Yes, yes you should

No furigana so you need kanjitomo or something to look up kanji. Otherwise it's just as easy as everything else

The cancer of every "how i lern japones lol" thread. alljapaneseallthetime is new age feel-good bullshit to learning a language as scientology is to religion. Sure, some general advice from there is sensible (immerse yourself!) but then there's shit like DON'T LEARN GRAMMAR FROM A TEXTBOOK, IN FACT DONT USE A TEXTBOOK JUST MINE SENTENCES WITH UR SRS XDDDD, and horf dorf dont take jlpt, not even to gauge your competency in japanese its just bad lol xD

Yeah, you might feel like I'm going to be a true Japanese in no time with alljapaneseallthetime.com! The truth is, you're going to realize that you know jack shit when you're asked to an interview in Japanese.

Fuck I hate that site so much

It's almost as bad as people who claim to memorize 100+ kanji with heisig every day. For fuck's sake, don't ever use heisig, biggest waste of my time. Shit's so stupid, he teaches you individual kanji like THIS IS CONCAVE 凹 IT LOOKS LIKE A DITCH THATS HOW U REMEMBER IT XD AND THEN OH HERE'S PIG IRON 銑 (im flipping through it right now what the fuck am i reading) Oh and compounds? Let's take a look at the second book

Well, with pig iron, it looks quite a bit like 銀, which is another metal. And 銀, the left radical reminds me a bit of 金, which another precious metal. And it's easy to remember money/gold.

Any good beginner level harem material where the mc isn't an insufferable idiot? Preferably a VN, but anything is fine.

>>144140555
>harem material
>mc isn't an insufferable idiot

Choose one, anon.

>>144140555

Harem material where the mc isn't an insufferable idiot is hard enough to come by as it is.

I haven't read it but I hear Love Hina is pretty easy. But my guess is that the shuujinkou is indeed quite the baka.

>got my first leech

Is there a difference between 行き 「いき」 and 行き 「ゆき」? As far as I can tell, they both have identical meanings and kanji.

>>144140956
It's for the better, you'll end up wasting time on it that could be used on others. Just let it hang around and get to it later.

>>144140956
I finished 6k and have had a total of 3 leeches.

>tfw i leech way too much
should I just make a seperate deck for when I get more than 10 or something?

>>144141077
I'm only 2k in and knew two of those instantly! I also get 授業 wrong a lot though

>>144137101
It took me about 20 minutes but I was probably further along than you.

>>144140956
I leech a shitton, I just leave them in and eventually I remember them.

I'm not super into Anki though, I usually do it right before bed when I'm tired. I want to start taking it more seriously though as I'm realizing the sheer amount of vocab I need to know.

So far I'd say I'm far stronger in grammar. VN sentences are easy to understand grammatically but I'd be fucked without the text hooker a lot of times.

>>144141717
I'm really strong with my anki, doing it around three times a day.
However, my grammar really really sucks as I just don't have the same motivation to work with it so I end up not doing any work with it and leaving it to rot.

Any suggestions?

>>144141858
My only advice is to read. Seems obvious but it works

Find a manga or VN (helps if it's one you're interested in) and read it. You'll probably want to go through a grammar guide first though, everyone recommends Tae Kim but I didn't like it very much and instead would recommend Japanese the Manga Way.

>>144141474
that's what i did although i never used the deck until i finished core2k and shut off new cards

Don't forget that you need to use Japanese every day, or you will forget it all.

Grammar is annoying sometimes. Its hard to tell what is grammar or vocab or if you should read something differently.

Basic grammar is easy tbqh but after that it gets tough imo.


>>144142374
This is actually not true but in terms of reps you get messed up tying to come back from it.

When you're reviewing on Anki, if you can remember the meaning of a word, but not the reading, do you push GOOD or AGAIN until you remember?

>>144143066
I go with Good. I feel it's too late to change that.

>>144143094
I suppose I should ask more specifically, what do you think would be the best approach?

>>144143257
If I could start again, I'd make sure I know the reading and definition. Or make two decks to separate them both.

Warning though, I am a newbie myself.

>>144143066
If I don't know both I again it, unless it's a bullshit rendaku reading or some shit in which case I just hard it

>>144142653
You won't forget Japanese if you don't use it every single day, but doing something every single day is an important habit to build. It's the only path to real, serious improvement in any skill or hobby.

>Its hard to tell what is grammar or vocab
the term "grammar" here is sort of split between "DOJG vocab" and "reading comprehension"
You can find out the meanings of most grammar structures through the grammar dicionary or google, but everything a dictionary can't help you with is a comprehension issue.

>>144142653
Watch more anime

>>144140795
What does it say? I don't understand Japanese.

>>144143415
It says:
ふっふっふっふ　青い！青いぞ！若造！
大きな方がよいなどと言っとるうちはまだまだ子供よ！
小胸こそ究極の乳！
どれほど小ぶりであろうともけっして無にはならない微妙な線のかもしだす幻妙なる色香……
それがわからぬか！このたわけがっ！
なにいっ

>>144140970

Nobody?

>>144143352
I wonder why a lot of the stuff DoJG considers grammar is something I just learn as vocab. Imo grammar refers more to the ordering and structure of sentences rather than specific words put into the sentence, which is what DoJG seems to think it is.

>>144139115

ok, so what's wrong with that? The simplest conclusion is the best for memory. If not it specifically tells you to make your own stories to REMEMBER THE KANJI. I don't know why you're reading a book with that title and expecting anything else.

>>144140970
They're the same. ゆき was more common in the past, but now a days いき is more normal in conversation. You most commonly hear　ゆき some in songs/poems and the like.

what's the hardest grammar?

>>144144315
It would require learning handwriting, so no.

>>144145115
と
At least, it seems to show up in a lot of sentences I can't wrap my head around even though I'm aware of all the meanings.

>>144143845
Can someone confirm these for me? I don't think I'm getting it correctly:

> 大きな方がよいなどと言っとるうちはまだまだ子供
This one I'm almost, totally clueless. I'm guessing it's something like
(An adult is good etc) (been saying [who?]) (I'm still a kid)

The others I think it goes
"small breasts are the best tits!"
"that delicate line where no matter how little they are they are still not unexistent bring about a strange illusion of allure"

>>144147367
Edit the card template and remove the audio part.

>>144147367
Just go into your mixer and mute the program

>>144147367
He doesn't know the value of hearing the audio everytime. It's subtle but it'll help you.

>>144147367

What would be the best way to go about learning if i just wanted to understand the language? Not speaking or writing.

>>144147829
That's not how learning a language works, dumb fuck. Just do it the proper way with writing and speaking. Genki 1 and 2 are a great start.

>>144147829
Watch anime for a few years

>>144147890
Genki 1 and 2 are books i assume, where would be the best place to read them?

>>144147948
>10,000 hours

>>144145115

>>144147829
It's hard to learn a language if you can't read it if you don't have a teacher or a direct contact to a fluent speaker. The kana are likely necessary at the very least unless someone knows of a resource that teaches the language in its entirety in depth using just romaji (I highly doubt one exists, at some point you need to switch to Japanese resources to properly learn details and you need to be able to read to do that, of course).

AJATT is a gateway learning aid of the worst kind. It's a bad site, a clusterfuck of blogposts and lists that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive new age faggotry and INSPIRATION. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the site itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The silverspoon customers all trying their hardest to look cool, the forum members, peculiar, colorful posts, the whole SRS faggotry and everything about the AJATT world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party html backgrounds, emphasis on words, and overall preachiness of the site make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

AJAT is basically THE site to attract the most hated Japanese learner base known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this site and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no AJATT threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

This is very misleading to new students... sure, you could finish it doing over 20 words a day 90 day non stop, but you have to agree that is not realistic and it's imposing unnecessary pressure. A more realistic goal would be 6 months or don't put time at all.

Then I had to set it up again and only then did I get to the stage you're at and spend ages all over again figuring out why cards aren't being added. Man kids these days have it so easy.

>>144158242

In most of DJT's eyes you would be "bad" relatively speaking. Your speaking and listening comprehension clearly are pretty good but if you are unable to read at an N1 or even N2 level then you are lacking. Especially from DJT's perspective since DJT focuses primarily on reading comprehension. 漢字解読出来ないなら「good」というのはちょっと違うかも

On 4chan it is easy to forget there are people behind the screen, you seem like a nice guy. So, sorry if you were offended by some people's posts. That being said, they were posted because you came off a bit presumptuous - someone at N4 level is not exactly 弘法大師 if you catch my drift. If you except the <2 months-in beginners, probably over half of the remaining DJTers are at least N4 level if not N3. Even if you had N1 that is nowhere near native level but if you had that (or N2 even) then you would have some credibility.

Do you think it's worthwhile to apply for two years in Japan as a "Research Student" after I finish my master's degree?

The tests are a joke for me (since they're supposed to be passable by beginners and I'm studying Japanese for half a decade by now), but I wonder "Research Student" is a worthwhile endeavor. Ideally you're probably supposed to find an academic job during your two years stay, I guess.

I really wish I made this decision sooner. The benefits of doing RTK started getting smaller and smaller after 800 or so kanji (at least for me). I got what I wanted at that point: it demystified kanji for me and taught me how to decompose and learn new kanji by myself. But of course I'm a disgusting completionist/perfectionist and had to try to finish it. Fucking fuck.
