Persistence is the key to success. You CAN learn Japanese!

We all work hard to understand the dynamic relationship we have with a parent.
You can't learn Japanese.

I need advice: I'm working, and this year I started to study for the Uni.
My Uni has a the chance to give me a scholarship for study 6 month in Japan, but in order to take it I need at least an N4 level. Right now, I am at N5, but I want to reach N3 for December instead of N4.
The problem is, I think I'm burning out: too much things to do, too little time. Does some of you study and work? How do you manage to study japanese too?
>>135573547
>>135573604
what the fuck is the third character?
a kanji?
>>135573619
Reaching N3 in a year isn't really that difficult.
You can always squeeze in 10-20 minutes of studying a day, do flashcards with example sentences.
Listen to cd-dramas or music when you're walking, brushing your teeth etc.

Yes, it's for faggot rich kids whose parents have too much money.
>>135573703
Depends which country you live in. The universities in my country routinely offered exchange programs to Chinese and Japanese universities, among other sister universities around the world.
On a completely different note, that secondary manga for the cor spreadsheet is really filling out fast.
>>135573731
>I could have been one of those

>>135573682
10/20 minutes a day are enought? Do you mean for grammar or for flashcards? I can do flashcard while I'm on bus, now that I think about it.

Why haragana and karagana means the same but have different symbols?
>>135573862
Why do hiragana and katakana sound the same but have different symbols?
Because they were made at the same time. Katakana was an answer to hiragana being extremely complicated before it was standardized in modern history.

America is a lot further away from Japan than my country is, and there is the whole nuking two Japanese cities thing. Sister universities tend to appear in sister cities. Here is a list for Burgers:
http://www.asiamattersforamerica.org/japan/data/sister-cities-prefecture
Maybe some of the higher funded universities with these sister city relations could have such exchange programs. Though, as an American you could always join the military and get shipped over to the of the thousands of military bases America has installed in Japan.

SOV is the metric of language, there is a reason latin was taught in schools for centuries.

I put some subtitles on this video.
For the part at 0:22, SIK from クッキー says 食べさせる, from the line 「私も食べさせる！」.
Now, I know literally that by itself, it means, "(I) Feed", but that doesn't really convey how that line works in the 音MAD.
For now I have "Eat this!," which I think carries the emphasis on volition, but does anyone have a better suggestion?
Yes, this is a stupid question.

Seriously you can't learn Japanese by doing anki. It's learning in a bubble and doesn't apply to actually reading or speaking at all. I don't get it.
What kind of autist brought up SOV like it matters at all?
>>135578125
It's good enough to build the fundament to get to the point where you're learning it for real when you actually start using it.

You can't learn a language if you're not prepared to devote the majority of your time to learning it.

Consume this *unzips dick*
>>135578125
I'm starting to think that the first thing a beginner should do is to read a grammar book. Then use Anki and read at the same time, while reading more grammar stuff.
Is there a difference between doing your daily Anki in one go and doing it bit by bit throughout the day?
>>135578506
You can't consume something that was never created.

Can we stop recommending advanced VNs for beginners yet?It's cute so far, I feel like such a piece of shit for taking an hour to read 5 minutes in though. I can already tell my over-reliance on text hooking is going to fuck me.
>>135580193
Visual NOVEL anon, muv-luv is just as hard to read as LOGH.But seriously that VN is easy as fuck to read.
>>135580193
m8 that screen is pretty easy to read. I didn't even have to look up any words.
>>135580193
It's not that advanced, every VN is going to have a couple lines that are harder than the rest when certain topics pop up. Even Flyable Heart has the sci-fi stuff. The closest you'll come to something with no hard lines is garbage like 人妻スイミング倶楽部. If you keep your head above water it gets a lot easier.
> I can already tell my over-reliance on text hooking is going to fuck me.
Pro advice: Just don't move on until you can re-read the line without using a texthooker. If you do that you'll force yourself to actually comprehend the word unstead of over-rely on the texthooker.
>>135573258
I'd love to see her being worn down and broken like dirty rag.
The distinction between "advanced" and "beginner" VNs is hard to make, because in the end it's all Japanese and not a whole lot of VNs actually deviate a lot from the norm. Usually, difficult comes down to the consistency of the vocabulary level as well as the variety and level of topics discussed (which in turn leads to more vocabulary. It's tempting to say "VNs with harder grammar" but really the only time grammar is a issue (in terms of being more advanced or more beginner) is when the topics are so alien even familiar grammar becomes difficult to understand (due to lack of context) because otherwise it'll still all just be normal Japanese you see everywhere.
It also seems to me that beginners can still benefit from reading advanced VNs. Since the problem mostly comes down to vocabulary, reading harder stuff essentially will serve as a funnel of vocabulary.
Man, why is learning new kanji so exciting? I get such a doki doki feeling in my chest whenever I come across a new one while reading.
>>135580193
There were a bunch of words that I didn't know, but I correctly guessed all of their readings, except for 衛星. I can feel my Japanese getting better all the time.
>>135580755

>彼らの予測によれば、包囲態勢下におかれた帝国軍は、多数の敵に対する防御本能に身をゆだね、戦線を縮小させて密集体形をとるはずだった
Every time I read a full line in LOGH without looking anything up I feel pretty intelligent.
>>135580913
I already know nearly 2400 hundred, I don't think it's going away. In fact I really only started feeling this way after I had already learned 2000 or so.

Try reading Aslan Senki.If you can read it without stopping to look things up you can pass N1
>>135581040
no he literally means 240000
quite the feat
>>135581139
>he
I was correcting myself, but are there even 240000 kanji in existence? I though even with obscure Chinese dictionaries the total was only around 80000.
>>135581002
I'm at 2,900 ish and I know what you mean, there's a certain novelty to seeing a new one.
However, I don't like actually learning them.People say learning kanji becomes automatic after 2,500 or whatever but I disagree. It's easy to learn something like 偲ぶ for obvious reasons but something like 渓 isn't really easy (or hard), it's just like learning the first kanji, tedious and time consuming.
>>135581121
I didn't say it was hard (though if you call LOGH easy you're obviously looking at it from a "learned" perspective rather than a "learner" perspective), just that I feel intelligent. Not only due to whatever difficulty it has, but also just due to the subject matter and the fact I'm reading it in a second language.
I have Arslan Senki, and didn't read past the first page which was quite an experience.
>>135581121
I picked a random page of Arslan Senki (because I remembered the Prologue of LOGH being way harder than the bulk of the text) and true to form, I don't think pic related is that much more difficult than LOGH. I mean, it's the same author after all. Why do you think it's harder than LOGH enough to point it out?
>>135581309
Shit man that looks nothing like my physical copy, maybe I have a different version.
>>135581364
That's page 204. The beginning (pic related) is a lot different.
Reminder to all newfags that it is impossible to learn a new language if you are 25 or older
>>135581460
Thanks for the tip broski
Is it a bad habit to read the sentence without problems but still look up a word with a texthooker just to be sure you got it right?

>>135578125
Of course you cannot learn Japanese by only doing Anki. Anki is there to build up your vocabulary so you don't have to look up words all the time, not to teach you grammar or provide you with reading practice.
I doubt that anyone believes that they can learn Japanese solely through Anki.

I'm pretty sick of it, too. We all know that it's impossible for someone over the age of 5 to learn a second language, and that the only way to consume Japanese media is through the blessed offerings from our fan translator gods. I can't imagine anyone being dissatisfied with something run through Google translate, or translated from Chinese or Korean, or random guesses. After all, it's a free product, you can't complain.
>>135573619
>The problem is, I think I'm burning out: too much things to do, too little time. Does some of you study and work? How do you manage to study japanese too?
No, as soon as I entered my major (physics) I had to quit my part time job. I even tried a getting another job over summer quarter and it was still too much for me. I commend people who can work and do Uni at the same time, but I cannot do that. So instead I'm just a broke-ass who studies all the time.

You often see people say you need to know about ~2000 kanji to be able to read things. But what does it really mean to know a kanji? The standalone reading and meaning? All the kunyomi? Every word it's a part of?
>>135583040
Being able to understand what the sentence means and read it properly if that kanji is in the sentence.
>>135583040
>But what does it really mean to know a kanji?
This is a question I've asked people every now and then and you get a range of answer. For some reason on DJT you also tend to get a lot of angry responses, but I guess that comes with the territory.
Personally, to 'know' a character, I should be able to recall and write it from memory, recognise it across multiple fonts and in handwriting, with the ability to comfortably correctly read the common words it is found in. You could also extend that final aspect to being able to recall the common ways it is pronounced, in isolation, and relate these different pronunciations to words they are commonly found in.
>>135583040
You actually don't need more than around 600+ vocab (around 10 words per kanji) to read simple LNs
>>135583040
. ~2000 Kanji is the exact number of the top ~2000 most used Kanji. These kanji are used in words and names that occur frequently. They do not include all the Kanji that you are likely to see. For that you would need around 3000 or 4000 to be safe. You do not need to know every reading and meaning as some of those can be obscure, just like you don't need to know every kanji to be able to comfortably read. Dictionaries exist.
My shitty ex girlfriend (Japanese) made me associate Japanese with bad things.
Super polite introductions to her parents who got mad at me anyway because I seemed impolite, and they thought I didn't care enough about her.
She got angry with me when she tried to tell me about her stupid high school girl drama in full speed casual Japanese after I had studied for just 6 months (She spoke English just fine, and never bothered to learn my native language... )
Messaged or spoke to me in Japanese when she got angry. And she got angry like every single day. Wanted more dick, wanted less dick, tired of me not talking with people in my class, tired of me talking too much with people in my class so I couldn't message her and so on. So during those months, I only really associated Japanese with lengthy and very difficult fights, anger and my daily struggles with Japanese.
So yeah, that was fun.
Also, I'm two years in and I still can't enjoy anything in Japanese. I mean, it's getting closer. Two years ago I understood nothing, and now I can read Yotsuba and understand simple videos and play simple games and google things and talk with Japanese people every day, but damn it still takes a long time. 6 months ago, it took me two hours to reply to a long message on LINE(20-30 lines of text in portrait mode), and I had to look up so many words. Now it takes maybe 15 minutes if I'm lucky and I know most of the words, but I've realised that I am only able to do this in context. If I begin talking with a new person or if somebody comes up to me on the street and talks to me, I almost literally die. That's pretty disheartening. Will I ever become fluent at Japanese? I still butcher my English from time to time, and I've been speaking that every day for the past 10 years. It just seems so far away, but at least I don't HATE Japanese anymore like I used to because of my ex.

To overcome your problems you must fix their root.
You must eat your ex-girlfriend's beating heart in order to move on.
Fuck NYR-fags, bloggers, and ledditors. What compelling content are you enjoying right now?
>>135583467
You must release all this anger one way or another.
Go find a Japanese girl and rape her. Yes, rape her and let every thrust of your dick release a week's worth of built up negative feelings.
It may sound a bit harsh, but ultimately, your well-being matters more than that of some random Japanese stranger.
>>135583576
>Quit taking it seriously.
I didn't.
Aside, what makes you feel free to other people how to respond to something?
>>135583618
That would taste pretty foul. Wouldn't it be easier to cut off her head, make a broth with it, and ladle it out to homeless people? That's what one of the Chinese noodle places nearby does, only they do it with stray pets and charge you a few bucks for it.

>You often see people say you need to know about ~2000 kanji to be able to read things
I hope nobody actually believes that, there's a big difference between being able to read something and being able to read something without ever encountering something new.

I have so much money saved up it's spilling out of my eyeballs.
I feel swallowing a "fuck it" pill and burning $150 on Rosetta Stone, is that a bad idea?
I realize this will earn me permanent stereotypical weeb status and get me laughed at by normies which will never fail to piss me off...but I reeeeally wanna watch my gook cartoons with max enjoyment and no subs. The thought just seems so...comfy. And you all seem to be enjoying yourselves immensely.
Amazon's open in another tab. Should I do it, /a/?
>>135582120
Is burning when you pee a bad sign? I get that when taking a piss right after masturbating.
>>135584153
Do it.
>>135584153
It's a terrible idea because Rosetta Stone is godawful.
>>135584153
If you have that much money then pay me to tutor you, I'm broke but can speak Japanese. Win win right?
>>135584153
That's a fantastic idea anon.
You should definitely go ahead and purchase Rosetta Stone!
>>135584153
You should do it, but remember to get a Wanikani subscription too so you can learn the moon runes once your done with Rosetta Stone.

How can you hope to learn Japanese without raping?
>>135584153
>I feel swallowing a "fuck it" pill and burning $150 on Rosetta Stone, is that a bad idea?
Its not a bad idea, but its not the best idea.
I know exactly one person personally who can watch anime with no sub, and is also entirely self taught.
What you should do is:
1. Follow the fucking guide and get a minimal understanding of the basics.
2. Do what my friend did and go through VNs with voices, repeating every line until the words are burned in your head.
This sounds like work, because it is. However, Rosetta stone will probably teach how no to die if you wind up in a Western Mountain Town (if you could understand their accent). Which is actually much more simple, in most cases, than your average 5 minutes in any anime. Not by much, but it is.
>>135584305
Ah, said by Elbert Instine I believe.
>>135584340
What? I thought everyone here only learn Japanese so they can understand the Japanese women we rape?
>>135584420
someone doesn't????????
>>135583814
What if she comes back to find me and rape me to get rid of her negative feelings?
>HAHAHA RAPE IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN RAPED
Fuck this thread, I'm done.
>>135584520
I feel like I watched an old japanese movie about this: Raping, I think was the title.
Seriously. I think it was made in the 70s or 80s.
>>135584540
What did you expect, internet is filled with retards.
>>135584540
BUT I'VE BEEN FART-RAPED

Stop it anon, you're raping me.

You're a man, you should be able to handle that and rape her again if she tries something funny.

4chan was far more enjoyable in 2005 then it is now.
>>135584920
I still have a lot of screencaps of posts back pre-2006. The shit posted back then wasn't any better.
>>135585121
Because you were 10 years old back then, and you have some kind of nostalgic connection to what seemed like fun at the time.

It's been downhill since the vans exploded. There was a time when people understood how to use the sage function, for starters.
