It sounds like the "rolled-r" that shows up in whole bunch of Japanese lects (certain rural dialects, working class Tokyo dialects, older male speech, aggressive/confrontational speech, certain subculture lects)
I don't know about this singer or her style, but maybe she is trying evoke the whole delinquent subculture, which use rolled-r speech.

(very exaggerated) example of it being used in "yakuza" talk:

Any ideas for learning vocabulary? I'm doing the anki "core" decks thing but I don't think it works for me, I just keep hitting "again" over and over and not remembering anything while the review numbers keep pilling up

Lower the new cards per day to 10-15 and set it to show you new cards at the beginning of each day and just keep at it. It gets easier, I was in the same boat. Also, consider doing the Kaishi 1.5k deck instead.

I'm considering dropping it and just try watching anime with subtitles and reading stuff with a dictionary, but I'm afraid I'll just waste my time and end up having to go back to anki anyway with 5 billion reviews built up.

Seems like you are doing the same mistake I did. Anki is just a memorization tool, you have to do immersion constantly. It will even make your Anki reviews easier. Having said that, doing a kanji radical deck for a short period of time isn't a bad ideia if you struggle telling words apart.
As soon as you finish reading this you should immediately go to jimaku.cc and grab some subs for some anime and watch it.

Has anyone here gotten to the point of being able to read the Japanese names in the credits casually, at the speed at which they appear in, like you would in your native language
>>
>>215958705
I'm at the stage where I simply don't have enough vocabulary to actually understand most things, but when you ask people how to learn the vocabulary they tell you to grind le anki decks before anything else(which is probably a huge exageration on their part, but you can see my dilemma)

>>215958764
I look at the word, don't recognise it, click 'again', see it again 2 cards later, can't recognise it at all, then just repeat endlessly until I get a headache. It just doesn't enter my memory
>>
>>215975072
The secret to reading names is classics and poetry but no one ever believes me
Or they just don't want to hear it and want an easier answer

There's two parts to it:
1.) Know what sounds like a Japanese name and what doesn't (comes from exposure to names)
2.) Know a lot of ways to read characters (comes from exposure to characters and words)

When you see a name like 東 you don't have to think
>why is this read あずま that's so random
If you know that あづま is a classic word for "east." You can think,
>is it read with this word for "east" or the other word for "east"?

If you see a name like 敏郎 you can know that としろう sounds a lot more like a person's name than something like びんろう, and the way of knowing that 敏 is read とし is by knowing that とし is a classical adjective for "quick, sharp"
>>
>>215975353
I probably had around 500-1000 words when I started reading manga with help of tools.
Are you studying grammar? You will get a ton of practice on basic words just by studying basic grammar. It goes hand in hand where they help each other.

Don't know if it will help you, but during my learning cards I always said the meaning and reading out loud to myself. Entirely stops the "look at thing, dont use brain power, press next" cycle. You need to make your brain think it's important and build connections to it, for me that's as simple as using it. Stare at the japanese word while saying both the reading and meaning in your head, need to make sure they're all associated in your brain and not separate entities. Do not press next until you can actually look at the japanese word and say both the reading and the meaning in your head, even if it's only been one second since you read it. If you can't do it after one second you definitely won't be able to after a minute of doing other words which is how the again cycle repeats.
Again this is just how I do it, it's probably not at all necessary and I'm sure it can be done faster without once you've done anki a while, but worked for me to get my brain interested in doing the mental work.

Give it a try, maybe it will fix your little slump.

>>215975353
>I look at the word, don't recognise it, click 'again', see it again 2 cards later, can't recognise it at all, then just repeat endlessly until I get a headache. It just doesn't enter my memory
In that case I would recommend learning just the kanji and their meanings in isolation, without the readings or vocabulary definitions, that's what got me out of the exact same situation you're describing, into turning learning Japanese actually fun (I used Koohii Kanji but other popular resources are WaniKani and Kanji Damage)

That way you can start recognizing the kanji instantly and assigning their meanings to the word itself, for example memorizing 自転車 is a bike is a lot easier when you know 自 is "oneself" 転 is "revolving" and 車 is "vehicle", a bike is a vehicle whose wheels revolve because of you, and you carry those meanings to other words that use the same kanji, for example 電車 is an electric (電) vehicle (車) (electric train) and even the 車 part is read the same (though kanji have multiple readings you'll pick up on as you learn), not all words will have meaning combinations this obvious but it's still light years ahead of trying to bruteforce each word's kanji as a picture each time

At that point the only thing you have to remember is how the word is pronounced but that should be much easier when you aren't trying to memorize the complex pictograph combinations at the same time without knowing what you're looking at
>>
>>215975379
Any good classics recommendation/discovery resources? Or must-read lists to start with
>>
>>215975803
I have no idea how many words I actually know, but I can understand some basic stuff. I can understand spoken japanese much better than I can read (because kanji impossibru)
>Are you studying grammar? You will get a ton of practice on basic words just by studying basic grammar
I have picked up basic grammar from listening to stuff, but haven't actually formally studied it. I also found the Cure Dolly videos and have been slowly watching those, the explanations are good but there isn't much vocabulary involved.

I did download the Genki books but I don't think I'll ever be able to read through them, it's way too boring

>>215975819
Yeah, maybe learning the kanji first is smarter since my biggest problem seems to be remembering complex characters. I've been avoiding it because it seems inefficient to learn them in isolation, but I probably shouldn't worry about that if I can't rawdog the vocabulary anyway

Check out DoJG deck, I think it's nice.
Here's how the recognition type DoJG deck looks like on the front.
You get a few random sentences on front and what you're being tested on. If you however over the sentence you get a translation, but obviously don't look at it before you tried reading and understanding.
>>
>>215976725
On the back you get all the other sentences in the random rotation and an explanation from the DoJG textbook.

I feel like I'm a bit retarded for struggling to understand Tae Kim's. I could do it, but it's just that sometimes the explanations aren't sufficient. For example, why does only certain adjectives use が? It explained the others like じやない sufficiently but not that for some reason. I think in this case it's alright to be autistic about it. I keep thinking that maybe I'm an audio learner but I'm too much of an autist ego towards myself that I want to understand the visual way too. Does it matter which way I use to learn Japanese grammar whether it be Tae Kim's or Cure Dolly vids? Any of you guys ever deal with this non issue?
>>
>>215987361
>For example, why does only certain adjectives use が?
Not sure I understand what you mean by this.

>Does it matter which way I use to learn Japanese grammar whether it be Tae Kim's or Cure Dolly vids?
Ultimately, not really. The real understanding will come from immersion and seeing these grammatical structures over and over in the wild. Grammar guides are there to provide scaffolding for the real language-learning process and will eventually be superseded by a deeper, more innate understanding of the language.

I guess it matters in the short term in the sense that it shouldn't discourage you from further learning, and it shouldn't be too confusing to understand. If that's the case then you might want to look for a different place to learn the grammar so you don't give up on the whole thing.

People recommend Tae Kim because it's concise (sometimes to its detriment) and it fast-tracks you through the fundamental bits of Japanese grammar so you can start to immerse quickly. It's not meant to provide a complete understanding of all the grammar points it addresses, nor does it address all the grammar points you need to know. You're expected to come out of it with a lot of gaps that need to be filled with practice later on, and that should be fine.

At that time, the Bhagavan, knowing that the multitude of Bodhisattvas, having entreated him three times, would not cease, then addressed them with these words:

Listen closely now, you of the assembly, to the Tathagata's secret and divine power!
>一切世間天人 及阿修羅 皆謂 今釋迦牟尼佛 出釋氏宮 去伽耶城不遠 坐於道場 得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提
The devas and men, as well as asuras, of all worlds, say that the current Sakyamuni Buddha left the palace of the Sakya clan, and not far from the city of Gaya sat at the seat of enlightenment, attaining perfect awakening.
>然善男子 我實成佛已來 無量無邊 百千萬億那由他劫
However, good sirs, since I truly attained Buddhahood, it has been an immeasurable and limitless number of hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of nayutas of aeons.

Consider, for instance, five hundred thousand myriads of kotis of nayutas of asamkhyeyas of trichiliocosms of worlds.
>假使有人 抹為微塵 過於東方 五百千萬 億那由他 阿僧祇國 乃下一塵
Suppose there were to be a person who ground all these worlds up into fine dust, and then every time he passed, to the east, another five hundred thousand myriad kotis of nayutas of asamkhyeyas of worlds, he would drop one particle of dust.
>如是東行 儘是微塵 諸善男子 於意云何 是諸世界 可得思惟校計 知其數否

>彌勒菩薩等 俱白佛言
Maitreya Bodhisattva and the others addressed the Buddha together, saying:
>世尊 是諸世界 無量無邊 非算數所知 亦非心力所及
Bhagavan, these worlds are immeasurable and limitless, beyond the ken of mathematics and the scope of the mind's powers.
>一切聲聞辟支佛 以無漏智 不能思惟 知其限數
All the sravakas and pratyeka-buddhas, with their pure knowledge, could not reckon it to know their extent.
>我等住阿惟越致地 於是事中 亦所不達
We dwell in the stage of Avinivartaniya, of non-regression from Buddhahood, and in this matter we too are powerless.
>世尊 如是諸世界 無量無邊
Bhagavan, worlds such as these would be limitless and immeasurable.

>爾時佛告 大菩薩眾 諸善男子 今當分明 宣語汝等
At that time, the Bhagavan addressed the assembly of Great Bodhisattvas: Good sirs, I shall now make clear and explain for you—
>是諸世界 若著微塵 及不著者 盡以為塵 一塵一劫
If you took all these worlds, the ones a dust particle landed on, as well as the ones a particle did not land on, and completely ground them into dust, one of those particles would then equal one aeon.
>我成佛已來 復過於此 百千萬億 那由他 阿僧祇劫
Since I attained Buddhahood, I also have passed this number of hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of nayutas of asamkhyeyas of aeons.
>自從是來 我常在此 娑婆世界 說法教化 亦於餘處 百千萬億 那由他阿僧祇國 導利眾生
Since then, I have always been here in this Saha Realm, teaching and inspiring, as well as in other places, leading and benefiting beings in hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of nayutas of asemkhyeyas of worlds.

Good sirs, in this time I have taught of the Buddha Dipankara and others, and spoken also of their entering into nirvana, but this all is distinguished through skillful means;
>諸善男子 若有眾生 來至我所 我以佛眼 觀其信等 諸根利鈍 隨所應度 處處自說 名字不同 年紀大小
good sirs, wherever a being comes to me, I observe the sharpness or dullness of his faculties such as his faith and so on with my Buddha eyes, and in accordance with whoever I should save, I myself teach everywhere under different names and with ages old and young.

I make also statements about entering nirvana, and with various skillful means teach the sublime dharma, thereby causing beings to experience joy.
>諸善男子 如來見諸眾生 樂於小法 德薄垢重者 為是人說 我少出家 得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提
Good sirs, where the Tathagata sees that beings take pleasure in lesser vehicles, and that their virtue is scant and impurity thick, for these beings' sake He teaches that He left home at a young age, and then attained His perfect enlightenment.
>然我實成佛已來 久遠若斯 但以方便 教化眾生 令入佛道 作如是說
However, since I truly attained my Buddhahood, it has been as long as I have said, and it is only with skillful means, teaching these beings and causing them to enter the Buddha path, that I say such a thing.

>諸善男子 如來所演 經典皆為 度脫眾生
Good sirs, all sutras taught by the Tathagata are for the purpose of saving other beings.

Whether speaking of His own form or that of others, whether showing His own form or that of others, whether showing His own deeds or that of others, all words He speaks are true, and not false.
>所以者何 如來如實 知見三界之相 無有生死 若退若出 亦無在世、及滅度者 非實非虛 非如非異
This is because the Tathagata sees the form of the three worlds as it truly is, with no birth or death, no extinction or arising, no existence or passing away—neither true nor false, neither similar nor different.
>不如三界 見於三界 如斯之事 如來明見 無有錯謬
Seeing the three worlds as not the three worlds—in this way, the Tathagata sees clearly, and without delusion.
>以諸眾生 有種種性 種種欲 種種行 種種憶想 分別故 欲令生諸善根 以若干因緣 譬喻言辭 種種說法
Because He has distinguished that the many beings have their various natures, their various desires, their various activities, their various thoughts, He wishes to cause them to grow good roots using several connections, metaphors and turns of speech to teach in various ways.
>所作佛事 未曾暫廢 如是我 成佛已來 甚大久遠 壽命無量 阿僧祇劫 常住不滅
The actions of the Buddha have never ceased for even a moment; in this way, since becoming Buddha, it has been a great eternity, my lifespan an immeasurable number of asamkhyeyas of aeons as I abide here always, without extinction.

And yet while not really passing on into extinction, I yet make the proclamation that I will soon take my passing on.
>如來以是方便 教化眾生 所以者何 若佛久住於世 薄德之人 不種善根 貧窮下賤 貪著五欲 入於憶想 妄見網中
The Tathagata uses this skillful means to cultivate beings, for if the Buddha abided long in the world, people of scant merit would not plant good seeds, being lowly and impoverished and attached to the senses, entering in their thought into nets of delusion.
>若見如來 常在不滅 便起憍恣 而懷厭怠 不能生 難遭之想 恭敬之心
Should they see the Tathagata living forever, without extinction, they would grow arrogant and lazy, unable to see the difficulty in meeting Him, or to appreciate and worship Him.
>是故如來 以方便說 比丘當知 諸佛出世 難可值遇
For this reason, the Tathagata uses skillful means to teach, "Monks, know that the arising of the Buddha in the world is a rare thing to encounter!"
>所以者何 諸薄德人 過無量百 千萬億劫 或有見佛 或不見者
This is because those people of scant merit, in passing through immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of aeons, might meet the Buddha and might not.

I say for this reason that, "Monks, the arising of the Buddha in the world is a rare thing to see."

These beings, hearing these words, will surely understand the rarity of the encounter, and in their minds engender longing and appreciation for the Buddha, then planting good roots.
>是故如來 雖不實滅 而言滅度
Therefore does the Tathagata, though not truly passing away, say that he passes away into extinction.
