Looking for help trying to decipher the kanjis in this image. I think I got the first one:

> てめえいつまで仕事サボッリてん?

The second one I got this:

> ふざけないつまでも机あるて黒

But I don't think I'm making much sense, especially that 黒 in the end (it doesn't seem to be any character's name because he has no name) and my kanji knowledge is very limited to know what else it could be that looks like that...

Intermediate hell is an overrated meme. Propagating this belief gives people a placebo effect in making them think that they're suffering more than they actually are. After reading a couple LNs/VNs, the ability to recognise kanji improves exponentially to the point where you can easily guess the meaning of phrases (although one might be inclined to check its exact meaning).

>But I'm tired of having to look up words occasionally!

Then make the process easier. It's only suffering if you think it's suffering. Rather than lamenting your misfortune of having your rhythm broken, why not focus on comprehending and enjoying whatever you're reading?

That's my view on 'intermediate hell', anyway.

cont.
1/17 through kanjidamage list. By this time it's clear that majority of ons are just consonant sound + vowel sound and using kana for rows/columns was a mistake, or, rather, Japanese made a mistake by projecting Chinese characters onto their language. Kanji would be more naturally presented with letters of a language which isn't fucked by Japanese syllable system. Thus, table should be rearranged as such:
1) use vowels/consonants for rows/columns (place kanji with longer readings according to first two sounds?)
2) remove kuns (unless they are used in jukugo?), if space allows, write kuns next to their respectice kanji

>>142645345
I'll usually only hit easy in 3 scenarios.

1) It's a word I knew, but got confused with another because I was going too fast the previous day.
2) It's in katakana and I figure out the meaning before the flop.
3) If it's some sort of conjugation of previous vocabulary and I manage to both pronounce and define it before the flop.

Beyond that, I'll almost go exclusively "good" or "hard".

I aim to have 100% reading comprehension, but I never give myself negative feedback about intermediate hell.

I think anyone who seeks to improve their comprehension can at least relate to the concept of intermediate hell regardless of whether they are aiming for fluency.

>>142643980
That happens really early on. A more specific description would be the feeling of frustration caused by having to look up words constantly despite the fact that you've been learning Japanese for x number of years.
>>
>>142647607
You're probably taking the phrase too seriously. I don't feel discouraged by the hell I just know I'm in for a long time and it's just a fun way to describe it.

I also found that dropping anki helped a lot with making learning less of a chore (I was at ~7000 mature though) giving me more motivation to read

As has been said it happens pretty early on,but nonetheless I think it makes you intermediate. It means you're better at comprehension than almost anyone who is still taking japanese classes, and are probably nearing N2.

A slightly higher requirement would be "When you feel like you are capable of reading even difficult VNs, but it's still a pain in the ass"

The end result itself probably won't be worth the required effort, unless you exclusively consume Japanese media and is really starved for translations. You might find that you enjoy the language learning process, though, and the satisfaction you get from exploring and getting better at a new language. That on it's own, or in combination with the end result, achieving functional fluency and the ability to freely consume Japanese material, might be enough. But you won't know unless you give it a try.

Since light novels and visual novels are garbage, I have to do other things to learn Japanese. I play old JRPGs on a psx emulator and have to look up kanji that is sometimes so blurred together you can't even make it out.

If you want it bad enough you'll do it.

Just seems to me every light novel is just a written version of anime. And as I got older, I grew out of anime. I learn Japanese now simply because I've wasted so much time learning it I might as well finish. There is no compelling content anymore. Maybe I'll read a history book or something.

Not an edgelord at all, just bored with it. If you know some LNs that aren't garbage by all means shoot some my way.

thats exactly what lns are they are basically ready made anime shit and thats why you see them getting made into anime so much

everything is shit though especially the things you like
>>
>>142656495
I can kind of understand. VNs usually feel more watered down than LNs, less active than anime or manga, and less interactive than full video games.
On the plus side, VNs are usually
>More involved than LNs
>More fleshed out than anime/manga
>Less tedious than video games

If you don't like LNs though, then try novels. If nothing compels you to learn, it's fucking stupid to continue.

>>
>>142656673
>I learn Japanese now simply because I've wasted so much time learning it I might as well finish.
So you did Anki for years? Because learning Japanese requires actual native material and since you were young enough to read LNs and VNs there's no excuse.

>>142657019
You mean like 分かる and 判る? Or 硬い and 固い? The have the same basic meaning but slighly different nuances. Using them interchangably will out you as a gaijin real quick.

If you still need to look up kanji in video games you're not even 1/3 of the way to being "finished". Just stop and go learn something else.

"In the world, words regarding tobbaco caused disease have come to be written in a strongly worded way. For this reason the ministry of finance asked doctor's opinions, and in even in Japan they are thought of deciding on a plan to make wordings (on tobbaco) stronger.

How does the former logically conclude the latter portion? If its already admittedly strongly worded, why would they think to make it even stronger.

>>142658200
Well, to be specific, Japanese is an infinite regular language described by a context sensitive grammar, which means that although parts of it can be pumped it can never be described by an infinite automaton. This is obvious because it isn't context free. In order to understand Japanese grammar you first have to do induction in the structure of the individual grammar points and make sure the base case holds before you can go any further. If the base case holds, i.e if xはyです is always syntactically correct, then you can continue with the induction steps. There are various ways you can add new parts to a Japanese sentence, similar to r = r1r2, r = r* and r = r1 + r2, and you have to prove through induction in the structure of the Japanese grammar that all of these changes result in a regular language as well. This is where the pumping comes in. The lemma says that for all cp in L(r) where c = component and p = particle, concatenating cp with any existing syntactically correct Japanese sentence should give us another syntactically correct sentence if the context sensitive grammar allows it.
