Pick up some manga series

Don't allow yourself to become demoralised friend

Here's a tip that will perhaps help you

Based on my experiences at least, and I've been doing this for probably 4 years now, every time you start anything new it it always feels like it's way too hard

Everything I've ever picked up and tried to read, I always think "why is this so fucking hard", no matter how easy it may be

The trick is you just have to stick to it, even if it feels like it's way above your level, you stick to it, and then you stick to it some more, and before you realise it you're looking back and laughing at how hard your past self found it

So maybe just try and stick to yotsuba instead of just assuming it's too hard and giving up, and you may see that you're not as bad as you thought
>>
>>141619750

I've been running a kanjidamage kanji deck because I find it a little easier to learn through similar radicals even if the shit they teach you at first is mostly useless garbage, but I've been noticing that even after so long I haven't even made it past half of their "1700" kanji.

I have my new cards at 20 from the default 10, but I noticed these include both read and write cards so technically I'm only doing 10 new kanji per day.

Should I increase my new cards to 30-40? My usual anki session has me review a measly 100 cards per day (read+write so its actually just 50 kanji) and so far I feel comfortable with it

However I've also noticed that learning the kanji Aline isn't being very helpful at actually reading stuff since I don't know any jukugo.

>raw rice is called kome 米, while cooked rice is gohan ご飯

>今日も美味しいお米が炊けたわ
>>
>>141620241
But when does 米 turn into ご飯? Is it possible to define a point in time during cooking when this transformation occurs? Is this even well defined?
If you put the lid on the pot so you can't see what's inside, can we say that the material exists in both the states of 米 and ご飯 until you take off the lid and look inside, kind of like Schrödinger's Cat in quantum mechanics?
>>
>>141620414
When you serve it.

>>141620087
I tend to think learning to produce when you're a beginner is not an especially efficient use of your time and usually just make it harder on you. My advice would be to delete the production card type and only do the recognition cards.

You can increase the amount to any number you're comfortable with really, the main question would be whether you're comfortable with the amount of reviews it'll equate to and whether you can keep up an acceptable retention rate. In any case you can always change the number of cards you're doing if it doesn't feel right.

So if you turn off production cards and do 20-30 new kanji a day or something you'd be able to finish up the 1700 kanji in about 2-3 months.

>However I've also noticed that learning the kanji Aline isn't being very helpful at actually reading stuff since I don't know any jukugo.
Yeah so I think most (?) people here agree that learning kanji by themselves isn't necessarily the best way to go about it unless you have trouble remembering or differentiating the kanji. Learning words straight up will bootstrap you into reading much faster, since knowing the kanji by itself doesn't necessarily allow you to read any word containing it. So if you weren't feeling the kanji deck you could just drop it altogether and do 20-30 vocabulary words a day (using recognition cards). Then you could hit ~2k words in 2-3 months, and be in a good position to consume native material earlier.
>>
>>141620087
>>141620528
Oh, and when it comes to getting yourself burned out, the important thing is just to be aware of whether it's feeling like too much and whether you're starting to skip days. You can do any amount of cards a day you want but it just needs to be an amount that you can do every day without fail.

There just tend to be a lot of people who dive in and commit to a very large number of new cards, and then talk themselves out of doing fewer cards even though they're starting to skip days and their reviews are getting out of hand.

>>141620604

I haven't deleted the production cards because I've somehow convinced myself that manually writing down the kanji will help me identify it easier later on.

I tried doing some vocab but found it super hard and frustrating trying to learn words without knowing the kanji in it, like xxx歳 without knowing that's the kanji for age / years old or 貯金 without knowing that's save up + money = savings. I decided doing kanji first and vocab after I finish but I'm getting very discouraged at how long this is taking while not really seeing any results.

 猖獗極まる侵寇の 波涛の呑まれて隊伍散る
 戦火の汀に立たされた 人の子たちの負け戦
 翼の泊まる空の下 堅牢堅固も過去の栄誉か 終焉迫る城塞都市

 聖なる騎士さえ堂に入り 円蓋の下 神よと祈った
 宮廷道化は楼閣のぼり 蝋の翼で飛ばんと嘯く
 陰に潜んだスラムの王は 武器を鎧って空を睨んだ
 暗き洞棲む妖術使いは 闇を纏って機を待った……

ほら、空ってどこにでも繋がってるよね
どこへ逃げたって、敵はその白い翼でどこまでも追っかけてくるんだ。
だから翼のない彼らは、どこにも繋がってない空を求めていた。

I'm currently spending most of my time on reps and importing everything I read with rikaisama. I assume it turns out that way after I've started exhausting basic vocabulary?

There is a word list for the first volume which will (hopefully) help you when you inevitably get confused by a colloquialism or unknown grammar construct. Make sure you've read or at least skimmed an entire grammar guide/book, reference it frequently. Don't make the mistake of getting caught in the timewasting trap of grinding contextless vocabulary, and don't get caught in the meme of learning kanji on their own, because that's almost completely useless information to have hence that person's experience with Yotsubato you talk about. Tae Kim discusses this on his blog in more depth.

You'll need to look up some of the words but yeah, Yotsuba should be fine.
Though interestingly enough I studied kanji for a while and it actually did help me a good amount reading the manga. There's a lot more stuff you can guess from context if you know what the symbols mean. Didn't even have to look up 洗濯機 or 地球温暖化 for example, despite basically never hearing the terms before.

Just started learning 2 days ago, currently on the 4th column of Hiragana with about 80% confidence on the 39 words I've learnt so far from
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfBMDNkJuI

I plan on learning a new column every day adding the hiragana and words to my anki deck and sticking with it until about 95% confidence with words written in hiragana then moving on to katakana and repeat then kanji using the deck from the guide.

Is this going to fast or slow? and would it be more efficent to learn kanji while I'm learning hiragana/katakana or would it get confusing?

Go at your own pace. What works for you, works for you. However, I think you can crank out kana in two days. Just flash card that shit for a few hours until those symbols are comitted to muscle memory.
But again, what works for you works for you.
>>
>>141628604
Yeah, you're definitely not wrong. I think grinding anki is a good way to build a base of vocab, but it definitely won't teach me how to actually use the language.

I've been using pimsleur and it's actually been really useful to get me running on how to comprehend and speak Japanese. I'm kind of surprised I've never heard it mentioned around here before.

I finished pimsleur forever ago - it's decent if you have the free time, but you'll get angry once you realize how little you know.

DJT has nothing to recommend except listening to seiyuu radio shows for listening practice once you finish it though, since most people don't care about speaking. It's frustrating how few oral communication practice resources there are for the language past the basics.

You may think that this is a joke but anything that's spoken japanese is basically equally good as long as the rate of speech and grammar level is high enough. Guess what? This includes some anime.
>>
>>141633382
There should be plenty of ways to find a language learning chat partner over the internet, though. And those are the best practice resource, since oral communication more or less requires you to talk to another person. If there's no one on the other side of the conversation then you're just screwing around.

>>141633665
You're totally right - it's just that going the self-taught route means you miss a lot of the fundamental basics; even if my vocabulary level is high, I rather be a NEET and shadow everyday conversational sentences to build up the confidence first. I don't think it's wrong to point out that those resources are lacking, compared to all the rest for learning Japanese available.

>>141633594
Listening practice is just recognition, it's the active, productive oral communication part I'm talking about.

for like 80% of your media consumption it legitimately does not matter what you're consuming as long as it's not literally meant for toddlers

all that's necessary is causing your brain to generate the necessary neural connections for information to be transmitted from japanese material subconsciously instead of by consciously wrangling it

unless you plan on reading classical japanese or legal documents you actually have to try really hard to fuck up and pick material that will not teach you everything you need to know

now there is a 20% of the time when you do have to be legitimately pushing your boundaries but that's time you should either be spending reading japanese-language japanese grammar books or doing flashcards, not consuming medoa

oh, you're one of those people who overestimate their language ability

you know how there are ESLs that speak in extremely broken english yet go on to translate things from english into their nature language? that's you, but with japanese

you literally just have not acquired enough of the japanese language to speak it fluently

at best you just need to practice putting the sounds out of your mouth, but this is clearly not the case if you think that practicing talking to yourself will help, and ~science~ has proven that speech training won't do any better for you than reading if you need it

J->E is a lot easier than E->J. Do you know how many Chinese there are who can pass N2, yet can't speak a word of Japanese? I live in the part of Tokyo that's obnoxiously foreign, it's all too common.

Similarly, it's why Japanese people suck at speaking - lack of actual practice, while only able to understand the written word.

I'm actually jealous of people who are only illiterate, because (I assume) learning the language is so much simpler when you're just having to attach symbols to the language you already know. I would say basic conversational Japanese ranks higher in importance than N2 reading comprehension.

>Similarly, it's why Japanese people suck at speaking - lack of actual practice, while only able to understand the written word.
every japanese person who I've seen (note: I didn't say "known personally" there) that was actually bad at speaking has actually not even known english well enough to know that -ing isn't a "present continuous" marker

>I'm actually jealous of people who are only illiterate, because (I assume) learning the language is so much simpler when you're just having to attach symbols to the language you already know.
learning how to read is simpler when you already know the language, wow, you're so profound

It just depends what your goals are and where you are?

Yeah obviously if you're in Japan and need Japanese RIGHT NOW then any speaking ability is worth more than any reading ability

But in the long term, especially if you aren't in Japan, having vocab and grammar down is more important since it is the foundation for everything else.

Also, "good enough to do amateur manga translations" means nothing. Anyone with kanjitomo can translate manga. Doing it without mistakes or doing it well is another thing, but just doing it doesn't say much about your level

Bullshit. Classes usually have a strong focus on speaking and someone speaking for a few years is going to be able to speak better than someone who hasn't spoken at all.

>No. It's a different ability that needs specific practice in order to improve it.
you got a citation on that? what you're saying basically amounts to the same thing as "you can learn how to drive without knowing how to keep track of moving objects"

sure you might be able to pass a test if you cheat in the right ways but no you haven't actually "learned how to drive"

that's what N2s amount to

>Classes usually have a strong focus on speaking and someone speaking for a few years is going to be able to speak better than someone who hasn't spoken at all.

classes have a strong focus on speaking and it is for this very reason that they fail to spend enough time imparting actual japanese on their students. someone who doesn't know more than half of tae kim of grammar will not be able to hold a conversation until they spend weeks newly learning lots of rules that they never knew before, while someone who can literally already read will need to spend at most a day or two getting to grips with the pace and music of conversation

you're the delusional one who refuses to use their brain

Have you ever taken a language class? Someone who takes private lessons from a tutor for a couple years is going to be great at speaking, sure, but a group class is probably the worst possible setting to put yourself in if you're aiming to learn anything about a language. Even a shut-in who picked up most of his grammar from anime will probably be in a better position than a student whose only experience came primarily from listening to his equally inexperienced peers stumble over textbook sentences.

Depends on whether you've done RTK or not. 20 is the limit for most people who haven't. I've heard it said a lot of times though that there is practically no limit on the amount of new cards you can do if you know the kanji.

Being familiar with the kanji is no doubt helpful but the anon still has to remember both reading and meaning. If they were familiar with the reading or the meanings, only then would it really be fair to say there is practically no limit.

Unless they've worked through RTK2, I guess. That would probably be a huge advantage.

>>141637821

>>141637851
Kanji readings are something you can pick up super easily after learning a couple words and they are best left out of rote memorization.
Knowing the meanings does help in memorizing vocab quite a lot, though, and also definitely helps readings stick way better. I can attest to that.
>>
>>141637851
You get at least one meaning for the kanji from doing RTK. As for RTK2, that book seems pretty pointless to me. It seems like a much better idea to just learn the readings by learning vocab.

You don't seem to be aware there's a million dollar industry set up around eikaiwa's simply because people can't SPEAK just because they can read.

They're two separate skills. Anyone with a background in teaching could tell you this, but you want to convince yourself you know more Japanese than you actually do, so whatever.

the different components of language are not black boxes with perfect isolation from eachother

you literally cannot comprehend spoken language without having an acquired grammar and vocabulary

you literally cannot speak until you /surpass/ acquiring the comprehension level necessary to generate what you need to speak

and guess what? it literally happens on its own. when you actually know the language, *the speaking ability is there*. it's literally impossible for a neurotypical person to learn a human language without ending up being able to converse in it at a basic level (read: conversational fluency), even if they never actually practice speaking that language, accent being whatever it ends up being, minutes derusting being if they be.

the fact that you (or the person you're pretending to be) pulled out amateur manga translations speaks wonders about your incorrect assessment of your own skill level, and your blatant misunderstanding of reality only makes it worse. you do not need conversation practice, you need to read more, and frankly, you need to stop pretending your inability to speak doesn't stem from not knowing the language. if you can't speak, you don't know japanese. the goes every single last idiot who "can read" that gets scammed into conversation schools.

if you cannot generate sensible english/japanese, you are not fluent. if you are not fluent, you cannot understand unpredictable text. if you cannot understand unpredictable text, you are not literate. if you are not literate, you cannot actually read in the language, only a predictable subset of it. if someone can use the language in their field of discipline at work, but can't talk to people over lunch, then they don't actually know the language, they know a business/academic jargon subset that is much more predictable.

generating sensible english/japanese is not a result of practicing speaking, it is a direct result of having actually acquired the language. if you have acquired the language, and you cannot speak, then the only possible barriers to speech are vocal incompetence, anxiety, and brain damage. if you do not have vocal incompetence, anxiety, or brain damage, and you cannot speak, then you do not actually know the language. I'm sorry, but this is just how it is. when people think they know a language, but cannot speak it even when they try and they don't have any unique issues preventing them from doing so, *they do not actually know the language*.

No, it's retarded translations made by people with no understanding of the language taking things literally. What should be a very simple statement like "I couldn't kill him even if I tried" or "Even with wounds that would kill any normal man, he won't die" becomes gibberish like "He wouldn't die if I killed him".

The whole "people die if they are killed" line is literally just Shirou explaining common fucking sense when confronted with magical bullshit. People should stay dead, you shouldn't be able to get up after having half your head blown off, basic concepts intrinsic to life.

Hey /a/, I have something to ask. So atm I'm learning intermediate Japanese but it seems I've encountered some problems. One of them is reading. Sometimes I have trouble parsing/analyzing the sentence structure and have to re-read many times, thus consumes more time. For example today it took me >10 mins to read two pages of japanese text in the book 日本語上級読解 (ACL Press) (not sure the text should be called 中文 or 長文) and still couldn't fully understand every sentence. I haven't read much reading textbooks but I think I can't take N2 test as I am now.
Second is vocab. I've reached 5k words in core deck and 1k in mined deck but this is taking longer and longer to finish everyday, as words get harder and I have to look up J-J dic often. I want to fully understand every word I learn, but this is just taking too much time.
any advice, /a/?
>>
>>141641676
It's a set phrase which is incorrectly translated, possibly on purpose sometimes for its meme value.
>>
>>141642364
stop focusing on textbooks & anki and just read fun material
>>
>>141641735
Because I don't have them.

But I've searched for a similar line in LOGH, where Poplan says:

Ivan Konev no yarou nanka... [korosaretemo shiranai yatsu da] to omo... I can't keep up, it's spoken pretty quickly, but I guess the part in brackets is enough to figure it out.

イヴァンコネヴのやろう何か、「殺されても知らないやつだ」と思。。。

I would record the audio, but my audio board can't be used as a recording device, even with updated drivers. If anyone has episode 74, check around 13:20 for it.
>>
>>141642397
Oh, it's not shiranai, it's shinanai, as >>141641967 said.
I'll look into this stock phrase.
>>
>>141642364
If you're at 6k words, you're nowhere near N2 level.

Read and practice more. You need to improve your reading speed, vocab, and just get more reading experience. You're on the right track, and probably it would be a good time to start reading something outside textbooks, like a VN or something if you haven't started yet.

Yes and no. You've been doing easy words that you probably heard in animu already, so words will get harder and more abstract. On the other hand you're getting practice with kanji, so that part will get easier.

I wonder if I can make it for the test in July. And about outside material, I'm reading 夏目漱石's こころ (though not much). There are sentences I can't understand, but overall I can still quite enjoy the book. I also tried reading Oyasumi punpun but sometimes the casual Japanese just kills me. Ofc I would like to read more, but time is still a problem, as I said above. If only I could somehow find a way to reduce the time needed to do anki without losing the quality of "word understanding".

Don't believe anons!

Core2k is the hardest part, because it comprises about 1000 kanjis in 2000 words (2:1 proportion).
Core 6k adds 500~600 kanjis in 4000 words. (between 6:1 and 8:1)
Core 10k adds the remaining 600 for the joyo kanji group with another 4000 words.

So, after you're past the Core2k, kanji learning is way more sparse, although you have to be prepared for the ever-growing number of card reviews.

It will never happen as long as you're adding cards.
With 80-85% success rate, your daily reps will always be about 10 times your new cards per day, unless you fuck with intervals.

>>
>>141644532
I didn't really take note of the time because the test is full screen all the way but I think it should be around 30-60 minutes depending on how good or bad you are. Listening comprehension is the one that takes up the most time because the options to the multiple choice questions are given as part of the recording taking up and extra minute per question.

Thanks, anon. So it never gets past daily ~200?

I used to press the "Easy" button all the time when I got the answer, so I'm still undergoing a process of relearning some prematurely matured cards. In two months of re-addressing the way I mark cards, my daily reviews rocketed from 90 to 150, so I was worried it would never stop and I'd be making 400 reviews a day by the end of it.

Man, I just had my worst skype lesson ever. We started on chapter 3 in tobira where the first exercise is teaching you to use popjisyo.com, which is basically the same as rikai-kun for chrome. Except the site we chose had the text in an image, so the text couldn't be parsed and he had me look up each word I didn't know in my dictionary.

I felt retarded as fuck because it took forever for a few sentences and I was so preoccupied with looking up definitions that I didn't actually pay attention to the reading that I didn't get the information I needed out of it. Then he suggested that tobira may be too hard for me, even though I already went through the rest of chapter 3 on my own in advance and didn't find it hard.

Here is your daily listening practice video DJT!

>>141648367
50% is pretty bad

You might not think 20 new cards a day is too much, but your stats seem to think otherwise

Maybe it'll naturally get better if you just leave it, but it might be a better idea to adjust your strategy

You could do radical or kanji study for mnemonics, you could write down vocab, read or create sentences that use said vocab, etc

If you're a beginner it could just be because you're unfamiliar with the language though and you shouldn't worry about it too much unless it doesn't seem to get better

If I were to start a deck focused on vocabulary pronunciations, do you think it's better to put the kanji on the front and guess the kana, or put the kana on the front and guess the meaning?

Only the kanji should be on the front, just guess both

Wew. If you like Utena enough to have it in your 3x3 you should watch it and form your own opinion. Personally, I like it more.

Sure, that's just the impression I have not my opinion.
I had enough trouble understanding Utena even with subs. I bet Kuma would be a nightmare to comprehend all the complexities in Japanese. See, here I go, using fear of Japanese to avoid anime.

Method 1: read the guide and choose your own path

Method 2: Read Tae Kim, start core2k, download Yotsubato from the CoR and the Yotsubato reading pack from the guide and read that

practice kanji, practice grammar, practice syntax, read the guide.

Honestly stay away from VNs till you have a good grasp of basic sentence structure and a good grasp of vocab.

>>141652637
You will need to at least read a grammar guide first.

Optional but highly recommended - also do RTK and/or Core2K
