In the end, the only real statement I care to make about RtK, is you either
>spend a bunch of time with RtK, learning only the general english meaning of the kanjis concept, without any readings or context for it, which may or may not help you learn faster in the long run
vs
>spend a bunch of time studying actual japanese from a vn or whatever

If you think the former will work for you go ahead.

Or just use a deck that has vocab/readings in it and do vocab at a faster pace alongside/after RTK. Plus RTK is primarily for handwriting and gives you an extremely strong visual grasp on every kanji you see. Almost every card failed is reading-related for me (usually a new reading I'm still getting down or a really weird reading). Both are fine. Don't be a retard.

There's nothing "simple" about half-page-long "mnemonics" about dancing dandelions on flying bacon strip carpets barrel rolling through clouds, which chain off three previously-used mnemonics.

I prefer my mnemonics to actually be memory aids, not the main event. You shouldn't have to study exclusively to recall them. I use keyword+radical breakdown to kanji now, learn vocab to help key my recall, and only spend time developing mnemonics for the leeches. You know ... a balanced, non-autistic approach.

>Now the odd thing is not that this occurs, but rather that, instead of openly admitting one’s distrust of purely visual memory, one accuses oneself of a poor memory or lack of discipline and keeps on following the same routine. Thus, by placing the blame on a poor visual memory, one overlooks the possibility of another form of memory that could handle the task with relative ease: imaginative memory.
>By imaginative memory I mean the faculty to recall images created purely in the mind, with no actual or remembered visual stimuli behind them. When we recall our dreams we are using imaginative memory. The fact that we sometimes conf late what happened in waking life with what occurred merely in a dream is an indication of how powerful those imaginative stimuli can be. While dreams may be broken up into familiar component parts, the composite whole is fantastical and yet capable of exerting the same force on perceptual memory as an external stimulus. It is possible to use imagination in this way also in a waking state and harness its powers for assisting a visual memory admittedly ill-adapted for remembering the kanji.

I did read what was written in the book. RTK worked very well for me and it still does. The mnemonics other people came up with simple stuck a lot easier than the ones I was able to come up with even if I kept trying to adjust my own mnemonic. Not sure what you're taking issue with here. His word isn't absolute law, if someone else's mneomics are working leaps and bounds better than my own for a kanji, there's no reason to stubbornly keep trying to make my own mnemonic stick, it's a waste of energy and isn't going to improve anything (based on my personal experience). Plus a lot of the time the koohii story was more or less what I came up with anwyays.

I process words? If you read a stop sign, do you have to visualize yourself stopping the car to actually do it? It's not that hard to understand.

RTK just isn't the right method for everyone. I was taxing too much mental power to the task of trying to visualize mnemonics when I could have just been studying repetitively until I noticed patterns and retained the visual information. I had basically ended up studying how to study RTK, where kanji was a side effect instead of the end goal.

There is a difference between representing something accurately and promoting it, anon. I would never recommend WK to anyone but I would also never try to make WK look like something it isn't.

Doesn't matter.
>If I say I don't like tomatoes, I mean I don't like any tomatoes. It's the same thing.
It means you don't like tomatoes in general, not that you don't like /any/ tomato.

"Things" specifically allows exceptions, especially in places that are not related to the statement. "I don't like tomatoes" doesn't instantly mean you hate pizza. It can, but it doesn't have to. A sassy parent might say that to their kid after they say they don't like tomatoes, but that's just the parent being difficult.

"I don't like any tomato" means that tomato products are necessarily included in your dislike, regardless of whether that dislike may be weaker or stronger.

The relationship between "things" and "anything" is the same. I can say "I can't memorize things" in a conversation about studying school subjects, but then go home and read hours upon hours of technical computer science information and retain it with no difficulty at all, and there's no contradiction there. If I said "I can't memorize anything", then it would necessarily be a statement about my ability to commit things to memory in general, even if I were exaggerating.

No it doesn't. No one but you and equally pedantic faggots would think that. It refers to tomatoes specifically, not tomato products and anything that might have one in it. If I wanted to say I hate literally anything with a shred of tomato in it I wouldn't use the word for the plant itself.

>I can say "I can't memorize things" in a conversation about studying school subjects, but then go home and read hours upon hours of technical computer science information and retain it with no difficulty at all
You can, but you wouldn't, because that's a vague and useless sentence unless you have more context since it would hold true for anyone. It's within the realm of possibility that the anon really can't visualize anything and he didn't mention anything in particular that would lead you to believe he was talking about some specific kind of things, other than perhaps those that you would find in a mnemonic. That at the very least makes it ambiguous what he really meant, and in my opinion makes it more likely he really did mean anything.

I'll concede that the some goes for "I don't like tomatoes", in that it may, depending on context, be reasonably interpreted as meaning that I don't like most of the tomatoes I've had, but it could just as well be meant in the other way.

If you asked me to visualize a tree with fish hanging from it that a man is catching with a basket while wearing a crown and having one peg leg, and then ask me to think of this image for a minute to remember the way a single kanji is written, truly FEELING the image and imagining myself there, I would be lost. The best I could manage is a crude drawing akin to a 4 year old's art project hung on the refrigerator.

Not that I am literally braindead and a walking husk of a man just coming to /a/ so I can culturally immerse myself in compelling content like porn games.

>>139727662
I don't visualize shit. I just recognize radicals/primitives and recall whatever story is associated with the kanji. Most of my mnemonics consist of pants on head retarded shit that makes no sense. I swear, like half of the ones I've written are just the name of the primitives in order, then the meaning of the vocab/kanji with no real story to connect them. This special type of autism works for me.

Could I grab the attention of a few anons?
https://a.uguu.se/sroqti_%E3%81%8C-Copy.pdf
Above is an example of one of the concepts from the DoJG (basic volume) which has had its respective image from the DoJG Anki deck converted to text, added to the DoJG.pdf. It lacks the key sentence and example sentence letter labels, so pretend they are there as I'm going to add them as I go.

I've converted a few dozen concepts so far and are going to start adding them batches, but haven't got a format laid out. The docx version of the DoJG.pdf I am using is done really well, everything properly in styles, so I used two pre-existing styles; one for the 【Notes】/【Related Expression】and one for the body of the Notes text, so tweaking that is just a matter of tweaking the styles.

Question on the format: if that okay for the Notes section or is there a more ideal layout?

>>139727855
It's really just a really informal way of speaking. You can't really attach it to everything...and as someone that grew up hearing it, its really hard to explain.

〜だろ is usually attached at the end of a sentence when you're seeking agreement

So in your example, そうだろう = that's right (there are a lot of houses aren't there?).

〜ぞ is just for emphasis. Like 〜ね, except that's more fem.
Again, if you're going to try to understand nips by making every translation literal you're going to have a bad time.

It's hard to start using endings out loud too as a foreigner in Japan, because I feel like I'm having to copy Japanese people instead of actually speaking myself, and it never comes out naturally.

Even adding a よ at the end makes me feel like I'm trying too hard to make up for my shitty oral skills.

Nips are pretty forgiving towards foreigners trying to speak their language. I'd say don't think too much about sounding stupid and forced and use them when you think it's right. It's pretty nuanced, but it's something you'll pick up the longer you're there.
>>

That applies pretty much anywhere in the world. It`s really dumb to get pissed at a foreigner for not knowing your native language perfectly.

>>139728264
Might sound like strange advice but getting into the habit of mindlessly mimicking and blurting out lines and chunks of speech from male characters in Japanese movies can help you become more used to vocalising and slipping in those sorts of things without really thinking about it.
For a shitty anecdote early last year I had a random conversation with a Japanese guy at an airport lounge who was taken back when the person I was waiting for arrived shortly after and I took my jacket and beanie off and started talking to the other person in English, because he only just realised I was a foreigner, which was really amusing for some reason. That was basically on the back of watching a shitload of Japanese movies and chatting with people online, with next to no speaking conversation experience.
With small talk it isn't all that hard because conversations are predictable as shit most of the time. Like a lot of things, really: the more you think about it the harder it is to do.

Bars are a great place for conversation "practice" as drunk Japanese guys don't usually give a fuck if you sound stupid and younger guys will probably be amused just by the fact that you exist.

Frenglish is easy. Understanding them is English, but I was taking French at the time and wanted to practice. Most were dicks and would rather speak to me in English worse than my French.

I did pick up some stupid shit like tabarnak and putain.

>>139729306
Yeah it's pretty mediocre. I've been mostly reading it on the side because it just wasn't too compelling to me most of the time. I'm liking this route quite a bit more than the others so far (aside from how heavy of an emphasis it has on H scenes, but the other routes have that problem too and it's a problem with moege in general since that's what sells), but I didn't really like the other routes.

>>139729635
Watched だがしかし last season with Japanese subs. After I catch up on last season's shows probably I'm gonna do 2 with Japanese subs this season and 1 with no subs. Maybe more depending on how that goes.

I'm also re-watching shows while doing vocab reviews (currently Toradora). I said it a thread or two ago, but if you're at the point where you can read moege fairly well, I'd highly recommend it. You've already seen it, so there's no need to worry about ruining it, and you have context and memories to go off of to help you understand it.

http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F
Most of them are timed to TV broadcasts with ads and stuff, so you'll have to shift them after the OP, eyecatch, and ED. You'll have to look at the sub file and calculate the time difference between the first line of the section in the audio and the sub file and adjust it accordingly with f1/f2 in MPC.

You can also texthook MPC if you're using a 32bit version of MPC, so it can be used with http://pastebin.com/raw/DgZ84qwk for easy lookups (once a line displays once, the texthooker won't pick it up again, at least in my experience).

Most likely http://kitsunekko.net/ it is about the only place to get Japanese subs. Most of them are timed to raws, which includes commercials, so the timing is all messed up. Look for ones that are from DVDs or BluRays or sometimes you can find ones timed to Commie or other sub group releases.

On Nyaa search for Kamigami. Most of their releases have Japanese subs.

Speaking of texthookers, does anyone know a good version for Mac OSX 10.6.8? Kanjitomo requires an update but all past that 6 year old OS are trash and I don't want to update just to make mining decks easier.

So with the core 2k/6k optimized in Anki is there a way to basically extract those cards or a way to read them in just a simple text format outside of Anki in the order that it presents them? or maybe some other software that has the same cards? I think my issue with Anki is I have learned roughly 300 or so words from it so far, Kanji or otherwise, but I'd like to somehow be able to just view ALL those words at once in a list just to kinda do a recap trough all of them one by one, if I already know them it wouldn't take very long anyway and it's a good refresher and a way to see all of the ones I've studied at a glance.

I have words that won't show up again for another 31+ days, so I won't see those for a while, and yeah even if I know them it's just nice to have a list where I can just scan all 300 that I (should) already know in one quick sitting.

They're mid-tier phones. Pretty, well designed, easy-to-use, and well optimized for their purpose of feeding the general public.

I think people saw it and just didn't want to help because they knew if they told you it was a bad idea and to not bother then they'd have to get into a debate with you over it.

Just don't fret about it. Let Anki do its thing. If you're worried about mature card retention, then just try to get your cards as close to 20 day intervals without going over and then let them pass to the 22-24 day intervals if you feel you know them well enough.

With rikai you can save words to a txt file and it should have the full dictionary read out.
That way you can take those words in brackets (I assume) before the term itself and look them up online, etc.

Harsh reality bud: even people who know English don't read Joyce.
>>
>>139741828

I bet there are at least a few Japanese people for whom something like Planescape: Torment has a similar status. Of course the language itself is for the most part perfectly normal so once you do have a solid grasp of English it's no problem, but at the stage when you're not yet great at it the sheer amount of text and the unusual and abstract themes it revolves around probably make it pretty intimidating and hard to interpret correctly.

But that's not true though. If people didn't read VNs then they wouldn't adapt manga/anime from them in the first place. And even assuming literally nobody read them before an anime adaptation, people sure as shit do once they have an anime.
>>
>>139742706
Indeed, in the west.
>>139742715
>some old irish writer
I mean, he's very popular and discussed all the time. If you don't know him it means you're ignorant of western literature and that reflects poorly on you. Kind of like how if you ask who Kobe Bryant is, it'll reflect poorly on you in regards to basketball.
>>
>>139742591
I still don't see your point. Yes, more people read children's books than they read [insert random classic] here. Doesn't really have to do with anything though.

The point is that people who are interested in literature over in Japan (or anywhere) might learn English.

Stop judging people by your arbitrary standards

>>139742891
Wrong thread.
>>
>>139742796
OK. (from my perspective, gained from spending time here) There's a significant number of people learning Japanese specifically to read VNs, with Muramasa and Dies Irae to be big motivators. There is almost certainly NOT a significant number of Japanese people learning English for the likes of Joyce and Nakobov. Especially since writers like Nakobov have Japanese translations, and Joyce is somebody nobody ever wants to read.
>>139742891
>doesn't mean he's retarded or stupid
Right, he's just extremely ignorant of western literature. I don't feel superior for knowing Joyce or anything, it's just a name. A name so common that when someone says they don't know it I immediately know they are extremely ignorant. I don't see your problem here.

OK, sorry, that was rude of me.
名 means name, and it is pronounced な.
前 means "before"/"in front of" and in this case is pronounced まえ
so 名前, even though it sounds like "name" somewhat, has such heavy roots in Japanese words (and history, anyway, it was used before the dutch came over) that there's no chance it's a loanword.
That guy who mentioned ダメ was trolling so I assumed you were too

>>139746867

Aren't you aware of the Jewish connection?
>>
>>139746974

名前 refers to first name. 前 meaning "in front of" in this case.
>Could it be that the Chinese got it as a loanword and the Japanese got it by proxy through Kanji?
No
>>
>>139747050
I guess this makes more sense, but I'm still inclined to believe that it's a loanword. I feel that's more true.
>>
>>139746974
>Why is it before the name?
w-what?

It's like first name and last name. first name (or in front of name) is なまえ

I hope you're joking.
>>
>>139747083
>but I'm still inclined to believe that it's a loanword. I feel that's more true.
I don't know if you're trolling but it's straight-up not. It's completely untrue.
>>
>>139747117
Do you have any proof? You don't sound very trustworthy. I will continue to believe it's a loan word, sorry.
>>
>>139747101
Looks like too good to be true, but with the logicality of Kanji anything can be true.

What the fuck are you talking about? Surely if anything the concept that なまえ sort of sounds like "name" so therefore it is a loan word is the one that's "too good do be true".

How the fuck is combining in front of and name a ridiculous leap to "first name". You're a fucking idiot anon, please at least try to use whatever pathetic excuse for a brain you have in there.

But it's not, anon. We've read the foreword. We just think Heisig is WRONG. It's one thing to easily learn a couple vivid stories. It's another thing to grind through 3000 of them.

Heisig says you can do his whole book in 2-3 months. Think about what that entails. It means keeping 3000 random stories straight. These are stories where literally anything can happen; Heisig actually frowns upon using logic or sense in mnemonics! Was it gold balls, tennis balls, or shiny doorknobs spilling out of that hole in the tree? Did we plug it with an umbrella, or was it a bitlaser?

Mnemonics are fine and good but RTK takes it to an unreasonable extreme. Overall a shit method.
