Is it difficult to study individual kanji only after getting a good vocabulary? I want to be able to read native material as soon as possible, so I'm grinding the core deck, but later on I also want to expand my knowledge of Japanese by studying kanji, for personal enrichment. Is it messy to do so?
Encountered this phrase in Yotsuba. I've got the vocabulary down but I can't seem to understand what のり and と are for here.
>あんまりのり出すと危ないぞ
>>143967286
I've been lurking futaba for a while now, but for the love of me, I still doesn't understand how it works. Why is there so many 二次元裏? what is 転載不可 and 転載可?

Learning to write them?
Sure, learning to write after you can read isn't a problem at all.

I was thinking more of the narrative and how the characters are portrayed, but the visuals are good as well I guess.
So did you guys grind out a specific amount of 2k6k/go through a certain amount of TK before starting to read, or just jump right in? I am about finished with Basic Grammar and am 400 into 2k6k
>>143969819

Just give it a try. I went into Hanahira like 200 words in, dropped it, came back at 500 words and read it then.
>>143968812
>not knowing the term individual kanji study
>giving advice
Don't do this.
>>143969663
Our skill measurement of "beginner" is different then.
You're no dumbfuck that finishes TK basic grammar and starts Hanahira.
Started reading Muramasa. But going to sleep now.
Learning Japanese is suffering for people that don't tend to bother reading VNs
>That complete lack of listening comprehension
>That slower progression because you have to read at your own pace as opposed to voice actors pace
If you're a beginner that wasn't really planing on reading VNs, please do it anyway, for your own sake, they are the perfect study tool

I've been learning this God-forsaken language on and off for about three years now, but 今回からだけがんばっている。 I have basic grammar nailed down but it's vocabulary I'm having problems with. Thankfully I've gotten the hang of writing kanji from notebooks filled with the stuff and it's mostly just grinding now.
This goddamn language is too hard and saps morale easily. But God sent me a sign (or a warning) last week in the form of a cute Japanese girl who said my Japanese was ”すごい上手！”
>>143970346

>>143970351

Should we tell him?
>>143970043
There's no fucking concrete "term" for what that means, might be gimmick shit like RTK or WK, might be elementary school kanji drills, might be kanken prep material in Japanese,
so I'm asking what this guys plan for studying them.
>>143970222
>Learning Japanese is suffering for people that don't tend to bother reading VNs
That's pretty much no one, it's the prime motivation to learn the language for most people here.
>>143970351
>a cute Japanese girl who said my Japanese was ”すごい上手！”
Oh that's just heartbreaking
>>143970351
>I have basic grammar nailed down
>今回からだけがんばっている
>>143970351
>saps morale easily
And it will keep sapping it if you keep reading terrible shit like Hanahira.
If your grammar is decent you can read something better no matter how shit your vocab is, texthooker will be helping you with that shit.
>>143970222
I have watched too much anime, now my listening comprehension completely overshadows my vocabulary and grammar understanding and whenever I go through a VN with voices on I feel like neither of those two is improving
There's always a way this language brings you to your knees
>>143970384
If you spend ten seconds on Google you'd know it means "English-Only Peasant"
>>143970438
That may be the case, but I personally find LNs way more compelling than VNs, and for that reason didn't bother with them for a long time, resulting in my listening comprehension being complete shit compared to my reading skills, and I'm sure there must be at least some other people that are in the same boat
>>143970438
Not him, but I doubt even half the people ITT learn Japanese with VNs as their primary goal. What makes you think so many people in here are into VNs?
>>143970404
>>143970441
>>143970497
Well, I stuttered and reverted to English half of the time. But she was just impressed I even bothered to learn what little I have right now. I managed to get her contact details, and talking with her is nice.
>>143970590
Because the best stuff is untranslated, same for LNs. All anime are pretty much instantly subbed, and the big bulk of great manga is too.
Other reasons would be uh, working there? I think this group is the minority for sure.
>>143970575
If you weren't challenged in various ways, you'd realize my implications is that you're no better than EOPs.

>>143970438
The fact that I don't give a shit about VNs is my biggest problem.
The only VNs I'm interested in reading is shit I've already read in English.
>>143970817
There's a ton of games I would like to play in Japanese, but I'm honestly just learning Japanese for its own sake.
I think there's a lot of people here like that.
>>143967700
Thanks a lot. I guess I shouldn't be trusting that everything hiragana between familiar vocabulary is a particle.
>>143969975
Was it a struggle or did you feel moderately comfortable with it?
>>143972125
It gave me trouble at first, like most VN at most skill levels, but after I got used to the ちょううぅかわいい chau form that's used all the fucking time it was pretty easy. There are some colloquialisms that might be hard to get if you haven't watched enough anime though.
>>143967286
I'm really having trouble finding a good site with raws to read. Can someone help? Even volume torrents would be nice.
Sorry ahead of time for the blog post.
Does anyone have experience coming back to learning a language after years of neglecting it? I started learning Japanese in 2007 and stuck with it for a few years, but eventually lost my way. I stopped doing anki and stopped regularly reading or watching Japanese media. I have been to Japan 5 or 6 times but also went to China 5 times and started learning random bits of Mandarin. The end result is that I can't speak either very well at all.
I'm sure if I stuck with it I'd be quite fluent, given that I'd be almost 10 years in. So I'm wondering, what's the best way to get back on the horse? I might still have my old anki deck somewhere, but maybe it's a better idea to start fresh?
>>143972327
Raws for what?
AB has a decent amount of raw manga.
>>143972328
I guess you could start fresh, but learn as quickly as possible if you've really forgotten that much. Else just consuming more media and practicing writing and speaking should be good enough.
Can you use a J>J dictionary?
>>143972328
If you used to regularly read jap media then you can probably pick it back up doing the same thing in months.
>>143972469
>>143972490
I used to use a J>J dictionary but can't anymore. I think there are a ton of things I forgot that I just need a refresher on, so I could probably blast through an Anki deck from scratch and find out what I forgot. I need to review grammar again too.
>>143972418
Well I was thinking any simple story/easy level conversation series, like Dragon Ball.
>>143972327
How about you look in the OP you quoted.
There's a shit ton of manga raws in CoR.
>>143972584
For reviewing grammar a good method might be using the DOJG anki deck and just going through a couple hundred cards, suspending all the grammar you still remember. Don't forget to suspend the repeat cards as well.
Dunno about a new vocab deck. I guess you could do the same, although if you find your old deck you should definitely use that.
How do you guys handle mining shit like words made out of two or more other words? I just encountered 醸し出す, but I've never seen 醸す before, so should I just mine that? Or mine the word that I encountered?
>>143973909
I generally add the entire word.
>>143973994
Mm I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference
>>143974208
Not really, no. But I found that sometimes the combinations take on some odd meaning that I wasn't able to guess, so I just decided that adding the combination is easier.

>>143975368
Don't expect the attention whores who make OP images to actually be learning the language.
>>143975497
Easy mistake to make, they're pretty similar looking, I'm sure he just didn't notice that it typed that instead of 同士
>>143975363
教えてください
>>143975791
It's the difference between "girls shouldnt love girls" and "girls shouldnt love other girls", didn't you notice that both instances of its usage had an actual love word in the same sentence?
>>143975497
It's not wrong. 同士 and 同志 are similar, it's just that one has the 心 radical thrown in. I'm sure you can do the mental gymnastics required to figure out how the meaning changing through that.
>>143975892
I more or less understood the sentence, I thought that your "no" was towards my interpretation of 女の子同志 which is the name of the file in the OP

>>143976347
Surprised no one's called me a retard yet, but I'm wrong
女同士 means female bonding so 女の子同士 might as well mean something like girl bonding, as in a euphemism for yuri. That's why >>143975368 said it should be 同士.

![pjhuvj6[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/MC65x8M.png "pjhuvj6[1].png")
>>143975892
It's incorrect no matter how you look at it. Even look at the sentence for the second definition:「女―」
>>143976907
It'd sound camp, but W is weakly pronounced most of the time so it's technically ok.
>>143976907
It's not strictly wrong, but it would have the same effect as if you addressed everyone as "girlfriend", i.e. you'd sound rather stereotypically campishly gay.
>>143977055
I want people to know I'm using あたし though.
>>143977063
I'm not gay I'm just transsexual if that's what you would call it.
>>143976907
>>143977055
Also, if you're a beginner, everyone will assume you're just saying it wrong and correct you. It'd be weird to insist on saying it like that.
>>143976920
See >>143977050
It means "as ~" or "between ~"
女同士 means as women
As in it's implying they're the same in some way
友人同士の秘密 means "a secret between friends" for example
>>143967546
と is a conditional particle in that sentence.
If あんまりのり出す then 危ないぞ
>>143970351
Shouldn't that be sugoku jouzu? Or is that acceptable too?
>>143977177
>transsexual
わたし is neutral rather than masculine. I'm not sure how many older women use あたし but I can imagine it being similar to an older woman trying to look cuter/younger.
Correct me if I'm off.
>>143977545
あたし doesn't seem to have a cutesy nuance from what I've seen. Things like saying your own name does though and only idols and bitches do it.
>>143977412
I'd assume she said すごい、上手.
As in the sugoi wasn't meant to describe the jouzu, but is a separate remark.
>>143977705
Yeah, that makes sense. An example of why punctuation is important.

So is it 同士 or 同志? Or both are correct, but have different meanings?
Looking at the dic (EDICT) they seem to be synonyms, one meaning as a "fellow" and the other as "kindred".
>>143978469
The regular way to write it is 同士.
一昨年
issakunen or ototoshi?
>>143978999
Works both, doesn't it?
Same as with 昨日 (kinou/sakujitsu).
is it safe to review ahead so the due cards for the next day reduce? Or does it affect my retention?
>>143979472
I will never stop pronouncing 年間 as toshiaida help please I know it's nenkan but everything else involving those two kanji is either toshi for the first and aida for the second

I'm really stuck on this line. I especially don't understand 'ではなければ、だけど'.
>>143979747
If your intention is to reduce how many cards you have to review the next day, then that's what it's there for.
You can make a custom study and uncheck "Reschedule cards based on my answers..." if all you want is some extra practice without affecting anything.
>mfw second day of Anki

Stop new cards until you get reps under control and then add new cards again
Do extra study outside of anki if needed
>>143982492
Kana is harder to distinguish so retention is going to be lower than kanji, but it's very few characters so you should be done with it quickly and move on to kanji.

I plan on dedicating an hour of study every day for the next year. I should probably have at least a very basic kid's level grasp on things by then, right?
What's your study schedule like? How long did it take for you anons to be able to read basic stuff?
>>143986634
I'm past 1K kanji and I still confuse se/sa.
>>143985474
>>143985662
シ and ツ would be a better example, or ソ and ン, or even セ and ヒ. There are plenty of worse offenders to find among the kanji though.
>>143986792
You should probably do two hours, otherwise you might get frustrated by the lack of results and give up.
>>143986792
>What's your study schedule like?
Do Anki at whatever time.
Maybe try to play a game in japanese if I feel like it.
Randomly stumble into japanese text on the internet and try to read it.
>How long did it take for you anons to be able to read basic stuff?
2 months
>>143987200
One hour is a decent starting point I think. You can get the hiragana in week one, then the katakana in week two, that's already a fun place to be.

I just started namasensei's "100 challenge", making an anki deck from it and it's going pretty well, but I noticed that he teaches おんな as "girl" when the dictionary calls it "woman", and that made me pause and think maybe he's teaching other wrong things that I will have to unlearn later. Should I switch to the core 2000 instead or just plough on and fuck the police?
絶望した!!!!!!
>>143987632
I also mix those with セ.
>>143987694
>>143988015
I only had this problem when I started learning kana, which was a few days ago.
Did you have this problem with kanji as well?
I'm just starting to learn vocabulary through core2k/6k and I can distinguish some of the characters and the meanings without much trouble, but maybe because they are very simple (I have a hard time with the readings though).
>>143986792
Follow the guide in the OP.
Also, as advice, try to hear and identify stuff/translation when you're watching anime, it helps a lot building some references.
Also note that there isn't a 100% direct translation for most stuff, so just grasp the concepts.
After you learn the kanas (alphabet) and get a decent grasp of grammar, you should be able to read stuff in about a couple of months.
After that I think people just do their Anki exercises and read whatever stuff they enjoy.

The bigger mistake is learning those words in kana (if that's what you're doing) instead of kanji. You'll just have to relearn them.

The eba form is present tense. Are you maybe looking for the tara form?

any jukugo dictionaries (if they exist)? im at an intermediate level but i might see a word and recognize entire kanji but not when they are strung together. i ctrl+f'd "jukugo" in both of the resource lists in the google docs so im guessing one doesnt even exist. jisho.org and kanji damage are very limited for this purpose
よろしくね
>>143988431
How is Jisho limited? No sane dictionary is going to list only jukugo rather than words.
>>143988523
it wont always be the first kanji i will recognize

I think wearing a cute sailor school uniform or any other outfit with a short skirt will help you get your point across anyway.
>>143988089
>Did you have this problem with kanji as well?
I found it easy to differentiate kanji in the beginning. After awhile kanji with only a difference of one radical start to pile up and kanji with similar meanings usually share the same radicals. This makes differentiating kanji harder over time.

General question, but can you write the kanji you know on a piece of paper? Or do you consider a kanji "learned" when you can read it in most of its applications without assistance
>>143988604
You can type *家* to search for any words that contains 家.

i suppose it works but i was hoping a better resource would be available which is why i asked. but thanks anyway
>>143988718
I think that article mostly applies to people who don't read or consume content massively. The English step disappears after you see the word in use a few times.
>>143988235
It's not like learning the whole word again, you just have to attach the word you already know to a symbol. At worst you just get to revise a word you already know.
>>143988089
The problem exists with kanji and it's arguably worse, but you can go a long way without running into lookalikes. It also helps that sometimes you can tell which one is in a sentence by looking at the contest and okurigana. I'm not sure yet what's the best way to practice differentiating lookalikes, but I found this page helpful for looking them up: http://www.kanjidamage.com/radicals

I started practicing remembering kanji radicals, but it took way too much time and wasn't worth it.
>>143989321
The guide says it might only take a week or two, that doesn't sound too bad.

Remembering the radicals. Anon said they had tried but it took too much time
>For those who feel that methods like RTK and KanjiDamage take too much time, but don't feel confident diving head-first into kanji as with the kanji-through-vocab approach described above, one method to consider is simply dedicating a week or two to studyingradicals- the 200 or sobuilding-blockswhich make up the kanji.
>>143991471
What are you talking about?

>>143991682
I dunno how much it takes to memorize 200 radicals by themselves or if it's worth it (probably easier to learn them as you learn the kanji). What I meant is I don't think it's worth memorizing which radicals each and every kanji is made of so you can write them on paper from memory. Being able to recognize the radicals on a kanji is extremely important though.

A concrete schedule took a bit to work up. My goal was 2 hours a day and recently it got to about 80 minutes (I need to add in actual practice though)
My current schedule:
>Do Hiragana/Katakana flashcards
>Practice new kanji
>Do Kanji flashcards
>Add 5 new kanji to practice tomorrow
>Vocab flashcards
>Kanji flashcards (Review next 5 days custom study)
>Vocab flashcards (Review 5 days custom study)

I don't agree with this, obviously biting is bad but a light brushing of the teeth against the skin can actually feel really good.

I tried doing anki and tae kim, but I don't really link the explanations of the grammar guide.
What are the steady books to learn a bit everyday? minna no nihongo and genki?
>>143994058
tae kim is as steady as it gets
alternatively you could try watching anime
>Cards piled up while out of town
>Trudge through the first 100 before caving in
M-maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow...
>>143991729
>He's new
>>143994058
I would recommend trying tae kim if you can deal with it, but genki is probably what you're looking for
>>143986792

Godspeed.
If I could manage to do that I would've been done 3+ years ago.

Why does the last vowel for some kanji change when combined with other kanji? e.g. 声色、雨雲、酒場's first kanji not having the same pronunciation as they would were they standalone kanji. Is there some rule/reason for these?
