I didn't work hard to make Ruby perfect for everyone, because you feel differently from me. No language can be perfect for everyone. I tried to make Ruby perfect for me, but maybe it's not perfect for you. The perfect language for Guido van Rossum is probably Python.

Anyone reading/read the Flying shoes VN? I think its called ao kanata prism or something. I'm reading it now after watching the anime. Anime was kind of shit but I'm liking the VN so far. Kind of boring going through the stuff again though but I really wanna bang misaki and the pink haired girl from the other school

>>139795047
I've only done core so far, and I don't do any new cards from, it. I already know basically all of the words well
>>139794927
Same thing I read every day
Tae Kim and Anki cards
>>139795047
? Doesn't seem that outlandish
>>139794656
You probably have steps longer than 10 minutes and still have the "learn ahead limit" in Anki's base settings (Tools -> Preferences) set to 10 minutes. Sometimes it bugs out a little bit and takes a minute longer for reviews to pop up though, so if you only have 10 minute steps then set the "study ahead by _ minutes" setting to 11 or something.
>>139794927
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/index.html
>>139794887
Probably going to read it after the next couple VNs I have lined up. Didn't watch the anime because I heard it was bad, so I'll just watch it with BDs after reading it.
俺わ四百二十のジョイントを炎為るぜー。 一緒にヤニろう？
>>139795197
My steps are apparently 1 10 30
Study ahead thing is 20 minutes. So I'm supposed to set it to 11 min? Not sure I get it.. And well, am I supposed to do Anki multiple times a day like this?
>>139795354
If it's 1 10 30 and you have the study ahead set to 20 minutes, then you have to wait out the remaining 10 minutes of that 30 minute interval for those reviews since the learn ahead limit is only taking 20 minutes off of it.
>>139795450
So do I lower the step to 20 or increase to learn ahead limit to 30? Or do I just leave it as is? I'm confused. What do you or others use?
>>139795354
When I was doing Anki I liked to set the third step ahead to like 60 minutes and then come back whenever during the day and flip through the cards one last time before sending them to the next day. It worked pretty well for me.
日本語で糞レスをするの気持ちはいいよね
>>139795496
I'd probably just leave it as it is for now. If you can't remember it after 10 minutes, you're definitely not going to remember it the next day. I have more or less the same settings (1 10 30 steps) except my learn ahead limit is 15 minutes instead of 20.

Japanese is a formidable language
>Almost at 10000 cards
>Tfw when you know that an average Jap knows around 45k words.
>>139795972
It's like you can understand most stuff but once it gets even a bit technical/specific you get knocked right back onto your ass unless you're reading and have kanji to assist you (and even then you're still likely looking those words up to make sure your guess was right).
>>139795972
>tfw when you know 1200 kanji which mean you know more than 20k words.
>>139796067
That doesn't mean anything like that.
>>139796099
It does. I know a lot of words and that's excluding the words I can just guess by looking at the kanji.
>>139796152
That's weird, usually people finish Jouyou before memorizing up to such a number of words.
Why is 一 pronounced "ichi" and 一つ "hitotsu"?
This confuses me because I got used to spelling in japanese being pretty straightforward.
>>139796067
"knowing" a kanji ranges from "one meaning (and one reading)" to "every meaning, reading, compound and radical". You should probably define that further.
>>139796248
Kun an On readings basically.
Anyway, the most notorious readings in Japanese can be found in counters, others are relatively easy.
>>139796248
Every second word is like that.
>>139796294
Something in between those two, though I know the radical arrangement for the 1200 kanjis.
>>139796248
Numbers can seem very weird at the start. Basically there are new (on reading) and old numbers (kun reading) but they're used simultaneously. Doesn't get better when some syllables are fusing together and exceptions exist. That leads to something like
１ = ichi (on)
１回 = ikkai (ichi + kai fusing together)
１日 = tsuitachi (exception)
１人 = hitori (kun)
Which is one of the reasons counting in japanese can be a pain. Most counters use the on readings though.
Is context even real in context of Japanese? Or it's just a buzzword that WaniKani uses to lure subscribers?
>>139794791

Above is an example of one of the concepts from the DoJG (basic volume) which has had its respective image from the DoJG Anki deck converted to text, added to the DoJG.pdf.
I've converted a few dozen concepts so far and are going to start adding them batches, but haven't got a format laid out. The docx version of the DoJG.pdf I am using is done really well, everything properly in styles, so I used two pre-existing styles; one for the 【Notes】/【Related Expression】and one for the body of the Notes text, so tweaking that is just a matter of tweaking the styles.
Question on the format: if that okay for the Notes section or is there a more ideal layout?

If you support imouto you aren't good here, you can leave now. Nobody is going to miss you so you shouldn't worry about hurting anyone's feelings.
>>139797490
I agree. At least post with high quality images.
>>139797546
I'll miss him I think. He seems like a good boy.
>>139797593
>>139797489
If someone or something is directly opposite it can be right in front of you. Stand directly opposite a mirror: you're right in front of it and your reflection is directly opposite.
>>139797609
You'll find people like him there without a doubt, so fuck off already.
>>139797546
I'm mostly indifferent, personally. He's a helpful poster overall. It'd be nice if he included some useful trivia or information in every post instead of some of the random roleplaying stuff he usually does when not responding to someone, but there are plenty of other posts that are just as worthless and off-topic, including this conversation.
I'll be staying. Thanks for your concern, though.
>>139797685
Don't bother, you can't reason with this guy -- he's a fat loser who stays in his parent's basement so the only power he gets is by trying to impose his shitty rules on other people.
>>139797649
Never ever
>>139797685
His posts about going to the bath and how spring has come are so informative and helpful. If you weren't fucking stupid you would notice that he has no intention of actually helping anyone. He just likes people like you defending him for answering questions once in a while. Now you can fuck off.

私の場合は妹の事気にしない。

>>139797796
It seems you didn't read my post. Try giving it another read. If you still don't understand what's written there, then maybe it's simply too deep for you. Either way, arguing with me is pointless and you're in the minority when you want him to fuck off. I won't be responding anymore, so have fun talking to a wall / whoever responds to you.
>>139797735
Yeah I'm done posting now, it's just funny seeing him have the same argument with people thread after thread thinking his opinion is in the majority and then getting extremely hostile when people don't agree with his viewpoint. He attaches images with the same name in each of his posts, so if the majority of people like him then the ones who don't can conveniently filter all of his posts. Personally I wish imoutohater would put a trip on so I could filter him, but it's amusing seeing him get so worked up so eh.
The more Japanese I learn and read the harder it is to even see the characters properly. Has anyone ran into this? My eyes just don't seem to get enough detail to differentiate or recognise the more complex characters.

Stop defending avatarfaggotry and stop trying to personally insult people who point out avatarfaggotry using the rules as an objective measure. If you think you can hide behind crappy Japanese you are surely mistaken.
Obviously I have reported him. If you are defending this avatarfaggotry then you should also defend frogposting and tripfagging for they are done for the same reasons.
>>139798287
The mods haven't banned him yet. That means you're wrong in all aspects including your warped interpretation of the rules.
>>139798277
yeah how dare people who are learning japanese frequent a thread focused around learning japanese wtf man stupid generalfags what are they thinking エックス・ディー
>>139798346

No, it means the mods aren't doing their jobs.
>>139798346
Using the same filename and type of pictures isn't a signature? Mods won't ban him because he is using Japanese.
How do I learn the right way? I feel like a retard spending 30 minutes without being able to learn like 10 words. I pronounce them loudly and feel like I will remember them but then when they appear I have no idea what they mean or how you pronounce them.

No, anon. You are smarter than this. We don't like avatarfagging either, but imouto occasionally makes worthwhile contributions, and it's in any case nice to have a real native speaker here to act as a circuit breaker in situations like
>>139797848
>>139798192
this.
>>139798420

It's right there in the rules, black and white.

Nice deflection. Stop trying to change the subject.
>>139798447
>You are smarter than this
Smarter than you, clearly. Imouto shitposter isn't a native and all of his "answers" are tantamount to using a search engine.
>>139798440
one is bigger than the other
>>139798489
>he's so bad at japanese that he gets triggered when he sees a native posting
>>139798447
So you will allow him to avatarfag as long as he occasionally answers questions? And you say that you don't support it?
>>139798489
I bet you can't even read imouto's post, illiterate child.
Imouto is clearly loved by all. Haters, begone.
I want imouto to keep avatarfagging because it's funny seeing a couple autists get so incredibly upset over it
>>139798553
Sure
>>139798610
Literally just one guy.
>>139798602
note that imouto can still be pretty great even if he's not the greatest thing ever. i voted no because COMPELLING CONTENT (porn or not-porn) involving cute anime girls edges out, but imouto is a close second
>>139798610
That's totally not your self-delusional way of justifying this kind of behavior.
>you could be reading, learning japanese, or doing something productive but instead you shit up a thread on 4chan with meta shit that no one except you cares about

This doesn't justify anything, even if 99% were against him he shouldn't be banned if he doesn't violate the rules, which he clearly is in this case.
Why even argue about this when Imouto barely posts anymore?

Nothing will change until he stops posting completely or drops the avatarfagging/roleplaying act.

I can understand getting upset when he posted all the time but that it's once a thread, if that, isn't it smarter to just relax and stop caring? It's a simple equation of time investment vs gain. You're investing a lot of your time typing up complaints and arguing with people. The gain you get from it will be very small, since imouto barely posts. See?
>>139799692
I don't understand this mentality of yours, if you support the tumblr-like level of delusional roleplaying here, why can't you state it clearly?
>>139799545
Maybe you should calm down and buy a handy dandy Bitlaser. Not only will you learn Japanese at a much faster rate with a truly indespinsible tool like it in your arsenal, but you can also point it directly into your eyes so you won't be able to see his posts anymore.
>>139799889
Learning Japanese is impossible, 出来ない and all, nobody is going to buy bitlasers just for that.
>>139799790
>I don't understand this mentality of yours,
I look at Activities through a veil of time since time is a limited resource. I consider whether any activity is worth the time before I do it. I limit my time on 4chan because I don't think it's very worthwhile but I also like the social interaction. So I look at you and see you irrationally wasting a lot of time and my mentality is saying "wow, maybe if I point out he's wasting his time he'll stop wasting it".
However, what I figure, is that you've actually built up imouto very large in your head. So you THINK you're spending your time well, when in truth you aren't. Or perhaps you just see a single post by him and get upset enough to knowingly waste time. I suggest stopping getting upset over stuff like that, it's fairly immature.
>>139799953
Do you consider this post to be a good investment of time? If you think I 'built him up' in my head, then is there any reason to try to stop me? Surely I'm just crazy and doing this for no reason.
One simple question - do you support roleplaying in this thread?
That feel when i can play ni no kuni by using google translate only once every two sentences. I spend ten-twenty seconds per sentences, though.
Hey, is reading furigana gonna fuck me up later when i stop relying on them ?
I didn't try to play pokémon because kana-only definitely would, but are furiganas as bad ?
>>139800043
>Do you consider this post to be a good investment of time
Not really, but like I said, I consider all of 4chan a waste of time, so in this limited time frame I've given myself to post I may as well post whatever I want.
>then is there any reason to try to stop me?
It's tragic to see someone waste so much of their time. Just thought I'd chime in. If you're content wasting your time then carry on.
> Surely I'm just crazy and doing this for no reason.
No, like I said, you're either getting upset and are being immature, or you've built up imouto in your head so you think "fighting" him is a valuable use of time.
>One simple question - do you support roleplaying in this thread?
I don't have strong opinions one way or the other. That question to me is like, "do you support people playing shiritori here" "do you support people posting about VNs here" "do you support people discussing their Anki habits here". I don't really care. DJT isn't my home, I open the thread once a day, skim through the posts, maybe reply to a couple, and then I'm done. I have no strong feelings as to what occurs here.
>>139800204
This is generally a good mindset to have I think. I feel like people who get extremely upset over meta stuff are the sort of people who are way too invested in this place and want to force it to be how they want it to be.
>>139800321
Yeah I agree. It's definitely the result of DJT being a general, and people staying on here 24/7 literally. People forget to treat this thread like any other one on 4chan.
>>139800204
What's your point exactly? You want me to stop? I already told you that's not going to happen until he drops his avatarfagging. I don't mind spending my time this way as I have a lot of it.
If you don't care about roleplaying or this thread, why do you care about someone being against it?
>>139800400
I have the thread open 24/7 pretty much, but I still post/read with that mindset more or less instead of treating it like a general / my home or something.
>>139800431
>I already told you that's not going to happen until he drops his avatarfagging. I don't mind spending my time this way as I have a lot of it.
Well OK. Immaturity it is. At least the people arguing against you understand that now and will maybe stop wasting their time.
>why do you care about someone being against it?
Like I said. I see someone wasting time and I think "wow, that guy's wasting a good chunk of his life on nothing, maybe if I point it out he'll wisen up and live a happier, better life". It was pure magnanimity. I don't mind if you keep fighting imouto. I won't be here to see most of it anyway.
>>139800431
Go out for a bit. You can reply when you come back.
I'm coming back from a long hiatus. Is rikaisama still the best? Can you still even install it since mozilla required addon signing?
>>139800702
Yes. It still gets updated, but if it gets disabled by required signatures then you can fix it by disabling Firefox requiring signatures by going to about:config and setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to false.
If you were at the point where you were reading VNs you can also use http://pastebin.com/raw/DgZ84qwk to texthook the VN directly into Firefox.

I've been interested in the 龍が如く series but I don't think I'm at a level where I'd be able to follow along with what's being said. What's something similar to it in terms of vocabulary and such where I can control the pace like a manga or VN or game with manually advanced text? Hell, maybe some movies or shows too since I should really practice my listening comprehension and I can just rewind those anyway.
>>139803477

>>139805077
It does get easier. You might want to review the tips in the Anki start-up guide or consider doing RTK/a radical deck if you have difficulty distinguishing kanji.
>>139805394
That's pussy advice honestly
>>139805455
Distinguishing kanji is not the problem. For pretty much every card I remember the meaning instantly. Its pronunciation that takes me awhile to learn.

And the guy you were replying to hadn't done any new cards that day, his average was 20 minutes per day, not 4.
As for your pace I wouldn't know since I never did core, but ultimately what counts isn't how quickly or slowly you review your cards. What counts is that you learn effectively, because even if it takes long initially, in the long run you win the time back if that extra time investment is what allows you to memorize things properly.
Hey imouto, do any online dictionaries have audio clips of natives pronouncing the words? I'm not sure where to get word audio when the thing I'm reading is unvoiced and the audio isn't on Rikai or Forvo.
>>139805394
Is there any truth to this?
>>139805780
うん、ことは自体の返事ができるね。
>>139805710
Only dumb EOPs need audio.
>>139805931
I just like to be sure of the intonation and stuff. I can read from rikaisama or my memory.
>>139805780
Yes. i-adjectives already have "to be" built in. です is only used for politeness sometimes. だ adds nothing.

>he's false flagging so hard that he's actually digging up posts from the archive
Is this the same guy who was spamming fake questions from reddit and koohii and shit?
I just typed out an entire question and it was answered by itself when my IME accidentally displayed the word
In case anyone's wondering
>「すると気球はますます傾き、重くなる。ついには村全体を引きずりおとそうとする」
I was super confused with the おとそうとする part but the IME autofilled it into 落とそう and I got it. It's funny how my brain shits itself sometimes.

Help pls.
Also how do you learn Kanji? The heisig methods works pretty well so far but that's only because I have only learnt like 20 Kanji yet. I have no idea how I am going to remember over 1000 of these, especially when they get so complex they don't look like anything. Also I only learn the meaning but not the spelling of them.
>>139806250
Probably.
>>139807051
only learn core vocab and grammar if you want the easy way
>>139807051
>especially when they get so complex they don't look like anything
The majority of them are just a combination of only a few components or other kanji. Heisig mnemonics are designed to help you remember what components are in each kanji so you can write them from memory. Main issue is the English keywords since sometimes they can be inaccurate and it's easy to mix them up, so you should probably add cloze vocab (example vocab with the kanji in question replaced with hiragana) to your cards as you go along to help combat this and to introduce readings and actual vocab as you go.
I wish I could do kanji grid for multiple decks at once
>>139807051
Once you're 2000 kanji through Heisig or Kanjidamage you'll look back and think "is that it"?
Anyone who shits on these methods are retarded. They work like wizardry
>>139807524
KD only has around 1600 kanji though.
>>139805077
Alright today it only took me 40 minutes today, but I still feel like I'm forgetting the majority of the material I learn
On saturdays I work from 8am to 11pm, its it too damaging on my progress if I just do a day on reviews and not learn any new cards? I probobly have no choice but to do that once a week.
>>139807735
>8am to 11pm
You have my blessing to skip new cards on Saturdays. But maybe you could spread them out over the other days instead of removing them altogether?
>>139807218
>so you should probably add cloze vocab (example vocab with the kanji in question replaced with hiragana) to your cards as you go along to help combat this and to introduce readings and actual vocab as you go.
How exactly would I go on about doing this? Right now I am using premade card decks.
Some of the Kanji I don't understand how I would use them. Like 旧 "old times"
Also how much vocabulary should I need before reading or watching something in Japanese? Should I be doing it right from the start?
>>139807841
>Also how much vocabulary should I need before reading
Usually you can start reading children's news sites and low level manga like yotsuba around 1000 words
>Some of the Kanji I don't understand how I would use them. Like 旧 "old times"
古 and 旧 are different in that the first one says something is just old in of itself, and the later denotes something is old because it is "former". "former girlfriend", "former (used) car"
If you want to find out how a kanji is used in context, google the kanji+jp (so you dont get any chinese sites). For example, googling 旧 gives me a Toyota site
http://www.toyota-catalog.jp/catalog/
where they use 旧車, as in "used car"
>watching something in Japanese
There are people here who have been studying for multiple years and still can't "watch" anything in japanese. Hearing japanese is on another level to reading it. I recommend starting early with listening exercises if that really is your goal. Japanesepod101 is an often cited one. You can download pretty much every single one in the COP.
I've learned some hiragana characters. I am a little confused about how to use them. For example, if i saw a sentance written in hiragana, would I look at each character and say those sounds to make English words, or would it make romanji words. And if it made romanji, wouldn't I then have to learn all of the definitions for those words?
>>139798440
Just in case you are serious
context
They could literally be the same character and it still wouldn't be a problem
>>139808251
what
Hiragana is mostly used for grammar, particles and conjugation and that kind of thing. Nouns verbs and adverbs are written (mostly) in kanji
Loan words from other languages such as ハンバーガー are written in katakana
It actually happened
Monet was referenced in the LN I'm reading
>>139808236
VNs are also decent for getting some listening practice if you're not tuning the audio out. And seasonal anime with Japanese subs from http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F (have to shift them after the OP, eyecatch, and ED) and texthooking them with http://pastebin.com/raw/DgZ84qwk (requires 32 bit player). Or re-watching old anime you've already seen.

Is it enough to study 1 hour a day?
ジャップは人間ではない。
>>139809135
Yeah but eventually you should recreationally read in Japanese for more than 1 hour a day if you want to hit fluency before 5-10 years.
>>139809202
does LingQ actually works. The guy who shills it on his youtube channel claims hes learned like every European langauge
How does your daily study plan look like?
>>139809287
LingQ is essentially an Anki overlay over public reading material, so yes it works, it's just flash cards + reading. It's just less effective than making an anki deck.
>>139809310
reps and 50 new words in anki, grammar until i stop feeling like trash and reading for like 2 hours
>>139809310
>fap to doujin and hmanga magazines for 5 hours

I'll do them after posting this
>>139809401

4 hours of anki
30 minutes of reading
10 hours of watching cute japanese streamers
>>139809463
anki
>>139809310
When I have 2 hours free I do anki vocab deck and my kanjidamage deck, I do 20 new words a day from both
when on the bus or walking I'm listening to japanesepod101
One day Ill actually start learning grammar
>>139809531
Where do you fit in going to work and spending time with your wife and kids?
>>139809531
>4 hours of anki
How many words do you learn?
I need a lot of attempts before I actually memorize a word. Is that normal?
>>139809310
I do 20-30 new words a day depending on how I feel like
1-2 hours of reading
Sometimes anime without subs
>>139809531
>10 hours of watching cute japanese streamers
I would neck myself if I had to do this
>>139809626
Made me laugh, well done mememaster.
>most of anime, manga, video games, VN are all subbed in English already

>>139809811

If you're going to make bait at least give yourself some appearance of legitimacy
>>139809811
Translations are always way worse than the original material.
>>139809811
professional subbers
>>139809811
VNs
Books
Music
Getting closer to the original material/not relying on amateur translators
>>139809811
It's true that it's mostly pointless for manga and anime.
However there's lots of GOD TIER VNs, LNs and even games that aren't translated and won't be for a very long time if at all.
>>139809811
Everyone here will tell you that there is good stuff untranslated but they are all lying.
I say the biggest benefit to learning japanese is light novels since baka tsuki is slow as fuck and unreadable
Gaijins can never learn to watch anime unsubbed. You have to move to japan and be immersed 25/7 in order to achieve that level on comprehension.
>>139809811
I want to watch japanese tv and browse japanese imageboards and watch japanese youtube videos.
>>139809926
>It's true that it's mostly pointless for manga and anime.
I have a hobby of checking the quality of scanlations and they're so consistently wrong, it's DEFINITELY valid to learn Japanese for manga. Scanlators suck ass.
>>139809891
I don't see the problem?
