do you guys review all the new words you mined on a day, or just treat your mining deck as normal core deck with a set amount of new cards per day?

I was playing Persona 2 and this name popped up. There wasn't any kana along with it and my quick Google search didn't turn up anything that gives me a reading. I'm not good with names, do any of you know what the reading could be or should I just guess?

>>146940313

Whenever I add a word I bring it to the top and if I encounter it again before I've seen it in Anki and I have to look it up then I bring it to the top again.

I didn't want to post off topic, but I've been struggling with this all day, and I don't know who to turn to.

I study Japanese like the rest of djt and want a Japanese job one day, but I also take chinese at school. I don't like chinese, and didn't like the Chinese people I tried speaking chinese with. And even with the chinese friends i do have, they really dont give a shit about hiw much chinese i can speak because they alresdy know english. But, I'm going into business and want to start a company one day or be a businessman in Japan. And so, everyone recommends I do chinese But. in order to chinese I've, I can't do physics, which I find interesting. I like reading physics, tslking about physics, it challenges your mind, and it desrlcribes the world we live in. But everyone who does physics is an engineer and not going into business, and Chinese is the opposite.

So, djt. What should I do? If im taking mandarin, I'm definitely going to be reading a lot more manhua, and I know chinese helps (just a little) with japanese.

Give mean honest reasons why I should like 中国語.

don't use a thesaurus, just boot up harukuru and you'll get all the words you ever need

>>146948148

study only chinese, drop physics and japanese. because japanese comes from chinese, by learning chinese you will by extension know japanese already, as well as know all the physics vocabulary you need thanks to the magic of hanzi.

>>146948316
Does this work the other way around too with Japanese?

>>146948500
It doesn't work either way.

>>146948316
In all the 3 years ive taken chinese class, I have not found that chinese helps me with Japanese at all. Occasionally, I'll see some reoccurring characters like 去る in Japanese, and there was one character on the jlpt i knew from chinese, but most of the time, I knew the Japanese character first, so it's been more like japanese helped me with chinese.

>>146948148
You shouldn't, mandarin's usefulness is a tremendously retarded meme.
Drop chinese like a bag of shit it is and study god damn physics.

>>146948148
Learning Chinese to a professional level is very time consuming. University courses would only be a small supplement to your self-study (necessarily eating into your Japanese time). Even if you become one of the tiny portion of people who attempt to learn Chinese and succeed, it would be of marginal benefit unless you move to China. You do not need to speak Chinese to do business with Chinese companies. .If you want to live in Japan, you should obviously focus on Japanese.

yo I'm hitting a mental wall with learning kanji from anki, should I just ignore the limit and spend more time studying what I've already learned or continue to just do the daily set it allots to me?

Sounds convincing to me. I also already took mandarin 3 and passed the jlpt n4, so taking mandarin would purely be for college application. I just don't know how to convince the college counselor, physics has nothing to do with business. But, I think physics is necessary thing to know.

Thanks for the advice.

>>146949096
Convince them that you have connections at an international contracting company that's about to make a huge deal with an industrial design firm, and physics is your best option at having a unique skill at the employment level you plan on being at in the contracting company, since you can bring mandarin and japanese to fluent levels much more easily in free time than physics to academic levels.

>>146948951
If you are getting tired of anki, I honestly think you should start focusing on reading. I used tangorin example sentences. I found that if you read for a while, you'll naturally want to use ankii again because you'll develop the mood for wanting a memorization flash card system.

I think assimilation people learned most japanese by reading and listening a lot, but they use anki for words that show up like once a month.

Also, I can't take kanji studying seriously, unless I can actually write the character.

I'm not sure how I could fake having connections to a contracting company. But this sounds good to me. I was going to say something like physics helps you become a problem solver.

>>146943053
they either lie to themselves and don't press again when they got it wrong
or they already knew the material
either case it's a waste of time

>>146948148
You can't become a businessman in Japan unless you somehow study abroad, become fluent, and get scouted at a job fair during your senior year to secure a visa. Or, get a great job in the US which has an international department within Japan.

The only other way is to get a business visa, which amounts to about $50,000.

The chances of any of these are ridiculously tiny. There are lots of job offers on GaijinPot for engineers though, and it'd be a good way to get inside the country, and work your way up from there.

Thanks for reminding me of how hard what I'm thinking of is. So far, I took the jlpt n4, been to Japan for a month, and plane on doing 1 year abroad in my junior year of college.

My goal is the pass the jlpt n1 by junior year, and I really need to get a job so I can build my resume. My parents say I shouldn't get a job as a grocery bagger or games top employee till I'm accepted in a college.

I know a bunch of people irl really don't want me to go to pursue my japanese. But, I know I sound like a subhuman, but I've been screwed over by normies and norm values so much. I'm tired of having to satisfy normies. (Although, i do like social media) That, I'm just going to say fuck it, and do what makes me happy.

Besides, if my goal is not to get a job in japan, but to form a cartoon company and make Web animations. I'm pretty happy how I'm starting to get connections with more animators on tumblr!

I was depressed having my whole life being based being an starving artist, or trying to get some norm girlfriend, muh anime company is what keeps me going!

How long does it take to go from N3 to N2?
I know N5-N3 takes no time at all, but I want to take the N2 this December and I'm N3, according to JCAT, and I don't see a reason why I should go for the N3 first.

>>146954761
There's no real reason to ever take anything below N2. Unless you're just doing it for fun.

No job is ever going to have an N3 requirement because that's just daily conversational level, and they can check that by just having a conversation with you.

>>146954761
how long have you been studying?

>>146954761
you and i both know you cant read really much of anything thats on the test so the answer is it takes as long as it takes for you to pick c for every answer

>>146954880
A year and about 6 months.

>>146955008
then no, you won't make it to N2 by the end of the year unless you severely increase your daily study time.

>>146955031
To be fair, he is quite close to the very lowest level of N2 according to j-cat. Of course, I wouldn't do a test that I''d pass just barely unless I needed it for some reason.

Yeah, cause in reality you're maybe middle N4. That's how self-assesment works.

>>146956471
they are both easy games and the best part about them is they say the same shit over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over again so you dont have to worry about making sure you read something correctly because youll see it again

if yotsubato seems a little tricky then the rk07 library of games was made for a young adult such as yourself

>these two panels on these two consecutive pages with the same characters asking/replying with basically the same thing within like a minute of in-universe time

So did the author/editor just fuck up/not give a damn or am I missing something that makes this make more sense?

This image is on the front page. I get the gist of it being "someone as down to earth (plain? I've never seen 地味 used before so not sure) as me, being an idol is kinda unreasonable..."

What function does なんて serve here? I always tend to struggle with these.

Thanks.

They both are a bit hard, especially Umineko that also uses refined/classic japanese at times. Both are excellent, but you should start with Higurashi.

>>146959232
You're mixing up your personas

>>146956604

>>146956762
Both koreans with an agenda. Shitting on japanese popular titles and forcing korean memes here.

>>146959214
for someone as*
Also, if someone has a better translation for 地味な人 that would be cool. I'm thinking it means something like down to earth in terms of not being a flashy showy personality, but in English at least, describing yourself as down to earth is weird.

>>146959258
Gotcha, makes sense thanks.

>>146959351
地味 is "plain". As in not particularly beautiful or anything but not ugly either.

>>146959232
He's just a sperg who really loves using that word

I suggest filtering it or ignoring him altogether

>>146959214
an idol? me? that really rustles my 地味

>>146959351
ive no idea how you got "down to earth" that's literally not even closely related. it just means plain person, aka she has no idol qualities like being cute or charismatic at all. down to earth means having those, but being humble about them

>>146959214
"It's impossible for somebody as plain and drab as myself to ever be something like an idol." なんて is the "something like" and is used for emphasis. She's placing idol status on a much higher pedestal than herself.

And yes, 地味 is pretty much "down to earth" but in more of a "homely" sort of way.

>>146958424

If i wanted to say something like "Waiting for her," would it be "彼女に待っています"? Mainly wondering about the particle usage, but is 待っています the right verb or is it a different one since it's more like an "expecting" kind of wait?

it does. the scope of に's usage as a "target" particle is so broad (at least to me) i couldn't help but think it applied here. thanks

>>146955479
If you go to libgen ru you can search by language and find heaps of japanese books

>>146963013
btw u can use jisho to look up sentences with certain verbs
then youll quickly see which particle a verb usually takes
u can also google something like ”誰かを待つ”　ＡＮＤ　”誰かに待つ” and look at the results
the former 272000 the latter 4
just a few ways to find out on your own if ur stuck : ^)
also because of verbs like ageru and kureru waiting for me and waiting for you are often like
待ってくれる　ＡＮＤ　待ってあげる

>Yeah. I have some unfinished business first.
I don't see what's your problem.

>>146963967
'We' doesn't really work there given that he sends them back on the second page though, she would seem to be referring to him individually.

>>146963967
>I want to return as soon as possible but that must wait a little longer.
>Huh, master are you not going?
That still doesn't make sense anon. I think it's just poorly written in general though.

>>146965101
At first she was asking if their whole party can go back, he said no, then he said that they should return on their own and he will join them later.

>>146965154
He wants to return but he has some business. At first he thought about keeping them by his side, but then decided to send them back.

>>146958981

>Will you not yet return to the labyrinth?

>Ah, this is the point where I would like to, but I have no choice but to wait a while longer.


>You all should return to the labyrinth ahead of me.

>Hm? You won't be going back, master?
[since he specified he would like to, earlier]

>Ah.

And then in the next panel he says it's because he's got one last job left to do (presumably related to the powder they were just talking about?).

I don't see anything strange about this. I think you're just tripping over the fact that the art in the panels looks similar.

The fact is for that other demon character to be puzzled by the fact he isn't going along with them after he said he'd like to but has to wait a bit (implied that there's some business/etc) on the previous page does make it read strange.

Thank you. My reading comprehension is pretty much off while grinding.

With anki it seems like I'm relearning more cards than I'm actually learning. It also says that I've gotten only 29% correct (I assume this is pretty bad) should I lower the number of new cards I get each day or is this normal?

>>146969805
29% is ridiculously bad, but I'm guessing you've only been doing it for like a week so it's not that much of a surprise that you'd be so bad if you're pretty much an absolute beginner

I'd say lower the new cards until you get into the swing of things

>>146969805
>29%
What the fuck are you doing? Post anki stats.

Does あいつ usually translate to "she" ? I know it can be both, but does it lean more towards one side?

What am i reading, people?
Why are the headings Noun/Na-adj and Verb/I-adj?
I dont see the Na-adj or I-adj
I dont get it.
Substitute 「の」 or 「のだ」 for 「んだ」?
Substitute 「の」 for 「ん」 and 「の」 or 「のだ」 for 「んだ」?
Where's the substitution? Can someone explain what it would be without the substitution? I'm really not following the train of thought on the webpage

>>146970645
It's because nouns and na-adjectives are handled one way, i-adjectives and verbs are handled another. He gives examples only for one but you can substitute them.

飲むんだ、痛いんだ
学生なんだ、好きなんだ

In all of the examples, the ん is just a shortened form of の.

飲むんだ　→　飲むのだ exact same thing

I hate myself, I'm a lazy faggot.

If there was someone that would step on my dick and say "you're going to learn these 500 words until tomorrow and read for 5 hours" I would probably progress a lot more.

But nooo I don't have to worry about anything in life so I end up being a lazy piece of shit.

fuck me

>>146973386
I did Tae Kim a couple of years back during my first foray into trying to learn Japanese (which only lasted a few weeks) but I don't remember actually retaining much of it, is why I thought I'd try Genki this time.
>>146973382
I tried the whole "dive in way before you're ready and hope you come out knowing more when you get to the other side" approach, but honestly it was just kind of miserable. Admittedly I did it when I only knew about 500~ words and now I'm around 1600~ (not counting new/immature cards) so maybe I'd do better, but I'd like to at least get through the 2k deck before trying again, just so that I can enjoy it at least a LITTLE bit and not just be looking up literally every single word.

>>146973503
500 new words a day is way too much, not surprising you'd burn out at this rate. You're better off just doing a small, manageable amount each day but staying very consistent about it, you will learn better this way. Ignore all the people who try to dickwave about how fast they are, it's not a race and really doesn't matter how long it takes you.

You fucking stupid deepshit. Tell me exactly your level and I'll give you a schedule to follow.

>>146973697
Even Yotsubato is hard to understand starting out because the actual hardest part about understanding real Japanese is holding the whole sentence in your head at the same time.

Don't repeat the same mistakes everyday anon.
Learn from it.

How do you refer to a full length version of a song? Like "I like the full version of this song."

so go simpler than that the ideal is being able to understand basically everything while seeing a new thing only once in a while and being able to understand how it is used and gasp learning in context

>>146973845
Is it possible to generate kanji grid from two decks?

>I'm doing the 2k6k vocab deck for 6 months now and I'm halfway through Tae Kim.
Finish Tae Kim and start reading before you become a perma anki-drone

>>146973995
Yes, make a parent deck.

>>146973845
delete tae kim

Studying a language you don't like is the easiest way to start disliking language study in general. Also, Studying two languages at a time at the beginner level is a terrible idea.

You need to set yourself daily goals in order to discipline yourself. Create a I am a deepshit.txt on your desktop and note :

[ ] Core reps
[ ] Core x new cards
[ ] Tae Kim at least x2
[ ] 1 video of this a day :
www.gwu.edu/~eall/vjg/vjghomepage/vjghome.htm
[ ] 6 chapters of this a day
http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/watch/mg46919?track=ct_first (disable comment flood, bottom right, check the [...]
[ ] Watch anime at least x1

Check the [x] like this whenever day ends. Goal is to check them all. Start that way, increase the number of daily goals as you go on (i.e. : more chapters, more lessons, more reps, etc...). Keep in mind that what I put there isn't much, it's because I don't want to burn you right away.
You can keep history of these shits if you want, I recommend you to, so you can look back on how much you progressed. Rely on this first then become your own master.

I used minutes of my time to type this. Fucking do it now, then every day, or be a shit forever.

A few months ago, there was only Jamal. But now it isn't just him. Take a look at >>146967687 for example.

This clearly isn't Jamal; Jamal is a socially progressive fellow and dislikes racial slurs. This is his Achilles heel - he generally will not bite any sort of bait and just does his own thing. But if you post racially charged language he often will reply mocking you or asking you to stop. So the post I quoted is most certainly an imitator.

I don't hate Jamal as a person but he certainly has lowered the quality of DJT. His posts have more impact than they would normally because his posting quirks have inspired a league of imitators, right down to the 爆笑's. At least the lower average post quality means I spend less time shitposting here and more time reading.

>>146974238
Thank you senpai, I'll make you proud.
I'll start learning now.

>>146974941
It'd be nice if we actually had a mod who gave a shit, like the other general threads where any mildly offensive post is deleted within 30 seconds and the offender banned. It's a shame we don't draw waifus or discuss some trash show from 5 years ago endlessly.

Posting stats.

>>146974725
And what did you achieve aside from bringing the thread's quality down and wasting your own time away by acting negatively? What are you trying to cope with?

Reflect on yourself, just don't try to have the last word.

>>146974941
I noticed this, yes. A few years ago DJT wasn't that way, it's a bit sad to see quite frankly since I owe that place a lot.

You better.

I just started about two weeks ago.

I learned the Kana quickly enough, and now I'm using WaniKani to learn Kanji, while also using it to refresh my Kana.

I'm also currently watching the Irasshai educational series to try and get to grips with Grammar and basic situations, being a visual learner.

What have I done horribly wrong if anything?

>>146975085
answer your own question wrt to your post and to posts like >>146974443

>>146975209
wanikani, taking longer than 3 days for kana, doing retarded shit instead of reading taekim + core vocab

read the guide

>>146975209
Spending cash on wanikani?


>I'm also currently watching the Irasshai educational series to try and get to grips with Grammar and basic situations, being a visual learner.

Link?

>>146975235
Difference is I only come to DJT once or twice a month. You're here being trash every day.

But keep shielding your ego and reflecting anything I'm saying, surely that'll work out well for you.

I haven't spent money on it yet.

I learned the Kana in one night

>>146974089
That's not all, you also need to have the same field name for kanji.
