Friendly Reminder

How to tell if something is a shitpost:
>calls the community made guide/whatever method a piece of shit with no reasoning given why
>insults someone giving helpful advice with no reasoning given why
>attempts to create arguments over virtually nothing (eg opinions without facts)
>"spam questions" that are easily answered via a 1 second glance at the guide
>uses obtuse Japanese fragments interspersed with English to attempt bypass people trying to filter the shitposts
>any mention of anime being shit, or claiming that X isn't "real Japanese"
>spells the word as romaji

Anyone can make it if they put the effort in!

You're not born with willpower anymore than weight lifters somehow pop out of their mothers already jacked up with massive muscles on their tiny little bodies. You develop willpower by forcing yourself to do something even when you don't feel like doing it. That's all it is!

There are 20+ DJT images floating around, and you decided to use a plain image that doesn't say DJT anywhere on it. You fucked up.

>>141769715
Requesting that for next time, to kindly put DJT somewhere on the OP image. It helps in finding the thread when quickly scanning the catalogue images.

There's no need for specific DJT pictures. The OP says everything that needs to be said - "DJT" and "Read the guide before asking questions" - and the specific DJT images just cause autism.

>>141770030
If you're using 4chan X, which you should be, just open up the settings, go to the Filter tab, then select "Subject" from the drop down list and put this in there:
/djt/i;highlight;

Now you never need to search for the thread again. Or if you don't want to do that, a simple CTRL+F for DJT will find the thread quicker than manually looking through the catalog. The 4chan X catalog has a search field and I'd imagine the default catalog does too, so you could even just use that.

Is there something like the beginner VN lists but for LNs?

Does anybody else take breaks from new cards when your retention turns absolute garbage? From the last three days of new cards I've remembered 20/60. Should I just deal with it and keep going or will just doing reviews for a few days be okay?

>>141770380
The threads on /int/ seem to get by just fine with no specific picture.

Really, with the amount of shitposting lately, the less things people have to get autistic about the better.

Would I be right in assuming that most people quit moon at the beginning? I went through the entirety of kanjidamage and my mining deck just hit 2k vocab, is there still any "major" obstacle ahead that could make me quit? Or is it just a case of slow and steady vocab grinding from now on?

>>141771068
Learning nip is an exponential process. The better you get, the faster you learn.

However the first months are the worst.
You are forcing sguiggily lines and gibberish in your head to understand a whole new way of communicating, but theres a "ceiling" you come to that you push and push and you eventually break, then its like a whole new world.

I know that sounds really gay, but you'll know when you get there. Dont think about what might cause you to quit. Assume its nothing.

>>141771068
The worst part is over, but you're still in for the intermediate hell.
That is, when you get to the point where you read 3-4 easier VNs, LNs, manga series or whatever, but you still can't easily read anything harder than that, and feels that even though you've been reading for a year you still meet several unknown words in every sentence.

I've just started with the anki cards, and I have the RTk and core decks setup. Will the rtk deck start showing the reverse side, I.e. train recognition instead of recall, or should I depend on the core vocab deck for that? Also, is there any deck someone can recommend that has definitions written in Japanese?

So I fucked around with the Reading List in the interest of giving it some semblance of organisation, but I think it looks pretty fucking awful. I'm not the maintainer, but I figured people might be more encouraged to use it and contribute to it if it were a bit better organised, so I experimented with colouring in the format and difficulty fields to that end, but as I said, I think it looks like shit.

Please go take a look and give your thoughts (you'll need to select the dynamic list to see the changes). If the general opinion is that it's awful, then it's easy enough for me to undo it.

The other option is manually re-arranging all the fields. There are two ways this could be done:
1. By difficulty, THEN format. Everything rated "easy" would be at the very top, and everything within the easy section would be sorted by format.
2. By format, THEN difficulty. VNs, for instance, might all be at the top, then all the entries in the VN section would be sorted by difficulty. The next section might then be manga.

This is obviously a lot more effort so I decided to try the colouring approach first.

>>141775713
Becoming intermediate at Japanese lies somewhere on the road towards becoming fluent at Japanese, but as everyone knows that is impossible. That road doesn't exist. Therefore becoming intermediate, too, is impossible.

>>141776035
Oh yeah, and I meant to say...

Please give your preference between these two options.

いつか > someday
フラっと > in the manner of wandering
どっかに行っちゃっても > even if I went somewhere
知らない > I wouldn't know

Because even if I wandered off somewhere someday I wouldn't know (about it/something/anything)

The だから adds a "because" or "since" kind of meaning. In Japanese だから・から is used in reverse order from english, so it's added to the end of the phrase instead of the beginning of the one it relates to.

A liberal translation might be something like "Don't blame me if I end up wandering off at some point..."

The verb 知る doesn't mean "know" when used like it is in this example. It's like they're saying "I'm not going to stick around and find out what happens to you if..."

what does it say

警察は、島袋さんが行方不明になった場所の近くを車で通ったというアメリカ人の男から話を聞いていました。この男が「動かなくなった女性を捨てた」と言った場所を調べると、島袋さんが見つかったため、警察は男を逮捕しました。

Let me get this straight:
>Police asked story from american guy passing in car by disappearance scene
>Said guy tells where he dumped body, check place find body
>detain guy

Why would the guy just say he dumped a unmoving body after being asked

>>141785113
Some people turn themselves in because they can't bear facing their demons anymore. Or he just thought that they have evidence against him and hoped to get a few years off for cooperating.

>>141785047
This >>141784238 was correct. "Don't say I didn't warn you if I end up just suddenly leaving, okay?"

>>141785231

You didn't goof. He dumped her body, he told them where, they arrested him.

To give a brief summary.

>some people didn't like the original image
>tried to create a new standard one which resulted in a ton of infighting
>other people who weren't especially attached to the original image but also didn't like the new one took the opportunity to experiment with new OP images
>with this, the infighting died down as people came to realise that it doesn't really matter what the OP image is

And now we're at this thread there the OP image doesn't even have "DJT" on it and instead just uses a character associated with DJT.

You're more likely to find a more reliable source of raws from the Chinese, as they do a lot of the scanning and uploading from within Japan, which are then grabbed by mainlanders, etc. to be scanlated into Chinese.

Not him, but chinese scanlators often work in groups on tieba.baidu. You'd have to find the one working on the series you like and ask them for raws. Sometimes they'll have folders on pan.baidu where they'll release the japanese raws at the same time as the scanlations.

Do you think this is an okay result after a year of non-serious studying? Like a decent amount of the time I barely read proper texts and I skipped a whole lot of anki and only have like 3k words learnt in it.

I talked to people a whole lot and watched heaps of subbed anime though...

>>141776035
Difficulty then format (option 1) makes more sense for how the list is likely to be used.

People might decide they aren't going to read a given format or a given thing, but they are sorting by difficulty first. I don't think as many people decide they are going to read exactly 1 format as their first concern. So option 2 would force more scrolling around between sections where only a minority of things are of interest for most people.

>>141794458
Yeah, it looks like jraw does a good job of linking to where they keep them. You just have to deal with a smattering of chinese.

Well, sometimes. Other times they won't share at all. It really depends on the group.

>>141795101
Isn't that the same as asking english scanlator groups then?

>>141795204
A lot of English scanlator groups don't source their own raws and the rest of them are even less likely to share than the Chinese, as there are far less English scanlator groups active and they protect their e-peen like rabbit dogs.

>>141795389
A lot of them will give it to you if you say you want to translate it. It's a trick that often works more than once because scanlators are also very lazy.

It's a typographical error you over-sensitive tool. Let me guess, you're part of one of the few scanlator groups who guard their sources and get involved in bitching with other groups who do a better job than you? All you retards are the same: amateur tryhards who have managed to over inflate your worth due to the people who actually know Japanese don't usually desire to scanlate and gain no ego boost from doing it for free.

Retention down to 60% from the usual 80%. I haven't been sleeping enough the last few days and it is making Anki feel really hard.

Where does that even place him on the knowledge of Japanese? He clearly knows how to speak it, so would that make him half-fluent or something? Also, I hate to ask but is romaji even acceptable if you just want to learn how to speak the language, not read or write it?

I don't even know how he managed to do this.

>>141799053
You can be able to speak a language fluently and even on a native level while being unable to read or write. While uncommon these days, it wasn't rare at all in the after WWII era. Hell, my grandma is like that, although she has learned to read somewhat semi-decently over the many years.

>>141799053
Grow up or be around people that speak it. I too can speak a third language that I cannot write.

>He clearly knows how to speak it,

>>141799053
It's called being illiterate. You wouldn't call it half-fluent, just fluent and illiterate. Romaji is obviously pretty useless either way, since nothing important or interesting has ever been written in romaji.

Sometimes I'd read a lot and sometimes I wouldn't read at all for a while, but I talked with a lot of people on hellotalk and stuff. Also a lot of subbed anime.

I don't know but I found grammar one of the easier parts and vocabulary the hardest but yeah, that's pretty much what I did. I dabbled in the language a bit before the year but it was just learning hiragana and maybe like the start of tae kim I'm not sure

I'm going to try learning the kana again this weekend, how helpful would writing them over and over be for memorization as opposed to grinding realkana flashcards? Grinding realkana is what I did last year and I'm not sure if the way I tried to memorize them was bad or if it was because after I memorized them I never really took it farther and ending up starting to forget them six months down the line because i wasn't using that knowledge for anything

>>141802420
>and ending up starting to forget them six months down the line because i wasn't using that knowledge for anything
that was your problem, not realkana

i used it and i dont have any problems with kana, unless it was the ヲ i saw the other day

>>141802420
Stop overthinking it dude. Just learn all the kana in 3 days max, realkana is good.

I used this first, then used realkana to drill them
https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

>>141802420
Kana is really not a big deal at all, just grind them as hard as you can. There's only a hundred or so. Writing them helps of course, so does realkana.
This is in the context of learning Japanese though, because if you do go down that path, then it's pretty much inevitable that you will know the kana and your method doesn't really matter there. You should get exposed to them often enough (and read them) so that the knowledge stays fixed in your brain.

I find ヌ to be the most elusive
I saw it for the first time in months like a week ago and had to take a full minute to figure out what it was. I can't think of any words off the top of my head that even use it

Thank you for saving my life, DJT. If it weren't for this thread I'd be just another college dropout NEET autist crying about his shitty life, but instead I'm living a semi-normal existence in Japan where everyone treats me like a genius for knowing Japanese when in reality it was just my anki grinding and autistic lust for porn that allowed me to achieve this. Thank you, and to all of you out there, keep on grinding, it will pay off one day.

welcome to /djt/ thats all we do

At the start you'll notice similarities between different kana, or hiragana specifically in your example. Figuring out a way that helps you remember them easily will be helpful. For example, I remember back when I started, め and ぬ as you'll notice are very similar so I recalled them as a pair of the well-known word "menu". Small shit like that will help you through the initial stages.

In either case, learning the kana should be very quick especially if you expose yourself to text since the start and not leave them for months.

How can a dropout NEET live in Japan? How did you get there and what do you do now?

Just an update: the files have been up for a short while now. Feel free to download and enjoy if you haven't already. I'd upload more requested content but the connection doesn't really allow much more than what was just uploaded, unfortunately.

>"The foreigner in Japan, so long as he is not thought to a permanent immigrant, is treated very politely, but always as an outsider. If he speaks Japanese at all, no matter how badly, he is praised for this remarkable accomplishment, as though we were an idiot child who suddenly showed a streak of intelligence."

Sounds like heaven to a neet 引きこもり like me, people can keep their life stories to themselves.

You seriously buy into that act? Come on anon, think a little harder about it. How exactly does a Jap with fuck all English knowledge manage to find himself shitposting in these threads in such a high frequency? Anon certainly knows how to use the site properly, unlike most Japanese who find themselves lost here without knowledge of English.

I get that Japan is known for wearing their masks of politeness and not always having their prettiest faces on under the mask, but some people seem to take this as a confirmation that all their paranoias about people secretly hating them are automatically true.

Sounds like Ryan Boundless, the sad cunt video logger on youtube. I watched a few of his clips ages ago and he's basically Wojak incarnate. How people like that manage to get a following it beyond me. It's not like he is a funny failure or a human being you can at least laugh at. It just makes you feel like shit watching him. Like a version of Namasensei that instead took himself seriously.

Who gives a fuck what people in general think? People in general are apes and pigs. I'm sure you could find some more open-minded people who'd treat you like they would anyone else.

Besides, the way other people may or may not treat you is far from the worst thing about living in Japan. Their piracy laws make America look like a bastion of freedom. The only place I can think of that is anywhere near as bad is Germany where record companies and such (not your ISP!) can send letters to your house with fines if you get caught even once.

At least in Japan in the hospitality industry it is somewhat enforced. I'd rather be served by some prick who can't fucking stand me but at least does it in a professional manner. I swear the next time I go to buy takeaway and get served by some hung over arsehole who stands there and says "what do ya want" while looking like a tool, I'm going to snap. No sympathy for those kids/adults who work in hospitality but can't get the fundamentals right of being fucking hospitable. /rant
