What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all - the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.

How many new cards per day in anki is a good number to not advance slowly nor get overwhelmed by the number of repetitions you'll get later on? Does it depends heavily on the person?
>>139499843
Welcome back.
>>139500433
I do 20 upper body cards on mondays and fridays, and 20 lower body cards on wenesdays. It's important to take breaks to let your mind rest.
>too lazy to do reps right now
>>139500433
50 if you're the least beat serious about learning Japanese.
Getting overwhelmed by reps depends on how well you concentrate and remember them. 200 reps of words you can recall is better than having to handle 150 words you hardly remember.
Just make sure to ignore the again% and click again whenever you struggle. Then study those words in a cram session for maximum gains.

At least finish the basic section of Tae Kim.

I've never studied with the JLPT in mind much, but is this common? Or is jisho simply wrong?

Okay, I'll bite. What's wrong with it?
>>139501090
it literally looks almost like something i would write as a joke
holy shit im actually ruining djt
>>139501045
Probably wrong since as you can see it's like the 200th most common kanji, so it's probably actually N3 or N4

Flyable Heart. I tried it and quit multiple times. The first scene isn't bad, but then the dad comes in and talks too much and way too fast. Then I'd quit. Actually, all the guys in FH talk at least 3x faster than the girls, but the dad is like 10x faster.

She also seems to properly clip her audio so there isn't a second of silence before and after too, which saves me the trouble of having to edit it in audacity. There's one other one that usually has pretty decent sounding clips, but I forgot her username.
how do you study both anki and tae kim
how much on each to you spend time wise daily
>>139503053
The beginning of Flyable Heart is really hard if it's your first native material (or close to it), but you get used to it and you can re-read it after your first route if you want. I hated the dad for the same reason towards the beginning, but I was able to keep up with him when reading the lines towards the end after finishing multiple routes.

未来は誰にも分からない。
I know that this phrase means "Nobody knows the future", but how does it mean that? Translating it literally with the grammar I know (I've only learned Tae Kim's basic grammar so far), it means "Who also knows the future" or something like that, it doesn't make sense.
>>139503381
Open a new lesson, take all the new vocabulary, throw the shit into anki, spend two days with the new cards (first day learning and second day reviewing), then read said lesson. Review older lessons in the meantime.
>>139503381
TK is one of those things that takes such a short time to complete compared to the full amount of time you're going to spend learning Japanese that it doesn't matter. Same as stuff like kana and stroke order.
Just hurry up and be done with it. If you're taking too long then do less anki (or even do none if you want). If you're going too fast through TK and want to slow down just a bit so you can absorb it more then do that.
Just don't spend forever on it. Once you finish then that's when the real game starts and you're in the same boat as 90% where you have to start acquiring vocab and doing reading practice.

>>139503552
if you want to be more literal about it "the future is unknown to anyone"
maybe just that by itself helps you make sense of にも otherwise just keep living your life until it makes sense conceptually regardless of trying to force it into an english translation literally bit for bit

I warned you, you piece of shit, but you went ahead and posted anyway. I will find you, I will fucking kill you, and you will suffer in the process, all the while knowing that you are the one that brought this fury of shit upon himself.
Just before I pull your atrophied, twisted spine right out through your asshole, tell me. Was it worth it? Making that shitty "epic" memepost of yours, being fully aware of the consequences? Will you be happy knowing you threw your life away over something this fucking stupid? Well it no longer matters. None of it matters. Because in the end you'll be leaving this world the same way you came into it. A bloody, screaming, pathetic infantile pile of blubber.

After dropping Flyable Heart halfway through the common route (no heroine routes) I'm personally finding the start of 星空のメモリア considerably easier to read. There are far less absurd and surreal situations and the narrative flows smoother for me. Then again it could be subjective.

you russian? i saw some study once that showed everyone gets happier as they age, around 20 being the average worst part of everyone's lives, beyond that continuing to get happier until death. except in russia, where it was the opposite, and around 20 was the happiest time and after that they slowly get more and more depressed until death. but really, you've never met a happy old person? i've only met one of the stereotypical crotchety old person, who had dementia... most of them i've met seem pretty satisfied and jubilant.
>>139506351
Healthy mobile old person who aren'tt in homes and who aren't in debt are happy as fuck. They live the neet lifestyle on a big ass pension
>>139506614
>i saw some study once that showed everyone gets happier as they age
Correlation is not equal to causation. More and more depressed people kill themselves as they get older bringing the average happiness level up
>>139506672
i hope you do your part to make sure everyone else is generally more happy in the future
>>139506724
I'm watching anime and learning Japanese to read untranslated pornography. I am way ahead of the curve on the pursuit of happiness
>>139506672
i never implied that old age is the reason they're happy, just that in most places, old people generally are happier. also it's not like there's only happy people and suicidally depressed people, there are those in different emotional areas, and non-suicidal depressed people (like the russians in this case) so i doubt those who commit suicide would skew the statistics so much.
>>139506850
you dont gotta convince me dude
>>139506335
Not him but he was clearly implying that old people do say it in real life. I doubt you didn't catch that, why'd you pretend not to get his point?
>>139505939
The other person can just look at the text box below your face and see.
>>139506879
>i doubt those who commit suicide would skew the statistics so much.
Assuming people who kill themselves are the least happy people even if they are a tiny amount removing the outliers with abnormally low happiness will increase the average happiness

Hi /a/
/o/ here wanting to ask someone for a translation. I would normally try google translate but its very unreliable and I'd rather get the authentic symbols from you guys. I want to get a front windshield banner on my car that says "I love big anime titties" in Japanese, but how would that be said using hiragana/Katakana?
>>139507108
So, what you are saying is that we can increase the average happiness in the world by killing sad people? I will do it, for the good of the world. I will be known as the Hitler of Happiness.

They went through High School which covers a lot of the historical terminology we gaijin would struggle with.
Even if you lightly read 小説 you'll still come across 3,000 kanji pretty quickly (Muramasa uses 3,100)
Even natives would "struggle" with Muramasa, in the same sense that you or I would "struggle" reading any 詳しい work regarding something outside our field. Open up random physics pages on wikipedia and try your luck.

If you have the motivation and diligence to spend your time reading and learning about stuff, there's a good chance you won't be a NEET.
Unless of course you have a serious social anxiety disorder.
>>139508855
Oh nevermind the folder name says mojibake.
>>139508927
>what is hatred for people
>go back to untranslated H-manga that I read years ago and liked even though I couldn't understand it
>I know everything that the characters are saying now
Holy shit, this feeling of satisfaction.
>>139508927
>Unless of course you have a serious social anxiety disorder.
Live in the country-ish area. Refuse to drive cars due to various factors. No one nearby will hire, couldn't go to college. NEET. Training on bike and hoping to move and get a job in a city-ish location but no college degree bodes failure.
>1:23am
>still need to do my reps
Part of me wants to not do them so that I have a reason to kill myself.
>>139509161
its all everything elses fault and not my own
>>139509239
You have less than 2 hours to finish those reps. Get to it.
>>139509244
I'm not sure if you're implying I feel that way, but I certainly don't. It's MY choice not to drive cars (though it is a choice people should be glad I made, I SUCK at driving). It was my choice not to go to college because I didn't want to take loans out (didn't get scholarships). It's not strictly my fault I didn't get hired by the many places I applies but of course it's ultimately my fault for existing.
>>139509239
This image looks fucking awful.
>>139509328
its up to you to figure out how to overcome all that shit. to me it looks like you only found reasons not to do things as opposed to reasons to do things
>>139509328
>It's MY choice not to drive cars (though it is a choice people should be glad I made, I SUCK at driving)
haha holy shit
fucking everyone sucks at driving at first, retard. it's something you get better at with practice. have you seen the kind of morons able to drive? do you think you lack some kind of motor or multi tasking skills for it? fuck off lmao
>doing reps
>stretch
>see elbow out of the corner of my eye
>freak the fuck out because I thought it was a person
>fall off of my half broken chair
>knock phone off table
>it breaks
>my reps wern't synced
Is there a way to force a sync wirelessly? I doubt it
>>139509239
what's so bad about doing them?
>>139509525
I don't suck in the normal sense. I got my permit. However, I space out and suddenly notice myself in the left lane, or else going way too fast. I make dumb mistakes, often, like double taking and swerving left by accident. I drove for over a year and came close to dying every time I got in the car. I swore off it after a call far too close. I'm not comfortable risking my life and others lives driving. I won't "get better" at spacing out or anything. And thats not even all of the problems with my driving I just dont want to rant about myself for too long.
>>139509499
Didja miss the last part? Training on bike to overcome lack of car. Moving to city for access to more jobs and potentially public transportation.
>>139509747
what?
>>139509801
How long have you been a NEET?
>>139509747
my good man, that is fucking funny. how tired do you have to be for your proprioception to stop working?
>>139509801
>Training on bike and hoping
i dont believe your seriousness is anything better than half assed at best for doing the shit you need to do
also read 車輪の国向日葵の少女 im sure a good part of it speaks to you
>>139509747
You have anki on your phone and you aren't doing your reps in bed or on a couch?
>>139509976
Close to 2 years. You may have noticed I said "training" on a bike, thats because for a year I sat on my pc 16 hours a day in apathy/inertia for a long time, and got so unhealthy I could barely walk for 30 minutes without breathing hard, actually developed a heart disorder called POTS. Even if I got a job right now I wouldn't be able to do it without being exhausted within an hour. Therefore, have to exercise.
>>139510064
I have pre-made and stone solid plans to move before the start of the next college semester. I can't really do anything but "hope" for a job, not like I can exert undue influence on part-time pizza shops or whatever which would be the ones hiring me.
>>139510306
That's really interesting, please keep us updated.
>>139510368
in japanese though
finished the whole hiragana set for the first time, was doing it for 3 hours while watching twitch.
>>139509747
Did you just got mind raped by anki and lost your sense of self?
>>139510368
Sure but the next college semester is in like 4 months. It's OK to forget about me.
>>139510420
おｋ

Same here. Don't let it happen to you, young NEETs.
How do you guys keep yourself motivated?
I have a Japanese exam in less than two weeks and I want to try to learn for it every day.
>>139511915
I don't.
I just do the work out of habit and inertia.
>>139511915
I have no motivation, but I do it anyway.
>>139511915
I just watch anime and learn more every day
>>139511915
no motivation, i just do it. like the other guy, developed it into a habit. the only real way to keep doing something
>>139511915
I don't.
Just do reps, and fit in reading if I can, motivation rarely comes.
>>139511915
Just do it every day until it becomes a habit. You can only will yourself for a few days. After that, you just make it part of your daily routine.
「居合」

This kanji pun had me laughing today.

That would be funny, but no.
I was wearing a different sweater to normal and my mind instantly decided that it must be someone else in the room and panicked.

>>139517891
It's pretty much like anki and in that sense it's great. Focus on reading and "linqing" (mining) words. However there's not a lot of need to pay for it because... well... anki.

its referencing the state of things/situation
>>139518882
You're meant to remember the pronunciation as well as the meaning, so having furigana on the front kind of defeats the purpose.
If you still want to have the pronunciation on the front then you can so tools>manage note types and edit them that way

What is DJT's opinion of meeting people in person for conversation?
I am not convinced this is a good use of time. If you can't say something or say something wrong, and dont get corrected (and record your correction for future use) then i dont think you can remember things.
Is there also a way to pace the conversation such that it touches on certain specific grammar at a certain time?
>>139520597
>>Is there also a way to pace the conversation such that it touches on certain specific grammar at a certain time?

Jack off to K-on doujins and make up your own dialogue to conversate back
>>139520633
No no, i just mean you want to make sure you cover grammar such that you dont miss anything.
If you always talk about the same things you will never see certain grammar structures appear.
I guess you could try to talk about different topics every time that are varied.

Basically, you can tell exactly where you are in the game by just finding your place in the script. I am right around 80% of the way through right now. I wonder if this sort of script dump is available for various other VNs, be it broken up like this or not?

>>139528119

>>139528034
It's just a different concept in Japanese...
Why did the nihonjins get rid of ゐ and ゑ?
>>139528141
Maybe you don't know, but the hard part about a word with many meanings is, besides finding the right one, knowing all of them, or at least the useful ones.
>>139528093
Whenever I see かける I just completely ignore it and try to piece together the meaning of the sentence from the rest of the words. I hope someday I will actually understand it.
>>139528251
Too fuckin' lazy
>>139528259
Just memorize one or two at first, and learn the rest as you see it used in context. Not too hard. It's not like children freak out when learning words like "run" or "go" that have a million different meanings. They just worry about the ones that happen to be relevant at the current time.

I don't get anki. How do I practice ALL the vocab I've learned so far in my main stack, in random order and past the daily limit?
>>139532296
You don't
You can review cards that are going to show up again in the next N days with a custom study though
>>139532296
>How do I practice ALL the vocab I've learned so far in my main stack
That defeats the purpose of anki in the first place. Did you even read the manual?
>>139532326
I guess that works, but isn't that gonna bring in the "x new cards" a day? I kind of want to solidify the ones I've learned so far.
>>139532364
I don't see how practicing outside of the daily defeats the purpose.
>>139532473
Review cards forgotten in past N days
おにいちゃん
ううんなんでもない
It is normal to have to review 100 kanjis every day in anki or am I just an あほ?
>>139532632
>only 100 a day
I thought you wanted to learn Japanese.
>>139532626
Fuck off already, you are not welcome here.

>>139533081
Everone thinks they have it so hard having to remember thousands of kanji l, but at least they have comprehensive resources!
I commend those pioneers who had to study that shit FROM SCRATCH, without cute anime girls to make the trek easier.
Hey guys can you help me with what the second line here says?
person1- 本当に入れるけどいいの？ (spoken out loud)
person1- 別に身体の心配をしれるわけじゃないんだけどね・・・ (thought to oneself)
I'm really not sure what that しれる is implying
>>139533801
Cause?
Don't try to read to much into sex scenes.
>>139533801
Is he fucking a corpse?
>>139533801
ほどほどにね
>心配をしてるわけじゃない
じゃないかな
>>139533801
is this person a robot or monster of some sort
>>139533801
>he can't even transcribe properly
>>139534007
i think he is just clearly showing no concern for the hole
>>139533827
What do you mean cause?
I have to read into it I wanna translating it
>>139533930
No a loli
>>139533968
So it would be "it's not like I'm worried about her body though?"
Seems kind of mean
>>139534007
Nah just a loli
>>139534021
That's what it says on the page nigga
>>139534047
Translate*
I just woke up like 30 minutes ago please forgive me
>>139534047
He's saying her body is a train that stops at every station
>>139534047
yeah the dude just doesnt give a fuck about the bitchs hole thats why しれる it is of little consequence
>>139534099
>>139534116
Hmmm fair enough feels a bit weird in the context but I could see that being what they're going for
Sure hope that's right
>>139534228
Don't think people will give a shit about accuracy during sex scenes...
>>139499519
>this meme is evolving dangerously fast
That's because the owner is desperately pushing it.
>>139534919
Or it's because of people doing it out of spite for that one guylike me
When do you think someone should get into reading VNs and stuff for practice? How much vocab / what sections of Tae Kim finished?
>>139534919
Indeed, the same way bitlasers push the light of knowledge directly into your retinas. Drink your bitlasers, kids.
>>139534953
This, I don't give a fuck about that dude's business, I just joined in because I thought it was funny and wanted to spite the guy who was whining about it.
>>139534980
>How much vocab
Up to you
>what sections of Tae Kim finished
All of them
>>139534980
Vocab wise literally whenever you want. You'll have to look up words anyway, doesn't matter if you've studied for a week or a year. Just depends on how patient you are.
As for grammar just the basic section in TK is enough for the often recommended starter VNs and Manga, but go for essential grammar if you don't want to guess.
>>139501551
They have standards which inhibit most of /a/.
