Sounds like a chore
Why don't you just stick with reading until you can confortably read Jsubs without pausing and looking dictionaries as much?

>>142228424
because it's really not much different from reading in general and because this is also the kind of content I want to consume right now

another reason is because looking up words is not a problem since I'm parsing through with rikaisama and exporting new vocabulary I encounter to anki

it may sound a little tedious, but I get a little bit of everything this way

I think it's a very balanced way to learn and as I stick with it, it will get much easier and quicker.

The new vocab I continue to come across after all this time amazes me

ichinichi nihonjin ni naritai

I have a stupid question, I hope someone will help my stupid ass to understand.

Okay so ございました is the past, but I'm pretty sure I heard someone saying おはよう　ございました　or ありがとう　ございました

That wouldn't make any sense right?
A hotel employee said something like that in the morning.

I didn't know any Japanese back then, other than what anime taught me at least, so I assumed it was just more polite than　ございます　I learned that it is actually the past form a day ago.

>>142231144

「煙草」と名付けられた女子を会ったことある。その父が農夫だと思う。

>>142232057
It doesn't seem like it makes much sense in those forms, because they're more or less just set expressions, but if you see what they're based off of it makes more sense

For example ありがとう is from 有り難い, which just means "grateful", so more literally ありがとうございました just means "I was grateful (that you just did whatever for me (and I'm now expressing that gratitude))"

I don't think Japanese past form necessarily has connotations of "the past" either, it just indicates that something has happened, so it might sound weirder if you think of it from a more English idea that it was in the past, rather than the Japanese idea that it's simply been done

>>142231351
>after all this time
if that's new to you I doubt this was very long

>>142232430
Probably at least 2 and a half years of solid reading by now

I'd imagine what words you encounter depends a lot more on what you happen to read rather than the amount of time spent doing so, like I'm sure there are plenty of words you haven't seen that other people happaned to encounter early on

>>142228424
Have to agree with this guy unfortunately

>>142230326

>it'll chug along and freeze every time I hit show answer for 5+ seconds

た isn't past, it's telic,

Is there a version of Tae Kim's guide in full romanji? If it's aimed for beginners it's really retarded that he uses kanas, let alone kanjis. Practically the only people who can use the guide like this are people who quit learning after a few years and learning kanas, and then restarted from zero.

>>142232668
Tae Kim tells you to learn the kana before reading the rest of the guide. Why do you want to do things out of order?

>>142232741
He's shitposting

>>142232532
So why are you amazed?

>>142232741
It makes zero sense to start grinding boring shit for weeks before you're at least intermediate level. Makes me want to just quit learning the language. You're supposed to grab the learner's attention with something interesting first.

It's like saying that you should read a dictionary cover to cover before starting to learn English grammar.

>>142232778
>It's like saying that you should read a dictionary cover to cover before starting to learn English grammar.
No, it's like telling someone to learn the alphabet before learning the rest of a language, which I'm sure is how you also learned your own language when you started academically studying it in school.

>Makes me want to just quit learning the language. You're supposed to grab the learner's attention with something interesting first.
Tae Kim doesn't profit from having users of his guide keep going/quitting early on, giving you motivation is not his goal. If the efficient way to learn Japanese is too tedious for you then you're in bad luck. You'll have a hard time finding guides tailored to people that get bored quick.

>>142232755
Well not quite.

Are there any other parallel reading books like Read Real Japanese where a Japanese text is picked apart and explained in English line by line?
This is a very useful method for teaching reading natural text, but it seems there's an awful lack of such materials in Japanese.

>>142232668
>>142232778
There is a book I could recommend you that you can even use if you don't know shit, but you are acting like a scumbag so get fucked you little pussy.

Also you can't learn Japanese faggot.

It takes literally less than a week to learn the kana, if you're too much of a lazy faggot to do that what's the point of trying to learn the grammar structures and shit Tae Kim would start teaching you.

>>142232668
All your questions and more is answered in Tae Kim's grammar guide's introduction, friend.

>>142233037
Why are you so mad though?

>>142232640
No, it's preterite.

>>142233133
Maybe not everyone is a NEET who can study 16 hours a day and learn them all in a week, anon. It's a fairly big time investment for doing something extremely boring, language learning should start out with something interesting, like short stories in romanji which introduces you to basic grammar.

90% of the time spent learning Japanese is grinding kanji and vocab, if you can't even learn 60 incredibly simple characters that only represent sounds then you're not going to have a great time with the rest of the language

>>142233274
If the teacher/writer of a guide has even the slightest amount of competence, he can make learning fun and rewarding.
Telling you to "okay, spend the next two weeks grinding these characters and come back" means that a law should be created that forbids that person from ever giving advice or trying to teach others, since it will just ruin the enthusiasm of beginners and make them quit.
It's sad that the "guide" of such an incompetent teacher should be in our resources list.

>>142233383
youre losing control dude, reel it back in before the fish stop biting

Not sure why these guys are sperging out over kana. The /djt/ "kana wall" strategy is unnecessarily strict.

You can learn kana and grammar in parallel. Try a textbook. Many of them interleave kana study with other stuff so that students can start speaking Japanese from day 1.

>>142233607
There is nothing wrong with romanji. It's equivalent (even superior) to kana when used for writing a language, and the difference between the two is merely a stylistic choice.
Now, kanji is different since each character also carries a meaning, but kana carries no extra information, so romanji is a perfectly fine replacement for kana-only text.

>>142233749
google romanji

>>142233536
>Believe me Romans will sabotage your future.
as ancient as we consider the romans, they in turn considered the egyptians

think about that useless bit of information as you realize the romans have done you in again

>>142233650
>The /djt/ "kana wall" strategy is unnecessarily strict.
Yes, for literal retards.
Chinese characters are really helpful and needed when you want to read Japanese. Being afraid of too much effort and therefore not daring to start reading normal Japanese sentences is something very stupid and to be avoided unless you're one of those people who don't mind learning Japanese for four years until they start being literate.
So either you suck it up and learn at least the two baby scripts or you can't learn Japanese.

>>142233749
>There is nothing wrong with romanji. It's equivalent (even superior) to kana when used for writing a language, and the difference between the two is merely a stylistic choice.
How many Japanese sentences are written in "romanji" excluding gaijin learning material? Now how many Japanese sentences are written in kana?
What script accompanies the Chinese characters?

>>142233919
>excluding gaijin learning material?
But anon, this is exactly where it should be used. Yet some dumb shits are writing gaijin beginner's guides with kanji.

>>142233958
Tae Kim if for people that know kana and a few kanji and want to get started on grammar.

If you want to start learning grammar, a few words and hiragana side by side, use this.

It will fuck you over in the end though, enjoy.

>>142233958
Why? So that the lazy beginners won't need to get off their asses?
Waiting to learn the syllabic alphabet serves literally no purpose except comforting to a stupid mindset that gets you nowhere.
You'll eventually have to learn it or give up from the beginning and stop wasting time.

Do you need to practise reading an alphabet you grew up with or do you need to practice an alphabet you haven't read before but want to read comfortably in the least amount of time (to actually be able to read native stuff)?

I'm so fucking stupid /djt/, I fucked up big time and now have to put twice the effort into my studies this week at least.

I was using the anki deck from the start up guide (2k6k) until around 600 cards, then added the yotsubato deck so I can start reading soon and learned both.
Someday I decided to only review the 2k6k vocab deck and concentrate on learning more cards from the yostubato deck.

Well and now after 3 weeks I noticed that I don't fucking remember half the cards from the yotsubato deck and that my reviews are kinda low.

>tfw my reviews were capped at 25
No wonder I couldn't remember them cause I never reviewd half the cards fuck.

God I have to relearn most of them now kill me.

I don't know if this is really that relevant but, does anyone else feel far too content with their life because of Japanese?

I'm a neet at the moment, and I know I should be getting a job and doing all that disgusting normie shit, but I just feel so content spending all my time learning Japanese, I have absolutely no drive to go out and be a part of society, or even to spend time with friends on weekends, because I'd just much rather be at home reading

I don't know if I should be happy that I've got something that I enjoy doing so much, or pissed that it's made the outside world even less appealing to me than it already was

Is there a version of Genki in full romanji? If it's aimed for beginners it's really retarded that it uses kanas, let alone kanjis. Practically the only people who can use the book like this are people who quit learning after a few years and learning kanas, and then restarted from zero.

>>142234364
Get off your high horse mate. No one is going out of their way to shit on beginners doing things the slow way. This argument started because one of "these people" entered the "deep water" and then whined how that way of learning doesn't work for him.

Loaded analogies don't make you right.

NEETs often start to get disgusted with themselves since they do nothing, but learning Japanese kind of feels like doing something meaningful, it requires a lot of effort and it's also rewarding, so it can fill the void of not having a job. At least this is how it feels.

>>142234810
It's pretty bad really, I feel like I had my chance to find something to get obsessed over, and instead of that thing being a job that provides me with a living, I ending up choosing to put several years into learning how to read incredibly niche porn

I can understand your feelings, learning Japanese consumes a lot of your time and you can learn faster by putting more time and effort into it, to the point that there is not much time left for other things.

I have a job, go to the gym every 2 days and do my anki reps, that barely leaves me any time for other things, this includes reading my grammar books I bought.
Fuck.

Thought about going to work by bike and stop going to gym to save time.

Symptoms of someone who isn't already bilingual. Bilinguals know that phonetic utterances are only placeholders for concepts so they put more weight on learning reading. Having only one lexicon makes you give too much importance in the link between sense and reference.

Look up the "sense and reference" page on wiki, maybe it will help in clearing this misguided way in which monolinguals think.

Ritalin is the safest effective stimulant for people who do not need it. It has the lowest half-life and you develop a tolerance to its euphoria faster than adderall, crystal meth, and ecstacy's. Ritalin's half-life is much shorter than other amphetamine-family stimulants, which means that you can use the downtime between dosages for eating and vegging, contrary to its high effects which include loss of appetite and difficulty meditating.

>>142238703
Should have just ground real kana and grabbed and anki deck of kana. I tried remembering the kana, dropped it on the second day when I felt I wasn't going anywhere. Looked up the tofugu kana guide and was done around 4 hours later.

Kana's not hard unless you make it hard.

Yeah, I'm liking it a lot. I almost didn't pick it up because there have been tons of these "trapped in a fantasy-RPG-style world" anime lately and so far I've ignored all of them except Overlord.

Same. I actually didn't pick it up until episode 3 aired and people were raving about it. Glad I did.

Is this a new form of shitposting?
>>142239839
Check out "Shit"? Is this really how they named the show?

>>142239839
>Check out KonoSuba if you haven't, it's also pretty damn great.
It's in my backlog. I skipped the season it aired in so I missed it. Figure I may as well wait for the BDs now.

>>142239914
>>Check out "Shit"? Is this really how they named the show?
Yes, it's the romanji name

>>142239614
I think it might just be the arc, but I could be wrong.

>>142239741
I might when the anime ends. However, I heard it was a great adaptation of a mediocre light novel. I was going to look into it some more, but I'm hesitant to pick up new media in English, and i'm not at a high enough level to read it raw.

>>142239950
What's the Japanese name?

>>142239983
>However, I heard it was a great adaptation of a mediocre light novel.
I wonder how they can say that a still running anime is a great adaption. At least wait until it's over.
I think it depends on what version you read. I've read a little bit of the VN and am reading the WN at the moment and it's pretty obvious that it was written by an amateur but it is still very entertaining (if you like what you've already seen in the anime, they follow it closely until now but have to cut a lot thoughts out of course). You're better off asking the faggots in the threads who've read more than me and probably know more about the differences between WN/VN. I just saw an OP once, I don't follow the threads.

Well no shit. Kanji are logograms. Learning that square means mouth is like learning that the Nike swoosh is supposed to convey motion; if you see it on a building, you'll know that it probably has something to do with motion, but you won't know that it literally means 'Nike store.'

I managed to get the 2nd one to run using compatibility mode, but is there any way to fix the first one? I think usually the problem is caused by installing without having your region set to Japan, but since there is no installation, I can't think of a way to fix it.

If you are having trouble finding a torrent for a VN, try searching for the name of the company that made it. Sometimes there will be a torrent with all the VNs from one company.

Importance of adding writing to your learning schedule is a hotly debated topic on /djt/. The most common conclusion seems to be that learning writing is useful if you are the type of learner that remembers through action or if you plan on handwriting things yourself (as in planning to live in Japan)
Different methods work for different people. I suggest giving it a try to see if you're one of those people. Neither learning with writing nor ignoring writing is widespread enough to be considered the norm.

I think all of the text is encoded wrong, so I don't think that is the problem. My 2nd download works fine after switching to compatibility mode and has the correct text.

>And I've only got around 1k vocab, but have talked with japanese people pretty much every day without fail, on the phone too. How high are my chances?

ESL here, if by 30-40 marks you mean getting 30-40 questions right then you'll have a hard time failing with how many questions there. Just picking randomly on every question gives you a good chance.

Not him, but I can do around 80% of the C part, didn't look at the other ones. Would that be good enough?

>>142248842
If you're between 17-22, and you studied maths, you'd be going to japan to do your undergrad.
(Social sciences: Math,English, Jap exams)
(Science: harder math, english, jap, physics, chem exams)
Google MEXT scholarship if you're interested.

Damn 80% is godlike, like 95th percentile of the exams.

>>142248958
Sadly I'm already too old for Monbukagakusho's scholarship.

>>142248771
I did hover over it with Rikaisama and nothing came up, so I assumed it was a name or something. It should have been obvious, but I guess I wasn't thinking.

>>142249026
You can still apply for the other 3, free ticket + monthly stipend is a really good deal.

>>142248788
>tfw have the right answers but cant even tell why theyre right
just kill me now senpai

>>142249026
Also, you choose either A,B or C.
Say I choose A, how would you recommend preparing for the grammar and maybe writing part? A skim through the first DOJG?
My grammar is basically: Whatever sounds more natural, only what I learned from natives.

>>142248788
Are these just the solutions for one of the difficulty levels?

>>142249524
It's for all three.

>>142248820

>multiple choice test, wherein you guess at complete random because you don't know shit
>assume 30 questions with 4 answers each
>assume that you need to get 70% correct in order to pass
>30 * 0.7 = 21 (number of questions that you absolutely need to get correct in order to pass)
>(0.25)^21
>0.00000000002% chance of passing
>good chances

Rather than spending money to take that test, you should probably use it to buy yourself a few lottery tickets. You'd stand a better chance of winning, and become an instant millionaire if you did.

やった！

>be told the goal are 30 - 40 marks but make up new numbers for your calculation anyway
>dont include the part where some questions give 2 points
>put up a wrong formula
That's three strikes, you're out man

>>142249986
I was worried about that formula but I didn't want to point it out in case I was wrong since my mind is currently simmering.

How do you know what reading of 家 to use?

>>142250048
ie when talking about a random house, uchi when it's someone's home.

>>142249903
おめでとう！

頑張りましたね

>>142249903
Tell me your secrets senpai

>>142250048
By watching more anime.
いえ - any house.
うち/んち - my or your house in real casual conversation.
け when it refers to household, like Tanaka's family = 田中家

>>142250169
You just have to keep doing your reps every day.

>>142249903

冗談、おめでとう先輩

>>142250011
Basically, hitting 0.25 % 21 times in a row is different from hitting 0.25 % 21 out of 30 times, but anon doesn't need 70 % so that's irrelevant I guess.

I don't know how to do a proper calculation with the varying points per question either, but ignoring the kanji questions we've got 85 points you can get out of multiple choice questions, so unless you're unlucky as heck picking randomly alone should give you like 21 points for free. If you know the answers to just 5 questions and pick the rest randomly you're looking at a decent 50 % ish chance on getting those 30 points I think?

>>142249766
Your math is completely wrong, you just calculated the chances of giving 21 good answers in a row, completely ignoring the total number of questions (ie. your math assumes that there are 21 questions and you need to get 100% on them).

And か - 作家、作曲家 etc.

>>142250315
Pretty sure we weren't talking about composite words, because then you'd have to mention shit like 公家
