It's really easy to get over the fear of "never learning Japanese" if you realize you'll "never learn" your native language in the same sense. If you start paying close attention, you'll notice a fuckton of stuff in your own language that you simply do not understand. It's no surprise that every language will be like this. So don't worry.

Currently deciding which level of the JLPT to take next. Either 3 or 2. Gotta decide soon. My teacher told me its a huge jump from 3 to 2 test wise. Any truth to that.

Take a practice exam then. No difference between it and the test itself except time limits.

Plus, your fears are misguided. Your speed is determined by the amount of work you do. You should be much more afraid of being in a daily schedule that isn't beneficial. How much time do you spend reading native material (that's challenging)? If it's less than an hour, you're fucking up right now. If it's more, then as long as you keep that up you're good even without a JLPT goal.

>>138910689
In terms of language learning, keep up with anki and reading/listening to native material is literally all you need to do. There's not really any tips beyond that. For the N1 though, there's a good chunk of grammar that doesn't appear THAT often, so studying N1 specific textbooks (and practice exams) is a good idea if you want to ensure you pass.

Thinking about it, there's a couple tips about reading. First of all, if you're looking to work in Japan, you absolutely absolutely HAVE to practice reading news articles. Reading VNs and manga and young adult novels simply will not cut it when it comes to business Japanese. Second of all, it's easy to open up a book or webpage to read, then spend very little time reading it, getting sidetracked by say 4chan or even flipping through dictionaries. Always be vigilant and make sure you're actually staying focused and reading. I myself have wasted entire days of studying because I let myself be distracted and ended up barely reading anything. Creating a "reading" environment where it's hard to get distracted (closing all 4chan tabs, closing everything but the text + dictionary) is very helpful to me.

Was gonna type more but I see people being hostile so I figure you're gonna leave the thread soon so at least take this

Ok, so you've been studying for over 2 years and you can still benefit from wani kani. That indicates to me a fundamental flaw in however you've been learning. From my little sphere of language learning wisdom, I can see 3 absolutely essential rules to succeeding in language:
1) Always introduce new cards in Anki (minimum: 10)*
2) Always do all of your reviews*
3) Always spend at least an hour a day reading (or listening if you're advanced enough).
Have you been doing these things? 2 years is 730 days, and that would be 7300 words + jouyou kanji if you had been following the above rules. Wanikani only teaches 6,000 words. So, I can conclude you haven't been following the above rules. I think the logic in them is clear to see, so I really recommend you start following them if you want guaranteed success.

However, you mention wanting to go fast, not just have guaranteed success. That's a bit tricky. Language learning is fundamentally focused on exposure to the language, and acquiring enough exposure to be fluent takes a very fucking long time. So wanting to go fast is also a trap of being disappointing - even if you work your ass off for 16 hours today, the improvements in your language may not be that notable on a large scale, see what I'm getting at? In short, be prepared to take a long time to learn a language even going fast.

That out of the way, going fast isn't a complex thing. Like I said earlier, your speed is determined by the amount of work you do. So, if you want to go faster, do more work. Do more cards in anki (warning: beware of overload) and read more. That's it. Going through the Dictionary of Japanese Grammar (anki deck or actual book) will give you a huge boost in reading speed if you don't know the contents within it,

That's not actually true, not only because it's not 也 in this case, but simply because the archaic version of ある is あり and the なり with the similar meaning is just shortened from に あり. Similarly with たり and と あり. As such, they're all simply variants of あり ultimately.

Tae Kim, but I imagine studying grammar through the DOJG itself (not the deck) would be even more laborious.
>>
>>138912207
Please don't try Genki. It's weird that you're struggling with Tae Kim since it's supposed to be easy.
However, if you got bored with Tae Kim, Genki will bore you about a million times more. That book is just boring to death and is an example of what's wrong with traditional Japanese Textbooks.
>>
>>138912228
How about you give a real argument on why anyone who actually wants to learn Japanese should use Genki.
>>
>>138912257
It's not really that I'm struggling with it, I just can't seem to focus because it's boring as fuck and I always get distracted while reading it (and yes, I know it's not supposed to be fun, but as I said, the problem is the textbook format and not the content.)
>>
>>138912207
Oh, then you can just use the tk anki deck then

>>138912234
>but I imagine studying grammar through the DOJG itself (not the deck) would be even more laborious.

You're right with that I'm afraid. I'm telling you, studying a dictionary is a lot more boring if you think Tae Kim is boring.
After you finish Tae Kim though, a lot of DoJG would make sense and it'd be easier for you than doing DoJG first. The conjugation tables for Tae Kim are also far better than the ones @ DoJG.

>>138912324
Genki circumvents the typical problems of the format pretty well.

>>138912457
On the off chance you're actually serious about that shit working for you then congratulations. You're the only one I've met on DJT with that.

The rest of us are probably thinking though:
-Not using Kanji Immediately
-Using romaji
-Using inappropriate hiragana for jukugo
-boring excercises
-poorly structured way of teaching grammar
-immediately teaches you 'masu', 'desu' without even teaching Vmasu stems, etc.

Even as a dictionary, DoJG is a million times better than that shit.

Now I know the textbook tries to be polite by not scaring readers with those scary-looking Kanji but that's exactly what Tae Kim's talking about that's wrong with conventional textbooks.
>>
>>138912748
I see. So Genki does that shit throughout most of the book?
>>
>>138912789
Yes, it's a waste of time to be honest.
I wasted about two weeks on that book so I know it just won't work as efficiently as the methods of koohii or DJT.
>>
A while ago I started studying Japanese. I went through Genki 1, 2, and "3", and then moved on to practicing reading manga. I read Yotsuba&! and then checked the English translation. I was pretty happy to see that my understanding was pretty accurate. I tried some more advanced manga, but decided that Yotsuba&! was a better fit for the time being.

Later on, I met a friend who's also learning Japanese, but he's much more advanced than I. At a bar, I heard him talking with another person in Japanese, and I could understand most of the words, but I couldn't really follow the conversation. It was aggravating feeling that I was so close yet so far to actually conversing in Japanese.

I came to a bit of a revelation--almost all of my conversing was in English. For almost all of my conversations, actually communicating was valued over learning Japanese, so we would often default to English, which was easier to communicate in.

So one night with friends, I refused to speak English--buckling down and being adamant to speak only in Japanese. My friends, who had had good intentions by translating for me previously, were actually hurting my Japanese ability by making Japanese conversations too "easy" for me, and that prevented me from actually improving. It was rough at first, but after just a couple of days of refusing to speak in English, my spoken Japanese improved by leaps and bounds, and now I can understand most of the conversation when speaking with friends.

tl;dr: If you want to be good at conversing in Japanese, practice conversing in Japanese--using English as a crutch will stunt your growth!

>>138913205
No. But I think they're pretty inconsequential. My impression of Genki looking back is that it was in general deeper than Tae Kim in its explanations, and in its detail, and I'd say that's ultimately more important than teaching the masu-form later on.

2004年、歴史家のジョン・ソーンは、ピッツフィールドの新しい集会所から80ヤード (73 m) 以内で「野球」を行うことを禁じた1791年の法に関する言及を発見した。司書のアンマリー・ハリスがバークシャー・アセネウム図書館で実際の法令文書を見つけ、その年代はウィリアムズタウン芸術保存会館の研究者が検証した。現代の野球に正真正銘、実際に言及したことが認められれば、この1791年の文書はアメリカにおける最古の野球に関する言及ということになる。この文書はピッツバーグ図書館のウェブサイトで確認できる。

I'm slightly confused about the 2nd chart so I want confirmation to be sure I understood the nuance right as Tae Kim isn't exactly explained it (or maybe I'm just not seeing it).

Yes I know translating things into English is stupid but this is the only way for me to convey my understanding right now.

(1) = from 1st chart
(2) = from 2nd chart

(1) 学生なんだ
It's that he was a student.
(2) same
同じ

(1) 学生じゃないんだ
It's that he wasn't a student
(2) 学生なんじゃない
It's not that he was a student

(1) 学生だったんだ
It's that he was a student
(2) 学生なんだった
It was that he is a student

(1) 学生じゃなっかたんだ
It's that he wasn't a student
(2) 学生なんじゃなかった
It was that he's not student

I guess you are right. The kanji that was annoying me was 羹, from 洋羹, pic related, actually using the kanji. It is just hard to tell when some things actually are indeed kana-only and learning the kanji is unnecessary.

The internet literally. Read and post a lot, make English speaker friends. If you have hobbies you could even join some kind of forum about it and meet people that way. Long distance relationships with American girls did wonders to my English skills too.

Cut anything related to your native language also, things like anime subs, shows, movies, ... watch all of those with English subs (or in English if it's from over there).

Because now that you mention it I can fluently read hiragana and katakana but I wouldn't know how to write them down if you gave me a pencil and a piece of paper.

I just skipped that "50 times on your notebook, bitch" part.

For pure manga reading purposes, I think so. Supports opening either archive files or entire folders, has a "resume recent" option that lets you start from the exact page you closed it on even if it's an archive file (not limited to the very last thing you read either), decently customizable shortcuts, can change the page order, etc.
