Good to see a new kind of cancer is developing (reemerging?) just in time for 1000.

Nice. I've been working on my Kanji, Vocab and grammar, but I've been told that I shouldn't be working on Vocab until I at least 500+ Kanji under my belt. Should I stop doing Core2k (What I use for Vocab) until I get more Kanji? Core2K is pretty fun to learn but if it'll be too much than I'll stop.
>>121637262
It really isn't autism at all. We have a set image which tells people exactly what is in the thread. Not only that, whoever made the thread once again fucked up the link AND fucked up the thread number.

>>121637889
>Core2K is pretty fun to learn
Keep using it till it stops being fun. Enjoying learning is best learning.
>>121638198
I'd like to continue, but the reason the guy told me I should wait is that it might be too overwhelming to do it all and I wouldn't be able to apply what I learn straight away, and so it would deduct from the experience of learning Kanji and grammar.
>>121636506
Last thread was #985.

>>121638454
>but the reason the guy told me I should wait is that it might be too overwhelming
The guy has no idea what overwhelming is for you. If you are enjoying yourself with it there is little reason to stop.
Why can't you continue with core2k while learning kanji and grammar? 両方だよ
>>121638454
If you have time do it, otherwise make some compromise this isn't rocket science.
>>121638616
Alright, I'll continue and if it does get overwhelming I'll just apologise to him for not listening soon enough and if so I'll find alternatives.

Don't go apologising to anons. Half the time they are mindlessly repeating things they've read and most of the rest of the time they are talking about things they haven't experienced.
Want some real advice? The people who really know their shit about Japanese are the ones too busy learning to tell other people how to learn. You don't owe shit to anyone.

>>121638959
>It isn't cancer and I didn't have the original OP image because nobody has been using for it a while.
Look at the fucking archive.
https://archive.moe/a/search/subject/djt/
>Chill out
Fuck you. You fucked up due to being lazy. Accept the criticism and get over your ego. This is where you apologize, suck it up, and make sure not to fuck up again.
The worst people are the ones who decide to take action while not being able to handle getting told off when they screw up because these are the people who are too egotistical to learn from it.
Do you know how someone like whelpくん manages this incredible amound of cards each day?
I need 3 hours for about 60 new cards+reviews of core 6k. Did he ever tell his way of studying the new cards? Or did he do rtk/kd first.
Im a kind of jealous type you know..
>>121639308
I am doing 40 new per day with core2k6k optimized and it takes me 1 hour if I go fast, 1 and a half otherwise. You should be able to do it in 2 hours I think.
I have done RTK though and it helps a lot.
I don't really know that much about Japan- would software developers there who know English be in special demand?
Is there something like Rikai-kun that will let me scan kanji that aren't text, and it will tell me what they are?
>>121639674

Or on-screen-recognition. Check the guide.

Thanks, OP. Do better next time.

なお、転落の際、周囲に人影はなく
I'm confused about the 人影はなく here, is it just saying there was no one around or is it a phrasing of some sort, but the thing is after this line theres another that has a testimony from someone, so does that mean 人影はなく just means there wasn't a lot of people around or does it implicitly mean there was NO ONE there?

>>121641037
Usually it's because they forget the subject field and nobody can Ctrl-f for the thread. That's actually a problem.

>>121641007
>しゃぶりて

>>121641187
The more fantasy the game the more fantasy terms you'll encounter, at best you'll get a lot of katakana exposure. If you want more general Japanese I'd recommend something more SoL-y.
>>121641187
No. Too little text/time ratio.
Has anyone tried Wanikani? I have an account I can use, but I'm not sure if it's just a paid Anki, in that case I guess using both would be a bit pointless.
>>121639940

>>121641318
>but I'm not sure if it's just a paid Anki
Yes, and also time restricted. Look up wanikani in the archive for past discussions.
>>121641094
Still, there's value in being strict about these things. OP sets the tone for the rest of the thread, and if people decide that they're special snowflakes and start using the OP as an outlet for their own attention needs then I don't doubt that before long we'll crumble into being no better than /vg/ generals. Which would be sad considering how long these threads have managed to keep some a semblance of composure
500 kanji in and it still feels like I literally learned nothing. This is no fun
>>121641037
when was the time that guy stopped posting kanji information? or about which # of djt
>>121641422
because kanji themselves are meaningless
>>121641422
I'm close to 2000 kanji and over 6000 words and I'm still pretty shit. Get used to it.
>>121639308
Look through the archives. whelpくん has gone into a fair amount of detail going into exactly how he reviews, what his plans are with it, the card format, exactly what is tested, the statistics for each day, etc. Excessively. You could probably go back through the archives the past two weeks and use all the data posted and make a scientific report about it.
>>121639308
I did that for a while - doing all my cards plus 30 new each day until it started ranking up 2 hours and i felt the burn. I haven't gone crazy with reps for about a week and have just been reading and getting better at vocab. I realized that i dont just forget everything just like that if ive truly learned it.

I don't recall. Maybe 2 years ago? Some time after that there was a period where a kind anon posted almost all threads, and on time, but unfortunately he didn't respond well when people complained that he'd been fucking up the OP a lot lately and stopped/left. That's when this last period of epic OPs began
>>121641417
>Which would be sad considering how long these threads have managed to keep some a semblance of composure
cute
>>121641590
There was also a while when we didn't have a thread up 24/7
>>121641422
I'm at 120 and I feel like I've learned an absolute ton of stuff so far. But that's because I already had a decent vocab from watching animu for over a decade.
Are you using RTK or something? Because I did that for a while last year and realised all the knowledge didn't mean shit because I couldn't read anything.
>>121641496
Reading is for adapting to meaning; reviewing is for planting seeds and watering.
>>121641539
>Anyone looking for djt searches for it.
Non sequitor. People who don't know about DJT do not know where to look. How do you think I found these threads? By noticing the OP image in the archive.
That's the point of the OP image: to attract attention and communicate relevant information as to the nature of the thread. This may be 4chan but we don't have to all act like children. A bit of rationality and management goes a long way.
>>121641603
You say that, but we've been blessed in that regard in comparison to a lot of other long-running threads. On top of that we've had no tripfags either.
>>121641500

>>121641665
People who don't know about DJT are directed here the second they ask "how do I learn Japanese" on pretty much any board.
The OP image isn't even a tenth as important as the links and subject.
>>121641677

That's actually pretty amazing.
Perhaps that says something about the type of person you need to be to become a tripfag.

Well, everyone makes mistakes, and people in this thread are particularly viscous, so unless you were kanken-1 above-native tier you'd probably have a hard time getting by in this thread
>>121641660
Well my vocab is decent as well but even with 500 kanji I can still only read the total babby stuff. Being able to read basic stuff is nice at first but it feels like progress almost came to a halt after that.
When I check japanese news sites etc and I can read almost nothing of it then it really feels like I've learned shit
>>121641888
Has anyone here passed kanken-1? Or at least attempted any level of kanken?I asked Moogy on his ask.fm once and he claimed he'd be able to take on kanken-1 vocabulary wise, though he can't write for shit.

The Misaki voice for NeoSpeech TTS isn't that bad. From what I've heard when she is on, which is about 90% of the time, it sounds native like. The program sometimes messes up pitch accent though, taking into account that 10% when it comes across like a machine.

>Core2k is pretty fun to learn
i think so too. i'm almost to 4kwords in core2k/6k (doing 50 new words daily), and 2-4 grammar study per day (used to be daily vjg videos. more recently, daily DOJG entries)
the grind is fun when you get the feeling of actually remembering words i had trouble with the week prior. the grind is rewarding when you browse yomiuri can actually read many full sentences without a dictionary. the more you work the more rewarding it is.
but i'm sure the rapid progress eventually slows down and there's probably a really long plateau phase (assuming that learning a language is like anything else).
>>121644871
Not exactly a surprise that you'd only ever have one day of being sick when you don't know what the outside world looks like
>>121644904
It has one form. Or well, two. It can mean 'and', onto which interpretations such as cause can applied depending on context, or it can be used adverbially

>腐ったりんごを食べて、病気になった (cause)
>>121644871

Does someone know why so many protagonists have their names written in katakana? ex: シンジ
Sometimes they even have an official kanji spelling but the katakana version is still used 99% of the time. ex: キリト
>>121645501
Easier to read
>>121645545
That can't be right. Especially when it comes to works aimed at older teens/adults, or anime where the protagonist's name is rarely if ever shown in written form.
If that's the reason why do I hardly ever see katakana names in eroge? The last thing I want to do while edging is struggling to decipher gook runes.
>>121645501
because evangelion?'s word is different from us
and キリトcan't be written in kanji

>>121646056
1) It's a real Japanese name, so of course there are a variety of standard kanji spellings.
2) There can also be a variety of nonstandard Japanese spellings. Psycho Pass's Kirito is 桐斗
3) Since it's a basically a play on SAO Kirito's real name, 桐ヶ谷 和人, it could be written as 桐(ヶ谷和)人. This is, not coincidentally, a standard spelling for the name Kirito.
4) Even if it was a foreign word it could be written phonetically in kanji as was usual in pre-modern Japanese, like the Chinese still do today.
5) And if all else fails, you can still string some meaningful kanji together and claim that you are supposed to read them "Kirito" for no reason, because Japanese is fun like that.

Have you ReadTFM?
I cant make heads or tails out of this guys.
Its something to do with not knowing some reason, and something about bringing them here.
Thanks
>>121649234
それは
あんな[訳のわからない]理由で via that [nonsensical] reason
連れてこられる able to be brought
たら
>>121649234
あんな訳の分からん理由で is a reason you can't understand (from わけがわからない)
連れて来られる is to be dragged along, it's the passive not the conditional as >>121649403 says.
たら is the conditional, meaning "if you were". The implication is that if you were dragged along for such an incomprehensible reason, you'd... (something that they've done). They're expressing understanding.

>>121649432
thank you very much.
As always
>>121648425
Can you read this?
>>121649565
Yes? Is there some reason you picked that?
>>121649565
I'm the guy you replied to. Yeah, I could read most of it but there were a few words I didn't know. I could guess most of them from context and I understood the story, but the ending was a bit abrupt?
>>121649829
Of the kindle screenshots I had on hand, it was a most wall-of-text-y. Which in retrospect is indeed a dumb reason.
>>121650014
>but the ending was a bit abrupt?
That's the point. It's a joke. Instead of going up level by level (standard horror story stuff) she goes to the elevator and he goes ツッコミ on her.
>>121650056
Oh. That went above my head.
I thought that the last sentence was supposed to be the moral of the story that you shouldn't be dishonest like the guy who didn't report the accident.
I understand now that it was the guy calling the little girl a cheater.
I've seen this わ a couple of times now but it's not totally clear to me. In this case at least するわ seems to function like して, or even just rattling off events like したり or even とか.
It's a bit difficult to Google, all the explanations talk about that other わ.
日本語での説明でも全然平気です。この『わ』って助詞はどんな意味ですか
>>121650177
Don't feel too bad. I had to look up 横着 to understand it. Beyond that, you have to be able to read it at a decent pace otherwise the creeping sense of dread kind of doesn't build properly and you don't get the surprise factor at the end.
>>121650495
Yeah, I had this problem some years ago. It's just listing a bunch of occurrences with exasperation.
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10102033400
You can look up the particle in yahoo dictionary or whatever and find it there too.

Is it fine if my studying goes from hiragana -> katakana -> basic particles and grammar -> Kanji or should I be doing something else before I dive into kanji. I'm almost done with 1st grade Kanji and I am not sure if I am doing this correctly.
>>121650495
check dojg brah
>>121650907
One thing that could be useful would be studying kanji by radicals instead of school grade. That means kanjidamage or heisig.
>>121651186
Given the amount of entries in DOJG, how would one practically study it? I feel that just reading through the 3 volumes wouldn't be enough to make most of it stick. Is it feasible to make flashcards out of it?
>>121651250
meant to quote >>121651235
>>121651302
You don't study it. It's a reference
Is this grammatically correct, if not, how do I fix it?
やっぱり、俺がやめてのほうがいい
>>121651413
No
Read more.
>>121651413
No, and unless you tell us what you're trying to say and why you think you should say it that way there's not much point in asking us. See >>121651440 as well.
>>121651340
But I want to learn its contents.

Is this true?
>>121651413
>>121651440
I'm trying to say
"It's better for me to quit"
>>121651473
Read and reference. Reading is a skill all its own and is generally more valuable than specific grammar points/vocabulary.
>>121651514
I don't know. Drama subs are almost always completely wrong, so I don't trust that English as far as I can throw it.
>>121651515
やっぱりやめたほうがいいかな, やめようかな, やめるべきか, etc. Read more and you'll encounter all these.
>>121651514
Everyone says this, but then judges others anyway.
A shining example of "you can't do it, but it's okay for me".
>>121651413
やめたほうがいい
>>121651514
>not translating it
Faggot.
>>121651302
Try reading through it using the order listed in the CoR on the 日本語文法辞典 sheet.
Here is the order:
http://pastebin.com/9tMS1Vde
I'm reading through them myself using this order, roughly. It is proving immensely helpful.
>>121651340
Referencing and reading it IS study. Stop mindlessly repeating things anons on DJT mindlessly repeat. Use your imagination a little.
>>121651235
I'm noting all the radicals in a kanji, though I'm barely at the point where it's useful because the kanji are so simple but I'm sure that's gonna change in a grade or two
What would "何発目" mean, in the context of sex? Is it short for something?
>>121651514
true
and boys too
>>121651622
>>121651686
Wait, so in what kind of phrases/cases would I need to use "のほうがいい"? Comparisons between two or more objects?
>>121651772
発 is a counter for bursts or ejaculations. You should be able to figure it out from there.
>>121651772
Probably asking the wrong people.
>>121651729
>Referencing and reading it IS study.
What the anon meant, doofus, is that you reference it when you need it, you shouldn't go page to page memorizing the contents and stuff.
Just a quick question, but why did you all decide to learn japanese? Personally I think I would have more common having a japanese gf than an american one.
>>121651801
のほうがいい isn't a set phrase so I'm not entirely sure why you're attached to that. 方がいい is a method of comparing things, and 方 is a noun. You use の to connect that with another noun, and you don't need anything for a verb. This is the same as all other Japanese clauses.
>>121651801
noun のほうがいい
>>121651805
>発 is a counter for bursts or ejaculations.
Eyup, thanks.
>>121651824
Is that a dig at people here being virgins or not knowing Japanese? Because I read enough Japanese porn to know what it means.
>>121651794
Men much less judge women by the looks than women do. It's true.
Does anyone has a cracked version of Human Japanese, either Pc or android? i found the trial very useful and i'll love to buy it, but i lack of any means of online purchase atm
>>121651861
>>121651872
Well, there's the sentence "電車と車とどっちのほうが速いですか" which I'm sure is grammatically correct.
I'm also pulling this out of a lesson book, if that helps
>>121652007
This might shock you, but どちら/どっち is a noun.
>>121651702
>Not being able to read that
オカマ野郎
>>121652029
びっくりした!
Sorry, things like this do go over my head. As for the reading, what should I be reading? I typically just run through lessons or read easy content like Japanese graded readers.
>>121651918
Why dont you just ask your mommy to buy it?
>>121651413
Well, you can do て+の, so in that sense it's grammatical. It might be non-sensical though.
>>121652066
And you can? How long have you been learning then?
>>121652089
My mom is dead.
>>121652083
You should read something you like. If you're completely clueless and just starting, there's nothing wrong with going through a guide like genki or tae kim to get acquainted with things. But try to find something you want to read and read it. It can be something you've read in English before if that helps you.
>>121652119
Not him but I couldn't read 判断 but it was pretty obvious what it was from the rest of the sentence
>これは高泡といって八日目ぐらいかな
This is around eight days past 高泡
right?
>>121652189
I started 4 months ago, and I couldn't read that.
>>121652314
No, it means 高泡 happens around the 8th day. You should also include context, I shouldn't have to google to find out that it's talking about brewing beer.
>>121652332
Then you could use jisho.org and look up kanji with radicals. Maybe you would even learn something from doing it
>>121652386
Sorry, was pretty sure I was correct. Thanks
>>121652418
Could you not be an asshole for one post? I know it's only you, I recognize your typing style. You've been doing this for weeks now, it's annoying.
>>121652598
No, fuck you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FPPreL71Ok
Is this singer even speaking Japanese? I can't understand shit
>>121652386
By the way, do you read that as "this is 高泡, so it's around eight days in"? I mean, do you read it as her drawing a conclusion?
>>121652783
No, it's more like two separate things. "this is 高泡, it occurs around 8 days in". She's explaining something.
I wanna try watching a movie without any jp subs. Is that 3D doraemon movie any good? I would watch that since it's for kids and probably easy as shit.
>>121652838
I was way off then. But isn't the masu-stem more fitting when you just list facts like that without any strong connection?
>>121653062
連用形 (ます stem) and て fill the same function in this regard, it's just more formal/bookish to use the 連用形.
>>121651839
>you shouldn't go page to page memorizing the contents and stuff.
Why the fuck not? It helped me immensely. Apply the same to Tae Kim's grammar guide, because it is the same thing only structured in a more user friendly manner. Did you read through all of that despite not reading those concepts and patterns in native text yet?
Get your head out of your ass. This "doofus" has done that and it has helped more than the guide every sperg on DJT tells people to read before reading native media. How much Japanese do you actually know? Fuck I can't stand you autismal pricks who cannot comprehend that there is more than One True Method of learning a fucking language.
>>121653159
Cool story bro
>>121653141
Thanks again then
how do you study grammar? do you just read DOJT over and over committing patterns to memory, then try to come up with your own examples?
>>121654112
Watch anime for 6+ years and get a native level understanding of grammar
>>121654351
I already did that and my conjugations are at 80% accuracy checking through a online conjuagator, but
there's things that they just dont cover in anime.
