>What's the point of this thread?
For learners of Japanese to come and ask questions and shitpost with other learners. Japanese people learning English can come too I guess.
>Why is it here?
The mods moved us here and won't let us go anywhere else.
>Why not use the pre-existing Japanese thread?
The cultures are completely different.
>Go back to /a/
We'd like to. Bitch to the mods.

Vocabulary and reading are very important, but your reason for learning is the most important thing of all! You have to think about why you want to learn Japanese, because that's what creates the will that you need to do your reps every day! The reason that you need to read for hours! When you've done over 1000 reps, and your hands are shaking, and you feel like you can't do another rep, then it's your reason that makes you go beyond your limits! It makes you go back in one more time and struggle to push through another 100 reps!

The problem with a lot of people is that they've never felt any pain. Any time it starts to get hard, they quit. For most skills, there is an unavoidable period of hardship and just plain hard work before you become proficient at it. If you avoid that period, that hardship, then how will you learn that skill? I dare you to take a little pain! I dare you to keep studying when you feel tired! Somebody said, "If I don't take a break, then I feel bad." What if you go through it anyways? You aren't going to die! At the end of pain is success! You aren't going to die because you're feeling a little pain! A lot of people won't be successful because when they're studying, they get tired and slowly peter out and eventually quit! Don't go to sleep until you succeed!

It's not like it needs to have perfect grammar in order to be readable without interruptions.
It's just I recognized all kanjis and words because they're pretty frequent around here. I think 日本語能力試験二級文法 is a chink clusterfuck if you're caught off-guard

>>68759995
It's really not a clusterfuck in that all those words are pretty common ones, especially if you're a student. Maybe you just have an aversion to chunks of uninterrupted kanji?

Yeah, even using the n-word in 4chan is a big no-no in the current year, depending on the board. I miss when we weren't ran by babysitters like a forum. At least I could shit on people when they showed themselves too dumb to discuss anything, now I can only play the passive-aggressiveness game or let them take over discussions with their uninformed opinions.

so for how long are you already learning japanese?
what are your goals?
how much do you learn on a daily basis?
why did you start and how did it go?
how are your skills?


personally I've been learning japanese for more than 5 years now, but I don't really have any goal besides being able to understand and write it as well as english at some point in my life
because it's more or less just a hobby for me it's hard to say how much time I invest, sometimes I spend hours on it and some days I barely do anything
at first I just wanted to understand my animu better and tried to get around learning kanji and shit, nowadays I barely watch animu and want to be able to read japanese literature and watch "normal" movies etc. I think I pretty much wasted a lot of time in the first year because of this mentality, but I didn't want to give up.
I always wanted to be able to speak several languages before I die, so I also started learning french on the side

I'd say I'm still intermediate, sometimes I can perfectly read and understand a complicates sentences and somtimes I struggle with the most mundane shit
>>
>>68771547
If you count the years where I pretended I wanted to learn Japanese but never really put any effort other than picking up a book 2~3 times a year, I've been learning it since 2008.

But I have only started to really study 12 months ago. Full ankidrone for 10 months, then read some Tae Kim and started reading recently - I can read some simple mango and understand Japanese streamers that speak slowly. I keep recognizing vocabulary in anime and music. Although not always, I can express myself enough to be understood and am able to understand the answer given to me,

I see myself being able to communicate better than nips speaking English on /int/ by the end of 2017. And being fully functional - maybe even advanced - by the end of 2018.

Fluency is something that takes time and I'm not really in a hurry, and... that's about it.
The contrast between my 8 years of weeb-watching anime and my now informed-watching anime is scary, if I keep improving this fast, listening (which is the hardest for me in any language) will soon be no problem.

JLPT results can't come soon enough. I'm already tired of waiting.

>>68771547
I've been learning for around two years and a half, with the first year being more saying I'm going to learn and being incredibly lazy about learning kana than learning anything.
No sure about any goals. I might try to do a master in translation because nothing else appeals to me and I'm expected to stay in school for a long time.
I try to do anki every day but I'm a lazy piece of shit so I don't do that much. I always watch anime with no subs and I converse with Japanese acquaintances often, though.
I started to understand anime, and I found it fun, but lately I haven't had as much time so it's turned a bit into a chore. I want to change this and find the happiness of learning new words again.

Skills are alright. My forte are having casual discussions (I'm a good talker and I don't spill spaghetti everywhere even if I know my sentences aren't perfect) and oral comprehension, which would be pretty useless in an actual professional setting, but I'm not there yet so it's okay. I'd say I'm intermediate.

I also want to learn some other languages. I feel like learning a roman language would feel very easy after grinding kanji for Japanese.

Learn Portuguese, Bagetto-kun! French is my go-to easy-ass language when I need instant gratification, maybe it's mutually easy.
Or maybe not, since French is a mix of Portuguese and English to me. Portuguese will be a mix of French and Spanish to you, probably.
>>
>>68773959
Well, when in doubt I think you should just try it, if you have the means to. I wouldn't call myself intermediate-high but I still think I did relatively okay on the N2, I'm not sure I'll get it but I definitely didn't fail horribly.

>>68774190
Hah, I was thinking of Spanish or Portuguese actually. Might be fun, I'll have to get on that sometime in between kanji reps.

Actively learning for maybe 2 weeks total between 2007 and 2010. Passively learning since 2005 through anime and occasional rikaisama translations of Japanese posts on the internet.
Recently thanks to anime, I started understanding so much spoken Japanese, like close to 100% comprehension of Japanese meant for little children, and for example 100% of the trailer for Kimi no na wa, that the feelings of "If I understand so much why don't I learn the damn language already" reached an overflowing point and I decided to actively learn again.
Have been mining core for the last 3 days and have 290 cards done (5%). That means I'll finish 6k in no time, only 2 months, r-right.
>>
>>68773773
>In such a sleep deprived state that you can fall asleep for 10 hours
Sounds like the perfect condition to do some learning.

Protip for future: Learn to manipulate the "Next day starts at __ hours past midnight" setting.
If you need some sleep do a card or two (to maintain that 100% rating) and push the rollover time way back and go to bed. Once awake and fully refreshed do your reviews and then set the rollover time back to normal to get back to you usual schedule.

I have a firm grasp on hiragana, and I'm starting katakana today.

After that, the guide says to study Tae Kim grammar guide + Core2K/6K Anki deck.

Since Tae Kim's guide does not include exercises, how can I retain the info I learn? By just reading over each page multiple times, or reading it once and coming back to review it later?
>>
>>68779852
Reading and encountering it in the wild. You'll encounter most of the basic stuff in the anki example sentences and the other grammar points will be a fuzzy memory you can quickly look up/review when you come across them.
>>
Does anyone have the same problem as me? I can read hiragana and kanji at a decent pace, but I always have to stop a few seconds to read katakana. How do I fix this? Did I do something wrong? I've been studying for 2 months now.

Do it. Start downloading it right now, you faggot
>>
>>68780006
As in identifying what each katakana symbol means? That'll improve over time.

Not that it'll really help being able to read the katakana sections faster. English/loan words written in katakana throw me off big time. I pretty much need to read them aloud and then feel like an idiot when it finally clicks what they mean.

Does it have to be Red/Blue? It has no kanji.

It's just the katakana itself, I'm fine with the loanwords.

Works on windows 10. You have to install some fonts to get the fonts to work, though.

I had DJ-san literally .zip his entire windows/font folder and send it to me then hangame worked after that. I now have tons of nip fonts on my computer i'll never fucking use.

You can make your own course and it's pretty good actually, easier to deal with than Anki when it comes to customization and such, even if it's more limited.

What's the difference between using 質問 and 問題?
>>
>>68791268
The difference between saying question and problem
>>
>>68790287
It's immensely useful in learning to distinguish certain kanji, and making sense of jukugo. When I look at something even as simple as 勉強 it seems a discordant mess so I don't retain it very well, but that's because I've not yet come across those radicals.

But when I see eg. 相手 I know the former kanji means mutual/inter- and the latter means hand. The combined meaning of partner is also pretty logical, even if that's not always the case.
Words like 日本 I know because I've seen them a million times, but RTK helps me break down and remember newer and more complex ones. Doing core6K at the same time I notice a marked improvement in retention for terms with kanji I've previously studied.

And learning the readings would be retarded because a single kanji can have a dozen nanori/onyomi. Better to learn that shit from vocab. The kanji study just serves as a stop-gap to the same end, but (in my case) with improved comprehension.

>>
>>68791970
I did maybe 300 kanji with RTK years ago. Now I'm doing core6k. I think that RTK is a waste of time.

You don't always need mnemonics to remember kanji, and with RTK you learn the mnemonics for each kanji which is unnecessary burden. Personally I use mnemonics for maybe 25% to 35%. Furthermore, coming up with my own mnemonics works better. They're natural and never feel forced, and they're often funny or at least amusing which makes learning fun. Very different from reading a mnemonic made by someone else and going "yeah it kind of looks like that".

I looked at some RTK pages again just now and it has many descriptions that are stupid and useless. That's not what I thought when I was using it, but now it seems quite bad actually.

With core6k I take extra steps to increase retention. Some kanji I paste in a dictionary to get more information. For words made from multiple kanji that weren't covered yet, I look up each kanji separately to "combine the meanings" when they make sense. I also write each new kanji on paper because it helps understand the structure, and helps remember it. Don't really need RTK to understand the structure. Writing it helps a ton desu.

I'm sure this is a retarded question, but how do you import non-primary definitions into anki using Rikaisama? Just for example, if I hover over しゃせい the first result is sketching, and if I press r, that's what gets imported into anki. Is there a way to have it import the secondary definition of ejaculation, or do I have to do that manually?
>>
>>68794960
Oh God no, I'm not using Heisig's garbage mnemonics. I'm just using his ordering system and keywords/nomenclature. If I need a mnemonic I'll generally make my own.

And obviously any further study you undertake will enhance your comprehension. But I'm not yet at the point in core6K where its throwing me complex jukugo so that isn't super-necessary. The hardest thing I'm finding at the moment are transitive/intransitive verbs, adverb conjugations like 近い and 近く and when they throw a bunch of different kanji at me that have similar meaning but different nuance. 暑い and 熱い. But again, radicals help a lot. The 日 in the former suggests atmospheric heat while the oven/firepit mutation of 火 in the latter suggests tactile heat.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Rare vocabulary (Lots of stuff you will almost never see in manga/VNs/novels, but might see occasionally if you actually live in Japan and read boring shit over there)
Some ambiguous "what did the author really mean" type reading questions
You might get stuck in the back of the room with a shit audio source
Lots of grammar that is quite rare in real life including VNs/manga (but is a piece of cake if you go through a couple grammar prep books)
The fact that you have to pay attention through an hour of boring as fuck audio clips

The vocabulary section itself is usually relatively easy, but there is some harder stuff in the reading sections. Just download the Shin Kanzen Master reading prep book and look at the difficulty of those things. I'm sure you'll find some things you haven't seen before, especially in the segments on pamphlets and shit like that. 月極 is one example of something you will see all the time in Japan, and that the JLPT seems to like, but appears almost never in VNs and shit.

On the actual vocab section personally I fucked up 味がしみる on the test (it came down to a 50/50 and I guessed wrong).

not sure about the other two, but I used context

in order of what came to mind:
1. ends in 間 or 問
2. preceded by ヤバイ so it's probably not going to be something intellectual or archaic
3. 昭間 and 昭問 are not words

if you just isolated the kanji I think it would be reasonable to say that most people would at least be less confident in their answer

Should I major in TESL for my bachelors? I'd get a teaching license and major in Japanese or Chinese at the same time. I know in Hong Kong the pay for an English teacher can be 5000 USD + a month with the right experience.

Are English teaching jobs in Japan worse than China and places like Singapore, Hong Kong, etc?

I have to choose whether to minor in Japanese or Chinese as well, and don't want to minor in Japanese if the jobs there suck.

JLPT is a normie test designed for normie purposes. It's baffling to me why people with no interest in working in or moving to Japan display such reverence towards a glorified applicant/resume filter.

I always get the "it's a personal milestone" card in response; and this is purely anecdotal, but whenever I meet someone with a certificate, they've either used it as an excuse to get discouraged or complacent.

Most of people with N2 I've met have no interest in advancing their studies, either because they've spent too much time excessively preparing for it that they now believe N1 is some kind of death march, or because they moved their goalposts to their current level the moment they passed and decided that the validation they received was enough.

Maybe I just keep the wrong company.

At the point where one knows all the most common words in the language, where one has grammar mostly down pat, I think its at that point wherein language learning becomes the most difficult to really nail down, it becomes gorilla warfare, it's a transition from a honest head-on battle whererin any reading material is a worthy opponent to a war wherein every unknown word has to be chased down and slain, wherein one forgets more words than they encounter new, wherein classical Japanese rears its ugly head and cannot be ignored... it is within this gorilla warfare that the spirit of a Japanese learner is truly tested as they must expend their seething youth in labor for fluency through sheer exposure with nary a smile to be had as the relentless march towards native level continues unending into the murky twilight of upper-intermediate lower-advanced Japanese proficiency.

Yeah okay. It takes 3 years of studying to pass N1. From scratch.

What are you talking about? It's perfectly possible to become fluent if you start at 25, your brain doesn't break down that fast. You should be at least 30 before you notice any disadvantage at all

I have a suspicion that 'you become dumber as you get older' is a meme perpetuated by stupid people who stopped studying as they got older and got lazy, forgot how to put in effort into learning something. At least not until like 70+.
It's true that it's harder to start studying again after you spent 10 years in a braindead job but it's because you have to relearn how to study, and not because of a limited capability. That's what I think. Going to find out eventually.

To be honest, none of this really matters. You'll master what you need to. It might take more time, maybe not.

All I'm saying is if you live in a rural japanese town, your wife is japanese, your friends are japanese, and no one speaks English, you will learn Japanese at some point if you just stay there.

Same goes for any language, if you can immerse yourself (with a few introductory courses in the beginning), you'll eventually become fluent given more, or less, time.

>>
>>68812730
It will work as a beginner, because you know almost nothing. The common words get reinforced constantly and you'll feel like you're progressing by leaps and bounds if you can bear down and focus enough.

When you get to an intermediate stage, it will slow down, simply because there is less to learn per text. This is not unique to learning via exposure, however it has the problem of the new words not really being reinforced as often as they probably should be. You can avoid this somewhat by simply re-reading things really frequently, but in doing so, why not just use an SRS software to make it more efficient?

When you get to intermediate ~ advanced the new words you'll run into aren't frequently encountered enough that you'll probably end up in a cycle of forgetting them. The type of words you would only encounter every 3~4 weeks, depending on how widely read you are. This is where it becomes truly difficult to progress without any form of focused study, from a simple list of new words to putting them in an SRS. They're simply not reinforced enough naturally, or aren't really intuitive enough for you to remember after seeing once etc.

tldr: There are severe diminishing returns, and eventually new words become too sparse/rare to reinforce themselves naturally.

Just think of it this way
If you pass the N1 it doesn't mean you are good
But if you fail it means you aren't good.

I do think that they should make the pass score like 130, but it is still sorting out most of the people who suck at japanese. They also are trying to counteract the chinese to some extent by using more katakana words.

So the old one then that was easier than the current one.

The reading material itself on the current one is hard enough. If you're testing people for business it would be stupid to test obscure kanji or business documents that half of natives can't really understand.

>The reading material itself on the current one is hard enough. If you're testing people for business it would be stupid to test obscure kanji or business documents that half of natives can't really understand.

English language proficiency tests do exactly that (well, except the kanji because English has none), and the passing score is much higher too. Also there's writing and speaking. JLPT is still in its infancy. I'm planning to take the Nihongo Kentei Shiken ikkyuu if I'm in Japan next November.
