I keep finding myself going through sentences and kind of understanding the gist but not feeling like I actually know what the hell is being said. I've gone through multiple grammar guides but I guess it's just not sticking or something. Anyone else dealt with this?

But typing Japanese does provide benefit, and everyone is just shitposting anyway.
It's not like you get corrected if you go post on /int/ instead or anything. You might get told if your nip is so bad as to be incomprehensible but you'd get told that here too.
>>142038863
In hindsight that was a dumb question. Anyhow, it's frustrating because despite all the shit on grammar I've read I still don't feel like I've got enough of a grasp on it. I've been through two decent length RPGs which of course have a lot of text and I'm currently working through a third. I suppose I've gotten a bit better but when I have such a hard time understanding things aside from fairly basic sentences I feel like an idiot.
>>142038949
I post in Japanese here all the time in hopes of being corrected. Its not like I actually have any nihonjin friends to talk to or anything.

So I am going back to Japan to live for a year working in a lab in Osaka, which is where I lived for a year as an English teacher before med school. I only got to N4, but wanna buckle down and apply my med school autism-tier study tactics to Japanese.
Gonna open up my old Core2k deck and cry at how much I don't remember. Might even *gasp* get WaniKani again because i like it.
But for grammar has anyone used nihongo so-matome? I think I am gonna try it as I've heard lots of good things about it for moving beyond Tae Kim etc.
How do you guys keep up/stay fresh with your Japanese. I've gone two years without needing it/using it and watching the occasional anime or reading the occasional facebook post does not at all keep it fresh for me. Worried about losing it all again when I come back again

That's actually the majority of anki users ITT.

I know it's a long shot, but is there any translated resource that explains the etymology of most kanji, or kanji as a whole? Wiktionary has info on some of them but not all. I ask because I've always been naturally drawn to the topic in english, and I feel like knowing what the fuck the japs were thinking when they created/combined some kanji would help me learn a lot more than rote memorization.
>>142041402
>*gasp*
Don't do this.
>get WaniKani
Definitely don't do this.
> for grammar
Just read.
>Worried about losing it all again
This only happens if you stop studying. If you're only studying because you're in Osaka and don't care about learning Japanese apart from when you're there, then you probably will stop studying.
What are some good grammar books in Japanese? I feel like I might be able to grasp certain concepts better in the language itself rather than having English in between.
Why didn't they just create 5 extra characters for the "p" sounds? It gives me fucking eyestrain trying to tell whether I'm looking at 濁点 or 半濁点 in small fonts (e.g. in furigana).

it's not hard to look up words in a dictionary if you already can read Japanese since you know how to get by finding the desired worda through other kanji and similar readings.
most of the paragraphs seem from encyclopedias or newspapers and are just describing things in the typical Japanese neutral written style with Kanji rather than kun readings which makes it easier to comprehend but rather hard to read for foreigners without 100% Kanji knowledge

>>142044072
Kanji make it easier to read for foreigners. Ever happened to read Japanese books for grammar school children with about 0 Kanji and everything in Hiragana? If you are not a native, Kanji tell you where words and and give you a meaning, even if you cannot read it

the guy he replied to clearly had zero idea what he was talking about yet stated several extremely misleading things with total confidence
that's a pretty textbook example of "blind leading the blind"
"typical Japanese neutral style" is just baffling and not a phrase that means anything to anyone
"Kanji rather than kun readings"
this just fundamentally doesn't make sense at all
everything in Japanese that isn't for kids or learners is written with kanji and on top of that no one would refer to hiragana spellings of words or to kanji w/ furigana as "using kun readings"
>>142044320
I am just saying that this written style is easier to comprehend than spoken style. Basically you don't even need to know every Kanji as long as you know enough to comprehend the gist. Most of the statements can be derived from the context of a few words. I could never read every single kanji or string here but I do know what the words mean

>"Kanji rather than kun readings"
jukugo rather than wago
I mean clearly the guy wasn't an English master but you could still figure out what he was saying.
A japanese friend is coming over to live here for two years, she arrives in three weeks and barely speaks spanish. We would be communicating 90% in japanese, so fucking embarrassing my spoken japanese is shit and she must think I speak well because we type on the daily.

>>142045042
>both of those are stretching his language a bit too far
To me it is quite clear that both of those are what he means. They definitely don't make much sense any other way.
Anyway I don't really care about what he was saying I was just asking why >>142042391 was posted in the first place, especially since the poster seems to have an Argumentative Autist type posting style.
>That guilt when shitposting on djt without having done your reps yet
>>142044640
it's not hard to read but hard to comprehend if you only have Hiragana since they don't convey meaning
take this as an example and figure out the meanings:
しょくじたいへんですね。
>>142044820
On point, I managed to mix it up in English but I should rather have sticked to jukugo and wago
Most of you get the concept that there is a written and spoken style Japanese, right? I love Kanji and jukugo but as soon as you enter the spoken realm, you notice that you just cannot speak all day in jukugo since you will not be understood if you try to avoid wago as much as possible
>>142045136
If you're bent on studying kanji then just do a radical deck followed by a sizeable kanji deck on Anki, having both recall and recognition cards is a good way to make sure you remember them but it does eat up your time pretty hard
Wanikani is garbage because it costs money and sticks you with an inflexible learning plan

It's really not, it requires about the same amount of information as "comprehending" words based on memorized kanji meanings. You just need to know the context so you have some sort of vocab bank to draw from, based on what you've been exposed to in the past.
Lets try some hard kanji words, all taken from 新世界より, spoken aloud in the show

Spaces are cheating. Unless they were already there originally, in which case you just proved his point by demonstrating that kana only texts are so annoying/ambiguous that they had to find a way to break them up.
>>142045817
this is just a children's story and the spaces and punctuation were in the same place originally. of course they are ambiguous and that's my point here. It is easier to work with simple Japanese with kanji, even if you have to look them up and learn them than trying to read hiragana only texts for Japanese children. Japanese children have the advantage of having at least the spoken language already learned whereas foreigners usually start at 0 and therefore should advance in spoken and written language at the same time.
>>142045742
don't ask me, I use jisho to look up just about everything anyway since my vocabulary is pretty small
this doesn't seem particularly hard though especially with the spaces
if you rely on kanji to comprehend japanese then you're probably a hack
The reason why Japanese use kanji has nothing to do with readability of the text per say. It has to do with connecting modern Japanese literature with older Japanese literature. If Japanese started using a completely different writing system, then all the text written in the past would be lost to new generations. It's to connect Japan's past with its present.
In contrast, this is exactly why Mao Zedong pushed the simplified Chinese characters, not to increase literacy but so hat new generations wouldn't be able to read older texts without learning the traditional characters, thus controlling what the people could and couldn't read.

Do you have a source for this? It seems like the kind of thing he would do, but, well, they did kinda actually increase literacy as well.
>>142045971
Guess what? Even Japanese people do so... Look at this frist sentence from today's Asahi News article on Obama's visit:
オバマ米大統領は２７日夕、現職大統領として初めて被爆地・広島を訪問し、平和記念公園で安倍晋三首相とともに献花する。
18 Kana in total opposed to 33 Kanji if I am not mistaken.... Of course you could write every jukugo in hiragana and then see how difficult it would become to read
>>142045411
Nice tabs. Should've used Internet Explorer for maximum b8ing, tho'
>>142046222
yeah but you read that out loud to a nihonjin and chances are they'll comprehend it
how do you explain that
>>142045971
You should try out rikai.
>>142046392
doesn't work on image scanned LNs, and that's probably for the better since if it did I would probably just forget every new word I came across
I do use it to read DJT shitposts ofc
>>142046337
Pitch and flow help denote the boundaries between words and make words more obvious.
>>142046337
I would love to try but unfortunately my gf is sleeping since it is 6 am over here. I admit that the words are quite comprehensible except for 被爆地 and 献花 since these are quite specific and the latter has the same reading as of fight or quarrel
How did you learn kanji?
>>142046583
I didn't
>>142046583
Reading a lot and looking up what I don't know.
>>142046583
Anki
>>142046511
very skilled observation
>>142046583
get the basic kanji down and progress from 人、火、山、川、村 to the more advanced and abstract ones like 印、刷、禁、煙
except your learn like a robot, chances are you want to use the kanji you learned and feel the progress, so getting down standalone kanji is quite satisfying and even more satisfying when you actually understand things like 火山

my japanese girlfriend helped me learn them after i inquired about her 膣排気音 one night
>>142046910
I've read like half of it in Japanese already, shit's easy.
I finished RTK friends
Now I can start learning Japanese
Is there a way to set my new cards/day in Anki for just one deck instead of all of them?

>>142047338
Nevermind I figured it out
I'm starting the Core 2k deck in Anki but all of them are kanji, and I only know kana. Should I do the radicals deck first and then memorize the vocabulary as kanji instead of kana? I'm not sure how to approach this
Sup DJT
What was the final push for you to seriously start learning moon?
>>142047588
You can't memorize vocabulary as kana, there are way too many words with the same kana spelling, plus kanji make it easier by reminding you what words mean since they each have their own individual meaning
You can try to just memorize what they look like, or you can study a radical and kanji deck first, whatever you think will work best for you
>>142047689
I just randomly decided to learn it with no real good reason
I started watching anime and such after already being learning moon
>>142047689
>watched a japanese cartoon
>started on a whim
>read all of TK on a whim
>did 2 thousand kanji cards in anki on a whim

When faggot ass moogy and herkz sold out like the pieces of shit they were with Subahibi translation. I was never going to be a pathetic EOP relying on others to translate shit for me.
>>142047836
this is bad motivation and fwiw subahibi isnt even that good of a game i think its just overhyped by white ppl
Can anyone tell me the nuance between 喰う and just 食べる？ Apparently 食う is also a thing, but I don't think I've come across it.
>>142047904
you can literally pick this up from anime
Any way to separate parts of speech in Epwing2anki?
>>142047904
食う is essentially Goku-speak. I had never noticed it until I read Dragonball raw.
If you don't use 俺, don't use 食う.
>>142047887
What games are good then?
Please don't say fags irae
>>142048068
>VNs
>good
Are you sure that's possible?
>>142048118
What VNs, LNs, or actual novels that you have actually read rather than just hearing about are actually good?
>>142047904
喰う means to munch, gobble or devour something and is considered not so polite and you should avoid it with not so familiar people
食べる means to eat in a neutral way
召し上がる means to eat or drink in an honorable and very polite way
>>142046138
I think it's more that a lot of words (漢語) were created from kanji rather than the other way round, so the whole language actually makes less sense if you took away kanji. Even when Japanese people speak I believe they are conscious of the kanji in the words they are using.
And when creating new words kanji are the building blocks of that too (although recently katakana is often used for new words as well)
It's kind of like how English spelling isn't purely phonetic, the spelling contains clues of word origin etc. Even though spelling everything phonetically would make more sense in theory, the written language loses a lot of meaning that way.
>>142047702
Thank you, just one more thing. Is it important to know the readings of these radicals, or just what it means? So I'd just need to know that this radical means corpse?
>>142047887
Wrong you fucking pleb.
SubaHibi is kamige even according to nips.
>>142048175
They're just tools to remember made by certain people, they vary between people and aren't necessary at all - Japanese people are hardly even aware of the concept.
If you feel like it's not working for you, drop it. It's not worth worrying so much about, when you'll pick it up through exposure over time anyways.
>>142048217
they are aware of the concept or have you never seen the way Japanese people look up kanji in a dictionary? maybe they don't know the terminology but actually they know what components their kanji are made of
>>142038584
Does anyone have the issue of pic related? The Android screenshot actually looks a lot better than that on the actual device and I can pinch-zoom all the way in and it appears smooth at end three times that size. For whatever reason shit looks aliased on Windows whereas the exact same font and font size is rendered far nicer to look at. To the point that I've more or less switched to using the Android device entirely for reps, but it is a fair bit slower overall and would rather limit it to using while in bed or on the shitter.
Tried going through the display settings and calibrating smooth font thingo for font rendering that it has and I've tried disabling it. Both end up looking the same.
Last time I asked the redditors over at /g/ they started sperging over the fact that I wasn't using a meme OS and that my Android device wasn't whatever current overpriced model which was being mass advertised on the board at the time, which I'm pretty sure was a Windows tablet with keyboard set up, ironically. So they were pretty fucking useless.
>>142048315
Windows is basically a piece of shit when it comes to fonts and always has been.

>>142047904
originally, 食う or 喰う was the word for "to eat", but afterwards those words had turned into a little rough language as the time comes closer to today.
>>142048217
>Japanese people are hardly even aware of the concept.
Kids learn about 部首 in school, the fuck are you talking about?
>tfw can't be arsed to read anything after doing 2-3 hours of anki every day
Oh well, at least I'm watching subbed anime.
225 on the JCAT.
Will I be able to pass N2 after grinding the vocab list and DOJG over the summer?
>>142048367
i hear the term "westaboo" a lot around here
>>142048394
Why would you do anything else all I do these days is watch anime and I'm like level N1 times two by now
>>142048315
This is from Anki's website
The toolkit Anki is built on does not currently support high resolution displays, which may result in text looking a little blurry. It's possible to make the text crisper, but it will result in the buttons and text in the interface becoming smaller. If you'd like to make that trade-off, you can right click on the Anki icon, and in the properties, compatibility section, disable "display scaling on high DPI".
>>142048068
mentioning dies irae seems pretty par for the course after name dropping moogy etc lol
theres no point firing off what i like because most of it is not only shit but also theyre games that are fun as opposed to trying super hard to be complex and deep or whatever lol
kusarihime is really good though prolly the only kinda game in that category i actually liked
but for example greengreen and kirakira is stuff i do like and maybe some memories off when im feeling more serious than usual
>>142048216
which 1 of those is subahibi i cant read japanese xd
>>142048352

>>142048482
thats the joke
>>142048475
No shit I just said I was like twice N1. N1 would be an insult to my ability. I'm 日本 and nothing you can say will change that
>>142048386
They're aware of what the main radical is, used to find it in a dictionary, but on the whole, they don't come up with tricks to remember what each one means in order to come up with tricks to remember what kanji mean, neither do they memorize the various readings.
My 3dpd jap was shocked that I looked up kanji by any radical I recognized on jisho, rather than the main one. The whole concept was foreign to her.
>>142048522
Well, I'm the nippon emperor mikado sama, thank you very much.

Sure it's not just because it's lower res?
I don't have this issue at all onWindows 10
>>142048434
My bad, I failed to mention that I had already done this. The fonts look the same outside of Anki as well as inside of Anki.
