This is the new thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5IPArDxO40
so is thatreddit's V2Kdeck legit?
I feel like I don't get the DOJG anki deck, specifically how you review. I just press Easy on everything because I felt like I understood it on the first see. And the reviews the next day are super boring because it just shows me stuff I already know. I just want to do new cards without reviews, but I think this kind of defeats the purpose. Maybe it's because the beginning is so easy since I did TK.
Am I doing something wrong?

Man some of the pictures being used for these threads are great, I for one am glad that we decided to let people change them up
I was a way for a long time. I wonder which autist started this stupid shit with OP pictures. One picture was a good way to prevent double threads. There was also one reason less for people to shitpost and a little bit less metaposting. Are you proud of what you did, faggot?
>>143048597
Except no one here complains but you.
>>143048518
grammar structures are pretty tough to forget
if you really want to keep looking at them with minimal context then you might be better off just reading the dojg books or leafing through the cards on your own time instead of using anki to review them
honestly though the deck and book are kind of superfluous
I haven't found a single use for them, looking up grammar on google or alc.co.jp is just always more efficient for me

The DoJG Anki deck is one of the worst things ever made.
Grammar should never be done through Anki - unlike vocab, it's too complex and context-reliant to be squeezed onto flashcards, so you either have these enormous cards which are awful for the quick recollection that Anki is designed for, or cards which miss a lot of the depth and subtlety required to actually understand the grammar point in the wild. Consulting DoJG is good and useful, but you should learn grammar from reading. Attempting to do it through Anki will only cripple your progress.

Yes, they're really comparable.
>>143049018
I mean you can put all the random information you like onto a flash card, but the purpose is to memorise things, and smaller flashcards are easier to memorise. Obviously.
>>143048518
>Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, you're using the DOJG in a way it was never intended to be, and in a format completely unsuited to it.
>>143049098
I don't read the whole card, just the example sentence and the mini card on top. I only read the entirety when I don't get it. So it is pretty quick and easy to do.
So... I recogize kanji I have learned on the Anki flash cards instantly, but the moment I see them somewhere else (like on here) I often struggle. Do you think it is because of the size of the kanji? Can you think of any other reason?

You do realize that the grammar deck has a bunch of example sentences? It let's you understand it just as well as encountering it while reading.
And what's wrong with learning grammar before you need it? By your logic vocab decks are useless as well.
>>143049098

It's purpose isn't hammering every single detail about every grammatical point in your head. You just familiarize yourself with the grammar. It's a tiny deck. It doesn't put any additional strain on you if you don't go full retard doing 200 cards a day. What's the drawback?
>>143049171
Learn vocab.
>>143048883
What a Wonderful World.
>>143049248
I don't particularly support learning vocab before you encounter it in the wild either, you should do Core to get a foundation but after that all my words are mined when I encounter them.
>>143049323
The deck has a sum count of the total amount of hours you've spent in it, right? Post it.
>>143049248
Not the guy you're replying to.
>And what's wrong with learning grammar before you need it? By your logic vocab decks are useless as well.
They are. Spending 3+ months reviewing flashcards before ever touching genuine native material is a horrible idea. I don't understand how it ever took root.
It strikes me as a sort of malignant perfectionism ("I can't start reading until I've memorized every last detail about the language! I can't allow myself to make mistakes! I have to be perfect before I start reading!").
>>143048508

Because it hasn't. Every time people ask when to start reading the answer is as soon as you want, with the "the sooner you start the more you need to look up" warning thrown in.
Stop fucking whining about things that don't happen, are you the same guy that complained about how /djt/ was too rude towards people posting their handwriting when that happened in literally one thread out of like 100?

Not him but here's mine. When it's grammar I already know I either suspend it right away or click easy when I'm not sure I can recall it at any moment. I also suspend all the repeat cards you get the next day.
I look at the grammar's basic introduction, try to translate the 10ish sentences it gives me, look at the proposed translation, think about the differences and then move on. I'm pretty confident this is worth my time.

>I don't particularly support learning vocab before you encounter it in the wild either, you should do Core to get a foundation but after that all my words are mined when I encounter them.
And what makes you think there's a difference between finding vocab through reading then adding it to a vocab deck and encountering a vocab for the first time in core itself instead? In core you have the example sentence, when mining you have the context. Both slip into irrelevance after like 3 lapses, or do you know even half your mined vocabs' origins?
Whether you learn grammar before or after seeing it in native material and whether you learn vocab before or after first encountering it while reading doesn't matter. It's not something you can't understand without "true" Japanese as your context, in the end everything grammatically right works as context.
Stop preaching your own learning method so hard, it makes it really obvious that you're just trying to convince yourself you're not doing anything wrong, which is already a pointless worry in itself.
Time to try again, surely this time I wont give up, right?
What fine high literature are my fellow gentleman of /djt/ reading?
Is there any point after which you might as well start anew with a fresh deck?
Some anon in one the last threads I think had a good point about font size in anki correlating to recognition.
Sometimes I would be reading and have to stop at a kanji to look at it more closely. I knew the kanji, but I had to take a double take. Lowering the font size in my decks has improved my reading speed.
Maybe it's just because I'm still shit, but lower the font if you're having this problem.

Do you remember the reasoning for it? It seems to be the conventional wisdom around here, but personally I find it so much harder to study vocabulary from so long ago that I remember nothing about the context.

>>143050428
A fact about Anki that for some reason is not very well-known is that it has smart intervals. Say you do 100 new cards one day, but the next day do not review them. Had you reviewed them, at default settings, the next "good" interval would have been 3 days. But you didn't - now say you leave it for another week without reviewing them, then go back and review them. Now the "good" interval will be much larger, because you actually went a week without seeing them, so there would be no point in having the interval be at 3 days when you just proved you went a whole week while remembering them.
This means that you should do your reviews instead of starting a new deck because you won't waste your time relearning things you already know.
See http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html#frequently-asked-questions and pic related.
Am I supposed to be writing new kanji down as I go through my Anki reps?
>>143050998
No.
>>143049706
>are you the same guy that complained about how /djt/ was too rude towards people posting their handwriting when that happened in literally one thread out of like 100?
Entirely unrelated as no one says that someone should cram vocab for three months prior to reading anything but anons always sperg out when someone posts their handwriting, or any sort of production that isn't textual shitposts. I have no idea why you would even group those two together, unless you were one of the anons who found that personally offensive to have someone bring it too attention.
That's pretty dishonest, trying to sneakily add that at the end. Like a political party tacking a shitty trade agreement at the end of a bill that everyone else supports but wouldn't support on its own.
>>143050998
if you feel like it helps you remember kanji, sure
>>143050782
>Kinda lame in retrospect
Yeah because you gave up and had not even like 1000 cards. You really only came here for shitposting so you'll probably end up giving up again.

>>143051038

>>143051084
If you want to learn to write then find some exercise books or do an isolated kanji deck. Anki isn't designed for output studying, you'll just make your vocab review sessions way too long.
>>143051038
>unless you were one of the anons who found that personally offensive to have someone bring it too attention.
I didn't find it offensive, I found it annoying how you (I'll assume it was in fact you) called out /djt/ on its predictable sperg responses or whatever you said when in the very same thread there was a handwriting post and not a single rude response.
It's fine that you're calling out unnecessary shitposts for the greater good, but stop exaggerating like that. How /djt/ sometimes shits on beginner production is rude, sure, but it's not like 100% of responses to them are that way. Not even half of them are. So the way you trashtalk /djt/ in its entirety is entirely uncalled for, it just makes it seem worse than it is and new guys will believe you and be scared into not posting production themselves. If you want to improve the climate do it by encouraging beginners rather than shitting on shitposters and in the process on the whole thread itself.
The way you acted like /djt/ tells people to do core2k and nothing else in the mean time is wrong as well. Yeah, some say it and a couple more seem to actually do it, but the more common statement is still to read ASAP. Same as above, instead of whining about what's wrong start telling beginners to start reading early on yourself.

>>143050782
It's not core, it's mined vocabulary.
>>143050826
With mined vocabulary, I only have the dictionary definition to go by, which is often too vague to really get the word, so I find it extremely helpful to remember the context, which helps explain exactly how the word is used. But I might just be overreacting, the sentence I keep at the back of the cards seem to help me enough and if I find something that I've completely forgotten and can't make sense of from the example sentence, I can always just delete that specifically.
>>143050926
That's a good point. I have to click again on the majority, but the few cards I do remember instantly enter mature territory.

Hiragana. This advice might be wrong and I didn't do it myself, but you can probably put off katakana and just read/learn grammar/anki with a katakana table open in another tab. It's relatively rare and if bruteforcing in realkana is not your thing it might be fine to only do hiragana for the time being.

>>143051554
Considering Japanese is only really as hard as it is because of the writing system, and Korean has the easiest writing system in the world, I'd imagine it would be quite the breath of fresh air
The grammars really similar too
>>143051588
>Korean has the easiest writing system in the world
Cyrillic and Greek is easier than that.
>>143051605
Why?
>>143051625
Roughly same amount of unique symbols (~25), but in Korean you also have to learn how to combine then.

I tried to study it for about half a year. Grammar is very similar, and there's a decent amount of vocabulary originating from Chinese that's shared between Korean and Japanese. Hangul is obviously much easier than kanji, about on the level of learning the kana. Pronunciations are a bitch, nowhere near as straight forward as Japanese. But worst of all, and the thing that made me ultimately drop it, is the lack of compelling material. Every minute I tried to study I was just reminded how much more I enjoyed studying Japanese thanks to being able to learn through watching and reading stuff I love.

Just cap your reviews to a sensible level until you get through the piled-up ones, then remove the cap again when you've got things back under control.

Press "enter", then "space".

That happens to me sometimes when I try to access google stuff through Tor.
Are you using Tor or some sort of proxy? If you're on Wangblows, maybe you've picked up some sort of virus that is manipulating or otherwise interfering with your internet traffic.
>>143052897
I know I would
I've met more than one ADHD prick
I fucking hate them

How do you look up Kana you haven't seen before? I literally cannot work it out and can't search it because I can't type it.
It should be illegal to create kanji words that look like katakana
七夕
夕べ
>>143052699
I watched my first anime in 2004 and read my first untranslated VN in 2010
I think I started studying in 2007

>ぞい子 seiyuu is some complete newbie
>didn't feel like the voice fit too well
>everyone else was pretty much perfect
I hope it won't sound as bad when I actually watch the anime
>>143052338
This image is used mostly for trolling purposes but this is the first time I've seen it fitting PERFECTLY to the situation.

I don't know what I was expecting
ウフフ。。。
今日はだありんに
ご褒美をあげまーす
"Uhuhu, today I will give darling a reward"
or something like "Uhuhu, today darling will reward me"
>>143053513
the first one

>あげまーす
>what did she mean by this?
Did you at least read the grammar guide?
>>143053549
thanks
>>143053155
I agree on 夕べ, but where does 七 look like katakana?
ヒ is completely different.
Another example would be 口コミ.
>>143053603
I will get to it really soon, I've only been doing vocab
>>143052699
I've been watching anime for years now, and I knew the kanas before hand (studied when I was really, really little, never forgot).
About 2 months and half ago, I got a grammar guide, read it, and attempted to translate stuff.
It was like a challenge to myself to get a sentence and figure the meaning.
It worked, I can enjoy my mangos almost perfectly despite the need of a dictionary/OCR all the time for kanji and vocab, which is steadily improving.
Next I'm reading Oregairu and is also coming along, although feels a bit harder than mangos, but almost getting the hang of it.
Lastly I'm working on coming up with sentences here so I can finally shitpost on 2ch.
こんな感じで
キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━ッ!!

ワロタ面白くなったらすみません。(｡•́︿•̀｡)
Anyone else want to learn Japanese to read erotic VNs but then just jerk off to the images on some booru and then lose all motivation?
>>143053690
You probably should. Reading without doing DOJG is one thing but reading without essential grammar can be a pain.
>>143053757
Use self-control and stop fapping to anything that doesn't have a lot of japanese text
(also don't skip the text)
Wait, people here skip text?
I read every single h scene.
>>143053798
Not him, but fapping while reading kinda sucks. It's not strenuous enough to make me lose my boner, but it still takes so long to get through a scene that my dick is sore by the end of it, and the more aroused I get the more I'm willing to focus enough to learn new vocabulary.
>>143054395
Read more so you learn to read faster
>>143054413
Of course, but specifically I think it's better to learn by reading other stuff, since there's a limit to the amount of erotic stuff most of us can manage to read in a day without exhausting our dicks.
Why do ankiboners happen?
>>143054974
Maybe you have come to associate Japanese exclusively with sex
>>143054974
Your brain's trying to get you to pass out to stop the mental pain that reps cause, by redirecting all the blood in your body to your dick
>>143048346
I like you too
>>143055273
>>143056457
I wish I had a cute girl to なでなで
any anons know of some Japanese qualifications other than JLPT that I could get.
Im UK based.
Idc if its a course or w/e, I just need a non-shit CV.
>>143056492
>なに
そうですね。俺の「なに」は暗記をするたびに凄く勃起する
>>143056841
Why not JLPT?
>>143057000
He couldn't pass N5 so he needs something easier
>>143056841
You can come over and suck my dick if you want and I'll write you up a nice looking certificate
>>143057000
To have a JLPT and another qualification would make him stand out more, I guess?
Though being British is in itself a qualification to the Japs.
how does one look up grammar
what does そのせいで mean
>>143057175
Just googling the phrase is usually fastest
>>143057096
Sorry anon, I don't need a microscopy certificate.
>>143057175
It's just その 所為 で
>>143057175
>look up grammar
You learn it and stop being a pleb guessing your way through sentences.
>>143057175
Watch more anime so you have a native understanding of grammar
>>143057000
Already have N3. Going to sit N2 in December.
But thats literally all I've got in terms of qualifications atm, hence why I'm looking for more shit to put on the CV.
>>143057233
なんてむごい火傷
Why is it that in JAV girls are almost always unshaven, and in VNs girls are almost always bare?
Reminder to get out of this hell hole as soon as you can start reading light novels and mining your own vocab.
>>143057397
Because 3D and 2D are different things
>>143057446
I wonder where all the interesting people went
All anyone talks about here anymore is anki
>>143057517
We found the most effective method, that's all. After a thousand threads or more, we perfected the art of Japanese studying.
>>143057550
Most effective method of becoming suicidal maybe
>>143057550
This pretty much. Not much to discuss anymore unless you're too retarded to read the guide or you forgot to do your reps.
>>143057129
>Though being British is in itself a qualification to the Japs.
Is it?
>>143057550
We are far from perfect, we need to fold the thread thousands of times more
>>143057569
I went to the Remember the Kanji school and still passed the N2, I don't think DJT proposes methods worse than RtK
>>143057397
too hard to animate
and i wish JAV girls would discover the razor, bush hides the prize
>>143051464
What site is this, is it the realkana equivalent for hangul?
>>143057397
JAV girls are old sluts, 2D girls are for the most part young and pure.
>>143057690
Yes. A Jap employer will always choose a Brit over an American.
>>143057764
The censor does that anyway
>>143057550
s boring as hell here now
I just check this thread a couples times a day out of habit
>>143057690
Only if you're really posh and speak with a perfect Standard English dialect (bonus if you're a blond loli ojousama).
Average britbong would just scare the nips away.
>>143057446
DJT has become the number one barrier to my studying. I waste so much time here that I could be spending reading or something, but I can't stop coming back.
>>143057904
Most Brits who speak Japanese have a clear English voice anyway.
Americans have "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME" annoying and loud English accents and try too hard to sound like their animus when speaking Japanese.
>>143057904
Ah, that sucks. I'm a northerner so I just sound like scum.
>>143057883
I've dropped down to once a week, threads are pretty pointless now.
Speaking about accents, how well do you guys sound in Japanese?
おはよう。 皆ってきつい勉強してるのか...糞カキコってだめだよ
>>143052023
Where to get new game! volumes
>>143058187
I sound pretty good to myself at least, I always read aloud whatever I'm reading anything because I love how it sounds, I've never recorded my voice though so fuck knows, I probably sound pretty cringy
How good do I have to be so DJT becomes pointless enough that I won't keep coming back and go read something instead?
I want to get off this ride
>spending time on djt even though you dont want to
youre better than this anon, just close the tab bro
>>143058267

How long will it actually take for me to learn hiragana and katakana?
How soon can I read Yotsuba and start learning kanji?
>>143058512
3 days
>>143058531
Wow, that's fast!How long will it take to learn 2500+ kanji tho
Is the 繚蘭会寮 a typo? After all it's the school's dorm, not the 繚蘭会's dorm.
