Wow, listening to namasensei's lessons really gets me in the mood to do my daily work, I'm so glad his videos are back.You bitch.

>>141993101
Huh, that's good to know., I was actually debating whether to use 無 or not. only started learning a couple months ago so I'm still a dekinai.
>>141994382
If only he had thousands of videos covering material from all levels of the JLPT
>>141994382
It really is a shame that he stopped making Japanese lessons, they always made sense for some reason. He actually managed to make Japanese simple.Why did he quit making videos?
>>141994543
I know that he got fired from his teaching job in Japan, not sure what happened after that though, seems like he's been through a lot of shit

Well it's just convenient isn't it, I just used that to express that I wish he had videos that covered a wide range of shit about Japanese
If えい is supposed to be pronounced as a prolonged え why is the i audible sometimes, like in the word セイフク? Is it because it's written in katakana and was originally a foreign word? I'm pretty sure that I've heard the same from words that are written in hiragana or kanji and aren't foreign too.
>>141995087
Sorry I missed one
>Trying to learn from videos that aren't native material
>>141995033
>>141994751
Related question. Are there any two-kanji words that have the same meaning when you switch the order of the kanji? Or are used interchangeably, at least. I vaguely recall encountering one once early on in my studies, but it seems somewhat impossible in retrospect.
>>141995098
制服 is not foreign wtf
it's pretty much a gamble whether or not the い is distinct after an -e mora though, just listen to the word being spoken
>>141995231
I can think of plenty of trivial examples
>>141995098
>えい is supposed to be pronounced as a prolonged え
What?
>>141995231
誕生 and 生誕 are an example I have at the top of my head of that kind of thing.

切腹
腹切
>>141994594
What's the story there?
anyone here read medaka box? Everyone said nisio writing being hard was just a meme, but I swear this is way more difficult to understand/has way more kanji I don't know than other shounen manga. For reference I just read through koe no katachi in a little under a week and felt pretty comfortable, needed to look up maybe a word per page on average.
>>141995399
Some kid's mom saw one of his vids.
>>141995231
The 切腹 腹切 that someone else posted is a good example, but most of the ones that are identical in meaning and pronunciation tend to be extremely obscure.
A hint to reading them, though: when the char implying action comes first, it's an on'yomi, last, a kun'yomi. The different SVO and SOV structures of Chinese and Japanese respectively are helpful here and quite useful for reading new and unknown compounds.
>>141995563
I haven't seen any of his stuff. Is it the kind of thing to give some mother the vapours?

It wasn't even hard to read, just fucking slow
>>141995673
Why even bother learning Japanese if you're fine with the English translated garbage
>>141995673
That'll wear off once you get more comfortable reading. It helps if you force yourself not to switch over.
Why's it gotta be so impossible to find japanese ISOs for my favorite PS2 games?

Why is this allowed?

Try to find obscure things that you like but where the English tl falls behind.
>>141995848
I guess I should stop reading manga above my level now since I'm learning Japanese.
ビッグ ディックス イン マイ 尻
>>141996100
Yeah, pretty much.
>>141995980
>>141996269
I'm not actually sure about what they mean with the (En,Ja) ones, I know when you beat the game in the PAL version at least you could select japanese voice overs, but I can't remember if that was japanese text also, and I don't really feel like playing again in english just to play in japanese.
I didn't know Vol 3 and 4 were up, though. Only 1 showed up for me earlier.
They're still missing one. And no Dark Cloud. As well as a bunch of other PS2 games. Earlier systems seem to have plenty of japanese roms available. I've tried searching in japanese as well.
>>141995980
Emuparadise.me
You're welcome.
>>141995551
I only read it in English, but towards the end (sometime 100+ chapters in) there are a literal shitton of word plays. Like, switching kanji and breaking the fourth wall is the topic of an entire arc if not more iirc. I imagine that to get pretty difficult, although I regret not going through it in Japanese.
>>141996409
Well, shut my mouth, they don't have it...
>>141996495
Yeah, they're fantastic for earlier systems, but finding japanese roms of PS2 games that have english localizations can be a lot more difficult.
>>141996531
There is a Chinese site with almost all NTSC-J ISOs in existence.
>>141996685
What is it? I came across a few in search results but I don't know chinese so I couldn't tell! They also required registration and I didn't want to waste time signing up for a bunch of things that might just be fake/expired results
>>141996531
I did some quick Googling and it looks like there may be some legit links if you search for "dark cloud jpn iso". On an iPad right now, so I cannot confirm.
>>141996749
>so I couldn't tell!
Woah calm down

Ohh, thanks for the tip. I tried NTSC-J and J but totally forgot to try jpn.

>>141996891
It's very true that every game that gets translated is garbage
>>141996755
>file not found
Shit. That's what happens when it's blogs with filehosters instead of dedicated rom sites that host their own uploads.

Sorry, mate. I could probably buy it for about 200円 at the Geo down the street, but it would cost ten times that much to ship.
>>141997070
Ahhh, oh well. There's plenty of untranslated games to play anyway. I'm just surprised that they don't really seem to have any dedicated rom websites of their own.
>>141995551
Nothing there is hard
The things that might at first seem obscure (全国模試,偏差値) are things that are extremely relevant to japanese students
>>141997070
Ripping and uploading it would be a fairly simple alternative. Same as a dvd I think.
I have read the guide, but what is, in your opinion, the best way to learn hiragana's kana?

Do Remember The Kana, and struggle through reading every kana you see. Even if you dekinai for a week or a month or two or what the fuck ever, just keep reading them kanas. The sfx in hentai manga, weabboo shitposts, etc. Also realkana after RTk.

Literally every class you take for the first year/year and a half of Japanese will call te-form the "command" form.
It's an easier concept to grasp than "connective form with a shitload of additional grammar."
teiru might get covered in an elementary Japanese class, but actual te auxiliaries are left until intermediate level.

Complicated a feeling so.
>>142000871
I think it's actually supposed to be とどめる, tbqh.
>>142001107
Kanji isn't a phonetic script so the pronunciation of the characters changes depending on the word they're being used in. Most kanji have at least 2 possible readings (pronunciations), and some can have considerably more than that.
Because the kanji and okurigana are identical in 止める (とめる) and 止める (やめる), and 辛い (からい) and 辛い (つらい), the only way you can tell which reading (pronunciation) is intended is by seeing the words used in context.
How do I set up Anki to mine words from visual novels? It's probably in the guide, but I can't find it and I'm really eager to play Higurashi and mine the shit out of it.

It doesn't work on Windows or Macs, you have to install an operational system called Gentoo, then your Anki will have mining as a setting

Alright, for various reasons that I won't get into (suffice it to say I have to do about an hour and a half of working out each day), I don't have much time in my day for studying. I've gotten to about 800 kanji learned and am working my way through Tae Kim. Assuming I'm still at 800 kanji when I finish Tae Kim (obviously, I won't be), would this be enough for me to start reading my creepy visual novel porn games? I'm extremely eager to start reading stuff I'm actually interested in, but studying is a slog when I think about how I could be playing porn games instead.
>>142001732

>>142001732
What you need to be able to read is a good sense of grammar first and foremost and then an ability to recognize words or at least familiar kanji pronunciations so you can look them up on jisho quickly (and remember them; if your memory sucks don't bother reading before doing core2k).
Drawing them into google translate is a good fallback for when you run into a new word with kanji you don't know how to read.
A good grasp of simple grammar is the most important thing you can get, but it comes from exposure and not from Tae Kim. He does provide a good foundation for it though.
>>142001959

This is going to sound fucking stupid but it's worth a try.
Does anyone know where I could find grammatically complex and difficult japanese paragraphs/sentences/articles that have been picked apart and have each part of the sentence explained?
It's very easy finding something like that for simpler grammar, but when it comes to more complicated grammar I haven't had much luck finding them in use together.

I've found my brain tends to fry if I do too much Anki and I tend to forget new kanji faster than I can commit them to memory, leading to a feedback loop that will inevitably end with me having to review all 2k cards each day. My fear is that I'll get so bogged down in the studying that I'll never reap the rewards of pornographic anime games.
>>142001841
I would fully expect it to be slow, but it'd be replacing my general gaming time, so I'd have plenty of time. Just can't spend too much time studying because my brain will fry and I'll fuck up on my Ankis and have unwieldy review times.
>>142001860
I'm not good at looking things up with one hand.
>>142002030
As has been said, I can use a text hooker. I like to think I have a decent memory, but considering how slow-going my Anki studying is, I'm not so sure. Maybe Anki is just too repetitive and not fun for me. That said, how can I get a good sense of grammar? I figured going to visual novels instead of manga/light novels after Tae Kim would be optimal (horizontal text, able to use a text hooker to look things up, VOs to go with the reading), but is there something more I need?
>>142002260
New to all this, but doesn't the /djt/ guide say that Tae Kim's 'advanced' grammar is actually still pretty basic?
Is that true?
>>142002450
It still covers basic grammar, that makes it defacto basic.
>>142000871
Holy shit I knew it!
Fuck I hate it when that shit happens, you think "what the fuck is wrong I know it's pronounced やめる" and you think you are stupid and then you find out you weren't so stupid and it's actually both correct.
Same shit if you learn a kanji that has a similar meaning in every word and then it goes full retard and means something completely different in another word.
I fucking hate Japanese, but I also love it and this shit won't stop me.
>>142002450
All real grammar is basic
>>142001181
You didn't get either of them right if you didn't realize that they can mean multiple things ;)
>>142002369
Horizontal text and text hookers aren't as easy as furigana with simple words and easy grammar in beginner manga. Just reading a few of those will cement the basics of grammar and vocab. If you have absolutely no interest in manga though, do whatever will motivate you best.
Fuck literally every other show has hard subs these days
>>142002549
Well, I don't mean to say I have no interest in manga. My end game is light novels, but it's easier for me to replace my game time with pornographic games than non-pornographic reading material. That said, I'll be sure to check out some of the beginner level manga in the DJT guide. Thanks for the help, anon.

How many new cards are you doing per day? Are you doing them EVERY day? Are you doing Core and not some kanji-only deck?

yes

Why don't you replace game time with VNs with gameplay, like Eushully or Alicesoft games, Baldr Sky and so on?
>>142002549
Really? I actually found the "correct" sentences and easy-lookup with rikai to be easier to read as a beginner compared to manga which usually has many more truncated phrases and pieces of slang.
Tell me that I'm a useless piece of shit that will never be able to learn Japanese.
It kinda motivates me.

>>142002369
A text hooker works fine for VNs and such. I find OCR to be hot garbage though, so recognizing kanji and gleaning words from context is still a good skill for reading mangaor physical media.
Vertical text is a non-obstacle by the way.
I think a couple months of watching anime with subtitles as training wheels made a significant difference in my ability to understand simple grammar, like what you will probably find in manga and VNs. Basically, exposure is number 1 and it helps if you have a lot of context like voice and visuals to go with it. I haven't read any VNs but they're probably not bad in that department, so they should also serve as good practice as long as you have a way to make sure your interpretations of everything are correct.
>>142002981
>as you have a way to make sure your interpretations of everything are correct
Wrong, you just have to make sure they eventually become correct, but you'd have to be brain dead to misinterpret most things after the 20th time you see them

He doesn't cover anything you can begin to call advanced. He does cover enough stuff to give you a foundation for the rest, though. You can get everything else from DOJG, imabi, and searching on alc.co.jp
>>142002833
Learn Kanji through Core. Go back to RTK only if you have trouble with the kanji.
>>142003143
He covers some things that are rare, although not many. What do you call advanced if you don't just mean rare? Is your definition of "advanced" tautological? As in "It's advanced because it took me a while to see it because it wasn't in Tae Kim"
>>142003032
If you don't have that much interest in the material you're using for practice then sure. Eventually might be a pretty long time though.
I just have a reflex to try and fully understand every set phrase or unknown piece of grammar I come across.
>>142002972
5 cards wow that's uhh, little. How many reviews do you get on average per day?
>my reviews were suffering pretty badly and I was getting in the habit of remembering that I could never remember certain cards rather than actually remembering what they meant
Were you making sure to hit the Again button if there was something you didn't remember about the card? Or were you just hitting Hard?
>>142002450
Keep in mind that a perfect score on N1 nets you "Intermediate" status here in DJT.
>>142002450
Please dont divide grammar into artificial categories like "basic, advanced, inter"; the point is all grammar may appear at any time.
That being said some of the advanced topics only appear in formal writing, but ive seen some of them in my mongolian horse paintings often too.
Just man up and fucking remember them all. Dont focus on this bullshit about skill level just keep reading.
>>142002369
>how can I get a good sense of grammar?
Watch anime. Lots of it
>>142003321
That's pretty much realistic though. JLPT doesn't even test conversational or writing ability, the whole exam is a joke.
>>142003280
The thing is that making a guess doesn't mean you don't understand it. If you guess right, then it means you do understand it.
In a sense, you're making a guess every time you interpret a sentence. It's just a question of at what level do you lose confidence in your guess. And, the majority of mistakes (as in, things you don't understand but THINK you do, not just thinks you don't understand) will not impact your interpretation of the story, because either the line wasn't all that important or it will be obvious in 2 more lines when the conversation doesn't makes sense any more.
>>142003463
again fuck off with this level nonsense it does nothing but detract from learning
get back to your reps and reading
>>142003313
About 80 reviews. I hit again if there's anything I don't remember about a card.
>>142003453
Already do, my n word.
>>142003506
>Already do
Obviously not enough
>>142001732
>creepy
fuck off
Found it. And I'm not reading Flyable Heart ',:^)
>>142003552
Well, yeah. I have other shit I have to do, I can only delegate so much time. It's not like I've only been watching anime for a couple years either, I've been watching since 2005 or so, but I don't have much free time anymore.
>>142003419
they're really euphemisms for "ubiquitous", "common", and "uncommon".
>>142003463
yeah, if you're not native level in all respects, you're intermediate. sasuga djt

What are the mistakes?
>>142003750
They're all lit up nicely for you.
>>142003798
I still don't get it though.
>>142003825
It's using kanji with the same reading but different meaning
>>142003463
Well, it was designed by japs, of course it's a joke.
>>142003872
Not quite since the middle is just the wrong radical for the right kanji
And the right one is partially covered up by subtitles
>>142003872
好き
買い
味方
>>142003750
From left to right
- 見方 should be 味方 (mikata - an ally)
- The lower "box" in 買う should have two horizontal lines, not one (eye radical, not day radical)
- You subs are covering it up but i think it's the wrong kanji and should say 好き instead of 奴き
>>142003484
Yeah that makes sense. The point at which I lose confidence in my guesses completely and the narrative gets unclear is when I go and try to find out if there's some piece I'm missing.
It seems to be a problem of interpreting the context of a sentence rather than its grammar or vocab for the most part.
Does stroke order really matter or not as long as we can write the Kanji?
>>142004209
only a little so you're not mentally retarded
>>142004102
Oh yeah I'm never advocating for people to just makes stuff up, just that if you think you understand it you shouldn't feel the need to be told you understood it for every thing you come across. Everyone's gonna make mistakes anyway so the few that get through aren't a huge deal.
>>142004209
if you write a kanji in the wrong stroke order before the eyes of a man who knows the correct order then you are pretty much forced to commit suicide by tradition (imo)
>>142004209
you write faster and pick up new words faster if you know the right stroke order
What music do you listen to while you do your reps?
>>142004209
As long as it looks right it doesn't matter. The only time it would matter is if you are writing calligraphy
>>142004209
Pick your favorite five kanji (caveat: must be at least 6 strokes)
write them five times every day for three days
Congrats, now you understand stroke order
>>142003506
I'm not too experienced in this but sounds like a case of 出来ない. Pretty sure everyone does 15+ new cards a day and gets at least 100-something reviews.
You must be doing something wrong (like procrastinating during Anki way too much or not doing it at an appropriate time), or have the memory of a goldfish.
I don't know how you're gonna remember words from picking them up from a game if you can't do it from Anki.
BTW last question, how long does it take you to do Anki each day?
>>142004462
I would but I like the audio.
>>142003679
>I've been watching since 2005
>still struggling with grammar
I learnt Japanese from anime in 5 years
Anyone knows what "したげよっか" means? It seems like some kind of asking for consent or whatever but I can't find anything confirming it nor can I google an example of it being used in a way I'd be able to understand.

About 20 minutes. I'll bump up my new cards limit and see if I can do better now that I've started to get a better idea of how it works.
>>142004723
Alright. Was expecting for it to be more time but it's definitely too short.
>>142004209
Just learn the stroke order for the individual radicals of all kanji which are like 200
Then follow the general guidelines of top-down left-right
Anything more than that is autism.

>caring about writing
>>142004462
Why would you do that? It's just distracting.
I like to say the answer to the card out-loud so music would get in the way of that too.
>>142005371
music is a good way to make tasks you find tedious more bearable
>>142005401
its distracting and shows you have no self discipline
>>142005586
it's distracting but I like listening to it anyway, it's a deliberate choice
besides with my tremendous self discipline I have finished literally all of my reps and now no longer need to utilize anki
>>142005586
But I really don't have self discipline, and that doesn't matter as long as I do my reps.
When I try to play a game in japanese I always seem to end up either reading very carefully and trying tl learn every word I don't know and end up taking a lot or skip the text because I want to play. Do you guys have any game suggestions? The only games that come to mind and didn't have this problema are pokemon.
I've been trying to hook ITH to VNs for over an hour now and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It just doesn't show any text at all.
I'm using this guide ( http://pastebin.com/raw/yhDP2CwF ) and I can't get past step 6.
