I'm nine months into my studies, and I still haven't bothered to learn any kana. My plan is to OCR any text with my smartphone and turn it into Romaji. So far, I've gotten farther than all of my peers who are wasting time memorizing squiggly symbols.

Why is everyone here doing things the hard way in 2016? It seems like a waste of time.

>>141958971
Oh, also, you'll want to edit the keymap since the default keymap assumes you're using a Japanese keyboard which has special keys for switching between character types and such. Look through the keymap for "Hiragana" and "Katakana" and rebind all the "Hiragana" and "Katakana" keys to a new key combination of your choosing (I use CTRL+1 for Hiragana and CTRL+2 for Katakana). There are other special keys which you can rebind if you want, but I couldn't be bothered so I didn't.

To switch between Mozc and your native keyboard, just press SUPER+SPACE.

Well damn, time really flies when you have an actual goal to work forward to instead of masturbating and contemplating suicide all day every day.
Didn't even think I'll get that far back then, but thanks to helpful advice from my DJT senpais I stuck with it and progressed a lot, read a bunch of cool shit and had fun learning for a whole year.

What methods did you use, 先輩?

>>141959462
As opposed to free government?

How are you guys getting correct 80+%? I usually have 75-80% until I add in the new cards for the day, but then those weigh me down to around 60-75% correct, occasionally even 50% if I have had a difficult day.

>>141959849
They have a better memory than you do

>>141959745
Tae kim in the first month, after that nothing but anki and reading.
In anki I have a vocab deck with core6k + mined words and a DoJG deck.

>>141959462
>The west also has "free" services.
Name one which asks for all that sort of personal information for an Internet connection.

>>141959849
According to statistics, the rate of your correct answers in anki is closely related to your IQ with a baseline 80% good at 100 IQ, increasing by 1% for every 3 points of IQ above 100. Anything below 80% means you're probably too dumb to learn Japanese.

You aren't forced to give that away in order to create an account, ergo it is an irrelevant point of contention if if Facebook was remotely relevant in this context. Signing up for Facebook isn't a legally binding contract.

If you click on your deck and select "custom study", there's an option to review the cards you've failed that day. Do that a few hours before you go to bed.

>Slightly above Earth's average which includes African tribesmen, good job anon.
African average is borderline retarded. Average in Western countries is ~100.

>>141960228
No anon, average of humanity is 100.

>>141960208
Well, I read a wikipedia page on radicals once and look up new kanji in a dictionary as I encounter them, if that counts.

>>141960274
Isn't it the average of people to take the test? I really doubt African tribesman are standing around taking IQ tests. In any case, IQ isn't meant to be correlated with education so even if anon was equivalent to an African tribesman that wouldn't mean much.

>>141960340
It has nothing to do with education, blacks naturally have 20-30 points less IQ.

>>141960373
It's time to go back to /pol/, friend.

So if it doesn't depend on education but it's a measure of innate abilities, then I'm sure there is a very magical reason for this.

どうして害黒人が動物以下の精神薄弱な下等生物かな。

>>141959236
what vn?

>>141960528
99.1 isn't that bad of an average.

>>141960479
Well yeah, IQ is far more closely supported by evidence to be predetermined by genetics, education is really a matter of whether or not the right environment for those genes to activate/be taken advantage of. There have been some pretty interesting studies on putting different kids from different groups and raising them in various environments with different education and the results more or less conform to global averages. Some people are just naturally "smarter" than others just like how native Kenyans always seem to be the best long distance runners and how the NBA is mostly tall African Americans.

The problem is that you get people who treat evolution as something that only occurs from the neck down and refuse to accept any evidence to the contrary, be it due to political retardation, like /pol/tards or tumbrinas or for other issues such as a fear of so called "biological determinism". Anyway, that's all I will comment on this, my post was really too off topic as it was.

My internet is fucked lads. It's been getting worse and worse for a while, but it's at the point now where I have to choose between downloading things and being able to browse the internet.

I might be changing ISP or something soon to try to get this shit sorted out. While I do that though, I will probably be without internet for 2-4 weeks.

What can I do to study during that time? Is there anything that I should download while I'm still able to?

>>141963399
try swapping routers, installing a central line splitter
or even get some fixed wireless if they offer good enough plans
by fixed i mean fucking contented properly, not an overloaded mobile tower

FUCK I forgot to do my reps.

>>141963399
Download everything you plan to read. Sync with Ankiweb before going offline just in case something happens. Download an offline dictionary if you don't have one. Download some old DJT threads from the archive so you can read through them and feel like you're still with us. Good luck.

>>141963399
>1Mbit/sec
Nigga that's about 4 times more than the speed I download obscure Japanese shit off baidu.
Just keep that torrent running during the night and you can download whatever you want.

>>141963526
I don't think it's worth forking out the money for a third-party router considering that even when my connection was at its best I was getting a sub-500kB/s download speed. I've heard that my ISP is hostile to third-party routers anyway so it might not even work if I get one.

As for a central line splitter, I think I already have one, assuming you're talking about an ADSL splitter.

>>141963643
The figure in that image is misleading. If I actually download at that speed, I cannot browse web pages at all (hence the "F" score for bufferbloat. Downloading at anything more than 0.4mb/s renders my connection unusable, and even at 0.4mb/s browsing is slow as fuck.

I can't write for shit, should I be worried about this

Learning to write kana/kanji is so helpful for reading anything that isn't typed. The real shape of most characters is different from how they appear on the screen.

Just finished my first VN (only one route). It actually helped me a lot with my reading spead and comprehension. Also vocabulary.

What I didn't like is that there were like 8 sex scenes just in the second half of the game. Are all Visual Novels like that? because it got really boring, I even skipped the last one.

>>141968821

That's a pretty bad translation.

It is very good, yes.

Most handwriting recognition systems are very good now, but there are still exceptions.

I had been using an older Sharp Brain 電子辞書 for a while and Ioved the thing, particularly because the character recognition was amazing; I could almost think a kanji at it and it would the correct result. The backlight died about a year ago, so I decided to replace it with another Brain, this time the latest and greatest.

This was an error.

They must have completely change the algorithm because even when I write a character in perfectly, I mean worthy-of-a-calligraphy-exhibition perfect, it usually fails. Even worse, the candidate characters it produces don't even have a stroke count anywhere near the character I actually wrote.

Example: 鬱 will produce 子小卜亅厶 as candidates.

Very disappointing.

Sumi's route is glorious. The story is intelligent and detailed, built heavily into Japanese ancient folklore. The romance feels natural and smooth, like the natural development of two close friends who've been together since birth. I was dubious about the flashback scene at first, but it was especially amazingly done, providing so much depth to the characters and setting. It explores the boundaries between humans and not, about how love can overcome all else. And the ending is one of the most beautiful, heart-wrenchingly powerful things ever written.

>>141969042

You finished a route then, not a VN. Go read the rest of them.

At what point do you elect to choose "again" for a card instead of "hard"? For example, if it takes me a decent 10 seconds to recall the full definition + pronounciation of a card, should I select hard or again?

>>141967642
Yeah, EOPs in this thread are clueless about it.

Especially Alice's route is superficial at best, for example you learn more about Alice's parents in the other routes than in her base route. And in her after nothing happens, just Gokaiso-chan being super cute makes it bearable. But then you have to go to a short H scene for her story to have any sort of meaningful end.

Natsuha's normal is okay, but her after is again pretty superficial, especially after Tooru and Natsuha leave Monobeno.

Half his complaints boil down to either blaming Anki for not giving him the motivation he needs to study or blaming Anki for not being an all inclusive package.

Just give up on Japanese.

How long do you guys give yourself to answer a card in Anki?

>>141978145
5 seconds tops, if it looks familiar and I feel that I'm about to remember the answer.
If I feel that I forgot the card completely, I press again after 3 seconds.

>>141978145
If I come across a word that looks familiar but I can't quite remember it I just close the deck and reopen it, and usually the next time it comes up the answer will just pop into my head, it seems a lot more effective than just staring at the card for a minute trying to force the answer out

Is that reviews only or new cards as well?

>>141978145
Maybe about 10 seconds.

>>141978672
30 new cards included.
I always mix them into the reviews instead of doing them before or after the reviews, because this way you don't know if the next card coming up is a new card or old one.

Thanks to this, I often mis-recognize a new card as a similar looking old card, and then I instantly know that there is an interference and find the radical that differentiates them. I highly recommend doing the same instead of learning new cards at the end like a lot of people do.

>>141978672

>because this way you don't know if the next card coming up is a new card or old one.

That's not the king, dude. The first 10 minutes of the game is meta as all fuck, then the kid gets sucked into the TV and the actual game world. I had no problem with the intro, because it's intentionally written like a children's game.

You're not going to perfectly memorise it. Tae Kim's guide is an introduction to the language - just the basics to get you started. That's it.

You learn grammar by reading stuff and looking up what you don't understand. You could look it up in Tae Kim's guide, but it would be better to look it up in the DoJG.

Oh, well, the real deal looks pretty simple as well.
The only really archaic thing I saw the guy say is actually using the god damn ぞい

So I should just make sure I have the general gist of something before moving on to the next section, and refer back to it if I forgot what something means?

Have you guys started using kanji passwords for everything for added security?

>>141980764
Most sites don't allow that, for good reason, even in Japan. Kanji passwords would just invite shoulder surfing since you would have to select the proper kanji each time and they can't hide the password as you enter it like they normally do.

that's pretty fucking weeby

I played a few minutes of the part where you are playing the game, and it's totally a parody. I actually laughed at the backstory intro where they show increasingly larger texts full of kanji, you aren't supposed to follow that of course.

The part after the beginning, when you get sucked into the game, drops the trope-y RPG dialogue and starts using kanji (I know that just cause I watched a vid to check if it was all kana for the whole game or it had kanji later on, didn't play farther than the town after you speak to the king since it was obviously not at my level).

So back to the point, I've done 2 months of Core 6k, I can read some things, tried playing Metal Max 4 and DQVII, but I have to look up half the kanji and words every time.
I'm getting impatient to start reading actual stuff that isn't random sentences in the internet, though it feels good when I realize I can understand those with just 2 months of Anki.

Just copypaste it from the file where you have your password saved, nerd.

sounds like a great idea, until you need to use a device where you cant input japanese characters...or character encodings screw things up even when you're entering the right characters

>>141980458
Well, you should make sure that you understand it, but don't expect to memorise it.
