Up to pic related. The previous chapter, damn. The history of the country started off a bit like The Ant and the Grasshopper, then became all too human. Predictable outcome but still enjoyable.

Bookmarks in Jade Reader still not staying after the app is closed down. If anyone has experience with this, please help.

Apparently Japanese->English google translation is perfected now so there's no need to learn Japanese anymore. Go home, everyone.

reposting shitty question:

I grabbed the 日本語 broadcast subs for LOGH from Kitsunekko
>http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2FLegend_Of_The_Galactic_Heroes%2F
but for strange reasons having something to do with the way JP channels broadcast their CC tracks all of the subtitle tracks are grouped into single SRT files with multiple tracks in them.

How can I actually use these with the one LOGH release that's actually out there? IDK how players other than MPV work, but it'll load the one file from the very beginning every time I load a new episode.

Would you have to actually go through and edit the SRT files manually into separate files or is there some better way? I have a lot of free time but I still absolutely don't want to do that. Nor do I want to hold down the subtitle-delay key for several minutes every time I get to a new episode though.

Problem: Machine translation is hard.
Solution: Throw neural network magic at it until it starts working.
Problem: Neural networks with too much complexity are *extremely* slow to simulate, and simple translations (equals literal translations) lose or change information by nature.
Solution: You need a human translator, at least until we get machine intelligence.

This just says you don't gain much from grinding anki.

I changed the font size as much as I could without fucking the layout up for ankidroid, but it's not big enough for me.

Not every word is like that, moron. And even then it's beneficial to learn the reading and the loose meaning of the word.

honestly the strange part about google translate being good to me is the fact that they threw neural networks at it

that means that they need to have a correctly segmented and literally translated bilingual text corpus

>>149662479
Reading and loose meaning is something you should be able to feel out through kanji when you're looking at what are obviously kango.
Sure it's beneficial, since it keeps words floating around in your headspace, but it's dull and not an efficient way to learn anything. Look words up in a dictionary while you're reading and you'll be better off. Not only do you get reading practice, but ideally the word is also reinforced through context.
Anki is designed to refresh your memory at set intervals, not to teach you how to read Japanese.

>>149663230
I haven't really been paying attention to the conversation, but how exactly would you read without using a dictionary?

>>149663130
If looking up words in a dictionary takes a significant amount of time for you maybe you should study something else.
Type in the onyomi and press space until you have what you're looking for. If you've exhausted your knowledge and that isn't an option, then use OCR (or a text hooker if you're a new age gamer) and give the kanji a quick review to help yourself remember next time.
Anki can come in once you decide to start mining the words you look up, which could be a good idea if you have a short memory and find yourself looking up the same word frequently (or just run into some choice relic word you want to stow under your hat).
If you find yourself pressing "again" on the same word in core a lot, just delete it. Core is not helpful.

What do you think is more efficient?

core + kanji deck + writing practice (writing down the kanji from the kanji deck) + reading
or
core + reading + writing practice (writing down the vocabulary from core)


What do?
Note: I'm fucking terrible at reading and need a hour for a yotsubato chapter.

>he does writing practice
I know you think it is a waste of time, it probably is, but I enjoy it and I think it helps a little with recognition of some kanji, like I only noticed some radicals after writing a few kanji => better recognition.

That your mining deck has fallen to such lowly review levels means you're either approaching fluent levels, or have been slacking off.

あい がん 【哀願】

彼は妻に別れないでくれと哀願した。
He entreated his wife not to leave him.哀願
懇願

彼らは我々に援助を懇願した。
They appealed to us for help.

The English descriptions here are really no less useful than the Japanese ones. If you know what supplication means then it you can see how these two similar terms can differ in context, as demonstrated by definitions both from weblio and jisho. You're blowing it way out of proportion.

>>149668725
They mean the same thing. You will see ゆく used sometimes in formal situations as well as other places. In casual speech its just いく though

>>149668766
Those definitions you posted still show more nuance than the English definitions do, and the Japanese definitions on Goo have even more of an actuate distinction between the two

哀願　事情を述べて相手の同情心に訴え、ひたすら頼むこと。

懇願　ねんごろに願うこと。ひたすらお願いすること。

>>149670387
What about Navajo?

>>149670550
In terms of listening all you need to do is play a fuck ton of VNs

>>149670596
But I don't want to watch anime without understanding what's going on and I don't feel like rewatching stuff in Japanese just for the sake of practice.

And, then again, how do I improve my speaking skills?

If you're a beginner then you're not exactly in the position to be picky about shit, anything that has audio is "decent listening practice", you can either play easy voiced VNs like harahira or watch easy anime raw or with Japanese subs like Non Non Biyori

Nope, and that's why Tae Kim mentions that the formal past of i-adjectives is 〜くありました (e.g. 楽しくありました). 〜くあった is just the informal form, which has been contracted to 〜かった

If it's not already established that it's a name, I don't think it is. I think the sentence translates to "I wonder if they won't even offer critique but just laugh scornfully". という名の無価値, after googling seems to just express that such a scornful laught would be all but worthless to him. There are some google results with the same construction and none of the preceding words are names.

KanjiTomo, though I've stopped using it and I just draw Kanji on google translate or type them if I know one of their readings.

Considering I'm superior to 99% of DJT I did learn how to write so it just takes me a second or two to write them which is faster than using some buggy program.

>>149677493
You thought wrong. Not only does the skip function at max speed go ridiculously slowly, the branches are across a series of choices throughout the entire common route, so it's impossible to just stick a save before the choice, you have to go through them all. For every route.

>>149677876
Yeah, I started it this afternoon

Know the kanji beforehand, or use OCR, or draw it into google translate, or use radical search if you're a hack who never studied stroke order.

Absolute or not, it's not difficult at all. Stroke order is extremely intuitive. I will never see a kanji I do not know how to write ever again in my life.

>>149678052
>actually studying stroke order
While you're learning kanji you learn the stroke order anyways. Unless you're a lazy faggot that doesn't write out the kanji that you learn.

彼女は欲しいがビッチは死ぬ

That's part of the reason that sentence is killing me.

I'm thinking maybe he means 彼女が欲しい but he changed が for は to emphasize it, but that's a long shot. Especially with no context. Besides I don't even know if people do that.

>>149678444
Right, that was my guess when I asked about が being used as a conjunction in the original post.

What throws me off is that I'm learning you use が欲しい when you say you want something, and there we have は欲しい so now I'm doubting what I'm learning which is why I decided to ask despite knowing people would throw shit at me.

>>149678734
It's fine to be wrong, that's how you learn.

You don't need DOJG to figure out what the expressions in DOJG mean. They're all built out of smaller parts.
If you understand ず and とも then you don't need to flip to the end of the book to look up ずとも when you encounter it in the wild.
And knowing these patterns is less than half the game, really. When you read a sentence you need to do more than understand what each individual auxiliary verb and particle is doing. You need to identify the clauses, make sense of the subject and predicate of each clause, and figure out what fits where. That's what application is.

I have respect for Steve but... anyone else thinks that he's kind of a hack?

I don't believe he's ever reached such a great level in Japanese or even any language that is not either English or French since it's his two native languages. I mean, it's still great well compared to most people and in that he can probably converse more or less naturally in many languages of course. My point is that after having studied Japanese for a few years now I've realized how much depth it has and how much one needs to read and accumulate vocabulary and understanding of the language to reach a level where one could consider themselves "advanced" - and this I believe is something Steve has never reached in Japanese. He certainly was "fluent social-wise", but not native-tier. I bet you'd put him in front of an advanced VN, LN or jnovel he'd end up struggling a lot and wouldn't be able to read much of it "fluently".

He does seem to love language but never really go deep, he just stops once he's learned enough to go around and then goes on learning another. In that regard, he's like those people """learning a language in 30 days""", of course a more respectable one. Thoughts?

Reading polite japanese is like a completely different language. I can't understand at all. This sucks.
