>Do you take any day off from studying japanese or you study everyday?

I study daily. I spend around an hour and a half on Anki (reviews and new cards + custom study session of today's forgotten cards at the end of the day), and probably about 20 minutes on writing kanji.
Going to start reading and mining soon though, so the above is subject to change. I'll still study every day though because one day off can quite easily turn into two days off, then three, four... a week... a month... etc.

1. Do you try hard to remember what a word means before pressing "again" or do you do so shortly after noticing that the meaning is not obvious?
2. When finding a unknown kanji in a word, do you stop to search what it means on jisho (or equivalent) before carrying on?

It's a deconstruction of "New" ニュー and prefix お

Would you keep doing anki reps if you got cancer? I think I would.
>>133565964
I think "know" is commonly used in both senses, that is including just recognition or including both recognition and production, and that trying to monopolize its meaning in some sort of war for semantic supremacy over one specific use of a word with an already ridiculously broad meaning is silly and unproductive. It's easier to simply make it clear whether you're talking about production, recognition or both.
>>133566366
Right now I'm doing anki reps exclusively for harder kanji and rare words; if I got a fast-acting terminal cancer (dead in less than 2 years) I'd drop it and just read moege / nukige while crying because I'll never read Muramasa at a good speed; if it'll take 2-4+ years then I'll actually double anki and speed the fuck up trying to get to Muramasa level in time.
>>133565979
Most of the arguments involving RTK are likely the same few people, considering it's the same argument every time. If you're interested in handwriting kanji from memory and understand how mnemonics work, then it's great at what it aims to do. If you're just using it because you have slight retention / recognition issues / mix similar kanji up because you don't know radicals and aren't paying close enough attention and don't actually care about ever handwriting, then it's likely a waste of time unless you have the worst vocab retention in the world.
My only issues are some of the keywords are a bit shit and some kanji are easy to confuse due to similar keywords. I'm combating this by adding cloze vocabulary to my cards (words with the kanji in question replaced by its reading in that particular word). I'm eventually going to remove the keywords from the front altogether.
>>133565964
Does "one" ever "really" "know" a "kanji" though?
>>133566366
I think I would do even more to distract myself or pass the time spent lying in hospitals, but all depending how bad the cancer and treatment affect me of course.

Also, what does つったって even mean?

>>133566787

>I'm inclined to believe that it's something along the lines of と言ったって
In the beginning of the sentence, what does that mean?
>Furthermore, I am inclined to believe that he is referring to positions assumed during sexual intercourse.
I was thinking so, but how is that a sensical response to what she said? Why is he talking about that all of a sudden?
>>133567506
>Also, what does つったって even mean?
Exactly what >>133567579 said, which is the same as と言っても in case you don't know.
As for the line as a whole, he's saying he can't do/doesn't know a lot of sexual positions, which is implied to be a potential problem if she wants to have sex for such a long time.
>>133567607
>XD

>>133567506
つったって here is used as a broken down version of -って言ったって which means "even if you say so" or "you say that, but".
The rest of the sentence; 体位 - Body Position, バリエーション - Variation
Combined, the full translation is:
You say that, but, I don't know too many sex positions.

The words I presented are meant to be read stand alone.
>>133568483
>重 has more than one onyomi
So? Both are used. If you're going to make a reading quiz shouldn't you keep it limited to words with unusual readings at the very least?

>>133568540
> Both are used. If you're going to make a reading quiz shouldn't you keep it limited to words with unusual readings at the very least?
They are words commonly misread by Japanese. It doesn't matter if some gaijin says that the kanji is just using a common onyomi.
Alright, I know Hiragana and Katakana. I also read the first couple of grammar lessons in tae kim. I know a few kanji like "today" or "I".

>example sentence: 大きのが欲しい (I want (your) dick (literally: the big thing))
I can see this working out, though finding pictures with appropriate sentences could take a while
>>133569014
Why? Because the kanji-nonkanji ratio is off?
>>133569294
Because when a drill-hair girl ends her sentence in わ (which is not shown in the English translation), you feel a pleasure like no other

I think about 8 or 9 months.
I "quit" (just did Core 2k/6k reviews and forgot a lot of the grammar by the time I came back and had to restart Tae Kim) for a bit over a month twice in that time, though. I most likely won't quit this time since I'm at the point where I'm slowly reading through moege.
>>133569465
The downside is that when you hear Okamas using "あたし" and "わ" you feel much more disgust than before you knew the connotations of those words
>>133569294
Congrats man.
Really.

>sounds like it's a valid reading now?
It's valid as much as anything else. Such is the nature of language.
But people who use たにんごと may be seen as stupid.

That's just because you're a fag.

this is read あかせる, right?

I will call it Japanese the Hentai Way. It will start with very formal sex scenes where everyone is wearing business suits.

理解様を使いたまえ
I'm learning kanji through vocab but should I also put time into remembering the individual meaning of each kanji or is it a waste of time?
e.g. 大型 - big + mould, model
feels like it would help a lot for picking up words but what do I know.
>>133569321
Been to DJT back when they weren't numbered. Didn't really post back then and didn't stick around for long.
Right now I've been reading these threads almost daily since early this year
Round 2:
Easy: 流石
Medium: 言質
Hard: 曲者
>>133569321
Almost two years now.
Gotten far more involved in this place than I thought I would.
are there any NES or Genesis games that are in beginner level Kanji?
>>133570353
I've seen my brother play one of the goemon games on his imported snes, it was pretty simple to follow and barely used kanji at all, not even words like 牛肉 were written in kanji
>>133570353
Those games usually don't use kanji because of technical limitations afaik

Around a week, mate. So far I've been learning 2 kanji a day and things are looking about as smooth as a young boy's arse.

You can remember anything with Anki.

I have no idea how I'd use Anki to efficiently memorize grammar

How did you go? These are a little tricky because they differ slightly to what you might think at first!
>>133569321
Been roughly 3 years, since I started learning.
What's the origin of the expression ~のセの字もない? I get what it means in general but I don't know what they mean by セの字.
How long did it take you guys to memorize all the kana?
Coming from Korean, I'm having a hard time, as each symbol always makes the same sound, so two connected symbols are easy, whereas for Japanese, it seems to not matter.
>>133571210
The syllable セ
>>133571120
>流石
I keep reading that as りゅうせき
>>133571234
Ah, I got it. I did only see it used with words like 責任感, 成功 and センス.
>>133571217
Like a week
>>133571217
About 2 days
>>133571217
A day for Hiragana, a decade for Katakana
>>133571217
Used Heisig's Remembering the Kana when I first started learning japanese. Even taking it easy it should take a few weeks or less by doing so.
Give it a week of study priorizing hiragana and then continue your studies. Kana is everywhere in japanese, so it'll become second nature after a while.
>>133571217
Get Remembering the Kana. Should take 3-4 days to do Hiragana and Katakana.
>>133571217
A month. I wasn't really planing on learning at the time though, I just kept learning a few kana a day for fun. If I had goals in mind a week would have probably been enough to do it at a leisurely pace.
>>133571217
What do you mean by that? Each kana only corresponds to one sound, doesn't it? Are you talking about kanji?
It takes a couple days at most to learn all the kana through rote memory, if you put some effort into it.
ゑ What is this hiragana?
>>133571642
Yes, but two symbols can be in the same Kana, and it makes a completely different sound. In Korean for example, ㄱ= k ㅣ= i 기= ki. whereas in Japanese, こ = ko, and に= ni, despite both having the symbol for ko in it, if that makes sense.
>Japanese version reads,
>早く追わないと藍華ちゃん！
>English translation reads,
>Aika-chan, we need to quickly catch up!
Why the balls is a negative verb used this way?
>>133571217
A few hours with realkana.

Just keep going until you can recognize a hundred of them without making a single mistake.
>>133571762
we
>>133571800
that's a really odd issues you're having
>>133571808
Because it's a shortened version of 追わないといけない which means "bad if we didn't follow" -> "need to follow"
>>133571642
He's comparing it to hangul, where each character ist made up from a set of parts.
So all "a-"-sounds have ㅏ in them, all "n"- sounds have ㄴ in them, so to get "na", you just put them together like this: 나
>Don't know how to Anki
>Can't Genki
>Tae Kim is scrub tier
>Can't afford incoded anime
>>133571808
Look at this sentence:
早く武器を見つけないと・・・
this translates to "If I don't find a weapon quickly... (something bad will happen)"
in your case it's the same, only calling out another person in agreement at the end

>The 「と」 conditional is also used by itself to imply 「だめ／いけない／ならない」.
>学校に行かないと。
>Gotta go to school.
>>133571873
I think it's because I'm looking at each individual symbol, and not the character as a whole. I'll get over it, just kinda throws me for a loop sometimes.
>>133571903
Retard.
>>133571966
Huh. I was thinking that use a て.
Thanks guys.
>>133571994
Fuck you motherfucker.

Today's your lucky day. I will teach you everything about Anki. What are your questions?
>>133571980
Have fun with kanji
>>133571903
>Don't know how to Anki
http://bitlasers.com/djt
>Can't Genki
What?
>Tae Kim is scrub tier
Tae Kim covers more than Genki. What about it is "scrub tier" exactly?
>Can't afford incoded anime
"Incoded" isn't a word. I don't even know what you're trying to say here.
こにちえわかおみにあさん！
>>133572135
>Tae Kim covers more than Genki
Ｎｏｐｅ．
>>133571980
Yeah, you're thinking of it like korean where every piece of the character says something about the sound. That doesn't happen in kana at all. Each character is its own thing.
>>133572212
Yeah, I know that's the problem I'm having. I'll get over it through brute memorization, I'm sure.
>>133572182
What does Genki cover that TK doesn't?
>>133572182
Genki only teaches classroom Japanese. It's primary purpose is to give students the information they need to answer questions in exams. Tae Kim has a broader scope because it's intended for self-study and not constrained by what is and isn't needed for students in a classroom environment.
For instance, you won't find any of this in Genki because students won't be tested on it:
