ITS IMPOSSIBLE ITS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE

>>144575718
depends on how you define it

I've always found it kind of strange how the word "fluency" often gets modified here and other boards (namely /vg/ and /jp/) to mean mastery of consumption skills (reading and listening), or being able to write stilted, caricatured phrases in runes. Saying it anywhere else would immediately evoke thoughts of speaking, which is not only rare, but completely ignored.

this is understandable for a hobby board, but it makes it a decidedly wrong place to ask serious questions about "fluency," its time frame, and methods to get there, since we get very few people who've actually proven they've reached that.

assuming you were even talking about that kind of fluency to begin with

Fluency here always meant being on a level close to an educated Japanese adult, as in having both reading comprehension and the ability to hold a conversation about a fairly advanced topic.
That's a hurdle a bit higher than the usual "able to have a frivolous chat about nothing with some guy at a bar" definition of fluency you see elsewhere.

>南よりなこの島の位置
I assume this means a place at the south of an island but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how it works. Is よりな with a geographical location some special grammar? The one in the DOJG seems to work differently.

The one in the DOJG works like 赤道より北に. Using that logic it would say further (towards) island than south, i.e. further north. I doubt that's what's meant however so I assume this よりな works differently.

>>144577933
You're right,
fluency is a word with a lot of different meanings and frankly, it's getting bastardized by so many people. I'm German and I would consider myself fluent in English because I've literally spend my entire life on the internet and that's the level I'll be shooting for in Japanese, but when you hear most Germans speak English, even though they say they're fluent in it, they make the most blatant errors.

The thing that is in my opinion the most annoying are "polyglots". Maybe American don't feel the same but when you go to a polyglot youtube channel it's literally just 24/7 bragfagging about how "fluent" they are in so many languages and "dialects", usually shilling their books or blogs, but once you hear them talk in your native language it sounds absolutely horrible with constant grammar errors.

I have nothing against accents, it's incredibly difficult to lose them (I've been working hard on losing my English accent and I still have some) and some even sound pretty awesome but what these "fluent" "polyglots" do is just raping a language for the sake of youtube views and trying to trick others into buying their books.

My definition of fluency is being able to read, write and talk like a native or at least being very close to it.

>ESLs who think they're fluent in English
Your use of language is clearly unnatural and stilted - it is immediately apparent you are not a native speaker. While technically grammatically correct, your prose doesn't flow off the tongue the way a native's would, and hence you are not fluent. Of course, not being a native you don't realise your lack of ability, and people are too polite to correct you, so you live an arrogant deluded life of lies, where you think yourself equal to the natives around you, never realising their deep inner thoughts of disgust and repulsion at your bastardization of the English language.

You would do well to remember that language is thought; it is only through words humans are capable of expression and of emotion. 1984 portrayed this quite eloquently with the attempt of controlling dissident thought through the use of manipulating language, but it's fairly self-evident. So when you have the language of the internet, namely English, be that means of self-expression, that is how we demonstrate our individuality. An ESL is incapable of properly generating prose, this is clear simply by looking at their mangled, stilted sentences, and to a native, this means they sound like a mentally retarded person. This is not a metaphor, their expression of thought is quite literally that of someone who is unable to properly form coherent sentences, namely a retard. So to us, you ESLs are no different from someone with fetal alcohol syndrome, or Down syndrome, etc. Hence it is no wonder we look down upon and scorn you.

"are" here should be "is", because "thing" is singular. The whole phrase sounds strange anyways: "thing" is singular, but "polyglots" is plural. Also, polyglots are people, not things. I'd recommend rephrasing it entirely.

Be careful about overusing the word "literally", it makes you sound like a millenial who's spent too much time on reddit.

Even if you did, you'd learn the correct way of saying it once you start studying listening comprehension anyway. You think studying a slightly wrong way for a few weeks makes you unable to learn Japanese?

>>144580563
Literally any tutorial you look at will have standard tokyoite pronunciation. What actually matters is pitch accents, which come from actual words, not fucking sounds.

>>144580611
What kanji are those

>>144580471
I honestly have no idea why there's 3 of them and what the difference is, I just open catalogs in all 3 of them and look for interesting threads.

>>144579130
guess i put mucb less effot now in my posts since there are ppl here who get pissed off bout grammar. its kinda funny that you try hard to sound somewhat eloquently on 4chan

>>144580625
Actually I do believe so, because I'll just end up with an accent. I would rather build a solid basis first.

>>144580707
You can always tell people you speak Okinawa- or Hokkaidouben

The grammar of Japanese is simple, yet understanding a paragraph is often times difficult because of a lack of practice with sentences' omissions that one is expected to derive from context. What do you call this aspect of difficulty? Learning Japanese is generally divided into vocabulary, kanji/kana and grammar, but I feel like the difficulty of understanding context when studying Japanese doesn't fit into any of them.

>>144580784
>What do you call this aspect of difficulty?
It's not an aspect of difficulty or anything like that, just your lack of experience. Only way to deal with that is to read more.

>>144580707
>gain an accent from practicing single syllables by talking to yourself
That's not going to happen. Stop worrying about it.

Any simple books to start with that aren't manga? Manga has become boring to since quite some time.

>>144580816
From that view vocabulary isn't difficult either since it's just a lack of memorizing them.

Learning to understand context is a major part of learning Japanese and one a lot of people get stuck on, but calling it "Japanese's difficulty of grasping context" doesn't have a very nice ring to it.

Like, Japanese is a difficult language to learn for foreigners, despite having simple grammar and kanji and vocab being a simple matter of memorization. The reason is what you call a lack of experience, but what exactly is it that you fix by gaining experience? I know I'm getting into autism territory here but there should be a term for it, shouldn't there?

>>144580896
I think proper term for it is "autism".

>>144580925
Well sorry for wondering after seeing people call Japanese a hard language despite calling its writing and grammar simple in the same paragraph.

Thank you guys for the help. Have to go to work now. I'll try to be here tomorrow. Good luck learning.

I have a question about using Anki.
I just got 起きる in core2k and there's a card both for "to get up" and one for "to occur". This is pretty confusing, since they're impossible to tell apart. Currently I just try and answer with both meanings every time 起きる appears, but it's getting pretty annoying.

So how should I deal with it? I'm guessing this probably won't be the last time multiple cards appear with different readings. I've thought of merging them into a single card with both meanings, but I'm unsure if that's a good idea.

What's recommended here? I'm guessing that the deck is structured the way it is for a reason, but right now it's pretty irritating.

>>144581127
It's one of those things you've just got to dealio with. Merge the cards and delete 1, try to recall both readings every time.

>>144581127
I would remove one of them and later on learn second meaning from context.

>>144581127
Core is dumb with things like that so you have to put info from both cards into one.
Or just fucking delete second one, that's what I did.

>>144581217
>>144581221
>>144581211
>Merge the cards and delete 1, try to recall both readings every time.
Alright, I thought that would be the case.
Plenty of cards already have multiple meanings attached to them, so I was confused as to why this one was different.

I'm guessing learning the secondary meaning from context is the smart way of doing thing.
Thanks anons.

>>144581342
Just wait till you get to words with different meanings AND readings.

>>144580138
Meanwhile 2channel has like 20 anime boards

I guess they all just stuck with whatever was popularized first (just like any new English imageboards are dead on arrival even if they are improvements over 4chan because people just don't want to move)
Plus I think futaba was only created as a backup site for 2channel possibly shutting down, so that could also be why it never took off as its own thing.

>>144581221
>core is dumb with things like that
How'd you handle homonyms in a flashcard system then?

>>144581127
Try to think of the happening nuance of 起きる as a situation awakening or something, that's how it works and that let's you only need to recall a single "meaning."

Why do "updates" always make things worse and even break the fucking progran

>>144581392
Futaba is pretty much its own thing, though.

>>144581127
both of those meanings are so common that you really should be able to produce both

I would hit Hard and pass it anyway if you got one meaning but not the other, but I wouldn't let it get too mature if you consistently struggle to produce the second meaning. You can invent your own system though.

>>144581377
Those kinds of words should be learned out of anki, you could easily fill a page of notes on them and it would be much more time-efficient than making a grotesque memecard with five definitions

>>144581414
Well, in the end I don't think it's that much of problem. I guess I'm just annoyed that it fucked with my rhythm. It's probably not a big deal after you make the connection in your head.

>>144581377
Well shit.

>>144580139
Probably not.
Even on their board for learning English they tell native English speakers to go to basically a containment thread where some autists post random snippets of news articles unrelated to anything all day.

Is it saying

>>144584688
correct

>>144584688
>both were often called the class' delinquents
Something minor and maybe it's from context, but it doesn't say they were called delinquents /by/ the class, and it's in past tense

>>144585210

So something like

>Together, we were called the delinquents of the class.

would be better?

After dividing my browsing time 50/50 between 4chan and futaba for about a year, it's actually mindblowing how much my reading comprehension improved.

Oh, looks like you do in that picture, because of the reading being above that linebreak

>>144574744
Where? I want my own!

>>144587373
Putting the reading above the bar and the definition below the bar is better for your visual memory because it separates the facts more strongly.

>>144587472
oh yeah nah i just prefer the way it looks

>>144587486
>>144587521

>>144587423
You mean whether to use か or が? Why would you use が?
か (ka) is used for questions, が (ga) isn't.

>>144587275
Thanks a lot.

Also, someone knowledgable should add a more detailed guide on how to setup Rikaisama to the Resource list. Figuring that shit out was a fucking pain in the ass

>>144587605
Ah yes, thanks. Someone misled me the other day, saying you had to use the dakuten.

Do you guys again cards if you get the reading slightly wrong? For example words with 人 in, where you think it's じん and it turns out to be にん or visa versa

I used to but recently when I get shit like that or rendaku wrong I just hard it, I figured it just doesn't really justify againing it

>>144587423
>wanting to write "bane?" in japanese
>knowing the term dakuten but not how it works
Am I getting memed?

>>144587717
Depends, when it happens often enough for me to remember that I didn't know which of the two it was last time either I again it, if it's a one off sorta thing I go with hard and see where that takes me

>>144587640
There are two great pastebin instructions for setting up a mining deck and an html texthooker floating around somewhere butI think neither are in the guide, it's strange

Although the texthooker guide might be there already, someone asked for it to be added a while a go and I can't be arsed checking whether it's there now

>>144587722
Don't bully. I am dumb, I know.

>>144587851
The texthooking guide is on the Resources page. There is also a Rikaisama realtime import pastebin linked from the guide (http://pastebin.com/q2kra4cq).

>>144587686
Well it depends on the context. If someone asked "Know who I am?" "Xですか" would be used in the answer, meaning "Are you X?", if it's something like "That madman went off the rails" you'd use "Ｘが?" like in "X did?"
I mean I'm not even sure if you mean Bane like the guy from Batman or the noun or what

What did 晶 (the narrator) mean with 「いや、そっちのが余計届かないだろ」? Context is that Akira couldn't receive a volleyball serve. He's stuck in a girl's body right now and believes that his usual body would've been able to reach it. 結衣 is 晶's teammate.

For a native speaker it wouldn't be complicated.
For a learner, you could first find 吐 then look all combinations of 吐+kanji that can also be a -suru verb, with the second kanji looking like the one you're looking for, and of course its meaning making sense in the context of the sentence.

>Do more X

嘘つけええ!!

>>144597652
Took me like 3 or so hours to mine those 30+ words so probably not that out of the ordinary

What's the difference between p and q?

>>144597838
it's actually an optical illusion: they're both the same

>>144597838
Japanese children have to use っ because they can't handle the big kana when they're too young, when you turn 14 you're allowed to start using つ but you need to get your licence first

>>144597838
Japanese draw it small when they are writing fast

Today I did Anki for 21 minutes and then I read a visual novel for 4 hours and 43 minutes.

>>144598442
I'd say I know about 1000 words maybe?

>>144598501
It doesn't really matter how many words you know before going into reading something, I mean it does to an extent, but you're going to have to get used to using a dictionary all the time anyway, what matters more is your grasp of grammar
