I haven't touched japanese in months

Twice before I have learned kana and then just lost interest before vocabulary and grammar. I am not an avid animu watcher but I want to get back into it, as I feel like it will help me become more determined in my nip studies. Is 45 min - 1 hour a day enough to get back into nip studies without burning out?

Hey /djt/, I can watch Precure without subs now (~85-95% comprehension). How long until I can watch the news? I'd say I'm at like 30-40% comprehension right now. I am trying to learn nip mostly through listening and immersion, seems to be working pretty well although it takes very long (I'm on year 2.5).

Anybody else learn nip like this?

So we are all learning Japanese in pursuit of top tier entertainment from what I see.
But how do you see yourself using Japanese in the future?

Will you be doing amateur translations of things you want people to enjoy? Going pro?
Moving to Japan to work there? Or maybe simply open a blog and talk about the latest eroge?

The tests cost money, I wouldn't take them if I wasn't sure I could pass. There are cheaper ways to simply test your own ability. I took the N2 to get "proof" that I knew some Japanese, which is important when applying for positions or such if I should ever want to do that.

In NHK news articles with videos, usually every word in the video also appears in the accompanying article, and sentences are often nearly identical. It's not direct subs but it makes it easy enough.

After making that post I flipped through some oneshot pages on MU and somewhat unsurprisingly pretty much every one I clicked on was translated.

I'd put it as the next one in line. But really as long as you eventually get to it, you won't regret it.

Download the Core2k/6k/10k deck and there is a field by default with all of these example sentences. It's actually an incredibly robust deck that is highly customisable with a range of different sorting indexes and information to pick and choose from for your own preferences. I'd recommend it over the Core6k deck which is cited in the Anki startup guide, even if you were only intending to use up to the 6k part.
From there it's only a matter of keeping the card styling or tweaking it to how you like it, arranging the fields you want to appear on the card how you want them, etc. all very straight forward things covered in the Anki manual.

>>149441044
A mining deck is an Anki deck that consists of unfamiliar words you come across while reading, if you use the Rikaisama auto-import function, it's as simple as hovering over the word on Firefox and pressing the R key.

>Is that possible?
Not using the same deck it isn't. You can alter the graduating steps on new cards but the way the SRS is programmed it doesn't allow you to pass a card outside of the learning phase in the same manner. Kind of defeats the purpose of how the SRS functions.
You'd have to write a plugin for that sort of functionality. Not sure what sort of access you get with Ankidroid to alter it, as it isn't the same as the desktop program.
>>
>>149441673
I think this word's actually more common than the word 木 with all the noobs posting it all the time
>>
>>149441683

AnkiDroid doesn't seem to have any plugin functionality unfortunately. I guess I could "undo review" after I'm done and repeat it. I just feel like it sticks better that way.

Doesn't undo review just go back prior to that card being tested, as in the next card you see will be that card anyway?
That aside, couldn't you also achieve the same sort of thing without having to constantly hit undo review, by making a duplicate of the same deck and reviewing that a period of time after the first one? You'd have to change the note type so the cards don't end up being put in the same deck, but it seems from here that spending a few minutes setting up that would be a lot easier in the longer run than having to try and gimmick your way around the SRS by hitting undo review all the time.
>>
>>149441975

I'll try that. Should be able to clone the deck in Ankidroid I think. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm trying to figure out my plan for going though kanji.

Clearly, Core2k is super popular for good reason, but I'm also looking into the possibility of studying individual kanji and then moving into vocab.

RtK looks interesting and seems to also be popular, but the lack of readings seems a little awkward, and the author's reasoning for not having them doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense.

Does studying one way lead to a "better" understanding of the language? Conversely, are there any major drawbacks to jumping straight into vocab versus taking the time to learn individual characters?

>Does studying one way lead to a "better" understanding of the language?
One leads you to know how to write at the cost of a lot of extra time (and needing to practice writing consistently to maintain your skill and actually learn how to write words instead of just individual kanji). Other than that, no.

If you are capable of just racing through Core, it is definitely what you should do. You can always learn to write later.

It makes perfect sense if you read the introduction to the first book and understand it's purpose. The second book of RtK is all about readings.
>Does studying one way lead to a "better" understanding of the language?
Yes and no, but it doesn't really make a lot of difference. Some approaches take a little more time for some aspects while taking a little less time for others.
>Conversely, are there any major drawbacks to jumping straight into vocab versus taking the time to learn individual characters?
Yes and no, but it doesn't really make a lot of difference. Some approaches take a little more time for some aspects while taking a little less time for others.

Pick something and stick with it progressively for a few months. Momentum is really more important than anything else as a beginner.

There is no clear best method. Try different things and see what works for you. The biggest drawback to jumping straight into vocab is probably that memorization is going to be a bitch for the first several thousand words, at least it was for me. Then I got used to it, and also there aren't as many new kanji all the time anymore.

I like just jumping into actual material and learning vocab in context, because then you get to actually read interesting shit right away, even if it's a struggle.

Bookmark the main page:

It's basically a digital copy of the main entries of each Basic, Intermediate and Advanced volumes of the A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar books.
Unfortunately only the Basic volume has all of the concept notes converted to search able text, whereas the other two volumes are still png images, so you can't copy/paste or search Ctrl+f and find anything tucked away in them like you can with the Basic book page. The anon who was maintaining the op site was the same anon who put that bunpou page together and it looks like work to continue changing the notes from image to digital text ceased altogether some time before the site went into a zip archive distribution.

First is "Large houses are great, but aren't they tough to clean?", second is "Large houses are great, but aren't they then tough to clean as a result?", or as the note suggests "Large houses are great, but I'd imagine they tough to clean as a result". More precise grammar, to my ear kinda stiff.

Personally, 「もう微妙すぎ!」

~たら is still more commonly heard that ~ば (at least in Kansai/Kinki region, filthy Kantou-jin go home), even though I suspect ~ば is more often appropriate for tentative form due to it being more speculative, although apparently only I give a shit.

Still, you had better to shutup the complaint and only to learn パターン such as you have been guidance.

Genuinely curious: why are you commenting upon non standard Japanese as though it were relevant here? This sounds more like a pointless namedrop to pad out your post more than anything else.

>Those two が like that are annoying
Do you mean the ければ usage as the second or the ば after the は~が construction?
If those annoyed you then perhaps you are not up to the level assumed in the textbook.

>>149446539
It's an important distinction to make though, between が used as a conjunction and used as a subject marker. It's much easier to distinguish between the two in speech though, seeing as the former has a rising intonation, so listening comprehension will most likely be easier.

>>149446768
>why are you commenting upon non standard Japanese as though it were relevant here?
1) It's relevant seeing as it's a Japanese thread and Kansai-ben is most recognisable dialect, even used by people out of Kansai for humourous effect because it's expressive. It even appears in anime, and because there is relatively little information on Kansai-ben available for English speakers, it may be particularly useful.
2) I'm qualifying my opinion because I have particularly regional experience and this may not be true for all of Japan, especially in Tokyo. It may very well be considered not only incorrect, but even worse 「いなかっぽい」, and therefore highly inadvisable.
2) I spent the majority of my time living in Kyoto, and I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about this issue because everyone outside Kinki degrades Kansai-ben as crude, whereas in fact it's very refined in Kyoto. I'm proud of my dialect.

Just finished reading ひとりぼっちの○○生活 and 三ツ星カラーズ a couple of days ago and would heavily recommend them to anyone looking for two relaxing but funny and damn adorable manga to read. So far there are only 2 and 3 volumes published, respectively, so it isn't a huge time investment. If you were to read them, read 三ツ星カラーズ first. It has furigana whereas the other is a 四コマ without furigana.
The character designs are similar and you can see cute similarities between some of the characters, and other minor things, which makes it nice to read them both one after the other. Same mangaka.
I would put the difficulty of 三ツ星カラーズ somewhat above よつばと! and that of ひとりぼっちの○○生活 around 苺ましまろ, for reference. Also, the character designs and some of the interactions seem rather inspired by 苺ましまろ, with the character designs you'd think almost drawn by ばらスィー in the latest volume of 苺ましまろ.

ひとりぼっちの○○生活 has dorky pun names, which is a huge plus because I love that shit, like
>一里ぼっち(ひとり ぼっち)
>砂尾なこ(すなお なこ)
>本庄アル(ほんしょう アル)
>ソトカ・ラキター (gaijin character)
>押江照代(おしえ てるよ)

Yes, he did. His post was completely fucking pointless. It'd be the equivalent of someone attending a cooking show shoot, and when the host brings up one ingredient or cooking method, briefly noting that there are alternatives, that one retarded immediately stands up and goes "hurr duurrr, you don't need that to make that dish, there are alternatives, you faggot."

>>149452569
Depends. I've said this before but as long as you learn N+1 stuff at a reasonable pace you'll make good progress. The rest doesn't matter so much. Is the grammar slightly difficult or the vocab slightly difficult? Work to understand all of it. Is it all extremely difficult? Just get the gist. Are you skipping way too much and finding everything too hard? Read something easy (unless you're already reading hanahira or NHK new easy in which case git gud)

If you're reading something you care about you'll be forced to fully understand a decent chunk of stuff anyway if you want to follow the story.

Doesn't seem any more or less difficult than 狼と香辛料, but I've never seen a similar comparison.

Isn't that the same for almost any written fictional work? The author's idiolect, isn't it? I see the same thing with manga and the same thing with English novels. The 涼宮ハルヒ books seem to do that sort of thing pretty heavily. I don't know, it doesn't sound at all convincing to be honest.

I've been watching some anime without subtitles, I don't understand more than half things and get this feeling of wanting to kill myself, should I force myself to keep watching or should I get a bigger vocabulary first, I've got around 2000-2500 mature words by the way.

That's silly anon. If you can't even read the subtitles how do you expect to understand whats going on without them. At the very least, download the (japanese) subs file, give it a good read through while mining all the words, and then once the words are at like 10 day intervals then watch the episode.

Personally though I wouldn't touch anything that doesn't allow text hooking unless I had at least 4k words.

After watching an episode, go through the japanese subtitles. See if you can understand in written form what you couldn't understand while listening. Once you've determined whether your issues were with unknown or with unrecognized vocabulary, you'll know whether you need to increase your vocab or your listening comprehension.

You're probably getting used to them. Doesn't take as long as you think it would when it comes to manga because you sort of see handwritten scrawl so often.

>should I force myself to keep watching or should I get a bigger vocabulary first, I've got around 2000-2500 mature words by the way.
Getting more words probably isn't going to be effective unless you mean something like all of Core10k. You're probably much better off targeting the anime you are watching speficially by either reading the manga first, so you are already familiar with a lot of the vocab which is going to be used; grabbing jp subtitles and using that to study the vocab of in Anki; or both.
There are loads of blogs out there where a Japanese will go out and basically dump entire episode scripts along with a million images that can be very useful for getting unknown vocab specifically for the thing you want to understand.

Going up to 4-5k is definitely pretty useful.

Yeah, maybe only half of those will appear in your first anime series but that's still pretty high effectiveness considering you had to do NO work to actually find the words and make cards out of them.

I think you might as well keep doing Core until you actually feel like the words are no longer useful. Once motivation stops, that's when it's time to mine.

Is there an option in anki to scramble the review order for the cards you're on today?

I've found that when I'm doing my reviews it's mirroring the order that I learnt them. So old cards first and then my last bunch of cards are all ones I've learnt in the past few days.

It feels like I'm cheating as it's narrowing down the pool of words I need to remember them from.

Different countries have different common phraseology and is when you're online it isn't always safe to make assumptions about connotative phrases and their intended meaning. That is why I specifically referenced one of the common connotations when asking for clarity.

Being Norwegian, English is essentially my fourth language, but I'm pretty sure that idiom is only ever used in one context and doesn't have different meanings in each English speaking country. Either way, in the context of that trainwreck of an argument, its intended meaning should be clear.

Sure it does. I average 6 minutes for 100 cards a day. That's 4 seconds per card. So 24 minutes for the reviews and 6 minutes spare to learn the new ones. New cards generally take me a bit longer because I try to recall related words, same-kanji words etc.

It's set at 60 seconds, which is default I think? Never bothered changing that option. Either way, I usually answer mined words within 3-5 seconds, and for Core cards I listen to the entire audio but I already know pretty much all the words because I studied kanji.

I usually press 2 for new cards on the first pass. That means I have to press 2 or 3 twice for every card, i.e. 80 times.

I don't really get how people get those insane anki times. My retention is pretty alright, but I actually need to look at the cards for more than a few seconds to memorize them. I haven't done RTK or anything so maybe that's it

He's probably done RTK or (equivalent) before, so it's just a matter of learning the reading, which is often predictable from previous known words incorporating the same Kanji. Getting through 40 new words in 6 minutes is still tough, but it's very possible.

This is day _3 of Anki. Is this normal? I'm having the most trouble remembering the new ones. I feel like it's working because I'm being thorough, I do recognise the previous characters so far but the new ones take me fucking forever to get a basic understanding of. I know everyone learns differently etc etc but since I know it's only going to pick up I do feel a bit worried

Literally the only difference it makes is if you get to see the card 2 or 3 times on the first day. There is literally nothing wrong with good-ing a card the first time you see it if you suspect the card won't give you any problems short-term. I only 1 new cards when they are particularily tricky. Hitting 2-2 or 1-2-2 puts the card at the exact same interval/ease.

>>149462080
Your rate is fine, speed comes with reading and anki-ing more. RTK or learning radicals/to write in general helps with first-time learning of a word.
>>
>>149462181
>Getting through 40 new words in 6 minutes is still tough, but it's very possible.
That's 9 seconds per card. During which you'll need to learn the reading, definition and reviews of it.

One of the speed anki anons has already said he mashes good on the card regardless so we're not really playing with the same rules.

Learn how anki works you idiot, see my post here: >>149462265

It's not "good regardless", it's good the first time you see a new card. All it does is skip having to see the same new card 3 times on the first day. Instead you see it twice. If this had any effect on whether I remember the card or not I wouldn't have 90% retention on day 2. But I do.

>>

No, you already take care of that when you mine the card.

The "new" cards in anki should just be you thinking "What was this again? Oh I remember" and then you review them.

Like the other anon, I also learned the Kanji before diving into vocab, and I also add 40 new words a day, which takes me about 17 minutes. Then again, I'm only in the second half of Core2k, so most of the Kanji readings are new to me. This will gradually change the farther I progress into Core6k, so I expect to become much quicker as time goes on.

I don't think the claim of 40 new words per 6 minutes remotely implausible, provided one has learned the Kanji beforehand, and one is a good bit into the Core deck.

One obviously cannot expect to be as fast after diving straight into vocab, but then again, this provides a couple months headstart over the guy starting with Kanji, so it might sort of balance out in the end.

In regular usage it's gonna be 明日 95% of the time. 明日 is used a lot in poetry, song, etc. an みょうにち is used in literature and very formal contexts.

I have been studying Japanese for a few years now, and there are a lot of words i have learned through other means. Rosetta Stone, iKnow, Japanesepod101.com.

and i've learned a lot of grammar and helpful things. But i would go back and forget vocabulary so much. I never felt like i owned the words after i learned them, despite how many times i went over and over and over them again.

But with this, it challenges me, it consistently challenges me, and I am more comfortable with the 300+ words i've learned in the last few weeks, than a lot of the words i thought that i had a good handle on before i signed up here.

I'm still on the free trial, but i guarantee as soon as it's time and i've earned my way out of the free portion. I'm going to keep on going until i get to level 60! Can't wait to really dig into this!

I went through this phase not long ago. I studied katakana for a little bit every day once again and loaded a kana deck in anki and since then I haven't had any problem. Sure it was pretty shameful but it was worth it.

I don't think it's necessarily weird though, as we've encountered way less katakana than hiragana and usually put so much effort into Kanji/vocab our brain didn't have katakana has the highest priority.

N1 is both unnecessary (rarely used grammar) and insufficient (no keigo or speaking).

Someone with N2 and a science degree could easily pass probation here as long as they weren't a stuttering clown and can write emails. An otherwise-smart-and-likable N3 would need to have the training materials translated but would be dragged up to N2-level after a month just from the sheer daily immersion alone.

Usually, assuming you're actually good at Japanese and otherwise a fit for the position:

Being able to put together your resume in natural-looking Japanese is enough for them to email you.
Being able to communicate with them over email in Japanese is enough for them to phone you.
Being able to converse over the phone in Japanese is enough for them to offer you an interview.
Being able to handle an interview in Japanese is a far more convincing display of competence than any qualification.

Japanese language ability aside, nobody's going to hire you based on your resume alone. That's why everyone gradually scales-up from least costly to most costly methods of communication.

A "thank you for your interest" form letter hardly costs anything, and getting an intern from HR to phone you up and make sure you can actually speak Japanese doesn't cost a huge amount more.

>japanese dub of literally ANY of the Harry Potter movies

No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The Japanese translations of the Harry Potter movies were done by 戸田奈津子, who is widely regarded as one of the worst translators in the history of the profession.

Not only do her translations use exceptionally unnatural Japanese, they are also rife with glaring errors.

After she translated the first Lord of the Rings movie, there was a massive outcry from fans and a petition to Peter Jackson himself that resulted in a different translator for the second two movies.

The fact that she's so regularly picked to translate big-name movies in Japan would be a joke if it weren't for the extent to which it ruins the experience for so many Japanese moviegoers.


Here are a few examples:

As long as you're not the type of person who'd interrupt a training session to correct someone's kanji, you'd be considered here (but probably dropped on flight risk due to non-science major).

Once you get beyond the language barrier, the worries of a Japanese interviewer are pretty much almost identical to a western one, plus or minus xenophobia.

You wouldn't want to work here anyway. Go teach or something.

It does when you consider that 音読み is generally used in words originally loaned from Chinese.

If that doesn't make it any clearer, think about how 訓読み is generally used in words with 送り仮名, which means they're obviously not of Chinese origin since Chinese doesn't have hiragana.

It's a shame. Though, just out of curiosity, I'd love to try watching one...
Thank you for the information, anyway.

So in this case you mean that けん is the sound coming from China right?
>>
>>149468873
Correct.

Of course, in practice it's very fuzzy. The readings come from various different Chinese dialects, some of which may or may not still exist.
Other Kanji came via Korea, after they'd already been changed to match Korean phonology.

The point is that they're the sounds that came with the characters, not the sounds that the Japanese added later.

FACK YAROU, this makes me read her meme translations though

Yeah I get it, that's a good way to remember which is which. Though I can't help thinking I may have deducted the same thing in the past but still ended up forgetting about it. We'll see.

As others said it's not exactly critical knowledge as long as it doesn't impair my reading and comprehension skills.

it's something that could easily be deduced on pattern recognition, the fact that you couldn't just says that you haven't encountered nearly enough japanese

By the way, how does everyone else use the repeat function with Genki?
Do you just choose "again" with any word you get wrong, or do you mostly use the "hard" option instead so that they'll crop up in a day or 2?

Do you mean Anki?

I'd choose "again" on those which i don't recognise, remember the meaning of and remember any readings at all.

If I know the word but cant remember the readings, it's hard.

If I remember the word, meaning and some readings then good.

obviously if i remember everything or almost everything then it's easy.
