He's speaking at the fucking speed of light, and people can be good at some aspects of Japanese and lack at others, I've been reading for 9 months, can pretty much understand most written shit that isn't overly ridiculous, and have 11k mined vocab in my anki, I just happen to lack listening practice and so my listening comprehension isn't great

Before I start learning Japanese, I wanna know what motivates you to keep learning and how not to get bored. Is vidya helpful?

Hey /djt/ I tried reading stuff but I had huge problems, I never knew where the words end and where they start.
What caused the problems were kana only words in between sentences, stuff like から、だから、けど、だけど、ので、なので、んで、しかも stuff like that.
I couldn't tell where the conjugated word ended and where one of these kana words started.

What do? I already read a grammar book, but it didn't help me much obviously, so I guess I have to read Tae Kim or something?

It's weird but I really started to like Kanji, since they show me where words start and end.

I can understand most of the words he's saying but I can't understand much of the thing as a whole as always, it happens with anime too.

At least at the end I think I got him telling her she was a 迷惑 to society, calling her all sorts of "trash", that she got no friends, and that her mom and dad abandoned her.
I didn't get the 顎 thing though, what was he telling her about that?

>>143599313
He's accusing her of having an 顎 complex because she's wearing that mask, I think.

>>143599085
At least he can speak that fast while also being clear, unlike the ones that slur all the sounds.

>>143599428
But what the hell is an 顎コンプレックス?

>>143599505
Being ashamed of your chin?

>>143598976
Japanese has a limited amount of conjugations, once you to recognize them it won't be a problem any more.

There aren't that many that know of it

>アイアムヒーロー面白いですね。私もイチオシでございます
>I am a Hero is interesting too. It's also my best recommendation.
Did I get the 'イチオシ' right? Also how'd you express the 'でございます' in something like this?

>>143603228
Context. And both sentences are wrong.

>>143603443
>And both sentences are wrong.

There's now other context. He just told this to someone. there was no conversation beforehand (I just realised that the too makes no sense there.)

>>143603228
>Did I get the 'イチオシ' right?
The thing that makes this question hard to answer is that "best recommendation" isn't even natural english

How does it feel to know that in 5 years when you finally become fluent in Japanese, the best VNs will be English only

>>143603749
How would you phrase it then? What do you call your favorite thing to recommend to others?

>It's how languages work bro some things sound wrong and some sound right with no particular rhyme or reason for it
there is a reason why "best recommendation" sounds weird and top doesn't
a recommendation being top or number one makes sense because they elicit it coming before all other recommendations he might give. "best" sounds like you're describing the quality of the recommendation itself, which can make sense in a different context e.g. "the guy at the bookstore said i should read 'i am a hero' and i ended up loving it. it's the best recommendation i've ever gotten."

Music is a serious "don't think feel" thing. You'll just have to take that for granted and listen to it rather than trying to pick apart its grammar. Song artists like to stretch the language's grammar a bit.
Just look at English lyrics if you want an idea of how broken and abstract it can be. Translation is a no-go.

Writing is proven to aid memory and retention of information.

I'm sorry, Mr. Heisig, but No. ノ You failed (落第) the Kanji test again. My condolences 弔. The word "number" is 数 (#998), whereas No. 1 = 一番, No. 2 = 二番... (literally) A more accurate keyword would be -th or n-th, because 第一 = first, 第二 = second... 第 has to do with ordinals! Boo! This is your n-th misleading keyword choice, Mr. Heisig, boo! Boo! (BamBOO 竹) And I'm sorry again, Mr Heisig, but 弔 + ノ is NOT 弗! No. Just no! ノ

I just saw 石に漱ぎ流れに枕す today and thought the backstory was pretty funny.

中国晋の孫楚が、本来なら「石に枕し流れに漱ぐ（俗世間を離れ、人里離れたところで自由に暮らす）」と言うべきところを「石に漱ぎ流れに枕す」と言い誤ってしまったとき、友人の王済にからかわれた。
すると負けん気の強い孫楚は、「流れに枕するのは俗事を聞いて汚れた耳をすすぐためであり、石に漱ぐのは歯を磨くためだ」とこじつけたという故事に基づく。
「さすが」に当てた漢字の「流石」や、「夏目漱石」という雅号は、この言葉に由来する。

Good news for you, it's not so uncommon for high school graduates to date their teacher. One of the girls I know is dating her teacher from high school but now she's in university. Her friends told me a lot of girls do this. He over 30, she 19

If you had a mermaid girlfriend you'd want the top half to be human and bottom fish right? Top fish bottom human is too weird. Top human bottom fish also entails that she can't walk and is confined to the ocean, but I guess it's better than the other orientation

>>143621748

No and no. I would have replayed lines much more often if it wasn't so irritating.

>>143623639
There are lots of times when both ask and hear could be possible. Next time I come across one I'll post it.

>>143623512
What the fuck? A mermaid is by definition top half human bottom half fish. Something with top fish bottom human would just be some monster.

>>143623790
Reverse mermaid orientation is at least worth considering knowing that she has a human vagina and buttocks, and can walk around with you to places.

It's a vague expression to indicate that there's more to something or someone. It's kinda hard to explain. Can't find anything on Google to explain it, and this place has gotten really useless in the last couple years. Maybe try /r/learningjapanese?

20-30 minutes of Anki, and anywhere from no time to several hours reading compelling material.

>>143625807
>using the dojg anki deck

>>143625929
don't let's start

So, should I be more focused on grammar or vocab through anki? I just finished memorizing hiragana and katakana.

In anki, i have the core 2k/6k uploaded, but how do I memorize the meanings? Do i need to know enough vocab to make sense of the sentences the kanji are used in? Should i write the kanji down or,just memorize how it looks?

>>143625727
Thanks to your post I realized I was about to spend the whole fucking day on /a/ and snapped out of it. Time to close the browser and finish all that spring season anime

>>143626001
look at grammar as the main foundation of your japanese skill, grinding vocab is just a way to speed up your acquisition of it through reading

don't make the mistake of thinking learning vocab=learning japanese
at the end of the day a simple dictionary will let you understand any single word, but good luck finding a dictionary to let you understand how to split the clauses in a given complex sentence

>how do I memorize the meanings
see 経験
flip card over
see "けいけん - experience"
memorize that
move on

>>143625461
No way in hell I could ever get that. Thanks based anon.

I still get really confused though.
I have to remember that the continuative interrupts that sentence and the verb modifies what comes after it.

I don't know why I am struggling so much with these.

For example　　
物事の根幹となる、最も基本的な部分のこと
I know that なる>部分
But I have to re-read it to understand it.
I get confused about who does what.

連用形 and 連体形 are not that hard to tell apart

like >>143628139 said, they're literally the same as adjectives

you've just got to come across them more and then you'll get better at interpreting them right the first time around
it helps to drop all your preconceptions about commas too
commas are more a listening thing since this language doesn't have any rules for them

いくらあたしがせけんしらずでも

Took N1 at Ikebukuro campus of Rikkyo University.

Rikkyo University is pretty nice, I wouldn't mind teaching there after I finish my doctorate.

That aside, the test wasn't too bad. I didn't have a watch, so I preemptively felt pressed for time the whole test, but in the end I finished with like 25 minutes remaining. The hardest part was the "choose an example sentence where this word is used best" exercise, because the example sentences are all of the same type and vary only in nuance.

99,9% of other attendees were Asians and I could see some of them buried in textbooks even minutes before the test started. Around two thirds in one Asian guy fainted. I guess he was tired and dehydrated.

I spent yesterday getting ready by playing Muramasa.

what does "memorize all grammar" mean to you
grammar isn't something you memorize, it's to be read and understood
you're never going to reach a point when you can no longer improve your reading comprehension

as for the particles well, there aren't so many of them, but it'll be a long time before you should be confidently saying you understand them 100%
so repeat the cycle of reading and trying to understand what you just read, and over time you will learn more

>>143630520
>you're never going to reach a point when you can no longer improve your reading comprehension
but then when do you become fluent?

>>143630554

>>143630554
you become fluent when you become fluent
