I'll ask again, how do I add stuff with Raikasama?

I get this error

>>149401226
Go to your deck and click 'Add' and add a new card manually. Then try again. If that doesn't work post a screenshot of the Add screen.

>>149401226
Open anki. Click on add a card to any deck. On the very top there should be "type". Click on type button. Select the type to match what you configured on rikaisama. Most likely Japanese Copy. Import.

>>149401444

>>149401459
>>149401466
Ok, I managed to add>>149401406 but then it doesn't appear in the deck I created.

What's up with that?

>>149401659
Nigga just look for the card on anki browser and figure out which deck it went to.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot, I didn't put anything in the card front.

Any idea why it does put the meaning? Or I need to put it on my own?

>>149401866
Type should probably be Japanese 81175 and not Japanese Copy as I said before.

Also make sure you have the deck already opened on anki as you click to import.

I never used this shit before I just tried out now and it works.

replace with kanji y/n?

>>149402215
Well then I don't know. Just search the types you DO have till you find one that fits whatever you saved on rikaisama options.

Alternatively, go to rikaisama options and set the types there to whatever fits the type on your anki.

>>149402291
Yeah, I did that. I can import stuff now.

But the meaning doesn't get save, I dunno why.

>>149402325
Nevermind, it works not.

I just copied $d$t$r$t$n from Raikasama site instead of the default one.

Thanks for the help guys.

You'd have to be disabled in the first place to use JFZ, though.

The やす attached at the end of 動き acts like やすい (易い), correct? So, the whole "動きやすそうな" would translate to something like "it seems easy to move"?

>not learning kanji
Maybe if all you want is the speaking form. Personally I like learning kanji since it not only lets you learn vocab but it creates the number of connections between various things. For example the other day someone was talking about 体育の日 and without even knowing what 体育meant I figured it out because I had learned the kanji for education and body weight.

>>149405984
both are pretty shitty imao.

Why not use Genki and then aiatij and tobira?

>>149406124
If you're going to learn the Hirogoranas and Katatafish, make sure to do so progressively. You're bound for deきru.

>>149406219
Will do, do you have any advice for learning romanjis?

>>149406214
whats aijitaj

>>149406252
That's high level stuff. For the time being, use google translate and copy it into a text-to-voice program.

>>149406202
Even if you didn't learn kanji you would have notice by knowing stuff like 体、 団体、育つ、　保育園, ect`...

learning kanji alone is a waste of time, just knowing vocab will give you the kanji.

>>149406214
Genki is made for people in classrooms man. It goes at snailpace, takes ages to get anywhere.

The JPFZ books suffer from the same snail problem, but the online courses don't.

>>149406377
>It goes at snailpace, takes ages to get anywhere.
Read faster?

>>149406292
Are you sure? My tomodatchi (friend) told me that his sensey (teacher) uses romanjis in his class, and he's still at a beginner level.

>>149406407
its ok programming is magnitudes easier than trying to learn Japanese

>>149406377
no. each books are only 250 pages long, and beside they contain vocab/ grammar/ kanji/ and exercices.
It's perfect to reach N4 in no time.

>>149406399
Sure thing. Also, make sure to ask your classmate how was his day (in Japanese!)! You guys should take turns talking about your weekend too!

>>149406401
That's why he's still a beginner. Reading anything in Japanese at all as a beginner is too stressful (even Rooumandjiins), so the best approach is to use text-to-voice and google translate until you're comfortable with the way the language works. I call it progressive learning. I have 60 whole Kanjis in my Anki deck. Trust me.

>>149406369
well yea you don't learn only the kanji, that's straight dumb. The various Kana that have specific readings like 予and 預 share 予 and the sound. Personally I don't see a reason not to learn Kanji and vocab simultaneously.

>>149406548

>>149406648
Yea in that case. But knowing 預 has the same reading isn't obvious.

>>149406693
Tbh beside 預金 預ける I don't think I don't really know any other words using this kanji so I don't really care

Anyone got any good japanese youtubers you like to watch?

I'm not big into blogshit but I'd enjoy the listening practice.

>>149406399
The class activities in Genki are incredibly redundant, though. They're just there to give you listening and speaking practice. You don't miss out on anything by skipping them as a self-learner. Shouldn't take a NEET more than 2 months to get through both of them with full comprehension.

The JFZ books aren't for serious learners, and the author doesn't respect his students enough to expect them to know kana up until the fourth fucking book, and still just barely covers what Genki does, despite being nearly 3 times as long. The problem with online courses is that they don't offer enough practice to solidify what they teach.

>>149407425
This is where JFZ/George actually excels. Huge backlog of useful and entertaining content for listening comprehension with actual natives.

How do you guys remember long words like 交通事故?

Do you try to memorize all the kanji involved and then put them together into the one word?

>>149407425

Niptube is superior because scrolling comments force you to read faster. Regardless, instead of asking for recommendations you should search for people who cover things you're interested/knowledgeable in. I like カメ五郎 but someone who isn't /out/ would probably find his videos boring.

She could be making fun of you or complimenting you. We're not going to be able to break down subtext on a text board.

Does な always have to be used at the end of a sentence in order to add emphasis? I've seen な used in sentences where the sentence doesn't really work if な is anything other than a particle, but I don't know what it's function is particularly.

>>149410042
Chad, shouldn't you be posting dick pics on /soc/?

>>149410261
な at the end of the sentence is usually a more manly tier ね. The meaning isn't directly the same but you can think of it like that until you read more and understand it yourself. There's also like するな which is different and is like telling someone not to do something

>>149410295
I'm not talking about situations where な is at the end of a sentence, sometimes I see it in the middle of sentences, and I'm 100% positive it has to be a particle because the words don't end up fitting if it isn't. I just don't know what it's function is.

I'd seriously consider doing Kanji study, else you risk finding that you were just skating by via a sort of 'gestalt' perception which allowed you to correctly identify a word from amongst the limited set in your deck, but completely fails you when there's so much as a change of fonts, nevermind reading a text in the wild where each Kanji might belong to any one of tens of thousands of words constituted by Kanji any one of which might be one of several highly similar ones, and you can no longer go:

>Hmm, this kinds looks like it might be that one from amongst the couple hundred I've seen so far in my deck, so it's probably that one.

Kanji study takes just 2-4 months and makes subsequent vocab aquisition so much faster and surer that you might even finish your Core6k sooner than you would otherwise.

For what it's worth, I was in exactly your situation a couple of months ago, and I'm really glad I choose to halt my Core6K and go through KKLC instead.

>Could you outline your idea of kanji study and the format of a card type for studying kanji?
I mean working through a mnemonics-based course like RTK, KKLC (which I'm partial to) or even Wanikani™®$$ (the Anki deck) which teaches you to associate Kanji with keyword(s) which roughly capture their meaning.

I'd use simple recognition cards which test from Kanji to keyword(s). Don't bother learning the readings, those come with vocab.

>>149411092
>which test from Kanji to keyword(s)
What is the point of doing that?

>>149411092
>recognition cards which test from Kanji to keyword(s).
That sounds terrible and is not different than just straight up learning words -- okay, you're looking at one kanji versus multiple sometimes. Still -- if you're going to do kanji study to get a better feel for them, you need to go keyword to kanji.

>>149411092
How many cards did you go through a day and how dedicated were you to studying? Does it teach you to write the kanji as well?

KKLC seems like the alternative to RTK I've been looking for.

>>149411164
>Does it teach you to write the kanji as well?
Not if you go from kanji to keyword.

>>149411228
Have you done keyword to kanji? I tried it briefly and found that it took me forever to get all my reviews done.

>>149411353
>Have you done keyword to kanji?
That's the entire point of a mnemonic approach.

>>149411133
>>149411161
Going from Kanji to keyword is teaches you to uniquely identify each Kanji without mixing them up, and often allows you to guess the meaning of new vocab outright or, failing that, usually provides a mnemonic hook which makes learning it much easier.

>>149411164
I went through KKLC at about 50 Kanji per day, which took me about 2-3 hours (including reviews). I can write some, not all, depending on how complex the individual mnemonic units ('radicals') are; but I focused on recognition and speed so I could proceed with vocab study.

Wheras before learning 30 words a day was a struggle, the same time investment effort now yields 50 per day and feels much less draining.

>>149411092
I wouldn't really bundle WK together with those in that sense. It's very different, as it focuses on fully teaching you the kanji all at once and all of its most relevant meanings and readings, and it does so by giving you 10 to 15 vocab per kanji. Doesn't show stroke order or anything, either.

Seeing as the mnemonic of each Kanji derives from its constituent parts, and seeing as the keywords derive from the mnemonics, it's rather obvious why going Kanji to Keyword creates a unique place in one's mind for each Kanji, and thus naturally prevents mixups.

This might surprise you, but neither does reading. Nor speaking. Nor listening. The only reason to go keyword to Kanji is to learn to write as you learn the Kanji-keyword associations, which is idiotic as writing Kanji is time consuming, worthless for just about anybody, and much easier to learn after you're a fluent reader/listener instead of before.

>you might as well just go straight to memorizing the Japanese reading
Why waste one's time doing that during Kanji study instead of learning readings through vocab after Kanji study has made it easy to correctly identify words via Kanji and remember their meanings via the keywords?

I'm sorry your goldfish-like memory prevents you from remembering that this whole discussion was kicked off because an anon was seeking a solution for his troubles with compound words caused by an inability to correctly identify their consituents, even if he had seen them before, e.g. 事故 in 交通事故.

There's something that I don't have really clear here.

>それは指示変異魔獣に対抗する力を得るため

According to the previous bubble, Homura is asking about her stolen emotions, and here the fake Homu responds "That was (done) in order to identify the opposing power in the rogue Wraiths"?

Also, is のち=subsequently?

>>149413662
I guess silent wasn't the right word but in my mind I'm thinking "tsu" when I write it but the word doesn't have tsu in it. Just the stressed consonant sound

I've started listening to BGMs during the kanji deck.

It makes things quite a lot more bearable. They're also good in that they're not so intrusive that they make it hard to concentrate.

>>149414768
What did he mean by this?

>>149414426
I played some 30 hours worth of actual playtime (70 or so in reality) of DQ7 (3DS version). I'm not really sure about the difficulty, I've been playing (well, stopped some 2 months ago I guess) it basically since I started reading (only a few minutes/an hour per day though).
I guess the grammar is fairly easy, though I must have mined literally thousands of words from it so there's a ton of vocabulary to be learned. The convenient thing is it has furigana instead of being kana only or kanji with no furigana.
What's off-putting from the dialogue is that it's very stiff and cliche.

To be honest DQ7 bored me to death, I started DQ8 and it's looking better (it's also got some actual difficulty for fuck's sake). But I've had more fun playing other things.
If you wanna play with kana only and have fun at the same time MOTHER 2 is probably better, I haven't played it in japanese yet though.

>>149414896
kana only is some level N0 shit, dude. 超難しい

>>149414853

>>149414896
Nah, I'm fine with Kanji. Rather kana only would kill me and any desire to read it.

I've already played DQ8 and kinda want to try something else. So I'd rather take 7 or 4

Are the Pokemon games kana only?

>>149415074
Gen 1-4: yes
Gen 5: optional
Gen 6: no

>>149415074
They added an option for kanji around Gen 6. There's still spaces between words and an annoying amount of words that should be in kanji but are still in kana for some reason so it's a bit of a pain in the ass to read anyway.

I am learning Japanese to read things mostly so that's fine by me.

>>149417313
>what else is like that?

I don't have my old N1 textbook handy but I remember the majority of expressions in that never ever coming up "in the wild" save for a select few. かいなか is used fairly often though, I don't know what the other one is, unless you mean 名乗る which is a common word.

>>149417330
That's the point. They don't come up in things you read either. Literally the only time I can remember encountering がてら in native material was when Takeuchi P said it once in the Im@s anime and it made such a strong impression on me that I still remember it despite forgetting everything else about that show.

>>149417313
>か否か
I see this often as か否かを判断する

It depends on the author though. Sometimes you read something and that persons writing style involves using the same expressions over and over again.

>>149417348
And to clarify, I'm not trying to say N1 is a super high level that you don't need to attain to be fluent, that's completely false. I'm saying that the material N1 handles is handpicked in a bizarre manner because there's a ton of extremely formal expressions you'll never use or hear unless you become the Emperor's bodyguard or some shit and then a fuckton of more common expressions that are not covered at all and that you HAVE to pick up by reading.

Feeling lazy and since I'm still a beginner all I can do is watch some Pokemon videos and randomly look up words and hope they stick

Drop computer science and become neet full time learning japanese. At least thats what I did.

>>149418255
I actually felt like doing that before, but I'm so close to finishing my degree it's not worth it.

Learning Japanese is so much more fun though.

>he dropped computer science too
I'm glad I'm not alone, need to get on an apprenticeship or some shit so I can live on my own though, being a neet isn't an option for me.

>being a neet isn't an option for me.
Why the fuck did you drop it then? I can't think of much dumber than dropping a course if you don't have a backup.

>>149418416
I don't see how scrounging off your parents is a "backup" desu.

>>149418255
>At least thats what I did.
Don't feel too proud.
There are people who got master degrees and M.D.s and still became good at Japanese during their studies.

>>149418435
I don't see how living in a room they wouldn't use anyway is scrounging, but then I actually bring something to the table.

Intelligence, nihilism, and a wicked sense of humor.
