what if you just follow along with japanese subtitles and english subtitles?
I've been watching at a rate of ~1 and a half hours per episode from reading a japanese transcript, unpausing, listening to what I just read and then pausing again, repeat

Sounds like a chore
Why don't you just stick with reading until you can confortably read Jsubs without pausing and looking dictionaries as much?
>>142228424
because it's really not much different from reading in general and because this is also the kind of content I want to consume right now
another reason is because looking up words is not a problem since I'm parsing through with rikaisama and exporting new vocabulary I encounter to anki
it may sound a little tedious, but I get a little bit of everything this way
I think it's a very balanced way to learn and as I stick with it, it will get much easier and quicker.

Am I the only one who fucking hates Anki? Not because of SRS or reps or anything, but because it's an incredibly poorly put together program?
Literally all it has to do is record a couple of bytes of info and show me some text. And yet, multiple times a day, it'll chug along and freeze every time I hit show answer for 5+ seconds, wasting my fucking time.

The new vocab I continue to come across after all this time amazes me
ichinichi nihonjin ni naritai
I have a stupid question, I hope someone will help my stupid ass to understand.
Okay so ございました is the past, but I'm pretty sure I heard someone saying おはよう ございました or ありがとう ございました
That wouldn't make any sense right?
A hotel employee said something like that in the morning.
I didn't know any Japanese back then, other than what anime taught me at least, so I assumed it was just more polite than ございます I learned that it is actually the past form a day ago.
>>142231144
「煙草」と名付けられた女子を会ったことある。その父が農夫だと思う。
>>142232057
It doesn't seem like it makes much sense in those forms, because they're more or less just set expressions, but if you see what they're based off of it makes more sense
For example ありがとう is from 有り難い, which just means "grateful", so more literally ありがとうございました just means "I was grateful (that you just did whatever for me (and I'm now expressing that gratitude))"
I don't think Japanese past form necessarily has connotations of "the past" either, it just indicates that something has happened, so it might sound weirder if you think of it from a more English idea that it was in the past, rather than the Japanese idea that it's simply been done
>>142231351
>after all this time
if that's new to you I doubt this was very long
>>142232430
Probably at least 2 and a half years of solid reading by now
I'd imagine what words you encounter depends a lot more on what you happen to read rather than the amount of time spent doing so, like I'm sure there are plenty of words you haven't seen that other people happaned to encounter early on
>>142228424
Have to agree with this guy unfortunately
>>142230326
Which Anki are you using?
>it'll chug along and freeze every time I hit show answer for 5+ seconds
That's abnormal.

た isn't past, it's telic,
Is there a version of Tae Kim's guide in full romanji? If it's aimed for beginners it's really retarded that he uses kanas, let alone kanjis. Practically the only people who can use the guide like this are people who quit learning after a few years and learning kanas, and then restarted from zero.
>>142232668
Tae Kim tells you to learn the kana before reading the rest of the guide. Why do you want to do things out of order?
>>142232741
He's shitposting
>>142232532
So why are you amazed?
>>142232741
It makes zero sense to start grinding boring shit for weeks before you're at least intermediate level. Makes me want to just quit learning the language. You're supposed to grab the learner's attention with something interesting first.
It's like saying that you should read a dictionary cover to cover before starting to learn English grammar.
>>142232778
>Makes me want to just quit learning the language
If you're finding this part a struggle then your convictions are far too weak for learning jap friendino
>>142232767
I just find it interesting that I'm always finding words for such simple concepts despite all the reading I've already done
>>142232778
>It's like saying that you should read a dictionary cover to cover before starting to learn English grammar.
No, it's like telling someone to learn the alphabet before learning the rest of a language, which I'm sure is how you also learned your own language when you started academically studying it in school.
>Makes me want to just quit learning the language. You're supposed to grab the learner's attention with something interesting first.
Tae Kim doesn't profit from having users of his guide keep going/quitting early on, giving you motivation is not his goal. If the efficient way to learn Japanese is too tedious for you then you're in bad luck. You'll have a hard time finding guides tailored to people that get bored quick.
>>142232755
Well not quite.
Are there any other parallel reading books like Read Real Japanese where a Japanese text is picked apart and explained in English line by line?
This is a very useful method for teaching reading natural text, but it seems there's an awful lack of such materials in Japanese.
>>142232668
>>142232778
There is a book I could recommend you that you can even use if you don't know shit, but you are acting like a scumbag so get fucked you little pussy.
Also you can't learn Japanese faggot.
>>142232979
Good to see the thread is still full of elitist shitlords who maybe got to lower intermediate level, quit learning and just stayed here to shitpost at beginners.
>>142233037
Good to see the thread is still occasionally visited by EOP faggots that lack the discipline to study literally anything whatsoever on their own.
>>142233037
>Good to see the thread is still full of elitist shitlords
せやな
>>142232668
It takes literally less than a week to learn the kana, if you're too much of a lazy faggot to do that what's the point of trying to learn the grammar structures and shit Tae Kim would start teaching you.
>>142232668
All your questions and more is answered in Tae Kim's grammar guide's introduction, friend.
>>142233037
Why are you so mad though?
>>142232640
No, it's preterite.
>>142233133
Maybe not everyone is a NEET who can study 16 hours a day and learn them all in a week, anon. It's a fairly big time investment for doing something extremely boring, language learning should start out with something interesting, like short stories in romanji which introduces you to basic grammar.
>>142233199
Why are you doing this? If you just want to see the view sakura saw then I'd recommend you stop right now. You'll just burn yourself out.
>>142233199
>Implying it even takes 16 hours to learn the kana all up
So you're just that lazy and such a faggot you can't learn anything if it doesn't instantly reward you, k got it m8.
>>142233165
is that just a random mineral, be honest
sounds sus af
>>142233199
90% of the time spent learning Japanese is grinding kanji and vocab, if you can't even learn 60 incredibly simple characters that only represent sounds then you're not going to have a great time with the rest of the language
Although I still call shitpost
>>142233199

>>142233305
RIP in pieces, F
what dreams may come, a favorite of mine
>>142233274
If the teacher/writer of a guide has even the slightest amount of competence, he can make learning fun and rewarding.
Telling you to "okay, spend the next two weeks grinding these characters and come back" means that a law should be created that forbids that person from ever giving advice or trying to teach others, since it will just ruin the enthusiasm of beginners and make them quit.
It's sad that the "guide" of such an incompetent teacher should be in our resources list.
>>142233383
youre losing control dude, reel it back in before the fish stop biting
>>142233383
Not that guy but I'm really curious how you imagine fun and rewarding learning of Japanese, if you can't even read those few characters while even a kid in primary school starts learning Kanji.

>>142233199
Not sure why these guys are sperging out over kana. The /djt/ "kana wall" strategy is unnecessarily strict.
You can learn kana and grammar in parallel. Try a textbook. Many of them interleave kana study with other stuff so that students can start speaking Japanese from day 1.
>>142233607
There is nothing wrong with romanji. It's equivalent (even superior) to kana when used for writing a language, and the difference between the two is merely a stylistic choice.
Now, kanji is different since each character also carries a meaning, but kana carries no extra information, so romanji is a perfectly fine replacement for kana-only text.
>>142233749
google romanji
>>142233536
>Believe me Romans will sabotage your future.
as ancient as we consider the romans, they in turn considered the egyptians
think about that useless bit of information as you realize the romans have done you in again
>>142233650
>The /djt/ "kana wall" strategy is unnecessarily strict.
Yes, for literal retards.
Chinese characters are really helpful and needed when you want to read Japanese. Being afraid of too much effort and therefore not daring to start reading normal Japanese sentences is something very stupid and to be avoided unless you're one of those people who don't mind learning Japanese for four years until they start being literate.
So either you suck it up and learn at least the two baby scripts or you can't learn Japanese.
>>142233749
>There is nothing wrong with romanji. It's equivalent (even superior) to kana when used for writing a language, and the difference between the two is merely a stylistic choice.
How many Japanese sentences are written in "romanji" excluding gaijin learning material? Now how many Japanese sentences are written in kana?
What script accompanies the Chinese characters?
>>142233919
>excluding gaijin learning material?
But anon, this is exactly where it should be used. Yet some dumb shits are writing gaijin beginner's guides with kanji.
>>142233958
Tae Kim if for people that know kana and a few kanji and want to get started on grammar.
If you want to start learning grammar, a few words and hiragana side by side, use this.

It will fuck you over in the end though, enjoy.
>>142233958
Why? So that the lazy beginners won't need to get off their asses?
Waiting to learn the syllabic alphabet serves literally no purpose except comforting to a stupid mindset that gets you nowhere.
You'll eventually have to learn it or give up from the beginning and stop wasting time.
Do you need to practise reading an alphabet you grew up with or do you need to practice an alphabet you haven't read before but want to read comfortably in the least amount of time (to actually be able to read native stuff)?
>>142234083
Jumping into the deep end isn't the only way to learn to swim.
These people are only interested in the result of learning Japanese in the end. They're not racing you.
I'm so fucking stupid /djt/, I fucked up big time and now have to put twice the effort into my studies this week at least.
I was using the anki deck from the start up guide (2k6k) until around 600 cards, then added the yotsubato deck so I can start reading soon and learned both.
Someday I decided to only review the 2k6k vocab deck and concentrate on learning more cards from the yostubato deck.
Well and now after 3 weeks I noticed that I don't fucking remember half the cards from the yotsubato deck and that my reviews are kinda low.
>tfw my reviews were capped at 25
No wonder I couldn't remember them cause I never reviewd half the cards fuck.
God I have to relearn most of them now kill me.

I don't know if this is really that relevant but, does anyone else feel far too content with their life because of Japanese?
I'm a neet at the moment, and I know I should be getting a job and doing all that disgusting normie shit, but I just feel so content spending all my time learning Japanese, I have absolutely no drive to go out and be a part of society, or even to spend time with friends on weekends, because I'd just much rather be at home reading
I don't know if I should be happy that I've got something that I enjoy doing so much, or pissed that it's made the outside world even less appealing to me than it already was
Is there a version of Genki in full romanji? If it's aimed for beginners it's really retarded that it uses kanas, let alone kanjis. Practically the only people who can use the book like this are people who quit learning after a few years and learning kanas, and then restarted from zero.
>>142234364
Get off your high horse mate. No one is going out of their way to shit on beginners doing things the slow way. This argument started because one of "these people" entered the "deep water" and then whined how that way of learning doesn't work for him.

NEETs often start to get disgusted with themselves since they do nothing, but learning Japanese kind of feels like doing something meaningful, it requires a lot of effort and it's also rewarding, so it can fill the void of not having a job. At least this is how it feels.
>>142234810
It's pretty bad really, I feel like I had my chance to find something to get obsessed over, and instead of that thing being a job that provides me with a living, I ending up choosing to put several years into learning how to read incredibly niche porn
>>142235034
But then you probably get more job opportunities due to knowing the language.

I can understand your feelings, learning Japanese consumes a lot of your time and you can learn faster by putting more time and effort into it, to the point that there is not much time left for other things.
I have a job, go to the gym every 2 days and do my anki reps, that barely leaves me any time for other things, this includes reading my grammar books I bought.
Fuck.
Thought about going to work by bike and stop going to gym to save time.
I kinda feel good for doing something productive now though, I kinda don't have the time to get depressive anymore, I'm always busy with other shit.

Symptoms of someone who isn't already bilingual. Bilinguals know that phonetic utterances are only placeholders for concepts so they put more weight on learning reading. Having only one lexicon makes you give too much importance in the link between sense and reference.
Look up the "sense and reference" page on wiki, maybe it will help in clearing this misguided way in which monolinguals think.

Ritalin is the safest effective stimulant for people who do not need it. It has the lowest half-life and you develop a tolerance to its euphoria faster than adderall, crystal meth, and ecstacy's. Ritalin's half-life is much shorter than other amphetamine-family stimulants, which means that you can use the downtime between dosages for eating and vegging, contrary to its high effects which include loss of appetite and difficulty meditating.
>>142238703
Should have just ground real kana and grabbed and anki deck of kana. I tried remembering the kana, dropped it on the second day when I felt I wasn't going anywhere. Looked up the tofugu kana guide and was done around 4 hours later.

>>142239614
Re:Zero is one of the rare shows where almost every single character is excellent plus the plot is interesting. It's great.
>>142239689
Try asking again in coherent English.
>>142239518
Read it, you faggot.
>>142239724
I just don't get why everyone is writing "shit" instead of the name of a show.
>>142239721
Yeah, I'm liking it a lot. I almost didn't pick it up because there have been tons of these "trapped in a fantasy-RPG-style world" anime lately and so far I've ignored all of them except Overlord.
>>142239783
Are you okay, dude?
>>142239783
xDDD
>>142239787
>I almost didn't pick it up
Same. I actually didn't pick it up until episode 3 aired and people were raving about it. Glad I did.
>and so far I've ignored all of them except Overlord.
Check out KonoSuba if you haven't, it's also pretty damn great.
>>142238557
According to the elitists faggots that say that if you weren't born japanese and didn't attend post-grad 東大 you don't know shit, no I have not learned japanese
>>142239825
I'm fine. Just wondering why everyone is writing "shit"
Is this a new form of shitposting?
>>142239839
Check out "Shit"? Is this really how they named the show?
>>142239839
>Check out KonoSuba if you haven't, it's also pretty damn great.
It's in my backlog. I skipped the season it aired in so I missed it. Figure I may as well wait for the BDs now.
>>142239914
>>Check out "Shit"? Is this really how they named the show?
Yes, it's the romanji name
>>142239614
I think it might just be the arc, but I could be wrong.
>>142239741
I might when the anime ends. However, I heard it was a great adaptation of a mediocre light novel. I was going to look into it some more, but I'm hesitant to pick up new media in English, and i'm not at a high enough level to read it raw.
>>142239950
What's the Japanese name?
>>142239983
>However, I heard it was a great adaptation of a mediocre light novel.
I wonder how they can say that a still running anime is a great adaption. At least wait until it's over.
I think it depends on what version you read. I've read a little bit of the VN and am reading the WN at the moment and it's pretty obvious that it was written by an amateur but it is still very entertaining (if you like what you've already seen in the anime, they follow it closely until now but have to cut a lot thoughts out of course). You're better off asking the faggots in the threads who've read more than me and probably know more about the differences between WN/VN. I just saw an OP once, I don't follow the threads.
>>142240248
>VN
>>142240294
Thanks, should've been LN.
VN and WN look better together though.
>>142239787
Overlord is the worst one though
>>142238426

There's a link in the guide.
>>142240405
But I like it.
>>142239839
I watched the first episode and almost died from how shit it was
>>142240786
Your taste? I'm sure if you work hard you can fix it to be not shit. Ganbare!
>>142240811
Wow you roasted me hard there man. Calm down!
tfw you never get 止める right in core because it's the other fucking reading every time
>>142240857
Just think both of them?
>>142240857
put "not XYZ" on the front
>>142240857
if you know both readings that means you got the card right
>>142238426
You can get it for free from the maker(s):
http://livingjapanese.com/pages/reading_packs.html
>>142240857
For words like that, I put them into my deck marked with the number of readings I have to remember, like "止める (2)".
>>142240917
That'd be a pretty major hint though. Like "Oh it's one of those cards that have two meanings, and here's it's that other one"
>>142240857
Wait till you get to the additional meanings of 上
>>それは土を簡単に固めただけの道で、西へ向かってまっすぐ走っていた
I'm guessing it's a pretty damn simple sentence but I'm having a little trouble piecing it together. What's it mean in English?
"That is the only soil that formed itself into a road, facing the west and running straight through there." is probably very awkward and wrongplease no bully I'm beginner
>>142241155
It was a road that was simple tramped down soil, it went in a straight line to the west
>>142241155
It's was simple road of hardened soil, heading westwards in a straight line.
>>142241236
Trampled down*
>>142241155
"It was a road that was simply hardened dirt, and it faced and ran straight to the west."
>>142241236
>>142241263
>>142241281
Thank you! Now that I read your examples and the Japanese text afterwards it clicks. Still getting を's use confused at times, even though it's簡単.
>Tfw watching anime without Jap subs feels pointless but watching it with Jap subs feels like you're not getting in any listening practice
>>142241353
I remember being stuck on that same sentence a few months back, and now I look at it and it seems like the simplest shit ever
Progress feels great

>got really cocky thinking I'm too good to spend 30 minutes on anki
>crank modifiers up like 200%, send cards I barely knew way into the future

>3 months later my mature retention plummets to shit
>cards that look brand new to me have 6 month intervals

God damn I was retarded, please don't make the same mistake as me DJT.
>>142241512
If you get cards right, it only takes you 3-4 reviews (20 seconds) per card to get into months long intervals.
I just want op to say "The pleasure of being cummed inside" again

Best way to use audio with a transcript.
>>142241641
i too am a fan of that epic meme, my fellow redditor
>>142242090
It's easy to say that but I find it pretty hard to avoid just automatically looking at the subs as soon as they flash on screen
>>142242614
Please don't bully me
>>142241512
There's more than one way to use flash cards. Some people put all the info on the front and just use them as a memory refresher. You sort of did a retarded version of that.
>>142242635
It's easier with VNs, since you're not trying to follow what's happening on screen and you don't have to worry about the text disappearing. You can even close your eyes if you want to.
>>142242670
Epic XD Don't bully please
>>142242614
heh, calling memers redditors, nice one anonymous bro
>>142242778
True, I do need to start getting into more VNs, they're a pretty perfect study tool
Can you hook something that you play through an emulator (PSP)?
>>142243163
Yes, but it takes some work.
http://mx-futhark.github.io/hook-any-text/
>>142243202
Well I don't need it right now, just asking for the future. Bookmarked though.
What does the 'work' entail?
Can some of you do this exam?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pan78z20w4o3xjn/Pregrado%20Japones%202015.pdf?dl=0
(if so, how much?)
I need to score about 30-40 marks and I'm safe, but I've been focusing on math physics and chemistry instead of japanese. And I've only got around 1k vocab, but have talked with japanese people pretty much every day without fail, on the phone too. How high are my chances?
If I do pass my examinations I get to do my undergrad in Japan for 5 years, engineering desu.
>>142243163
>>142243202
A lot of PSP games are hookable with less fuckery, using ITHVNR and PPSSPP 0.9.8
It mostly works with VNs, though.

it becomes fun to say after a while
what i hate is ん and then an r sound, like in べんり or かんれん
actually i think i'm over that now too
>>142243913
Probably 180. At my current rate it will take like 2 more years.
>>142243973
Long term goal is 185, which will put me in my Normal BMI.
200 is part of a group bet that I made with people for losing weight by September.
