Then how am I replying to this thread? Looks like your evil plan got foiled once again.
何でもできるぞ!
I can read hiragana and katakana. That's something right?
That's true. I'm so fucking pathetic.
その通りだ
It actually takes very little Japanese to fuck Japanese women, so I've been good.
Why not use 出来る? It's just "exit" and "come", probably n5 level kanji.

I-I stopped 4 months ago.

Recently I saw a 2chan thread about how they love this meme.
how so
furigana should be mandatory
That's a given if you learn Japanese
Кандзи, он как маджонг - его выучить невозможно.
Shouldn't it be お母さんをできる?

>have currently got most of the hiragana down after writing them down repeatedly sometimes over the course of several weeks and not even doing it most nights just occasionally when I actually feel motivated
>despairing at the thought of having to learn katakana too before grammar and vocabulary
Let me get to the good parts of the language dammit
>struggling with hiragana and katakana
oh boy
But I just memorized katakana and am already halfway through Genki 1. Also fuck off back to /djt/.
>despairing at the thought of having to learn katakana too before grammar and vocabulary
just learn katakana while learning vocab
Nigga these are the good parts.
Katakana and hiragana are easy, fun parts.
Vocabulary is hell, and grammar doesn't make any sense half the time.
I started Genki 1 around.. 8 years ago. Never got past chapter 10.
Just give up user.

>うち is (your) house while いえ is just a house
The road ahead is tough.
うち is also used as a first-person pronouns in some dialects, by the way. And is generally used to refer to one's family (e.g. うちのお母さん)

How come they know about Dekinai-chan?
I'm glad I know Japanese so I can read funny shit like this: exhentai.org
Is there a good way to somehow jumpstart the progress of the cards which are recorded in an anki deck? I used a shitty anki clone that's free on ios for a while, now i want to change to actual spaced repetition. I managed to convert my deck to anki format, but the way the progress was recorded is incompatible with anki and i'm not sure what to do with all those cards i mostly know. Is bumping the number of new cards daily to like 2000 for a while the only way? I suppose even if i do that i need to go through the entire deck a lot of times. Can i manually edit the progress of individual cards?
When do you plan on starting to learn japanese?
>ios
ahahahahahahah
I'm planning on taking a japanese course to learn the basics. Is it an outdated way of learning languages these days?
Taking a course to learn a language has been outdated since books were invented, it's something simpletons with no willpower waste their time on.
I got a hand-me-down iphone ok.
And the anki people are fucking jews for asking money only on ios.
I've been reading at the same time, but yeah my grammar is somewhat lacking.
You'd be learning at a speed fitting for retards together with retards who have no motivation and think remembering kana is a great achievement. Don't do that.
More like since audio records were invented. Listening to native speech is a very important part of learning a language but today you have all the anime in the world to help you with that.
Sell it to some Apple schmuck and get an Android. It's what I did.

DEKINAI
There is no point in learning japanese if only used for entertainment. Only obscure and lesser quality works are untranslated.
>this is what dekinais actually believe
I faced a similar problem, since for some fucking reason I had been using Houhou for two years.
I just sat down and clicked "easy" for an hour.
It's not like you have anything better to do with your time, admit it.
I know why I don't want to learn chinese, and it's not just the quality of the 2d porn

I read every day but progress is still really slow and I probably only know like 2k words. I'm about to finish a grammar deck in anki with 620 cards or so though so that's nice.
I can pass N2 test exams pretty convincingly at this point and I still feel like I don't know shit. Stuff like news, podcasts, manzai are still hard to listen to. And yet I've already set myself up for attempting to move to japan the moment I pass that fucking exam this summer. It's going to be fucking rough.
Dunno, but you can see 魔 all the time in the titles of anime, manga, novels etc. because magic, demons and shit

How do you feel about 日?

What were they thinking?
There's tons of untranslated manga.
I fucking wish all kanji were like the ones on the bottom of the picture. They may look horryfying but they also tend to have only 1-2 readings and very rigid meaning associated with them.
Good luck remembering and learning to quickly distinguish between that fucking niggerion of kanjis with 青,責 and 糸 radicals in them.
I can listen to podcasts and stuff like that fairly easily but I'm not even halfway through n3 kanji, I think the vocabulary you learn when practicing for jlpt doesn't overlap a huge amount with the Japanese that people use while chitchatting
I guess it's somewhere between 2 and 3. Depending on your perspective.
lesser quality works are way more likely to get translated, because they're easy to translate, for your average isekai an n5 kanamonkey is good enough, for more mature and elaborate works you'd need someone with better than n1 knowledge and those people won't translate 6 volumes for free
There's also enough translated manga to last you a lifetime.
>learning japanese so you can fall for Todd's propaganda in another language
It depends on the topic. Like, sure I can listen to those "advanced" japanese learning podcasts. But real ones dedicated to some very specific topics are another kind of beast.
Same for video games and anime and shit. I.e. RE2 was piss easy, MH wasn't because of all the hunting jargon and convoluted skill descriptions and shit.
But most of them are shit.
I guess I only listened to podcasts where people waffle on about daily stuff, I started watching streamers lately though and the parts that I didn't understand where either the names of foods or japanese memes
>skipped on my reps today
I knowo
Cool Mary save me please.
It also depends on how high your standard for "understanding" stuff is. A lot of people think they understand shit just because they grasp the context and their brain fills up the holes. I don't think it should count. You don't get shit unless you can pause at any moment and dissect complete meaning and context of every single sentence you hear/read. Not doing that may make you feel better about yourself but it's also not productive for learning.
whatever, Yea Forumsutist
I learn japanese so I can consume my waifu’s media without relying on some middleman from tumblr.
Well I dunno what you're watching either, I have this on the background now and I don't know how could you have trouble understanding anything in it, other than the occasional tetris terms, but then again it's not like most people would know what a T spin is despite speaking English
youtube.com
>quickly distinguish between that fucking niggerion of kanjis with 青,責 and 糸 radicals in them
It's piss easy if you learn to write, moreover 青 is phonetic most of the time.
It's okay, I'm having fun struggling.
Well, yeah. Of course this one is easy since it's just a bunch of generic ass exclamations and her describing what is happening on the screen.
youtube.com
Try this. Hard mode: do it without looking and try describing to yourself precisely what the each report was talking about.
Seems like a waste of time, I can barely write my alphabet's 59 letters in a manner that is legible for anyone but me.
I was learning to write from the very start, they are still a bitch. 青 being phonetic is also kind of a bitch because you have to just memorize whether it reads as "sei" or "shou" in each word.
some official got drunk and was harassing a girl and they're starting the investigation about it now
the next one was some research about AI and you could show that to me in english and I wouldn't understand half of what they're saying because I'm not an AI expert
you know unless you want to be a lawyer or an AI researcher in japan I don't think you really need any of this, if you just want to chat up girls and do some basic job then the vocabulary that the girl playing tetris has is good enough which is about N2 level, reading a research paper about AI technology goes way above N1
>reading a research paper about AI technology goes way above N1
Thing is: this isn't a program for engineers or lawyers. It's a regular ass news report aimed at an average Japanese adult. It is n1 level, sure, but it's not some you can excuse not understanding if you want to live there.
But I just got accepted to a PhD program in Japanese. Am I fucked?
My friend is doing one. He studies every day, but doesn't overwork and just parties and fucks Japanese girls in his spare time.
nah I can perfectly excuse not understand AI research, it is aimed at japanese adults with high education and interests in these subjects
if you go to japan and chat to a girl in a bar she won't start quizzing you about technology and law terminology because she doesn't know any of that shit either, she probably works at a factory or some shit
your expectations are way too high, if you go japan with speaking no japanese you can get by with some luck, if you go there with n4 you're pretty much good you just need to ask an official to help you with papers, with just n2 you're perfectly set for life, and streamers like that girl use n2 level of japanese
>Only obscure and lesser quality works are untranslated.
keep begging for translation, especially in the near future where piracy apocalypse will surely happen
>f you go there with n4 you're pretty much good you just need to ask an official to help you with papers, with just n2 you're perfectly set for life, and streamers like that girl use n2 level of japanese
Imagine being this much of a DJT EOP.
...
dude, not every japanese person is a lawyer or a scientist, what the hell world are you living in
you basement dwelling nerds overvalue language knowledge way too much, interacting with people isn't that hard, you don't need to be a language professor to do it
You don't need any Japanese with that attitude, fagboy.
>understanding a TV news report about AI aimed at japanese grannies = being language professor
also it's funny that you'd call me an eop, does it look like I speak native English to you? sure I'm not putting a lot of effort into talking right now but I think it still looks pretty wank, and English is more like the third language for me, I speak my native, then I learned German, then I learned English
I never learned how to read research papers about science or law in English and it's still good enough to fool you into assuming that I'm a native, you don't need any more in Japanese either, know enough that you can get by, chat to people and you're good
well you know, languages are about communicating with people, not sitting in your room spending years studying something and acting all haughty about knowing more than someone else, if that's what you like then learn physics
I don't think grannies watch something like that, or even have an inkling of what AI is, go around your circle of friends and ask how my of them regularly watch programs about AI research, well, if you have a circle of friends that is
All those seinen manga that are too hard to translate for N4 seamonkeys won't translate themselves, my mate. learn nip now! invest your time to get the skill! the sooner the better!
>I don't think grannies watch news reports on TV
my grandmas are watching soap operas and priests talking about christian stuff on christian channels
maybe if your grandma is a lawyer she enjoys programs about judges and whatever, but just go and ask your grandma what she thinks of the latest AI discoveries
I'm not a native speaker of English either. And trust me I communicate with Japanese people everyday. I kind comes together with living here in Japan.
yeah and you guys talk about the AI research you saw on the news all day I bet, not just chitchat about everyday events
is an hour/ hour half a day worth it, or should it be more?
We don't. But I feel warm knowing I could if I wanted to.
I feel warm when I'm eating a nice soup, I don't need so spend years learning useless shit for that
That depends on how impatient you are with seeing results
>an hour/ hour half a day
As in "1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes"? That's plenty. But even 15 minutes a day will get you somewhere if you stick with it.
I don't count it by hours, I'm just trying to learn 5 kanji a day, however long it takes during that day
Not him, but I don't have to remember technical jargon to actually describe whatever the fuck a news report was talking about in neither English nor my native language.
Believe it or not, you also have to be able to read local legal documents regardless of whether you are a lawyer or not.
Good luck using your lame ass excuses when you get scammed by a shitty real estate broker because the text in contract wasn't as easy as spoken language of a video game streamers and bunch of uneducated Japanese whores who put out with westerners.
Depends on how good your program is, how concentrated you are going to be during that hour and how long are you willing to wait for results. I.e. this isn't nearly enough if you want to reach n3 level in less than 2 years.
>needing 2 years to reach a you-know-nothing level, N3
You should aim at half an hour to hour of anki (more than an hour means you do something wrong) and at least two hours of consuming content: listening or reading. The more the better.
Sure it is. An hour and a half per day is plenty to reach N3 in two years.
After around two and a half years J-CAT gave me N2, and I think I studied less than an hour per day on average.
I know a bunch of niggas who study daily or semi-daily who still haven't done it after 4+ years. Don't assume you are going to do better than them unless you are willing to work harder.
Hey I can read doujins pretty comfortably now.
no way. doujin is already harder to read than any shounen shit simply because they don't have furigana.
It's going. I have a dedicated 2 hourish long study time every weekend and then reviews throughout the week. In my current pace I should have most conversational kanji learned by mid 2020.
you won't be able to dissect it and analyse it sentence by sentence either, you'll just give a vague summary of "they talked about something like this I guess"
so you ask an official or a friend, if you want to be a 100% self sufficient in everything you do in your life without any help from anyone then enjoy spending 5 times more time on everything than it is normally needed
japanese native people get scammed, and english natives get scammed in america too, that's hardly an excuse for anything, don't sign stuff about real estate without your lawyer's opinion, this applies regardless of where you live and what languages you speak
everyone in the chat is japanese as well, but thanks I'll hang out with whores and uneducated japanese people because I don't have a phd in AI research so I don't want to talk about that, not in English, not in German, not in my native and not in Japanese
but you can enjoy studying 5 years learning how to read science articles so when you get to japan you can chat about the weather while washing dishes
Furigana is useless for non-natives because you don't learn words without their kanji writing like Japanese kids do.
It makes looking stuff up way easier, though.
>w*nik*ni
>not studying daily
>learning "conversational kanji" instead of words
...do you even know what furigana is?
Why would you need furigana, doujins usually don't have very uncommon kanji
What do I use after tobira?
I do review daily, but more importantly I live in Japan and my girlfriend doesn't even speak English so I'm forced to use the stuff I'm learning. WK is just so I progress through the kanji and vocabulary.
If you've watched 5000 hours of anime before learning japanese you'll know what e.g. 素敵 means before you know even a single kanji
>2 hourish long study time every weekend
Lmao. See you in 2022. Maybe will be able to read Doraemon by that time.
baka howaito piggu being used by jap woman
I knew words like 確かに ages earlier than learning the kanji, you're full of shit.
cool story bro!
Learnt hiragana in 3 days...
A friend of mine got approved by MEXT and goes to do his phd in april, I'm postulating to do my masters there in july.
Ah, then you're good.
These meme words still make up less than 5% of vocabulary used in shounen manga. In fact it would take you like a month at best to just learn kanji for them alone.
>japanese gf
AHHHHHHH ITS NOT FAIR I WANT ONE TOO FUCK THIS WORLD FUCK EVERYTHING REEEEEEEEE
32~ kanji per 2 weeks is enough for me, especially with all the vocabulary and readings that come attached with those.
just watch some news about ai research and fuck conversational kanji or listening to uneducated whores, you don't need those
Thanks user, I am aiming to be N5 by july and N4 by december/jan
Just learn kanji through vocabulary
>I'm postulating to do my masters there in july.
try reading non non biyori if you're an N4 shitter. if you fail to understand the content, repeat your N5 lesson you worthless shitstain.
my anki reviews are about 80-90mins in general. which is fine on days off. but I do long weekend shifts 13hrs sat,sun and mon. It really eats into my free time then. the though of missing a day and catching up fills me with dread.
>try reading non non biyori
Don't do that, it's worse than the anime (though not bad). Read Sketchbook instead.
Hard mode: mine all the insect and plant names with their respective kanji
Still salty about that?
>learn kanji through vocabulary
Fuck you and fuck every lazy fat ass bitch sperg who spews this meme. Wasted a year doing that and then progressed 5 times faster by actually studying kanji properly.
Don't do this shit. Even something as minuscule and non-time-consuming as 5 kanji per day is better than that meme.
Man, I love how Yotsuba was memed into being reading recommended for beginners. I wonder how many people have given up solely because of reading it.
How many card reviews do you have per day? How many time do you spend on each one? 90 minutes is not normal unless you're writing shit.
Eroge.
Is it worth it to go to Japan just to force myself to learn the language?
I've been doing some progress in anki but i'm adhd as fuck and some days feel like torture.
>bro just ankidrone instead of actually reading stuff
It's not really hard, there's a lot of casual speech and whatever but if you watch anime you should be familiar with it
Then don't learn it?
i do write everything down, is that not normal?
>bro just ankidrone instead of actually reading stuff
Never said to not read stuff. You will hardly remember anything if you do just that though.
just mocking stupid people, but I guess it's the matter of objectives, if I'm going to Japan then I want a simple job and talk with uneducated whores, preferably ones that like anime and video games, so I'm happy with learning enough Japanese to do that, if you want to go around AI research conferences and shit then I guess you better keep up with those news, now if you're not a phd in AI then it looks a bit silly though
...
Not really, but if you do it's really good for drilling shit into your brain.
>if you've watched enough anime you should be able to understand this
Keep telling yourself that djt-kun, maybe you'll pass N5 someday.
Why not both?
You clearly haven't completed your 10000 hours of anime yet. You can't learn Japanese.
It's not something that's usually done because it's very time-consuming, but I do that too and feel it really helps.
I do exactly that, and it's taken me forever to make it to volume 12 (I don't have a ton of time to read, to be fair). Kobako obviously missed out on a career as a taxonomist, or at least an entomologist.
It's always weirdly disconcerting how I can fly through some chapters in ten minutes, and then the second Kurihara opens her goddamn mouth it can take me days to thoroughly understand everything (ditto when the other characters go on one of their "let's discuss idioms" binges).
Next up, Ryushika Ryushika!
How many cards do you guys review per day?
I have the worst memory. I started with 30 words daily to see how it will go, had to lower that to 5 and even then it kept piling up. In the end I had to accept that I'm retarded.
Around 50 because I mine pretty slowly
But 900 today because I finally stopped neglecting core
Stop adding new words until you get good retention for the ones you've already learned.
I recently finished my mining deck, so I only get like 120~150 reviews a day nowadays. Used to be like 225 + 25 new cards.
Even if I JUST wanted to know it for entertainment (not exactly true) there's tons of shit it'll be useful for. While anime feels mostly solved translation-wise, there's still some older shows and kids anime like duel masters out there not getting subbed. Manga isn't in as good a place as anime, there's a lot more in that world with either an incomplete translation or nothing at all. It'll help tremendously for light novels and visual novels too, with how much slips through the cracks. Let's not forget all the drama CDs and radio shows too. Plus I've been getting into idols, and even a lot of the mainstream 48G content has no fucking subs somehow, let alone all the streams and content from other idol groups.
I'm in the same boat but im learning the gradeschool kanji and the vocab at the same time. I thought the numbers system was cool and easy until I was told that the japanese have specific ways to count things
Fuck.
Just memorise the Hiragana and Katakana, don't write them.
I can't read something while listening to j-pop anymore since I can actually understand the lyrics now and it's distracting (and embarrassing).
>know stroke order, readings and example words for more than 1500 kanji
>still can't write kanas and regularly mistake some of them
So far the only odd thing for me was that they count things in ten thousands, but appearently the chinese do the same.

Welcome to the first of many, many, many Hells you will experience along the road to giving up on learning Japanese.
You just get used to it. it's pointless to memorize all of them since there are way too many.
dude just memorize them lmao, just like, watch more anime
so do you guys use a jap keyboard or no?
There's like hundred of them. You can learn them very quickly if you already know kanji and put your mind to it.
Oh those are fine, I don't think it's a huge problem even if you mess it up.

When you're starting out it definitely does. Eventually you stop noticing, though—I use a Japanese wireless keyboard but my laptop has a US layout, and I barely feel the difference when I switch.
強い!
*否、貴方様は天才で御座います

I got my bachelors, and I have the opportunity to study there through MEXT, I have the test july and they make you have a test in Japanese and English
Not even japanese people use japanese character keyboards. I never met one who does and i live in japan
それは役満のライジングサンです、三倍満ではない
But you can add your shit to anki with a regular keyboard. Windows allows you to type in japanese via romanji.

I think he does well enough considering how bad the English on some posts are, although he managed to struggle on one of my posts for >5 min and I'm sure I don't write that badly.
I doubt he is seriously trying to learn much here and it's just for fun.
Never had one of those sadly,only a couple of 倍満 and that one
heard you guys like mahjong

Sanbaiman is rarer than Yakuman. since if your hand went above 10 Han, you're probably going to reach 13 Han (Yakuman) anyway.
When I was starting I used to hit 200 reviews with 20 new cards, but that burnt me out super hard after a couple of months doing it to the point I stopped, so when I restarted I dropped it to 15 with about 100 every day
user, if you can't understand layman-oriented news articles about slightly technical topics, you might be the stupid one.
How often do people IRL say ふんいき vs ふいんき?
know that I've only ever heard ふいんき in anime.
I can't understand those in any language, nor do I want to, I guess I'll enjoy being a stupid dishwasher with 1/5th time invested while you enjoy being a smart dishwasher with 5 times more time invested
>血 and 皿 mean completely different things
>only just saw the difference between their kanji
Am I gonna make it?
I don't think I've ever heard ふいんき, I think you're just shit at listening comprehension.
Check out 惑 and 感
This is my biggest pet peeve with Japanese right now. I can know every single word and every single grammar structure and still struggle trying to read harder texts or message boards where people don't bother to make their posts easy to read.
Heh, should have studied radicals, nerd.
>spaces

DEKINAI
Not with whatever shitty font it is that you're using.
No, it's definitely a common alternate reading.
Yeah, when it comes to sentence order I think they've actually managed to come up with something even more bullshit than kanji.
That's what you get when you take something out of context. Japanese relies on it very heavily, but if have it you'll have no problems.
>That example.
Cats do not have crimson red heads.
Normal speech puts adjectives as they go.
Only literature has any reason to toy excessively with the word order.
If you come across someone who is clearly ignoring the traditional word order, s/he clearly doesn't do it with the intent of everyone understanding him/her clearly.
Etc. Etc.
This is a JLPT issue, not a real world one.
Isn't that a flaw, that a language has to rely on context so heavily?
Didn't he just wrote "yes, phone exists"?
The を makes the phone into the object, so the subject defaults to "I".
You don't seem to know English or Japanese
You wouldn't use を there
No. People usually don't like redundancy.
For example, cases let you know the function of a word in a sentence without any context, and people universally hate them.
There's no way I'm going to put that much time and effort into learning something when I've already gotta work, gym, bike, masturbate, watch anime and play games on a daily basis.
I wish I'd have the backbone for the runes though
are you implying that page is difficult?
Says (You). I started learning Japanese because my favorite manga stopped getting regular translations. That was a year ago. It has been worth it so far.
what manga was it?
The one featuring this cute aunt, of course.
How is that different from investing time and effort in any other hobby? If anything it saves money you'd be wasting in anything more physical like sports
>mitu
I hate how japs romanize their words
Once you start reading raw manga you will realize that those
>translations
suck and are mostly made by people who are just learning the language. And I am being civil here. This probably applies to all other forms of Japanese media, too.
They were denied cu for "reasons unknown" and tu does not exist in Japanese. Hence it's a no-brainer to go with tu instead of tsu.
Not that page necessarily, but the use of language in Yotsuba is so nuanced that there's no way a beginner will be able to understand even half of it.
俺TUEEEEEEEEEEEEE
nigger
It's not like cases are the only option, English doesn't have them and the pictures still would be described by five different sentences. When it comes to simplicity of sentences, the optimum seems to be somewhere in the middle, so you don't have to fuck around with 20 cases in three genders for every word, but you also have the means neccessary to accurately convey the exact meaning.
KANPAI, YOU BITCHES
It's easy to read and understand.
But the more you know, the more all the various quirks start making sense.
This one's probably because that's how they type it out on a keyboard.
Can confirm. For instance, CR's subs are subpar at best. They often change sentences and ignore subtleties in the name of localization.
Am I allowed to die? Why should I even live. Please kill me.
My favorite thing about Japanese is writing the kanji for one word and adding the furigana for a different one
Thanks user, I'll keep trying.
Easiest way to spot a chunni writer. I love it too.
>compound kanji word
>furigana is a chuuni engrish word in katakana
Every time.
黒騎士 (ニグレド)
Kanji: Earth Shattering Hammer
Furigana: Thor's Hammer
When you're first trying to read I don't think you mind missing out on a lot as long as you're understanding some of it and getting used to reading.
It's not like many people bring up better alternatives for easy manga.
Kanji: winner
Furigana: LAST MAN STANDING

People perceive language learning as a chore and project onto others. And it's hard to blame them given the conventional wisdom on how language is supposed to be learned. I mean just look at this thread full of misguided anons learning to pass exams instead of pursuing genuine knowledge.
I read something recently where the furigana was just more kanji, that's some real fucking high level nip.
>when the kanji says the name of the character, but the reading is 俺の仲間
In some VN I've seen a word that was written in one way, had furigana for another, and was read in a third way.
I’m not going to learn japanese because I’m lazy. Also I’m a virgin.
t. Frogposter from /pol/
Post some fucking frogs then, you fraud.
I’m on my phone right now
So why exactly do they do this again?
Of course you are.
It's cool.
Kanji is tied to the meaning, not the pronounciation. They just play with that unique quirk of their language.
It's かっこいい.
Does anyone know what materials are the best to help me continue learning? I took Japanese all 4 years of highschool but that was 2 and a half years ago.

I'm confused,should I just learn jap or just develop an AI to autotranslate?Or let anons do the translations for me?Or spend my life shitposting?
>develop an AI to autotranslate
Teaching Japanese to a regular intelligence is hard enough.
>I'm confused,should I just learn jap or just develop an AI to autotranslate?
If you knew anything about AI, you'd also know how non-trivial that is and that it's balatntly easy to prove a perfect translator AI is not possible. Only varying degrees of bad.
At least for the give text, get translation model.
There, I just saved you hours looking up the basics of AI which you clearly don't know.
>a perfect translator AI is not possible
It's possible with a general strong AI. But with it everything is possible.
Well, aren't translations by people also just varying degrees of bad?
>make AI that translates literally
>people whine that it sounds bad in english
>make AI that localises everything
>people whine that it's too far from the original text
With translations you always lose
Depends. I was talking specifically about the text model for a reason.
A human doesn't have to rely on that alone. And indeed, stuff goes south very quickly when they do.
To make a perfect translation, you'd have to describe the entire context of what was happening when the sentence was ushered.
"Granny came downstairs, me and my siblings were standing around in this or that place, it was this time, we were wearing these things, he had had an argument with granny the other day,.." is the context, now tell me what he meant when he said "Sorry, not sorry."
And this just gets more and more ridiculous when you go a step further and try to explain the setting of a wuxia anime to the AI so it could make a translation of a retarded move name that is based on the internal lore of the setting.
is right, but his argument basically comes down to "Well, if you make a perfect human copy..."
He's probably too stupid anyway, but you still shouldn't give people ideas like that.
>the furigana are man'yougana
>the furigana is pronunciation guide in hiragana, but it's still incomprehensible ancient kanbun bullshit
It's not like anything will stop Google from making one and enslaving (or killing) us all in like 10 years.
If it works as well as the jp->en translator, then I'd say it won't be able to enslave shit.
>the furigana have furigana
>but wait, those aren't kana at all
>the second tier is hangul
>hangul
Why not just kanbun it?

Yeah. I'm still glad I learned.
its because you have to pay money to apple to make iOS apps. all other systems are free. but they do charge a lot. I'd recommend just using the site and making cards on your computer
This is how EOPs cope.
So at what point should I start reading? I know Anki is supposed to go hand in hand with consuming media, but is it even possible to read anything when I know like only 100 kanji. Should I just be reading baby books?
you should be reading eromanga
Drink beer.
I started reading at 1k into core, you can decide your own arbitrary cut-off point
You should measure your knowledge in words, not kanji. At about 1000 you are good to go.
>Should I just be reading baby books?
No. Pick some sol manga and stick through it.
100 kanji ago, I'd say. Be prepared to check every single kanji you see, though, and move at like 2 pages per day.
I started reading manga when I knew only 100 kanji. Took me two weeks to go through the first chapter and many months to finish it, but it was fun, and that's what counts.
>started studying japanese 3 months ago
>haven't learned anything
Don't give up user. It takes time before it becomes useful.
Did you even remember any of the new words if you're having to look up that much? Looking up everything for 2 pages a day and then moving onto the next doesn't feel like it'd reinforce anything you learn.
Maybe it's just my shit memory as I've got some words with over 20 lapses in Anki so seeing it a couple of times in a manga probably wouldn't do anything.
Nah, you write them down and memorize using a method of your choice. They go in much more easily if you know the context.
>Listening to native speech
>anime
Never do that. Watch movies, news, whatever. Just not anime. They don't speak naturally. If you pick up "anime accent" there will be no help for you.
I'll have to start giving it a proper go soon. I've ended up with 25Gb of raw manga so I'm sure there's at least something there I can work with.
Bunch of bullshit, voice actors in anime speak clearly while people on TV jabber a lot. The way normal people talk is closer to anime voice actors than stuff in TV. Sure don't end your sentences with nano desu~ but I'm pretty sure everyone can figure that much.
>Sure don't end your sentences with nano desu~ but I'm pretty sure everyone can figure that much.
You can do it if you're a cute little girl.
This is why I kinda dislike Slime Isekai WN, where half the skills names and stuff are exactly like this. I prefer the English LN TL by yen press.
>I only read manga
Inside being this plebian
If you hate chuuni fun so much why do you even read isekai
Also don't use ore if you are a 20-something. They will catch you are a weeb immediately.
You pick up stupid stuff without thinking. I am still fighting with ~わね.
When do you use ore in real life? I get that boku and watashi are standard choices and the rest is very situational.
I've heard japanese guys in their twenties use ore before, I just use watashi though.
I don't think anyone would particularly mind that.
The amount EOPs miss out on, without even realising it, is just absolutely fucking insane. I played a game a year ago, it's translated now, but the fucking audio dramas aren't. The 4koma isn't, the manga adaptation probably won't even get scanned, nevermind translated. The staff interviews where they talk about the themes of the work and what they have planned for the future are so far off the table that it's a fucking joke.
And this isn't just a particular work. EVERYTHING is like this, as an English only peasant it's like you're living in a tiny opaque bubble, and you think everything is "fine" because you cannot even comprehend what is outside of it.
Are raws for older not super popular manga significantly harder to find than their scanlated counterparts or am I just doing it wrong?
post your last N1 result /djt/
You should never read, only play eroge.
Japanese pirates are fucking retarded, so even if you find something it will look like shit.
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?
Scanlation groups are fucking retarded and don't release the raws because they assume everyone is an EOP
Is piracy even that much of a thing in Japan? Niggas refuse to cross empty 2-line streets unless the light is green. Wouldn't put it past them to never actually pirate anything.
>finally find raw manga scans
>it's 500x500 and in a fucking epub file
But i want to be manly
no, and if you're not sure, don't fucking waste my time with retarded suggestions
It's usually because they paid for them and don't want some cheap faggot mooching off them.
Yup. Congrats on you 1st day of learning Japanese.
Japs upload a ton of shit to nyaa
But they're happy to release the versions they've spewed diarrhoea all over, right? Fuck scanlators, I have more respect for fucking chinks.

>if you already know kanji

>t. dekinai
>that's 1.5-2 years of consistent near-daily effort just to get the joyo
What's embarrassing is that you probably believe this. The joyo should take you 3 months, and that's with memorising common readings, not some gibberish like RTK.
en.wikipedia.org
I want to read this and I know for a fact that I'll die before a complete English translation is available.
Because they're releasing the English version to people who would never read the Japanese one anyway, if you want to read in nip, you gotta buy it.
nah, actually knowing them and being able to use and read them in varied contexts along with relevant vocabulary to some degree of fluency will take an average learner with a life that long. i'm sure you mastered your flash card deck, though.

The best way of getting pirated japanese stuff is share, but I'm too stupid to figure out how to open IP ports and shit
Don't listen that idiot. Learning more than 5 kanji per day is literally the worst idea ever. You won't be able to remember it in near future no matter how good your memory is. Especially if you cross 1000th kanji boundary.
That's not what you do with games in Japanese.
"tomorrow" isn't the same as "next day" in english, either。it doesn't seem that weird to me.

>mfw i'm watching stuff on youtuba in jp while people beg for CC subs
You 遊ぶ games.
it's been 9 days and i don't know shit
I couldn't match 85% of these kanji to their readings or vocab
Though I can match the furigana to the vocab. So I guess I'll understand speech
At this point I've probably forgotten a few of the shit ones that are only in there for historial reasons, but I'd say I remember about 2k off the top of my head.
I did 20 a day without an issue, and then did 100 vocab a day for a few weeks because of how easy core 4k becomes when you already know all the kanji. Past that point you start running into more unfamilar words so you have to cut it down to a more manageable pace, but learning 20 new things a day is really the minimum.
It's been a good few years since then, and I still remember them. SRS is a magical thing.
>今よりあとに来る日。将来の日
>tomorrow
No. And the other meaning is way out there
That's your translations.
Peak Dunning-Kruger. It does not mean tomorrow. That's what the original user was complaining about. At least look it up before looking like an idiot
Explain further please. There is so much untranslated japanese shit I couldn't find elsewhere.
そうかい?
It's a japanese p2p system, like what winny was before the government started cracking down on it. There's guides around the internet but I haven't managed to figure out how to use it.

At least getting all the kana gives you the ability to read sound effects that are left in translated stuff. Gives you something over someone that knows none already.
so how do you read 私?
kata is super strange for me, because they transform english word into retarded shit, first time reading overlord raw...the furiganas.

Hello, 日本語 babbies.
ORE!!!!!!!
Right. Just like tomorrow isn't the same thing as next day in English. The same holds true for two other languages I speak, so I'm guessing it's something about human nature to give a special sound for a day that comes after today.

Good job, son. But honestly, instead of drilling all those words in the most dry, unexciting and boring way possible you could have read a lot of manga series. A lot. You would have more fun and would be at the same place as you are right now. But to everyone his own.
i really like the japanese keyboard on cellphones to the point i'd consider becoming a phoneposter for it
You're like a baby. I used to do 30 kanji per day and recall 20-25 in my prime days, while having a job. I got bored by the 1400 mark and switched to vocab mining.
Hiragana and Katana shouldn’t take more than an afternoon to memorize. If you’re already having trouble you should give up now.
Real men learn 文言文
>Japanese school children learn hiragana and katakana in 1 (one) afternoon
Retard.
Not him but an adult man is likely going to be easier at memorizing something than a japanese schoolchild
Regardless, memorizing some 100+ characters in one afternoon (at least enough that they stick) is unreasonable
>i have the mental capacity of a 5 year old
going to be better, even
>adult man is likely going to be easier at memorizing something than a japanese schoolchild
That's not how brain development works
hey wasn't this general purged years ago
FOR FREE
they way i did it was just writing the tables over and over again until i got them down, and then doing it once a day until it was as easy as reading the alphabet
then the second half of the japanese syllabary is just understanding how digraphs with diacritics modify pronunciation
I don't think you understand, I HAVE read a lot(A LOT) of manga series. And I was able to do that because of Anki. Manga largely doesn't teach me anything new anymore, it's too basic. I don't know how large my actual vocabulary is, but I think it's a couple thousand words more than what I have in Anki. I've completed several 100+hour RPGs, watched hundreds of hours of Japanese television/anime without subtitles, about a hundred episodes of a Japanese podcast, the list goes on.
You're not wrong that I would have had more fun at the beginning if I had naturally acquired my foundational vocabulary, but you're wrong about the other part. I would be much farther behind where I am now if I had not used Anki.
Shhh, I started studying all the way back shortly before it was kicked off, this is a nice rush of nostalgia for me.
It's not?
Just one small correction:
>10ヶ月の努力の挙句
This isn't the correct usage of あげく. Some alternatives:
10ヶ月励んできた挙句、
10ヶ月頑張ってきた挙句、
10ヶ月足掻いてきた挙句、
I think you get the idea. If you wanted to keep your initial sentence structure instead of 挙句, you'd be best off replacing it with 結果 or 成果 or something similar. That said, good job user. Your grammar is really impressive for 10 months.
Yes, it is. You have no excuse for not being able to memorize a simple syllabic alphabet.
Not him but no they really aren't comparable. When you're a child the part of your brain responsible for language skills is basically running on overdrive, but as you grow older you become less and less susceptible to learning new languages. Which is why children living in multi-lingual households or environments can easily become fluent in multiple languages without even being formally taught, whereas you or I struggle to gain basic competence in a single language despite months or years of constant study.
I knew about children being more proficient at picking up languages but in this case we're talking about pure memorization of kana
If you sat a child down and some adult man down and told them to memorize like 100 characters within an afternoon I would think the adult man would be able to memorize them better
I'm not arguing over whether memorizing an alphabet in one day is easy or not.

>New neurons and new memories: how does adult hippocampal neurogenesis affect learning and memory?
>Without neurogenesis, new events (represented by different shapes) are limited by the set of sparse ‘codes’ (combinations of active neurons) provided by mature granule cells in the dentate gyrus. This can lead to the dentate gyrus not having the flexibility to encode new memories well or to interference between memories formed in the hippocampus (shown as a cluster of memories in a projection of the high-dimension hippocampal ‘memory space’). New neurons (shown in green) provide new sparse codes for encoding new information, while older memories are preserved because they are represented by older neurons (shown in red). This can facilitate the formation of new memories while avoiding catastrophic interference, saving older memories (shown in the left panel as two separate clusters of memories in a projection of the high-dimension hippocampal memory space). The three-way arrow indicates that new neurons can change how memories are encoded in the hippocampal network. Neurons born at different times (shown in green and blue in the right panel) represent different inputs, and the sparse codes generated at a particular time are clustered together (active neurons in a population are similar in composition to one another), separately from sparse codes that were generated at a different time, essentially encoding time into new memories.

>Human hippocampal neurogenesis drops sharply in children to undetectable levels in adults
>When you're a child the part of your brain responsible for language skills is basically running on overdrive
This is a common misconstruance of reality. The thing that's remarkable about children's language acquisition abilities is the fact that they do it with no prior linguistic foundation, they aren't actually much faster at developing high-level language skill than adults. They attain low-functioning fluency at an early age, but children are typically not fully developed in their language abilities until high school. That's twelve years of active language building if we're being really conservative. Meanwhile an adult foreign language learner that's really dedicated can become fully fluent and develop advanced language skill in a fraction of that time. It will be much more difficult and it is necessarily a more active process, but adult brain function is developed more across the board.
I acknowledge the fact that children memorize things differently, but memorization(dependent upon the brain's proclivity towards formation of new neural connections) and comprehension of the whys and hows of a language(dependent upon the possession of an already well-developed mind) are two different things.

What a fresh hell this is.
At least I occasionally supplement my "learning" with reading posts from 5ch.
I was never a NEET, but I feel your pain. I transferred to a proper Engineering School from the community college I was at and it's impossible to find time. I already passed N1 but I'm worried that I'll atrophy.
You will, no doubt about that, happens with any skill.
If you actually did the work, you'll find that refreshing yourself later on will be much easier than when you were green and learned new things, so it's not too horrible.
Me, I was bad before, probably N4 or worse, but now I started a degree that'll take years.
I also dropped core once some months passed after I completed it, my reps are just my mining deck at this point, and my memory makes an alzheimer senior look like a savant.
How do you study kanji properly?
The first 1000? One by one. After that? Mining vocab.
I can, I only need time.
They’re syllbaries without inherent meaning. All you have to do is remember what sound is associated with which symbol. It’s no different from the English alphabet.
I didn't start learn Nip until I got a job after college where I sit around all day and have a bunch of time to kill. Don't lose hope user.

What are the chances of landing a job in electrical engeneering in Japan? are the jobs really 16 hours a day where the 8 extra hours are unpaid? The pay is a lot higher there than in they country where I had to be born. Moving to the USA would be the best case scenario money-wise.
You only work 8 hours a day in Japan though. I don't know why they would need electrical engineers from overseas though.

I thought Japanese didn't have any consonants besides "n", but aren't ヴ and っ consonants?
They had to accommodate other languages with an official standard and this is the result.
>ヴ
Only exists because of foreign words.
>っ
It's not a sound. It's more of an inflection.
Nips can clearly pronounce non "n" consonants because of っ, but they still pronounce every foreign word that ends in a consonant with either an "o" or a "u." This just grinds my gears.
>tfw Koreans can learn to speak perfect English but the nips will just never get it right

No they just stress the consonant part of the sound more. It doesn't make the vowel go away.
