theoretically if one learned the ~2000 jyuyou kanji and mastered most of the grammar in the available textbooks as well as their vocab plus 6k, would jlpt1 be passable or is it even beyond that?
>>143665635
N1 actually isn't passable if you haven't lived in Japan for at least 10 years. And that's not counting studying for about 2 years at home.

Fuccobi here,
A few threads ago I came in here for the first time to start on my nipponese learning adventure. I've now memorized all the Kana/Hiragana and am going to move towards grammar and anki kanji. I've run into some problems though, mostly on approach.
After listening to the jpopdcast thing that was in the guide resources, they suggest learning radicals first since they're building blocks of kanji and will likely make learning future kanji much easier than individually. But anons suggested learning grammar first. Some other annons said fuck grammar, go kanji. And other anons still, suggested both. But nobody suggested radicals.
Wat do from here? Just finished grinding kana/gana, what do you guys think is the best next step?
>>143665747
I've met several people who passed it within 5-6 years of study
>>143665635
Theoretically, that's exactly what JLPT is supposed to test: you knowing jouyou kanji and all the grammar textbooks can teach you.
But in addition to that you need to have enough experience with reading, you won't be able to go through reading section without a decent reading speed and comprehension, and you wont have that if you just cram kanji and grammar.
>>143666243
Unless you plan to write, "learning" radicals consists of reading their wikipedia page and looking at them shits in a table for a couple of hours as you don't have to actually memorize any information about them and just be able to recognize shapes.
After that start grinding 2k, reading tyler kimchi and trying to decipher Yotsuba like everyone here did.
>>143666243
The first thing you need to do is develop the ability to make your own decisions and not listen to whatever faggot is new and bored enough to reply to you on /a/.
>>143666243
Don't go out of your way to learn radicals first.
You'll learn them naturally over the course of time and probably eventually remember kanji as a combination of radicals - which is a useful skill - and it'd be useful in two people talking about how a kanji should be written but learning just radicals first when you know no kanji will just fuck you over.
It's like learning cursive handwriting immediately after learning the ABCs. It's technically a skill that might be useful but what the fuck are you doing learning that first when you don't even know the language?
>>143666714
>>>/gif/
>>143666756
>It's like learning cursive handwriting
Now you started some shit.
>>143666662
I think there's a fundamental difference between making your own decision and seeking out advice from someone who knows more than you do and has already done what you want to do. Clearly you're not one of those people if you don't have the ability to differentiate between the two yourself.
>>143666602
So I guess my next step is basically just grinding 2k while touching on grammar, huh?
>>143666243
>But anons suggested learning grammar first.
There's no reason you can't do both at the same time.
>>143666756
This is stupid advice. Learning radicals in isolation takes very little time and makes the process of learning kanji (recognition or writing) much easier.
It also helps immensely to have a name to associate each radical with as opposed to knowing them all as "oh, that one".
>>143666970
No shit.
>And other anons still, suggested both. But nobody suggested radicals.
>>143667085
Perhaps that's because learning radicals is part of learning kanji...
>>143667068
This is kinda what I was thinking. There's not a terrible amt of radicals and each of them seems to be a sort of building block of a kanji, so for example if you were struggling to remember what a certain kanji was, you'd notice it had the tree radical and then suddenly "to rest" would trigger in your memory, but what do I know.
im almost there anons, ive almost completely memorized hiragana and katakana without messing up. Soon i will move to kanji and learn words, i am excited

Don't believe Kanji Damage's lies.
Learning radicals before learning jouyou is a waste of time. You should at least KNOW what they are and what part they play at constructing kanji. There are a _lot_ of radical constructs which make no sense whatsoever so don't expect to guess the kanji from the radicals alone; there's no magical formula.
Invest your time into focusing on the jouyou first, then when you're about halfway of kanjis learned (6th grade - about 1000 kanji) start your jukugo vocabulary.
Guessing jukugo meanings by their kanji makes a LOT more sense than guessing kanji meanings by their radicals.
Don't waste your time on radicals.
>>143675705
knowing radicals helps you make meaningful mnemonics to memorize kanji. that's the only reason to really be aware of them at all.
>>143675705
>Learning radicals before learning jouyou is a waste of time.
>Learning ~200 extremely simple and easy symbols over the span of a week that you're going to be seeing everywhere from now on
>Learning ~2000 complicated symbols with poor guidance and poor advice on what things about them you should memorize and what memorizing them is good for
>There are a _lot_ of radical constructs which make no sense whatsoever so don't expect to guess the kanji from the radicals alone; there's no magical formula.
Learning the radicals is not strictly about recognizing the radical concepts or phonetic connections in kanji. Learning the radicals also forces the brain to wire itself to recognize squiggles, and it does so in a much lower stress environment than learning words.
>>143675705
>He thinks memorizing kanji in isolation is useful
>jukugo AFTER the first 1k kanji, not DURING
Consider killing yourself so that you never try to give advice to autodidacs again.
>>143675705
Where does memorizing single-kanji vocabulary play into this? Don't tell me you think memorizing kanji teaches you how to read single-kanji words. That would be silly.

Radicals are just variations of kanji that already exist, so you'll end up absorving them during the course of your studies. That's what I meant when I said knowing what they are.
These are the radicals you should know about: 氵亻扌忄/⺗ ⻌ 艹 宀 阝 灬 飠 彳 犭 衤 ⺮ 礻 广 疒
There. I listed about 75% of all jouyou in existence.

Lies. The ordering is specially optimized to assist with recognition, and "full of" is a shameless exagggeration, there are only a handful or so.

The ordering is specially optimized to teach people kanji through vocabulary. It has nothing to do with assisting recognition.

Anecdotes are true. That's what makes them anecdotes.
Anecdotes are not generalizable. You're the same as people who see one white bird and think, "birds are white". You cannot say "birds are generally white" until you reach statistical significance, and you cannot say "birds are always right" until you examine each and every last bird.
Learn basic logic.

Dunno why you ironically put that between quotation marks, since Japanese kids learn theirs through compulsory education. Perhaps you're a enlightened person who found out a magical way to learn Japanese bypassing the kanji cramming.

Finally finished my "Vocab the Kanji" program today, just in time for Independence Day. Now I have a knowledge of all the jouyou kanji's meanings and common on and kun readings. Took approximately 2.5 months. I'm glad it's over. Here is an infographic of my mined deck for the past month for any interested.
A history of the program: After I got through 3k of Core and JTMW+Tae Kim I decided to start reading. I got through Hanahira fine because it was baby easy but then I started Flyable Heart. I quickly grew annoyed at looking up kanji all the time and had difficulty remembering them. So I thought, hey, why not learn all the kanji right off the bat? The problem is that RTK only teaches you english keywords. Admittedly a helpful concept but it would not help me much with actual reading. For that I needed to learn the meanings as well as readings.
So after deliberating for a bit I decided on what to do. I would systematically go through each jouyou kanji, looking them up on jisho, and for each kanji mining at least two common words per common onyomi. I also mined common kunyomi when there were any kunyomi readings. Rinse and repeat for every kanji.
So now I am finally done. Would I recommend others do this program? I liked it but probably not, just because it took so long. At least now kanji lookup will not be such a pain in the ass.
Pros:
- Knowledge of a few thousand basic vocab words (and a few thousand obscurer ones too).
- A good grasp of kanji's phonetic components. No need to memorize the onyomi for 組, 粗, 租, 狙, 祖, 阻, etc. individually; since they all have 且 they all have an onyomi of そ
- A good ability to guess the meaning and reading of any (jouyou) jukugo even if I haven't seen the word before.
Cons:
- Opportunity cost. Like I said earlier this time probably would have been much better spent just reading, but for my special breed of autism I'm glad I got this out of the way so I can just jump into reading and grammar study full blast.

Yeah, that certainly is true, sadly this isn't really going to help my comprehension much in the short term. For a beginner my language knowledge is stupid slanted towards kanji and vocab.

When mining words that have both two readings and meanings, try putting 「other reading」じゃない on the front. This will differentiate the two.

Japanese, sure, but non-native speakers yield a barrage of Hollywood-type media often with subtitles (unless you live in France, then you'll get a dub)
I'm Australian, but most media I enjoyed while growing up were Japanese cartoons (but with an American or Canadian dub) as they do in English speaking countries, unfortunately.
I feel if you were young and you only had exposure to dubbed anime (like DBZ and Pokemon) you'd learn English extremely easily and not yield a funny accent.
My friend from Puerto Rico learned English entirely from watching Spongebob Squarepants as he says, and he didn't develop an accent, he sounds native.
I just wish we had shows here in Japanese audio so I could learn a new spoken language of my choice just as non-native speakers learn the language of business.

Esperanto has too many words you can add to nouns, it's a cool concept and easy to remember, but written Esperanto is too repetitive and sounds like shit.

kek, I suppose, the curriculum there is entirely in Spanish, however most foreigners experience an English audio dub with annimemay (often with American or Canadian voice actors, which is why their accent sounds so plain/neutral) when they could just receive original audio with subtitles in their language, it would be significantly better for young children who want to learn a second language easily.
It's all about highest profits though, which definitely makes since for native English speaking countries, as it's far easier to understand audio than to read text if you don't about learning a new language (and you're indoctrinated to believe English is the most useful language from an early age, so it's hard to have desire for learning a new language.
I just wish we could have had a Goku or Ash without a deep neutral sounding English voice with the original audio, we might have been able to know English, the language of business, of course through education, and Japanese, the language of entertainment and porn through undubbed media as a kid and teenager.
>My friend from Puerto Rico learned English entirely from watching Spongebob Squarepants
Either you're a gullible fuck, or your friend was literally molded by memes.
Anytime a language is "purposefully" created it always looks awkward and shitty to me. I hate how Korean looks. Give me the natural clusterfuck of Japanese any day.
>>143680989
I would delete this awful post but it won't let me as it stands now.
>>143680991
It's possible I suppose, but it makes sense a place colonized by America would have easy access to Hollywood
>>143681033
Definitely this. Esperanto is the best example, it's so fucking awkward, but other naturally constructed languages that place emphasis on reusable words & grammar are awful too
>>143681076
fuck this, I can't bare it any longer
I have to complain to hiroshima on /qa/, there's no need or use for a limit such as this
>>143681033
What's wrong with korean?
>>143681133
Are you the drunk guy?
>>143681153
You mean Hangul? It looks awkward because it was crafted purposely for the reason of being easy for learners to write. It's easy to learn, similar to Hiragana, you could probably be master it in a week.
Why can't /djt/ ever agree on a method to learning shit? Of all threads, not once has anyone somewhat agreed on a learning process. I get that diff people learn differently, but that's not what I mean. For example,
>>143666243
asks how to go forward after learning his gana, but then look at all the replies to this guy essentially saying completely opposite things. To me it doesn't seem like a "this worked best for me" argument, but more of a "this is objectively wrong and will waste your time" argument. like this guy
>>143675705
There's got to be an actual proper way to learn that is malleable for the whole diff strokes diff folks types but is also not something that wastes people's time no matter what.
>>143680989
>you're indoctrinated to believe English is the most useful language from an early age
I don't think this really gets indoctrinated, though english being the most useful language is essentially a fact either way
it's true learning new languages is seen as a worldly hobby or "get it done so you graduate" type of thing, until it's about business, in which case you'll get pushed to learn a rising second-world language like Chinese
I find it extremely difficult to believe you can learn a language at an early age without anyone to speak to
>>143681268
>Why can't anyone ever agree on a method to learning anything?
Fixed for you, my 家族
>>143681251
Hangul's way easier than hiragana, there's less symbols to remember and they all fit together in a logical way
>>143681251
Until you try to learn grammar. Also how can anyone justify the autism that is the Japanese written language? Even learned Japanese don't know enough Kanji because it's such a ridiculous idea. Quite like Chinese.
>>143681268
>There's got to be an actual proper way to learn that is malleable for the whole diff strokes diff folks types but is also not something that wastes people's time no matter what.
You're searching for a single answer where there are a million.
DJT will argue about it til the cows come home either way, might as well pick one method and see where it gets you, rather than trying to narrow it down somehow with a bunch of argument-hungry autists who have each gone through only one learning process and can't possibly tell you anything worthwhile about the rest.
>>143681331
That's why I don't like it. It's lifeless and ugly. Besides, fewer symbols just means most of them look the same which isn't helpful. Not that it matters because there's no reason to learn it unless you're into business or their subpar media.
>>143681332
kanjis are pretty
>>143681331
I learned Hiragana in just a couple days, I couldn't imagine it's easier than Hangul, but maybe it's true. Memorizing easy shapes and their sounds is so simple.
>>143681332
Too bad Japanese entertainment is significantly more entertaining than media from Korea, otherwise we'd all be in a thread learning a much easier language.

this, it's what makes non-constructed languages a joy to learn for people who aren't autistic
Is around 80-85% mature retention normal for a mined deck with 11k vocab that I've been doing for like 9 months or am I just できない?
>>143681417
I wish it was all about Korean entertainment. /dkt/ would just be full of Korean posts because everyone would have finished learning it soon enough.
>>143681379
I think the point is that when comparing things that logically make sense, such as learning radicals, people will argue that it's a waste of time. Million ways or not, that makes no sense. Nobody learns to fly an airplane by just fucking getting in one and going ham. There's a proper way to do it, sure you can change it up to suit you, but the building blocks you need should never really change.
>>143680703
I still watch Hollywood movies with English subtitles. It helps me in assuring that I heard the words correctly.
>>143681510
If that's really what you got out of that post, then just kill yourself. Take your memes with you.
>>143681565
<90 % mature retention is 出来ない, yes.
>>143681568
>Nobody learns to fly an airplane by just fucking getting in one and going ham.
Just couldn't stop yourself could you
>>143681594
Are you a non-native speaker? Hollywood sucks nowadays, they haven't done anything I like in several years.
As a non-American, I think movies with Canadian and American voices are the easiest to understand for non-native speakers as the accent is completely neutral.
It's also why our actors are so good at replicating the accent when they go to Hollywood.
>>143681568
>Nobody learns to fly an airplane by just fucking getting in one and going ham
while that may be a pretty bad idea for an airplane, there's plenty of things that strategy actually does work for as long as you have some guidance on what the proper way to do them looks like
personally i did study radicals for a week or two before i studied kanji, but i can see how you could go without either of those and just brute force your way through core
that way just seemed harder and more stressful to me so i didn't do it
>>143681666
Guilty.
>>143681626
The guide is exactly what the quoted question is looking for.

Says the insecure autist wasting his entire day shitposting on /djt/ without actually engaging in arguments he starts.
>It's another beginners talking about anki and kanji episode
See ya lads this got boring fast
>>143681670
Native speaker but my hearing is not good that's why I use subtitles. If no subtitles then it's also ok.
>>143681695
The quoted question was trying to get around the guide, seeing as it's the thing that gets brought into question constantly by argumentative autists on DJT. You'd be kidding yourself if you really thought the guide was unanimously agreed upon as the singular holy stairway to japanese masterhood.
>>143681767
>beginners talking about how to learn a language in a thread made for people to learn the language
wow
>>143681742
>defending pointless argument
>making it out like you're trying to start one
no one can go this far and still be 百%本気
not falling for it!
>>143681695
The quoted question is pointing out that people disagree in a quite absolute way (not subjective) with the guide and is asking why this is. You should probably get your English reading comprehension taken care of before trying Japanese.
>>143681788
>never read the guide
>complain about it anyway
Amazing
The guide doesn't tell you the one right way to learn Japanese, it tells you what learning Japanese consists of and gives you the resources needed to make one for yourself.
>>143681862
So it's not what >>143681268 was looking for at all then, is it.
>>143681133
i think reddit would be more to your tastes
>>143681862
Which is the point. I'm not that guy. He's asking why people are saying learning radicals first is objectively wrong. It's obvious he did read the guide, hence the question. Reading the guide has fuckall to do with it. How can you be this fucking stupid?

>>143682186
the grammar is easy, but be prepared to be looking up pretty much every other word
it took me 4 hours to read 40 pages
>>143682102
The point of learning radicals is to teach yourself to recognize certain aspects of a kanji and get your brain to differentiate kanji. It doesn't matter if you learn what the radical itself means, that is useless. If you memorize the handful of radicals, you can much easily differentiate between kanji that include the same radical. Had you just memorized the kanji itself without having your brain make that extra trigger, it's easier to confuse kanji with the same radicals. See >>143675766
