theoretically if one learned the ~2000 jyuyou kanji and mastered most of the grammar in the available textbooks as well as their vocab plus 6k, would jlpt1 be passable or is it even beyond that?
>>143665635
N1 actually isn't passable if you haven't lived in Japan for at least 10 years. And that's not counting studying for about 2 years at home.

Fuccobi here,
A few threads ago I came in here for the first time to start on my nipponese learning adventure. I've now memorized all the Kana/Hiragana and am going to move towards grammar and anki kanji. I've run into some problems though, mostly on approach.
After listening to the jpopdcast thing that was in the guide resources, they suggest learning radicals first since they're building blocks of kanji and will likely make learning future kanji much easier than individually. But anons suggested learning grammar first. Some other annons said fuck grammar, go kanji. And other anons still, suggested both. But nobody suggested radicals.
Wat do from here? Just finished grinding kana/gana, what do you guys think is the best next step?
>>143665747
I've met several people who passed it within 5-6 years of study
>>143665635
Theoretically, that's exactly what JLPT is supposed to test: you knowing jouyou kanji and all the grammar textbooks can teach you.
But in addition to that you need to have enough experience with reading, you won't be able to go through reading section without a decent reading speed and comprehension, and you wont have that if you just cram kanji and grammar.
>>143666243
Unless you plan to write, "learning" radicals consists of reading their wikipedia page and looking at them shits in a table for a couple of hours as you don't have to actually memorize any information about them and just be able to recognize shapes.
After that start grinding 2k, reading tyler kimchi and trying to decipher Yotsuba like everyone here did.
>>143666243
The first thing you need to do is develop the ability to make your own decisions and not listen to whatever faggot is new and bored enough to reply to you on /a/.
>>143666243
Don't go out of your way to learn radicals first.
You'll learn them naturally over the course of time and probably eventually remember kanji as a combination of radicals - which is a useful skill - and it'd be useful in two people talking about how a kanji should be written but learning just radicals first when you know no kanji will just fuck you over.
It's like learning cursive handwriting immediately after learning the ABCs. It's technically a skill that might be useful but what the fuck are you doing learning that first when you don't even know the language?
>>143666714
>>>/gif/
>>143666756
>It's like learning cursive handwriting
Now you started some shit.
>>143666662
I think there's a fundamental difference between making your own decision and seeking out advice from someone who knows more than you do and has already done what you want to do. Clearly you're not one of those people if you don't have the ability to differentiate between the two yourself.
>>143666602
So I guess my next step is basically just grinding 2k while touching on grammar, huh?
>>143666243
>But anons suggested learning grammar first.
There's no reason you can't do both at the same time.
>>143666756
This is stupid advice. Learning radicals in isolation takes very little time and makes the process of learning kanji (recognition or writing) much easier.
It also helps immensely to have a name to associate each radical with as opposed to knowing them all as "oh, that one".
>>143666970
No shit.
>And other anons still, suggested both. But nobody suggested radicals.
>>143667085
Perhaps that's because learning radicals is part of learning kanji...
>>143667068
This is kinda what I was thinking. There's not a terrible amt of radicals and each of them seems to be a sort of building block of a kanji, so for example if you were struggling to remember what a certain kanji was, you'd notice it had the tree radical and then suddenly "to rest" would trigger in your memory, but what do I know.

Don't believe Kanji Damage's lies.
Learning radicals before learning jouyou is a waste of time. You should at least KNOW what they are and what part they play at constructing kanji. There are a _lot_ of radical constructs which make no sense whatsoever so don't expect to guess the kanji from the radicals alone; there's no magical formula.
Invest your time into focusing on the jouyou first, then when you're about halfway of kanjis learned (6th grade - about 1000 kanji) start your jukugo vocabulary.
Guessing jukugo meanings by their kanji makes a LOT more sense than guessing kanji meanings by their radicals.
Don't waste your time on radicals.
>>143675705
knowing radicals helps you make meaningful mnemonics to memorize kanji. that's the only reason to really be aware of them at all.
>>143675705
>Learning radicals before learning jouyou is a waste of time.
>Learning ~200 extremely simple and easy symbols over the span of a week that you're going to be seeing everywhere from now on
>Learning ~2000 complicated symbols with poor guidance and poor advice on what things about them you should memorize and what memorizing them is good for
>There are a _lot_ of radical constructs which make no sense whatsoever so don't expect to guess the kanji from the radicals alone; there's no magical formula.
Learning the radicals is not strictly about recognizing the radical concepts or phonetic connections in kanji. Learning the radicals also forces the brain to wire itself to recognize squiggles, and it does so in a much lower stress environment than learning words.
>>143675705
>He thinks memorizing kanji in isolation is useful
>jukugo AFTER the first 1k kanji, not DURING
Consider killing yourself so that you never try to give advice to autodidacs again.
>>143675705
Where does memorizing single-kanji vocabulary play into this? Don't tell me you think memorizing kanji teaches you how to read single-kanji words. That would be silly.

Radicals are just variations of kanji that already exist, so you'll end up absorving them during the course of your studies. That's what I meant when I said knowing what they are.
These are the radicals you should know about: 氵亻扌忄/⺗ ⻌ 艹 宀 阝 灬 飠 彳 犭 衤 ⺮ 礻 广 疒
There. I listed about 75% of all jouyou in existence.

Lies. The ordering is specially optimized to assist with recognition, and "full of" is a shameless exagggeration, there are only a handful or so.

The ordering is specially optimized to teach people kanji through vocabulary. It has nothing to do with assisting recognition.

Anecdotes are true. That's what makes them anecdotes.
Anecdotes are not generalizable. You're the same as people who see one white bird and think, "birds are white". You cannot say "birds are generally white" until you reach statistical significance, and you cannot say "birds are always right" until you examine each and every last bird.
Learn basic logic.

Dunno why you ironically put that between quotation marks, since Japanese kids learn theirs through compulsory education. Perhaps you're a enlightened person who found out a magical way to learn Japanese bypassing the kanji cramming.

Finally finished my "Vocab the Kanji" program today, just in time for Independence Day. Now I have a knowledge of all the jouyou kanji's meanings and common on and kun readings. Took approximately 2.5 months. I'm glad it's over. Here is an infographic of my mined deck for the past month for any interested.
A history of the program: After I got through 3k of Core and JTMW+Tae Kim I decided to start reading. I got through Hanahira fine because it was baby easy but then I started Flyable Heart. I quickly grew annoyed at looking up kanji all the time and had difficulty remembering them. So I thought, hey, why not learn all the kanji right off the bat? The problem is that RTK only teaches you english keywords. Admittedly a helpful concept but it would not help me much with actual reading. For that I needed to learn the meanings as well as readings.
So after deliberating for a bit I decided on what to do. I would systematically go through each jouyou kanji, looking them up on jisho, and for each kanji mining at least two common words per common onyomi. I also mined common kunyomi when there were any kunyomi readings. Rinse and repeat for every kanji.
So now I am finally done. Would I recommend others do this program? I liked it but probably not, just because it took so long. At least now kanji lookup will not be such a pain in the ass.
Pros:
- Knowledge of a few thousand basic vocab words (and a few thousand obscurer ones too).
- A good grasp of kanji's phonetic components. No need to memorize the onyomi for 組, 粗, 租, 狙, 祖, 阻, etc. individually; since they all have 且 they all have an onyomi of そ
- A good ability to guess the meaning and reading of any (jouyou) jukugo even if I haven't seen the word before.
Cons:
- Opportunity cost. Like I said earlier this time probably would have been much better spent just reading, but for my special breed of autism I'm glad I got this out of the way so I can just jump into reading and grammar study full blast.

Yeah, that certainly is true, sadly this isn't really going to help my comprehension much in the short term. For a beginner my language knowledge is stupid slanted towards kanji and vocab. But at least now I can finally just focus on grammar and reading since kanji isn't really a problem anymore. DOIJG and VNs, ho!
When mining words that have both two readings and meanings, try putting 「other reading」じゃない on the front. This will differentiate the two.

that was doomed from the start, an sjw language with a massive faulty premise: that languages are static and never change over time.

Japanese, sure, but non-native speakers yield a barrage of Hollywood-type media often with subtitles (unless you live in France, then you'll get a dub)
I'm Australian, but most media I enjoyed while growing up were Japanese cartoons (but with an American or Canadian dub) as they do in English speaking countries, unfortunately.
I feel if you were young and you only had exposure to dubbed anime (like DBZ and Pokemon) you'd learn English extremely easily and not yield a funny accent.
My friend from Puerto Rico learned English entirely from watching Spongebob Squarepants as he says, and he didn't develop an accent, he sounds native.
I just wish we had shows here in Japanese audio so I could learn a new spoken language of my choice just as non-native speakers learn the language of business.

Esperanto has too many words you can add to nouns, it's a cool concept and easy to remember, but written Esperanto is too repetitive and sounds like shit.

>>143680738
kek, I suppose, the curriculum there is entirely in Spanish, however most foreigners experience an English audio dub with annimemay (often with American or Canadian voice actors, which is why their accent sounds so plain/neutral) when they could just receive original audio with subtitles in their language, it would be significantly better for young children who want to learn a second language easily.
It's all about highest profits though, which definitely makes since for native English speaking countries, as it's far easier to understand audio than to read text if you don't about learning a new language (and you're indoctrinated to believe English is the most useful language from an early age, so it's hard to have desire for learning a new language.
I just wish we could have had a Goku or Ash without a deep neutral sounding English voice with the original audio, we might have been able to know English, the language of business, of course through education, and Japanese, the language of entertainment and porn through undubbed media as a kid and teenager.
>My friend from Puerto Rico learned English entirely from watching Spongebob Squarepants
Either you're a gullible fuck, or your friend was literally molded by memes.
Anytime a language is "purposefully" created it always looks awkward and shitty to me. I hate how Korean looks. Give me the natural clusterfuck of Japanese any day.

>>143681153
You mean Hangul? It looks awkward because it was crafted purposely for the reason of being easy for learners to write. It's easy to learn, similar to Hiragana, you could probably be master it in a week.
Why can't /djt/ ever agree on a method to learning shit? Of all threads, not once has anyone somewhat agreed on a learning process. I get that diff people learn differently, but that's not what I mean. For example,
>>143666243
asks how to go forward after learning his gana, but then look at all the replies to this guy essentially saying completely opposite things. To me it doesn't seem like a "this worked best for me" argument, but more of a "this is objectively wrong and will waste your time" argument. like this guy
>>143675705
There's got to be an actual proper way to learn that is malleable for the whole diff strokes diff folks types but is also not something that wastes people's time no matter what.
>>143680989
>you're indoctrinated to believe English is the most useful language from an early age
I don't think this really gets indoctrinated, though english being the most useful language is essentially a fact either way
it's true learning new languages is seen as a worldly hobby or "get it done so you graduate" type of thing, until it's about business, in which case you'll get pushed to learn a rising second-world language like Chinese
I find it extremely difficult to believe you can learn a language at an early age without anyone to speak to
>>143681268
>Why can't anyone ever agree on a method to learning anything?
Fixed for you, my 家族
>>143681251
Hangul's way easier than hiragana, there's less symbols to remember and they all fit together in a logical way
>>143681251
Until you try to learn grammar. Also how can anyone justify the autism that is the Japanese written language? Even learned Japanese don't know enough Kanji because it's such a ridiculous idea. Quite like Chinese.
>>143681268
>There's got to be an actual proper way to learn that is malleable for the whole diff strokes diff folks types but is also not something that wastes people's time no matter what.
You're searching for a single answer where there are a million.
DJT will argue about it til the cows come home either way, might as well pick one method and see where it gets you, rather than trying to narrow it down somehow with a bunch of argument-hungry autists who have each gone through only one learning process and can't possibly tell you anything worthwhile about the rest.
>>143681331
That's why I don't like it. It's lifeless and ugly. Besides, fewer symbols just means most of them look the same which isn't helpful. Not that it matters because there's no reason to learn it unless you're into business or their subpar media.
>>143681332
kanjis are pretty
>>143681331
I learned Hiragana in just a couple days, I couldn't imagine it's easier than Hangul, but maybe it's true. Memorizing easy shapes and their sounds is so simple.
>>143681332
Too bad Japanese entertainment is significantly more entertaining than media from Korea, otherwise we'd all be in a thread learning a much easier language.

>>143681379
I think the point is that when comparing things that logically make sense, such as learning radicals, people will argue that it's a waste of time. Million ways or not, that makes no sense. Nobody learns to fly an airplane by just fucking getting in one and going ham. There's a proper way to do it, sure you can change it up to suit you, but the building blocks you need should never really change.

Just couldn't stop yourself could you
>>143681594
Are you a non-native speaker? Hollywood sucks nowadays, they haven't done anything I like in several years.
As a non-American, I think movies with Canadian and American voices are the easiest to understand for non-native speakers as the accent is completely neutral.
It's also why our actors are so good at replicating the accent when they go to Hollywood.
>>143681568
>Nobody learns to fly an airplane by just fucking getting in one and going ham
while that may be a pretty bad idea for an airplane, there's plenty of things that strategy actually does work for as long as you have some guidance on what the proper way to do them looks like
personally i did study radicals for a week or two before i studied kanji, but i can see how you could go without either of those and just brute force your way through core
that way just seemed harder and more stressful to me so i didn't do it

>>143681788

The guide doesn't tell you the one right way to learn Japanese, it tells you what learning Japanese consists of and gives you the resources needed to make one for yourself.

The point of learning radicals is to teach yourself to recognize certain aspects of a kanji and get your brain to differentiate kanji. It doesn't matter if you learn what the radical itself means, that is useless. If you memorize the handful of radicals, you can much easily differentiate between kanji that include the same radical. Had you just memorized the kanji itself without having your brain make that extra trigger, it's easier to confuse kanji with the same radicals. See >>143675766

>>143685916
Japanese is very far from being the only contextual language. But it seems to be the worst for machine translation.

Not only is context a bitch, parsing kana is very complex, AND the language is very far removed from English in terms of sentence structure. It's perfectly understandable why machines struggle with it so much.

Anyone else kinda get frustrated at a lack of progress? I dedicate 30 minutes a day to space repetition of kanji and vocab (15 on vocab, 15 on kanji) and I've been doing this since last September. Whenever I see the kanji in Anki I'm able to recognize it, but I fail to recall it when attempting to write it out... It doesn't help that I remember the kana pronunciation more then I remember the actual kanji/vocabulary.
>>143686732
30 minutes isn't very much time at all, if you want to get better at remembering kanij and vocab then you should really start reading, reading native material is about a thousand times more effective than using SRS
Even with that though, language learning is a very slow process, even if you do spend hours a day learning you still don't even really notice the progression because it's stretched out over such a long period of time

Are you me? I started doing the same thing. It's pretty good I think, because you only invest a lot of time ones and after this you good the readings of the most common Kanji down. Of course Jinmeiyou Kanji also appear but with the On and Kun of the JYK it's really easier to read and look up words IMO.
Some Kanji like you explained are totally useless. It's kinda like Tae Kim explains in his post about the NJYK
>The first character on the list is 「亜」 for crying out loud! For all you know, that’s the most useful character in the world when in fact I have never used it in all my years of study. Do YOU write 「アジア」 and 「アメリカ」 as 「亜細亜」 and 「亜米利加」? I sure hope not! I thought for a second that maybe it’s used in the word 「唖然」 but no, not even! If anything, 「唖」 belongs in the list much more than 「亜」 if you ask me

Would this have Japanese subs in it?
A big mistake people make when they approach the languages of Japanese is that they assume Japanese is just one solid language. That's far from the truth. In reality, Japanese is split into four different spheres, each of which you have to independently study and learn (though naturally they share elements in the form of basic vocabulary and grammar).
1) Stream of Consciousness Japanese, also known as Spoken Japanese: This sphere of Japanese has the lowest average vocabulary level of any form of Japanese, but what really sets it apart from all over forms of Japanese is the immense difficulty of the grammatical composition. It's wild, loose, and hard to understand. The trademark of this sphere is knowing every word someone says, but having no fucking clue what they mean. If you only learn this, you won't be able to read anything or keep up with the news.
2) Media Japanese, also known as Written Japanese: This sphere of Japanese has an average level of vocabulary and grammar and is what the majority of people in DJT learn as it appears in VNs, manga, and anime. On a whole, it encapsulates most vocab used in Spoken Japanese in addition to more thanks to the variety of situations media covers. The grammar is easier than spoken Japanese significantly. If you just learn this, you won't be able to follow people's twitter or youtube blogs well at all or keep up with the news.
3) Business Japanese, also known as College-educated Adult Japanese: This is basically its own language with tons of grammar used no where else and an immense number of vocabulary terms you won't see anywhere else. If you don't specifically read political and economic articles for hours a day, you'll never be able to keep up.
4) Literary Japanese, also known as Oh Fuck My Head Japanese: This is basically "fuck you, you can't learn this". It's the sphere of Japanese pretty much everyone runs away from. It has infinite vocabulary and varying difficulties of grammar according to the writer.

No, I went on a dictionary vocab mining spree after I finished 3k words in Core and some beginner grammar resources.

The efficiency of the program is questionable but now that I have taken care of the bulk of the kanji, learning the rest as they come up will be a cinch.
>>143688342
Yeah, that's basically why I did it. Not NEET but on summer break so I had ~4 hrs/day. One-time time investment and kanji ceases to be a problem. Of course there are plenty of non-jouyou but because I now know the jouyou already, I only have to worry about the more uncommon ones. Worthwhile in my opinion. It also has the benefit of making some words make more sense. For example, 外科 makes a lot more sense as meaning "surgery": even though it seems it should mean "outside department", once you have learned 内科 the reason becomes clear.
Although I have to admit I mined a bunch of useless kanji as well. Speaking of 亜, I definitely have both 亜米利加 and 露西亜 in my deck.
>>143692404
Drive yourself to death by madness through doing this method, VTK overdose. At least by the time you finish you'll know the kanji.
Or just read. Probably a better idea.

Have you done RTK or radical study? If not it'll probably be difficult for you to write or remember radical placement unless you brute force write them over and over a few times each time you see them in anki. Recognition and production are two separate skills.

But that's not the definition you linked.
Really ya'll gotta stop overanalyzing the shit though. The only reason you think 今日 and 一日 are redundant and demand a definition of 一日 is that you're trying to think in English. Like if you're translating it you should just leave 一日 out entirely.
Reading through シュヴァルツェスマーケン and I came across this phrase from Theodore after Gretel asked for cover while reloading:

It's not grammatically wrong, but it is something nobody would ever say. Maybe if you learned English from watching subbed anime you might think otherwise though.

>>143700907
>It's not grammatically wrong, but it is something nobody would ever say. Maybe if you learned English from watching subbed anime you might think otherwise though.
What? I'm just confused why you're saying the 一日 part of 今日も一日がんばるぞい can't mean 'all day'.
>>143700907
"I'll give my best" is completely fine. "I'll do my best" and "I'll give my best" are pretty normal phrases. "I'll give it my all" etc. There's nothing wrong with it. Just because "best" isn't a noun doesn't mean the phrase doesn't work. "They don't send their best" and "All the best" are other examples where "best" can be used similarly.

>>143700978
Oh you mean the first part of this post >>143700036
You can interpret it as "all day" but it doesn't mean "all day" as in 24 hours, like the quoted definition
>午前零時から午後12時までの24時間
It just means all day in terms of events, or more specifically in terms of whatever stuff she has to deal with at work (making friends, the work itself, etc). Once she get's home from work - basically, once the hard part is over, she would probably consider her 一日 of 頑張るing to be a success. So if you are going to take from kotobank I would take the more neutral 朝から晩まで。終日。 「 -の仕事を終える」
>>143701135
You're thinking of "I'll give it my best". Without the "it" it sounds strange, partially because "give my best to X" becomes another idiom entirely.

If not, kanji is that one little fucker. It has on and kun readings.
It's useful to learn them so whenever you encounter it, you have an idea of how it can be read.
Couple this with the vocab in core and you will never forget kanji.

>>143707220
10000 a year isn't a big deal, you can reach that doing 30 a day.
Actually having 10000 cards in your deck is kind of pushing it, though. Why spend all that time doing anki and bragging about it when you could drop it and spend those cumulative ~300 hours on consuming media instead? It's probably less efficient in terms of vocab retention, but in every other area it beats anki out by a mile. To the point where it's not a bad idea to stop doing anki at all.
>>143707370
Because it's the only internet capable device I currently have.

I actually did 15,000 in my first year, and I slowed down shortly after.

>>143707220
I've got 11k in 9 months, never done 50 cards a day though, think the most I did was probably 30, and that was only briefly
>>143707552
It's actually a lot less efficient if you're not a beginner. Beginners get more out of anki relative to reading, because they can't fucking read.
>>143707240
http://www.kanjidamage.com/kanji/310-take-%E5%8F%96
Use mnemonics.
>>143707590
anyone can do the math there and see something's a little fishy, friend
>>143707590
30 for 9 months is only 8000, and that was only briefly.
>>143707612
If I wanted to expand my vocabulary in my native language it would still be more efficient to use Anki than to just "read a bunch". You can be a forever intermediate if you want to, but I am aiming for native.
>>143707663
>>143707695
Well that's what my stats say, on the 10 month ago mark I started afresh, or at least I was pretty sure I did, but if the maths off then maybe there was already a thousand or so cards on there when I started it up again
>>143707820
That's not what your stats say though.
>>143707695
You can totally reach native level without using anki, it is just very useful for beginners to "get up to snuff" before they start reading native material, and also help them not forget stuff
> ずっと嗅いでいたいぐらいエッチな匂いだ
Can someone help me with this, how does this translate?
I'm thinking it's something like (always) (smelling) (as if it's painfully lewd) (smell), and if it's correct I'm having trouble coming up with something english-y.
>>143707695
>If I wanted to expand my vocabulary in my native language it would still be more efficient to use Anki than to just "read a bunch".
Yeah but vocabulary isn't the only hurdle in Japanese. You need to get good at every part of it, and training every part of it at once is more efficient than training one small part of it slightly more efficiently.
>but vocab is a huge part of it
Only if when you say "vocab" you include all the context an nuance that goes into the words, and all the common words they are used together with. Which is something you get through reading and not through anki.
>>143708021
is it very useful for anyone at any point of the learning process, even if you are 'advanced'
you can multiply 10 digit numbers together on paper, but using a calculator is a lot faster. it's best to make use of tools if they can help.
>>143707942
It's the lifetime stats so the numbers are influenced by back when I was doing random shit like core and kanji study on there years ago, before I deleted them and just started mining
>>143708134
right, so cards added to the 11,000 before your 10 months? that's not 11,000 in 10 months then.
>>143708080

>>143708176
That's just the cards that you currently have though isn't it? Not all the cards you've ever had
>>143708080
it's a smell so sexual that i want to keep smelling it forever
>>143708227
i don't understand what you're trying to say, it says 45 cards per day, how do you explain that using your logic of deleting your old cards or whatever?
>>143708118
Don't get me wrong, I agree, and I don't plan to drop anki any time soon (possibly never) but it is definitely less useful at advanced levels. When you already know a few thousand kanji and can pretty accurately guess new words' meanings from the kanji as well as context there is not too much point to mining them.
>>143708198
Oh, tricky moonrunes!
I always want to smell something like this lewd smell...
(still feels like bad english, but thanks)
>>143707695
Your vocabulary is the library of words you know. You recognize them, know how they are used, how to use them, etc.
I don't get that out of Anki, which is why I don't use Anki to memorize English vocab, and why I don't use it to memorize Japanese vocab either. It just isn't worth the time to learn a bunch of simplified dictionary definitions by heart, when my memory will only be solidified by reading anyway.
At the end of the day it depends on the person; if your reading speed and comprehension are too slow to give you relevant exposure and your memory is too fleeting to catch onto words you've only seen once or twice, then you will benefit more from Anki relative to someone who doesn't have those problems. There are different skills involved in grinding flashcards and comprehending written material. Including acquiring vocab from either, because both activities build different pathways in your brain.
Don't brag about aiming for something. Start feeling satisfied when you actually get there.
Missing a day of my Kanjidamage deck is equal to death.

you can for some words, but you can also do that at an beginner level too. progress in general slows down, because you learn from common > uncommon, so each word exponentially counts as less of the language. i think you're underestimating how many words have uncommon readings or meanings.
>>143708276
>how do you explain that using your logic of deleting your old cards or whatever?
Because that stat's adding the current information with the information from back when I was doing loads of new cards a day in core and shit, but the card amount stat is just based on what you currently have, I'm only doing 20 new days a day at the moment, and before that I was doing like 15 for ages

It's probably more important at advanced levels. You just spend a lot less time doing it.
Beginner: hour of anki a day when they could just as well read a textbook
Advanced: 15 minutes of anki a day, adding fewer than 10 words a day, but thanks to anki you won't forget any of those weird ass words like >>143702832 and you'll increase your comprehension from 98% to 99.9% a lot faster
>>143708118
>you can multiply 10 digit numbers together on paper, but using a calculator is a lot faster. it's best to make use of tools if they can help.
cool analogy buddy
here's mine
anki is like memorizing the multiplication tables for every number through 10^11, and using a dictionary while reading is something you would do if you weren't a fucking spastic

Actually, you're right. When I said "less useful" I really meant that you spend much less time with it, but it is definitely useful for remembering obscure vocab. My fault for wording my point wrong.

It doesn't take a genius to do 10*30*newcards and see that what you're saying is inaccurate. I don't even really care, it's just so glaringly obviously.
Can someone recommend me a good LN that's in between the difficulty of Kino no Tabi and Jinrui? They're the only two I've ever read, I find Kino unbelievably easy, but I can barely progress at all through Jinrui
Not too fussed about what it is as long as it's good enough to recommend to someone
>>143708703
You're exaggerating about how easy or how hard. There's no reason you couldn't just read Jinrui if you wanted to.
What are some good podcasts to listen to?
I'm about midway through intermediate hell.
>>143708703
Pick any fucking LN that isn't written by Romeo Tanaka.
>>143708703
Bakemonogatari?
It's the only LN I read that was somewhat harder than the rest of them.
>>143708806
When you feel like you're midway through is when you have the realization that it's just beginning.
>>143708802
I can suffer through it but it takes me an age to read some of the harder pages, I figured it would make more sense to read something in between to make it a bit less hard on myself
>>143708854
That might be good, I'll give it a look, thanks
>>143708703
try イリヤの空、UFOの夏
only 200 pages into the first volume right now, not too bad
>>143708802
beginner 発見
as a pretty far reaching analogy, you wouldn't want to read finnegans wake just for the heck of it would you
slow comprehension, fuzzy understanding of the meaning of style, shallow exposure to the medium, etc. are good reasons to put off reading something til later
>>143708899
DESU I don't know where I am.
Reading shit on Hello Talk is easy, but I still can't comprehend 40% of Animoos that I watch. If I have Japanese subtitles, I can understand around 90%.
Japanese Youtube Videoes completely confuse me.
Vocabulary is kicking my ass mostly.
Is ハキハキ喋る used like "smart ass" or am I misunderstanding it?
>>143708973
Thanks, I'll check it out
>>143708806
JapanesePod 101 is alright. It just varies heavily in quality because they often change hosts from season to season. Some are good, some are shit. I'd say start off with their Lower Intermediate series and listen to the seasons (not the episodes in the seasons) in reverse order.
