How do you guys handle new cards in anki?
I have them all at the end of the reviews, and press "easy" on all new cards twice to push them instantly to 4 days interval.
Reminder to press good on your failed reviews. It'll make your progress through the deck more efficient.

>I didn't even set the hotkeys, it's already there by default, I think you can see them when you hover over the buttons
Yeah, those are all default keyboard shortcuts. As far as I know (old version) you can't change them or add additional shortcut keys to those functions.
I use autohotkey to mirror those shortcuts to my mouse. So most of the time I'm just using the scroll wheel on the mouse (down for space bar (show answer/good), up for 1 (again) and clicking it for R (repeat audio)).

What a disgusting "person"
I was skimming through some old folders and came across this image which I saved from 99chan in 2011. I had totally forgotten about it and never actually got round to using it, but to my surprise it contains all the resources which are typically recommended in these threads.
It lists a bunch of other resources too that I've never seen mentioned here though. Has anyone here used them? Are they any good?
Can you guys recommend anything in Japanese with lots of techno-babble?
Something like MGS:

>college taught ふ etc to be pronounced like "hu" instead of "fu".
This has fucked me up so many times. Why would you teach like this if its not correct?
>>142201414
it's both
just like し is both shi and si
and つ is both tsu and tu
>>142201440
Then how do you know which?
>>142201477

it's a matter of being both

>づ and ぢ are pronounced differently from ず and じ
>ん is articulated at the same point as the following consonant, or is velar at the end of an utterance
I bet none of you even pronounce the vowels properly
>>142201477
stop thinking in romaji
ふ is ふ , which is something between fu and hu. Neither of those sounds actually exists in japanese.
Just like the whole R / L thing
>>142201506
So you can pronounce france like hu-ran-su and it is acceptable?
>>142201477
How do you know whether to pronounce i like in sing or like in ripe?
EOPs I swear
>>142201019
>what the fuck
elaborate
>>142201566
I can't read romaji
>>142201566
yes as long as you pronounce the "u" in "hu" correctly so that it influences the h
in english, the h has undefined location. notice how "hah" and "he" put more turbulence in different parts of the mouth
the japanese "u" is pronounced closer to the center of the mouth than the english "u", both the tongue part and the lips part
this makes it push the "h" in "hu" into a location that is close to, but not identical to, the english "f" sound
loanwords with "fa" and "fi" sequences can be pronounced with h, though it is increasingly considered incorrect to do so. meanwhile, "hu"/"fu" merely has to be between "h" and "f".
>>142201642
You should do Heisig's RTR (remembering the romanji)

http://forvo.com/word/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9/#ja

>>142201414
It's actually a sound half-way between hu and fu, though in some words it can lean closer to one sound than the other.
Before you get butthurt over that one little ambiguity, imagine how shitty it is for Japs learning English with all the fucked up spelling we have in this language.
>>142202135
>imagine how shitty it is for Japs learning English with all the fucked up spelling we have in this language.

So I have been out of the loop for a long time, I've just been reading + anki and listening via watching show.
What happened with 10,000 sentences and what the fuck is MCD? Is it the new learn Japanese in quick fad or is it legit? Where are the anki decks? Also does anyone have the old 10,000 sentence deck?

How many people actually became fluent thanks to this general? I feel like then number is probably extremely low.
>>142202287
>What happened with 10,000 sentences
Do you mean Core10k?
>and what the fuck is MCD?
Never heard it before
>>142202252
well there's five different possible consonant sounds in this class of sounds
z, j, d, dz, dj
i'd say 1 is probably "everything is z"
>>142202328
If you keep up your reps, you will eventually become fluent.
>>142202328
A number far beyond any human reckoning.

>>142201862
There's also 米ソ
>>142202187
Worth bearing in mind that chart is about old people.
And modern spelling reform mostly swapped づ for ず and ぢ for じ (and the exceptions were because of just logical spelling relationship to つ and ち), so it doesn't even make sense to use standard spelling as though the difference were preserved there.
There was an image with a list of manga / vn to read in order from basic to advanced floating around awhile ago, does anyone have that?

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/613684242
you're welcomeI take no responsibility if your true retention is even lower
>>142202328
People stop frequenting this general once they can read most of the things they want to read. At that point /djt/ simply doesn't have anything to offer you that you couldn't get on other more fitting communities, like Japanaese media recommendations and what not.
While I don't know about fluent I do think a lot of people reached a rather solid level in Japanese thanks to /djt/.
>>142202671
>I take no responsibility if your true retention is even lower
Is that even possible mathematically?
>>142202328
I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I can read the things I want to read without too much trouble.
But like >>142202405 said, only thing the general really did for me was link me to Anki and KD. I enjoy (sort of) popping in here every now and again, though.
>>142202741
mathematically? yes

>>142202796
Ahh, autismal arguments over the correct usage of Anki. My favorite part of DJT.
>>142202791
So if you fail all normal reviews, but pass all relearn steps, your true retention would be 0, while regular Anki would show 50% or more, depending on the number of relearn steps?
>mfw run into paragraph with a bunch of words from the last core rep
萌えゲー aren't half bad for starting materials
>>142202891
yes
>>142202891
>>142202919
also another factor is new cards, which will also denormalize anki's correct %, but true retention entirely ignores
>愛
>If you really love someone, you won´t keep them in a cage-like bird house relationship, but rather open the door and let their heart walk around freely. Think less about "I" (あい) and more about "we".

Basically everything there (with the exception of the Kodansha books) has been talked about here at some point. I know I myself am a big fan of JTMW. Overall that's a pretty damn good image, especially for the time - I don't think there's much reason to have a physical kanji dictionary anymore, and textbook-style learning clashes with the DJT philosophy, but otherwise it's got some good info.
One such piece of info being the mentioning of Kenkyusha. If an anon is reading this and doesn't have it, pls go download it and install it for Rikaisama, it covers fewer terms but usually has better definitions than EDICT. You can just switch back and forth between them by pressing P.

I don't know what I'm talking about either but the で probably just implies the one who released the picture is from/of the men fighting the Syrian government. Or Maybe it means the video was released by "the mean fighting the Syrian government", so them as a whole being the subject.
And I think it's not a video of Yasua, but by/from Yasuda. Then the last line seems more like "He entrusted the release of the picture to other men"

How to learn Japanese correctly:
1. Learn Spanish so pronunciation is easy.
2. Learn Korean so grammar is easy.
3. Learn Chinese so kanji are easy.
4. Learn Japanese.
>>142204252
>>142209418
Korean grammar's similar to Japanese grammar?
>>142208129
the subs don't seem to sync up at all for this show
>>142209533
None of them do, and what's worse, a lot of lines are just randomly missing. They're a waste of time.
>>142209418
any method that involves learning one of those three stinking gutter languages is not the right method to follow if you want to do anything correctly
let alone learn japanese
>>142209418
Japanese grammar is the easiest in the world. Korean sounds like shit (reason why k-pop is unbearable) and chinese looks like shit (all ideograms from start to end!).
If you want all the shitty latin grammar with the declinations for the nouns, pronouns, adjectives, plus the gender related shit... yes, come on learn spanish (or french. Or italian). Be my guest.
So you start with japanese. And you stop there because all the rest is a fucking pain.
>>142209523
Certainly not. Dropped after one week because it was hell compared to japanese.
>>142209685
>chinese looks like shit (all ideograms from start to end!).

Thing with english is it's more mix 'n match, you have like 4 forms of the actual verbs (play, plays, played, playing, and I think that's it) and the rest is done with auxiliary things like did, have, will, etc.
Spanish barely has any of the auxiliary things and instead has a fucking million forms for each verb, and add to that irregular verbs which you have to memorize.
Japanese conjugates in a similar way to spanish, but there's only a couple conjugations for each verb (as opposed to Spanish) and there's only like 12 irregular verbs.
I learned a new word in Japanese today!

This. I actually met one jap girl who was not a normie. But then I told her I loved her, and she freaked out. fuck.
You may think im a disgusting lonely loser, but, what can I say, I get really lonely just sitting in my room doing hobbies.

Off yourself, mate.

Why the fuck did you do that? You should've known that nothing good comes out of confessing to random girls you barely know.
>>142210757
Why did you tell her you love her oh my God.
Anyway, you sound cute.

Tell us more.

Why not watch it instead
I just started rewatching it raw with subs, shit's max comfy
I have taken 2 semesters of Japanese. I know hiragana / katakana and maybe 50 kanji and basic sentence structure. Is there a VN or something on my level?

This post is 100% bait.

On second thought let's not swap

Why would it be? I read the OP with recommendations, but I was asking for advice. Fuck off if you don't want to be helpful.

>why did you tell her
I was a retard at the time. One of the first girls I liked because she wasn't a norm You get a load of undeserved confidence when you are online. I just went for it. I did like her. She was an artist, and im the guy who keeps spamming about wanting to marry a japanese art girl.
Anyway, Im a highschooler. I still love doing my hobbies. I just hope I dont fuck everything up when i'm in college, and miss out being with a qt otaku girl.
I asked a girl out in my grade early this year. We almost did, I would just have to meet up with her in school again to plan it. So I didn't stood her up. But I didn't do it Even though she watched anime, I didn't actually like her. I wanted to be with an art girl, someone I like.
So I asked her out, got a huge rush of happy chemicals, but then I blew it off. Just so I can do my neet hobbies, which I love. But now all im doing is hugging my pillow in my bed, thinking about being with a girl.

I don't know how you can relate french people to anything gay. Aren't you mistaking them for their neighbours, on that tiny island?
>>142211218
Honestly, he's so normie he actually asked a girl out and got told yes (not to mention he's going to college) and yet he's pretending to be a NEET loser for 4chan cred.
>>142211152
Dude if the bait evolved to a level where kanji isn't written as kanjis anymore we'd be fucked, nowhere would be safe
>>142211071
Do you know how to set up a text hooker? You'll need one.
Hanahira is a terrible VN but the most commonly recommended one for beginners because of its simple sentence structure and easy kanji.
I'd also recommend Yotsubato with the Yotsubato reading packs, which include Anki decks. You can find all these resources in the guide and/or Cornucopia of Resources.

That jelly is quite delicious, thank you for the treat.
>>142211042
I read and mine the episodes first, then watch them after I've reviewed the new cards at least once.
I will admit it's sometimes hard to figure out what is happening from the text alone, but it's a nice feeling when you realize you either guessed right or it wouldn't have made sense without the pictures in the first place.

It shows.

No, but I can look into it. I've played Japanese games on my computer before just fine, why would I need to fuck with the text?
>>142211185
Maybe you'll be able to actually function around females once your balls have dropped.
>>142211367
so that you can quickly get the definition and readings for words you can't read
>>142211407
Oh, I didn't know something like that existed. I'll look into it, shouldn't be too hard. Thanks.
>>142211308
>Hanahira is a terrible VN
That's sad to hear. I was going to play that soon. I was hoping for something like YuruYuri in vn form.
>>142211367
Because there's no way you learned shit from taking a single year of Japanese in school, you'll need to have the raw text available to make it easy to look up words and grammar structures you don't know.
>>142211367
So you just need to hover over it to get a translation. Don't expect to read a VN without having to lookup a new kanji every 5 sentences any time soon. If you had to copy paste each one individually you'd never get anywhere.
First Google result for texthooker should be all you need. I'll also add this to the spoonfeed because as far as I know an anon from ITT made it and it's great: http://pastebin.com/raw/DgZ84qwk

4chan has been my best friend since 8th grade. Im not fat. I went on a 4 hour walk saturday out of pure boredom. Im deleting the hellotalk account, and getting back to my neet hobbies.
気を付けて
>>142211474
It's fine if you're into moege I guess, but I had absolutely no interest in it aside from learning Japanese and it was ridiculously tedious. Should've read Yotsubato right away.
>>142211478
My college course at UAH taught us hiragana / katakana within the first semester as well as basic Japanese, and kanji + intermediate Japanese by the 2nd. And I have stacks upon stacks of notecards to prove it.
Sorry that whatever program you used sucks.
>>142211561
Do you know what NEET stands for? You're not a NEET unless you drop out of school.
>>142211594
ffs it was bait after all

How the fuck is learning basic Japanese in a year bait? Are you just really fucking slow?
>>142211522
I've already read everything that's been TL'd and watched the show. I'm still pretty new and I think it would be too hard and not compelling enough to reread it all.
>>142211574
I'm not sure if I am, but I suppose I'll find out. Is it at least funny?
>>142211594

so essentially nothing, gj wasting your time with your shitty japanese courses m8

it's ok to stop posting when your act falls apart buddy

>it only took me three decades to learn japanese
>>142211685
If you defend a Japanese college course you're baiting, even if you genuinely believe it.
It's not about being faster than self study, it's about being stupidly slow compared to self study. You can learn Hiragana and Katakana on realkana.com within 5 hours if you try hard and basic grammar within another 10 hours with Tae Kim's guide if you try hard.
>>142211724
Well it's just 2 classes per week, or 2 and a half hours per week. Definitely not wasted, it was a fun departure from the boring classes.
>>142211779
I'm starting to realize this general has some hatred against Japanese courses. Bunch of poorfags?
>>142211779
>mfw i capitalized hiragan and katakana
I'm disappointed in myself
>>142211708
Eh, it's that moeblob kind of funny if you get what I mean.
>>142211805
No one unnecessarily hated on college courses, some anon just said you probably didn't learn shit from it, which is right. As you said it's more like a "fun departure from the boring classes" if anything.
You are the one that went full sperg making fun of others saying their methods are just slow as fuck and that they're jelly.
>>142211779
>it's about being stupidly slow compared to self study
90% of my Japanese course was self study. You just go in there so the teacher makes sure you're on the right track + give written / oral exams, and then cram with notecards and audiobooks when you get home. It's still self study, just structured. And structure is what a lot of people need.
>>142212000
You know that's not what self study means, and you undeniably learned slower doing college classes than if you had actually done self study for a year instead.
>>142211474
You could try Lilycle Rainbow Stage
>>142212108
>and you undeniably learned slower doing college classes than if you had actually done self study for a year instead.
Definitely not true. There's no way I would have stayed up for hours every night crammed over thousands of notecards in anticipation for the next test, or done the 30+ pages of homework due every week. No fucking way I would have done that by myself.
Maybe some people have that kind of self discipline, but definitely not me.
>>142212000
Idk man I for one don't want to shit on other's learning methods since in the end it's impossible to tell which way woulda been best for each individual, but the things you mentioned earlier that you learned so far are pretty basic <1 month stuff.
>>142212167
Sounds like you studied retardedly.
Roughly how many words do you think you know after a year? How many kanji? What quantifiable tests have you passed?
>>142211912
I took six languages in high school, none of them past the second year. Basically used them as study halls that came with an A+.
>>142212167
>thousands of notecards
>know 50 kanji
This is what confuses me
