Does this look right? If not, then can someone explain it to me? I'm really new at this.
Is KanjiTomo not opening for anyone else?
Does anyone here take medication to help them study? I would look into talking to your doctor about going on a low dose attention deficit medication to help you focus and put more energy into your learning. I had it prescribed to me based on family history. I was tentative at first, but it really makes a world of a difference. I'm motivated, productive, and I'm no where near the zombie I was afraid it would turn me into. I just wanted to share my experience with you guys to see if it can prevent someone from deciding 出来ない。

Sounds like a terrible idea, to be honest. Using medication that is for a certain neurotransmitter interaction for someone without said imbalances is just asking for trouble. Fortunately in my country there is no way on earth anyone would be able to get the sort of medication you are talking about without an evalulation from both a general practitioner and a registered psychologist. Where do you live where they hand out medication so irresponsibly?

You ever been to college? At least in the US, they hand out Ritalin and Vivance like candy. Book a (usually free) consultation with the university psychiatrist, say you have trouble focusing, take a five question evaluation quiz ("Do you feel like you struggle academically? Y/N") and bam, a fresh prescription, no further questions asked. ADD medication is one of the most bought/sold drugs on any campus because of it's A) availability B) practical effectiveness and C) relative lack of side effects.

How horrifying but it also provides some explanatory power as to how university kids present themselves in social media and the like, in respect to university life. Thanks for the explanation, I had no idea it was like that.

It looks robotic, but grammatically correct. Remember to use 私は sparingly, and omit as much as possible when speaking casually
i.e., 毎日、日本語を練習するよ
"every day I practice Japanese"
ーします is good, but if you have practiced the ーて いる patterns, I think that would be a better way to express that idea.
i.e., 日本語を練習しているよ
"(these days) I'm practicing Japanese"

Why not? It clarifies and makes it flow better.
The trap for beginners is using 私 every sentence in a paragraph. 私は大学生です。私は二十歳です。私は妹がいます。 etc etc
That doesn't mean you should warn them against using 私 in even a single sentence, and it's not like the 私s are usually the only cause of awkwardness anyways.

Did anyone else stop answering questions after the spammer admitted to autisticly flooding the thread with fake questions for the past 2 months?
>>139162310
He was probably lying.
>>139159626
>they hand out Ritalin and Vivance like candy
This is just untrue. ADD medications are Schedule II controlled substances (ie on par with cocaine) that suffer constant shortages. You can't even legally get a refill on a prescription without physically going to your doctor for a new one.
>>139162310
Yes. It's hard not to doubt any questions which are posted by themselves now.

I had a feeling something was off with the threads for the past month or so though, so that post pretty much helped confirm it for me. In any case, I'd rather him not waste any more of my time than he already has, I've likely spent hours of my time answering fake questions posted by him, so I'd rather play it safe and just not answer any questions.

What the fuck is wrong with you? This is a thread on 4chan, not a fucking call centre you have to spend hours a day responding to people calling in with questions.
You sound like someone bitching about their shitty job. Get a fucking grip and take a break from these threads for a bit.

No, you enjoy doing something which you feel makes you a better person than others.
You are extremely insecure and delusional.

>>139163583
Not really, not sure why you think you've got me all figured out or some shit. Are you projecting your own motives onto me or something? It's disheartening to know when I'm helping someone out and taking the time to type a response, I'm not actually helping them because it's just a fake question no one is actually asking.
>>139163708
oh man you really shouldve went to go read or whatever. like im behind you 100% but replying again to that dude at this point is a bad look. fuck him

Yeah, true. I wasn't going to anymore after that one anyways.
Is there any way of swapping the data in the Meaning and Reading fields for multiple cards? My first 200 cards are okay, but the rest of the cards I've been adding through rikai got fucked up like this.
>he pretends to be an educator
>on an anime image board
>he takes his job very seriously
>backseat moderating
>for free
This thread is an autism magnet.
>>139163933
Change it in the card formatting, but you might mess up your 200 older cards depending on which fields you were using there
>>139164275
I overestimated, it's just 50 cards. I guess I'll have to manually edit them then.
>>139164312
Wouldn't it be better to change your 200 cards so you can keep adding cards using rikai?
I read Tae Kim, read some other grammar guides, and am 1000+ deep in core. I tried reading Love Com and couldn't understand the first page while looking up the words I didn't know. I'm not really sure how else to study/practice.
Should I just keep reading grammar guides, and try reading manga next time?
Please no 「できない」 bully.
>>139164312
You could also export and flip the fields on re-import.
>>139164354
I'm going to change the old cards and continue adding new ones with renamed fields.

It's a reddit meme
>>139164569
oh tell me more about reddit
>>139164442
I think you should continue trying to read it even if it's very difficult. That's just how it will be at first. Go through each sentence and look up both the words and the grammar and try to make sense of each one, slowly. More than reading grammar guides you should try to understand how things are used in context.
That said it will get easier once you know more words, sometimes trying to remember the meaning of each one in a sentence can overwhelm your ability to parse the grammar at the same time.

just keep reading, its going to suck at first no matter what.
I started reading like 5k words into core and it was still hard cause I had not practice before that.
Also if you arent already I would recommend doing listening practice also
>>139164442
I might try something else if it's the first thing you're trying to read as I believe there's a fair amount of Osaka dialect in that which may throw a beginner off.
You can ask questions about specific things you don't understand here, though you might get some bully.
>>139165049
He was actually here for the last 10 years and has been spamming the site all this time. 3/4 of all 4chan posts are his.

Do you guys correct people when they post incorrect Japanese? I don't see too much of that going on. Is it just more effort than it's worth?
>>139164973
You can can? I thought normally everybody can't. I'm just about to start visiting 2chan and 2ch from now on, to try to practice production skills.
My impression from 4chan was that non-japan IP can't post on 2chan and 2ch. We can?

to illustrate it another way you know how people say "you must be new?"
this goes double because (i dont know your situation but if youre asking how to post to those boards here, its fair to assume) not only do you know all the injokes and culture fully, you also dont know japanese life shit

Wait! Wait! I ran all the way to this airport and bought a ticket just so I could catch you before you board that plane.
So, you're up and leaving me? I get it. I mean, I can't say I didn't expect it. We both knew, deep down, that this wasn't working out.
But, maybe you can tell me why you're leaving, specifically? I had to buy this $830 plane ticket to Portland, OR just so they'd let me through security so I could get to you. Not to mention, security really gave me a hard time. The least you could do is give me an explanation, anon. Why did you just up and leave? Maybe I can improve myself, so that next time this doesn't happen. I don't think my heart can be broken too many more times before it's broken for good, anon. You know? I'm just too old for this.
What could I have done better? What could I have done to make you stay?

>>139171218
Maybe it wasn't clear, but by "stick your face in a book" I was trying to imply that you can read content from that language literally anywhere you see it as practice.
But you're limited in Japanese unless you have access to a computer/dictionary or don't mind drawing every kanji you see to locate them (which I what I meant by not doing it "efficiently")

Look faggot. What I'm saying is imagine you ate a magic pill that automatically gave you the ability to know the exact readings of every single Japanese word you run into.

>>139171614
It would shave a lot of time off but you would STILL want to learn kanji because of the benefits they give to being able to figure out what words mean and how they make words much easier to remember in general. Even if everything had furigana you would be hurting yourself to not take advantage of kanji.
>>139171357
You play as a girl romancing the gay looking boys.
>>139167526
I've been wondering about this too. While in order helps recall the context/sentence I encountered it, it also means that sometimes all the new cards are just a burst of very specific terminology.
Though I guess it doesn't really matter, since I'll have to learn it all anyway.
>>139171834
I can't tell if you're intentionally trying to miss the point and coming up with minor technicalities.
So whatever dude. Learning Japanese vocabulary is no more difficult than any other language I guess, you win.

The thread is full of people who spend more time shitposting than studying so they wouldn't know what is "correct" or not.
Every time I've posted something in Japanese longer than a few words, it has been copy/pasted from 2chan and there is always one or two people who sperg out about it being wrong and to stop trying, without explaining how. It's mildly amusing to watch an anon fly headfirst into a post trying to make fun of it when it's obvious he doesn't have a clue what it means.
People here don't know shit, is the long and short of it. It's the same relatively small group of regulars for the most part who probably don't even study.

>learning japanese from outside japan and not around japanese people is a fools endeavor in the first place realistically and practically
This would hold true if it were impossible to receive massive exposure to Japanese as expressed by natives outside Japan.
Thankfully, DJT has discovered a solution to that: It's called Japanese media! It is readily available and easy to find in many places around the internet! This comes in just about as wide of a variety as you could hope for. If you're looking for more than just anime and videogames, you can look at podcasts (includes convenient samples of unscripted Japanese), news broadcasts, newspapers, documentaries, live action television, home videos, and just about anything else that you might want to find!
This media also happens to be a superior source, often providing things of interest and calling on more knowledge of the language than what's needed in everyday activities in the name of spiced up language and topics that aren't typical to daily life. A successful DJT denizen will acquire a vocabulary that's much larger than that of the average foreigner living in Japan. As such, should they ever decide to begin pouring a lot of work into their output, they'll have the groundwork to become far more articulate than your average foreigner.

>>139158905
Since it seems wise to try to make a backup of the CoR that can be easily shared, I have gone ahead and downloaded the entirety of the LN and learning material tabs in the CoR, and created torrents for each of the sections. They contain everything that is currently there, including the files that were uploaded in the thread over the past couple of days.
Altogether there is 63gb worth of learning materials and 145gb of LNs (of which 130gb are scans, and the rest text or ebook files). The only notable thing I believe I am missing is the All in One Learning Pack, which has not been reuploaded.
I think it would be worthwhile for at least a few people to attempt to archive these materials in case a large number of links go down again. The torrent files are here:
>Light Novels - a.pomf.cat/suaxwl.torrent
>Textbooks/Learning Materials - a.pomf.cat/iadoot.torrent
You will need to enable the DHT network in order to download from me.
The manga that still remains amounts to 370gb. I don’t have enough hard drive space to download that much, so I’m not able to make a backup of it, but if someone else has sufficient space it is easy to do a mass download using JDownloader. You could also make your own backup of the other sections using JDownloader if you didn’t want to join the torrent.
Why are you guys so hostile tonight?
Holy shit mods just ban all these fucking clowns
>>139173640
Great, the spammer is back and trying to shit up the thread again
>>139173576
But there are still too many words I don't know. Not to mention that the more I read, the more difficult material starts to become accessible, leading to even more new cards. It'll stop one day, right?

>It'll stop one day, right?
You'll burn out way before it 'stops'. You need to cut down your new cards now and rethink how you decide which cards you need SRS to memorise and which you don't.

>Well as long as the sanitary issues are cleared then its not bad
The reason its bad is because you think of Korea as a developed nation
I know associates who associate high commodity prices with "developed nation".
In developing nations you can conveniently get a open air meal (prob street food?)
If its done properly it should be fine to eat.
Japan has the same reasoning, hence loitering while shopping exists
Because you are eating at normal stores or open air stores its bad.

Sanitary issues are a problem because you think of it as a developed country
It's actually just a developing country that happens to have high prices (which is what tricks people into thinking it is a developed country) and if you understand that then you can realize how to get along there.
In a developing country you can't just go eating street food
You're fine if you eat at a real place
Sanitary issues are a problem because you go around shopping and eating as if you were in Japan
>>139174176

We should all quit Japanese because there is no way for us to learn a single thing unless we are chatting with people live in the streets of Japan.

an example:
saying "ass" with a higher pitch voice is a *different word* from saying "ass" with a lower pitch. then saying "ass" with some kind of up->down pitch fluctuation is yet another different word. basically where pitch is used to differentiate words.
on top of that, i think pitch accent might also include "melody". then it would also be considering pitch in languages where pitch doesn't change the meanings of words. for example: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0StNBnCkut4
the same sentence, in english and chinese. but the english sentence is spoke with a chinese pitch, and the chinese sentence is spoken with an american-english pitch

>>139177601
When I went to Japan, I found that while Japanese people could generally understand me just fine, there was this Chinese guy who spoke fluent Japanese who couldn't understand me at all, because he relies so much on pitch accent for meaning so when I get it wrong he has no idea what I'm saying.
>>139177810
not yet. from where are you learning about this stuff? i thought tae kim explained it very well, maybe better compared in his video.
>>139177919
I looked at both Tae Kim and Japanese The Manga Way and still don't really get it. Perhaps I just need more exposure to the two.
>>139177810
No, it is quite difficult.
Watch this video, it does a good job at explaining one aspect (but there are some others too): http://www.gwu.edu/~eall/vjg/08particlewa/08particlewa.html
One thing you need to realize is that は is a bit different to particles like が、を、に etc in that it is used together with another particle, to modify its meaning (like mark conversational coherence as explained in the video above). When you see は alone, it is usually actually either が、を or へ plus は. For these particles は replaces the original particle so it looks like it is は alone, but for others it is simply appended, like には、とは etc. も is also like this, it kinda has no meaning on its own, it needs to replace or append to a separate particle. So when you are asking the difference between が and は、you are also asking the difference between に and には、 を and は、と and とは, etc etc.
At least this is my understanding after 3.5 years of studying, but it might still not be entirely correct. As said it is difficult.

Why would you do this?
I know, compelling content and all, but there's no doubt that reading things before you have the grammar nailed down and a large enough vocabulary that you're not stopping at least every few sentences to look something up is not quite as fun or relaxing as reading things in a language that you fully comprehend. It's basically ruining that work for you.
Read things that interest you, but that aren't one of the big reasons why you started learning to begin with. Keep those works at the end as the big reward that's dangling in front of your nose. When you knock that shit out of the park, you'll know that you've made it.

I've studied this on and off for years, and now I can comfortably read most manga and light novels.
However, my lack of real grammar study (I just learned it by trial and error so far) means that my knowledge breaks down when I try to read actual books.
What's a good book for grammar? I don't care about the rest of the content, I just need something that's good to understand how to properly read a structured phrase. I tried Tae Kim but it's too sectored off for my tastes, I need something that organically brings you 'through' grammar in a logical progression.

The way a language book usually works is that it gradually introduces new things, and you're guaranteed to only have examples phrases for each new concept that only contains things you've already done before it.
TaeKim however feels more like a grabbag of things picked out on their own. It's informative if you want to know specific things, kind of like when you don't know a word and you open a dictionary, but it doesn't feel like an organic learning experience.

However, I don't know them 'properly'. I know that a ず edning usually carries a negative connotation, I know that はず generally means "Should have", I know たら implies cause and consequence.
But they're all isolated pieces of whole rules I should know. I can read with no problems, but it's more like I' cheating through the language than actually having a good comprehension of it.
And I didn't say I know everything in Tae Kim, how did you even get that from my post?

There are no whole rules. If you want to know the specific situation where each grammar structure should be used in production I would advise that you pick up some JLPT prep books. They should be in the CoR.
This is going to be a weird question but is 音 only used to "natural" sounds such as vibrations and atmospheric movements? the entry I have seems to imply that.

maybe I'm overthinking it but it feels like there should be another word for "noise" or "sound" when caused by like someone pushing a clock off a table and the sound that ensues.
>>139181325
It's used for sound in general.

How long is the JCAT test on average? And is there any point in doing it if I've been studying for only 3-4 months?
>>139181325
You are misunderstanding, it is referring to the fact that all sound waves moves in a medium such as air or water. 音 means sound in general, any kind of sound. There are plenty of compound words describing more specific categories of sounds like 声音、雑音 etc

Bumping this questions in case anybody that are currently here now knows and want to help.
Anybody here regularly visit 2ch and 2chan? Can I ask how to be able to make a post there from non-japan IP? I want to start practicing my production skill through conversations.
Also, where can I download VN games if it's not available on nyaa?
Esp. Vita games, like Prince of Stride for example.

>>139181584
I haven't found a way to post on 2ch but there are plenty of other forums in familiar formats. Here is a very active subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/newsokur
Many VNs can be found on for example steam, mangagamer, magino drive etc.
hey what's the name of that american bloke who made videos on youtube teaching drunk japanese, nama sensei?
Does anyone else practice reading out loud? I've been practicing lately with the Bakemonogatari books but damn, it's really difficult especially since Nishio Ishin likes writing ridiculously long sentences.
>>139181792
Yeah, Nama-sensei. His videos are currently down since youtube is trying to jew him out of his youtube money but they'll be back up eventually.
I think we've got all of his videos archived in the google doc, but not sure.

What is this character saying when he draws his sword?
Sounds like bato but I can't be sure.
I know very little of japanese but I would just like to know why he'd be literally announcing his sword draw like that, or if it's translated incorrectly.
Please no bully.

Do you have any proxy service recommendation I should look at? Paid proxy is fine too, as long as the price is reasonable.

I meant generally speaking my dude.
Though it's true that the first game I noticed not available on nyaa was Prince of Stride, hence the question. I was asking more in general.

>>139185056
4chan is just obscure enough to avoid the censorship. They ban everything that deviates from religious law. They ban imgur too for example.
I am currently going through げんき and I have memorized about ~100 kanji from kanjidamage, also I am doing daily memrise exercising on the げんき lectures.
I want to step it up a bit and start trying to read something, very simple mind you, if possible a visual novel but even just some "fanfic" or novel/story that is easy to read (maybe just for toddlers? I don't know), however I can't find anything that suits my (still) very basic knowledge of Japanese. I tried reading through the resource list from the thread and all the "basic" or "beginner" ones seems to be still a bit too hard or complex for me.
Do you guys have something you would recommend or is it simply just too early for me?

Never done genki but I started reading Aiura after getting halfway through Tae Kim and it went just fine.
And by fine I mean that I had to look up basically every single kanji all the fucking time but I could still follow along and understand the jokes.
You should probably be able to handle anything in a school comedy slice of life setting with furigana.
Challenge yourself. Rise up to the occasion. Do the impossible.
>>139185176
That sounds pretty broken
I'm still learning so please correct me if I'm wrong but this should be better:

The only time you should refer to yourself as しもべ is if you're a tomboy or a trap.
Are you a tomboy or a trap, anon?

>The only time you should refer to yourself as しもべ is if you're a tomboy or a trap.
I ain't but I ain't the one that made that sentence.
Anyway jokes aside, as somebody who's learning Japanese but is not very far ahead, isn't 僕 used as an informal pronoun by males? All the textbooks seem to suggest to use 私 however in a more colloquial sense I see a lot of 僕 being used as well. Or is it bad?
>>139185656
I actually live in Japan, I still don't care one bit about their traditional culture, being able to speak the language and following the law should be enough. You can't make me care, Japan would be just another boring fucking country without otaku culture.

Probably something around 300 bucks. You can get relatively cheap shipping with SAL on honto.jp. Buying second hand on amazon is also a good way to save money since everything that's in "good" condition is practically flawless. I even picked up a special edition of the Joshiraku series for half the price of the regular one like that.

Because of fags like you that think it's okay

I think that should work.

Long time ago, don't remember. I can upload it somewhere, if you guys want it.

It's obviously not me who's doing it. Every time /a/ tries to do carry out any sort of project hordes of newfags will share about it on their facebook feeds. There's no point trying to maintain "operational security" at this point. Madokami is simply too accessible and that will be its downfall.
