I'm starting with kanji on kanjidamage (I know some people don't like it, whatever).
I'm getting super confused at times with the Onyomi and Kunyomi of some kanjis... Like in some Jukugo the kanji itself never has a pronunciation anywhere close to the Onyomi (or the Kunyomi for that matter). How does this work? It's just so confusing to me.
Also as an example:
http://www.kanjidamage.com/kanji/13-un-%E4%B8%8D
This is 不 and its Onyomi is ふ
Then the next one is http://www.kanjidamage.com/kanji/14-no-%E5%90%A6 and its onyomi is ひ however the little "same-ON" link next to the radicals seems to imply that it uses the same onyomi as its main radical which would be ふ...

I fucking hate tests, in any language. They are too rigid and expect you to learn a "fake" language which is just more clinical than it actually is in the spoken real life examples.
I'm Italian and I consider English as a second language since I've been speaking it and writing it for almost 20 years at native level.
I've tried taking mock "academic" tests both as EN->IT and IT->EN and I failed a lot of times because of my usage of colloquialisms, or not using the exact phrasal verb they want, or not addressing somebody the exact same way as people are "taught" how to, etc etc.
My advice would be, unless you really need a certificate for language proficiency, don't bother with that crap. Obviously as personal training and just overall practice they are good, but still...
>Dekinai Japanese Thread
learning the readings is a waste of time (imo) because you wont remember them (some kanji have like 7 lol), I don't think there is any logic behind when to use one reading or another and if there is I haven't yet find any book that says so.
For example why some words with 見 start with "み" ,most of them with the meaning "look" or "show" etc so you think there is some kind of pattern or logic but then then you have 見学 for example which is written like けんがく...why why is not みがく... why would you suddenly change it to けん, けん is mostly used when the kanji ends the word like 意見 (いけん) so basically sometimes they use on and other kun, are they native jap words and that's why the use kun..? who knows, but with so many kanji is really hard if not impossible to learn the meanings by themselves, it's already really hard to memorize the kanji and their meanings let alone all their readings...
Maybe is not a waste of time... but thing is there are some better ways to spend your effort and time when you are learning japanese than learning that.

Don't know, but I remember in one thread his post and some of his other off-topic posts and shitposts all getting deleted at once and he stopped posting in the thread for a number of threads. Was hoping he'd finally stop posting it since it's just /v/ shit, a english TL of a doujin, and a random quote that usually has no relation to the thread or motivation. Given he's a semi-regular shitposter in the thread I doubt that'll happen though.

Okay, first of all, use the kanji deck. As for this example, it's just a mistake on the part of KD. Finally, trying to learn all the on'yomi/kun'yomi is pretty useless, unless it's a beta or solo kanji. If anything, learn either the main kun'yomi along with the okurigana or one jukugo with the kanji.

I'm currently building my own kanji deck as I add more and more of them as I go through. In the end it won't make a big difference and it helps me learn.

Yeah this is what I am focusing on. I focus on the kunyomi and check out the jukugo for definitions that might be useful to me (like common words etc etc) but overall I'm not stressing too much or trying to memorize everything. Thanks.

I've always been indifferent to learning primitives, kanji, and radicals instead of vocabulary simply because of laziness.
Now that I'm doing both I maintain my vocab MUCH better. Interestingly enough, I feel as though this wouldn't be the case if I had started RTK from the get-go.

It's pretty much mainly for EOPs and their scanlations. It also has even less content than the CoR, which is pretty sad considering it has been around for so much longer. A short while ago there was panic of it going down and a few threads popped up with a few anons trying to get a torrent backup of the site content seeded.
It would be nice if the CoR was integrated into a simple searchable database similar to bakamangaupdates. I have no idea how to do something like that myself and I primarily use an excel copy of the google sheet page for offline usage, but it would be handy to have for the live version. Integrate the genre and demographic tags for the manga sheet and file format type for the novel sheet.
Learning how to do that sounds harder and less enjoyable than reading grammar guides, though.

Get the "idea" of the on-yomi. You don't have to "remember" it right away.
Have you get to the kanji 中 in your study? So 中 can be considered "middle" in English right? Also it's read as なか and うち, now remember that, the kun-yomi. You don't have to remember the on-yomi チュウ right away. Just get the idea of it.
If you are persistent with your kanji study, you will then find 忠 仲 both also read as チュウ。
I can state another example like 義 of 義理. You don't need to remember right away that it's read ギ. However, when you encountered 会議礼儀 犠牲 you will eventually remember that these sort of kanji is read ギ.
Same with 交 of 交通. You will learn it early in most kanji book. It's read コウ. You don't have to memorize it that right away other than the idea of 交 is コウ, but when you eventually encounter 効 校 郊, you'll remember that all is read コウ.
And then you will get screwed by the irregularities like this is 較 read カク not コウ.
Just note that there are many irregularities to kanji readings. There are patterns, but there are many exceptions to the patterns.
There are a lot of advantages to learning kanji individually like you are doing. The same way there are a lot of very different advantages of learning Core 6k Deck early and never study kanji individually.
It's just style, choose what you think will benefit you the most.

Not if you keep everything in their respective mega accounts, I guess? What I was thinking of was just a search engine type front end for the spreadsheet which is used for the CoR.
>>138934461
I read that as ちゅうすけ instead of the word ちゅうかい, as it seemed like you were addressing anon with a name. What is odd is that I've never really noticed the name ちゅうすけ but I have read the word 仲介 several times. Odd in how I guess my brain has taken to associate how various kanji are read. Kanji, man.
>>138934579
Don't review it for a week or so and review it normally as you return from your break. The SRS in Anki will account for those missed reviews.
Better to not take a break and eventually your daily reviews will be so small that it will almost like nothing.

>>138934857
This is, in all seriousness, the purpose of the review cap.
You set it to something you're willing to do in a single day, but not something that you'll ever reach by normal review accumulation. When you get back from holiday, you'll do that many reps every day for a few days, until it settles back down to normal.
The people who say to set it to 9999 are mistaken.
>>138934684
From personal experience, Chinese native beginner Japanese learners really fucking fail all over the place trying to read words properly, even worse than people without a character background because they have to fight reading them how they normally do in Mandarin and/or Cantonese.
This also might be limited to anecdote but fuck me every Chink I've known to study Japanese, at least in my country, couldn't pronounce Japanese for shit. It's like they kept trying to add all of these Chinese sounds to kana which don't exist in Japanese.
>>138934857
>but I don't want to come home with 700-1000 cards waiting for me
So make sure you don't have 700-1000 cards waiting for you. The entire point of Anki is that you are shown facts just before you naturally begin to forget them, which is why it is optimal to review them as they are due.
>>138934935
>The people who say to set it to 9999 are mistaken.
The reason this is suggested is by placing daily review limits which trespass the amount of reviews you are going to be doing on a daily basis is directly impinging on the efficiency of the program.
>>138934857
>So that's a no?
>You guys say it's all okay and shit, but I don't want to come home with 700-1000 cards waiting for me. I'll lose my motivation to continue.
How would you go about simply pushing back your schedule one week without fucking up the SRS system? Every cards that have been scheduled for the following seven days will hit you hard when you come back.
>>138934935
>When you get back from holiday, you'll do that many reps every day for a few days, until it settles back down to normal.
Except it doesn't when you do more than 20 cards a day, unless the cap is really high. That's pants over head retarded, because you won't review stuff you need to review at the moment (instead you'll review older cards which should've been reviewed earlier) and hence miss the whole point of Anki.
>手を掴まれたかと思えば、無理矢理車に乗せられた。
I don't understand how the ば works here. Is it suppose to be something like "when"? Still not sure how much sense that makes with the previous bit. Is it like "when I realized my hand was grabbed, I was forced into the car"?

Well that's pretty normal I guess. Imagine if we had to use roman letters but mixed up the pronunciation of each letter to correspond to another one, or even other sounds that don't exist now. This would be hell.
>>138935045
I'm travelling for a week and won't be able to do anki. And no, I won't have a smartphone with me.
Judging from my usual schedule, one week of not studying will get me at least 500 cards, most likely near 800.
>>138935056
I thought it might be possible to freeze your deck.
>>138935176
It probably is pretty normal but it is really awkward to see in action. Their speech was generally punctuated into jutting units instead of flowing sounds, very similar to the segmented nature of spoken Chinese dialects. Aside from having a character familiarity, they seemed to have more fundamental issues with coming to terms with the language than the English native learners. It's like they were so used to a certain rhythm to language and were suddenly being forced to play at an entirely different time signature, making me really doubt the so called advantage Chinese natives have when it comes to Japanese language acquisition.
>>138935355
>one week of not studying will get me at least 500 cards, most likely near 800
What are the format of your cards? If they are simple recall/recognition/production cards for vocab or kanji, that would take a few hours at worst.
>I thought it might be possible to freeze your deck.
That defeats the entire purpose of Anki.
>>138935355
>I thought it might be possible to freeze your deck.
You can't freeze your memory, that's the problem.
>>138935085
>Is it suppose to be something like "when"
Yes.
>"when I realized my hand was grabbed, I was forced into the car"?
Literally "When I thought "Was my hand grabbed?"", or more naturally, "as soon as my hand was grabbed".
>>138935441
>making me really doubt the so called advantage Chinese natives have when it comes to Japanese language acquisition.
I think the only advantage they have here is being acquainted to the kanji. But att the same time, it's a big disadvantage because kanji are already fully 'stuck' in their head. Changing their pronunciation is harder, especially when it has multiple readings (which, IIRC, Chinese doesn't have).
>>138935552
Oh, alright. I'm used to seeing と that way but not really ば so I was unsure of it. Thank you.

>which, IIRC, Chinese doesn't have
Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, etc. have a lot of different readings for their hanzi but it is a lot more predictable than in Japanese, which is a bit of a free for all.
>>138935668
>Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, etc. have a lot of different readings for their hanzi but it is a lot more predictable than in Japanese, which is a bit of a free for all.
That's not what I meant. I mean, if you pick only one dialect, for instance Cantonese, I think the hanzi reading are unique. But then again, I might be wrong and I apologize if that's what you were saying.
>>138935753
>I think the hanzi reading are unique
Nah, they also have multiple readings for individual hanzi. It's just a lot less chaotic than modern Japanese. The way the language is structured, the readings are more obvious. Pity the languages of China sound so fucking horrible.

There's just too much vocabulary. I felt I had to focus my efforts on it before doing anything else. I'll work through Tae Kim after I finish Core10k I think.
>>138941853
that is incredibly stupid
So you plan on spending 1-2 years not interacting with the language at all while you grind bland vocabulary from core10k?
>>138941853
I'm working on a core 125k deck just for people like you.
>>138941684
Since the picture's already here, what does 続けてこられた mean here? That they were absorbed with making the continuation?
What's your review schedule like? I'm trying to find a good time to play VNs.
>>138941873
Yes. And I'll be that much more powerful coming out on other the side. Learning the language itself will be a easy when the vocabulary frame has been established.
>>138942002
It's the potential form of 続けてくる
>>138942061
Does that expression roughly translate into that they were devoted into making the sequel?
>>138942284

私の悩み聞いてください。
私医学生です。
ふつう学ぶことが好きですが、なぜか大学の勉強は大嫌いです。
他の生徒たちと点数を比べるとか、テストの日の前に徹夜するとか、ストレスを感じるながら難しい本を読むとか、すべて話にならないほど疲れます。
来週から６月まで毎週テストがあります。休みやいんですが、勉強しなければまた今年も落第します。とても不安です。もう卒業せず年を取りたくありません。
この場合どうすればいいんですか。

Went through my first sex scene since I started mining and set a new record for # of words mined in a day. It would have been 20+ higher but I don't want to fill my deck with tons of sex words. Satsukoi is much more specific than Flyable Heart and uses lots of anatomical terms.
>>138941729
I personally do not recommend it.
1 year in and I still haven't read anything and I've hardly progressed in the deck even though it's all I do. Getting a job really fucked me, you can even tell where i started it on my review count.
>>138941853
That's retarded. There's a reason people read Tae Kim while grinding decks, the sooner you're able to start reading, the better.

>not playing the PC-98 masterpiece that is Possessioner
You beat up lesbians and have sex with them in a cyberpunk world, what's not to like.
What the fuck? Core 10k starts repeating itself in the middle. Why does it have two identical sets of words?
>>138942937
Japanese doesn't have more than 5k words.
>>138942708
You're 223 days in, not 1 year.
And you've got them all spread out to make it that much worse. Anki is designed to be used every day.
>>138942979
There's 20k cards in the deck and it seems that the second half is just first 10k words repeated with the current word blacked out from the reference sentence on the front.
>>138943029
Does Anki use my own PC time or does it count a day as 24 hours after your last reps?
>>138943115
It uses your PC time and adds new cards every 24 hours, I think at 3 or 4 AM by default depending on daylight savings
>>138942937
>>138943045
Guess it's review only for me from now on. And mining.

Is there a DoJG deck that's ordered by usefulness/frequency/difficulty, or will I have to go through the entire alphabet of the dictionary while studying? I just finished Tae Kim, but remember only about a quarter of it (hopefully the rest comes back to me when I have to keep referencing it, if I recognize it in the first place).
>>138943318
>grammar
>anki
>>138943029
It's almost a year if you count when I was doing core 2k and kim before switching to this kanji deck.
And I am fully aware you are meant to do it every day but having a job, a crippling video game addiction and no self control ruined that. For whatever reason I just can't bring myself to study on the weekend. I am also incredibly slow on anki, my average answer time is 20 seconds per card.
>>138943421
20 seconds is not so bad.

I know there are a lot of people that post fake study recaps but generally I don't think I've ever seen a single person with a worse time to cards ratio than me which is disheartening. Thanks for encouraging me though, I don't plan on giving up I'm just upset with my pace and inconsistency.

I'm having trouble deciphering a sentence and I would like some help.
「何が得策なのかは、今となってはもうわかりにくいが。

I don't understand what 縁通い漢字 means. Google and Jisho did not help much.
>>138944835
Both of the kanji 得 and 策 (as in, both of their meanings) seem quite far from her
>>138945122
Oh shit, I see it now. Can't believe I missed that, it makes perfect sense now. Thank you!

Does アドレナる just mean 'when high on adrenaline' or something? Can't find any definition for it anywhere, even in moon.
>>138946229
It's jocular but yes, you can infer that's basically what it's supposed to mean.
>>138946251
>jocular
What makes it so funny?
It's just odd though, googling doesn't really seem to turn up anything in that form, I think the author made up a fucking verb. Should be laws against that.

You've achieved upper-beginner-level and may now begin giving advice to newcomers about any aspect of the language even if you haven't learned it yet yourself, and acting smug if anyone corrects you because half the thread won't know better anyway.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Anyone else feeling suicidal after study sessions? It feels like the more I study, the less I know.
>>138947173
Not really. I've learned to enjoy the journey rather than focusing on end goals or worrying about how much is left to go. You'll be a lot happier that way.
There's a lot of memehard material I'm interested in, but there's also a ton of easier material I'm interested in too, so there's honestly no need to be in such a rush if I'm going to be reading all of that stuff eventually anyways. It's better to enjoy yourself and take your time reading things that interest you while gradually turning up the difficulty over time.
>>138947173
I feel suicidal after completing my daily Anki reps.
I'm thinking of giving up on them entirely and just reading compelling content with the time I'd normally spend on Anki.
>>138947394
You should, reading is far more useful than doing reps. I stopped doing my reps after about a year of studying and was completely fine.
>>138931683
this helped a lot with finding foot smut on pixiv
>>138947394
Just reading alone isn't good enough though. You need to treat the reading like a study.
It's really easy to focus too much on the meaning of the sentence you're reading and forget that the main goal is to acquire vocab.
>みんなシャイなんだな、きっと。それでいてむっつり助平なのだ。きっとそうだ。
>Believe me, everyone appears to be shy. And yet the taciturn person is lewd. No doubt.
Three questions:
What's the 'ん' doing here?
Did I get the 'だな' right?
An alternative would be 'the taciturn person's mind is dirty', but would that be too much?
>>138947887
>And yet the taciturn person is lewd.
If you don't mind me saying, this is a very awkward sounding sentence.
>>138947901
Well if we take 'むっつり', the sentence could also be: the sullen, lewd guy is dirty-minded.
>>138947887
>taciturn person
Had to google this
>What's the 'ん' doing here
It's a casual explanation

Which Kanji anki deck is best? The Kanjidamage one seems pretty obnoxious but the nihongoshark one lacks readings

They all suck. If you want the best, get the ichi-moe deck, but know that it's information overload and will be difficult to memorize things from.

Going through one of those phases where doing anki is unbearable, pretty annoying
>>138949674
Same.
My retention today was like 50%
>>138949715
I wonder what causes it, the past couple of weeks I've been dominating that shit getting like 90% retention, but now I just can't deal with it at all
>>138949778
Yeah I don't know.
I'm gonna hold off on doing new cards for a day or two to catch up on my reviews.
I think adding new cards right now when I'm doing terrible on just my reviews will just make it worse.
It all comes tumbling down.
