Aren't you going to get some new books?
You've been posting Joshiraku for at least a year
>>143269867
I got a second book
Somehow I finally found a thread that isn't 450 posts in. Too bad I'm not home and wont be able to do my reps until I get home.
>>143269867
I will actually. Going to Japan next month and staying in a hostel that's right next to Akihabara.
I just hope that I'll be able to fit everything in my suitcase on the way back.

山の中に、一人の赤鬼が住んでいました。赤鬼は、人間たちとも仲良くしたいと考えて、自分の家の前に、 「心のやさしい鬼のうちです。どなたでもおいでください。おいしいお菓子がございます。お茶も沸かしてございます。」
と書いた、立て札を立てました。
けれども、人間は疑って、誰一人遊びにきませんでした。赤鬼は悲しみ、信用してもらえないことをくやしがり、おしまいには腹を立てて、立て札を引き抜いてしまいました。そこへ、友達の青鬼が訪ねて来ました。青鬼は、わけを聞いて、赤鬼のために次のようなことを考えてやりました。
青鬼が人間の村へ出かけて大暴れをする。そこへ赤鬼が出てきて、青鬼をこらしめる。そうすれば、人間たちにも、赤鬼がやさしい鬼だということがわかるだろう、と言うのでした。しかし、それでは青鬼にすまない、としぶる赤鬼を、青鬼は、無理やり引っ張って、村へ出かけて行きました。
計画は成功して、村の人たちは、安心して赤鬼のところへ遊びにくるようになりました。毎日、毎日、村から山へ、三人、五人と連れ立って、出かけて来ました。こうして、赤鬼には人間の友達ができました。赤鬼は、とても喜びました。しかし、日がたつにつれて、気になってくることがありました。それは、あの日から訪ねて来なくなった、青鬼のことでした。
ある日、赤鬼は、青鬼の家を訪ねてみました。青鬼の家は、戸が、かたく、しまっていました。ふと、気がつくと、戸のわきには、貼り紙がしてありました。そして、それに、何か、字が書かれていました。
>>143270369
About a month in, ~130 mature cards in. I've been taking it slow to improve retention, I was at 5 new cards a day a few weeks ago, barely got up to 15 yesterday. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be back up to 20 again, but right now I want to get my retention to 80% (70% right now).
>>143271106
「赤鬼くん、人間たちと仲良くして、楽しく暮らしてください。もし、ぼくが、このまま君と付き合っていると、君も悪い鬼だと思われるかもしれません。それで、ぼくは、旅に出るけれども、いつまでも君を忘れません。さようなら、体を大事にしてください。どこまでも君の友達、青鬼。」
赤鬼は、だまって、それを読みました。二度も三度も読みました。戸に手をかけて顔を押し付け、しくしくと、なみだを流して泣きました。
>>143271106
>山の中に、一人の赤鬼が住んでいました。赤鬼
Yeah I watched re: zero too
>>143271081
Is it just ナンバー?
I get the feeling it's just ナンバー.
>>143271204
Nah, most people call it シャープ.
Official name is 井桁
>>143271143
I had the same problem when I started. You will realize after some time that your progress is super slow. I tried after some time to increase my new cards and you get used to it pretty fast. Retention will go down but on the long run you will get a higher retention. Try 40 new cards and increase the intervalls. Otherwise you will learn forever
>>143271297
well, in the context of something like #0624
i'm thinking you would read it ナンバー ゼロ ろく に よん
>>143270825
シャープ or 井桁
>switch IME to japanese
>shift 3
>press space to get to kanji henkan menu
>IME tells you pronunciations
>type きごう
>look through the massive list for the symbol you are interested in
>ime tells you how it is pronounced
although it may give slightly less common names for some things, like アステリスク for ＊ when people might just call it こめ
You can also literally just type ＃ 井桁
>>143271321
I just feel that would lead to burnout. I don't mind learning forever, I'm still learning new English even if I've known it since I was a toddler.
>>143271106
面白い..finally something interesting to practice with, thanks
>>143271415
what about the one on a phone
what's that one called
>>143271106
>>143271147
Not really the most original story
>>143271379
Why would it be ナンバー anyway I would read that as "pound" in english
>>143271321
>increase the intervalls
SERIOUSLY DON'T DO THIS SHIT
I increased my intervals back when I started out and it fucked me over in a long run. Don't fucking rush cards to maturity.
>>143271379
In that context Japanese would read it as シャープ or シャープボタン when speaking about phone number.
>>143271437
Do you actually think Japanese people give a shit about the difference between ＃# and bother to distinguish them?
>>143271379
Yes it'd probably be number.
>>143271457
So if you get first place in a race, i.e. #1, you're "pound one"? No wonder you ended up leaving the EU.
>>143271416
You will probably be frustrated that you can't read nor speak after 3 months of learning and then stop like most beginners. Even if you would burn out you could still decrease your new cards. You should just try more at the beginning to see how it works out. At the beginning everything about the language is new but if you just jump in then you can probably draw some connections
>>143271479
>Don't fucking rush cards to maturity.
Oh sorry I meant steps not intervalls
Thanks for pointing it out
>>143271435
>boring ass 昔話 anybody who watched more than 3 anime shows knows already
>interesting practice
The hell do you usually practice with?
>>143271435
This story was bland as fuck. Read momotarou instead, at least that story has some monkey rape in it
>>143271484
those are literally the same and that's not what I'm asking
in english the phone button is always called pound but can be read as "number" in a context like lucky dragon #5
anyway i saw it in the context of some phone buttons so it's probably シャープ
>>143271565
>The hell do you usually practice with?
boring daily life passages. never practiced reading anything mystical in japanese yet
>>143271536
On the other hand, I've been picking out words already. I'm actually a month in a half, and I'm not really in it to stop now. Especially when this is something I've been putting off for 4 years now. I'll take it slow, it's really not that bad.
>>143271638

There were supposed to be 3 symbols there but 4chan ate one of them

The problem is I'm a gook so I look like them
>>143272615
I'm mostly scared about Kanji, I heard that's a real pain to learn, is that a hassle fuck
>>143272940
English, first year in their program i think
>>143273598
yeah kanji is a pain
do you know gook? if you do then you at least might have an easier time with grammar, or so i hear
>>143273729
it's a similar system with putting wa/ga/de/mo/etc in the middle, etc
however the Korean ~ga is ~de in Japanese so it's confusing as fuck when you use it
>>143273817
i heard that about the letters too
in korean apparently the little components determine all of the sounds but in japanese haha no one gives a fuck に and こ are completely different
at least kanji have predictable pronunciations somewhat often though

Are there any LNs for adults? Like, not teenie bopper drama... but actual storytelling?
Or do you just have to go straight up novels for good reading?
When ever I try translating, I usually end up trying to use direct translations which is a problem.
Maybe I need to study grammar more, but how do you usually do it?
>>143275705
>not liking teenie bopper drama
>>143275705
Read Monogatari
>>143275721
why are you translating in the first place?
you usually do it by determining the best way to carry over the meaning and nuance of a sentence in english and then writing that down
requires more english skill than japanese really
>>143275705
>LN for adults
>LN literally means targeted towards teenagers
That's the same as asking for shonen targeted towards adults.
Try Hakomari though, it's genuinely well-written if my opinions are worth a damn.
>>143275957
This is what I figured, honestly.
And I will try it, thanks anon.
>>143276074
Oh and also, if you want to read Hakomari, the first volume might bore you a bit. It really reads like your typical generic fiction at first, but I feel it picks up later on. The first volume still manages to keep you interested in the end though, so I don't think you'll hate it.

So what's the difference between ように and just に

Is the second one even right? I'm confused on this nuance.
Do people actually buy this stuff?
>>143277056
Of course, I chose the " Nekopara2"
>>143275705
You realize that LN is just a novel aimed at teens, right? What you're looking for is a good book.

I've come across some manga during my trips to Japan and I'm wondering what would be the easiest and hardest reads. I've got the following:
Dragon Ball
Yotsubato
Jojo's Bizare adventures
Tokyo Ghoul
Berserk
Monster
>>143278638
Yotsubato < Dragon Ball < Berserk < Tokyo Ghoul < JoJo < Monster
I haven't read any of them, but this is probably right.

You should just go through them all a couple times a day for a few days and you will have 90% of them memorized. Then you just put a little bit more focus on the ones you haven't learnt by then
>>143278732
Berserk is in the wrong place, probably as hard as Monster.

先
So that shit means before, and after? I'm going full atsugiri jason at this.
>>143282495
give examples
>>143282495
Temporally it means before. Spatially it means ahead.
Kind of like how you would say "ahead of time" in English.
Also means tip or point.
>>143282678
Ah that makes sense. So if I'm guessing my way through (I'm still a beginner), try and figure out if they're talking about time or place. Thanks senpai.
>>143282678
Before is used as "in front of" spatially in english too.
>>143282495
お先にどうぞ
>>143282495
I only know お先にください which means go ahead.
>>143282772

>>143282751
Places where "ahead" and "before" basically the same:
Just ahead of the deadline.
Just before the deadline.
Just ahead of the next corner.
Just before the next corner.
He's ahead of me.
He's before me.
Don't run up there ahead of me.
Don't run up there before me.
I got there ahead of the needed time.
I got there before the needed time.
I got there ahead of the deadline.
I got there before the deadline.
Places where one can be used but the other can't:
I got there ahead of time.
I got there before time. ?????
I got there just ahead of noon ?????
I got there just before noon.

>>143289805
Yeah, it would be weird if you knew 以て, but weren't able to understand that basic sentence. Yet randomly you used the word "by" which is a possible translation for 以て, so I was interested.
