Is this page safe for work enough to share on Reddit? I heard it is technically not part of the anime main page and is shielded from that offensive bile. There are some people who are interested in learning Japanese.

Too much bait, no fish.

>>144668346
Reading is far more important than studying vocab in isolation. While it's never too early to start kanji study, Japanese isn't written in individual characters and hasn't been for centuries (nor has Chinese, for that matter). There are enormous areas of grammar and usage that you're missing by not reading actual sentences.

>>144668929
I know ;_;
How awful was my translation and what does the sentence really mean though?

>>144668825
I had to mount it to install and when I try to run it from there I get blocked by the software, and If I run it from it's folder it just gives a failure dialog box.

>>144669386
This has to be a meme. One does not know a kanji unless one can write it.

>>144669481
Then I know like 50 kanji even though I can read like 1300

>>144669445
Ok thanks, that probably just means I'm fucking something up. Good to know I'm not missing a step.

>>144669481
You don't have to know how to write kanji to be able to read japanese. People don't study kanji to know kanji, they study kanji to remember vocabulary.

>>144669481
Damn, if that's the case then I can't believe I've been studying for over a year and only know like 5 kanji.

>>144667581

Cute. Don't worry about broken Japanese, worst case scenario someone makes fun of you for it.

>>144667581
The one thing that stands out to me that might look wrong is the first の. But what the fuck do I know

And that's very short-sighted thinking. Being able to produce a word, either by writing, saying or visualizing it, greatly improves retention.

>>144670923
You're missing his point.
>I know that kanji

>I know how to write that kanji.

Just discovered the grammar bit, 上では.

Any others that are fairly simple, but not often pointed out?

>>144671168
I suppose that depends on how you want to define "know". If reading alone is good enough for you, then I guess you know enough.

Lately I've been getting tired and bored of Core 2k6k, it's barely showing me any new kanji and mostly just words composed of kanji I already know, some of which are pretty obvious. Should I stop new cards and dedicate "full-time" to mining? I've been doing a mining deck since about a month ago, though I limited new cards to 10 a day since I already have Core at 20 and also DoJG at 10 (now it's 7).

Guy from earlier. Yes, Go! Go! Nippon! does have a JP-only text setting. It is a bitch to hook since neither ITH or ITHVNR cooperate but if you screw around with VNR for a while you can get a semi-decent hook. It messes up on very short lines but that's all right because typically those are easy to read anyway.

Would not recommend for a first or second VN but if anyone here wanted to give it a try, it's possible.

>>144673008

Dan is in this case "brigade" or maybe "team".

Everybody but one guy tried to help out, you guys rock. The main problem I have is that her handwriting is for shit (the idea is that she halfasses things and just throws signs together with whatever marker is lying around and is a spaz in a hurry). It's kind of crammed together. So it's not exactly easy for me to even identify all of it.

Obviously I have torn the source material apart as I mentioned. There is no episode where they ever detail the text on her signs, you have to get it from context.

As it happens, that sign is not in fact one she used in the anime or novels, so it's good that somebody answered me. It's unique to the figure. Yare yare...

Thanks sempai.

It's literally some of the clearest handwriting I've ever seen, the equivalent of block capitals.

I told you to just watch the fucking show because you'd have to be braindead to not just understand what it said from context. The club needs more members, she makes a sign, what could that sign possibly say?

I'm saddened that people decided to help someone as clearly retarded and delusional as you, but there are a lot of beginners trying to prove themselves and they'll jump on anything that requires 2 seconds of work to brag.

I'm sorry your overrated elite skills don't extend to reading English, or at least not with useful comprehension. Every point you tried to raise was already covered, pay attention or shut the fuck up, mad guy. Case in point: I didn't ask for the jist of it as mentioned. I asked for help with a translation, which more skilled people than your aspie self managed to provide without much trouble. Literally everything you said is either empirically wrong, full of unwarranted self-importance, and delusional unearned confidence in your skill, verteran status here (lol) and lack of self-awareness...4chan Japanese failure guy.

Also note, if you don't like emoticons, you'd hate actual Japan. Even the elderly use them.

Anyway there are always cunty teens here, post what you like because they have no say about it. Just ignore them and their nuts shrivel, all they can do is keep shitposting.

Eventually someone cool will help out. And remember, for every "skilled" twat, there is someone much more skilled and also socially adjusted.

Forgot to do my reviews for the first time in nearly two years. Luckily, I did 10~ or so in the early morning so it didn't ruin my streak in the stats themselves.
I haven't done new cards in months. Maybe it's time I just finally stop using anki. There comes a point where switching to all-exposure for vocabulary acquisition is natural. Maybe this is that point.

>>144681434
How many words you got?

>>144681434
The reviews per day will slow down to like 50 and you can do them any time you go take a shit. Might as well keep going, maybe delete some decks like core 2k/6k if you have them, since you're going to see those words often enough that you won't forget them at this point anyway.

>>144680836
> I do that sometimes but I either get sarcastic replies or am outright ignored.
Whenever I am online I always try to answer, even if it's basic, unless someone else does it first.
And I'm around here about 16h/day, so yeah, no.

Maybe the sarcastic replies you get aren't really sarcastic?

>>144681535
There's posts in this very thread asking questions with no replies, so that's obviously a lie.

Ignore the "unseen" cards, 10,000 is from a novel-generated deck and the rest is from unfinished Core6k.
>>144681532
I haven't been reviewing Core2k/6k anyway. That's my mining deck. I know it's best to keep doing it, but I'm speaking psychologically here. I've spent over two years thinking "I have to do anki" literally every day. Back in m heyday I even planned my day around it, making sure to do my reps before leaving anywhere, or being sure to synch my phone so I could duck out of a party to rep. Dropping anki, while not actually helping all that much, would be immensely psychologically relieving.

Living the life is in itself kinda being a murderer. Even the people who built this school have built it by expending lives.
I don't mean it literally, of course. They spent time building it, right? Whether they liked it or not, they sacrificed the time of their lives to this task.

I think it has value in that, for instance, you don't think that particular translation is correct and aren't worrying over how to get from the Japanese to that English. You're welcome.

>>144682356
I think he's picking on the fact that the second sentence doesn't seem to be said by the same guy who said the first one, so "I don't mean it literally" is probably wrong.

>>144682539
That's arguable, but I don't think it's wrong. It's not a literal translation, so I think that's also a "good" translation.

I'm saying this because of the って so I think it feels more natural like that.

I'd translate that as "I-it's not like I meant they built it for real you know?" and you'll figure english is not my primary language right away.

>>144682841
It's not arguable. It's not a literal or a liberal translation, it's just wrong. It's hard to tell from your translation but if you meant "for real" as in "they didn't built it in reality, because this is a metaphor" then you're wrong too.

Not that they didn't built, but that they didn't seriously worked their asses (and died) for it.

This complements the previous sentence saying they died to build it, but not that he meant they were so serious about it to die for it, so isn't "I don't mean it literally" a fitting choice?

Uh oh this is getting into text comprehension territory

I guess this is the best thread to ask in.

I'm looking for some newer fantasy LN series to get into.

Of course in Japanese, preferably untranslated, so it won't be tainted by terrible EOP and/or DJT fanbase like Re:Zero for example.

>>144683256
> so isn't "I don't mean it literally" a fitting choice?
No, because in that TL that means "they didn't literally expend their lives", not "they didn't seriously work their asses" or what have you. It conveys different ideas and thus is wrong.
>>144683306

there is always someone willing to translate, usually for free. the most popular works always get translated, only the niche of the niche works do not get translated. what I'm saying is, there is no "need" to learn japanese. you are doing it because it's fun, or whatever. but there is no need to learn it, so eventually you might get bored of japanese works and because you don't live in japan no one around you speaks it and so you don't use the language and eventually you just forget everything.

There is obviously more than one way to learn, but there really is no way to get around the fact that you'll have to put in a lot of boring hours into studying grammar.
