What I did on Realkana was start from the beginning あいえうお. Get 100 correct, add the next column, 100 correct....
Keep doing this, but after you have like 4/5 columns selected, start unselecting the first stuff you did so that the newer kana shows up more.
Realkana is shit now and I haven't used it since, but I think you should still be able to do this.

It took me 3 months of regular/average grammar studying with prior kana knowledge to go from "I don't understand shit" to "I can finally understand pretty much anything with a dictionary/OCR and enough time".
Either I'm really smart (very unlikely) or these guys are really dumb, unmotivated and/or lazy.
Guys how can I help with memorisation of the Core2K deck?
I don't wanna learn each kanji by itself but instead want to just learn vocab (and grammar) so I can start reading faster but I'm having a hard time remembering the vocab from the Core2K deck.

That's not really understanding. And I doubt it's even true. Maybe if you're talking about simplistic stuff. But overall Japanese has too much stuff that only becomes easy to understand as you get exposure and experience with the language.
Note that I'm not defending that fag on Reddit.

Should I reduce the amount of cards or just grind through it?
OCRing a single page of tobira by hand took me between half an hour and an hour. Of course, I did the preface, which is polluted with furigana, but still.

>>143401859
Depends on your time restraints? If your work/study means you don't have much time, you might be better off lowering the number of cards so you can also get time in for other stuff like grammar etc. Otherwise just grind through it.
Most important thing is to do your reviews every single day, if you're having problems it's fine to lower new cards but stopping reviews = failure.
I've known ひらがな for a while, but I can't seem to get カタカナ memorized despite studying using the same method. Why is this?

For me personally, I used Twitter a lot to learn Katakana and Hiragana since I just constantly got notifications in those two since I followed a lot of Japanese accounts and studios.
So I'm just constantly reading them and eventually I was able to memorise it.
>>143401546
It doesn't have much actually, maybe grasping some term usages/nuances is what might be hardest, but the general grammar ruling is really simple.
It might be the mentality you take on how you learn a language too, but if you know the "rules" (and you can read), theoretically you can understand anything.
>>143401610
I dunno, I never gave VNs a try... I did translate some mangos (about 30ish chapters) to force my understanding and to get publicly bashed, but it didn't happen.
I did lots of mistakes, and finding them was the hardest part.
I'm reading LNs now and there's just so much more text, but aside from some new expressions I can't make sense at first, it's still understandable.
I'm looking for a guinea pig to study in a way I propose just to see how good it is, I got a couple of friends already but they're damn too slow getting past the kanas...

I was wondering if it was supposed to be this ugly. I have a lot of fonts installed (I installed all of the recommended fonts on the Arch wiki) and never messed with fonts.conf, though.
>>143403444
Not sure what the actual issue is then, does it look like that in other applications? (Also, refer to the Anki manual for the answer to your initial question)
>>143403534
いいえ, everything else looks fine.
>>143403292
Anki is a memorization application.
It has decks: which has a bunch of cards, each card is something you will force into your memory.
It'll give you a word/letter/sentence, and you'll think for yourself what it is.
You probably won't know if it's the first time, you'll click "show answer" and it'll show you.
Then you select one of the options based on how you fare your knowledge of that card:
Again, Hard, Good, Easy
Anki will manage when it'll show that card again for you based on your answers. You can see above the buttons when it will show next as your "daily exercise".
The more and more you get it "right", that is, you click anything that's not "Again", it'll show even less and less since you supposedly know that already.
Whew, that said, that Anki seems broken or badly configured, like other anons said, the font, and with that I can't help.
I'd recommend AnkiDroid (or it's iOS version) though, you can bring it anywhere since the point is doing the exercise everyday, without fail, until your brain gets hammered with the information.
It's also good for doing it while shiting or in the bed before sleeping.
>>143403671
Thanks. I guess I expected it to do more. I'll probably just get AnkiDroid instead of messing with fixing this.

Met a Japanese who graduated from there. She was kinda like this university isn't so good. I heard there's a good university in Nagoya but I forgot the name. In general I wouldn't recommend to go to a university where they teach a lot of English because people want to talk in English to you and they are not so impressed of foreigners at they are at universities where people don't meet many foreigners or can't study abroad.

It's from the grammar of classical Japanese, I'm not sure that explanation will help.
The verb 「する」 was originally 「す」 in classical Japanese. 「せん」 is 「す」 conjugated into the 未然形 「せ」, with the auxiliary intentional or speculative verb 「む」 appended to the end and then shortened to 「ん」. This makes it the equivalent of しよう in modern Japanese, roughly.
This is also the same 「せ」 that the form 「せず」 is derived from, which is still used in modern Japanese.

Japanese kids are taught each kanji separately, right? In that case, how do they learn what kanji goes with what word?
>>143411100
They aren't, they're taught them through vocabulary.
Most kanji workbooks give you all the common readings of a kanji and then 3~5 words it's used in together with it.
Whats the least offensive word you can translate 野郎 to? Not actually translating anything, but it's a topic I've wondered about on a couple of occasions. I guess it would probably be 'punk' or 'bastard', but it doesn't do the 'severity' of the word any justice. Or would it depend on context, so when a polite character suddenly uses it(think snake in SS) the translator should use an equally jarring word like 'motherfucker'?
Then again what if it's a word that the character likes to throw around a lot? That would reduce the seriousness a lot, I would think, so you would want to use a less vulgar word. But if people both in real life and the internet jokingly call each other fags and cunts constantly the 'severity' of the word is lost too, isn't it?
>>143402140
So I did the same thing but with ABBYY Finereader 12 (trial) and it works fine, you just have to manually correct what it highlights, and it's a lot less awful overall than tesseract. Thing is, it's not free and I don't want to pirate it. Anyone want to turn tobira to rikai-able text?
Example: http://pastebin.com/xPxFaVud
>>143411234
>野郎
cuck or weeb are enough to trigger the people reading the translation
>>143411234
the problem is there's just no equivalent in english
there's no word with quite the same intensity as 野郎 that isn't also considered a 'swear' word
and swear words are essentially taboo in many places where 野郎 could be used super freely
same thing with クソ
what do you do when a kids anime character yells クソ at the top of his lungs after stepping on a nail or something
you'd have to replace it with a euphemism in english, but that takes something away because it's not a really a euphemism in japanese
>>143411234

>>143411647
>there's no word with quite the same intensity as 野郎 that isn't also considered a 'swear' word

>>143411593
Image of a random part of the book before correcting anything.
The problem with the trial version is you can only process 100 pages total and you can only save 3 pages per session.
In other words, the trial is nearly useless, except for verify that the OCR works somewhat wcorrectly.
>>143411780
There's a scan that straight? Cool,
>>143411743
that's on the line, more severe than 野郎 in a lot of cases
definitely couldn't take a little girl in grade school calling everybody a バカ野郎 and replace any part of it with "bastard"
>>143411604
I'd use cunt, but cuck is good too
>>143411647
I wouldn't actually mind swear words being used more liberally in translations. I remember watching OPM last year and I felt kinda disappointed when the baseball dude calling the gay prison dude おかま was translated to 'pretty boy' or something mild like that instead of 'fag'. I'm 99% sure licensed translators have some sort of restriction on swear words, of course.
As for kuso, I think "OWWWWWW" or "ARGH" would work if translating for a family-friendly audience. Basically any english word/phrase that conveys the feeling of a mixture of pain and surprise would work.
Speaking of クソ, that's another hard word to translate. Translating クソ寒い冬休み to 'Fucking cold winter break" every single time the character says it is going to feel overboard very quickly. Yet something like "unbearably cold winter break" seems way too mild. A moderate translation would probably be "godforsakenly freezing winter break" but that sounds slightly awkward.
>>143411875
But little girls in grade school don't call everybody バカ野郎.
I guess if it were something she said often, I would use "dumbass" or "idiot"
But if she said it in an outburst of rage I would translate it to "dumb shit" or "retard" or maybe even "shit for brains" (笑)
>>143385599
Since you know (most of) the kanji already a lot of vocab is going to be pretty easy to learn. If you want to go fast, you can even do 70-80 words per day in core. Grammar is something you want to pick up from reading.

There is a surprisingly large number of shared words between chinese and japanese, especially for business related and technical terms. I think the PR of China even adapted 共和国 and some related words into mandarin. Don't quote me on that though, it's something my friend told me.
> my friend has a japanese LN of monogatari and i have followed the anime.
I don't suggest reading monogatari right from the start. I actually did that a few months ago and despite being able to comprehend most of Nisio's writing quite well, I couldn't really enjoy it because the dialogue is somewhat parodical or referential. I don't really know how to put it into words, but it's something that I feel you would enjoy more after reading linear stories that are less 'meta'.

What are your favourite books anon
Welp, looks like I'm going to read tobira (even though I never finished tae kim) while I manually OCR most of it for you guys.
>>143415799
>What are your favourite books anon
not him but my favorite books are the chronicles of amber, and donnerjack, by roger zelazny

The JLPT focuses on business related vocabulary, so TV shows would be better than LNs, news/news related programs would be even better than that.
If you reach a certain level of proficiency it will be a lot easier to learn new vocab though, since you know the grammar. So you can probably read LNs till you get comfortable with the language.
>>143415822
Don't recognize any of those/10
>>143415834
Yeah, I guess I'll read what I can for now.
I got 206/400 on J-Cat a few months ago but I feel like it should be way lower
>>143415691
yeah i know they're common as fuck in general
what i'm getting at is after you know the symbols, you don't have to learn anything more than "ni" + "ya" = "nya"
to understand all the combination hiragana after that
>>143415799
Just read Soseki, I was surprised how simple Kokoro was. It's easier than the majority of VNs I read, probably because he makes short, concise sentences.

Is it possible to get the Japanese pronunciations of kanji from their Chinese words easily? Asking because I already know mandarin. From what I have observed the meanings are the same mostly so I only need the pronunciations
>>143416063
On-yomi are sometimes similar to the modern Standard Chinese readings but for the most part they were imported from Middle Chinese through Korean so no.
>>143416063
Yeah, I'm learning both though my Japanese is way better, and they're pretty similar.
Not everything is the same, and some signs are used completely differently, but very often you'll find that even the pronunciation is pretty similar, at least the onyomi.

さあな
まずはお前の人生の意味が何なのか理解すること
話はそれからだ
日本には、47の都道府県(一都、一道、二府、四十三県)があります。一都は東京都
(首都)、 一道は北海道、二府は大阪府と京都府で、その他は、静岡県や広島県のように
全部、県です。静岡県はお茶や富士山で有名で、広島県には戦争の恐ろしさと平和の大切
さを伝える原爆ドームがあります。
日本は南北に長い国なので、南と北では気候が大きく違い、沖縄や九州で泳げる時に、
北海道では雪が降っていることもあります。それから、同じ日の沖縄と北海道の気温の差
が摂氏40度以上になることもあります。だから、日本人が大好きな桜の花がいつ頃咲く
かは、場所によって違います。沖縄では1月の終わりに咲き始めますが、北海道では5月に
なってからです。桜の花が咲くと、人々はその木の下でお酒を飲んだり歌を歌ったりして、
花見を楽しみます。
日本には昔からの名所もたくさんあります。例えば、兵庫県にある姫路城は日本で最も
美しいと言われているお城で、1993年にユネスコの世界遺産に選ばれました。400年以上
前の白い壁が残っていて、建物の形が白鷺という白い鳥が羽を広げて休んでいるように見
えるので白鷺城(白露城)とも呼ばれています。姫路城は昔の映画やドラマを撮影する時に
よく使われています。
日本の名所と言えば、温泉も忘れることはできません。日本は火山が多いので、日本中
に温泉があります。温泉には観光やレジャーが自的で行く人が多く、温泉では大きいお風
呂に入ったり、おいしい料理を食べたり、浴衣を着たりしてリラックスします。日本人は
お風呂に入るのが大好きで、外の景色を見ながら入れる露天風呂は特に人気があります。
たくさんある温泉の中で、愛媛県松山市にある道後温泉は日本で一番古い温泉で、3000
年の歴史があると言われています。『坊っちゃん』や 『こころ』という小説を書いた夏目漱
石がよく行ったそうで、道後温泉にある旅館の3階には「捗っちゃんの間」という部屋が
あります。
皆さんは、日本に行ったらどんなことをしてみたいですか。どこに行ってみたいですか。
日本に行く前に日本の地理をよく調べて、楽しい旅行をして下さい。そして、お城を見学
したり、温泉に入ったりして、楽しい土産話を持って帰って下さい。

It's edited OCR of part of tobira. The free OCR tools are such shit that I have to scan line by line and then manually fix several mistakes in each one. If I were fluid in japanese typing it would literally be faster just to type everything out.

that makes sense
It read like a JLPT passage but JLPT passaged would avoid using so many proper nouns that people might not know.
>>143417106
oh you're just the guy who hasn't even finished tae kim but is trying to OCR a shit textbook for no good reason
you made the post like it took you two hours to read thatbut you probably can't read it at all heh
if it took you two hours to "OCR" that then I highly doubt typing it out is the slower method here regardless of how fluid you are
IME is just romaji anyway
>>143417194
i can read it actually
ive been reading vns for years :^)
>>143417296
Whew
What is it that makes some things easier to read than others? Like why is Kino no Tabi so much easier to read than other LNs?
It doesn't seem like it's anymore limited in terms of expression than any other LN is, is the grammar and vocab it uses just not as showy?
>>143416927
Surprisingly easy. Did this come from a textbook?
>>143417769
better writing is simpler in structure for the ideas it expresses
>>143417826
yes
>>143417837
that just means it expresses simpler ideas buddy
>>143417920
nope
information!=ideas
>>143417769
-Run on sentences
-Variety of vocabulary used: A good writer can express "he was sad" or "he ran" in 30 different ways, a bad writer will just reuse a few set phrases
-Grammar used: Better writers use more obscure grammar structures to get the exact nuance and meaning they're gunning for. Not to say that some don't come off as pretentious
-Setting: Sci-fi and fantasy will obviously have long, descriptive paragraphs to depict the systems and structure of the world the author has thought up. Half the appeal of these genres are in that after all
-Dialogue: The more dialogue, the easier it is (most of the time at least)
>>143417769
I find short sentences make everything easy.
I find fucking classical literature like Soseki easier to read than moege VNs.
>>143417951
He's reading an LN not a fucking newspaper editorial
>>143417951
a mighty big statement for someone who just made the generalization that less information = better ideas
some well wielded structure adds another dimension to the ideas you can express
saying better writing is simpler is saying good writing can't be complex, which is bull
>>143418064
>less information = better ideas

Good writers don't do this. Or does Asimov's awful prose make you horny?

whole time, but kept it realistic (gave up for the day if i didn't really understand anything)
>>143418541
Too far
If you leave it too long your gains go down the drain, I learnt that the hard way, try to get into reading as soon as possible, it's going to be really hard no matter when you start, so might as well start and power through as early as you can, no point avoiding it
>>143418195
>better writing is simpler in structure for the ideas it expresses
you're clearly saying the ideas it expresses are the reason it is better here
therefore, better ideas
you equated "simpler structure" to "less information" yourself, i didn't even mention structure until then
so what you said was, "better writing has less information for the better ideas it expresses"
did i misinterpret you? feel free to write out something more clear

about 6 months in, which was 2 months ago
at that point it wasn't taking hours to find out what something really meant if i had a hard time with it, so that was when i started my first LN
i could have probably tried harder and read something easy earlier though
i never really ended up reading past the first three volumes of yotsuba because it wasn't good practice for me anymore at 6 months
>>143415771

>>143418649
>you're clearly saying the ideas it expresses are the reason it is better here
”for the ideas it expresses” means that what gets communicated is essentially the same, even though the skilled writer's text is simpler or shorter
>you equated "simpler structure" to "less information" yourself, i didn't even mention structure until then
more expression (e.g. ideas) in the same effort expended while reading is clearly a good thing. length and structure are just two particular variables tied to reading effort.
>so what you said was, "better writing has less information for the better ideas it expresses"
good writers don't magically embed ages of information into a few sentences. they just do better than worse writers.
people usually fall into a trap of thinking advanced = good but even a shitty writer can use advanced techniques and words if they're literate, just look at umineko's filler
