Without rikai hovering over it, how many people here know 稈 or 硅石 or 雉? Just kind of wondering as I noticed my mining cards seem to be mostly random specialized stuff now and I'm not even in the five digit range yet.

>>17019152
You mean not looking up anything? Far from it. At least talking about the books I'm interested in. Even though I would say I know all the "normal vocabulary" a lot of stuff has random words like the ones above which kind of kills the flow. I predict it will be about 15k~ mined cards before I feel truly comfortable.

Can anyone explain the causative usage of the 踏む here? Shouldn't it be passive, since it's being trampled on?
>>
>>17019261
Not really. One only needs ~9.5k words to know 95% of the words that come up in novels.
I'm sure you don't know all of the words in your native language either. But you can derive its meaning by context. Or by looking up in a dictionary.
>>
>>17019272
Personalization of the 沿道? I.e. it's 賑わっている because in a metaphorical sense it's letting people's 草履 踏む on itself?

I feel pretty comfortable at 15K. Not fluent, but for a game like Subahibi I get maybe 5 new words per 1K lines. You could guess or skip those without missing much if you wanted (although looking them up is no problem). The number of cards in your deck is also not a great indicator of its value. I'm generous with adding cards, but I do make the bare minimum effort to not add totally obvious shit. There's one anon here with 3500 kanji spread over 6000 cards, and on the other hand I've seen someone who claimed to have 20K cards while knowing only 2.7K kanji.
>>
>>17019286
>>17019643
Unless you are doing double sided cards you are merely training recognition (i.e. passive vocabulary). A native speaker's passive vocabulary ranges from 25k-50k depending on factors like their education and social circle. Now mining that many cards can be a bit troublesome, in the latter stages of language learning words should be learnt more passively. Mined words therefore seems to be a bad indicator of how good you are or how well you will read.
>>
>>17019643
>but for a game like Subahibi I get maybe 5 new words per 1K lines
I have 7k cards and there's not a single word in Subahibi I don't know heh.

Is there any anki core2k like deck that doesn't (or rarely) us any kanji, but rather hiragana and katakana?
Basically I want to learn vocabulary separately from kanji, as I think that my pace will be much faster that way.
Also listening comprehension is more important than reading for me.
>>
>>17019914
Bad idea no matter what your goal is. You can theoretically simply restructure the existing core decks as they have the Kana information in there but it's simply inadvisable. If you really want to to learn Kanji, do that, but also learn the vocabulary with the Kanji. That way your studies overlap. Trying to categorize and isolate language learning sections only harms you.
>>
>>17019931
How can it harm me if it is the way japanese people learn?
First the words are learned and then the kanji.
I think it will hamper me if I fixate too much on the necessity of reading kanji, as I can learn vocabulary much faster than kanji.
Kanji study is something I will do separately, but at a lower pace.
As for the deck, maybe I will write a script which automates the process.
>>
>>17019966
Whatever works best for you, good luck.
>>
>>17019966
Rule of thumb for all language learning: the more you struggle the more you learn. Go ahead and do whatever you feel will make it easier but you are only burning time on inefficient learning.

As for the cards, you literally only need to change the styling and that's it.

>>17019996
It doesn't really matter, core is garbage and distributes common words throughout the entire 6k instead of frontloading them. It's inefficient but you still spent your time learning useful things.
>>
>>17020002
If I am able to learn more vocabulary in a shorter time, I will gain understanding quicker.
Especially since listening comprehension and speaking is high priority for me, as I will spend a lot of time in Japan soon.
Knowing a lot of kanji is not really necessary for day to day life in japan, understanding others, knowing how to form sentences and speak is.
Also I didn't say that I won't learn the kanji writings of vocabulary, but I will do this separately.

Is 名前 a loan word?
>>
>>17020061
Yea, from Chinese.
>>
>>17020080
Well not a loanword but etymological roots. Nothing to do with the English name.
>>
>>17019996
Time spent "studying wrong" is not time wasted. As other anon said, you without a doubt learned something useful in your time spent with Core. There are only two modes to this game: Learning Japanese and Learning Japanese faster. Remember that the only way to actually fail at learning Japanese is to give up. If your methods are horribly inefficient but your resolve is sincere, you will still learn the language, even if it takes twice as long as another guy.

Here's one problem with your idea: Homophones. How are you supposed to know whether かみ is the thing you take notes on, the fuzzy stuff on your head, or the dude in the sky you throw coins at on New Year's? This isn't a problem in spoken Japanese because you have the context clarify. Not so with Anki.

Are any of you guys good enough to understand the news?

What? Are you supposed to press pass despite not knowing the card?
>>
>>17020265
The pattern is adverbial form + する・なる regardless of whether it's still considered an adverb. That's why it's in that section.
>>
>>17020342
You're supposed to press the 10 minute button. It makes literally no difference in the long run (read: 1 week, seriously) other than skewing your statistics. The "pressing again" statistic is for cards you forgot, to track your retention. What do you achieve by including 20 cards you have not yet learned into your retention statistic?
>>
>>17020330
Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. I didn't even bother mining words in anki until about six months ago, so if we're being liberal here I could say I didn't start REALLY learning japanese until about a year ago.

Have any recommendations for real people speaking Japanese at a fast pace besides the news though? All I know about is the news and anime.

So I was reading this Chiebukuro post to understand better the difference between 中味 and 中身, and as general practice.

https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1142504986

>皮を剥いた真ん中の《だいだい色の球体の可食部分》に、

Ok, I'm retarded and tech illiterate. I downloaded the Core 2k/6k anki deck from https://djtguide.neocities.org/anki.html but now I don't know if I'm being shown cards from 2k or 6k. There are 6k cards in total but do the cards go from easy to hard or are they just shown randomly? Do I need to make a selection to learn the simpler cards first?
>>
>>17021267
Every card has a number. Cards with smaller numbers are shown first. 2k is simply the first 2k cards. 6k is both 2k plus an additional 4000 cards for a total of 6000 cards.

No matter where I look I can't seem to find a decent explanation of んじゃない, even though it comes up everywhere.

>>17021552
Not exactly. I found more or less what I was looking for here:

https://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/8789955.html

apparently んじゃない can also work as a negative imperative, even though that might mean almost the opposite of it's interpretation as a rhetorical question.
I still don't really understand how it can mean that (the top answer seems to have a go at explaining but they are still a bit vague), but that's just japanese for you I guess.
>>
>>17021953
Not him: If the deck is structured like a dictionary of particles I think it's fine. If it's something else though I agree. I don't have the deck so I don't know, but I accidentally mined particles when I started out and it actually helped, i.e. I recognize the ones I mined with more reliability.

That なせる confused me at first. It's not actually the potential form of なす and just means した.

Based on 8 VNs, only one of which is particularly short, only ~24k words show up in more than one of them. And something like, I'm ballparking this here, 25% of those are loanwords from english or not "words of their own" (adverb forms of i-adjectives, compound verbs, nouns with derivational affixes attached).

You could start now. But I'd start by solidifying a bit of grammar and then moving to native content you're interested in so that you learn stuff in context, instead through a seemingly random order of words and expressions.
If you don't understand, which is normal, there's always jisho.

I don't have the discipline to get any farther on my own in Japanese. I really need a structured native tutor at this point, especially because I want to focus on business level Japanese.

If I can't find a live tutor in my area or classes, does anyone have suggestions of paid websites with streaming sessions that give good results and are well structured and intensive? I have plenty of free time and money isn't really an issue.

It has other uses besides what you're probably thinking of when you say "possession". For example:

Does it expose you to copious amounts of arbitrary, compelling japanese? Does it adapt to your skill level, no matter how low or high? The answer is no. It's not a fine platform.

I should have to finish the course for it to show me things at exactly my skill level. The fact that you used the words "finish" and "course" prove that it's inherently bad. Fuck off and stop shilling.

>>
>>17026038
There is exactly one way to learn languages.

Consume language material that's at the right level for you.

Drills don't work. Memorizing patterns don't work. They don't make you fluent in any way.

Duolingo doesn't have enough compelling language material. It's not useful.
>>
>>17025919
Shilling LingQ is funny because even if someone falls for it they'll still end up being exposed to japanese. Duolingo is not so, and the only reason duolingo is more popular than LingQ (which is objectively better than duolingo for european languages, even though it shouldn't cost money) is because of duolingo's aggressive social marketing, i.e. you.

Can't really be assed to answer all that

I'm pretty sure my problem is that I just don't do enough listening practice, but it's so painful I can't bring myself to do it

I thought I could cheat by playing VNs and watching anime with jap subs all the time, but even after doing that for months on end my listening comprehension still hasn't seemed to improve much at all

Now I'm trying to listen to more anime without jap subs but it takes an hour to get through one episode, and I already don't have much time to spare as it is

I read Saya no Uta with pretty much perfect ease a while back, but it's still taking me an hour to get through one episode of idolmaster

I don't know about anime these days though.

It's not that hard to believe that I've just spent a disproportionate amount of time practising reading compared to listening
>>
Those gooks sure know how to shitpost
>>
>>17026548
It is. Reading is like mini-listening at the same time because you sub-vocalize the text in your head. So if you are able to read at a decent speed and got the vocabulary down, you are also able to pick up listening very quickly retroactively. 95% of my time is spent reading and anime became a non-issue long before I even reached the second year of study.
>>
>>17026579
Well I guess I just have brain problems then, I've been reading for at least 5 years, most of that time I was neet, I mined 15k words and 3k unique kanji before I stopped using anki, yet I still have massive problems with listening comprehension

I've got some questions
What are the rules for using で and に when listing several things? I often see the first one used on adjectives and the latter when refering to several clothes a character is wearing.
Second: often, I see のも, but I rarely can squeeze the meaning out, I suppose it is の as in もの and も as in either or too, however, I'm still lost most times I see it.
>>
>>17027458
のも is a pair of particles rather than a compound particle, however も behaves in ways that are hard to see in advance when polarity gets involved
>>
What is the Japanese equivalent of >implying
>>
>>17027458
に is (occasionally) used to list nouns, not adjectives. It's attached to adjectives for other reasons. で is is just て form if it's actually listing several things (connecting clauses). Please post sentences, not out-of-context particles.

So I've got a couple friends over at my course that keep praising this method to any and all heavens.
plus.ajatt.com
Now I'm no expert but aside from the constantly listening practice, isn't this extremely inefficient? The crap about passive learning while sleeping is a myth that never worked, and a lot of other things on that page are outright dumb (using RTK). I don't know how long those lads have been doing this process but it honestly doesn't look like it helps them a single bit. I'm not sure if it's them being idiots or the process being complete shit.
Anyone else who tried this exact method?
>>
>>17027849
It's garbage. People who subscribe to the AJATT method actually subscribe to their personal misinterpretation of it, and they say so. They use it as an excuse to consume content instead of """studying""", which is valid, but they communicate about it wrong.

The JET program looks like the dumbest shit. Why on earth would you want a teacher who can't speak Japanese?

Back in middle school I remember my classmates who were taking Spanish had a Spanish teacher who couldn't speak a lick of Norwegian, and, even worse, could barely even speak English. At the end of middle school, the Spanish class was so far behind the other two 3rd language classes in test results it was ridiculous.
>>
>>17028420
It's so they can trick dumb foreigners into working for them with extremely low salaries. The average, non retarded person knows that, in order to live in a country, you must speak the official language at least at a basic level. Seeing EOPs create excuses about how they don't need to learn japanese in order to function properly in the japanese society and later complaining about how everyone treats them like a braindead foreigner is one of the most laughable things in existence.

Truth is, english teaching is more like a step in order to give yourself more chances of attaining residency in Japan. Most companies like JET will probably just use you and then throw you away in order to welcome more hungry foreigners. And when you do get thrown away, or just get tired of the same teaching agenda, you'll have nowhere to go. Teaching english doesn't give you any valuable work experience. It's basically a dead end from there.

i'm trying to memorize some hard-ass names with kanji in anki, but it can't stick with me if i hit "again" and then "good", then forgetting about it in a couple minutes just to find the next day i didn't memorize it (i mean, it works in the looong run, but it takes a lot of time).

Can I achieve having more steps on already reviewed cards that are in the "again" pile? I want something like my steps on new cards (1 1 10 10 30).

This seams like a good idea. For me its really hard to break the habit of just learning kanji since its become so natural to me. Learning vocab takes a lot more effort. Besides, I have to relearn vocab at least 3 or 4 times before it sticks whereas with kanji the mnemonics are so easy I hardly ever press "again". I think thats probably the reason Ive been telling myself to finish the joyo kanji first, because Im kind of subconsciously scared of vocab. Believe it or not its a really hard habit to break.

Well, you'll definitely have a confident grip on the grammar when you first start out, with problems only arising when you get to very late intermediate things. For now I recommend learning kanji through words instead of individually, it's less efficient than doing them individually but it will get you more vocab and kanji faster. Remember to write them down and do lots of recall practice, this is VERY important.

Otherwise I'd recommend starting with Minna no Nihongo or Genki right away, unless there's something keeping you from dedicating 2-3 hours a day on studying that stuff.

だい is 呉音 and たい is 漢音. 漢語 that are read with 呉音読み tend to originate in Buddhist scripture, while 漢音読み words were transmitted later through native Chinese literature.
Learning to which category a certain word belongs to is largely a matter of memorization, but I don't think it's right to call it completely arbitrary. Since it's not like they choose whether to use 呉音 or 漢音 at random.

Fun fact: "intermediate" means "where I am right now", not "journeyman". If you literally memorize core6k before you start reading, you're going to be behind people that started reading at 1k words for a long, long time. You're probably not even going to catch up.

This is kind of depressing to read. I've only been studying for 4 months and I can draw 850 Kanji from memory, know a bit over a thousand words and understand most basic grammar. I've spent a lot of that time studying though and in all likelihood my free time will be reduced to a fraction of what it is now in the near future. I hoped I could get all the 常用漢字 out of the way, like you so I can intensively focus on vocabulary and reading. Right now I learn to draw 8-20 Kanji a day (depending on how busy I am) and yes, my goal is to write so it's not a waste of time. My biggest fear is really to build up such a huge Anki load that I will not be able to do it in my reduced freetime (or it being the only thing I can do). It seems to me that unless you have a huge amount of free time, it really is impossible to learn Japanese.

>>17032594
If you're seeing exercises you're looking at the new "complete" guide, which is incomplete and redundant. The original guide is the one you want. Read through it and make sure you understand each point, but don't worry about memorising everything, you're just building a foundation in your brain which will gradually be activated by compelling content.
>>
>>17032649
I'd say don't worry too much about anki loads. I'd personally start slowly transitioning to reading and worrying more about words that I don't know found while reading. It's much easier to remember them if you have context.
Doing lots of vocab and kanji is fine but you need to be able to start using them soon or else you'll end up in the situation you mentioned. Try Minna no Nihongo II if you think you've got the basics down, or Genki II.
If you're still gung-ho about finishing the 常用漢字 then maybe something like Kanzen Master or So-Matome might be able to make it easier for you.

Well Id rather learn japanese slowly then not at all. Dont give up hope. Youre basically in exactly the same situation as I was in some months ago. I find learning kanji really interesting even if it is ineffective.
>>
>>17032685
Pls elaborate. How common are rare kanji in core vocab?
>>
>>17032711
Basically kanji aren't japanese. They're *just* a writing system. Learning kanji only removes one layer of alienness from japanese, it doesn't make it so you understand most of the words in what you read, neither by meaning nor pronunciation. Words are productive: you can learn words and you will intuitively understand what they mean when put together most of the time, except for in idioms etc. Kanji are not productive: knowing all the kanji does not make you intuitively understand what they mean or how they're pronounced when put together.
>>
>>17032725
Unless it's shit like 空港, but there are barely any words are nice like that.
>>
>>17032739
空港 is a compound word, not a word of its own written with kanji.
>>
>>17032676
I really don't like textbooks. I've started reading some basic things and it's going alright. I spent only a fraction of my time learning Kanji, otherwise I could probably learn to write 50 or so a day. Maybe I should even do that just to get them out of the way sooner. Yet I also think it's important to pace myself and to let old Kanji sink in as I don't have immediate vocabulary for all Kanji I learn (following KKLC but learning Kanji faster than words).

>>17032680
Which method is that? Learning to write Kanji? What is it ineffective for exactly?

>>17032685
Are you quoting me? I don't remember having said that. Anyway, KKLC covers 2300 Kanji and that'll be the majority of them. I'm learning to write all of those and the others I'll just remember by recognition.

>>17032705
Are you the poster I replied to? I'm doing quite a lot besides learning to draw Kanji y'know. I have revamped my learning method a couple weeks ago and now I'm learning 20-40 new words a day, acquiring new grammar every day and squeezing in what time is left to enjoy Japanese material. Basically my progress has been stunning (especially the last month after my revamp), but as I am reviewing everything I do in Anki (vocabulary, grammar, producing Kanji), I am left with the fear that it might end up too much when I'll start my occupation.

>>17032725
I see, so despite me having said that I do a lot more than learning to write Kanji, you automatically assume I do nothing but learn Kanji and therefore have no understanding of Japanese. I mean that has to be some sort of autism, no?

Production practice is not all that necessary. Reading and listening a lot helps you develop a sense for what's correct (or at least common) Japanese and what's not.

This is true. I'm shit at expressing myself in Japanese beyond very basic stuff, but I can still tell when something is ungrammatical or sounds clunky.

Baby's first reading attempt here, trying NHK News Web Easy because currently too poor to buy はなひらっ! and I want to start with Rikaisama.

14日、イギリスの男性のベルダン・ヘイズさんが101歳38日でスカイダイビングをしました。

I cannot for the life of me figure out what the age/date (101歳38日) is supposed to be referring to.

I don't plan to come here to ask you guys to translate all the shit I can't figure out or nothing, but what resource can I use to work something like this out myself? People in the thread say to start reading right away, so that's what I'm doing, but it seems difficult this way.

You should be able to put stuff together like this. You're trying too hard to understand how the individual parts build up to the greater meaning. Don't do that. If the greater meaning is obvious, you should simply observe that the smaller parts build up to it. Your brain will do the rest.

There's a manga called お酒は夫婦になってから

And the english title is alcohol is for married couples

How does になってから mean for here?
I know in english it can almost make sense due to the phrase "becoming of" e.g. Alcohol is very becoming of for couples
>>
>>17034388
Alcohol is after becoming a married couple

Things like this are why learning actual Japanese is so hard when your native language is so far removed in syntax and the turns of phrase that are used. No wonder people turn to ankidroning for a false sense of security.

Couldn't get anything to work properly with "hook any text".
Tried PCSX2 and PPSPP, sometimes I got some text out of it but after 3-4 sentences it stopped working or showed only half of it.

You could manually search for the text on scree every time, but I figured it would be faster looking up stuff via radicals when I become a bit better.
>>
>>17034971
literally read anything except hanahira my man, just pick something your interested in

hanahira is a game nobody is interested in unless they are being meme'd into reading it because they were told its the easiest thing to read in japanese. The truth is, pretty much all VNs have easy-to-read japanese with a few outliers. Same goes with most LNs
>>
VNs と LNsの意味って何?
>>
>>17034971
I personally think Hanahira is not bad for a beginner, if you just started reading you are definitely going to learn a few things or at least get used to some grammar points.
It's easy, short and I think it doesn't have any slang so it's way better for a beginner than Yotsubato imo, the latter has a lot of slang and characters intentionally speaking like a retard.

BUT like >>17034983 mentions, there is a good chance that it'll bore you to death, so you are probably better of just reading what you want, of course that only applies if you can read it somewhat comfortably with a texthooker or if it has furigana or some aid.

In my case I couldn't texthook the game I wanted to play so bad so I just stuck with Hanahira and looked for something interesting that can be hooked afterwards.

Also just pirate the shit out Hanahira.

Saw the JLPT vocab deck in the cor, do you recommend it?

Also pic related, is it fucked beyond repair or why did no one fix it thus far?
Shouldn't it only be 2 lines of code in CSS to fix this?

The only thing you really need when starting out reading is a parallel translation. Everything else, such as grammar guides, is there for convenience.

Translations are usually garbage. The most useful general advice is to use grammar guides and vocabulary lists as references but to wing it (i.e. "don't think, feel") when you read.

>>17036385
The only thing you're gifted in is deluding yourself into thinking you're actually learning anything.
>>
>>17036385
>Haven't you had times when you just have no idea what a particular phrasing in Japanese means despite formally understanding the grammar and the words?
Yes. Because formally understanding the grammar and words doesn't mean jack shit. You need reading comprehension, which is only related to your technical reading ability, not tied to it. Apply some critical thinking and stop refusing to accept that you're uncertain about things you can't possibly know yet.
>>
>>17036395
Okay. So you're saying, the only foreign people that should be capable of understanding Japanese have to be some geniuses of critical thinking, even though any Jap retard can understand his own (colloquial) language pretty much perfectly.

Because, a translation hinders that process exactly how? I just want to know how exactly coming to understand this post >>17026701 through this explanation >>17026776 was unhelpful to me, for example.

Critical thinking doesn't mean "solve puzzles". Critical thinking means "stop assuming what you're assuming and stop being a retard".

>unhelpful

I never said it was unhelpful. I said parallel translations are usually garbage. There's a very big difference. If there really was a good parallel translation out there for everything you wanted to read, go for it. But that's not how reality works. Whatever translation exists for what you want to read is going to be pure garbage. Period.

Hi /djt/.

Sorry for potential dumb question, but how long did it take for any of you before you had a vague understanding of what was being said by Japanese people?
>>
>>17037459
a month
>>
>>17037463
Thanks.

I'm more interested in comprehending what is being said than speaking and writing. It's often easier to understand what is being said when it comes to L2s. Would you think that's the case? Do you have an easier time understanding Japanese than speaking it?
>>
>>17037498
You can only speak what you completely understand.
>>
>>17037505
I think I'm just doing a poor job wording my question.

I speak English as a second language, and though I regard my English vocabulary to be absolutely appalling, I can still comprehend all of which I'm being told.
Do you think that translates into Japanese to some extent? Are you better at understanding what you're being told, than speaking the language itself?

Why the hell are you posting half-sentences here in the first place? Context is posting the FULL sentence, as well as multiple lines surrounding the sentence. The meaning in that completely changed now as the phrase before it is modifying the 自分.

It should be extremely obvious from the context that you alone have, but that is a response to the 長官 most likely complaining about something in the previous line. In a "don't blame yourself/me/other, blame your bad luck" way.
