Somehow I finally found a thread that isn't 450 posts in. Too bad I'm not home and wont be able to do my reps until I get home.

山の中に、一人の赤鬼が住んでいました。赤鬼は、人間たちとも仲良くしたいと考えて、自分の家の前に、 「心のやさしい鬼のうちです。どなたでもおいでください。おいしいお菓子がございます。お茶も沸かしてございます。」
と書いた、立て札を立てました。

けれども、人間は疑って、誰一人遊びにきませんでした。赤鬼は悲しみ、信用してもらえないことをくやしがり、おしまいには腹を立てて、立て札を引き抜いてしまいました。そこへ、友達の青鬼が訪ねて来ました。青鬼は、わけを聞いて、赤鬼のために次のようなことを考えてやりました。

青鬼が人間の村へ出かけて大暴れをする。そこへ赤鬼が出てきて、青鬼をこらしめる。そうすれば、人間たちにも、赤鬼がやさしい鬼だということがわかるだろう、と言うのでした。しかし、それでは青鬼にすまない、としぶる赤鬼を、青鬼は、無理やり引っ張って、村へ出かけて行きました。

計画は成功して、村の人たちは、安心して赤鬼のところへ遊びにくるようになりました。毎日、毎日、村から山へ、三人、五人と連れ立って、出かけて来ました。こうして、赤鬼には人間の友達ができました。赤鬼は、とても喜びました。しかし、日がたつにつれて、気になってくることがありました。それは、あの日から訪ねて来なくなった、青鬼のことでした。

ある日、赤鬼は、青鬼の家を訪ねてみました。青鬼の家は、戸が、かたく、しまっていました。ふと、気がつくと、戸のわきには、貼り紙がしてありました。そして、それに、何か、字が書かれていました。

>>143270369
About a month in, ~130 mature cards in. I've been taking it slow to improve retention, I was at 5 new cards a day a few weeks ago, barely got up to 15 yesterday. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be back up to 20 again, but right now I want to get my retention to 80% (70% right now).

>>143271106
「赤鬼くん、人間たちと仲良くして、楽しく暮らしてください。もし、ぼくが、このまま君と付き合っていると、君も悪い鬼だと思われるかもしれません。それで、ぼくは、旅に出るけれども、いつまでも君を忘れません。さようなら、体を大事にしてください。どこまでも君の友達、青鬼。」

赤鬼は、だまって、それを読みました。二度も三度も読みました。戸に手をかけて顔を押し付け、しくしくと、なみだを流して泣きました。

>>143271106
>山の中に、一人の赤鬼が住んでいました。赤鬼

Yeah I watched re: zero too

>>143271081
Is it just ナンバー?

I get the feeling it's just ナンバー.

>>143271204
Nah, most people call it シャープ.
Official name is 井桁

>>143271143
I had the same problem when I started. You will realize after some time that your progress is super slow. I tried after some time to increase my new cards and you get used to it pretty fast. Retention will go down but on the long run you will get a higher retention. Try 40 new cards and increase the intervalls. Otherwise you will learn forever

>>143271297
well, in the context of something like #0624

i'm thinking you would read it ナンバー ゼロ ろく に よん

>>143270825
シャープ or 井桁
>switch IME to japanese
>shift 3
>press space to get to kanji henkan menu
>IME tells you pronunciations

>type きごう
>look through the massive list for the symbol you are interested in
>ime tells you how it is pronounced

although it may give slightly less common names for some things, like アステリスク for ＊ when people might just call it こめ

You can also literally just type ＃　井桁

>>143271321
I just feel that would lead to burnout. I don't mind learning forever, I'm still learning new English even if I've known it since I was a toddler.

面白い..finally something interesting to practice with, thanks

>>143271415
what about the one on a phone

what's that one called

>>143271106
>>143271147
Not really the most original story

>>143271379
Why would it be ナンバー anyway I would read that as "pound" in english

>>143271321
>increase the intervalls
SERIOUSLY DON'T DO THIS SHIT
I increased my intervals back when I started out and it fucked me over in a long run. Don't fucking rush cards to maturity.


>>143271379
In that context Japanese would read it as シャープ or シャープボタン when speaking about phone number.

>>143271437
Do you actually think Japanese people give a shit about the difference between ＃# and bother to distinguish them?

>>143271379
Yes it'd probably be number.

>>143271457
So if you get first place in a race, i.e. #1, you're "pound one"? No wonder you ended up leaving the EU.

>>143271416
You will probably be frustrated that you can't read nor speak after 3 months of learning and then stop like most beginners. Even if you would burn out you could still decrease your new cards. You should just try more at the beginning to see how it works out. At the beginning everything about the language is new but if you just jump in then you can probably draw some connections
>>143271479
>Don't fucking rush cards to maturity.
Oh sorry I meant steps not intervalls
Thanks for pointing it out

This story was bland as fuck. Read momotarou instead, at least that story has some monkey rape in it

>>143271484
those are literally the same and that's not what I'm asking

in english the phone button is always called pound but can be read as "number" in a context like lucky dragon #5

anyway i saw it in the context of some phone buttons so it's probably シャープ

>>143273598
yeah kanji is a pain

do you know gook? if you do then you at least might have an easier time with grammar, or so i hear

>>143273729
it's a similar system with putting wa/ga/de/mo/etc in the middle, etc

however the Korean ~ga is ~de in Japanese so it's confusing as fuck when you use it

>>143273817
i heard that about the letters too

in korean apparently the little components determine all of the sounds but in japanese haha no one gives a fuck に and こ are completely different

at least kanji have predictable pronunciations somewhat often though

Are there any LNs for adults? Like, not teenie bopper drama... but actual storytelling?

Or do you just have to go straight up novels for good reading?

When ever I try translating, I usually end up trying to use direct translations which is a problem.

Maybe I need to study grammar more, but how do you usually do it?

>>143275721
why are you translating in the first place?

you usually do it by determining the best way to carry over the meaning and nuance of a sentence in english and then writing that down

requires more english skill than japanese really

>>143275705
>LN for adults
>LN literally means targeted towards teenagers

That's the same as asking for shonen targeted towards adults.

Try Hakomari though, it's genuinely well-written if my opinions are worth a damn.

>>143275957

This is what I figured, honestly.

And I will try it, thanks anon.

>>143276074
Oh and also, if you want to read Hakomari, the first volume might bore you a bit. It really reads like your typical generic fiction at first, but I feel it picks up later on. The first volume still manages to keep you interested in the end though, so I don't think you'll hate it.

We use some imperial units still in the UK. It's a total mess. We were supposed to switch over to the metric system, but for some reason just seemingly gave up on it half way through its adoption. As a result, I get confused by imperial measurements which have been switched to metric measurements here, and I get confused by metric measurements which are still imperial measurements here.

I feel the pain of both Europeans and Americans at the same time.

Japanese is such a uphill struggle, I was getting somewhere with it when I was in school but then I forgot everything, so I started lessons again a few years back and re-learnt it all but then I forgot it again and now I want it back but....
I just can't retain it!

Pretty sure monitors and TVs are in inches everywhere. The standard sizes are all flat numbers in inches (for the most part) while in metric they would need decimals

Does certain Anki vocab trigger some unrelated mental impressions for anyone else? Like whenever I get the card 優雅 I automatically visualize CSGO's T spawn on Dust 2 and I have no idea why, I stopped playing before I even started studying Japanese.

What's the best OCR?

>>143294511
The best ocr is not using an ocr

I have a love/hate relationship with Anki. Whenever I see a new card, I beat myself up over not remembering it instantly and so I see it many times and feel like shit when I have that "I've seen the card a lot but I still can't tell what it is."

Then I remember it instantly the next day and it fills me with joy, but there are new cards, oh so many new cards. I know it's not a race and it's normal etc. etc., but I'm way too competitive for my own good.

I guess they are pretty vital at the beginning when you don't know so many kanji, but I'd recommend moving away from using them when you improve, and just manually looking words up instead

KanjiTomo is the only one I've ever used, it seemed pretty good

Is it okay to not do any new words in anki if I read instead?

>>143293770
The brain is pretty weird. When you recall something, it tries to build a connection between any thoughts on your mind and the thing you recalled, without any regard for whether that connection makes any sense. Usually this won't be a problem because you'll find more and more connections, drowning out any connections that don't make any sense, but Anki fucks this up by just giving you a single connection per word, which isn't enough to drown out stray thoughts.

Basically, the solution is to read more.

>>143294789
Absolutely not. Japanese kids up through university have to do their anki reps every day just to keep up and there have been multiple reports of adults completely forgetting how to read due to missing their reps. You really think you're better than the Japanese at their own language?

>>143294789
No one's forcing you to study any particular way, but you'll probably retain vocabulary better if you do a few new words AND read a little.

There's something that's been bugging me for awhile that I think holds a significant key to advanced-level language learning, and that question is - "What were the questions in answers in middle/high school English class that I got wrong, and why did I get them wrong"? Putting aside the college-level English courses who questions I recall dealing with 18th century poetry, I certainly recall (particularly in middle school) plenty of normal questions on normal stories that I got wrong, and thinking back I have no idea why that is. Did I not know the words and I just guessed? Did I not know the grammar and I just misunderstood? If I could just figure out what made me fail English questions in middle and high school, I think I would have a much more accurate understanding of how to approach and interpret later-level Japanese comprehension.

(I am an English-speaking native if it isn't clear)

functional illiteracy

it's normal to be functionally illiterate until you're of late highschool age

that's why the best second-language-learner material is below that level

>>143299942
Functional illiteracy seems to be primarily based on "real life" (i.e. job applications) rather than the broad spectrum of language to which I'm referring.

>>143299547
It's pretty annoying. The only interesting games i saw with full jap were Recettar and The house in fata morgana (VN tho). There's also Skyrim and final fantasy 10 and 13 LR with full jap, but i'm not sure about the interesting part there. Danganronpa 1 should have gotten a jap patch but thats more of a vn.

>>143299802
>tfw never had any problems like that
>always understood everything instinctively from the moment I learned to read
I can't help you with that, anon, but this approach does sound interesting.

>>143300077
That's because the wikipedia article on it was written by a bigoted regressive progressive. Functional illiteracy only means that you can "read" but can't actually understand what you're reading most of the time, *even if you would understand it via speech*.
