>>139193765
Hostility and elitism is perfectly fine but only when it's directed at the right things.

Your pathetic whining couldn't get imouto banned by the mods, so you resorted to making it awkward for him by spamming all of his posts with autistic arguments and derailing threads. You got what you wanted, he stopped "avatarfagging", probably because he didn't want to be a catalyst for your autistic outbursts, so you can stop now. The only reason I can think of for you continuing is if it wasn't about "avatarfagging" from the start, but an intense jealousy of someone being better at you at Japanese.

Your behaviour is both childish and pathetic. I suggest you take a long hard look in the mirror and reflect on your actions.
>>
>>139193970
I'll stop pretty soon if he doesn't start doing it again.
>intense jealousy
Yeah, that's the deal. You got me there.
>>
>>139194091
He hasn't done it in two threads.
>>
>>139193970
I usually read imouto's posts because I usually learned something useful from it (unless it was an offtopic shitpost), so him not avatarfagging makes his posts a bit harder to find. Would be nice if he'd at least put a trip on so people who don't like him can filter him and people who do like him can find his posts a lot easier.
>>
>away from DJT for a few weeks

>some autist constantly hating on glorious imouto
Whoever you are just wanted to tell you you're a faggot.
>>
>>139194128
And I hope it stays that way.
>>139194146
If you really want to find his posts you still can do that. There's no need for trips, he will just continue his roleplaying.

So can we move on now?
>>
>>139194279
He's a native of the language we're learning and answers questions constantly. That's probably the only case in this thread where a trip is useful or even warranted so long as he's only using it for useful posts. It leaves pretty much no room for doubt when reading an answer.

Finding his posts manually is a lot more tedious because people shitpost in Japanese fairly often. It's not something I can see just quickly scrolling through the posts I missed and I don't want to read every single Japanese post on the off-chance it could be one of his.
>>
>>139194146
The rules are a guideline. They aren't absolute. Everyone on this site would be banned for flaming and trolling if the mods really had to follow the rules exactly.

The point of avatarfagging being a bannable offence is to prevent retarded blogging. Does imouto use avatar status to blog? Not more than any anonymous poster. And he's not banned yet, despite the fact that this idiot has probably spammed hundreds of reports on him.

The worst and most childish part about this guy is that he's decided to take matters into his own hands and actively try to make imouto feel unwelcome by spamming the thread and derailing it. And if that isn't rule breaking behaviour I don't know what is.

Now he's trying to play it down, just look

Asked this on the last thread, wanting to see if I can get more answer now.

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

Also, can anybody open this link about J-J dictionary? I can't seem to open it.
https://a.pomf.cat/ujfidq.torrent

I got the link from this guide, if anybody wondering

As someone who barely spends any time on DJT, coming back briefly to see arguments like this going on, and having no investment in them, really helps to see how flippin' ridiculous they are. It seems the problem with generals is that people make them their home, and want to direct the atmospher and kind of posts that aught to be posted in their home, when in truth the best course of action is to ignore people you don't like and close threads you don't like. Food for thought: If DJT drama ever gets thick, and perhaps you're in the midst of it, try leaving DJT. It's not your home. If you spend every waking hour on here, perhaps with auto refresh, try closing the tab for a couple days. It'll whip you out of this sick controlling mindset, I guarantee it.

How should we know which of the two you are?

Although I actually do know which one you are since only one of you is this much of a newfag. Stop posting if you can't contain your autism, if you had ignored him no one would've even paid attention to him.

It's just easier to talk about a common interest. Not that I won't use HelloTalk, I will. I'm just eager to know, out of the 200 or so regular in djt, I'm sure a percentage of us knows a reliable way to post on 2chan and 2ch.

You just have to search for people to talk to about a common interest. Or when you write up your profile, put in some of your interests.

>>139195350
That's not what しぼる means. It just means cutting down the number of players to 10

How things done gradually change with time anon.

>>139195474
>Any good VPN service that you've tried?
No I don't care enough. Just go to nyuusokur or something. It's probably no worse than kenmou except for the fact that you get occasional gaijins posting shitty Japanese, but hey that's what you're there to do too.
>>
>>139195498

>>
>>139195687
Nice strawman dude!
>>
>>139195498
But they start at 10 each. しぼる seems to mean whittling down the numbers, was fairly certain I got that part right at least.
>>
>>139195613
I'm here posting in shitty English so there's that. I mentioned in the last thread that reddit is blocked where I live. So... I still need VPN for that. I tried to go to some free tunnelling service like vtunnel in the past, but that was blocked too.

hahaha.

Nice fallacy fallacy you autistic faggot.

Hope imouto realizes there's only one real turbobutthurt fag here though.
>>
>>139195736
>But they start at 10 each
I don't know the context of course. But yes, they obviously start at 10 when the game starts. But they have to choose those 10 players. If you have a club with 50 people and can only send 10 to the championships you gotta restrict down to 10 people.

>>139195785
I don't think you even know what strawman means.

>there's only one real turbobutthurt fag here though
Nope, I don't even really care.

But it's not like they don't do the same shit to us when we go to their English learning boards on 2channel. They basically have a "chat in english" containment thread.

I'd like to have natives using this thread but that doesn't mean they get special treatment and can _violate global rule #2 by avatarfagging_ with every post and being a namefag on top of it.
>>
>>139195807
No, there's 10 on the field, and the announcer says the original line I posted right before the game starts, it's one where they have to disable the other team's players. I still don't know what 最も is meant to imply with certainty but I can at least say しぼる is not meaning that there.

I will man, within the next 5 years. Nothing I can do at the moment though, other than venting about internet censorship and deal with it.

Descriptions? Have you even read the post?

He implied that literally the only thing anyone has gainst imouto is that he's posting cute anime pictures.

I am quite glad to announce that, as of now, the new guide has been implemented.

It is currently still open to comments, I'll keep it like that for another week or two before closing it finally. Of course I'll always be glad to receive your feedback via the feedback form or via email. Or in the thread if I'm around.

The older versions of the guide are still available, you can find them linked at the bottom of the document.

For those to whom this whole business is total news, here's a quick rundown of the changes:

-less wordy, more compact and straightforward
-resources section has been moved to a separate document
-Section on learning Kanji is more extensive and (hopefully) less biased towards mnemonic methods
-some minor additions to the FAQ and the Misc. section

Happy learning

There has to be a better place to be such a massive autistic faggot that gets triggered by one user simply posting anime girl pics, krautchan? I don't know but has to be somewhere you can call home, just piss off from here.
>>
>>139196033
People who think with emotions and people who think with logic always clash.

I have nothing against imouto and personally hope he still comes here.
But that doesn't change the _fact_ that he avatarfags. But people who think emotionally will go all up in arms and deny literally anything just because they want him around.

It's pure mental immaturity.

>>139196353
now that the discussion went crazy because no one answered you straight and with certainty and everyone is blind and begging for the imouto to show them the light, ill tell you that 最も can go onto basically any noun to indicate "most" or "the most"

>>139196531
That "if gotten" is saying that learning kanji in isolation does not necessarily help with learning vocabulary, not the other way around.

>>139194763
I made that post after seeing >>139194427
Like c'mon. OK a dude is shitting on another dude. Who cares. Were this a normal thread, that behaviour would be ignored and then the thread would die. Instead, it seems that guy is spending a huge chunk of his time on this particular thread, and trying to make it his home, and trying to control how people act or at least ranting about how people. Thats not a good idea in my opinion. It's best not to make DJT your home and take it so seriously. It's not a good idea to spend so much time here and make it a huge part of your life. It's really best to close the thread a lot and not make the place your home. It's not healthy nor is it a good use of time. This is a thread on 4chan and its best not to let it exceed that in yourself or to let it dominate a huge chunk of your time.

I guess I'm being hypocritical here, trying to dictate how people act, but really I'm just trying to give some advice. If he disagrees and wants to make DJT his home thats okay, I won't be pissed and rant about it, especially since I wont be here to see him ranting because I only come here so infrequently. In fact I just came back to see if anyone made a crying reaction image to "DJT is not your home". I know that hit me hard when I typed it because I spent over a year reading every post on the thread and contributing. But thats in the past. DJT wasn't my home but I thought it was. I don't want other people making the same mistake. But it's ok if they do.

Jesus christ. You faggots do realize it's all the same girls from the same Anime right?

>and the benefits that learning kanji would bring in vocabulary retention will take longer to achieve, if gotten.

Let me modify this just a tiny bit to make it clear how it comes across

>and the benefits that learning kanji would bring in vocabulary retention will take longer to achieve, if gotten at all

In other words

>Learning kanji individually brings benefits in terms of learning vocabulary. If you learn kanji through vocabulary, it may take a while to get enough of a knowledge of kanji that you can make use of those same benefits. Or worse, you may never achieve that level.

Does that make it clearer?

>shouldn't be talking shit.
I'm pretty sure you're the only one talking shit here.
>>
>>139196404
Will do. Thanks for having me.

>>139196531
You mean against learning kanji through vocab? I agree that it may appear biased, but it is indeed the case that learning Kanji individually will oftentimes give a huge boost to your vocabulary retention (in my case it went from 60-70% to a solid 95%). I hope that it's clear that this takes lots of time, and that it may not be worth it for everyone. If you have a better formulation to express this I'd be glad to implement it. Let me know or best leave a comment in the guide.
>>
>>139197329
>If you learn kanji through vocabulary, it may take a while to get enough of a knowledge of kanji that you can make use of those same benefits. Or worse, you may never achieve that level.
You broke context. The section of text is about "learning kanji giving benefits to vocabulary retention", not "learning kanji through vocab giving benefits to vocabulary retention". "If gotten at all" applies to "benefits to vocabulary retention in general", not "benefits to vocabulary retention from learning kanji through vocab". It's a non-sequitur for it to apply solely to via-vocab because there is no logic or tone present for such a connection.

>I'm pretty sure you're the only one talking shit here.

Take: >it definitely doesn't sound like that.
>>
>>139197377
>I agree that it may appear biased, because I am biased
I see. Anyway, my main beef was with your implication that you may not ever achieve those benefits if you learn kanji through vocab, which is just false. People who learn kanji through vocab still learn kanji nonetheless. They can see a kanji and name off words that contain that kanji. At that point the only real difference they have with people who learn kanji individually is writing. I would also personally suggest mentioning that doing a little bit of radical study and/or individual kanji study (without necessarily learning all ~2500 Jouyou) may allow people to get a decent amount of the retention benefits from being comfortable with kanji while enabling a more vocab-centric method of study.

- Somewhere in your guide, you should add the wiki link to kanji. Section 4 and section 6 of the wiki link for kanji is especially useful.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji

- Tl;dr of my 2nd feedback to you is this, I think it would be beneficial for newcomers if you write somewhere on the guide about Tae Kim that Tae Kim himself said that his guide are meant as a supplement.

Or at very least, write that if learners found Tae Kim's Basic Grammar Section to be confusing, read other books instead, before coming back to Tae Kim's Essential, Special, and Advanced section.

--
The long story is this, I've bought Tae Kim's book and read it while idling on DJT even though I've completely learned fundamentals previously. Initially I did it without ever looking at his homepage. I did read some of his entries, but never his hompage.

Personally, I think his Chapter 3: Basic Grammar section was way too simplified, and some entries on that chapter, like the の particle table, he doesn't explain anywhere near enough.

He just made that table about 飲まないんだ・飲むんじゃない・飲むんじゃなかった and was done with it. That was jarring and nowhere near enough explanation.

I then look at his website and found this written there

>If you are taking Japanese classes and you want to get a better understanding of how things work, the Guide to Japanese Grammar is designed to supplement your studies

>supplement

I didn't learn fundamentals through genki either, but I've check out a couple pages of genki. Also check out a couple pages of minna no nihongo.

- My opinion is that I think you should put an asterisk that Tae kim himself said that the guide was meant as a supplement. Or at least write somewhere that if Tae Kim's Basic Grammar Section is confusing to you, then read some other books before going back to Tae Kim. His Essential, Special, and Advanced section is pretty concise and adequate. So there's that.

>I agree that it may appear biased, because I am biased
I can't really deny that given my personal experience with the matter.

How does this sound?

>By learning Kanji through vocabulary, you will not learn individual kanji in isolation, and will instead learn entire words -- which are to a large extent composed of kanji. The drawback to this method is that you will very likely not gain the ability to write words or kanji from memory, unless you actively practice this alongside your vocabulary study.
You will still become familiar with individual kanji since they often recur in various words and hence you will most likely also be able to recognize kanji that you have encountered before in new words and even guess their readings correctly (sometimes, readings of individual kanji and kanji in words are highly variable). Studying radicals of kanji (as mentioned above) may also be beneficial to vocab retention. While not as strong as when learning kanji individually, studying radicals may still help you with kanji recognition and retention and thus also grant some benefits to vocabulary retention.

Since many learners have no interest in being able to write Japanese by hand, and just wish to read. Since it is entirely possible to read Japanese without having studied individual kanji, and just learning words instead, there exists a trade-off in terms of spending more time on kanji and less time on vocabulary early on in return for better retention later.

>You will still become familiar with individual kanji since they often recur in various words and hence you will most likely also be able to recognize kanji that you have encountered before in new words and even guess their readings correctly (sometimes, readings of individual kanji and kanji in words are highly variable)
just kinda sounds awkward. I would just take out the part about readings. Guessing readings as a skill is something you have to pick up with experience no matter how you learn kanji since readings are so unreliable. So there's no real reason to specifically mention it in the learning through vocab section.

One last thing, the Dictionaries section of the Lookup Resources is a bit lacking on J-J dictionary entries.

First off, I'm technologically challenged, if not an idiot. I have an embarassing question for you about the guide.

I'm using my personal google account when viewing the new guide and I accidentally pressed spacebar and made an edit to the guide.

Which I then backspaced. When I edited it by accident I could see "edited: add space" by myname lastname.

Did you (and everybody) managed to see that or was it just written as "edited by anonymous" at your end? I just prefer to be anonymous is all. Was that too late because I stupidly pressed spacebar?

After a few reps they will stick more, that's the point of Anki. I always get stuck on a handful of words and spend a lot of time on them, but then the next day those are the ones I remember the most.

I've gotten to the point where I know hiragana and katakana well enough so I'm studying Genki 1 (with removed romaji). Should I load up the core anki deck and study that alongside it (I was thinking about 30 words a day)? I'm asking because Genki has vocabularies it wants you to learn after each exercise so maybe having too much vocabulary may be a bad thing.
>>
>>139200852
You have impaired short term memory.

Set your new card graduation interval to two days. Set your new card steps to the default (1 10).

Set the lapse minimum interval to 1 days. Set the lapse new interval to 10%. (This way lapsing mature cards reverts them by 2~3 Goods, not resetting them to 1 day instantly) Set lapse steps to (10). Note the lack of 1. This makes it so that lapsing a new card and lapsing a rep after it, the new cards always come first, unless you go 10 minutes without finishing your new cards.

Go into preferences. Go to "Basic" tab. Select the second dropdown and set it to "Show new cards before reviews".

These settings will reduce the load that SRS has on your short term memory without affecting how SRS behaves in the long term.

(cont)
Even if you dislike the two day interval for graduated new cards, do it anyway. It cuts the number of reps you do for cards that you've never gotten right in half without affecting cards you've gotten right at least once. If you really dislike it, instead of ignoring it and using a one day interval for graduated new cards, study your new cards a day in advance instead. Note that if you study new cards a day ahead like this, it shouldn't be in the flash card format, so it might be a little inconvenient but you'll have to make a filtered custom study deck and study it via the card browser.
>>
>>139202383
>It cuts the number of reps you do for cards that you've never gotten right in half without affecting cards you've gotten right at least once.
Sorry, I got this backwards. It cuts the number of reps you do for cards you've never gotten wrong in half without affecting cards that you've lapsed at least once. This way your short term memory problems do less to cards that you're doing fine on.

If you're using http://pastebin.com/raw/yhDP2CwF you could also copy the log at the end of the day and save it into a text file each day and go by the size of the text file to see how much you read that day. That helps me make sure I'm reading enough every day.

I want to learn kanji but I still don't know how to approach it

for those who learnt using RTK and are say, advanced in their studies, when you read, how do you do it in your mind. is kanji so common now that your mind already knows the meaning of the word in the sentence or does your brain go

kanji---->story made for remembering the kanji--->word

sorry of it seems an stupid question
>>
>>139206895
Ahh, I think I understand. I'm looking at DoJG, and it says "and, what's more, but also" and all the examples make it seem like it's used as "blahblah....and in addition...this."
(今日はテニスもしたし映画も見た)
I was wondering where the "this" was in Koiwai's sentence, or if he was just trailing off like, "Jimbo can you do the work of two people and....."
>>
>>139207341
>I want to learn kanji
No you don't.
>>
>>139207341
kanji->mnemonic->english translation->japanese meaning->word

Takes me about 5-10 second to process each kanji. Compound words are a bitch
>>
>>139207341
The story is mostly just there as an initial anchor. It'll fade over time (don't force it to fade out though) but the general concept you have in your mind about it should stay enough that you still know what it means and have no issues distinguishing it from similar looking ones or knowing what it "means" (as long as you learn vocab containing those kanji).

It's kind of like translating to English in your head when you first start reading. Eventually it becomes easier and faster to just read it in Japanese and not really try to parse and translate it in English terms, especially for trickier grammar that's hard to translate literally. Sort of the same thing here.

i dont know your situation but probably structured curriculum is probably the way to go. rtk by itself doesnt do anything but make you recognize kanji so if thats the primary thing you do and arent backing it up with practical application, youre ultimately not doing as much as you could be

>>139207478

I'm listening to the radio show that comes with volume 8 of NnT. Fuck, my listening skills are horrible. I'm done with Core 6k, and my reading ability reflects that, but my listening skills are terrible.

I'm actually finding that the difference between listening while playing minesweeper and listening while playing Civ V isn't all that big in terms of how much of the audio I'm picking up on, so I think that I'm going to turn the sound off on Civ V and go back to playing that while listening.

Or maybe I should bite the bullet and just go watch raw anime episodes. It's going to be a bit of a pain, but that'll ensure that 100% of my attention is aimed at what's going on in the show.

I've never seen this mentioned around in the guide or in the threads (maybe I've missed it) but the best way I found to practice kana reading (after writing each of them 50 times obviously) was to play this shitty ass flash game http://learnjapanesepod.com/kana-invaders/

It's really easy and it's easy to "game" it (by just spamming combinations until it work) but it really helped me a lot in getting that instant-recognition feeling with the kana.

Anybody else has any opinion on it?
>>
>>139208427
>Anybody else has any opinion on it?
There are literally hundreds of shitty flash games for kana and kana is at worst the first week or two of your Japanese learning so what you do to learn them is pretty irrelevant. .

>i dont know your situation

I'm currently learning grammar with "minna no nihongo". I don't know if it's too early to start with kanji (currently on chaper 11) but I want to start now, classes are somewhat boring

I was planning on learning kanji the same way I learnt hiragana and katakana, writing it thousands of times. it was quite effective for me and honestly i didn't find it tedious

has anyone here learnt them this way, by repetition?

We don't need any more kana-learning programs. The fruit on the lowest part of the Japanese-learning tree was picked dry ages ago. If they want relevancy, they need to aim higher.

writing is effective but the world is changing and everyone is stuck to their screens from a much earlier age

any book thats teaching you grammar probably changes up the vocab a bit with every unit. thats what i mean by structured. it forces you to use the vocab and grammar for the unit together

General kanji shape -> instant recognition

Instant recognition doesn't occur -> look at the radicals

You'd be reading slow as fuck if you had to stop and look at the radicals of every single kanji that you encountered.


>>139207940

>i dont know your situation but probably structured curriculum is probably the way to go.

Language learning is one of those few cases where structured curriculum is NOT the way to go. What you need is massive exposure to the language as expressed by natives through reading and listening, and compelling content that will hold your interest and make your mind receptive. The structured elements are necessarily, but are in a supporting role rather than a leading one.

I have an issue understanding a portion of text in よつばと, it's the top-left speech bubble from the dad.

It says:
とーちゃん手がはなせないからな俺の分もよつばがふってくれ

He's telling her to wave on his part. The 分 in this case refers to his share of the waving which he can't do at the moment.

of course you need to be around people and things in addition to the academic stuff

academic stuff isnt even necessary if youre exposed properly but it will teach you the whys and hows behind stuff

however the one thing you left out is two-way interaction which is why language exists in the first place

You're going about this all wrong. Even people who might be sympathetic to your cause are going to think you're a total ass for spamming fake "on-topic" posts, and are actually more likely to report you than anyone else.

It doesn't even make sense either. You simulate on-topic posts to help show how off-topic djt is? You could do 10x the damage by just posting an alternative version of the OP image.
So your reasoning actually sounds more like an excuse and you're just being a douchebag because you're butthurt about something that happened.

I'm also curious if you even browse /a/. Do you even watch anime?
You want me to believe that you care about /a/ and like anime and yet have no respect at all for the /a/nons that want to learn Japanese? I don't buy it.

The best solution is to just stop answering questions/helping people if you don't want your time wasted and answer questions if you feel like taking the very high risk that the question you're answering was made by an autist who doesn't actually want the answer and is just trying to get the thread banned by flooding it with fake on-topic posts (not sure how that's supposed to make any sense but whatever).

It's the characters. Take a look at our letters. Now look at this:

くそビッチ

While the characters represent more than a roman character, they take up more type space. Also, verbs take up a lot of space.

I mean. Japanese words take up less space in japanese writing than english words in english writing, but japanese characters are bigger; they follow a blocky paradigm. Roman letters are thinner, much simpler, and much closer together.

>implying that there's some correct set of goals for learning language

Your use of the language is whatever you want it to be. If your interest is purely in Japanese media, you don't need to focus on being a good talker.

Or maybe you're a checkmark polyglot who learns 2000 words and some basic grammar for fun before claiming to know the language and moving on. That's valid, too. Why? Because you got what you wanted out of the language, which was to have fun learning it.

There's one class of reasons that are invalid, and that's vague shit like "it might be useful someday" or "it might help me along in my career". If you don't have a specific purpose in mind for the language, it probably won't be useful to you, ever. Find some goals regarding the language first. If you can't find anything concrete that you consider meaningful, don't waste your time.

>>
>>139217677

Don't just accuse people of having a double standard. You need to explain where it lies.

Learning a language isn't just some light weekend activity. If you fight through hours and hours of learning and have nothing to show for it, you just wasted your time. In the end, you'll just forget everything that you've learned due to neglect. A language that you get nothing out of and forget due to disuse is good for your well-being... how? It's honestly pretty stupid. You could have done literally anything else with that time. That's why you need to find some use for the language before you start, even if it's simply that you want to learn more about their culture.

The worst are the ones who blindly believe that learning a language will increase their earning potential. Not every career path benefits from bilingualism, not every language offers a lot of lucrative opportunities, and it usually involves spending large amounts of time in the country where the language is spoken. Learning a language for money is great, but if that's your purpose, you need to understand what that entails, and have a solid plan.

Some of the basic introduction is interesting, but when their recommend course is essentially to either take a college or pay for WaniKani, it's easy to see why so many people in that subreddit fail to make progress. They also overemphasize the JLPT and make no mention of consuming native material.

If you followed their guide, you'd learn kana and then spend years grinding your wheels re-reading Genki 1 and 2 while doing WK, and consuming nothing else. It doesn't actually guide you to fluency, or even competency.
>>
>>139218639
It also doesn't have the detailed guide to resources and commentary on how useful they are.

>>139218639
It also doesn't bother mentioning TK (with whom they had some sort of argument) nor JtMW but still recommends Imabi (the imabi guy is well-known in the subreddit IIRC). But yeah, the worst is the fact that Japanese media seemed to have been ruled out as a proper learning method. You either grind grammar through textbooks or you prepare for the JLPT, which is rather stupid in my opinion.
