I haven't been doing it as often lately because I get distracted by reading or something else, don't notice the thread dying, and someone else makes a new thread within a minute or two of the old one dying. It shouldn't really be a big deal, the point of his post was more that if people are going to make a new thread within a minute of the old one dying, using a consistent image for those cases helps prevent duplicates.

It's inevitable. If one person stops, another begins. It's the way of life. I can't remember a time it hasn't been like that. Notice how /vg/ doesnt have consistent images but doesn't have a huge problem of duplicate threads. Reason being, one person takes up the mantle for most generals.

A secret club FTP would probably be better so there aren't dead torrents and people having to host tons of crap they don't care about / reveal their IPs if they're not using a VPN, but the CoR is used on enough different sites that trying to make the CoR's contents private would just attract more outsiders into the thread.

I know. It's not the first time I'm learning a foreign language, but with kanji most words just don't stick with me. I forget how to read it most of the time and sometimes I even think I've never even seen that word only to realize that I've learned it yesterday or a few days back.
>>138756502
I've only learned kana before starting vocab and anki, which took me 3 days. So it's 10 days if you count that.
>>138756529
> I just forget words really fast.
If you feel it'll help you can add an additional step, you know how with new cards you have to get it right twice for it to go through, you can go in the options and add a third or even forth one, helps a bit with remembering new cards

>>138756559
I'd say it's too early to say whether you actually have problems on retention or not but for your consideration you could try kangxi radical deck, rtk, any kanji book other than rtk, kd, kd deck, or any variation of method that could help you retain information by being able to deconstruct kanji to some smaller components.
>>138756529
If after two weeks, you still feel kanji is the problem, do a radicals deck. If after that, you still feel kanji is the problem, do something like RTK or KD.

>>138756756
It is. English (as a second language) is being taught from elementary school. Then from 5th grade you can choose between Russian and German. When you reach 10th grade you can drop English and Russian/German or even pick a 4th language. I didn't drop anything, but didn't pick another language. Also, English is still taught at most colleges/unis.

No but you can have this low res cutout and a reminder that you can't learn Japanese.
>>138757467
I don't use it often enough to be able to judge that. I only use it for some technobabbles, esp. introductory technobabbles, in some manga. So once every 3-4 chapters if not less.
It's always accurate to me. You know manga have dialogues in balloons and mumblings outside the balloons, I never tried it on the outside dialogue-box lines, so I don't know how accurate it is.
> I prefer having the full original sentence whenever I'm mining
I don't capture the whole sentence. I just highlight the words-Firefox-Rikai. I don't bother mining it half the time. It's not like I'll ever see チャクラ解剖刀 outside of Naruto for example.
My guess is I don't think mining a complete sentence will works 100% of the time for manga with capture2text just because sentences often split to separate dialogue boxes.

Vocab game when?
Kana is easy as hell and there already a shit ton of games on both PC and mobile phones.
I just started anki, and am doing radicals before I do vocab, but what do you guys mean when you say "rep" in regards to anki? Like, I just finished the default new cards and review, so the normal 20 words(I'm gonna do more don't worry). how many reps would that be?

Does it tell you what the word means or how to read it (if it includes kanji)?

It's a guessing game. You gotta use context to guess what the word means. As for kanji, if you don't know one, it becomes an art game where you get to draw them. Endless fun!
>>138758372
You could actually learn Japanese instead.
I have to ask because I really want to start learning the actual language, not just the alphabets, do I really need to learn radicals before going on to vocabulary? More importantly, should I learn radicals before doing the core vocab deck?

>>138759498

>>138759559
thanks for the reply, but I still wonder why it's bad for me to learn Kanji in the order that Japanese kids learn. They learn easy Kanji or common Kanji for the first grade, right?
>>138759752
The vast majority of jouyou kanji (1000-1500) are used so commonly that whether one is more common than the other is entirely irrelevant. Grade 1 kanji is not particularly easy, because no kanji is harder than another - just rarer (which is not relevant for the majority of jouyou kanji which are not rare).
>>138759520
>清め
>ことだ
>行ける
>独壇場
一文字入れ替えれば土壇場
>>138759752
>>138759822
Forgot the main point. Because they're all so common, there's no *need* to learn in the order kids do. It won't be good, or bad. Therefore, learning in an order that's easier to learn or more efficient just makes sense.
>>138759752
its only bad because its curriculum designed for people learning japanese as their primary language and its spread out over many years in which youre using japanese every day in between coursework
the material is fine but youre at a communication level much higher than that of a child (assumedly) so you can use that to your advantage with higher level study methods/materials

Japanese kids learn the 'most useful' kanji first, not the simplest one. For instance, compare these five kanji 叱 泊 雨 雲 曜. It seems rather obvious that the first two are simple. Indeed they don't have many strokes, and they're easy to remember. On the other hand, the last three, especially the third seems harder to remember and draw.
Now compare the approximate meaning of each : to scold, to stay overnight, rain, cloud, day of the week. While being easier to retain, the first two kanji relate to more complex ideas than the last three. Just look at the kanji for day of the week, it really doesn't seem easy to write/remember. The complexity of a kanji doesn't necessarily relate to the idea behind it.
Yet, if you follow the way Japanese kids learn kanji, you'll learn 曜 way before 叱. But for kids, it's rather logical since they know what both words are, they only need kanji to write/read them. As an adult learning Japanese, you don't already know the words. In conclusion, learning each kanji individually the way Japanese kids do it isn't a great idea overall. If you want to study kanji, either do it through Core or some form or vocabulary, or go for a logical step progression method, like RTK, Kanji Damage or Kodansha's Learner Course.

>>138760063
>I'm interested in the order that Japanese kids learn.
Nah, don't do that.
Instead try something like KanjiDamage's deck based on how common the kanjis are, this way you'll be learning the most used kanjis first, regardless of meaning or strokes, and the uncommon ones later.

That's not how DJT works. Only one thread being up at once is one of the conditions for the mods giving DJT the okay to stay on /a/. That's why we wait for the thread to fall completely off the board before making a new one.

>>138763905
romaji automatically means the person has no idea what they are doing and should be disregarded
this is what people actually think and thats why you have people who know a bunch of vocab but cant use any of it to construct a few sentences that are connected to each other
dont be a guy who settles for being able to spot vocab in text without understanding how the sentences work and you just rewrite the grammar to english in your head willy nilly
>>138764151
>>138764151
Blah blah dude. It's just a fact good grammar sources sometimes deign to use romaji. The end. You're not going to end up a permanent failure in Japanese because a grammar resource you used had romaji.
>romaji automatically means the person has no idea what they are doing and should be disregarded
The Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar uses romaji and was written by two native Japanese professors of linguistics.

This is a bit off-topic here, but here are some kanji resources anons may have missed
>RTK Reconstructed (keyword+radical breakdown -> kanji)
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1672767733
Instead of ridiculous mnemonics that are often harder to remember than the kanji themselves, learn only the absolute essentials. Using the meaning, and the radicals, draw the kanji.
When kanji become Mature, nail them home by learning vocab that uses them.
In essence, it's the "vocab" approach, except with a warm-up period for each kanji. Also unlike Heisig, there is no defined "order" (you can filter by the kanji in your media if you want).
>Kodansha Learner's Course
It's a book that I think also shits on Heisig pretty hard. You're gonna pay $25 though. The main idea is to learn the meaning of kanij, a mnemonic/story, and at least 1 vocab that uses it. It's still pretty new but I think this will eventually become a new standard recommendation.

its no more complicated than just utilizing the wealth of self study resources out there, some of which are in the op, as well as getting as much immersion as you can with regards to human interaction, on or offline
time spent with people who can generate casual and correct japanese who can then also give you feedback in realtime is more valuable than anything else, though you still need to invest a lot of time into self study with text resources and exercises to have a good balance
i can tell you how to make japanese friends other than youre on the internet and you have reach and access to much more things and people than youre aware of
>>138765394
No, that's literally off-topic shitposting, even if it's /a/ related. Again, go to the /qa/ thread if you want to dispute this with people.
>walk a trail every other day for exercise

I really need to approach some of them one of these days.

Assuming you aren't in Japan, take this chance and call them filthy gaijins
>>138765401
Wow, very innovative. Thanks for sharing, Jamal.
>>138765621
Ask them if they masturbate to loli nukige and if they're looking forward to まいてつ's release. They'll definitely want to talk to you then.
On a related note, has anyone here actually read Monobeno? How does it rate on that 1-5 chart that gets posted frequently?
>>138765401
How do you make cute Japanese friends?
Do i gotta show them my superior nip skills?
Poetry and shit.
>>138765872
>frequently
I haven't seen this thing once.
>>138765621
they could die before tomorrow and youll never see them again and be really sad that you didnt act sooner
i met some japanese tourists at an amusement park while on vacation and ended up hanging out with them for most of the rest of the time i was there, effectively ditching the rest of my friends
i even talk to them online sometimes still
making new friends is tops
>>138765854
sorry you get what you pay for
also youre gay dude and im actually going to press the report button on your post because youve slipped. its a slow day i know

It was very very recent and probably has a lot of room for improvement, but is decent enough. If some experienced anon wants to he can probably make a better one that's 1-10 and gives more examples.
>>138765560
I only go to /qa/ to shitpost, that's all that retarded board is good for.
Now fuck off.
>>138765777
I'd be looking to make friends, not act like an obnoxious autist. That wouldn't be any more pleasant to hear than going to Japan and hearing someone say "filthy foreigner" in English, joking or not.
>>138765872
I know that you're kidding, but-
>talking about sexual fetishes
This is the one topic that you absolutely do not bring up, even around close friends, unless it's extremely vanilla and tame.
>>138765976
It's not just one family. I've seen a few groups. Some of those lone Asians might also be Japanese.
Pretty surprising, honestly. There also lots of Japanese restaurants ran by native Japanese with Japanese patrons.
I might wait until I lose some weight so that at least my first impression isn't "weird chubby autist who approached out of the blue". /fit/ people naturally come across as a bit more socially adept. At least I'm not as white as a ghost anymore.

i dont think anyone with real creds to categorize vns will ever do it so its probably a fools endeavor from the start
i think it would be better to say that all adult content vns (and nearly all vns in general) are something you should stay away from until you can read the equivalent of some young adults literature which are for more mainstream audiences
so you should probably shift all those vns over to start at 5 so they are sufficiently far away from yotsubato, and then edit those and go from there
>>138766442
Are they really that hard? Or are upper difficulty VNs just not that much more difficult than lower/medium difficulty VNs aside from vocab and kanji? I didn't really get the impression they were that hard jumping straight from the 2nd volume of Yotsuba into Flyable Heart (which is around the same level as Fureraba). The beginning sucked, but I still understood almost all of it and was reading at a comfortable pace by the time I was almost done with the common route.
Or did I just get taken along for a ruse cruise?
>>138766442
Can 5 even properly judge it then? Maybe a system of 10?
>>138766210
>I might wait until I lose some weight so that at least my first impression isn't "weird chubby autist who approached out of the blue"
i mean even if youre skinny you can run into this problem. approaching a family is probably a little weird but why not just be like hey i run this trail a lot maybe you guys have seen me but do you mind if we talk a little bit? im learning japanese and i dont get many opportunities to talk to people. tell them youre learning just purely as a hobby if thats the reason to enjoy various media. japan does have the 2nd largest music industry in the world so its reason enough
if things go well you could have new people to talk to when you go out a few times a week. if they tell you to fuck off then thats that and its not like they are gonna kill you
>>138766654
10 would be better if it's having a VN for each piece number and not just adding some more examples for each number. the jump to each number does seem fairly big, though.
>>138766582
i mean heres the thing. theres reading words on a page and theres understanding what the writer is trying to say
vns are riddled with tons of cultural in jokes, references, net culture in jokes (note this is not the same thing as memes), and the list goes on. its an entertainment medium for jaded adults for the most part and this is reflected in writing quite a bit
saying you shouldnt read them until you can do x is wrong but it is true that theres going to be much reduced takeaway value for you if you havent been reading and in the mix so to speak for long
>>138766654
i dont really advocate having a number rating system for titles by difficulty because i think thats actually pretty subjective. adult level reading is adult level reading across the board when it comes to literature. theres stuff out there about unique kanji in a title and whatnot and i think thats also not particularly great at telling you anything
>>138765976
Sorry, it's just your advice was so generic ("Study hard, and also, make friends who can help you learn Japanese!") after all the airs you've been putting on.

Less so, though.
My whole body right now undoubtedly screams "not healthy". I'm walking, not running, because I'd quickly vomit if I didn't build up some stamina first. Even walking leaves me sore. My posture is probably poor, too. It's about more than just weight (my weight is just a bit above average; noticeably chubby, but not obese).
When you're around unhealthy people, your inclination is that you want to get away from them. Maybe it's a survival instinct thing or something. Either way, I'd rather not lose people who could be valuable friends in a few months on account of having approached them too early.

Hey lads, I won't have computer access for a while. Am I doomed to come back to a mountain of anki repetitions? I don't want to return and see a few thousands of repetitions.I'm scared it will make me abandon anki altogether ;_;
>>138767511
Just doing exercises, original text was "I speak Japanese everyday". I just want to check because I have trouble with particles and wasnt sure how to phrase this one
>>138767514
Why?
>>138767528i cant tell if this is sarcasm
>>138767534
Do you not have a phone or something? If not, then yeah you're probably screwed. Just deal with the mountain of reps when you come back, it's better than starting over.
>>138767534
I was going to say fearing reps is ridiculous, but then I realized I'm not really sure why you fear reps.
Is it because of how long it'll take you to finish them? Are you on a time limit?
As far as I'm aware, there shouldn't be and therefore you can just take it slow and as long as it takes to finish all those reps. There's no need to rush. It's not like they go away forever. If you wanted to go away, you could just delete the cards.
>>138767030
Most people who read VNs to learn vocab/grammar are unlikely to tackle anything anywhere near Urobuchi or Narahara in a very long time. Moege is king as far as early exposure goes. 100% comprehension is hardly necessary.
>>138767790
I'll translate manga with my 75% comprehension.
>>138767534
yes, so you should try to at least do your reviews on your phone/anki web if you can. if you can't, when you come back just set a review cap until you get through the backlog.
>>138765872
>On a related note, has anyone here actually read Monobeno? How does it rate on that 1-5 chart that gets posted frequently?
I gave it a 2.6 or so, although bear in mind some parts are extremely easy (literally little children tier) and some parts are ridiculously difficult super-ancient remote mountain accent.
>>138767458
It's just reality.
70% of our communication is non-spoken. Health and physique effects one's body movements significantly. If a healthy guy with good posture and good strong muscles and organs puts his hands in his pockets and looks off somewhere, it communicates a different message to onlookers than if a fat guy with poor posture and weak muscles and organs puts his hands in his pockets and looks off somewhere. The former message is undoubtedly a more positive one to view as an outsider. The only way to give off the former message is to make one's body healthy.
It effects our verbal communication, as well. One's weight both influence's one's voice and their ability to speak without losing their breath, which has a direct effect one one's charisma.
No matter how much political correctness attempts to make fat people bashing off limits, this is ingrained in us on an instinctual level. Attempting to reject it will only result in a cognitive dissonance and a series of double standards that will make you unhappy.
>>138766582
Moege are often easier than video games or LNs. Everything is on a case by case basis.
Things like Oretsuba and Muramasa are leagues above your average moege in difficulty. But usually it's vocabulary that is a problem and not so much grammar.
>>138766107
This is hilariously inaccurate and superficial. I don't understand why you think assigning arbitrary numbers to eroge while making use of a 'Yotsuba to Classical Japanese' scale is going to help anybody.
People interpret game difficulty differently. What could be a pitfall for you is not necessarily a pitfall for another person. If you actually want to make something useful, then compile a list of games you've already read and write about potential things that can be troublesome for readers to deal with.
And before you say this: Yes, Muramasa is more difficult than the average eroge - But there's no point unless you elaborate on what's difficult and point out solutions to tackling these problems.
Just scrap the list dude.
>>138767309
Nothing great since Muramasa and that was like 7 years ago. They pretty much switched to anime and Sonico fanservice.
I just applied a style that someone posted a few threads back and now I'm missing the example sentences in Japanese (the translation is below an empty space). How do I fix this?
>>138767409
It looks solid. But most if not all japanese speakers would omit the "私は" since it's obvious you're talking about yourself.
>>138767936
At least they crapped out a Phantom of Inferno remake without MS Paint art. Urobuchi's script is mostly intact.
>>138768122
>But most if not all japanese speakers would omit the "私は" since it's obvious you're talking about yourself.
Depends on context and you wouldn't start a conversation like that to begin with.
>>138768135
PoI is horrible. The last act is a complete trainwreck that disregards prior characterization (Ein's development from a killing machine to a normal girl) and plot points (Inferno not having so little activity that they can waste resources on a couple of runaways), and devolves into a complete idiot plot that only plays out like it does because there would be no conflict if the characters were in-character. It's the second-worst VN that I've read, behind ONE.The only Urobutcher work that I've liked is Gargantia.
Automatic audio added to cards with rikai is a thing right?

「命に対する冒とく」などの批判が殺到し、作品の作者は受賞を辞退すると共に、同センターが最優秀賞の該当作品なしとすることを決定した。他の受賞作品を見てみると……。いずれも美しいオホーツクの景色をとらえており、これらの作品が素晴らしいと話題を呼んでいる。改めて、なぜクジラに乗った作品が最優秀だったのか？ と疑問の声が挙がっている。
1st point of confusion:
同センターが最優秀賞の該当作品なしとすることを決定した
Waves of comments like "Disrespectful towards life" etc came in, the creator of the piece refused the prize, and correspondingly the center decided there was no winner."
2nd:
これらの作品が素晴らしいと話題を呼んでいる
"Looking at the other entries, sure enough pictures of beautiful oshkosh landscapes, these became a wonderful topic".
>>138768289
This depends on whether you played one of the windows versions or that shitty DVD game. The translation was literally butchered. Not only was 75% of the actual dialog cut, but what little was left in that version, only half of was translated by the clowns who localized it.
Where should I learn onomatopoeias? I never have any idea what half of them are supposed to mean when reading manga.
>>138768420
>死がい
>冒とく
man fuck news
>>138768443
It was the DVD game.
Still, I couldn't see Act 3 not being complete garbage.The conflict only happened as it did because the protagonist refused to say anything that wasn't completely callous to Cal, even while he was basically pissing himself with joy and relief in his monologue. There was no reason for him not to say anything, either, because breaking out of the cold assassin bullshit was basically the whole point behind his actions throughout the story. If he were acting in-character, the first thing that he would have done was tell Cal how overjoyed he was to see her alive (who was basically begging him to tell her that she was wrong), and there would have been no fight between the two. The three person team would have gone and shot the antagonist together, and that would have been the end of it. Instead, all he ever did was say "Cal..." and seemingly do everything in his power to guide the dialogue towards a shootout.
>>138768355
I have it set up so it does everywhere, but it show's as text on my cards.
>>138768862
You need to add the "[sound:] thing in manually, as far as I know.
Look at Core 6k cards for an example.
>>138768896
>>138768862
>You need to add the "[sound:] thing in manually
No you don't, you just set the tag in Rikai's settings as [sound:$a] instead of just $a
>>138768896
>>138768956
How was I supposed to know this?
>>138768956
Well, shit.
I guess I'll delete all of the cards that I haven't changed manually yet. That shit's a ridiculous timesink when you're dealing thousands of cards.
>>138769055
With the $a, it's listed right in the options for auto-import.
I'm not sure how you were supposed to know that adding [sound:] would add that into the field, though.
>>138769055
Didn't mean it in a hostile way if that's how it came across, my bad. I figured it out by looking at other cards that had audio and seeing what would happen if I changed $a to [sound:$a] and it worked. If you meant how to know about [sound:], outside of looking at decks that have working audio, the Anki manual mentions it.
>>138769118
That shit's a ridiculous timesink when you're dealing thousands of cards.
You could export the deck into a spreadsheet and add [sound: to the beginning of the cell for the column and add ] to the end of the cell and then import that back into anki to update all of your notes.
How you do that will vary depending on the spreadsheet program you use (could probably just use the =CONCATENATE formula in excel and then copy the data in that new column over the old column or something), but if you actually have audio saved for all of your cards already and it just isn't working because the field just doesn't have the [sound:] thing, it'd save you a lot of time.
>>138768046
for me, I had the same problem, so I just deleted the deck and reinstalled it because I only just barely started doing 2k/6k anyway
>>138768046
Make a new user on Anki, import a fresh version of the deck, copy the front/styling/back there, switch back to the main user, and replace the front/styling/back with the one you just copied from the fresh deck.
>>138768289
I've never seen anyone else ever mention ONE. I liked the blind and mute girls, but I was really uncomfortable when it got to the sex scenes with the retarded girl.
>>138769379
I am *literally* an Aurelia aurita.
>>138769118
I think you can just change your card template instead. Haven't tested it, but it probably works.
Change {{Audio}} to [sound:{{Audio}}]
>>138769379
Live in Japan myself, so no.
>>138769319
It was relatively popular on /jp/ a few years ago, IIRC.
The only thing that I remember positively about it was the tsundere bullying.
>>138769260
I don't have excel right now.
I'll just start from scratch. It doesn't bother me all that much. I haven't reached my mining decks yet, and it's all bound to come back around sooner or later.
>>138769459
Scratch that, changing the import settings just changed all of the entries to [sound:$a].
That's pretty awesome.
>>138769379
But can you read Muramasa? No?
