You should if it's not excessively bothersome.

If you want better explanations then just add the J-J dictionary entries as your definitions instead of the EDICT ones. Most of the time I don't really look at the back anyway except to check the reading.

Has anyone here looked into getting a Japanese Kindle?

>>149626473
Specifically a Japanese one for the increased memory (if that still happens)?

If not for the memory, I think you can buy any kindle that is unregistered (so from a brick and mortar shop, not Amazon) and can choose what region/language you want to set it up as.

The retards who flood in the day before the exam for last minute "revision" aren't here yet, so you'll find none here. Paying the 50 bucks it costs to sit the exam is a joke, never-mind all the money you must have spent just to get to a venue.

>>149628261
It's a nice way to test yourself, measure your progress and get an official benchmark.

Still, given the travel costs mentioned probably not worth it unless it's for a job / N1.

Anon fagposting about his test aside, I'd recommend anyone who is serious about taking the 日本語能力試験 to do it during a planned holiday to Japan instead of making travelling to Japan to shit in a shitty hot little room with tiny desks for a handful of hours the overall memorable thing, because that's a good way to kill any impression of a nation.
At worst it's one shitty morning/afternoon out of a day that can be washed away with cheap alcohol afterwards.

https://jlpt.jp/e/application/overseas_list.html
Some countries only hold them once a year at certain venues, and if you're planning to go to Japan, it would make sense to take advantage of taking the test while you are over there. Two birds, one stone, and all that.

Was this book written in the 1700s?

>>149629062
Does your vocabulary comprise around 1700 words?

>>149629062
It was fortunately or unfortunately written by someone more involved with academia than not, meaning it fell into the same sort of trappings that a lot of these sort of things fall into: written from an audience under the assumption that they are educated and relatively well read.
To put it bluntly: people don't read books any more like they did in the past.

>>149629099
Sorry for not knowing such obvious words as "hawser", "darning" and "acquiesce"

>>149629187

I'm a very well read native English speaker and I didn't know the first two. Someone that reads early 20th century adventure novels would probably know them.

Even being a little rare 'acquiesce' is pretty easy, with it having a latin root and all. Pretty much the same as 'acquire'.

If you are using the sixth edition pdf you should be able to accurately highlight and copy/paste text from it. Shove those words you don't know into http://www.thesaurus.com/ and adjust your mnemonics or whatever you are using it for, accordingly. Make it easier for yourself.

That or look for ebook versions from Amazon or whatever because they're usually cheap as fuck, if they have digital versions, considering what you get (depending on the book it might be fucking months worth of reading) and places like Rakuten and Amazon has easy to strip DRM.

I consider myself as having native level English proficiency but I'm absolutely certain there will always be words I don't know, there's literally over 1 million English words in existence and native speakers know about ~50,000 on average apparently. That's just 5% of all words.

>>149629716
I'm a native English speaker and in all those vocab guessing tests i get <20,000 or <15,000. I don't know if it's inaccurate. Maybe it only tests for literary words in books and stuff. I'm certain I know a shit tonne of technical vocab for a lot of things

Is it ever too early to start reading?

>>149629765
When you know 0 words and no grammar at all

>>149629750
It doesn't really matter if you've no problem communicating with people around you (unless you're trying to become a writer). That said it's never a bad thing to enrich your vocabulary by reading.

Words are nice but the world only really cares about the words they want to hear.

Isn't this guys translation completely off? It sounds like the 言われても（困ります）, so "to call them wings after all this time" or "it's too late to call them wings". I might be wrong too, just curious what you guys think on ambitious titles like this

>>149630104
"Even if they're called wings now... (there's no point)"

>>149630095
Fire it up sometime if you ever get the chance.
It still has a few limewire days files floating around. You know the ones.

>>149630104
I believe you meant "ambiguous". Also, most book titles aren't translated literally, so it's more likely that he simply changed the title rather than getting it wrong.

>>149630104
A key difference between translators and learners is that learners want to understand everything within it's original context whereas translators are given the task of drawing meaning out and placing it outside of the original context.

>>149630116

>>149630126
Well he changed the meaning entirely which is a no-go. It went from a melancholic/regretful tone to a monotone statement.

>>149630183
>which is a no-go
Not really the case, most translators are fine with changing titles completely in cases where doing so would render the book more relatable to readers and thus sell more. I'm not sure if this was the case here though.

>>149630183
>Well he changed the meaning
No he didn't.
Bloody learners, I swear.

>>149630210
Well that is a marketing ploy rather than good translation conveying authors intent, so I think it is wrong. Anyhow that guy is just someone random on twitter who wanted to convey the title to his followers, not the books translator.
>>149630228
Not an argument and you're wrong.

>>149630147

このワシが日本語を教えて頂きたい宜しくお願い致します！

Been organizing my doujin folder and I can't find the release date of one of my doujins; is there a good website with these things out there?

Doujin is [秋月伊槻] スイッチHスケッチ (イビツナ彼女は年中「発情期!!」)
it's not on panda look elsewhere if you want it.

>>149631124
If you're not doing the teaching, why is このワシ the subject?

Does anyone know how I get anki to display my core vocab with my stroke order font?
Only the word and not the example sentence etc.

By the time you reach the advanced kanji, you should be able to search for them yourself via radicals or stroke order, no?

Yes, it sort of defeats the purpose of a pre-made deck, and will take longer, BUT at least in going through the trouble you will remember them better. So it's worth the effort unless you have literally zero time. In which case, what the hell are you doing studying Japanese in the first place?

I'm never going to learn Japanese. I want to die.

Anyone can make it if they put the effort in. You're not born with willpower anymore than weight lifters somehow pop out of their mothers already jacked up and with massive muscles on their tiny little bodies. You develop willpower by forcing yourself to do something even when you don't feel like doing it. That's all it is.

If I can work out 6 days a week for three years without missing a single session, I should be able to learn a language. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I've been trying for like six years.

>>149633351
Maybe you're not pushing yourself hard enough? If you read grammar guides and then keep hammering native material into your head then you will inevitably learn the language

I usually study several hours a day. Grammar studies, anki reps, and reading whatever Japanese material I can get my hands on. Sometimes more.

I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. After a few weeks of this I usually just want to shoot myself.

>>149633468
So why do you think you're not learning the language? Sounds like you're doing fine, I'd imagine you're just frustrated so you're being melodramatic, I've been there many times

Re-assess your goals, if they're incredibly vague then you'll never feel like you've accomplished anything. What does "fluent" mean to you, what steps will you take to reach it, how will you assess your progress?

Working out consistently proves that you can stick to a schedule and achieve results. You know this as a fact, so there's no reason to not be confident about your abilities.

Physical exercise is a hell of a lot more tangible than self study; you feel the soreness after a workout and know that results will come eventually. Whereas studying a grammar point here and there, and a smattering of vocab / kanji won't really make you instantly feel "I've improved" a lot of the time, it's a hell of a lot more fuzzy and long term project.

Set small goals and reward yourself when you reach them, instead of beating yourself up over "I haven't even reached X yet".

After some time, crack open a random text of a totally foreign language to you (russian? korean?) and see how trying to read that feels. Then go back and try to read something random in Japanese. I guarantee you that your eyes will be opened after that.

I'm not learning the language because after a few weeks the stress and anxiety pushes me over the edge and I stop studying, and when I pick it back up however many months later I need to relearn what I've already gone over. I make no progress.

>>149633468
Maybe don't spend several fucking hours a day on it? Not everyone has autism or access to amphetamines, you can slowly increase over time. Start with the basics, then when you get comfy start reading basic shit. If you're burning out after a few weeks, you're never going to get there, you can have the best pace in the world but if you fall over at the first checkpoint you're never going to win a marathon.

Try the pomodoro technique, and stop pressuring yourself to go super fast.

Speed and efficiency are good, but not if they're making you stop. Even the slowest of slow snail paces is better than no progress at all.

The end of the day, language learning is about consistency, not speed.

Even when I don't spend much time studying I still end up wanting to die. Doing nearly anything puts so much stress on me that I break down and give up whenever I pick up anything as a hobby.

I don't know why. I've tried everything. I've been on medication for a few years now and it doesn't help. I've gone to a therapist, and a hypnotist, and tried everything you could possibly think of to get rid of these terrible anxieties, but nothing helps. I don't know what to do.

That's way beyond the scope of this thread.

You sound like you're trying to fix the problem, just haven't hit on the right solution for yourself yet? Take care of yourself and maybe try a different med with advice from a doc? (I have no idea how dangerous that is)

Either way, my first advice still stands. Do your reps! Even if everything else in your life is uncertain, you WILL learn Japanese if you keep on that path. Just stop trying to bulldoze through, slow to a stroll if you need.

>>149633946

You're just fighting yourself if you go beyond that in one sitting. We've all got basically the same hardware, figuring out how to use it best is the challenge.

I think they'll assume I'm homo sapiens without me having to indicate it on my resume. People can focus longer than 20 minutes by suppressing the natural desire to shift their attention, but it's less efficient. You should give 20 minute study sessions with game breaks in between a try instead of doing long blocks of each.

How do you guys remember words like 振る舞う or that don't really have a concrete meaning or just have lots of meanings? The definition of this word means absolutely nothing in my mind as there's nothing to ground it on. I feel like learning words like this through anki is a waste of time.

You just learn one vague meaning (or don't worry about the meaning at all) and only use anki to remember the reading

The straightfoward literal meaning is correct. モトラド is a made up word hence the notice, 指す is what the words points to, in other words its definition. 空を飛ばないものだけ -> only things that don't fly.
So モトラド is a two-wheeled ground vehicle.

The situation is pretty weird but me and 吉野 showed up at school on a holiday by accident and started walking around and ended up getting lost in the school. The hallways became long and no matter how far we walked back and forth we would get no where for hours. Looking out a window we would see only white. We got into a fight and started scrambling around and broke through the door to the club room to the "regular" world again. Looking out the window realizing it became night time even though it was just supposedly day time in the other world is where "さっきまでの窓は真っ白で何も見えなかったけど、夕日を拝んではいない。" comes in. I'm putting way too much time into this sentence that could just be spent reading more.

Even though I couldn't see shit captain a short while back, I'm not about to start praising the setting sun like a fucking faggot.

>>149640585
Aren't they just saying they can't see setting sky now, refering from their point of view how they skipped from day directly to night, skipping the sunset?

>>149640840

I knew it had to be something simple like this. I need to allow my mind to be more flexible.

>>149640585
I read 拝んで like crossing your fingers for something. Like they weren't particularly hoping for it. I have no idea if it's right though.

>馬鹿いちょー

>わざわざ原書を使うほどだ、学問に没頭した者の品だろう。
The part before the comma confuses me... anyone can explain it to me?

>>149641946
Going as far as using the original text...

>>149641946
Yes.

>>149642105
Wow, how did I not see that. Thanks

>>149641946

What's the context?
原書 could be interpreted in more than one way.

It refers to an original document, or perhaps an untranslated text.

This sentence could be about the elegance that accompanies a learned anon on /a/ having studied Japanese enough to read Dies Irae on his own or it could be about a scholar well-versed enough in the occult to read the Necronomicon.

I wonder if I should take some breaks to focus on what I mined so far before continuing to read.

Like maybe read one day and then spending the 2nd day focusing on what I mined on the first.

Oh well, I'll figure out what works best eventually.

>>149642950
It's up to you, but generally at a beginner level, getting familiar with grammar and the general structure of native material is a lot more important than vocab

is it a good idea to do anki reps drunk

>>149643797
You're better off doing your reps first and getting drunk later.

>>149643797
No

>>149643797

Do the reps while you get drunk. It'll be an incentive. For every ten cards you do, take a sip.

Is there any sites like popjisyo.com that you would recommend?

>>149643797
Anki's pointless it wouldn't make any difference

>tfw too depressed to bring myself to read

Can someone advice me something to read, intermediate level, that isn't weebshit?

I have enough of cute girls doing cute things
I have enough of haremshit
I have enough of edgy teens with chuunibyou

I actually want something interesting that isn't related to anime/manga and isn't some 2deep4u bullshit. For example something historical.

And I want it for free.

You are the worst. You're making my japanese learning experience a hell. I can already masturbate without knowing japanese, I don't need your lolis or whatever the fuck.

>>149645556
Go read some real Japanese literature, like Natsume Souseki or Ryunosuke Akutagawa. If you can't understand those yet, read some more "weebshit" and try again in a few months.

>>149645639
funny enough even /v/ is starting to turn around on that
after all the vast majority of the lineup to justify their bloodborne machines is from japan
