It's TV, anon.
TV anywhere is mainly trash aimed at the lowest common denominator and legit humour isn't allowed to be broadcast. It's for the lowest common denominator. The lowest.

Would there be any value in having a database of plaintext files copied down from the text in various manga? (No english translations, just the japanese text)
I was thinking I'd like something like that so I could follow along with it reading the manga in rikaichan.
Just wondering because I might start reading boku no hero academia and thinking about saving all the text or if I shouldn't bother

Doesn't look like it could hurt and there aren't many cards and if they are accurate, why not? Nothing to really lose and there is something to gain. Go for it. It will take less than a week to go through and by then you should have a feeling of whether or not you feel like further reviewing.

No, it was his own uploads.
>>139117968

>>139118039
No it wasn't, at least not all of it. I have two of the mega accounts from the older split of accounts and received a bunch of obviously fake DMCA threads from throw away email addressed around 48 hours before getting email from mega explaining that my account was being looked into for fraudulent activity and when I went to log it, it kept screwing up, I had to reset my password and after logging in with the new password, my folders with a collection of light novels were all gone and the account says I have 50GB worth of date left on the cloud.
There is no fucking way I'm going to be using that account anymore.
>read Tae Kim

Not really, it scared the shit out of me.
Fortunately everything I have uploaded as been through a tunnelling service. The other account is still up, which has like 10GB of light novel scans.
I've sent an email to the anon who gave me the mega account in the first place, no response.
>>139118267
They both have a stack of different topic boards- try both.
>>139118392
>I've sent an email to the anon who gave me the mega account in the first place, no response.
The guy who distributed those accounts from the "original owner" is the original CoR guy who freaked out in the first place, so I hear. He's trying to destroy it again.
>>139118170
>my uploads are still up and active
Easily replaced, but still. Guess Mega just went after the larger accounts.
Any good podcasts for listening comprehension? There's an abundance on iTunes.
>>139118475
Maybe but I doubt it. Anyway, time will tell.
>>139118503
It was surprising that mega actually did anything.
>>139118568
Have you looked into the Jpod101 collection in the CoR? For listening comprehension lessons it is pretty much generic but all round decent.
How do I find compelling content if I don't like to read hentai, manga or VNs? LNs would be okay if I was a bit better. What do?

there are surely manga and VNs out there that would hold your interest. you probably just haven't found them.
for me, sometimes i just google shit i'm interested in and look around a bit. sometimes i end up at a website or blog about something interesting and i try to read that. in the end it's pretty much just up to you to find what you like though. at least finding a manga you like seriously shouldn't be hard though. do you just not like reading at all or something?

psp, ps3, ps4.
ps vita too, however...
because of how the system works, it's a damn pain in the ass to switch between two different-region accounts.
if i remember correctly, it's locked to the actual system, not even the memory card, and the only way to change it is to format the system and redo the initial setup. therefore if you don't want to lose your data, you have to have a spare empty memory card to put in before formatting. plus doing the setup takes a while and even includes something like a 3 minute unskippable video. i just gave up on switching back and forth because it was so annoying to do, especially compared to ps3 and ps4 where it's just a couple button presses.
>>139120147
>it's locked to the actual system, not even the memory card
Nah, now you can swap cards around to play using different accounts.
But you shouldn't be using anything but the Japanese one anyway.
>>139119902
No wonder the thread was so fast
And no, the thread devolved into shitposting
>>139120188
oh really? thank god.
>>139120147
>. therefore if you don't want to lose your data, you have to have a spare empty memory card to put in before formatting
You can back up your data to your PC, so you don't need a second memory card. Having a second memory card is less troublesome though.
If you have ps+ you actually get cloudsave think?
Also you can always just import japanese games physically, you just wont be able to buy DLC
>>139119902
Your posts didn't improve the thread. You flooded the thread with questions that were not a part of the conversation. I realize you think you were unnoticed, but I think it was clear that something strange was happening and that's why people started chasing ghosts.

I like reading english novels, so I assume I'd like LNs or Japanese novels, but they are pretty difficult. I don't know why but I always got bored and lost interest with manga and VNs. I don't think I've ever gotten past 2 volumes of any one manga.
I like to talk to people and watch anime, both of which aren't really going to help my reading. Maybe I'll try another LN

hmm. i might suggest to look for short-story kinds of manga. i really don't know many at all to be honest, but you know, little self-contained stuff like most of junji ito's.
since those kinds are really short, it would perhaps feel like less of an investment to slowly read through and probably won't become as boring or tiresome. have you tried reading stuff like that?

>>139121801
No, it's fine. Your question just resembled what the spammer was posting before.
>>139121844
haha i was actually the spammer
Does the "new cards per day" actually give you new words, or does that include the review? It doesn't seem like I'm actually getting the number of new cards that I put in.
>>139121961
It gives you new cards, yes.
Wait, are you spamming again?
>>139121961
Maybe you have multiple card types and you're getting doubles.
If you're the spammer, suck a fat one buddy.
>>139122004
I guess I have brain problems. It certainly doesn't feel like I learned 200 new kanji, but counting the card browser seems to say otherwise.
>>139122061
Check with KanjiGrid.
>>139122061
Which deck?
Also, what this guy said >>139122086
fuck today's anki was the worst time i've had with it.
my head was not in the game. i'd forget shit literally within 10 seconds, it was absurd.
damn it pissed me off.
>>139122399
>i'd forget shit literally within 10 seconds
That happens to me every day.
I thought that was normal?
どこをどう走ったのか、自分でもわからない
I assume the どこをどう is kind of like a where and how but why the を? I feel like I'm missing something.
>>139122419
well i'm sure it's normal to an extent, but i've never had it happen on this level.
i'd continually forget the same card within 10 seconds like 5 times in a row. near the end it was cycling through like 5 cards every one of which i'd forget each time it came around. that's definitely an exaggeration but it sort of felt like that. my mind just felt comparatively hella blank during my reps today.
Do you guys mine vocab into its own deck? I just push the Core cards to the top (except when the word isn't on the deck for whatever reason).
Also, what's with the "optimized" decks?
>>139120939
>>139120814
ここに誰もいない
Nobody here
So he's spamming, right? Every few minutes there's been a generic stand-alone question.
>>139122584
I have a Japanese main deck and the Core and mined vocab subdecks under that. This is because I needed to be able to have different options for each deck such as different new cards per day when I was still doing core.

it pretty much is in this case. を makes it basically exactly like saying "where" in english and indicates that you ran somewhere while keeping it as vague as simply saying "where"
think about how like 何を can be used its the same idea

来年話したみたい
It looks like we talked last year
This isn't weird right. I don't know why but it seems weird to me. Context is someone on hellotalk who I apparently talked with last year
>>139123778
it kind of is because you sound kinda awkwardly distant saying みたい
>>139123478
i've been paranoid too, recently. in certain contexts it sometimes becomes legitimately difficult to tell shitposts from non-shitposts
i find certain parallels between english and japanese kind of interesting, many of them are metaphors that i just wouldn't imagine being pretty so similar in japanese.
a similar thing i was wondering about
おかしい means both humorous and strange. we can say "funny" in english in the same way, meaning either funny "ha-ha" or funny like "this soup tastes funny..."
but does the japanese word prefer one meaning or have different sort of connotations from its english parallel? it's a pretty basic word but i'm inexperienced in seeing it in the wild
Which spelling do I add to my deck?
>>139123852
context determines everything
>>139123778
よう would sound more natural I think
>>139123904
I'd say forget about the ones with 御 in front as long as you know it's just the kanji for the honorific お or ご that comes in front of some words (like ご飯 can also be written 御飯)
so then it's just down to お腹 or お中, and I'm sure お腹 is more common. I've never seen the other one used as stomach before, and rikai usually puts the most common one at the top.

The thing is anon, you have no idea which posts they were and you would have never anything if I didn't post that.
What you don't know is that I've been doing this since Feb, on and off and almost every thread I didn't run this little experiment, they had a couple of arguments that took up 100s of posts. It was somewhat shockly how predictably the threads would be reduced to huge spanning off topic arguments on the days I refrained from posting. It is certainly something to think about, even if you may not want to accept it.

Well I wasn't here last thread so that's good but if you are saying you are doing this from Feb, then you definitely have wasted some of my time too.
Please don't do that anon, you are wasting people's time for nothing. Nobody benefitted from your question and my time was wasted replying to you when I can instead just idling or do something else.
So, what I've learned in 1.5 months as a beginner:
Pre-WW2 kana.
Modern kana.
25 simplified Kanji.
My question is if I should continue with the simplified characters or move on to the traditional ones? I don't really want to read any 1000 year old book at this point, so would it be wiser to go with simplified?
>>139126320
did you learn the secret kana yet?
>>139126365
What do you mean by that?
>>139126089
Just learn the pronunciation and bear in mind it has to do with go down/decrease, don't memorize the specific meaning.
It's more useful to learn it later with context.
There are still variants like 降る 降ろす.

>>139126378

What do you mean simplified kanji? There is only one type of relevant kanji in Japanese, no "simplified" and "traditional" like in Chinese. At best some have alternative, obsolete forms like Like 国 vs 國.
>>139126438
>>139126455
Yeah, I get it now.
>>139126506
I mean smaller number of strokes in general.
>>139126320
Neat.
Have you learned any grammar or vocab?
>>139126537
>I mean smaller number of strokes in general.
Can you give an example?
>>139126549
About 50 words probably, but they are really common ones. I don't think I can tackle grammar before knowing a good amount of Kanji, i'm thinking 600-800 at least.

I realize these are just examples, but japanese doesn't work on a simplified-traditional system like chinese. Both 龍 and 竜 are in use and have slightly different meanings, they aren't different versions of each other. And 礻 isn't actually a kanji.
>>139126643

Huh, well again you shouldn't separate kanji into two categories. For each kanji, there is only one form that you should normally use and thus need to learn. Like you should know 示, but 礻 is useless, it it never used as a kanji, it's just a radical. And 龍 is very rarely used, you only need 竜 until you get to expert level.
By the way I would personally recommend studying grammar and general language instead of just focusing kanji exclusively for so long. Especially since you don't really seem to understand what kanji you even need or not.
>>139126691
How would I do that? Maybe little children's books, but I won't have enough advanced grammar knowledge.
>>139126741
But I want to read meaningful material that will most likely use complex Kanji like 龍、國、賓。
>>139126761
I'm afraid my head might hurt a lot.
>>139126767
Why do I need grammar if I can't read? I really can't quite understand this concept of focusing on grammar without learning the alphabet.
>>139126853
godspeed anon and good luck, you will need it.
>>139126853
>I'm afraid my head might hurt a lot.
Is this bait?
>Why do I need grammar if I can't read?
>why do I need to know the building blocks required to read in this language if I can't read
It's bait.
>>139126931
But even if I understand the grammar, if I don't know the Kanji used it won't make any sense. Yeah, maybe with children's work in hiragana/katana it might work, but I want to read deeper stuff than that. I don't mean that as an insult to Japanese culture, just saying that I don't like reading things aimed at kids.
>>139126998
did you start learning English with Shakespeare?
>>139126853
>Why do I need grammar if I can't read? I really can't quite understand this concept of focusing on grammar without learning the alphabet.
You encounter a sentence, and if it contains any words you don't know, you just look it up, and that's how you learn new words. Then when you know all the words in the sentence, you apply the grammar and understand the meaning. Rinse and repeat.
I kind of understand where you are coming from, but you cannot apply the logic of english to japanese. You don't need to learn the entire collection of kanji before you start reading. In fact it is impossible. There is not a single person in the world that knows all the kanji there is. Even just learning the jouyou kanji is a huge undertaking, much less in addition to the obscure ones you mention. Expecting to master that before even learning any of the actual language like grammar and words, is like expecting to become a master of chess without ever playing a match. You learn the language by trying to reading and understand stuff you don't know, just like you learn chess by playing matches, even if you are sure to lose in the beginning.
>>139127019
No, I didn't learn English.
>>139127020
But I'm not learning the language, I'm learning the building blocks of Japanese - Kanji. With full knowledge of Kanji it would be much easier to learn the grammar, wouldn't it? I think I can devote a year just to learning as many Kanji as I can and then starting grammar/vocab. Is it that bad of an idea?

>>139127106
>With full knowledge of Kanji it would be much easier to learn the grammar, wouldn't it?
No because you'll never get to "full knowledge of Kanji" (whatever that is even supposed to mean)
>>139127106
I think what he means is that it would be more efficient to learn grammar and start reading CUMPELLING CONTENT because you can learn more Kanjis^TM per sentence and at the same time get a feel for the language and how it works.
>>139127106
>I think I can devote a year just to learning as many Kanji as I can
I'm going through a similar path, but I'm learning just 2000 to begin studying grammar, because I want to use what I'm learning before I start forgetting it.
I'm currently at 1900 words, 5 days to go, dokidoki suru.
>>139127106
Just treat kanji like words rather than letters, because that's a more fitting comparison.
If you were learning english, would you first memorize the entire dictionary before you started actually reading stuff? Of course not. No way in hell you would be able to memorize the entire dictionary without reading stuff, because it is precisely by reading stuff you are able to memorize the dictionary. Except if you are savant maybe. And even if you somehow were able to, it would be EXTREMELY inefficient and frankly ridiculous.
>>139126998
Maybe actually read the fucking guide retard
>>139127106
I was about to write a really long response detailing how wrong you are and what you should be doing, but I'm seriously at a loss for words.
I don't even know what to say.
But to answer your questions:
>With full knowledge of Kanji it would be much easier to learn the grammar, wouldn't it?
No, kanji has nothing to do with grammar.
>I think I can devote a year just to learning as many Kanji as I can and then starting grammar/vocab. Is it that bad of an idea?
Yes, that is a bad idea.
After you do that you'll realize that you learned absolutely nothing worthwhile because learning kanji completely separately is completely pointless when you don't know anything about vocab or grammar.
>>139127158
>>139127176
What's that supposed to mean?
>>139127197
The last two 「な」「い」 aren't actually Kanji, that's kana (Japanese syllabary). And I know the two Kanji, they are 「出」「来」 「exit」「come」.
>>139127257
Good luck to you! I probably won't stop at 2000 though.
>>139127267
But Kanji have distinct meaning that can be decoded via the radicals, basically they have deep cultural meaning. English letters are just sounds, like the kana syllabaries.
Just let him fail, he deserves it for being dumb.
>>139127408
>But Kanji have distinct meaning that can be decoded via the radicals
No you can't.
>>139127408
This is magical. You should teach me how to bait.
>>139127448
He's obviously trolling
>>139127106
>No, I didn't learn English.
How can people respond to you when you open a post with that?
I'll give you credit for putting at least a bit of effort into your bait though. Well done.
>>139127408
I really want to believe this is bait.
I don't want to believe that someone is actually this stupid.
But I know, there are actually people this stupid in the world.
Please be bait, otherwise I really feel sorry for you.
>>139127534
I have no doubt there are people this stupid, but they're somewhere else, not in this thread.
>>139127408

>>139127528
I kinda assumed that he means that he is a native speaker and didn't have to "learn" english the way you'd have to learn a secondary language.
Because as retarded as he is he probably would have started learning english with sheakspear if he learned it as a secondary language
>>139127528
What's wrong with my post? I didn't learn English, it was automated.
>>139127534
I don't get this 'he is baiting' reaction. How is it possible that nobody thought of learning a lot of Kanji before grammar?
>>139127618
Because it doesn't work.
>>139127528
>>139127602
To follow up (assuming it's not bait which it obviously is)
Someone this retarded wouldn't be able to learn English as a second language in the first place.
Would an "easy interval" of 1 day fuck me up? I want to speed this whole thing up but switching my custom studies between new cards and reviewing ahead is getting annoying
>>139119902
>What I concluded that was the only reason these threads can really go into off topic trainwrecks is because people go out of their way to do so.
>>139127643
why not do more new cards per day instead?
>>139127602
there is literally nothing wrong with starting off with Shakespeare whose writing is experimental and full of dynamic wordplay instead of rigid shitty textbook writing

Why? Explain to me like I'm 5 years old please. Why wouldn't learning the alphabet before tackling grammar be a logical and rational way of approaching such a difficult language for foreigners as Japanese?
>>139127641
I've learned a foreign language already. I started with the alphabet just as any sane person would. But I don't understand why it wouldn't work with Japanese.
>>139127643
>I want to speed this whole thing up
Anki is for long term retention.
Long term.
>>139127687
Because Kanji are NOT the alphabet. Kana are. Kanji are more of vocab than they are an alphabet.
>>139127658
Well I'm already doing that but if I have to wait multiple days to review them it takes me ages to consistently remember them I feel like. Sure I can just concentrate more while first learning them and I'm doing that to the best of my ability, but wouldn't brute forcing be more efficient?
>>139127742
you would be right, but only if we were all having a japanese exam in two weeks.
long term retention only happens by repetition and this doesnt men "20 times a day" but "20 times over the course of three months".
its a lot of work, yeah, but no one said this was going to be easy. you can try to "brute-force" 300 kanjis today, but you will have forgotten them all in a month.
>>139127643
>>139127742
Just make a filter deck for card forgotten over the last day and work through it once or twice a day after your normal reps.
>>139127687
KANA is the alphabet, which you should learn first.
KANJI is essentially vocab. It's like learning the shape of words in english before grammar, it makes no sense.
>>139118664
>Maybe but I doubt it. Anyway, time will tell.
I'm fairly certain it was him, Even if it's not, he doesn't have any CoR access, you'll have to email one of the guys on the feedback form about it. I think the random jumbled up email is the current feedback guy.
Stumbled over "かなC" today.
I understand what that is supposed to say (悲しい), but what environment does that しい->C stem from?
>>139127991
Environment? It's just pronounced similarly, why are you over-analyzing

The English letter C is read "shii" in Japanese.
>>139127834
It wasn't, I can say that much because the email of the anon who gave me access to the CoR originally responded to my email and he received a whole bunch of suspect DCMA claims and email from someone using the throwaway email
[email protected]
that was, to quote "strange and disturbing, but not something to worth discussing with other people". This email was from the one that started with uisukii, and I think that was the one the original cor anon posted for feedback. I don't know what really happened but he didn't really say much. I asked for the list of other anons who was given mega accounts so I could try and contact them to see if they had the same happen but he didn't mention it and I don't know if he is going to stay in contact. It was pretty impersonal and a little vague, to be honest.

So why is it that I was able to learn basic english from watching cartoons as a kid, but couldn't learn more than a few words of japanese from watching anime? Is it because it's a harder language?
>>139129515
You probably consumed a lot more english than japanese in total, plus you probably had english in school, right? And while it is not objectively harder, english is probably much closer to your native language so your brain had a much easier time connecting the dots unconsciously.
>>139129515
I don't know about you but anime gave me a very noticeable head start for learning Japanese.
Although now my vocab and grammar skills are way behind my listening comprehension so I need to mute VNs and Anki for the most part to improve those.

What happened to the template, why is the full link instead of the usual shortener
http://bitlasers.com/djt used?
>>139129982
The thread was probably made by the guy who insisted that the bitlasers owner was making money with the link.
>>139129575
I don't know, is Latvian close at all to english? I doubt it. I guess cartoons plus watching youtube commentators as a kid helped me a lot. Spelling was helped by watching anime with subtitles. Most of the things they taught in school I already knew.
>>139129587
I guess that's true, since a lot of the times I hear japanese, it feels vaguely familiar and I feel like I know the meaning, but I don't, because i'm missing a piece to understand it fully. I don't know how to explain it, but it isn't like that with other languages to me.

I guess if anything it increases the SEO rank of my site as it increases the backlink count read by google bots crawling 4chan, but I don't really care if you keep it removed or not, I was just trying to help, as people was complaining that normal link shorteners people set up was always being taken down by dmca requests or something.
