Fair enough. Was just curious if any trainfags in DJT were going to read it since I'm not really much of a trainfag and feel this is a good opportunity to broaden my horizons, but the constant train related terminology explanation/infodump popups seems sort of intimidating when I'll have to look up pretty much every word in them.

It's as I thought. Nobody this shallow and petty could get far in anything in life after all.

RP is still markedly different because when you RP you're trying to maintain character.

It may not be better but it's still different from avatarfagging, and I don't find that this person is RPing anyway.

I'm having trouble memorising the Core2k/6k in Anki

I always have to have 5+ attempts at a new card before I get it, is that normal?

I also have trouble with things that are very similar like 持つ and 待つ. How do you guys remember stuff like this?

I had the idea of doing my Anki reps and then going through and grabbing all of the Kanji I had just gone through and adding them to a seperate deck that contains the Kanji then on the flip side the pronunciations and example words it's used in. Do you think that would help?

>>138986613
that's the point of anki, repetition

>>138986546
>森薫先生
調べとく。ありがと。

scrub question here

is the kanji and pronunciation for circle and yen exactly the same or am i missing something

>>138986613
待つ has the same symbol as 行く, which was like the first real kanji I learned. And I learned 待つ before 持つ so since it was the first of the two I draw a parallel to 行く.
Just find arbitrary patterns to help you with that stuff. If you're too dumb to come up with one feel free to remember that there's someone out there that learned 行く and 待つ before 持つ.

>>138986750
円い or まる - circle
円「えん」 - yen

Why though? There's nothing inherently wrong with using Rikai while reading as long as you're not over-relying on it. It's a convenient tool to make lookups faster and make the creation of new cards significantly faster. That's like saying anki is stupid when you can just do it the hard way and make physical flashcards.

Once I've blasted through Tae Kim, am I good to start reading Yotsuba?

I've started Core2k/6k but I'm only 100 words in. Am I best waiting until I have a certain number of words in my head before I attempt to read or will I be ok diving in now?

>>138987362
Wait till 700 words minimum for minimum pain.

But you can just try it now if you want. Good way to get used to the software you'd be using to help with reading anyway.

>>138987311
in what way

Does DS Bungaku Zenshuu have a dictionary or footnotes for grammar and such? If not, is there any DS game (?) that does?

>>138987521
it means two things

>>138987362

I'm about the same as you (though at 800 words) and I tried Yotsuba the other day.
I feel like it's a bit misleading to tell people to try for a first translation. First of all, Yotsuba is a retard, so half her sentences are grammatically incorrect. As someone new to Japanese, you're bound to get confused as fuck when she changes a pronunciation or misuses a word.

Better to start with something that's adult or teen focused imo.

>>138987578

>>138988666

>>138988526
Not necessarily, considering everything in there is very basic and essential, so if you take time to learn in properly, it'll serve you well.

>>138988877
The filename. It makes no sense to use hiragana for a single 字.

>>138988867
Uhhh... I guess I see why you'd want to do that. But I don't think it's really necessary for Tae Kim.
The idea is to go through it relatively quickly so you can start reading as soon as possible.
It's okay to not fully understand everything because you usually won't fully grasp it until you start actually reading.
You can always come back to it afterwards.

But I guess if taking it slow and writing helps you learn better then feel free to do so.
I personally took it pretty slow when going through Tae Kim but I wish I'd have spent less time going through it because my understanding of grammar didn't really start to take shape until I actually started reading.

I personally find it very helpful to do the reverse cards as well, because I force myself to write the kanji based on their english definition and that seems to make them force themselves in my head.

Does anyone else find that they subconsciously expect everyone to speak the same languages they do?

I'm always surprised when someone doesn't comprehend some Japanese word or phrase, even though logically I remember that I'm the only one who's learned the language.

How do I translate my name into Kanji? Is it even possible for a gaijin? Do I choose them based on meaning and attach furigana?
I just don't want to have a silly katakana name.

>>138989467
>How do I translate my name into Kanji? Is it even possible for a gaijin? Do I choose them based on meaning and attach furigana?
>I just don't want to have a silly katakana name.

Foreigners don't write their names in Kanji. It's just weird.

Japanese people won't even realize the Kanji they're looking it is supposed to BE a name if it's not a common Jap name and there's a gaijin face attached to it.

>>138989467
Just settle for katakana like a normal person, making up a kanji name for yourself makes you look like the ultimate autist.

>>138989380
I'm torn between doing more vocab a day (50 new + reps in the morning and then 50 more latter if I feel like it) so I can get to reading actual Japanese faster, or doing a Kanji deck along side the Core2k/6k.

If I was to do a Kanji deck I'd probably make my own based on the Kanji I meet in the Core2k/6k, since that would surely help me remember it.

Which do you think would be more benefitial?

>>138989440
Sometimes I have this kind of thing with English, I guess that's because almost nobody in my country speaks it.

>>138989523
How about learning english first.

>>138989440
I'm pretty sure that's legit one of the symptoms of autism, you might want to get yourself checked.

when omitting the first part of a clause, do you add 「だ」 or 「な」 irrespective of the (implied) ending of the first clause?

>>138989541
*beneficial, sorry anon

Hate to ask this, but does anyone have the kanji for "seibai (punishment)"?

>>138989563
No, it was lost in the war.

>>138989504
If I choose some relatively common Kanji for my name it should be okay though? I want to change my name to 和平 with the furigana reading of 「ミラー」. And one more thing, can I just use 2 characters or 4 characters are mandatory?
>>138989511
Yeah, I guess if I just start using rare Kanji it might cause a problem. But would it be okay if I don't?

>>138989440
>I'm legitimately autistic

>>138989563
Are you taking the piss mate? I googled "seibai" and it's literally in the first link. You make me sick.

>>138989467
Gaijins don't get kanji names.
Katakana are the Mark of the Gaijin and you must wear them proud as you stride into glorious Nippon.
A Gaijin attempting to adopt kanji into their name is disrespectful to our Nihonjin superiors.
Besides, I think katakana looks really cool.

Did you guys do the Tae Kim exercises or just read through it as fast as possible to get to reading actual japanese?

>>138993552
I remember it started with them, I was only 3 Chapters in from what I remember though

>>138993445

not that guy, but I'm reading Japanese the Manga Way first (already skimmed through Tae Kim) and I've found it much more enjoyable

of course when I read Tae Kim again I'm going to do all the exercises because last time I didn't to them I didn't learn shit

>>138993390
Just make a deck with the example sentences as you go through it and make sure that you understand them fully. There's no way the info will stick if you just read through the book once.

I feel guilty for using all of this bandwidth from AnkiWeb. I don't know how I even have 34,000+ media files.

Is there anyway to get Japanese text to work properly on Android? Ankidroid and other apps keep using Chinese.

>>138995574
Why do people actually bother with Ankiweb instead of just syncing with dropbox or something?

>>138995574
Yeah, man. I think they don't accept donations, but encourage people to contribute instead.

Why would one use an external hosting service instead of the direct syncing service that is part of the program?

>>138989654

Ankiweb has always been slow as shit for me and dropbox has the advantage that, if you actually use multiple computers, the syncing happens automatically behind the scenes.

Newfag here, the sticky doesn't give a recommendation for hoiw to learn kana, should I just grab a Hiragana+katana deck from anki and use that or is there a better recommendation? About how long should it take to learn the kana?

1. Find a kana table, just google it there will be hundreds
2. Write down each kana and their corresponding "sound" fiddy times
3. Jump on this and grind: http://realkana.com/practice/

I got them memorised in a weekend. With hiragana especially you see them constantly anyway so you won't forget them. I quit for over a year and when I came back I still remembered all the kana, it's almost impossible to forget.

>>138995918
Nah, we all start somewhere anon. Though it is something that could've been solved by checking Anki's manual. That deck has a lot more cards than it needs, so feel free to delete cards when you feel they aren't necessary or you don't need them anymore. You want to get through Tae Kim relatively quickly, so don't let the deck pace you and hold you back.

Sure.
Save them as tabbed spaced csv files and make sure the encoding is set to UTF-8. Alternatively you can copy and paste the contents of the spreadsheet directly into something as simple as notepad or a text editing program and save that as a txt file, making sure to save the encoding as UTF-8.

Anki will parse the tabbed spaces/columns as fields and each new row is contained to a single card. Using spreadsheets/text files is how all of the large/popular Anki decks came to be.

Cool.

Since the iknow core 6k content was released under creative commons, if you live in an area within reach of a native tutor or something, they'd probably be willing to be recorded if it equated to money. They usually charge a set amount per hour and tend to be willing to take on anyone for even the stupidest language related stuff. Might even be able to find a Japanese girl to record.
It is a better way of ensuring correct pronunciation from actual natives.

You are responding to one of those anons who doesn't want that avatarfag attention whore here. This petulant boogeyman attitude is just pathetic: there are many anons who want the shit removed from this thread.
Half the time the anons people like you start freaking out about have spent every other post in the thread being helpful but you just happen to be triggered by a phrase of an idea you don't like then your brain goes out the window and the religious fever takes over.
The amount of times I've been part of a constructive conversation with other anons for dozens of posts only to have a comment singled out and made into some /pol/esque monster that represents everything wrong the with world is obscene. If the memespewers, attention whores and paranoid nutcases were to leave this thread it would increase ten fold.

>>138999833
No, I'll take it with me to my grave.

>>138999833
No, and they won't know until I'm actually able to speak it.

Back when I was in uni I made the mistake of telling a classmate I was learning Japanese (after he was talking about going to jap classes himself). The weeb fuck constantly tried to speak to me in Japanese from that day forward and since he was learning through school lessons he was able to speak, and I wasn't in the slightest since I'd only just past 1k words in my vocab deck and couldn't actually form sentances at that point.

To make it worse he was always talking about jap porn, especially train rape ones because those were his favourite. I remember him telling me how in his japanese class he had to do a presentation and speak in japanese. In the presentation he had one of those cringey photoshopped images where he was with Miku and he actually said "Miku is my girlfriend" to a class full of human beings.

Other than that he was ok I guess, but he was so awkward it hurt. If you're reading this, fuck you James

Also I'm learning it almost entirely to read VNs so my family would never understand.

>This is what happens when your native language is simple as fuck
The problem isn't "english is simple", the problem is "these terms that describe most european languages are poor at articulating on the complicated parts of english", so they're mildly hard to explain in the context of english, at least hard enough that teaching them in elementary and middleschool doesn't work. Yes, they do teach them. Nobody remembers them, because they don't align with the subconscious grammar of english. As someone who literally speaks slang IRL, it's basically impossible for me to describe "genitive" without giving a list of examples, all of which use completely different english grammatical systems.

>>139001401
its only hard because of the billion ways fuck heads are allowed to say things and have it make sense

But it is literally 'After Five Queens'. Probably suggesting that XY are Queens after 5AM/PM.

Feels good to freely use Japanese for recreation. JRPGs seem to be a lot easier than "normal" Japanese though, well Demon's had some pretty hard words but SaGa could almost be written for kids, and maybe it is. The heavy use of Katakana is relieving, so need to learn words like "Flamberge" or "shotel"

But that doesn't require any fucktardedly confusing Kanji readings.

When using the Tae Kim Grammar deck with a low knowledge of vocab, how do you grade yourself?

For example if you got to 学生じゃない and knew that じゃない meant "is not" but forgot what 学生 was, do you say you passed and continue in the deck or do you mark that as a failure?

>>139001987
i mean the grammar is the important thing. its not a big deal if you dont know a vocab word in that context

>>139001987
I'd probably tick that as hard. Then again, I always learn the vocab before getting into the grammar, so that hasn't happened so far.

the harder ones look the most interesting

When it comes to VNs, it tends to be that the only games with unique stories/premises are chuuni, and chuuni games of course have more difficult language than other things. However you can find plenty of interesting VNs that aren't chuuni (And thus have easier language), its just they arent as IN YOUR FACE cool like Muramasa or Silverio Vendetta or whatever. Well, thats for the modern industry anyway.

終?

The problem is just that genuinely talented authors tend towards written media as opposed to VNs, or at least thats what I conclude looking at VNs. Opening a book and finding it to be well written is no surprise given the sheer quantity of talent but for VNs, finding quality writing is like finding pearls among swine. Not saying it doesn't exist, just that its by nature of reality harder to find. In my eyes, good writing tends to equate to interesting writing by the way. The quintessential example of this being Brothers Karamazov, an endlessly fascinating, interesting book that has practically 0 action, its carried by the quality of the author. Likewise a VN with good writing will be interesting by nature of the writing, most of the time.

Anyway, due to mixture of lack of talent, and trends set by forefathers, talented authors get spread between making Chuunige like Muramasa, or making obscure games no one plays. It's a shame. Well, perhaps the real shame is that Japanese fans endlessly drool over moege and thus THATS where the money is. Ridiculous. If moege productions ceased today the existing games would carry humanity for the rest of its life, for whoever cares about them.

Yes?

What else does it look like to you? It's clearer than the sun on a cloudless afternoon, two meters in front of your eyes.

That edit is so unfunny I grinned from the idea someone spent the time making it then actually uploaded it.
