>>748305905i fucking hate anki but it's the only way i can remember shit for med school. It's fucking miserable
Just because you learn Japanese that doesn't mean you're any less brown.
>>748306057It's not about changing your race, it's about avoiding this shit
>>748306135idgi
This shit just doesn't work for me.
>>748305905i have absolutely no fucking idea how to use this software. zero clue how it works
>>748306176It's like sweet baby, but with fart jokes.

>>748306252it's okay. not everyone is built for it. im sure your aptitudes lie elsewhere, such as in foraging and chucking spears n shit
>>748306057the Japanese ARE brown
>>748305905>game helps you understand and relate to 50% of the population
>>748306364you start out by downloading a precompiled bunch of flashcards, import said flashcards, set your limits (10 new words a day, 9999 maximum reviews, whatever you want) with the gear icon, and then you start going through the cards one by one.You can make your own cards later following a template.
>>748307032i tried to set it up and create my own flashcards or whatever but i was too low IQ and i couldn't figure out how to even work the software at alli just want to play untranslated loli VNs
my mining deck has over 20000 cards and i still feel like i don't know shit about japanese

After I finished the core 6k kani I just didn't see any reason to keep doing it
>>748308190>Kratos, press circle on that barely legal teen ass next to you!>NO. We must be better men and not sexualize women.
>>748305905I wonder if you could have an AI put together a deck of cards now. Hell, I know for sure you could easily prompt your own custom flash card program. It feels like it is easier now than ever.

>>748305905umm japanese bros, what the fuck is this?>same kanji appears twice in a single word but contains different fucking readings?
thanks anon. i will try again
>>748308609kanji have multiple readingshope that cleared it up for you
>>748308609that's just pronounced hǎo what the fuck are japanese smoking?
>>748305905>Started using it to learn JP>Already hearing characters say some of the words I saw there on vidya with JP voicesI'm doing 10 to 15 words a day and not in a rush to get good, it definitely helps
>>748308524I did exactly that. I was asking ChatGPT japanese grammar questions in english and noticed that many of the answers very extremely vague and even wrong at times, so I decided to start asking it all in japanese instead. Problem was, my japanese grammar-related vocabulary was very lacking, so i had ChatGPT draft up a hundred technical grammar words for me to add to anki
Remember kids. This is a supplement and not a main learning source. Don't be an anki-drone.
Using Anki has left me in despair
>>748309000Prompting in Japanese actually seems pretty smart as it sort of tests your knowledge and ability to use the language.
>>748306872Japs used to be considered brown. They got upgrade when they started competing with the west in semiconductor/microchip technology during the second half of the 20th century.
>>748309317well it was more about ChatGPT becoming useless when mixing multiple languages. Having questions and answers all in a single language makes for better responses from ChatGPT
>>748308609Yeah. Welcome to kanji
>>748309501Probably helps too because western Japanese learning material is largely shit and when you ask in English it looks for these instead of the actual rules and what the Japanese think of their language.

>>748306364So look up a guide on Google or Youtube.
>>748308609>the Japanese word すき means "like">the Japanese word このむ means "like">the Chinese character 好 means "like">when importing Chinese writing, assign the character for "like" to both existing words that mean "like"Readings are a meme. Words and meanings are what matters.
>>748310146yeah but if i read 好き好んで as すきすんで、the japs will think im a 馬鹿
>>748309934Just consume more input, I've never studied kanji in isolation and can recognize the difference between most of those by sight.
>>748310146Don't you naturally pick up on readings if you see them repeatedly (and the ones you don't either don't matter or are rare cases that aren't hard to learn in isolation)? It feels like a lot of people don't consider how some learning naturally brings other parts into the brain and take a very long time trying to work from the wrong place.
>>748305905>tfw haven't touched anki in roughly 2 months>forgot how to write tons of moonrunes, like 鴇色, 諂う, 瓢箪, 箪笥, etc.>jlpt in 2 monthsThe guilt is killing me
>>748310146>>the Japanese word すき means "like">>the Japanese word このむ means "like"We have 使い分け辞典 to disambiguate shit like that. Or if you search online chances are some faggot will have asked about the differences
>>748310662jlpt doesn test writing tho
i thought i'd make huge progress during summer holiday and i havent even done reviews now i'm like 400 cards fucking deep

I don't get how people learn languages with flashcards. Seems like such a roundabout way to go about it, and it rarely has practical applications. To me it was always easier to just dive right into the language. Read a book in that language, play a book in that language, watch TV shows and YouTube videos in that language. At the start you have to translate individual words frequently to the point you can barely enjoy what you're doing, but it only takes a few months to become proficient. After that you can read a grammar book to learn the formal rules. I'm fluent in 4 languages all thanks to this. Of course Japanese is not one of them, that's the most useless language ever for a Westerner.
>>748311484You learn vocabulary through flashcards, not the language. The language is learned through reading/watching/listening/speaking.
>>748311484How do you expect someone to read kanji without knowing how they're read or what they mean
>>748311601Why are you learning Japanese?
>>748309934>i can get some of these, and all the hirigana and katakanaiiiii'm learning
>>748305905That's not a game.
>>748311926not bing bing wahoo indeed
>>748310856I'm learning a language. The dumb test that only tests words words words is for credentials
>>748311484>aquajeet is retardedNews at 11Flashcards help you pick up and retain shit much faster than hoping to come across it one day. The alternative are vocabulary lists (with nuances and other shit you need to know to use them). The main issue both approaches is they're poor to learn words that aren't semantically transparent (e.g. sekkaku, wake, mono, etc.)>translateYou're dumb or retarded. Try translating "miss (verb)" to jap. Good luck with the 10+ translations>grammar bookNo such thing. Jap books teach sentence patterns and that's it
>>748311484Flashcards are for memorizing things retard, you learn something and then put it to a flashcard so you have easier time remembering it
>>748306364press space or click "good" if you remberpress 1 or click "again" if you forgot
生 has a billion readings . plz make it stop.
>>748306364>Boot thing up>Make some cards>Do them>PRess again if you fail and If you feel like self grading chose between hard, good and easy, if you don't just press good if you got it, the consistency is the important part here>Enable FSRS in options and press optimize button once in a whileIt's a program for flashcards that schedules them for you, that's it
>>748314049Because you need to focus on words, not readings dumbo>生む 生まれる (be born, transitive/intransitive pair)>生える 生やす (grow (e.g. mustache, grass))>生かす/活かす (more or less 活用. also let live), 生きる (you need to know this), 生ける (way less common)>生 (raw)>生(き) used in a few words like 生地>生う(archaic)>生(セイ) which is everywhere (e.g. 発生, 生産)>生(ジョウ). not super common. in words like 往生That's the 12 readings for the jouyou table
>>748313141>Try translating "miss (verb)" to japGive me a sentence and I'll do it
>>748314049don't worry. its the only one with the most readings. just remember the common ones and move on
>>748314049Anyone teaching you Japanese that tries to get you to learn readings of a kanji in isolation is evil. Learn readings in association with vocabulary, the way they are actually used, and it will come easily.
any japanese bros know how to read this? i think it's colloquial:昨今ジーズナツ
>>748309934it's bc you don't actually know kanji. learn to hadwrite

>>74831772take a break and then start over again. seeing the easy shit when you come back to learning is a great confidence boost.go visit japan or your local asian store while your at it and see if you can recognize kanji.
>>748315231No you have to list all the words>外す (miss a shot)>抜けている (missing teeth)>見逃す, 聞き逃す (miss a show, miss a line)>乗り遅れる (miss a train)>会いたい, 会いたかった, 会えなくて寂しい (miss (person))>Xが恋しい (miss your hometown)>etc. etc.

If I learn kanji the gateway to DLsite will open. Just... gotta hold on for one more day and the next and the next. Dick energy dick energy dick energy. Think of the loli. HNRGHH
Fuck off, weebs. This is a med fag app now.
>>748306872The Japanese of today are more European than the Europeans of today.By the way, I'm not talking genetics here, far from it.Meanwhile Europe has been diversified to hell and has lost itself. We can only hope, Japan fends that off.
>>748317772>"enter a room and forget why i entered a room"That's just the doorway effect, not something that indicates you're particularly forgetful.
>>748318819You can unironically thank the CIA for it. They were initially going to let it go the way of Europe but then Korea got invaded so they realized they needed to turn it into a super conservative traditional state to fend off communism. If only the same thing was done with Germany.
>>748317576Kanji breaks up sentences you fucking nigger
>>748317576Funny, I can read that sentence without problems. That just shows that spaces aren't really needed.
>>748308358Is that your excuse for failing to learn japanese?
>>748319995But I play Japanese games just fine?
>>748320024That's not what I asked.
>>748305905*game is a waste of time and you should just read more because reading is a natural SRS and it's a more efficient way of learning.
>>748306176They were a localization company, pic related is an example of what they did to the text in games.That's not all, they also used to change the gameplay, giving all enemies twice the HP and making your weapons do 50% damage, and they even changed things so much in some games that they completely broke one and you are unable to finish it because the final boss has so much HP you literally can't kill him.
>>748317772try different mnemonic methods?
>>748305905No, it fucking doesn't. Quite the opposite, really.
>>748308227日本語でおkwwww
>>748308835Chinks literally pull the same shit. Chinks can't talk.
>>748317772how bad is your sleep?
>>748310146No, it doesn't actually. In Chinese 好 means good.Like is 喜歡 in Chinese, which is like the Japanese word 歓喜 except backwards. But that word means delight in Japanese, and neither of those characters means "like".
>>748309934Literal retard.
What do you anki gamers think about this method? Watch anime you've seen a billion times before with jap subtitles on and set -200ms or so, and you have to say them before the character does and you have to know what the words mean by switching to the english fansub, and if you fuck you you gotta do it again? And then you repeat the episode until you know everything.
What's the game that you want to experience in its original language the most? For me is either Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy VI-IX>>748308358Did you immerse while studying the deck or only after?
>>748309768This is vandalism. Victor Ireland must have had contempt for the original work. LAWL WHO CARES IT'S SOME RETARDED SHIT FOR KIDS MADE BY SLANTS. JUST PUT WHATEVER!
>>748310856It does indirectly, actually. You'd know that if you even took a practice test.
>>748317772Walking (activity) actually helps. If you're otherwise healthy but you're really struggling remembering anything, you can try retrieval practices. Before going to bed try to recall your entire day from waking up, to brushing teeth, ... every little detail you can remember.
>>748321093havent tried it but it sounds like a decent way to pick up pronunciation/intonation of words.
>>748318470Oh so you can tell from context. So there is no problem with translating things contextually as you read a book or play a game, since you have the context right in front of you.Only a low IQ moron thinks a language have "multiple words for the same thing" is a problem. This is how literally any language works.
>>748306028>tried using it to make full-blown flash cards out of .ppt presentations when I was in pharmacy schoolAbsolute worst torture imaginable. By the time I was done making the cards I had nothing left in me to actually memorize them.

Found an old game card for WoW. Modified some addons that can show multiple languages. Was pretty fun until the time ran out. Also, interesting to see how different the localization sometimes is. With voice over this would've been perfect.Only problem is paying Blizzard.
>>748322383use SPP or Azcore, and please tell me what addon you used
>>748322027what are you reading?
>>748322238>>748322225you niggas serious? if you cant even focus for three hours then you'll never learn jap. if you're cooked from tiktok and shorts, then just quit that shit permanently and your brains will heal. now go download some LNs that are continuations of anime you've previously enjoyed. if i was reading a boring LN then I too wouldnt be able to stand 3 hours. that's why you have to pick something enjoyable. if it's enjoyable, you'll see you can read all day. well maybe not in the start since your reading speed will be at a snail's pace which is kinda excruciating...
>>748322027I can hardly watch one episode of anime without falling asleep dude I gotta get my shit together asap
>>748321684>Only a low IQ moron thinks a language have "multiple words for the same thing" is a problemIt's a fucking pain in the ass. When you're trying to talk to someone and you lack the "one right word (tm)" it feels agonizing to not be able to say a thing>even something as simple as "take care" is a fucking pain (お元気で?ご達者で?)>I wish you success (頑張って or ご健闘を祈っております?)It's all guessing memorized phrases that can't be easily tied back to the language>even words like "disambiguate are a pain" 曖昧さを無くす? disambiguation is translated 曖昧さ回避>words like lose? 負ける and 敗北, no wait you also have 敗れる... and 失う... and 失くす(NOT 無くす), and 喪失... and 見失う... and...>long time? 長い間, and とっくに, and 久しぶり, and 昔, and...>so? こうして(and so peace returned), and さては(so, I heard you want to become an astronaut), and XのあまりY or blabla過ぎてblabla(adverbial clauses), and かくも, and...Your head splits from having to think of a gorillion words and the lack of a repository that lists shit like that. Weblio doesn't cover nearly enough. Neither does the LEJD>b-but you rememberBecause I fucking wrote shit down into txt files for quick reference faggot. One would expect some faggot would take the work of doing shit like that
kanji is the easy partall of their words sounding so samey in speech is what's filtering me
>>748322982Nah I don't use any of that stuff. I got a bad roll at birth. ADHD is a bitch.

>>748323116>all of their words sounding so samey in speech is what's filtering meThat's funny I can't remember a kanji to save my life but I can repeat just about any word perfectly. I blame all the hours playing Yakuza.
>>748323182Reading japanese until you have a mental model of it from listening immersion is retarded. It's like trying to draw anatomy before knowing how to draw AND knowing anatomy, complete waste of time.
>>748323182Don't listen to this anon. You'll never make it no matter what you do.

>>748323385I get that you're trying to gatekeep Japanese by giving out false advice that will make people quit but you should do that in places other than /v/
>>748322603"multilanguage" does most of the stuff. I had just tweaked it to look nicer and maybe only show English if I pressed alt.Doesn't come with Japanese iirc.> use SPP or Azcorewas considering it, but didn't come around yet
>>748323234i meant more so when listening, not trying to speak. they speak fast as fuck, don't even try to speak clearly and all their syllables sound similar.if i don't focus really hard it just goes over my head and even when i focus i can't understand nearly as much without jp subs.
>>748323434Fellow new anon is it just me or do you look up every unknown word and mine itI know I shouldnt because it slows you down so much but I feel lost without understanding each sentence in terms of vocabulary completion
>>748323561Oh yeah. Natural Japanese can go fast as fuck. That's just practice m'boy.
>>748323114>take care>気を付けてwooooooooooow it's almost like people say things in ways that aren't necessarily the basic and obvious construction of words and you need to learn those in order to be a fluent speakerIt is true that Japanese can be really annoyingly reliant on set phrases that you just have to individually run into and learn but you picked a comically dogshit example there anon
>>748322027>three hours of novelsAfter only 3 months? Doubtful.
>>748323182Based just read more GODLarpers will never understand or acknowledgeSeriously though just read fucking more. About different topics, from different resources. Just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeead and read until you make it.
>>748323621i'm just unsure if i should ditch the subs and understand less or focus more on understanding but rely on them as a crutch
>>748305905Spec Ops: The LineI used to commit war crimes all the time.Now whenever I commit war crimes, I feel kinda bad about it for a few minutes.

>>748323696A lot of time I see people suggesting going through once with subs, then turning them off and watching again. Or vice versa.
>>748305905The Thai deck I'm using right now is fucking shit it has so many useless cards like phonetic groups and class distinctions I just want to learn the fucking characters holy fuck.

>>748305905I started reading Ika Musume in Japanese a few months ago, was mining my words and shit then I kinda just stopped and I can't tell if it was because reading it in Japanese made it a drag or the Manga itself was boring.
>>748308358Is kanji learning really just grinding day in day out over several years or is there a way to naturally learn it?
>>748323680As much as I approve of doing something more, that's not really a method. It's equivalent to telling somone to "git gud." You still have to learn "how to learn" from your target language.
>>748323116Trying to mentally filter through different homophones and on pronunciations to decypher what the fuck was just said, all the while three new sentences has been uttered that you haven't even begun to process...Listening is often fucking brutal.

>>748317772Improve your diet and sleep full eight hours a day, preferably at night
>>748323803Moonrunes are taught horribly in the west (hurr durr here are the readings, here's the stroke order). Kanken autists know a lot of tricks (e.g. phonetic and semantic components, radicals, check the etymology). The more you know, the easier it gets. Stroke orders can be guessed 98% of the time from the rules. Remaining 2% is outlier patterns like 土 vs 座る, 王 vs 金, etc.
>>748323809I mean you do need a basic N5-N4 grammar and a core vocabulary of say 2k words that you studied from a word list or flash card deck or whatever.But then it is a fairly valid method for intermediate and up.
>>748323803uhhh..... literally encounter it in the wild? wtf kind of question is that. unless you live in africa or some shit go to your local asian market and find something japanese.

>>748323562Someone told me to do both, so sometimes I just sit uncomfortably and struggle through it, and other times I flip between the dictionary and whatever I'm reading.I record what I missed as I go, and I don't make cards until I'm wrapping up for the night so I can review them over the next week.
>>748324078The katakana ones are pure bullshit
>>748305905I used this for three months. I didn't learn Japanese and I wouldn't call myself a better person for doing it.
>>748324019Still not a method. You need a way to analyze and parse sentences from what you read. Native-level content will throw advanced concepts at you almost immediately, and it won't be immediately obvious just from the dictionary what you're looking at.
>>748324078>シツンソthis shit always fuck me up especially when its handwritten or some kind of funky font.
>>748323797>Ika Musumethat was the first anime i ever watched way back in the summer of '17. it was also what got me into anime. i remember the only reason i watched that gayass looking shit was because my nigga ice poseidon had that blue haired character as his profile pic on twitch. it was unlike anything ive ever watched before. a whole new world. got me all excited n shit. and now im here, learning nipponese. my entire life changed because of ika musume

I have been reading children books but barely progressing, any tips?
>>748324270once someone pointed this out to me i never mixed them up again
I just accepted that I am eternal dekinai. No matter how much I try to get into learning japanese I just give up after a week or two. I just don't have a drive for japenese or anything else like that(blender, drawing, music etc. etc.). I am not sure if I just don't find stuff I try to learn enjoyable or is something just wrong with me since I even gave up piano after 3 fucking years.

Reading comprehension and speed improved greatly in a couple of weeks and it's a self-feeding loop where the more you start enjoying the process the more consistent benefits you will reap.

You can use anki for other languages besides Japanese. Interestingly, you may find it a lot easier to learn the language your great-grandparents spoke

>>748324910i dont know how to start immersingmy goal was to reach about 800 words out of 1500 in kaishi, it's a great deck honestly it's like my fucking 10th approach genuinely and i'm actually getting somewhere this timei can understand quite a lot already, enough to see how shit most translations are i've been doing 0-15 new cards because my idea was that if burn out i'm ngmi and it worked because i got further than i ever havei'm more focused on spoken language i feel like learning reading will be much easier after i know the language
>>748324732I implore you to abstain for moral reasons. Eating meat is perfectly natural as we are a carnivorous species, but consuming the milk meant for the nourishment and rearing of another creature? It's wrong. It's always been wrong. I don't care how many people have it on a daily basis. I don't care how long it's been part of our culture. Milking is degenerate and I am above degeneracy. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it, actually.
I CAN work on vocabulary or kanji for hours or force myself to listen to shit I can barely follow along BUT grammar study is VERY fucking soul crushing for me bros.Anyone else here feeling similar? How can I be done with grammar study as fast as possible? Help this anon out.

>>748325380Treat grammar like words and analyze sentences as though each part were a word.
>>748325361>i dont know how to start immersingBy starting at the very beginning of course!https://tadoku.org/japanese/en/free-books-en/?level%5B%5D=l-start
>>748325032I had the exact same problems as you, even tried out the kaishi deck and burned out. There is really no other way around it, you brute force memorization of vocab by being exposed to it over and over during immersion, and looking it up of course. Get a texthooker, boot up a easy vn, and start reading asap, it's going to be slow and painful but it will get better
Anki makes no sense. Normal people don't learn languages like this. This shit only makes sense for gay ass college exams (Things you'll forget completely next year)
>>748324943there is other software like this, i use meikipop and it works for everything not just vns, i use it for games too https://github.com/rtr46/meikipop

If I will feel like losing some more fat I will just go fast a few times and be okay. >>748325134I know, I have been drinking kefir and brewing linseed(freshly grounded at home) for my gut health.>>748325370I can understand your reasoning but our moral compasses differ.

>>748324559I can do programming, math, science, I can just sit down and absorb all the knowledge in no time like sponge, and apply it with no friction.Then I sit down with Anki and I struggle with just 0-5 new words a day, with below 50% retrieval rate. I can understand grammar but can't practice it because I can't read because I know barely any words...And then I sit down to learn music and I do not even know what to do because everyone says different things and everyone wants me to pay for their special donut steel course...Why do the brain works great for one thing and completely fails on others
>>748325453Thanks. Is it considerably easier than games like nekopara or danganronpa, or are they roughly same ballpark?
>>748325384The go-to recommendation on the old kon site was Narcissu (the original). The narration is repetitive by design to give a certain impression. The narration also features stylistic elements that are actually predisposed to help English JSLs, no spoilers. Now be warned it has some medical terminology but in terms of grammar and other vocab it is so, so, so easy.

>>748325380most native speakers of a language can not explain to you how their grammar worksyou should look it up to understand the sentences but there's no point to put too much time into dedicated grammar study, doubly so if you don't enjoy doing it

There's a big difference thereAlso if you can't find material you can read then make it yourself duh, if you know ten words you can assemble them in at least five different sentences and then ask chatgpt for feedback

>>748325932I don't think many people learn the readings and pronunciations of foreign numbers, they just learn their meanings.To this day, when I see a number like 12 in an English/Japanese sentence, I just think of it in my first language instead of reading it in English or Japanese.
SRS is good make sure you get some practice doing whatever you use the language for otherwise you will mostly just be good at doing flashcards. Clozemaster is good too. I use both. However, I don't really care about learning a language and just wanted to learn a little bit of vocab from a few different languages. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening are all different skills you should to work on. Also, get a mnemonic book or two and practice them. You should be visualizing a lot of stuff initially. I prefer Supermemo, but most people will use Anki.Many card games are good to learn about probability and risk taking. Overwatch is generally really mentally stimulating. Then you have all the relational frame brain training games and n-back which are pretty good. Writing by hand, drawing, and juggling are also good to practice. Reading helps build your focus. The factory games you can use to get into systems theory and engineering.
Good night/v/Do your anki reviews but most importantly immerse in something you enjoy for at least one hour Remember that YOU ARE DOING ITWE ALL GONNA MAKE IT

No point in reading if you do not know anything.Anyway, that was me year ago. Then I moved to Renshuu because I was completely burned out on Anki. Now having about 1k words I feel like I am ready to immersion and reading because fuck flashcards. I did actually start mining deck 3 days ago and it reminded me why I hated Anki in the first place. Still, I will just put anki on backburner, do few new cards a day to keep myself sane, and just try to read instead. I have already started reading a VN I read in English back in highschool, but maybe I will change for one of the recommended above. Gotta cross check their difficulty with that jiten/jpdb page.
>>748325658Brains are curious things, indeed.I wouldn't say I have trouble with attaining information, it is just that I do not feel like gaining it at all in the first place, like in uni I learn stuff and I can remember and use what I learned in practice but I don't do it out of need to learn but just to get a retarded paper so I have better chances of avoiding being a wagie. Every thing I tried I just don't feel a drive to continue doing it(piano, music production, drawing, blender, programming[and all IT stuff like databases, servers or networking], gamedev, photo/video editing, learning jap or learning about topics like history, guns or tanks, origami and probably more I already forgot about), I feel like the only thing I am passionate about learning are related to vidya("lore" of some games, mechanics, patters of NPCs, how to play a game[like picking up other weapon in MH for example])I am not sure if I am just forcing myself to get a hobby/learn something or what.

I do actually know common radicals and can memorize kanji and words based on radicals. But memorizing word reading and recognizing them fast is order of magnitude harder.
>>748326660>>748326719Forcing yourself to memorize counting readings instead of picking them up through immersion is probably one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever seen.
How many of you can actually write kanji as opposed to just recognizing it?

>>748327659Anime...haha
Locking in and finishing RTK in ~2 months is the best thing I ever did for my Japanese learning, it's such a crazy good foundation that it made dropping the study completely nonsensical which solved all my consistency issues
>>748327497No one is memorizing a dictionary unless they are an autistic savant and "wining scribble" is a way more narrow task than what a language entails (Even when you exclude everything else besides passive consumption like listening and writing)Bet you felt smart posting that though.
>>748327637JAV has been so much better now that i understand it and it was already great before
>>748327205I would want to learn electronic music production, so composing and sound design. I can and started learning theory, but that's not very productive if you do not apply it immediately. But I can't apply if because I lack intuition to construct melodies. I can know how to construct my kicks and sidechaining and all but so what if I can't make melodies for which there is no general algorithm, it has to come from intuition.So I started practicing piano and I was making slow progress in it but I struggled to find right songs for my level that I would actually want to play. And sure I could slowly get better at piano and hope that this will give me intuition I seek, but I would have to put a ton of time on this uncertain wager and so I rather just use that time for learning Japanese for now, I can't do everything at once. At least with Japanese I can see some path forward instead of just hoping that everything will somehow turn out ok. With music I do not even have any reliable learning material because it's a huge area and everyone does things their own way. Unlike most people I do not want to learn play guitar, or whatever, I do not want to make professional house music or generic pop boring crap, I want to make stupid speedcore tracks like TQBF, mix genres like j-core artists, download renoise and do experimental breakcore. But there is no obvious paths for that, everything is aimed for common denominator and seemingly you gotta have 20 years of experience and extrapolate from it.
>>748327792>No one is memorizing a dictionaryyou have literally this whole thread dedicated to a flashcard program and people admitting seeking immersion. lol
>>748326942>
>>748327884>3DPD slopcringe, eroge is better.
>>748326460>I was going to ask how what you're claiming is even possibleIt's the easiest way to learn a language.People struggle with directly studying a language for a lot of time, most study regimes are shit like 2 hours per week. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile in life you can learn with only 2 hours per week of dedication.Meanwhile if you e.g. play 20 hours of vidya per week, and you exclusively play in the language you're trying to learn, that's already 20 hours per week of contact with the language. Now assume you also set your phone to that language, and you listen to music in that language, and so on, soon you'll be in touch with it 24/7, by that point it is only a matter of months until you're fluent.
>>748327954my only experience is Nekopara
>>748317063Spaces are useless with kanji, good for all kana sentences for retards and kids, I'll give you that.
>>748328006nekopara is too vanilla for me
>>748325643You don't have to go through them. They're designed to be exhaustive, and, at the end of all of it, you might not even understand how said grammar is functioning in your particular sentence. Let's take the post above yours as an example >>748325585We can see we have an N3 piece of grammar (ってコトなんだ), which is a colloquial way of say と言う事だ ("it means that ..."). Now, if I go to Bunpro, we get a semi-long explanation on all the different uses and why it means what it means.You know what's easier than that? Popping that sentence into AI and having it tell you that ってコトなんだ = "it means that" and moving on.
>>748327885if you want to understand melodies you need to first understand chord progressions and intervals. what function in note has relative to each other and what function chords have in a scale but i'm learning guitar so i cant help you with resources but it should be 100x easier to implement on piano since there's a reason why guitarists are famously inept at music theory
>>748327227I can relate to that. I would love to make educational content or just talk about my projects and interesting problems I've solved, but not with my ESL voice. It's a shame, I could do it for free, for fun, but well I do not want to subject other people to that.I just settled down for mute videos with just text overlays akin to videos from random Japanese hobbyists I used to watch in early 10s. But this limits me to only visualization heavy videos because what's the point of doing entire essay in form of video if it's only text? It could be a blog post, and if it could be a blog post, no one would read it because no one cares for blogs, especially if they have one post every few months. So I do virtually nothing.
>>748327946god bless you anon
what's the minimum grammar i should learn before trying to immerse
>>748328245
>>748323882But what? Reading a newspaper apparently takes knowledge of 2000 kanji. Is it supposed to simply be read and I have to hope to encounter the same ones over and over?
>>748328181I think people still misunderstand how insane AI is right now. You can learn Japanese way more easily and quickly by prompting current LLMs for help with sentences or grammar concepts. If you're ever confused, just ask an LLM and it will break everything down for you. It's like having a fluent Japanese grammar expert at your beck and call with infinite time.
>>748309934Fuuck i decided to start learning Japanese today, how fucked am I?

>>748328316The dolly explanation is so bad
>>748328339this rabbit hole will eat up years of your life if you don't immerse yourself. sticking to just SRS is only for the wageslave. kanji is the ultimate filter.
>>748328190I know what they do, like I said I read theory. Even more so than classical western theory, for some time I was quite interested in alternative schools that center around just intonation and microtonal scales. But even if you know how to build a progression and role of intervals and the construction of cords, you still need that intuition to actually fill in melodies. There is no method or algorithm for them, you just gotta infer it from experimentation and study of other songs.
>>748328321Yeah, I feel like people still are stuck with textbooks when we have essentially interactive dictionaries at our fingertips. It also can interpret vocabulary and expressions that may or may not have English dictionary entries.
>>748328245I would finish N5 and N4 topics at least
>>748323114Maybe learning Bantu or Toki Pona is more your style if you can't wrap your head around it.
>>748328468well the most basic idea is that you focus on target tones and play something in between them but yeah part of learning is just ripping off stuff and synthesizing thingsyou know, just like math

>>748328181>>748328321this unironically sounds like it should be the next guide for /djt/
Am I supposed to memorize the pronunciation too whenever I do the 6k deck?
>>748328204Even if people cared about blogs with current state of search engines it would be almost impossible for blog to be found unless you promote it very hard everywhere you can and nobody is interested in watching an video essay without any voiceover, since there is big chunk of people that but those essays in the background and listen to them.How about trying doing essays in your own language? The amount of people that would watch your content would be much lower but you would be able to speak clearly, assuming your voice is good enough in your language.
>>748328339Kana is the first filter. It might feel overwhelming, but it's actually really easy in comparison to the rest. There is many ways to overcome it, some things to work for some and not for others, do not be afraid of trying different methods. Out of the most popular you can just keep writing them down, or try https://djtguide.neocities.org/kana/ or even Duolingo.The point is to not give up until you learn kana. I did that on first try and I regret it now, I could have been able to freely speak Japanese by now. It is a mindless drill, but the point is that it is required to do literally anything else. Once you do it, you have your first hold on the language, and everything else will eventually start clicking. It will take years or more, but once you did that first step you will see the actual path forward.

>>748325361Bro, that's ass backwards. 漢字 *IS* the fucking language. Half the fucking time nips can't even communicate without explicitly describing what kanji are in the word by explaining the radicals because there's so many goddamn homophones the sound is almost meaningless.
Just did my cards for the day. I'm kinda glad that kanjis also have other meanings when combined with other ones, now that I passed 400 it started getting more tricky to memorize new ones but still pretty doable.I'm improving though so I'm happy.

>>748329554All of that is better achieved by seeing more use cases in Japanese. And translations are often times so bad they fuck up your comprehension.

>>748329650i do hope you're doing more than just anki.
>>748329554'cuz that's no longer immersion. Not that you shouldn't record phrases you don't know, or look shit up later, but in the moment it should be all japanese.you're not immersed in a game if you're checking your phone, or reading a dictionary or guide instead of just playing.

It seems more likely now that people want to get out discussion before it ends or something, like these are more genuine. Something about them are just more human.

There is just not much soul in it, and even if I could make soulful content I do not think there is any actual audience for it. I am a hardcore weeb, 4chan is in my blood. I make jokes and do things that are relevant here, not there. Not that I care about view counts, but I much rather have something that I can post here or send to my friends(who 90% are english speaking) than just shout in the void I am out of touch with.>>748329771I feel disdain for AI voice.

>>748328761Check out >>>/int/djpYou can't just start with immersion if you know literally 0 about the language. But you should strive to get off the beginner materials and start with immersion sooner than later. It is said that many people hold it off for way too long than they should.Learn kana, then start learning basic words and grammar. Once you know at maybe a thousand of words and completed or do significant progress in your grammar lessons, you can start looking for immersion. You can also try studying kanji and see if it helps you, some find it useful, some do not bother.

>>748329849Not really in a rush to learn, but I'm listening to some shit in Japanese and I'm starting to understand more and more what people are saying.>>748330019The time it will take for you to learn will never change unless you start anon. In my current pace, I will probably be able to play something like pokemon early next year, just take like 20 to 30 minutes of your day and do it, no need to rush.
>>748330008A vector in layman's terms would be a line or direction, a casual sequence would be a series of related events, and a universal basis would be a shared, underlying reason for something.So he's saying a coincidence occurs when a certain chain of events crosses paths with a different chain of events that has an unrelated cause. Grammatically simple, but conceptually difficult.

>>748330753>Once you know at maybe a thousand of words and completed or do significant progress in your grammar lessons, you can start looking for immersionbro that can't be right. i' have like 400 or maybe less under my belt with the very basic grammar shit and i can sorta navigate through the pokemon games. there is hella loan words so you get a jist of whats going on and i've learn shit like tatakai, nigeru.
>>748331051Well, pokemon will be rather simpler than reading actual VN or LN. But yeah, you should start reading and listening as soon as you can.

>>748330753Thanks, i appreciate when anons give good advice instead of saying "lol retard kys lmao"
This is pretty easy ngl. I didn't realize how many games use pure kana script as well, which is rather interesting.
>>748330019If you want to learn Japanese just do it dumbass, if you don't want to then just don't and have no reason to regret not doing it
>>748331232I share your opinion regarding their cucked dronelike mentality, but I am still learning JP to read vns, doujins, and play dlsite hrpgsloppa.
>>748308524anki's great for kanji but even after 10k+ cards down and lots of immersion my production still sucked so I used it to build a flashcard-esque system for practicing that and where ai grades the output.
>>748330827You should play the game. It let's you be a MOTHERFUCKER
>>748331040>>748330352I am sorry that I will cut our conversation short but I shall go to sleep now since it is 2:30 and my bedwife is calling me. It was nice talking to you.Have a good one.
>>748331357Yeah, it's easier than kanji scripts, though AI does a lot of the work to help define the text. Back in the day, these games were considered harder, due to the limitation of dictionary tools.
>>748331623I just look up the words I don't know on Jisho. I guess it also helps that I actually understand the grammar, which is apparently rare.
>>748331903You have the translation right below, which is informing you on the grammar and vocab. Not criticizing you. That's how you learn, but that's also why you're having less trouble than the people of old.
I like reading kanji but reading kana tires the shit out of me, I wish they'd just add spaces or tighten that shit up somehow
>>748332052Nigga I put that translation there.
>>748331620I think we've covered most of it. Thanks for the talk and good night.And I guess I will go back to working on a dream video script and considering getting someone to do a voice over.
>>748332239Uh, why? You teaching a course on it or something? lol
>>748331560>立場上>you can't even be a real motherfuckerLame.
>>748332226Kanji is what divides the kana.
>>748332316Not always and not enough to make reading kana soup easier
>>748332226Kana-only games typically have spaces.
>>748332292Because I wanted to show off for the thread. It's quite easy to take a screenshot and add text into it.
>>748332226i wish they would just get rid of kana entirely and make up new kanji for those words
>>74832871520 a day is pretty standard for jp learners? I know some friends that read a ton and they can handle 40-50 with the same retention I have at 30
>>748332439Not talking about those either, I'm talking about getting a sentence that's 90% kana with maybe one kanji +
Katakana should be written in blocks like Korean, it would make gaijin words more compact and easier to read.
>>748332512Katakana is easy enough to understand as is.
>>748332443Is it some program you're using?
>>748332503If they're such geniuses, then why aren't they discovering cold fusion instead of learning kanji to goon to NTR doujins, huh!?
>>748311484Flashcards are mostly for memorizing readings and you actually pick up most of the meanings through reading. There's a reason anki fiends that don't do anything else cant read
>>748332443Oh, looks like a program when you do that.
>>748332594I take a screenshot of the emulator screen, then I open the image, then I add text to it.
>>748332504Any examples? Those are pretty rare.

>>748332642Because they're turbo degenerates that spend their entire day gooning to random VNs

Friendly reminder, if you know English you're already 20% on your way to learning Japanese.
>>748309934>oh nooo I have to memorize the difference between like 30 things
>>748332907let me guess, the "correct" way to translate it, according to you, would be "this is impolite", which is pure ESL.
>>748333071nope, wrong again
>>748332690It's very common to run into a sentence where you have e.g. lots of okurigana, hiragana-only words, particles, filler words, a kana name, random use of hiragana on a word that's usually kanji etc >あのね早くしなくてはならないのにまだお部屋のなかできょろきょろしてばかりでいちゃだめだよほんとに。

>>748333131Is that a real sentence you found and was that exactly how it was punctuated?
>>748333152
>>748332936I agree with this and in some cases it might even be a higher percentage. But I admittedly got lost after customer in that first bubble. Some of their transliterations are mind boggling even when you sound them out.
>>748328883
>>748333109>>748333216Okay, I found there was an alternate meaning to the kanji. Thanks.
>>748333216He obviously meant to write "how rude of me!"
>>748333448"Fucking 'A'" is a rare but super douchey sounding phrase and I don't know why. I also don't remember the last time I heard an actual person use it.
