Do I look like a 日本人 just based on my looks? Now I need some culture knowledge and I think I'll be ready for 日本. What are the best eroge or LNs for acquiring that?

>>140474502
You're definitely joking, but you'll absorb Japanese culture without a doubt just by reading things in general. Sticking to works written with a more mature mindset is best so you don't get like an aho protagonist who behaves deceptively.

After reading a lot of Japanese I've started bowing a lot subconciously and frequently those around me comment on my weird sense of morality which I've doubtlessly gained from all these white knight VN protagonists.

How long does it take to get a Japanese mind? I have been forcing myself to think in Japanese and I'm trying to adopt the 武士道 code now.
Have you read any good eroge or ln about katanas and how to wield them?

>>140474744
the most important katana to wield is the one in your heart

>>140474744
Well, unfortunately, western values will forever taint you. At best you can approach a mindset similar to Soseki's, in that you could appear similar to a Japanese person who lived abroad at some point in their life.

As for katanas, definitely read Muramasa and Hanachirasu. The author of those is a master of kendo and is very kuwashii about their usage, and this is reflected in his novels to a great deal.

>>140474857
ありがとう。
I try to eliminate my western values everyday, but they are so deeply ingrained in me that I can't suppress them 24/7.
I will definitely buy these eroge you recommended. And are there any eroge that would teach me about the more mystical side of katana usage when I master the techniques in Muramasa and Hanachirasu?

Last week, I started practicing some kanji handwriting, but I ended up not being able to keep it up. I intended to practice ~15 different kanji a day, 5 repetitions each, but it didn't work out really well, since I had already forgotten the first 15 or so by the end of the week.

Should I continue with this method or try a different approach? What approach would you suggest?

holy cow. I just started to read flyable heart(dad woke me up).
Tae Kim wasn't rely the right thing for me. I bought the Basic DJOG and just read through half of it. This feels so motivating right now.

But here is the thing now: Do I make progress, when I cling to chiitrans for a while? I just hover over every word, cause it marks the end of the kana-only-words. It feels like I'm cheating.

>>140475452
The way I see it, Anki is shit when it comes to practicing handwriting, mainly due to the fact that stroke order IS importat. I can already recognize several different kanji thanks to Anki, but I want to be able to write them out if I ever need or want to write a letter or somthing like this.

>>140475635
>but I want to be able to write them out if I ever need or want to write a letter or somthing like this.
Putting aside that this will never happen (ever hear of printers?), Anki is definitely not shit when it comes to practicing handwriting, and I have no idea what stroke order has to do with that.

I am learning through Genki and now I can read basic novels but I feel like I can't understand them. What should I do?

>>140475374
Can you post 10-15 new photos per thread please? Thanks.

>>140475726
Read more.

>>140475635
So you just search them on Jisho, learn the stroke order, and then write it everytime it comes up in Anki. Anki is still useful for repeatedly making you write/read it.

>>140475792
But what should I read? I'm not interested in shit like anime etc.

>>140475842
Whatever you want to. If you don't want to read anything, then stop learning Japanese.

>>140475862
I just don't want to read anime like shit stuff. Is there anything real and for beginners?

>>140475669
>ever hear of printers?
Well, the thing is that I want to become fluent in Japanese and fluency is usually defined as an individual's proficiency is all four elements of a language: writing, reading, listening, and speaking.

>>140475669
>>140475810
>So you just search them on Jisho, learn the stroke order, and then write it everytime it comes up in Anki.
Hm... I hadn't thought about combining Anki's repetition with anything other than kanji recognition. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

>>140475898
>real
Yes
>for beginners
Everything

>>140476017
That's actually not true. Plenty of fluent speakers are illiterate. Some fluent people are deaf. Some fluent people are blind. Etc. And, it's actually a growing trend in Japan for natives to be unable to write anyway. So really, it's a laughable prospect, attempting to learn to write. Not even natives do it.

>>140476048
Anime isn't real in both language and the 3D world.

>>140476105
yeah they do

>>140476105
Not him, but... Is this really the path we're walking? Damn, that's mediocre as fuck

>>140476190

>>140476183

>>140476190
Technology is removing the need to write. If you don't write kanji frequently, you forget how to. It's the inevitable course.

>>140476105
>Not even natives do it.
And why the fuck should anyone care?

>>140476190
It's inevitable to not be able to remember how to write 2000+ characters in the digital age where people hardly ever have to write anything substantial by hand.

>>140476237

>>140476240
Because natives are the pinnacle of those "fluent in Japanese", and by his definition they wouldn't be fluent. In truth, writing has no relevance as to one's fluency. That's all I'm saying.
>>140476271
Even if you don't like it... so it goes.

>>140476257
Are you fluent?

>>140476257
I don't know. I just feel like you are a superior being to me.

>>140476290
I'm pretty sure I'm more fluent than most natives.

Just wondering, how long has everyone here been trying to learn Japanese? Can you read a newspaper, or a book, or even a manga and do you need to reference your material? How long does it take you to read the aforementioned things. I'm just trying to get a rough idea of how difficult this is going to be,

>>140476480
2 years
>book, manga
yes
>newspaper
no
>how long
i dunno they vary in length
>difficult
it wont be difficult, its just time consuming. its like running or biking or whatever. yeah its kinda hard but the real challenge is doing it every day consistently for years.

>>140476457
Could you elaborate on that kudasai desu?
>>140476480

>>140476312
No. I can speak Japanese (though I tend to mess up formal/informal speech), I can watch anime and I can read manga without much issues in terms of reading or listening comprehension, but vocabulary (or rather the lack thereof) is a huge barrier that keeps getting in the way of being able to understand things or expressing oneself.
I think you're fluent once you can pick up a book, start and hold a conversation or watch a movie or TV show just as casually as you would in your native language.

>>140476323
Trust me, I'm not.

>>140476480
2.5 years, though I haven't been doing much more than watching anime and reading manga for this past half year.

>>140476453
can you just accept that youre just on a lower rung because you cant handwrite cause youre a noob

>>140476480
i have gray hair on my balls and ive been doing anki since i was a baby

What is the most difficult thing you expect someone with 教育漢字, the Core2k, and tae kim grammar down to be able to read?

I imagine it's time to actually start doing things besides anki everyday, especially with summer starting.

>>140476453
There's a reason why "native" and "fluent" are different categories when you're filling something out and there's a reason why most foreigners who study in the US, for example, do better than the natives on English exams.
While foreigners actually study the language, natives' knowledge of their own language is merely intuitive.

>>140476599
YOu don't need that just watch animated cartoons and you will be able to watch them without subs in that period, 1k kanji is useless.

>>140476453
just fyi, being a native doesn't imply being any good at the language

there are millions of nignogs who can't speak standard english at all in my country

You're seriously gonna be that pedantic? C'mon. It should be clear what I was going for, and it wasn't proficiency at exams.

Was trying to make it through a Satsukoi route today. I made it to the end of an hour long sex scene and then less than 20 lines later, another one started. My body can't handle this, I have to take a break. I might just skip it and read it later.

>>140476738

Maybe you should try some authentic Japanese and then make a post about it?

>>140476738

It's like you're not even trying to learn Japanese.

>>140477495
You should fap only to standardized Japanese, not the shit the use in eroge and call that Japanese.

RTK is objectively the best way to learn writing.

>>140478414
Is that anime title? If it's not I'm pretty sure it's a shitty way to learn anything.

>>140478832

Of course, if you don't have any particular reason to need handwriting, like most people, it's useless.

>>140482205
Thanks for the mood boost, I needed it.

Hello /DJT/!
I'm close to finishing up with Genki 1 and was hoping some of you here could help me understand んです better, because it hasn't clicked for me like the rest of the grammar so far.
For instance, Genki describes one of the uses of ～んです as a mode of explaining things, yet i cannot see how it differs from ～から or any reason to use ～んです over ～から, since to me it seems like they both have basically the same purpose.
Also, I am having trouble understanding ～んですか. It seems to have the exact same use and wording as question word + か sentences.
The only use that somewhat makes sense to me is using ～んです to provide additional commentary to someone else's statement as i cannot off the top of my head think of any other specific grammatical way to do that yet.
Does ～んです have an english equivalent or equivalents? If so, what are they?
Thanks in advance!

>>140482305
I think I might just do that I'm in the mood lol
I'll go produce some 精液 too.
>>140482334

>>140482395
Dude this is the thing you just don't worry about because it answers itself when you start reading. Right now, concern yourself with knowing what things mean. If you don't know what a sentence means because it uses んです that's a problem. But you don't really need to be able to use it yourself (yet). Japanese has a lot of small things that don't significantly change the meaning of a sentence but slightly affect the tone. 　Sentence enders like よ/わ are another big things like this

>>140482655
ie, totemo bikurishita daze
anime imeeji wo tsukauna = totemo daijobu
>>140482668
I can't read subhuman-speak ごめなさい。

>>140482736
honestly the more you call particles particles and sentence enders sentence enders the more people start to see them as not real words and that sets them back literally decades in their understanding

>>140482792
just sound it out dude you can do it

>>140482736
Well, I was hoping that by gaining a deeper understanding of what ～んです actually functions as I would be able to gain a slightly deeper understanding of the language as a whole which I believe would help my studies a lot.

While I admit I may not be the brightest I did say I have only gone up to chapter 12 of Genki 1, and I don't remember any の and ん correlation discussion. If you could maybe point me to a specific chapter it would help immensely.

>>140483332

>>140483794
Because it's full of ESLs.

>>140483794
DJT hates any place that has people who can actually speak japanese

So, I've been reading up on how to learn Japanese.

Am I right to assume that I should learn following these steps: 1) Hiragana 2)Katakana 3)grind them until I will be able to read them at any point at any time 4)learn basic grammar with Tae Kim 5)learn common Kanji symbols 6)hone points 1, 2 and 5 by reading in Japanese.

>>140484004
can they actually speak japanese on reddit i havent been there maybe that was my home all along

>>140484016
>learn common Kanji symbols
Skip that and replace it with vocabulary.

>>140484065
skip that and learn how to ask questions

>>140484016
I recommend you learn all the way to advanced grammar before seriously reading anything longer than manga, you'll parse things much better

>>140484065
If you want to have great language skills just like he does then yeah, skip that and just do vocab.

I am currently studying Genki 2, as I will be going to japan in October to study for a year at a language school. Due to not having enough time to take all the semesters at school, I decided to self study genki 1 over the summer and took the placement test after about 2 months (along with a tutor), and was able to get into the 3rd semester class. I've finished my third semester, and due to not enough enrollment for the 4th I've had to go back to self study.
I got an A in the class, but I couldn't help notice my vocabulary is severely lacking, so I went the route of using memrise. I just started it, but I like it a lot. So my question is, since the deck I am using has whole sections dedicated to the kanji of all the vocab (not just the ones at the end of each section) Should I be doing these sections as well? Mainly because I don't know if these are essential kanji, or if there are other kanji that would be better to study instead, and I don't have a lot of time to get it all down before I go.

>>140484176
i dont feel like dragging my eyes all the way across the screen to read this but im sure if youre doing genki youll be fine in japan (not sarcasm)

>>140484232

I don't know I feel like I was Japanese in my previous life even when I look at a map of Japan it feels like the places are familiar and I always had a connection to this great nation. Now I'm learning their language and I plan on becoming a Japanese person once more.

I can read most things, however when I try to read fast I just skim the words and not understand that well, i have to slow down and pretty much analyse stuff to get it 100%. Any idea on how to read stuff fast but understand as well?

It's just a large group of people who all started posting on the same date, and have the same posting style, the same temperament, and the same memes.

I hate what "art theory" shit has done to everything.

I mean, I might just have a very different eye for that than your average person (maybe it's autism who knows) and pretty much every time I've ever made something that I think looks amazing everyone else says it looks like shit.

But still, I really like stuff better when it's designed by people who don't know anything. It's usually more colorful and more interesting.
Whenever you get some pro to design stuff it all just looks bland and generic.
Basically it's the difference between web 2.0 and web 1.0. I fucking hate how websites look these days.

I actually thought that Sakura OP image looked cool when it was first posted, before the whole thread started sperging out.

See, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and I'm not sure that I want to.

Why would I want to make the world a more boring place for myself? I probably enjoy more things as "artistic" than people who know a ton of art theory do.
So why should I suffer in a narrow range or artistic expression because the "art pros" have decided that that's what's "good" and that no other combinations of colors and placement of design elements is acceptable

Because I still don't get it.
Or are you just trying to call me jamal?

But really if people want to mess with the OP a little why not just stick anime sprites on the current OP I doubt anyone would really complain. I don't get the obsession with changing the whole design

>>140490522
>I don't get the obsession with changing the whole design
I'm not sure anyone actually is.

I think it's more of a "why CAN'T I change it?" than a "I want to change it".

>>140490476
theres design principles employed in every element theres a difference trust me

Jamal/china is the nickname of the poster who refuses to type in proper English and often posts Japanese hip-hop music. He is one of the two current most infamous DJT posters, the other being Sakura autist. The difference between them being that Sakura autist is actively trying to kill DJT out of resentment through various methods, while Jamal, although his posts aren't very good, are ultimately fairly harmless and well-intentioned.

Does it make sense to start with Tae Kim and Remembering the Kanji at the same time or do I start with Kanji first and after I have some down I start with Tae Kim?

Actually it worked out fine when it was done in the past. The image with riko from love lab and some other girl was used several times. The Sakura image changed the whole design, so that isn't an example.

>>140491152
The second one is like the phrase "he's a man's man"

男 sounds a bit harsh/abrupt, saying 男の人 softens it up a bit if you aren't so familiar with the person you're speaking to, it's more polite.

i mean yeah its 1 of those ナンパっぽい phrases dude

>>140493062
You know Japan is basically a de facto American territory, right? Everyone there is required to learn English by law. You'll be fine.

>>140493129
Oh you're that shitposter.

>>140493062
why do you have to go to japan while not having a grip on your eating drinking pissing pooping housing situation

>>140493167
I feel like arranging those things before you leave defeats the whole purpose of going there in the first place. If I book a hotel from my home country, then it's like I never even left, isn't it? To really know the place I need to drop into the streets with nothing but the clothes on my back and find my way like a Japanese person would.

Whatever happened to that collection of manga?　I've been gone for a few months due to health.

>>140493235
well rest assured everything is in english so its literally impossible for you to fuck up if you have some money

Are there any good Anki decks for sexual terminology? I feel like this part of my education is sorely lacking so far.

Where will I ever find these characters?

>>140493026
>just y?
y

>>140493481
They're not used anymore, so I'd expect either really old shit or maybe stuff that's trying really hard to emulate an archaic style.

>>140493062
>would that be enough time

no

I thought they were useless and I would never see them. Then pic related happened.

reminder to do your reps if you haven't already

Is it wortth learning japanese if I don't like anime?

>>140493524
But in what kind of context? As particles? Conjugations? Words?

>>140493550
Damn. What is its function in both sentences?

>>140493635
I'm not really a big fan of anime/manga either, but I like learning languages as a hobby. Japanese just happened to be the chosen one this time.
If you feel the same way, I suggest you go for it. It's really a very distinct and interesting language, from a westerner's perspective

>>140493641
>But in what kind of context? As particles? Conjugations? Words?

it doesn't matter you will literally never see it, you should be focused on learning real japanese first.

>>140493635
No, since all of the best study material is related to manga/anime/VNs. Why do you need to learn it? For most of us it is the main reason.

>>140493635
>Is it wortth learning japanese if I don't like anime?

its not worth it to learn any language if you don't plan on doing anything with it

>>140493635
If you can't tolerate reading VNs or reading manga or reading LNs you'll have a really hard time getting proficient
You could still just go to Japan and become fluent but illiterate tho
and then read real novels after 5 years of that

>>140493635
>>140493735
Fucking liars.

>>140493844
wut

>>140493641
Like the Nintendo ゐい

>>140493641
They are pronounced like い and え now

>>140493635
read a book nigger

>>140494029
What is a "book nigger"? Is that kind of like a book? Where can I find one?

>>140493641
>>140493870
ゐーなーを吸うことも同じの感じでね

>>140494029
hey cool it with the racial slurs dude

How do you say 'hella' in Japanese?

>>140494177
めっちゃ next question

>penpal asks why you're learning Japanese
What the fuck does one say?

>>140494357
why wouldnt i be

>>140494357
Just say you're learning it in hopes of getting laid, like a normal person

>>140494357
just say you're interested in 日本 you don't need some grand reason, and admitting that you're only learning it for ｃａｒｔｏｏｎｓ is something that must never be done.

>>140493641
>Damn. What is its function in both sentences?
>both sentences
You know, this is really not the kind of question you should be asking at the "can't even properly recognise kana" level.
