>speedrun japanese>learn 5000 words in 3 months>can make sense of vns and twitter posts>still find one or two words i don't understand so i have to mine all the timeit's so fucking frustrating
>>220253297what did you use to learn 5000 words?
>>220253659Anki and ChatGPT for reverse translation and consolidation.
should have done 10000 words
>>220254152>should have done 10000 wordsI'm getting there 50 words a day and 100 on weekends, however i will have to rethink of my schedule
i learned 9000 last year, gonna go up to probably 11-12k or so this year then idk it'll be slow after that. don't really feel like finding words for the sake of finding words頑張れ
so japanese is more about the words than the grammar?
>>220257350So can you read everything or not? As I said I can comfortably read posts about daily life but I often still find a few new words I need to get the full picture. I never skip a single word, whether it's grammar, a structure or a technical word. I make sure to absorb everything and it's paying off, but the intermediate plateau is grating.
>>220257442>the grammar?Japanese grammar is really straightforward compared to Italian or Spanish. The most difficult parts are neither the kanji nor the different readings, it's katakana/hiragana expressions because they have no kanji hook you can use to memorize them.
After 2 years I learned 1000 wordsI can't make sense of almost anything I read in manga or online
>>220257531>After 2 years I learned 1000 wordsthe only way to learn japanese it by locking yourself in your room and brute forcing eroge, i reached a point where i can learn 100 words within 3 hours because i already know most of the kanji and lots of readings so the words will just slide into my mind.
>>220257594I don't know every kanji though
>>220257711me neither, i know more than 1800 but i still find a couple of new ones every day. you just have to keep on grinding.
>>220257462>So can you read everything or not?No. But I can read a lot, you probably know this chart but I probably have to do about half the number of lookups if you have 5000 cards and I have almost 10k, 94% known vs 97% known, aka 6 vs 3 for every 100 words. I don't even read much besides subtitles I just watch youtube and anime and listen to podcastsJust don't burn yourself out on anki lol i kinda did and fell off for a bit but I'm back in it now
>>220257842>aka 6 vs 3 for every 100 words.So I will still have to mine words either way.>Just don't burn yourself out on anki lol i kinda did and fell off for a bit but I'm back in it nowI only use Anki to slap the words I need to revise on a text file, then I feed them to AI and use reverse translation to cement them. However I still bleed out words, retention isn't something you can control after all.
>>220257922>So I will still have to mine words either way.Yes. I'm selective about what I mine, right now I'm adding 2-6 cards a day to my 2000 unseen card backlog, I'll catch up to it in 3 months and then anki will be very chill. I'm not trying to speedrun japanese or anything
>>220258049I guess after a certain threshold, probably 8000 or so - I will just stick with 30 words a day. I just need to reach a level where I don't have to look up words every time.
