I'm the kind of person who, if I were living in another time, if I had to pick any time, I would probably be a pioneer. I just love the simplicity of what it means to work hard with your hands - to eat and survive.

"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Dekiru the Wise?"

"No."

"I thought not. It's not a story that /djt/ would tell you. It's a Nihongo legend. Darth Dekiru was a Dark Lord of Nihongo so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the kanji-chlorians to create...posts. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the VNs he cared about...from being translated."

"He could actually...save kamige from translation?"

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

"What happened to him?"

"He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power...which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice deleted his Anki deck in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from English...but not himself."

"Is it possible to learn this power?"

"Not from /djt/."

I was wondering if anybody had a good physical jap-eng dictionary they could recommend. The glossary in Genki blows.

Is 坊や a loanword from English? Or just a false cognate? I'm inclined to believe the former, what are your thoughts?

Tireless refreshing has finally payed off!

Question: I began studying my core2k/6k after a long period of time and i feel something is not right. I've seen about 600 cards already and doing fine, but i'm starting to get some very difficult and far-fetched cards like 前売り券 , 活字. It's not that they are particularly hard, but i feel like i could be learning more useful words at this point.
It's something wrong with my deck or is it normal?

Do you drink cawfee while doing your reps?

If you're looking for words that aren't useful, Core2k/6k isn't the place. Everything there is there precisely because they're uber common.

Repost from last thread.
If it doesn't garner any feedback I'll assume that there isn't any current interest and I'll keep the project to personal preferences any maybe upload the final version pdf when it is done likely sometime around December or the start of 2017. Image used purely to draw attention- sorry about that.

Could I grab the attention of a few anons?
https://a.uguu.se/yshbqj_RelativeClause.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.
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? Also, what else would you like to see integrated into the document so it can be used as a mainstay replacement for manually looking things up across the three different stand alone Dictionary of Japanese books?

Would anyone recommend G-senjou no maou?

>>139829924

>>139829348

Last 3 days of ANKI in pic related.

>>139830008

Yes. While I am at my computer, I can look crap up. But I often end up having a few free hours with no internet.

>>139830165
youre supposed to write what you do in anki?

uh oh

>>139830188
Order a can of self-discipline from Amazon instead.

>>139829924
I get what you say, but should i really be learning the word for "Ticket you buy in advance" when i don't know how ti say things like "animal", "hospital", "chair", "egg", "kitchen", "shoe", etc...? ( i actually know most of this words, but not because of the anki deck )

>>139830313
動物, 病院, 椅子, 卵, 台所 and 靴 are all well before 前売り券 in Core6K, make sure your deck isn't set to random order.

I perfectly fine studying a few hours each day, this is not a matter of self-discipline.

I am just looking for something physical for when I have several hours of free time without any sort of online connection.

>>139830614
You either have the order set to random in your deck options or you downloaded some random shit instead of the deck in the Anki start-up guide.

>>139829961
Yes

It helps with memorization. But the time spent doing this could be spent doing more reps instead, so that's up to you. I've decided to do it like this because I don't want to remain only a passive reader.

Just curious, since many of you seem to spend almost all your study time learning Kanji, how do you make time to learn vocabulary?

Japanese seems like such a hard (and impressive) language to learn.

>>139833236
>since many of you seem to spend almost all your study time learning Kanji
That's not the case. Learning kanji through vocab is the official DJT approved method.

>>139833236
they either learn it at the same time or stick to the core deck like this >>139833329 anon and get completely assraped by jukugo.

>get completely assraped by jukugo.
I guess this is what a clueless RTK person would say, but it's completely false. Those are actually even easier than single kanji words are, as the optimised core deck loves to hammer a bunch of words that recycle the same kanji into your head in a row.

>>139833863
You know it does that so you can learn the kanji right?

>>139833954
And that's why doing RTK is pointless.

>official DJT approved method
This bullshit only serves to start flame wars.
There is no "official method", that's why the guide has many different suggestions and the CoR has a diverse range of resources suiting many different approaches.

Those sort of posts are the reason why this thread has so many stupid arguments over different opinions on the "right" way to do something. I don't know what you personally gain out of that sort of flamebaiting, but it negatively impacts everyone else who uses the thread who aren't here for /b/tard shitposting.

I thought you were doing Flyable Heart routes at like 1 route a week / a few days towards the end.

>>139850337
I hope that word never comes up in a VN.

>>139850378
Just make a new deck, select those cards, and use the "move deck" (or whatever it's called) button in the browse window.

>>139850411
Sweet, will try.

>>139850383
I add most words, usually not if I guess them, but sometimes I do it anyway.

In FH the common route was really boring which is why it took me 7-8 months just to read it, but the character routes were compelling, so I read them faster. Satsukoi is just not interesting right now. It teased me with a really interesting scene, but then immediately switched back to stupid high school shit and sex. I think it will get interesting eventually, I just have to keep going.

Some days I read FH for 6 hours. The longest I've read Satsukoi was 2 hours, and that was today just because I wanted to get the sex over with.

I am disappointed with myself. I really expected to go faster this time.

maybe instead of satsukoi you shoulda went with nanairo reincarnation

>>139850672
Yeah it's surprisingly how much more compelling most of the routes in Flyable Heart were compared to the common route (though a lot of that might've been related to reading capabilities and vocab). I understand the pains of something not being compelling though.

I was reading Seikishi Melty Lovers and had to put it on the side and read it on and off alongside other stuff most of the time because I just didn't find it very interesting aside from the end of the routes. Plus it had way too many H scenes. Only really liked one of the routes.

I'd probably force yourself to read more than you are and if it's still not compelling after you finish that route then just drop it and look for an interesting moege/charage or read the FH fandisc or Mayuri's VN or something (I'm probably going to start reading the fandisc tomorrow after I catch up on the anime that have aired this season and then Mayuri's VN after I finish the fandisc). After reading both of those your vocab and reading speed should be fast enough that you should be able to get through the not-so-compelling parts relatively fast with a bit of willpower.

>>139850857
FH was bretty gud outside of the common route. Especially if you read all the routes and pieced stuff together yourself as you went along. Route order would probably also matter (I imagine doing Yui's last would be best).

>>139850678
言うに事欠いて

>>139850672
It physically hurts me to see you putting yourself through this. I spent like 8 hours today reading my VN and plan to do the same tomorrow, and am loving every second of it. To think you would choose such a boring VN that you have to force yourself through it.

Although to be fair, it might just be your taste is shit, since the common route of Flyable Heart is actually good.

I'm confused about something here.

>>139851015
>FH fandisc or Mayuri's VN

I read the fandisc for a couple days, but decided I wanted to save it for later.

Next VN is probably White Album (not 2) or Leyline. As of now, I still plan to finish Satsukoi though.

>>139851044
Even when I used to read VNs in English it usually took me weeks or months to finish one. I usually have to force myself to even do things I enjoy, or I end up wasting time all day doing nothing.

>>139851319
If you're fine watching something shitty you might as well rewatch something you've already seen instead

Otherwise I guess One Piece or something like that

>>139851483
leyline is good for when you want to "graduate" from "character scenario" games to "character plot" games. the first one is immediately on the border between the two

>>139851307
I mostly just didn't like Seikishi. I think FH's common route might've just been because I was too shit at reading to enjoy it at the time, I'll have to re-read it down the line and see. If anything learning Japanese has made me like VNs even more and made me more interested in manga/LNs (but for now I'm keeping my focus on VNs).

>>139851319
Just watch a seasonal show with subs from http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F a 32bit player, and texthook it with http://pastebin.com/raw/DgZ84qwk

You'll have to shift the subs after the OP, mid-ep, and ED though (f1 / f2 in MPC). Just open the sub file and compare the time difference between the audio and the line in the sub file and adjust accordingly.

>>139851525
How big of a step up plot-wise is the 2nd and 3rd? I noticed it has a fairly large jump in ratings as well as seeing mentions of it them being harder to read than the first one, but not sure by how much.

>>139851574
no idea but the writing gets harder to read

>>139851539
>I think FH's common route might've just been because I was too shit at reading to enjoy it at the time
I think this is likely, it felt really really really long when I read it but it's not actually, it's just I read ridiculously slowly. You'll probably notice the difference when you read the common route of Mayuri's VN.

>he fell for the learning kanji meme
it's normal to not have super good retention of every vocab until you actually start reading them in context constantly, don't stress it.

>>139856106
This. Learning in context still trumps everything else. Try studying with yomichan.

>>139856106
>>139856158
Did you not read the post? I am reading them in context and all of the new cards I do are mined from stuff I'm reading and I keep the original sentence I found the word from on the back of the card, I'm just only adding difficult words and words I consistently had trouble guessing while reading.

RTK worked great for me, my retention in Core went from 70-75% to 95-99%, so that's not the problem. It's just that I'm mostly adding challenging words that I had trouble guessing or words would only pop up once or twice every couple VNs (or less often).

>>139856329
This. RTK helped me immensely with retention.

Only thing RTK doesn't help me with is grammar and holy shit I can't get grammar to work for me. Probably because I've turned into an anki drone.

I haven't done my reviews in a month and a half because of life problems and got 800 reviews waiting for me. Should I use a backup from february and roll back, or start the deck again? I'mm somewhere at 2200 words. If I start again how much new words should I do?

Can someone here help me translate this sentence? 中出しされているの喜び

>>139856572
Nah, anki accounts for your absence in it's SRS algorithm. Just go through the 800, maybe at X words a day if you can't handle them all at once.

For new cards, 10 is a minimum for making good progress. Never go lower (except for going 0 when too busy (which shouldn't be too often, plan around anki not plan ignoring anki) or when lowering reviews). 20 is more ideal, 30+ is fast but hard.

>>139855698
I keep my intervals at the default. I don't try to learn the "whole" new card under one day. Unless it's an easy one, I usually fail it the next day. Though by the third day at most, I'll have definitely remembered it for good. I found that this way the learning is more spaced out, and words stick better.

>>139856430
Grammar is easy to grind in anki with example sentences.

>>139856727
>Nah, anki accounts for your absence in it's SRS algorithm. Just go through the 800, maybe at X words a day if you can't handle them all at once.
Alright anon, I'll try that. I'll go back to adding new cards once I lower to at least 150 reviews a day.
>Never go lower (except for going 0 when too busy (which shouldn't be too often, plan around anki not plan ignoring anki) or when lowering reviews).

Thanks for the confirmation that you're just here to shitpost and shit the thread up (that or you're legitimately that much of a retard). I'm sure people will still continue taking the bait though.

>What are LN equivalents to SubaHibi
Ebiten: Kitan Kitan... it's even written by Sca-ji.

>>139862350
Everyone who disagrees with watching shit content for learning Japanese is baiting? Yeah, that's true.
>>139862357
I'll go watch some anime first.

>>139862062
>Am I wrong in thinking the VN library blows out LNs?
I think it's safe to say anyone with any real literary ability doesn't need porn or anime girls to sell their writing, so there's no good reason to act like there's some line between the two.

>>139862601
i can't read american literature anymore, porn games are my last resort
t. idiot who was stupid enough to read two thousand (i counted) classic science fiction short stories through middleschool and highschool

>Sca-ji
To be honest, looking at the references list on tlwiki for SubaHibi makes me intimidated to read his stuff because I'm not very well read and feel a lot of the concepts and references in some of his writing would go to waste or go over my head. Maybe I'm overestimating it, though.

>>139862514
Do you think anime uses different grammar than regular Japanese or something? The only difference between them is how much more polite Japanese are.

>>139862670
Why are you responding to obvious bait, anon?

>>139862660
In Subahibi the character explain everything to you pretty much. In Sakura no Uta not so much, but much of it is obvious, and it's still immersely enjoyable even if you don't get eveything.

>>139862658
I followed the scifi EU books religiously when I was a kid

Now that they've been retconned I want to kill myself

>>139862139
What's wrong with you, Rena?
I love Gekikara, anyway.

>>139862287
I don't actually dislike chuuni but I think a big part of chuuni for me are the chants and visuals, you know? I thought NGNL & Overlord anime were alright, but not sure about reading them. I was actually gonna start reading KonoSuba because of how much I loved the anime, but then they announced S2 and I'd rather wait for that now. OreGairu I've seen the anime of, this is actually the kind of stuff I'd read if it wasn't already adapted fairly well.

>>139862601
Not sure why you'd bring this up. I even listed some examples asking if there's equivalents in the other medium.

>>139862660
It's a meme at this point, it's far from difficult.

>>139862742
yeah it's half the retarded elaborate references and canon and "if you like the first foundation book you're an idiot" that started my downward trend, and it ended with me reading the index fan tl and realizing that the writing quality was basically the same, just in a different context

there's still such a thing as masterpieces but you can't find them because stories don't get put into the western canon until they're several decades old

>>139862670
They use overuse ridiculous words all they time. I watched one anime for listening practice and it was awful. I don't want to hear Japanese that's used only in anime. The rules might be the same (mostly), but the vocabularies are different.

>>139862833
>It's a meme at this point, it's far from difficult.
I've heard it's fairly easy from a Japanese-language perspective, but I'm more concerned about it from a literary perspective and not getting a lot of the references and concepts discussed in it. The sort of stuff that even if it were written originally in English or if I were fluent in Japanese, I'd still be intimidated by it or feel like it's a waste reading it when a lot of the stuff that isn't explained is going right over my head. I guess with what >>139862735 said it's probably not that bad, but still.

>>139862997
what anime was it
