Yeah but it's pretty weird to see it in translations and examples sentences. There must be some sort of context to it but I'm frankly at a loss because I've never encountered it before.

That's for lightweight pussies. I did core10k in one day. It's the fastest way to fluency and you only have to suffer for one day, no idea why nobody doesn't do it desu senpai

You clearly didn't try both of them.
Half kanji bullshit like 一生けん命 is objectively harder than just putting in in kanji. But actually I meant because it had a couple weird terms like 活動写真館 and 交響曲

>tfw closing in on 2 year mark
I pretty much fucked around all November reading moege/nukige without a texthooker (i.e. not looking up words and being a lazy shit). That leaves only 4.5 months before I hit the dreaded 2 year mark and will be held accountable for my progress - "wow anon, you've been studying for two years? Surely you're fluent by now". In my head I've given myself 4 years to be fluent which leaves the 2 year mark as a *halfway* mark but peer pressure is making me feel like I should be a lot better. Anyone here who 's studied for 2 years? How good were you? Did you get affected by peer pressure?
>>134086400
You're never gonna be completely fluent unless you move to Japan, so eventually you just gotta stop giving a shit. Just make your goal to be able to read whatever you want by the end of your third year. You'll still be looking up words and all, but as long as you aren't letting difficulty get in the way of reading what you want to read, you've made it. Improvement will just come with time.
Oh, and practice listening. I recommend listening to a couple NHK news podcasts each day. They are only 10-20 minutes each.
>>134086400
Wow anon, you've been studying for 1 year 7.5 months? Surely you're fluent by now.
>>134086400
What peer pressure? Nobody gives a damn whether you succeed or not. This is something between you and yourself friend, stop trying to shove the blame onto others.

I can already do that. I picked up my physical copy of Hyperion and by the time I was on the third page I was shocked to discover I wasn't blown the fuck out or anything and could keep reading fluidly.
Those podcasts are a good idea, thanks.
>>134086540
;_;
>>134086542
I'm not blaming anyone though? The peer pressure is real, dawg. I was watching Man in the High Castle with a friend and every time someone spoke Japanese they prodded me to translate it and tell them what they said. It's only a matter of time before a distressed Japanese lady needs help in a wal-mart and I'm unable to understand her slurred teary speech.
>>134086580
Friends and family. See above; additionally, my parents do know and are impressed, yet none have learned a second language themselves so they imagine 2 years to be plenty of time to become fluent

No problem. There's also そこあに of course. If you watch a decent amount of anime each season then you'll probably get a decent amount from the 青田買い and other seasonal ones, although they do a lot of specials on specific shows that aren't worth listening to if you haven't watched the show

>>134088226

>>134088171

>>134088433
You serious?
>>134088460
yea
>>134088517

>>134088534
thanks
>>134088534
Not the guy who asked, but thanks. I couldn't parse ではなくなろう, I kept thinking ではなかろう.
>>134088534

>Feel 100% confident that the reading is "もくじょう"

>>134088673

I know ではない exists but I focused on なくなる because I imagined he was rikaing it and seeing "to die"
>>134088726
場 is a real cunt, I've noticed it using Kun readings for Jukugo a few times
>>134088114
I think I understand why it's so different. In the English version, "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman" is quoting what was said by the person being written to. The rest of the paragraph goes on to explain basically that if you want to have sex, you should get a wife and only do it with her.
The Japanese version, on the other hand, just answers the person being written to directly, without first quoting what was said. In other words, it's saying "If you don't get married, then it's good [for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman]". If you read the rest of the Japanese version of that paragraph, you'll see that it's still saying the same thing as the English version, just in a slightly different way.
>>134088887
That makes a lot of sense, thanks.

No, it means it's a road that is on it's way to not being a road, i.e. it's in disrepair.

Big problem, to me, is that the kana spelling is so obnoxiously placed, 車道 車道[しゃどう], I would recommend something like pic related that's real fast and real clear. Furthermore you have a lot of empty space on the front (i.e. line breaks in the middle of nowhere) that would be best removed.
Also, white text on black is just my personal preference, you can do whichever you want
>>134089367
Nah. If you want to answer quickly (after you see the card for the Nth time), you just read the word and don't bother with the sentence anymore.
>>134089310
Yes, but when applied to inanimate objects/events it has a different usage.

>>134090115
You could make the font bigger for the vocab word itself. So it pops.
I am learning japanese for about half a year now and I have to say it really starts bothering me when I understand something but I read it being translated completely differently.
Do other people experience this too? I am still not good enough to play untranslated VNs but when the sentences are not complicated I can sometimes understand them and it really is annoying how they blatantly mistranslate stuff only to make it read better in english. Or when they translate the same sentence differently at different times in the game. Ugh.

>What are collocations?
Based on the sentence in that screenshot it seems like the person is a beginner and it's probably a good idea for beginners to drill sentences instead of words. Languages have their own ways of arranging ideas and getting exposed to the correct way often and drilling it will only help one get used to that way of thinking. If a beginner is just learning single words, then they might be tempted to still think in their native language when trying to arrange an idea. This is no bueno, yo. バカお兄ちゃん
>>134090400
>it really is annoying how they blatantly mistranslate stuff only to make it read better in english.
Translator here: try translating a large bulk of work yourself. It will become abundantly clear how superior liberal translations are. Don't get annoyed, this is really just something over your head.
>>134090467
Then do a sentence deck instead of plain vocab. I'm going off the idea of recalling vocab.
>>134090544

>>134090544
This, I used to be like >>134090400 too, but after a while I realized that the best course of action when translating Japanese is to grasp just the important information, the tone and the intention of the characters and construct a sentence in English that conveys all you have to convey without adding in too much new information. The more you try to stay formally close to how the character expressed the line the more your translation will sound awkward. The languages are just too different.
>>134092371
Why the hell are you here then?
Just getting started. Memorized my kana, easy enough. What do I do now to dive in and maximize my speed + efficiency of learning?
Do Tae Kim? Genki? Or Anki?
I'm particularly stuck on whether I should grind grammar or grind vocab. I feel like if I grinded grammar, it would more quickly help me learn through passively watching anime as my mind would recognize structures and fill in vocab/word gaps.
>>134092362
Thank you! I love it when I say something stupid and then someone explains why it was wrong; I will remember forever.
>>134092641
Do both.
>>134092641
You need to learn grammar, vocab, and kanji all at the same time. Grind some vocab and study (not grind) some grammar every day.
>>134092641
You do anki and tae kim's at the same time. Genki in place of tae kim if you prefer that.
>>134092641
Both -- Tae Kim inside of Anki... and read stuff that you have translations for and you'll start to notice the patterns that you read about. Then you go back and read Tae Kim (or whatever grammar book again) to verify what you've learned and then you start to work on more complex things as you keep reading.
I really liked the JapanesePod101 nihongo dojo lessons for this purpose. I would just cut out the dialogues they had and read the transcript over and over.

How do you guys proceed with Tae Kim? It seems feasible to read the entire guide within a day with reasonable comprehension as a baseline (of course, with intent to re-read in the future and study in close detail). Does this sound sensible?
>>134093291
>It seems feasible to read the entire guide within a day with reasonable comprehension
>>134093291
Refer back to it whenever you encounter the grammar in c. material.
>>134093291
I have been slowly reading through it over time and making sure I retain everything from one section before moving on to the next.
You're not going to get much out of reading the whole thing in one day, since he covers a lot of specific material in a short amount of time, but it could work if you read it like that every day for a month or so I guess.
>>134093291
>It seems feasible to read the entire guide within a day
Well, shit.
>>134093291
Sounds inefficient. Go through 1-3 lessons a day and try to comprehend more so you don't have to refer back as a much. You're going to be on the vocab grind for a bit anyway so might as well spread the grammar out instead of trying to cram it all at once.

To me it does. Read through it quickly like you are reading a novel, not a text book. Obviously you won't remember everything, but you will get a good overview. Then when you see specific things while reading you can go back and look at the details again.
Trying to learn everything perfectly before moving on is a huge waste of time.

No matter how slowly you read that shit you won't remember it the first time anyway
So yeah
Know which topic are covered so you can quickly refer to them when encountering grammar
use rikaichan to identify unknown conjugations
>>134093811
This is horrible advice.
A beginner needs to hammer down all the basic grammar, which takes a while.
>Want to play an old favorite to ease the boredom
>Let's mix it up a little and do it in nip

It's merciless walls of runes like this that make me doubt myself and all the time I've spent studying. Seems as if the unknown words don't have an end.
Can anyone identify this kanji?

>If a beginner is just learning single words, then they might be tempted to still think in their native language when trying to arrange an idea.
Thinking in their native tongue is something that beginners do when their grasp on the grammar is so poor and/or when their vocabulary is so tiny that thinking in Japanese is impossible. You'll naturally begin to trend towards comprehending in Japanese as you improve at reading and listening, which you'll need to do a lot of in order to get good, anyways. I wouldn't worry about it unless you've gone through several VNs and still find yourself thinking "Okay, so this part means..."
Core is for quickly building up your raw word count faster than you would by other means. Anything that lowers the number of cards that you can do every day while still completing reviews is bad.
Anybody here use wanikani? How is it?
>>134095399
Worse than anki; limited; costs money
>>134095399
Tried when I first though about learning Japanese. Don't bother, it's just anki dressed up with a cost and it artificially slows you down.
>>134095399
Anything that you like is fine as long as you continue.
>>134095545
This is a bit misleading. Yes if you keep going you will be good. However, wanikani is *objectively* worse than anki in every single way. So, that's the answer to his question. No need to be wishy washy about it
>>134093291
I'm making notes as I go through JTMW to add to Anki. Otherwise it would all be water off a duck's back.

>ショコラのアバラをしゃぶり隊

>>134095399
I use it, it's (as everyone else has said) a considerably slower and paid Anki. Nice if you prefer to have structure because you're an ADD riddled babby.
I'm considering switching back to Anki and reading more despite not nearly being at a good level of knowledge.
>>134095752
>なで = until
Make sure you change that to まで
Good call on the notes, I wrote down a lot of similar stuff to that while doing Genki, Tae Kim, and DoJG when I was starting out.
>fourth day in a row with new cards turned off
>still fucking up every card
>on track to have half of the core2k cards I've seen leeched
Halp
>>134095643
You're right, however, using a method that one prefers raises motivation, even if it's not the most effective way of studying. Motivation helps to continue in the long run.
>eat my own cum two days ago
>still have the taste in my mouth
any tips?
>2日前ゼーメンを食べた
>惜しくなかった
>>134095921
In the long run, wanikani ends and then you're left stranded.
>>134095946
And then you switch to anki.
>>134093291
>It seems feasible to read the entire guide within a day with reasonable comprehension
>>134095920
Start writing, do RTK or something, that should help, I think.
>>134095985
That's my point. You should have started from anki in the beginning if you're going to end up there anyway. Not even in the long run is wani kani good.
>>134095926
Keep eating your cum until you learn to like it
>>134096069
And you could have spent the money on physical manga or LNs instead, and had something nice on your shelf and support the authors you like.
>>134095643
No anon, don't you know that being supportive means telling someone that anything that they do will get them the results that they want, even if that's bullshit? Any kind of discouragement or scrutiny of their plan, no matter how rational, founded in knowledge and experience, and done in good will towards the advised party, is bad!
>>134095921
If they're asking, what they want is results.
Wanikani is just a shittier version of anki that costs money. The only reasons to encourage people to use it over anki are ignorance and being subscribed to this terrible mentality that the correct answer always lies in being "supportive" (note the quotes), as I described above.
>>134094009
It's just magical technobabble. "Pseudo-spatial multi-layer barrier based on curse strengthening theory" or whatever. Not really supposed to make sense. Don't get intimidated by the whole and just break it down into parts and you'll be fine.

T-Thanks Anons.
sorry for asking this retarded question but I can't ' access tae kim's guide at the moment
could you remind me what させます in a verb/sentence means? doing something you're not supposed to?
>>134097759
>為せる させる (v1,vt,uk) to make (someone) do; to allow (someone) to; (P)
>>134097759
させる is the causative
食べさせる - to make someone eat
走らせる - to make someone run
can also mean let in some contexts
>>134097844
fuck
thanks and sorry
What compelling content are you engaging in right now?
Tae Kim said that
>After 4 or 5 years of studying Japanese, I’m at a near-native or 帰国子女 level.
I wonder if he went especially fast of if I should hold myself to the same standard.
