>that guy that tries to learn Japanese using rōmaji
>>141461816
>that guy that tries to learn Japanese using anki
>that guy that tries to learn Japanese using RTK
what does 'kokoloko' mean? I kept hearing it everywhere
My Japanese language learning is fueled with hatred to the Japanese. I am jealous at how they're good at everything from anime to cars to space programs. With those things, the Japanese should have the right look down on other Asians and get away with murder and rape that they did on other countries. Most Asians think that the Japanese are rich people. The people here think that Japanese people are hard-working rich people, but I don't believe so. They're pathetic, unhappy people who are just too dumb to invent anything. I wish I could look down on the Japanese, but I can't because they're way too good at everything.
>>141461851
It has the anime meaning of "first sex"
>>141461873
>I am jealous at how they're good at everything
>Japan is responsible for the creation of anime
ｗｗ爆笑
>>141461873
cont. The only thing they're bad at is English. Being bad at English doesn't mean they're dumb, it just means that they're culturally superior to any other race. While most of the people here are good at English which is generally useless on other fields while the Japanese are good at science, calculus, and physics which is generally useful on almost any fields. Many Asian countries rely to the Japanese on anything technology related but nobody relies on these countries on anything technology related which is sad.

What does すごい mean? I don't want to learn this stupid language but I hear it very often in anime.
>>141462109
google it retard
>>141462109
the pleasure of being cummed inside
>>141462139
How do you unironically say that in Japanese?
>>141461969
cont. I used to idolize Japan a lot especially their weather and nature. The Sakura trees are beautiful, their cities are clean and safe, and how their history is so great. But there are some people who has awoken of the Japanese dream. Japan is just like any other country out there. I realized there's nothing good in Japan if you scrap out the anime fever. Everything is claustrophobic, Japanese people look down on you for being white, black, or brown. Their behavior is worse than the Korean's plastic surgery. They think they're innocent of the war crimes that their forefathers did. Nothing is good in living or working in Japan. I'd rather stay on my home and help my country to be better than Japan even though it's impossible to achieve that in my lifetime, but I know it will come in the future. It will come in the future.
Thesis/End.
>>141462170
you say "すごい"
>>141462136
Fuck you. Good luck learning a useless language.
>>141462139
But I hear it in anime aimed at children (most anime). I'm sure they wouldn't say it in those shows.
>>141462199
>good luck learning a useless language
Says the retard relying on people who know said language to be able to access Chinese cartoons
>>141462239
>who know said language
Being able to read porn manga isn't knowing a language lol
Good luck learning something so utterly useless. Every anime is translated these days.
>>141462267
A shitload of LNs and VNs are not translated
>a language is only useful if it helps from an economical standpoint
Good luck being a wageslave for the rest of your life.
>Core 2k/6k Optimized Japanese Vocabulary
How good will my Japanese be after I'm done with that deck? (let's say I'm done with the grammar as well)
I mean there are 1608 kanji in that deck, but there exist quite a few more than that.
Will I already be good enough, so I only add words I don't know every now and then, or do I have to go for another deck after that?
>>141462331
LNs and VNs are trash. Just like manga.
I didn't say anything about money. A language like Japanese is useless since it's only used in one country and this country produces mostly garbage media.
>>141462267
Go back to /v/ or whatever shit hole you're coming from faggot.
You won't get any help here.
>>141462334
How good will you be inside anki? Depends on you, maybe pretty good.
How good will you be outside of it? You will have 0 vocab.
>>141462372
>>141462385
>>141462407
Did I offend your anime feelings? I'll be going now.
Have a great time learning the language of a racist, garbage media producing country.
>>141462393
何？
No idea what you just said.
Great thread
>>141461562
infinite loop
>>141462431
Anki won't help you in learning vocabulary. It is mainly used as a placebo.
>>141462456
you are wrong
>>141462495
I presume this is your method of making the placebo effect stronger?
>>141462456
Ok I'll bite, what do you suggest then?
I'm currently using anki for the 2k6 deck and the yotsubato reading deck alongside it, so I can put my Japanese to some use soon, since I think using the language is when you really start to learn it.
What's wrong with it, or what could I improve?
>>141462602
He's baiting.
ジャマルさん。。。
>>141462334
Doing the entire deck is probably not a good idea. Going at a pace of more than 20 cards a day ends badly for most people (poor retention, tons of reviews each day), and at that pace it would take you 300 days to get through it. After 2000 words, it's best to make the jump to mining. It'll be hard at first, but spending the best part of a year just drilling vocab would feel very tedious and unrewarding, I expect, and even if you did it, your vocab would still be too small to read comfortably.
>>141462602
>using the language is when you really start to learn it.
Do this instead of anki.

It's explained in the guide. CTRL+F for "mining".
>>141462757
A self created placebo deck. Not that different from a premade placebo deck.
>>141462757
Reading and adding words you come across to an Anki deck.

Just start mining when you're done with core, or even before that. I halted the new cards when I got to 4k.

Are you telling me you are playing a game in Japanese and don't know that word?
>>141465374
Yes i'm playing a shitty game now tell me this word or i will 斬る you
i opened a card now where do I click to make it go?
I don't want to talk like a news caster, but I still need to be able to understand them when I watch the news.
I don't want to talk like an anime hero would, but I still need to be able to understand them when I watch anime.
I don't want to talk like an action movie star, but I still need to be able to understand them when I watch action movies.
I don't want to talk like an ancient samurai, but I still need to be able to understand them when I watch historical drama.
Learning from all of these sources are fine, as INPUT is entirely different than OUTPUT. You should strive to experience a wide variety of inputs to be able to understand things in general.
A lot of anime in particular can have Slice of Life style situations too, so it's not that far removed from normal everyday dialogue.

For future reference (on how to tell if something is a shitpost):
>calls the community made guide/whatever method a piece of shit with no reasoning given why
>insults someone giving helpful advice with no reasoning given why
>attempts to create arguments over virtually nothing (eg opinions without facts)
>"spam questions" that are easily answered via a 1 second glance at the guide
>uses obtuse Japanese fragments interspersed with English to attempt bypass people trying to filter the shitposts
>any mention of anime being shit, or "real Japanese"
>spells the word as romanji
It's pretty easy to tell at this point.
For newcomers, if in doubt, use the guide's advice as a fallback if you're genuinely not sure if it's "shitpost advice" or not.
It's in bright red in the OP image AND the OP text says "Read the guide before asking questions" so there is zero excuse for this spam.
>>141465710
Everyone that isn't a complete newfag would spot these shitposters by the way they type alone.
>>141465710
The guide is shit. You are a retard. Anki is placebo. How do I download anki? You are an アニメ坊主. Anime isn't Japanese. ロマン字.
↑This is all 事実.↑
i downloaded a card now the only thing is review how do i open it an review it?
>>141465016
Mods refuse to moderate these threads for some reason. Unless he starts spamming cp, they won't do anything.
>>141465710
90% of the posts in this thread are shitposts around this time, it's better to just avoid coming here completely for a couple of hours until the autist goes to bed and then the thread becomes usable again
Yesterday I think he fucked off around about 6 UK time, maybe a bit earlier

This is factually incorrect. You can't go very far into the guide in 1 second.

>>141465830
Regulars would know of course.
However, new comers to the thread (and arguably mods who aren't studying Japanese) wouldn't necessarily know. If we don't start calling out the bullshit spam, nothing is going to change - we've been waiting a little while now already.
If we can't rely on mods to actually do their job, we need to make the bullshit more transparent: less people will respond to the spam & more importantly less misinformation will be spread.

>>141466058
Has anyone actually tried getting the mods attention about this? It's kind of ridiculous that it's been going on for so long and results in the thread becoming unusable for half the day every day
>>141466151

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, my best guess is that the mods are ignorant in regards to reading Japanese / this thread's culture.
>>141466195
There have been times in the past when anons did report quite a few of the spam posts, only for the mods to be 100% out of the loop and assume that because the posts have "japanese" in them, they were on topic.
>>141466195
I have. I just report and ignore.

Calling anki a "placebo" is a sure sign too.
Also he samefags an incredible amount, most of the time the replies to his posts are all himself posting back and forth. In the other thread there are 10 posts but only 3 IPs. It's literally all him replying to himself.
>>141466058
This. Anyone new to the thread in the last three months probably has no idea whether the advice they're being given is nonsense or not.
>>141466195
I once messaged them on IRC and they told me to fuck off. I submitted something to feedback too but it's like they've all agreed not to moderate this thread or something.
>>141465710
Are animefag, generalfag and sakurafag the same person? There's also the guy that hated on EOP briefly, calling them out the same way animefag does (i.e randomly) and the kanji is useless guy from a week ago, I guess they're all animefag's different personas?
>>141466275
>>141466331
Fucking retarded mods
If only one of the regulars of this thread had mod status then all the problems would be solved
>>141466335
>Are animefag, generalfag and sakurafag the same person?
Yes.
>>141466335
Some of them overlap. The others are just an imaginary anime concept created by weak minds of this thread.
>>141466417
Or if the thread didn't have protection from rules. Your stupid anime brain didn't think about this one?
>>141466335
At this point, whether it's 1 or 100 spammers, it does not matter.
Shitposts are shitposts, if they are spamming the thread to the point it hampers conversation something needs to be done about it.
Just keep on as usual, try to post useful info & create constructive conversation. Frequently posting USEFUL info would honestly be an improvement at this point - well reasoned and helpful tips will always drown out the low quality, nonsensical misinformation.
Most of all don't knee-jerk react to some "retarded statement" that is blatantly a shitpost.
>>141466331
>I once messaged them on IRC and they told me to fuck off.
Gee, I wonder which mod you ran into.
>>141466525

I want to be more like you... you are so sophisticated.
>>141466704
That would be lovely.
>>141466704
I really don't think it would be that hard to tell when someone's just shitposting even for someone new to the thread, and it's only ever been so common as of recently, so I'm not sure it would stay that relevant in the near future, probably better to just address it when it happens
>>141466704
no objection here

アレた? 荒れる?
>>141466704
We can, but do you think anyone even reads that piece of shit?
Is Jisho fucking up for anyone else? It's been going on for weeks, but I'm about to hit the breaking point. I have to refresh the page multiple times to get it to load, meaning I end up refreshing 5-10 times every time I want to look up ONE word. This is making it excessively tedious to look up words. Any one know what the heck is happening?
>>141466838
>アレた? 荒れる?
No, it's called crazy ジャップ.
>>141466704
It should be on the OP itself, where it's immediately visible.
>>141466854
No problems here
>>141466854
Nah, it works fine.
>>141466910
I was afraid that it was a problem on my end, but fuck if I have any idea why Jisho exclusively has decided to fuck up.

Yes anon, posting images of cute anime girls on Friday afternoon is the pinnacle of sophistication.
>>141466839
Given the amount of suggestions made to it (I wake up every day to something between 2 and 10 emails from google docs), yes, I do believe that people read it.
>>141466854
Maybe some anon is DDOSing it again.
Works fine on my end.
>>141466909
It's been ages since I've made one of these threads, so that'd be up to whoever makes the next thread and the threads after that. Certainly a viable option, but it would be a bit detrimental to the aesthetics of the OP post.
>>141465710
You're not wrong with the way you categorize his shitposting, but a third party would look at this list and go "wow these autists think all the shitposting on /a/ is done by the same guy lmao"

>oh wow its almost like you finally realized its not all me :^)
Yeah whatever
>>141466830
The misinformation and redirection is the most damaging part. If you're a beginner and don't even know the difference between hiragana and katakana for example, most advice will seem plausible. By definition, beginners wouldn't know where to seek out the proper advice, after all.
>>141466989
It happens on multiple browsers. Maybe Jisho just doesn't like my IP or something.
>>141467014
I love 日本文化 especially when all the ジャップ犬 gather and engage in 食糞.
>>141467070
That's super bizarre. Perhaps you have a roommate fucking with you?
>>141467034
I guess, but a question usually gets multiple replies, and if one of them is drastically different from the others surely it would be obvious, especially if someone takes the time to point out that the other is misinformation
>>141467025
I love posting images too. I just don't know how to be so cool about it. -_-
>>141467129
I live with my mother. I can't socialize with people outside of my family.
>>141467133
Except what's been happening is there's one serious reply and then 5 replies from the shitposter stating nonsense. Or there's a number of shitpost replies but no serious one at all.

I feel like I'm really messing up by not doing any production. Even though it's the only way to get better at it, I still have a hard time bringing myself to even post something on Lang-8 since I'm afraid to look like an idiot. Did any of you have a similar fear and got past it?
>>141466854
No problems on my end. Clear your cookies and cache. Maybe try flushing your DNS.
>>141467818
yeah I have such fears too. I'm really afraid of talking to people I'm very antisocial anime probably has something to do with it,

Why would you need to? It can be done easily in Windows. I can't remember exactly how you do it, but you just need to open cmd and type something like "/flushdns".
>>141467818
Yeah I had a pretty hard time motivating myself to post on Lang-8, it's pretty aids thinking of shit to write about, when I finally convinced myself to do it I posted like 4 posts and got bored
I'd say HelloTalk is a much better option, it's a lot easier to think of shit to write since it's just casual one on one conversations, it's also quite the motivational boost since every person that adds you is some cute Japanese highschool girl, this also means the conversations get boring fast though
Try to just force yourself to do it, the sooner you do the sooner you realise how irrational your fears were

My experience with hellotalk was nothing but good. Months after I downloaded the app I finally worked up the courage to use it. a couple of girls added me and even some that talked about video games and anime. It was going so well that I got paranoid, left the app, and never returned. Now I miss it

I'm sorry for telling you to kill yourself a couple times, just come back to us

Mine was good for a while, but I just couldn't be fucked to keep talking to the people on their, conversation just kind of tires me out I guess, especially with normies

Please try to refrain from interacting with that guy
>>141469372
That's probably to make you love life a little more. They can sense that you are a desperate animefag who will probably commit suicide the second they ignore you.
>>141469394
Good idea. This post will be my last interaction with you.
>>141469334
It's not that bad if you use it right. Such as actually taking notes and properly studying the words when the conversation is over.
>>141469451
It's anime. How can it be good?

Anime is shit for learning this 言語.
>>141469548
>implying american tv is better for learning japanese
???
>>141469571
Is that all you managed to learn from anime? Good try and nice image, it helps in learning Japanese a lot.
>>141469585
I don't watch it so I wouldn't know it's probably shit too just a little better than anime but that's not saying a lot. The くそ i made just 5 mins ago is better than anime.
>>141469610
I take back what I said before about it being easy to spot that guys posts, we probably should start including a disclaimer at least in the OP until this all blows over
>>141469670
>until this all blows over
You have no clue how dedicated he is
I hereby declare that all anime material is to be confiscated and burned!
>>141469789
Oh I definitely do, kid's reached a level of autism never before thought possible
But I'm sure he'll get banned or some shit eventually
I'm not too bothered since he sleep during my evenings, and besides even if he stays here forever everyone will eventually just get used to him and ignore him
>>141469872
>But I'm sure he'll get banned or some shit eventually
>implying he hasn't been banned like 20 times already
I hate anime. It is a bad learning tool.

>that guy that tries learning Japanese at community college
>>141470005
Me too.
>>141469779
because anime is for children
>>141470005
I agree mate fuck anime and everything it stands for
>>141469996
Well perhaps he'll get perma banned irl by a bus
>>141470232
Implying he goes outisde lol
>>141470318
Yeah I was just kind of picturing the bus smashing through his window
>>141470358
you should have used "your" here instead of "his" lol plot twist
This thread is shit
>>141466838
>>141466822
Implemented.
I can't stop seeing it.
>>141470885
Thanks for doing your part.

Blame the shitposter who devotes his every waking hour to ruining these threads, and the mods who refuse to moderate them.
Maybe we should appeal to Hiroyuki directly. He might be sympathetic to forcing the mods to actually deal with the shitposters in these threads considering the subject matter of them.
>>141471847
Looks like he's gone to bed now, but yeah if it looks like he's not gunna be fucking off anytime soon that might be a good idea, don't really have any other options
>>141471847
Go for it.
>>141473013
I don't know how. If someone who knows how to get hold of Hiroyuki could say something, it's the only thing I can think of that would help at this point.
>>141471847
why dont you just make good posts in the thread and just "ignore and hide" the "bad" ones eh
just because you have a opinion doesnt mean its right so why do you think anyone is going to police the thread to cater to your preference
maybe reddit or lang8 is actually where you need to be eh m8
>>141473670
Fuck off.
>>141473706
you fuck off with your off topic posting マザーファッカー
hypocrite and a bad poster all rolled in one thats what you are dude
>>141473845
Fuck off.
Something bugs me about onyomi. How did ancient Japanese pick spellings for words? Did the chose from kanji with suitable onyomi the ones that had meanings related to the word or were the words with on-on readings loaned to begin with? The latter would mean that the majority of vocabulary is loanwords.
>>141474199
They just borrowed most of them directly from Chinese, and twisted the pronunciation a bit to fit into the Japanese mouth.
>>141474199
Pretty sure it's explained on this page:
http://www.imabi.net/l5kanjiintro.htm
>>141474199
It's the latter. But it isn't the case that every word that uses onyomi is a loanword. A lot of them were invented later on in Japan.
>>141471847
if you think the great ヒロユキis going to sympathize with pathetic posts like these >>141473706 >>141473874 you got another thing coming ブロ
your posting sucks and as such you got completely rolled over by other posters and now you have no place in the conversation

kanji was actually one of the spoils of the nanking campaign
they were fed up with cute ganas and kanas and wanted to make their writing look more stern and powerful to match their new attitude
>>141474590
Fuck off.
>>141474199
Both of these have happened, though the latter was more typical.
There was also the practice of borrowing just the kanji (along with the on- reading), and combining those to form new expressions in Japanese, after the style of Chinese expressions.
The above actually happens to this day - a lot of scientific and technological terms were coined by the Japanese that way, and some of them were even adopted by the Chinese (or just formed of the same characters by way of coincidence).
>>141474635
fuck on
Do you wanna go for a ride?
>>141474958
Cool guy. Do you think he knows Japanese?
>>141475009
No, but his car is new.
Is gagging when I try to speak after repeating hiragana to myself for six hours a good excuse to take a break?
>>141475581
If you don't want to learn Japanese go ahead and do that.
>>141475581
Go big or go home, anon.
>>141475581
No. You're only allowed to take a break when you pass out from carving kanji into your bones.
>>141475581
Do it for the Fu's.

Why doesn't this site get mentioned here more? It's pretty awesome.
>>141476182
It's a bad place for newbies to start because it's both dense and fucking enormous. Since most people here are beginners it doesn't get mentioned often enough.
>>141476182
The guy behind Imabi talked shit about us on the Wanikani forums once. Since then it's been taboo.
>>141477088
Sauce?
>>141477291
Some guy dug up the thread and took a screenshot of the thread I think last time it was brought up. I don't have it myself though. You can try searching the forums yourself, though I think you need an account to access them.
What does your mining deck look like?

This is the only thing that comes up on Google.

I skimmed over it and it's mostly the other forum members talking shit about 4chan. The worst thing he says is (I assume he is speaking of 4chan as a whole when he says it):
>Now, there are a few individuals that try to bring intellectual discourse or sane arguments, but they tend to be cussed out and what not.
The opening post says nothing bad about 4chan though. He only made that statement in response to someone else's statement. I'm guessing the screenshot you saw was posted out of context.
>>141478425
Literally from that thread, "4chan is a vulgar site that should be put down."
Why the fuck do you care anyway? Are you some kind of shill? DOJG is better than Imabi in every way for most people.
>>141478651
>Literally from that thread, "4chan is a vulgar site that should be put down."
Oh fug. Didn't bother reading the second page. The topic seemed to have transferred over to talking about Tae Kim by the end of the first page so I didn't think there was any point looking at it.
Nevermind then.
