Persistence is the key to success. You CAN learn Japanese!
Remember, Wanikani is the key to success!
>>134786824
I would never remember the current existing DOJG deck to anyone, because as it stands the format will hurt and turn away a lot more people than it helps (due to exposure + recall layouts, but no actual recognition layouts), so I consider a hack-job for proper recognition to be superior to the existing well-made deck.
Reminder that you can't learn Japanese.
>>134787283
I'm feeling pretty good, this game's opening started with a poem of sorts by 日夏 耿之介 I believe, it was really fucking hard and I didn't understand any of it, but the main game's text is a lot more readonable and I can really understand what's going on, so my confidence has received a boost, since I considered these games (rail-soft in general) to be the final boss of Japanese. Yet here I am, reading them and understanding, albeit poorly. As you can see in pic related, at the very least, it's currently not too excessively hard.
This fills me with hope. Impossible strength...
;_;
The "poem" for those wondering, I know it's only hard because I suck but it's nevertheless harder than the rest of the game I've read (not much yet, just 30 some minutes).
Are you a bad enough dude to read pic related?

You are the same guy from the other threads, clearly. Sorry but your "fixed" deck is worse than the current deck, which works perfectly on both desktop and ankidroid. There is always the one or two loud anons who insist their way is right, despite your problems only being brought up by yourself ans that is about it.
What is with your persistence when plenty of beginners already use it without these game breaking problems?
The deck already has proper recognition and cloze/recall cards. You don't understand the deck.
>>134787719
Wow, you misquoted so hard you hit the wrong thread

Remember! No matter how awkward and ugly you are, as long as your white, you can get a Japanese gf! Just learn Japanese and move to Japan and there will be a gf all for you!
>>134787739
I did not give any indication that I was a separate person, nor did I pretend to be.
I do think my way is "right", obviously, otherwise I wouldn't believe it. I recognize that you and others disagree, which is why I changed the format myself and am not trying to get the main team(?) to change the main deck. This is a personal problem, so I personally solved it. Where do you take issue with this?

Thanks for sharing your experience. The image you linked me to certainly seems a lot easier than the standard narration that rail-soft features.
Apparently I'm going to need to study hiroshima-ben exclusively for one of the Senshinkan characters. And I've only really mounted the beginning of the world of chuu2ge with stuff like Fortissimo.
Stuff like this just depresses me at the moment. It'll definitely be possible ... eventually?
>>134787700
Cool, I'll put it on my list and make note of it. Thanks.
>>134787848
I'll have to bump these up the list too. Didn't know they had voiced protags.
>>134787871
As far as I can tell, once you "know" all Japanese, learning an accent is as simple as memorizing a bunch of minor differences, it isn't that hard I think. Hiroshima ben even has an ENGLISH guide written by a decades experienced speaker, so even better.
>>134787957

I haven't done my reviews in so long ;__;
I'm too scared to look at my Wanikani review queue
>>134788147
Sounds like a good time to cancel your Wanikani subscription and start using anki.
Which is better: Memrise or WaniKani?
>>134788242
Honestly, wanikani, memrise is shit. Wanikani at least provides some exclusive content but there is no reason to use memrise when anki exists.
>>134788192
But I really have learned a lot with Wanikani. More than anki for sure. The whole radical, kanji, vocab progression works pretty well for me.
>>134788283
You can do that progression in anki.
>>134788283
If you want radicals, download the kanjidamage or RTK anki decks.
Not only does Wanikana charge you for things you can get for free, it artificially limits your progress (bad by itself; you should be in control of how fast you progress) so that it can squeeze more money out of you (even worse). Stop giving them money.
>>134788343
* Wanikani
The only form of Wanikani that is acceptable is using an illegally ripped Anki deck of Wanikani.
>>134788397
I did this myself, don't regret.
>>134788242
I tried using Memrise once. It wanted me to type in the answer and there was no way to turn it off. What a waste of time.
Luckily there is an Anki addon that will download a Memrise course and turn it into an Anki deck. The deck was still shit though, because there aren't any good German decks. Japanese learners are spoiled.
Do it in Japanese.

So in some anime and manga I've noticed that men sometimes say ぜ and ぞ instead of ね and よ, at least that's what I assume they're doing. How common is this actually? Is this more of a fictional thing or do men actually talk like that in Japan a lot?

>>134787739
>What is with your persistence when plenty of beginners already use it without these game breaking problems?
Pretty much everyone who used the old DOJG deck changed the format by copying a fixed one off a pastebin.
Beginner reporting, I started studying kanji a week ago with the 2k-6k core deck and grammar with Tae Kim. I'm also building my deck comprising reverse cards for both recognition and production. Do you have any advice for me, such as something else to do or pointing out if I'm doing something wrong?
>>134788912
Yes, most men in Japan talk like that. ね and よ are rather feminine. You should work on including ぜ and ぞ Iin your speech patterns if you want to avoid getting laughed at when you visit Japan.

I'm reading someone's translation of 賭ケグルイ at the moment and comparing it to the japanese copy I just bought. In the physical manga the character says "ボンボンの馬鹿娘がッ。。。ナメやがって。。。" This translator has changed that to "That bitch... she's looking down on me" Can someone help me understand?

Just finished Mayuri's route. It was really good, probably 2nd best after Yui's. I felt like I was only halfway through the route when it ended though for some reason. Maybe that incomplete feeling is why they made the Mayuri-only game to continue her route. I may be biased but I think Mayuri's route should be saved for last for more impact.
Now I have 2 weeks to finish Suzuno. I'm excited to find out what is actually going on.

I've been studying N1 vocab for 4 months now and just realized that N1 was not the most basic vocabulary, on the contrary, it is the hardest vocabulary.
God dammit Japan, don't you understand the leveling system? You start at level 1 and go up in levels, not the reverse.
I have a few jap friends on steam and such, I would like asking them for help when I don't understand something but it's always from shitty visual novels or hentai and that would be embarrassing, also asking it on /int/ would dishonor my flag so I always have to come back to djt.

hello, maki shitposter
I've read a lot of doujinshi and manga, a few VNs, and completed a couple of games in japanese but now it feels like I've kind of hit a wall and I'm not learning new vocab at all. I've been trying to keep Anki time to a minimum and as such have only used it for RTK so far, but now it feels like i have to start a mining deck if I want to keep improving.
Any tips on how to start mining? Any way to import definitions and example sentences automatically? Any nice formatting template?

Good taste friend, I agree with everything you said. I'm hype for the spin-off game, I hear it's really good.
Mayuri's route spoilers:I can't believe you guessed about shou's dad so accurately, was it really that clear from Sakurako's route? Did knowing that change how you felt about Mayuri's personality change? It took me completely by surprise, I thought she actually felt that way.
>>134790031
Japan numba one!

>>134790479
If you only read mangas or VNs that talk about the same kind of characters in the same kind of story, of course you won't lean any new vocabulary. You have manga about cooking, sports, even alpinism... why not searching for other kinds of contents?

>>134790950
The issue isn't finding new words, the issue is the new words I come across aren't used regularly enough for me to pick them up naturally just by reading

>>134790062
The jap general on /int/ is actually very friendly about helping people get help with the language.
Just don't call them jap even if you're just shortening it. They don't like it. Also it gets very political heavy
>>134791212
>Just don't call them jap even if you're just shortening it. They don't like it.
There is hardly anything offensive with jap
>>134791208
Ah, I see. Maybe also writing them can help? It needs even more concentration and maybe that's what you'd need a little more. I know I don't even read all the words in a sentence when I have an idea of what that means. I'm in such a need to read what follows that I don't really concentrate on each word, only on the mental image of what is happening

>>134791335
Actually I did start writing down words in a neat list while playing a game a couple weeks ago, and somehow managed to retain every word I wrote down. Maybe I should just keep doing that, I can't really be assed to make a nice Anki deck
>>134791405
There's a couple of hours each day when there's almost only Japanese posters there. Like 4AM to 10AM GMT.
>>134791510
Well if it works for you, maybe you should effectively keep on doing that. Plus you'll get better at writing faster than if you didn't. As someone who has always much more focused on reading and speaking and who is regretting that now, I can only encourage you.
>>134790062
When you get to that point, it means that your level is high enough for you to search yourself for your own answers.
>>134787170
The DoJG deck has been updated and now all key and example sentences are marked with their initial letter. Thanks to another anon pointing out the excess styling I've removed the redundant rule lines and tightened the gap between the rear sentences and concept note image.
The last 50 or so cards worth of example had to be completely rearranged to match the volume so when importing there may be issues. I don't know. Maybe not.
The biggest part is left, converting note image to text. Were there any other overlooked things before looking at the next step?

Whats wrong with just being fluent?
>>134792472
Oh yeah?
Japanese expert James Richter is said to have studied the language for over 30 years since 25. He still can only converse with natives in broken Japanese with a lot of hesitation. This is due to Japanese being a high context culture, which means outsiders need a lot of direct communication over several years with natives even after "learning" the language in order to converse comfortably, the fact there are over 5000 kanji in Japanese that one has to know how to write and read, and the unfamiliarity of Japanese for non-Chinese speakers. In fact, on the Gravitch scale of language learning difficulty for a native English speaker, French and Spanish are set to 1.2, Chinese to 6, and Japanese to 9.5.
The best option is to give up and spend your time on less vain activities.

>>134787510
I'm sure most native speakers would have trouble reading this if there was no furigana so don't be discouraged if you can't understand it.
>>134792410
You can still sound like an educated foreigner, though. Some of the most articulate, most charismatic English speakers that I've ever met have been obvious ESLs from the orient and the middle east.
Expand your vocabulary like a motherfucker, wrap your head around Japanese grammar, be vain about your pronunciation and get rid of the most extreme parts of your English accent that might make you hard to listen to, and learn natural sentence structure and word choice. If you work hard, you'll get good enough that your intelligence and personality will convey themselves fully. Learning Japanese as an adult isn't a sentence to forever sound like the Japanese equivalent of "Yuu want pok fraid rais and pok damprin'g? Our pok dumprin'g r reary gud." Actually, the fact that you're reading and listening a lot (right?) is probably doing a very good job at prepping your mind to get past that stage very quickly should you ever start engaging in lots of output.
>>134789567
Okay, I can't take it anymore. I don't understand. This burning question of mine has been sparkly lingering for months now, and is consuming me:
Why are all your images named "imouto.jpg"? Are they simply automatically renamed, like in some dollchan forks or do you have the obsession of saving all those Ichigo Mashimaro images in individual folders, one by one?

It already helps to know I'm not the only one with that problem, so thanks.
>>134793312
Anon, I don't have an accent because my language has more sounds than Japanese and we don't rape the sounds like you burgers do.
>>134793414
Thanks for the non-sequitur?
>>134793380
Or maybe you name the image imouto.jpg, post it and then discard it, erasing it only to replace it by a new, fresh imouto.jpg, which, too, is destined to be left befind? The age of the throwaway imouto image, where they don't even have their own name anymore - The ultimate disrespect to your image files.
That reminds me: Who actually read the Anki FAQ or Vermeer's Anki Essentials?
>>134793468
It's not a non-sequitur. He's claiming that he won't sound like a foreigner at all.
He is likely very delusional, though. Foreign adult learners pretty much always have at least a slight accent, and that's with languages that are close, like an Italian who speaks English as a second language.
Is memerise a good app to learn Japanese?
>>134793934
Short answer: no. Long answer: there are much better options available, including anki and hell, even wanikani if you'restupid andwilling to pay the dosh.
If you're doing anki and you see a word like "生かす" and you go "oh yeah that means to make the best use of", and then you click show to find that the back of the card says "to let live / keep alive", if you were aware that it meant that too but that's not the meaning you thought of at the time, do you do the card again or just say good?
What do the little numbers over the answer buttons in Anki mean? I assumed that "2.0 mo" would mean I'll see the card again after two months but I'm seeing the same cards much more often than that.
>>134794018
Do it again, cause the first meaning is usually written 活かす anyway.
>>134792456
Threadly reminder that that's just a myth.
The brain is plastic basically throughout all your life. Even old fucks that are said to be "too old to learn new habits" CAN LEARN, they just don't want to, even although they could want.
You, too, can learn. Persistence is the key to success.

When I tap and hold on the word it just highlights the hold clause and I have to manually bring it down to the word I want to look up.

Holy shit, thanks so much.
I know I'm a bit late but; what the fuck?
>>134795386
ESL?
>>134795577
Yes. I expected much more though, at least 20k, seeing as people in the last thread were disappointed if they got under 25,000.
I know the test is approximated rubbish but damn..
>>134795623
You know I always thought I had a huge fucking vocabulary since I never stopped reading since I was a kid but it turns out I was just guessing at the meanings of many of the words I came across. Learning Japanese has influenced me such that I look up words when reading now. Pretty strange huh?

I know you're baiting, but I actually did this in a roundabout way. I fell into a habit of reading 1 entry from DOBJG every morning. Before I knew it, I'd finished the whole book.
I wasn't a beginner though -- I'd already been reading quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it as a way to learn grammar, but it will definitely fill in some blanks and teach you some nuances you didn't know you didn't know. Particularly stuff you already mostly understand and so would never look up (such as に, or が).
>>134795120
Nice to hear, anon. Now make sure to never stop consuming new content and you'll eventually make it.
>70% products in this world are in English

Everything is going to be daijoubu.
I'm a relatively advanced intermediate learner (could probably pass N1 without preparing for it if I tried), but I've never read many VNs so I figured I might as well broaden my horizons a bit.
So, what's the best VN?
>>134790031
You are fucking dumb if it took you 4 months to realize that.
>>134792410
Don't aim to sound like a native, aim to be multilingual.

私あなたのことが大好きです!
what's こと
I'm sure you can form this sentence without it
Jisho says its "things" or something
>>134796323
>I'm sure you can form this sentence without it
How sure are you?
>>134796323
You should at least go through TK dude
>>134796344
now I have doubts
can you form this sentence without it?
>>134796221
Euphoria.
It really puts your skills to the test.
>>134796372
You can. I was just checking.
>>134796384
I said best, not hardest. I don't mind if you recommend me Hanahira if you think that's the best VN.
>>134796323
>what's こと
Probably shouldn't be trying to rewrite peoples' Japanese if you're asking this
>>134796308
Yeah, I watched Yuru Yuri too.
>>134796431
いやーでもさ、難しくないないなら面倒じゃね？
>>134796323
The japanese like going in rounds without getting to the main topic.
>>134796533
Are you drunk?
>>134795386
>>134795623
It's because you only consume lowbrow media that's primarily aimed at teenagers.
>>134796323
こと is the generic word used for abstract things (もの is for concrete things). This particular use of こと is a very peculiar use of the word which even natives have a hard time explaining. It's said that it's there to make the sentence more indirect hence more elegant/polite/Japanese.
>>134796722
You're explaining shit that he can look up in 5 seconds, i.e. encouraging lazy behaviour.

There's some pretty standard English literature.
You're completely hopeless if there are more than ten words in it that you don't know.
How the fuck am I supposed to know when to use one and not another?
Do you guys watch anime?
>>134797392
You learn it kanji by kanji. There are hatless variants too, like the one in 良い.
>>134795386
Oh, I know that test.
Did you scroll all the way to the right on the first page? There's a whole column of answers that's entirely offscreen.
>>134797454
No one who's advanced past a basic understanding of Japanese would ever be seen watching anime.

That's just your spazzy browser.

Are you kidding dude? Is that high literature to you?
>>134797558
Ah, thank you. I was wondering if it was ok to continue watching or not.

Read Tae Kim
>>134797581
It's average level stuff, mate. Anime is baby tier.
>>134797085
That was a fun read. I need to pick up one of his books sometime.
>>134797638
Whatever you say, dip poop.
>>134797656
K, nerd.
>>134797564
Sure.
But omitting an entire column is a good reason not to get a score like this.
Also, reminder that if you're not looking up the words you're checking to make sure they mean what you think they mean (long-click, 'define' on any decent phone), it's only measuring how many words you *think* you know.
>>134797638
Because anime is english right
>>134797768
I didn't have any missing columns.
>Also, reminder that if you're not looking up the words you're checking to make sure they mean what you think they mean (long-click, 'define' on any decent phone), it's only measuring how many words you *think* you know.
That's a given.

Well here's ten words in order that I didn't know from this piece. Don't mind the time it took me to read, I got interrupted by a phone call
Prosaic
Woven
Dryad
Abode
Declivity
Sylvan
Throng
Brier
Monomania
Vigil
I honestly doubt most natives know them.
>>134797901
in reading order*
Won't help my case if I forget to write words
>>134797901
I'm native and I didn't know a bunch of words but they were all horror/occult related.
I know everything from your list except monomania which sort of(?) belongs to the aforementioned category.
>>134797901
Anyone who has managed to graduate from middle school will know most of those.
>>134797901
>Prosaic
Ordinary
>Woven
Produced by interleaving threads, i.e. cloth
>Dryad
A woodland spirit; a tree-person
>Abode
Where something lives
>Declivity
Inclination not to do something
>Sylvan
Pertaining to the woods/forests
>Throng
Large crowd of people; bustle of activity
>Brier
Patch of particularly spiky undergrowth
>Monomania
Cult of personality
>Vigil
Standing watch over something, particularly for religious reasons
No google, bro
>>134798083
You got two of them wrong
>>134798083
>Declivity
>Monomania
8/10's not bad. These two were guesses from separating the words into their components.
If you were to watch anime every day for a year could you get sex with girl?

You try reading science fiction in my language, then we'll talk.
>>134798301
Not the guy you're replying to, but what am I considered if I learned English as a first language at home while also acquiring German at the same time outside of the home I grew up in?
Obviously while living in a German speaking country.
