The way he put it was very arbitrary, but I agree with him that at 20 new cards anything lower than 80% average could probably be improved.

Who cares about retention rate? If you see the card once then don't rememeber it the second time, that decreases your rate... so who the fuck cares? The ONLY thing that matters is that you remember them at the end of the day, and even that is arguable.
Retention rate is just something idiots fap to so they can pretend like they're better than they are.

>>134045233
Unless you miss new cards 3 times each most of the reps are older cards, and consistently getting 50% retention rates is not optimal at all.
But I guess we could just tell the person who is worried about his retention rate that any rate is OK and he should keep doing everything the way he does now.

I think 'goal' would be a better translation, but yes according to Japanese sites 狙い does translate to 'aim' as in the 'aim' of doing something.
So yeah I guess you're correct. I think 'goal' or 'target' would work to but I can't be sure because I don't kow the context.

Anything less than 100% can be improved, I don't think it's meaningful or helpful to divide lines at 70%, 80%, or 90% and make up nonsense about when which is okay. After thinking about it, that kind of division is probably based on one's own experience - "I got 80% while doing my deck so anything lower than that is pretty bad". I don't really see how pushing one own experience on others is a good thing.
>>134046460
I was just trying to offer my own opinion since none of you faggots wanted to help him and attacked me instead
>>134046510
His question was
>How much % correct rate I'm supposed to have with 20 new cards a day and averaging 200~250 reps per day?
The answer to that is not to make meaningless lines of division at random percentages, the answer is that is no "proper" percentage level. Just that higher is better so supplement anki with reading, writing, etc etc and let everything take care of itself.
>>134046574
You're a faggot.
Also that's not even answering the question.
>>134046630
"The answer is that is no "proper" percentage level" is the answer as I said. He's not supposed to have any percentage in particular.
>>134046655
The real answer is "You should set your own personal standards on how much you are willing to get wrong and forget and how much you want to retain. You can refer to other people's standards as a way to gauge how hardcore you want to be."
Can some kind anon tell me what this means?

I really don't understand how Steve gets by without using flashcards or Anki. Imagine how much time he must waste having to look up the same words over and over before he eventually learns them.
>>134048149
>in order to learn Korean, you not only have to learn most of the sounds in Japanese but also additional sounds, many whose difference I can’t even tell.
Isn't he Korean though?
>>134048228
Look up lingq and how it works, it should become very obvious how he learns them quickly, though the past must have been pretty hard.
That said he does use flashcards sometimes, like when he was memorizing the hanzi (only for first 1,000 though).
>>134048149
Any Japanese person or intermediate learner wouldn't have an issue with that. Read it out and not a single Japanese would misunderstand. Kim is a Russian born gook, not exactly the best person for advice either way.
>>134048228
>Imagine how much time he must waste having to look up the same words over and over before he eventually learns them.
That's literally what you do in Anki as well
>>134048294
Oh look, it's the "Japanese can't have any faults!!!!" guy again.
>>134048309
The time spent hitting "enter" on anki to show the back is far less than the time it would take him to open a physical dictionary (pre-internet) or look up a word online (pre-linq). So for most of Steve's life, anki is much much faster than manually looking up words
>>134048309
No it's not. Testing yourself is fundamentally different to looking up the answers every time.
You "literally" could not have misrepresented Anki and more than that.

He's right though, I watch GCCX and whenever those old NES games are pure kana, Kanchou doesn't break a goddamn sweat and speed reads them no problem. Think of it this was. If you can understand spoken speak, why would kana be that difficult?
>>134048390
One might also argue that precisely because it's so easy, you are training your brain to expect being able to find the definition of a word at a moments notice, and therefore it doesn't place a huge priority on committing that memory. But if you had to look up words in a book every time, the brain would remember the struggle and thus store the vocab much more easily to avoid going through that again.
>>134048412
When reading something with words you are testing yourself as well. No one just instantly looks up words, they take a moment to try and see if they understand it. Just like flashcards.

You realise you're talking about an actor in a scripted show, right?
>If you can understand spoken speak, why would kana be that difficult?
Visual recognition and aural recognition are two different things. With speech you have intonation and other audible clues which help you discern where one word ends and the next begins.
>>134048576
Ok.
>>134048606
Putting aside that the filming is live-action, if you watch some Japanese 実況プレイ's of old NES games you'll see them not struggled at all.
>With speech you have intonation and other audible clues which help you discern where one word ends and the next begins.
Spaces. Tae Kim used spaces and said they didn't help.

Thanks anon
Should I do core 2k first or can I start with core 10k?
>>134049309
Core10k contains Core2k
The point of spaced repetition is to make it possible to rote memorize extremely large amounts of information without stuff you're better at taking up time that would be better spent on the little shit.
The format of a SRS-friendly flashcard -- little enough information to be easy to memorize accurately -- is very good for SRS, but increases the amount of exposure you need before you learn the thing.
Encountering new words three times in the same paragraph makes me memorize that single word forever. I only need to see it like one more time in a week, then one more time in a year, and I know it forever.
Thing is, getting new words while reading is a lot slower than flashcards, and reading fluidly is pretty much impossible if you have fewer than 2000 or so words, even if you have a texthooker or rikai.
There's reasons that the most common advice here is to memorize the first several words but start reading as soon as possible.
>>134049309
Do the one with 6k words. I can say from personal experience that the words in there are very useful to know.
>>134049329
Thanks for answering. I'll go with core 10k.

I'm already finished with N5-N3 vocab. N2 doesn't seem useful to me. I was wondering what should I study next.
>>134049509
>N2 doesn't seem useful to me
Well it's time to wake up because just about every word from n5 through n1 is absolutely essential.
Read a book, anon, read news articles. You need to learn the words in those. And you will find that the words in books and articles match up with the JLPT vocab list fairly closely.

do you guys try to pimp your learning experience with substances? I read some stuff about the amphetamine meme here.
I will drink some alcohol(whine) this evening while studying. Didn't drink anything for years. Will I screw up my reps, senpai?
>>134050420
I actually got kind of drunk off wine yesterday and did my reps. Didnt notice it effecting me negatively, actually feel like it helped a little.
>>134050420
I've done my reps while high and while drunk.
I found that weed did not influence my ability to recall words very much, nor did it affect my short term memory a whole lot.
Alcohol made concentrating a whole lot more difficult, and negatively affected my short term memory when learning new cards.

>>134050587
But is learning kanji without any context really that meaningful? I mean in the end you are just learning symbols with some onyomi, right?
>>134050587
All the time you've spent on Swedish is time I've spent on Japanese, so to speak, I would rather have more progress in Japanese than the benefits of learning a second language first (I don't mind learning vocab and kanji, I already know for sure I can learn the language because I've read books in it, etc etc).
>>134050747
>But is learning kanji without any context really that meaningful?
Yeah, it help you a lot with remembering vocab and gives you the same sort of context a native speaker would have after going through sch-

Already drank half a bottle of wine. I'm not getting drunk or anything, I'm rather getting alot less stressed about the reps and everything. I think I will do some additional reading today.
>>134050638
Well I only wanted to know what you guys already tried, I didn't want to dive full into amphetamines today or anything.
>>134050899
Well it's not like I wanted to say that your progress is meaningless or something. I just wanted to know if you find it meaningful or not. I only learn japanese at the moment, and just learning the kanji without the reading on the side wouldn't get me to a solid understanding of the language. I wouldn't be able to even learn the kanji without any practice use.
>>134051001
Yes, right when they come to pick you up to leave for Japan, they give it back.
>>134051009
>those of us who are actually fluent in Japanese
>useful
I see two things which are not true.
>>134051009
European languages are pretty useful too.
Afrikan languages are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that are utterly useless. Also literal dead languages, but even Latin has the argument of "l-learn the root words!" so it's at least a little helpful.
>>134051043
I find it meaningful. Being able to attach words to kanji makes recognizing them a lot easier. Trying to remember kanji I haven't studied is like trying to remember 20 random lines, it's hard to remember words with 2 or 3 kanji I don't know. This is for me at least, I know some people swear that it doesn't matter to them. But for me, I don't consider it a waste of effort at all to learn Kanji.
The only problem I would have with learning "two languages", as a strategy or not, is the knowledge that Vocab Hell exists in EVERY language and it's fucking' awful. Like... I'm already thinking "yup, gonna be crunching Japanese vocab for a couple more years", there's no way I'd subject myself to that in ANOTHER language, at the same time no less.
>>134051045
Cool, I'll send my stuff as soon as I can. Can't wait to go study Japanese with children in Japan

>>134051060
If you don't think Japanese is useful why are you on /a/?
>>134051191
Vocab hell lasts years. I don't expect you'll spend several years grinding kanji?
>>134051184
There won't be a Norwegian vocab hell because there's no compelling content in Norwegian. Ha.
>>134051150
Well in germany, you need to learn two languages to go into university. So I kinda know the problem. It's not that hard, just don't think about it and stick with it. That sounds cheesy, doesn't it?
>>134051238
I imagine conversational fluency is OK for that. To be conversationally fluent you would only need like 6,000 words. I knew a guy who lived in Japan and talked in Japanese to his Japanese friends, and I showed him my anki mining deck and he knew none of the words, so yeah, if you stick to a low level in the language you can avoid vocab hell.
>>134051232
>Years
I don't think so.
Learning the language to fluency, yeah that takes years. But Vocab "Hell"? Maybe a year at most if you're slow, but realistically probably half a year. After that it shouldn't be hell anymore, it should just be enjoyable. I don't get this "years of grinding" meme, it's not like that at all. Look at Steve as an example, he doesn't have years of vocab Hell. It's a myth that it lasts nearly that long.
>mfw I haven't studied in two months because of intense paranoia
>>134051344
what do you fear, bruce?
>>134051216
Japanese is just as useful as German or some other European language, which according to you is useless.
I'm here because I enjoy anime and manga.
>>134051319
>But Vocab "Hell"? Maybe a year at most if you're slow, but realistically probably half a year. After
Uh, what? Do you think you'll know enough words to read any book and watch any show you want, after only 6-12 months...? I mean, it took me 8 months to read moege pretty easily while ignoring a certain number of words, but if I opened a newspaper or Muramasa or a sci-fi novel or watched a show about cooking I'd be blown away.
>>134051400
If I were to spend those 6 months watching short 5 minute anime and easier manga then yeah, I think I could. If I spent 6 months grinding anki then fuck no.
>>134051400
Food is the worst.
>>134051400
Well but that isn't hell isn't it? That just means that you will read more stuff, with an ascending difficulty. Just think about all the good stuff that you will enjoy. Just save murasama on your harddrive and play it in 2 years or something.
>>134051426
I disagree. Like... I just plain disagree. If you were to say you could read it while ignoring a significant chunk of words, i.e. follow along but not understand a lot, then I could see where you're coming from, but I just plain don't believe you can learn all the words you need to for Japanese in only 6-12 months.
And I'm not talking just conversational fluency vocab, I mean "native-level", I mean being able to competently read and understand Japanese at a college level, not at a foreigner-not-knowing-50%-of-the-words level.
>>134051511
Vocab Hell is just a phrase, I think someone recommended it be changed to "purgatory", either way it refers to the period of time when your Japanese ability is held back by vocab long after you've mostly conquered grammar and kanji.
>>134051541
What I'm saying is that practicing reading for 6 months and doing anki for 6 months are two completely different things. Practicing anki is going to make you better at flash cards, practicing reading is going to make you better at reading. If I were to start reading Yotsuba today I could probably finish it within half a month. Then I could do something slightly more challenging, maybe Ika Musume? Then something more challenging... by 6 months I could read a manga I enjoy. Actually, I've already read a manga I enjoy at the very beginning and have been the entire time, but for the sake of argument I'd bet that in 6 months I could read... I don't know... TWGOK? Shokugeki? Anything in Shonen Jump probably, minus the more adult things.
>>134051597
Ah, that makes sense. Well, I would just stick to a texthooker and put everything into anki and learn kanji separately. But I'm not even that advanded, so what do I even know? Thanks for clearing it up for me.
>>134051647
Nothing you've said has lead me to believe that you would escape vocab purgatory/hell in less than 12 months. Please read >>134051597 for an extended definition. I don't know why you've got such a hateboner for anki off the start, it's a good tool to supplement reading, especially for rarer but still important kanji.
Reading Shounen manga but not being able to read more adult things is pretty much directly in line with vocab hell.
首を振っているよ、正直に。
>>134051752
Well first off, I'm not saying I would be past what you call Vocab Hell. Secondly, I don't hate anki at all.
What I am saying is that I could read what interests me -- e.h. Shonen Jump -- in 6 months of starting Japanese. My methods would include primarily reading as practice, not anki. Do you understand? By reading, I am practicing READING and Japanese, not Flash cards and Japanese. 6 months is loner than you think. Steve becomes gets 5k words in a month, and you're saying I can't read what interests me in 6? I could read Jump and watch OPM in 6 months.
>>134051793

You claimed I wouldn't be able to read anything I want in 6 months, I'm claiming that's false. I'm sorry it took you 8 months to read a moege but some people are more competent than that.
>>134051877
Steve's word count is for vocab families.
食べる
食べるな
食べない
食べれない
食べれる
食べたい
食べたくない
This would count as 7 different words for steve.
You talk a lot about how you read but that's not something surprising or unique. It's just a fact that no matter how much you read, you will still be spending a very long time, years, accumulating vocabulary. Hence, vocab hell.
>>134052006
Hey, no need to be a bitch. You're just being anal about the phrase "you want". I was referring to all media in general, and being able to pick anything out of that and read it fluently. It's not MY problem that all you want to read is stuff aimed literally at elementary and middle schoolers.

I know, his actual word count is 15k. I divided it to a third for you, so don't bitch about it.
>Years acquiring vocab
You don't even understand, you STILL do that with ENGLISH. Why the fuck does anyone besides you care about this "Hell" you talk about? Why is learning words "Hell"? Do you mean that you know basically nothing in any text and you always have to learn hundreds of words to be able to read each thing? Then you're doing it wrong, sorry to burst your bubble.
>>134052064
You can't even read all the media in general in English. You have a piss-poor attitude about what makes you know a language or not.
In 6 months from starting Japanese I will be able to read a wide variety of texts. Vocab Hell is a myth people made up who are either shit at learning a language or are reading shit they hate for no reason.

>>134052193
I've already gone through the vocab hell of English, and can now read books and wikipedia page with negligible dictionary look ups. No clue why you're trying to pretend that one's vocab level in one's native language would be anything close to one's vocab level in Japanese after your theoretical six months.
>In 6 months from starting Japanese I will be able to read a wide variety of texts.
Congratulations, and in 6 months you will be still learning a lot of vocabulary due to the large amounts of it unless you stick to your shounen manga.
Why are you being such a bitch about this? Ay carumba. At least I have the peace of mind that in six months you'll either be knee deep in hard vocabulary weeping, or you'll be pathetically sticking to shounen manga and comforting yourself about your failure.
Is there a way to force Anki ahead one day? The hours past midnight setting fucked up on me, and now it's saying I've completed my reps for today, even though I haven't. I don't want to fuck it up more, though. Just go forward a single day so that I can do my reps today.I don't care about my statistics, if that matters.
>>134052524
I think changing your computer time will do the trick.
>>134052646
Okay, thanks. When should I change it back to the actual time? Just whenever I've finished my reps?
>>134052330

Anki is pretty important even in the beginning, right after you finish Kana and right after you read enough Tae Kim to understand how kanji are used; the only question is whether you want to do RTK or Vocab in anki.

Don't do what I did.

It's an exception to the case
Even though they are intransitive they are still used with を with them
yeah it's kinda shit but just learn it and move on

>>134056690
that's sort of okayish if you're just reading, but if you're composing, or writing japanese it kind of goes a long way knowing how to use a verb if you know transitive/intransitive rules
how many hours do you spendwriting?
>>134056558
I think I'm the one who posted it a few threads ago, found it in the feedback page. Just go there whenever you can't find a link, that's where people post things that should be in the guide,.
>>134056825
I do not engage in such waste of time.
Talk me out of skipping my reps today
>>134056765
Not really. When you produce naturally you will not be thinking about whether a verb is transitive or not. I think if you're at the stage of needing to check if a verb is transitive or intransitive then you really shouldn't be writing or composing yet.
>>134056765
Even if you're reading you need to have some notion of it
And you'll trip on 点く 点ける type of verbs when reading if you don't know this shit too
unless you memorize by-case scenario which is okay I guess? Idk to each their own
>>134056867
If you do your reps, you'll learn Japanese.
If you don't do your reps, you won't learn Japanese. Pick one.
>>134056747
1/2 of the cards are cloze delete, which to me are complete nonsense. You can bulk delete those though. I forget what's wrong with the other 1/2 but I remember needing to tweak them a bit.
>>134056867
You will regret it tomorrow, may as well do it.
>>134056873
With 0 notion of grammar, unless you spend years and years memorizing how each sentence is produced/composed/or made, you need to have at least some notion of how these things work
Like, yeah you can compose with 0 notion, but it will all be based on your experiences, and you'll never be able to tell if they're correct or not
You'll be composing with jackshit notion if what you're doing is correct, and you'll trip a lot.
>>134056958
> and you'll never be able to tell if they're correct or not
If a native wrote it then you can be safe in assuming it's close enough to being correct that it's ok. Furthermore, you'll be exposed to so much "correct" content that all the tiny mistakes will be overwritten as time passes. That's how every native learns their language after all.
What level did you start interacting with nips online?
>>134057009
Except that most adult people who have been exposed to English throughout their entire lives can't seem to speak it correctly.
です
>>134057045
Depends on how much they're exposed to it and in what way they interact with it. You have people on /a/ with 1000~ hours watching anime but of course can't speak it worth shit. Likewise a Chinese dude living in NYC who spends most of his day in a kitchen barely really interacting with English will obviously not be good at it. If you spend a lot of time reading books and really interacting with the language, getting good is an inevitability.
>>134057009
>If a native wrote it then you can be safe in assuming it's close enough to being correct that it's ok
let's assume for a second that you're 100% correct and natives know their grammar completely (which is not true, they sometimes make mistakes even differentiating は and が, which they call each other "disabled kids" for doing such)
the problem is that if you browse a jap imageboard for anything more than a week you'll know that not all of them are japanese
some of them are koreans, or chinese who shitpost the japs a lot
they call each other zainichi or chon or whatever
But this discussion is pretty pointless.
If you don't want to learn absolutely ANY grammar, just do as you wish. I agree with you that starting with grammar is not a good idea, but if you want to become fluent with 0 notion of grammar, you can only go so far in not sounding like a 13 years old. Seriously.

Fellow handwritingfags, do you always give a little bit of thought to what you're going to write, or you just simply write the first thing that comes to mind?
>>134057145
>>134057165
If it's a mistake a native makes then it really doesn't matter if you make the "mistake" either. There is no perfection in language. Today's grammar mistake is tomorrow's grammar standard.
And, I'm mainly referring to reading actual books(/manga/anime/etc), not shitposts on 2ch, I imagine the former have more vetted language.
>>134057270
It's cool dude, just find your path to japanese
if you don't think something will be helpful to you then don't do it
if you realize later on that you made a mistake, then fix it
it's that simple

T-thanks, you too.

Not him, but why are cloze cards bad? If I'll be wasting my time with them, then I'll delete them.

I would use に instead of として there
>>134057356
That would be incorrect.
>>134057343
I don't think they're bad I just don't work well with them at all. Maybe you'll find them helpful.
>>134057356

Because it doesn't make sense.

>i will use this small book as kanji and grammar practice

He wants to say the former, and you want to say the latter.
Both makes sense, you just want to say something different
