks.

>>138912228
How about you give a real argument on why anyone who actually wants to learn Japanese should use Genki.

>>138912257
It's not really that I'm struggling with it, I just can't seem to focus because it's boring as fuck and I always get distracted while reading it (and yes, I know it's not supposed to be fun, but as I said, the problem is the textbook format and not the content.)

>>138912207
Oh, then you can just use the tk anki deck then

>>138912234
>but I imagine studying grammar through the DOJG itself (not the deck) would be even more laborious.

You're right with that I'm afraid. I'm telling you, studying a dictionary is a lot more boring if you think Tae Kim is boring.
After you finish Tae Kim though, a lot of DoJG would make sense and it'd be easier for you than doing DoJG first. The conjugation tables for Tae Kim are also far better than the ones @ DoJG.

>>138912324
Genki circumvents the typical problems of the format pretty well.

>>138912324
He's trolling you. He's one of those ironic shitposting motherfuckers who thinks it's really funny and cool to give out misinformation.

>>138912356
I'm pretty sure you're just memeing, but whatever. I have Genki on my phone so I might as well read a few chapters to see how it goes.

>>138911812
Think I got it, thanks.

when everyone's meming, no one is

>>138912412
You have to try it for yourself, it worked far better than Tae Kim or DoJG for me.

>>138912324
Well then, you'll just have to endure a few more days of boredom I suppose.
Advanced topics is just a few pages away.

Believe me though, the Anki deck helped me a lot when I was struggling, it should help you too.

>>138912324
I found it interesting and fun, personally. Then again, I'm the kind of guy who can read the DOJG like a book, and not get bored.

why do you study japanese

>>138912412
Seriously see >>138912391

>>138912487
Yeah, I guess so. Just to be clear, though: the Tae Kim Anki deck is meant as a complement -- not a replacement -- to the grammar guide, yes?

>>138912457
On the off chance you're actually serious about that shit working for you then congratulations. You're the only one I've met on DJT with that.

The rest of us are probably thinking though:
-Not using Kanji Immediately
-Using romaji
-Using inappropriate hiragana for jukugo
-boring excercises
-poorly structured way of teaching grammar
-immediately teaches you 'masu', 'desu' without even teaching Vmasu stems, etc.

Even as a dictionary, DoJG is a million times better than that shit.

>>138912655

Now I know the textbook tries to be polite by not scaring readers with those scary-looking Kanji but that's exactly what Tae Kim's talking about that's wrong with conventional textbooks.

>>138912748
I see. So Genki does that shit throughout most of the book?

>>138912789
Yes, it's a waste of time to be honest.
I wasted about two weeks on that book so I know it just won't work as efficiently as the methods of koohii or DJT.

A while ago I started studying Japanese. I went through Genki 1, 2, and "3", and then moved on to practicing reading manga. I read Yotsuba&! and then checked the English translation. I was pretty happy to see that my understanding was pretty accurate. I tried some more advanced manga, but decided that Yotsuba&! was a better fit for the time being.

Later on, I met a friend who's also learning Japanese, but he's much more advanced than I. At a bar, I heard him talking with another person in Japanese, and I could understand most of the words, but I couldn't really follow the conversation. It was aggravating feeling that I was so close yet so far to actually conversing in Japanese.

I came to a bit of a revelation--almost all of my conversing was in English. For almost all of my conversations, actually communicating was valued over learning Japanese, so we would often default to English, which was easier to communicate in.

So one night with friends, I refused to speak English--buckling down and being adamant to speak only in Japanese. My friends, who had had good intentions by translating for me previously, were actually hurting my Japanese ability by making Japanese conversations too "easy" for me, and that prevented me from actually improving. It was rough at first, but after just a couple of days of refusing to speak in English, my spoken Japanese improved by leaps and bounds, and now I can understand most of the conversation when speaking with friends.

tl;dr: If you want to be good at conversing in Japanese, practice conversing in Japanese--using English as a crutch will stunt your growth!

>>138913205
No. But I think they're pretty inconsequential. My impression of Genki looking back is that it was in general deeper than Tae Kim in its explanations, and in its detail, and I'd say that's ultimately more important than teaching the masu-form later on.

2004年、歴史家のジョン・ソーンは、ピッツフィールドの新しい集会所から80ヤード (73 m) 以内で「野球」を行うことを禁じた1791年の法に関する言及を発見した。司書のアンマリー・ハリスがバークシャー・アセネウム図書館で実際の法令文書を見つけ、その年代はウィリアムズタウン芸術保存会館の研究者が検証した。現代の野球に正真正銘、実際に言及したことが認められれば、この1791年の文書はアメリカにおける最古の野球に関する言及ということになる。この文書はピッツバーグ図書館のウェブサイトで確認できる。

I have a question regarding the usage of Anki.
I've been studying 日本語 for the past ~3 months and I just recently began learning Kanji (currently using Kanjidamage). What I do is learn a couple of new kanji every day and then put them into Anki with the Onyomi/Kunyomi/Jukugo, then I try to do a daily study session however most of the time Anki just tells me that I have nothing to review. I know that the current beginning Kanji are super easy (like 一二了 etc etc) since I'm still at the beginning, however is there a way to force Anki to just do a daily review rather than forcing me to wait 13 days (or whatever the "easy" tag is) before showing them to me again?

Like, is there no "endless" mode where I can just keep flipping cards until I get bored of it myself?

is there an add-on for anki that lets me input text like realkana?

>>138916932

The whole point of Anki is forcing you to wait to try again, that's the reason it works so well.

How many new kanji do you do a day?

>何もお話する事はありません
>There's nothing for us to talk about.
>There's nothing to talk about.
>There's nothing we should talk about.
Are all of these pretty much right here or did I understand the sentence wrong?

>>138916932
>with the Onyomi/Kunyomi/Jukugo,
You should be learning those in the context of words, e.g., the Core 2K/6K deck in the guide.

>to just do a daily review rather than forcing me to wait 13 days (or whatever the "easy" tag is) before showing them to me again?
If you want to study more cards, do more new cards. You're never going to get anywhere doing "a couple" kanji a day - do 20 or 30.

>>138916932
Custom study.

>>138917109
Why?

>>138917123
I'm not doing much at the moment, literally doing 1 or 2 new kanji every day but I am planning to get more into it (last two weeks have been very busy for me, that's why).

What would you think is the optimal daily kanji intake? Something that doesn't impact long-term remembering (I read somewhere that if you go in full-focus mode and learn a lot of shit instantly you will much more easily forget it rather than just learn a bit at a time, slowly)

>>138916932
You don't want endless mode, trust me. The "point" of anki is to introduce a lot of content (20 new cards a day for example) and then let SRS sort out which ones you need to review.

Take Core2k/6k for example. If you stuck to "endless" mode, then you'd be doing 6000 reviews a day by the end of it. No bueno. Logically, you just want to review stuff you're struggling to remember. How do you target just the stuff you're struggling to remember? Why, by letting Anki suss that information out via SRS and schedule cards according to your needs. Don't fight it or try to do endless. Just let SRS work. You'll be better off for it.

>>138917197
Why don't you do 20 a day until the kanji becomes hard, then you can stop and do 1 or 2.

>>138916222
馬フェティッシュだ

>>138917237
This is a good point, it's probably better this way.

>>138917172
>>138917216
Yeah you're right, I should probably introduce more kanji and then let Anki sort the rest. I guess I misunderstood how Anki was supposed to work, thanks.

>You should be learning those in the context of words, e.g., the Core 2K/6K deck in the guide.
What do you mean? I'm learning the Kanji (both readings), how to write it properly (although not a big deal, I'm mostly focusing on reading rather than writing) and the meaning. With the Jukugo I get familiar with multiple definitions of the same kanji associated with others. Obviously depending on the kanji I might also save a few sentences that help me contextualize it or memorize it better but I haven't had the need yet since I'm still at the easy ones.

>>138917197
Hey

You can just try it

Set new cards to 1000 or whatever and do all of them

You'll see

>>138917197
>literally doing 1 or 2 new kanji every day

Jesus man that's pathetic. Just grab the Core2k/6k deck from the guide and set it to 10 new cards a day if you want ot go really slowly.

>>138917311
>I guess I misunderstood how Anki was supposed to work, thanks.
No problem, I literally did the exact same thing. It's the logical thing to do given how we've treated flash cards our whole life. I think it would be beneficial to include a brief disclaimer on how anki works in the startup guide

Hi, I recently started using kanjidamage deck for anki but I think I'd rather get the kani and then I try to figure out what it means instead of what's it doing right now: telling me the definition / writing and I have to figure out how to write it?

>>138917604

Do some research

>>138917636
What?

>>138917311
For your specific case, since you seem like you have very little number of cards for the moment, then don't click easy, click good. Do custom study if you want to review more on the day. Click browse if you want to read all your cards. Read anki manual if you want to know how srs method works and what is considered a good idea or what isn't on how to use anki.

>>138917737

this is what my cards are doing it right now:

1) it shows me the definition ie. one, ichi, itsu and some examples
2) when I click shows answer it shows me the kanji for it

I'd rather have it show me the kanji first and show me what it means / how it's written after I click show answer.

>>138917982
What you're describing is literally core2k/6k. You fell for the kanjidamage meme but there's still time to get on the right track.

>>138918083

> you fell for the kanjidamage meme

I've fallen for many memes and I feel like none of them are teaching me well. I figured going step by step with kanjidamage and using anki for reviewing them would be a decent method since I'm retarded and have learning issues.

>>138918284
The meme meme is a meme. There aren't any learning methods that are that bad. Except jumping between methods trying to find the best one.

I usually mine words I found written in kana exactly how I see them, not because I have the problem with learning the kanji but the other way around, there's no fucking way I can recognize a word in kana until I repeatedly fail it in anki for like a month.

>>138918990
I found another explanation here: http://okwave.jp/qa/q3222649.html

●消耗品＝1年以内に消耗するであろう物品
（コピー用紙、文具　など）
●備品＝耐用年数が1年を超える物品
（机、キャビネット　などの什器）

It doesn't really make sense in that manga then according to these definitions. But then again Cocoa isn't the brightest

備品 is just equipment man. 軍装備品 is military equipment, オフィス備品 is office equipment.

If you're confused with some words, at your level where you can read just fine, just break down the meaning of each kanji or/and use J-J dictionary.

備品 for a cafe is items related to the cafe operation itself.

I'm wondering if I should add cards without kanji to the core6k deck... I sometimes feel like I only recognize a word and its meaning when I see the kanji.

>>138913015
Second time I read this blog, good advice, though.

>>138920398
Yeah, the kanji is often a nice mnemonic for the word, I've been wondering about this too. Reading feels like the best cure, though.

>>138920398
Just make audio recognition cards.

>>138920823
That's an interesting idea! I'll just have figure out how to wrangle anki to do that...

The original is "Don't forget", that's not an I, it's an n cut off.

体はローマン字出来ている。
血潮は怠慢で心は暗記。
幾たびのカードを越えて不敗。
ただの一度も敗走はなく、
ただの一度も復習を諦めない。
彼の者は常に独り
漢字達の丘で勝利に酔う。
故に、生涯に意味はなく
その体は、きっとローマン字で出来ていた。

What the fuck. The hat is not the only thing standing out.

Is there a trick to making Google IME not randomly activate while I play vidya?

Where's you Anki + Anki session, casual

Why is Rikaisama so hell bent on saving 東 as あずま and ひがし as 干菓子?

Are you doing 200 words a day?

I want to finish learning Spanish before I start Japanese, but holy shit.

I
Literally.
Can't.
Learn.
Spanish.

>>138922079

I just finished, I had a mined backlog of 104 cards and I just wanted to clear them all. I went slow as fuck with it though, I really should have been done hours ago.

That said, taking a long time to solidify the words in the learning phase does do wonders for retention. This time I was just wildly inefficient.

How many sex scenes are there in Satsukoi?

>>138922157
>learning Spanish
Why?

>>138922200
Many but they're all bundled up in the middle of a route

>>138922229
>not putting one scene in the beginning the get the reader going

So, been reading a bit and came across the term "ED気味". Now google told me the ED stands for Erectile Dysfunction, but I can't make any sense of it why it would be combined with the kimi. It it literally the tendency for ED, or is it some weird combination with sensation?

A sex scene is meaningless if it's not preceded by tens of hours of character and relationship development

Thanks

I was asking a question about a piece of literature often recommended for use in learning Japanese. You are off topic.

>>138922475
A sex scene is meaningless if it isn't well written, which none of them are.

>>138920043
>And are these shortcuts standardized in any way?
Shortcuts that were standardized became 新字体.
