So, no one answered my question. Is Tobira a good alternative after finishing Genki? I went to go a textbook route and I don't know what to do after I finish Genki.

>>141590518
You have a hole in your head if you're finding somewhere for 20% of the cards you're looking at to disappear to. Mature cards are cards you've seen enough times they should be ingrained in your memory. If you aren't getting damn near a hundred percent on those then you should abandon all dreams of learning Japanese or better, just kill yourself.
Or more seriously study kanji or something, 80% actually is pretty low.

That's not really what's meant by "real nigga" in this context. They're just using the word nigger to mean "man", but they use a race specific word because they assume they're speaking to other black people.

>>141592506
>How are japanese people so bad at rapping

I've thought about this so much, I think it's just because culturally they're still stuck in the era of like early rap where it was all about just talking and there was a lot less focus on flow

Could also just be because syllabary's are a bitch

>>141592464
How are they awful?

>>141592623

Where you at

So I've been learning grammar for a bit (yeah I know, beginner stuff, sorry) and the past negative tense of words seem to always end in なかった. That's not particularly a problem for learning, but I feel like I've never actually seen or heard this form through any media I've consumed in the past. Is it simply because I never knew of it or because that form just isn't used? It just sounds so clunky to say out loud as well (likely because I feel like I've never heard it).

>NHK easy has no translation, so I have no clue whether or not I'm reading it right
>Yotsuba requires me to actually type the definitions into Anki
How do I properly mine, /djt/?

>>141593185
It's used, people are just more likely to use ませんでした for politeness or a more vulgar past-negative for refusal.

>>141593248
If you are using the genki books, then the ませんでした form is learned first.
If you are using Tae Kim, then なかった is learned first. I don't know the order for any other books. I think both forms are pretty common though

like, motherfucker, you could have started a company and monetized it and streamlined it and even got your own apps made specifically for this scenario
instead, youre sitting here just spamming the same shitty guide with minimal effort and shit advice/shit banter between the same 4-5 samefags shitting up the place

i know if i had to do something 1542 times, i'd made damn sure i'd be done right and every flaw be fixed.

There's a good chance you can read Yotsubato if you pick a little bit of grammar and vocab up on the side.
At least I could after doing a big part out of a recall/recognition deck in anki. Most of what contributed to being able to read probably came from anime, though.

I started mining when I started Satsukoi, before that I completed the Nayr's 5k deck. Satsukoi took me 4 months to complete, I mined about 2400 words/phrases, but by the end I'd only gone through about 1200, so I still have a big backlog.

By the end I was reading faster because I learned a lot of the vocab that the author liked to use. Sex scenes were definitely faster by the end because I learned a bunch of anatomy vocab. I don't feel like my grammar improved much, but I'm going through the DOJG deck now so hopefully it gets better.

Nvm solved, the version was too old.

>>141599690
I read around 150 pages of manga and maybe half a wikipedia page worth of text. Not really brag worthy but my vocab is pretty limited.

Do you usually keep track of what you are reading like that? How does it compare to an average day of reading? How long have you been actively studying to reach that point?

Yeah like >>141599782 said I don't keep track, I just copied the text from a text hooker when I was done reading this time.

This took about an hour, I usually read 15 min to an hour a day. I've been studying for about 3-4 years

Go to your browser's add-ons page/window, open the preferences for Rikaisama, then click the "Clipboard & Save" tab.

There will be a field labelled "Saved audio". You need to point this to Anki's collections.media folder if you want audio to work.

Now go to the Anki tab. There are two important fields here: "Save format" and "Field names". In the "Save format" field, you need to tell Rikaisama what information you want it to save. Here is an example:
>$d$t$r$t$n$t[sound:$a]
The above tells Rikaisama to save the dictionary form of the word you've hovered over (this means conjugations will be stripped from it, so 食べます would be saved as 食べる), the reading (hiragana characters showing pronunciation of the word), the English definition of the word, and the audio clip (if one is available).

Now for the "Field names" field. You enter into here the names of the fields in your Anki deck separated by spaces like so:
>Vocab Reading Definition Audio
You need to make sure these fields exist in your Anki deck.

Two more things.
1. You must install the Rikaisama add-on for Anki.
2. You must have open the deck that you want to save the word to (see pic)

How is your language proficiency aside from reading? In those 3~4 years, have you also reached a point wherein you can have conversations in text and speaking with others in Japanese, etc.? I'm guessing your listening proficiency is pretty reasonable given the VNs(?)

I don't believe so, I had the same issue a while back.

The bug has been around for YEARS now (if you google around, a bug report from 2009 or so appears) so I don't think it'll be changed anytime soon. Japanese consumers just switch the OS to Japanese afterall, and even if they couldn't, the differences are obvious to them. It only really harms learners, it's a minor annoyance to the rest.

If you manage to find a way, report back, but I wouldn't look too hard honestly.

So how do you test if you phone produces the wrong kanji, what kanji are effected?

How do I get non-shit retention? I've been doing words for 6 days now (used to do 30 words per day, dropped down to 20 now) and I literally can't get above 40% retention. I've tried everything, writing words down, saying them out loud but nothing increases my retention (writing them down actually lowers it). My friend who started studying Japanese at the same time as me has 70% retention.

>>141606340
Have you done kanji study before that? (RTK, KD, etc). If not, you're also learning the kanji and shit retention is normal until you start getting used to them.
If you already know kanji, then you're doing something wrong.

RTK picks (usually) one of the more common meanings a kanji can have as its keyword. It's very common for kanji to mean multiple things among multiple words.

Think of it as a fuzzy cloud of meaning rather than a 1:1 relationship for kanji:meaning.

Pretty much. There's some words I've done wrong 10+ times (I counted). A lot of the time I either know how it's pronounced but not what it means, or more commonly I know what it means but not how it's pronounced.

>>141606490
It is very little but right now learning 20 new words a day takes me like 2 hours, and I really can't afford to spend 3+ hours a day on Japanese outside of weekends

安 itself carries a "relaxation" nuance, 安い is a new word (adjective) made from 安. The kanji that words are made of can have different degrees of similarity to the word's meaning, but generally it's best not to look for connections using the English language and just try to get a feel for them.

Since you only just started don't worry too much about retention. Keep faithfully pressing "again" when you don't remember a word until you do and you'll eventually pick up. Just don't pass a word on just because you kinda or almost remembered it or your retention will remain trash.

I would read up a little bit on how memory works if you haven't already, it might clear up some things:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacing_effect

Make sure your anki is set up properly, re-read through the anki guide (esp the part where you raise daily reviews to 9999 so none are being pushed back)

If all of the above doesn't help, perhaps try timeboxing / focusing techniques while studying? Pomodoro technique helped me a lot to not get burnt out.

Or simply just don't sweat it dude, maybe you'll climb the hill a little slower than someone else, in the end you'll reach the same destination.

>>141606660
You don't necessarily have to do it. And doing RTK is a half-year investment.
It will be considerably harder to learn vocab if you don't know kanji at all, but it's certainly doable.

I'd recommend looking up the 200 or so radicals at least, though, so you can have names for them for easier remembering.

>>141606472
Wait till you get to 着, you're in for a doozie.

Have you watched anime before starting to learn Japanese? If you haven't that might explain your below average recognition of Japanese sounds I guess? Below average as in compared to wee/a/boos. I know I had an easy time at the start because I recognized the majority of words' reading from hearing them in anime.

>>141606745
>And doing RTK is a half-year investment.
Bollocks, it's two months if you aren't slow as shit.

>>141606973
Not at his time limit of 2-3 hours a day.

>>141606729
So is my retention expected to increase as I get more familiar with Japanese? That's what I thought too, I just wanted to be sure I'm not learning incorrectly or something.

>>141606741
I'll check out those links shortly, thanks. My anki is set up properly, but thanks for the reminder. I'll read a big about these "timeboxing" and "pomodoro technique" things as well, thanks for bringing that up.

>>141606745
I'll look into radicals, thanks. Just straight up learning vocab and skipping kanji would be faster than first learning kanji and then vocab, right? I'm not really interested in hand-writing Japanese, so I don't need to know kanji for that.

>>141606859
I've seen a little over 600 hours of anime IIRC. Perhaps not a lot by /a/ standards, but it should be enough, right?

>>141607078
>So is my retention expected to increase as I get more familiar with Japanese?

Yes, definitely. You'll start recognizing repeatedly occurring symbols (radicals) and eventually you'll know what certain words mean just by knowing the kanji they're made of.

>>141606745
>And doing RTK is a half-year investment.
wot

It's a 3 month investment at 25 kanji a day.

>>141607348
That depends on how you do it.
When I did RTK I wrote out every kanji at least 20 times and once during reviews, so it took a lot of time.

>>141607393
>When I did RTK I wrote out every kanji at least 20 times
Well there's your problem. If you'd read the introduction to the book, you would've seen that Heisig explicitly tells you not to write the characters out tons of times.

>>141607393
>When I did RTK I wrote out every kanji at least 20 times
Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of RTK?

You should only have to write each Kanji once unless you're planning on becoming a writer.

>>141607448
Heisig was wrong several times in his instructions. He also said not to do recognition practice and do production only instead.

How do I unlearn Japanese?

I am moving to Germany soon and I don't want to be taken for a Nazi sympathizer.
I already passed N2 and barely missed N1, how long would it take me to forget Axis moon characters?

>>141607501
>He also said not to do recognition practice and do production only instead.
Why is that wrong?

>>141607511
Just do 2-3 hours of anki each day, it seems to be the safest way to never become good at Japanese.

I would like to understand the purpose of this thread.
