How to tell if something is a shitpost:
>calls the community made guide/whatever method a piece of shit with no reasoning given why
>insults someone giving helpful advice with no reasoning given why
>attempts to create arguments over virtually nothing (eg opinions without facts)
>"spam questions" that are easily answered via a 1 second glance at the guide
>uses obtuse Japanese fragments interspersed with English to attempt bypass people trying to filter the shitposts
>any mention of anime being shit, or "real Japanese"
>spells the word as romaji

Talking with nipponjins on a japanese chat app sorta like omegle only with no cam
Coversation starts with the usual asl crap
Can't type fast enough cuz baka gaijin
As soon as i say I'm a male the other guy switches conversations

Only way out of this loop is to start pretending I'm a dog spamming wan wan
Mfw it actually works and i got many meaningful conversations started that way

Stop posting this, they will avoid doing what you listed and shitpost anyway.

>literally outlining how to shit post in DJT for newfags

...

thank you for showing me how to shitpost! がんばる!

finally it's thread starter epic meme posting time, the favorite moments of my life

どうもがいても外人は外人なのさ

がむしゃら苦しさ悔しさ

結局何を手に入れたお前は

I like this thread image. Made me chuckle.

Does anyone else think that the 2k6k vocabulary deck is shit?
Like it teaches you words you probably don't need for quite some time but won't give you the basics you need for easy conversations?

I mean, I had days where I learned almost only useful and important words and then there are days there you just ask yourself when the fuck this is supposed to be useful ever.

I would prefer to only learn basics and start reading, but what I've learned so doesn't even remotely allow me to do that.
Kinda feels like a waste of time to be honest.

Holy shit, there IS a way to text hook just about any emulated game:
mx-futhark.github.io/hook-any-text/

Well, at least their options will be pretty limited.
The way I see it is that it tells the mods what to look out for.

alright so just get the yotsuba vocab decks and do those

Someone should do one based on Japanese subtitles for tv shows, or something.

I'm already doing that on top of it.

Not a bad idea, also could need one for hentai vocabulary.

You only think the words are useless because you've never actually read anything. The words in the deck I've never seen irl can be counted on one hand.

中出し、フレンド。

>I'm already doing that on top of it
so whats the problem

this. everything is useful just read more

stop grind start read

The "useless" words share kanji with the common words and knowing/practicing both helps you remember.

Okay I guess I'll shut up and keep doing my reps then.

Doesn't sound as sexy as I thought, it's as sexy as german porn dialog.

I see, didn't think about that before.

...

おそいぞい

That's pretty cool. I've wanted to play Xenosaga I&II on NDS, but it has so much scifi and science info spam that it can be painful.

...

Is it usually easier to read manga or play Japanese games?

I guess games should be easier if they are more focused on gameplay rather than story is that right?

>the more it becomes fun
英語も練習すべき

Any site where I can enter a Japanese books name and read it online or at least check out the first few pages?

kek

日本語 is not fun, 日本語 is the wall separating you from fun

I find games easier because text hooking > manual lookups/image OCR, and voice acting also helps with words that you might not recognize instantly from reading it.

With games you might end up getting time limited text where it's only on the screen for a few seconds while manga won't be going anywhere. Also not sure if you can text hook anything that's not a VN

I heard that's also true for Korean food.

If you're at the level where you are using Core decks you have no clue what are and aren't common/useful Japanese words, so how could you possibly have this complaint?

What's wrong with it?

He's obviously ESL, ignore him. DJT ESLs are some of the worst posters on Sup Forums.

How bad am I holding myself back by not doing production? I'm doing my reps, grammar study, and reading every day but I haven't mustered the courage to go write something or talk to someone in Japanese.

Output is overrated. Just read a lot.

本日の特別な言葉は
自閉症（じへいしょう）

鏡を見たらすぐに意味が分かる
よく覚えて　ね

Production is a waste of time.

see

>鏡を見たら

*鏡を覗き込んだら

>kanji handwriting test
Literally who cares, not even most Japanese can handwrite anymore once they become adults and stop practicing it.

The test is not about handwriting, it's about picking the right kanji to fill in the blank.

...

I'm ignoring/didn't bother to read in the first place all of your advice, and I'm just going to brute force my way through a 200 chapter manga with a dictionary.

日本銀行の試算によりますと、オリンピック・パラリンピックの開催が決まった翌年の２０１４年から２０２０年までの累積の経済効果は２５兆円から３０兆円程度に上るとされています。

翌年の２０１４年
What?? Im pretty sure next year is not 2014

おｋ
do you at least know basic grammar?

sounds like a blast hope it all goes great for ya

youre right it is in fact not 2014 next year good job

The year after it was decided that Japan would host the Olympics.

These are great. Any more materials like this?

I have a question about one of Tae Kim-sama's example conversations. The lesson deals with と to list multiple nouns but my question is about this particular use of の. Here's the passage in question.

スミス： 親子丼の材料は何ですか？
田中： ご飯と玉ねぎとしょうゆです。そして、親子丼だから、もちろん鶏肉と卵です。
スミス： 気持ち悪いですね。
田中： そうですか？でも、おいしいですよ。
スミス： かわいそうじゃないですか？
田中： スミスさんは、面白いですね。本当の親と子供じゃないですから大丈夫ですよ。
スミス： でも・・・。

In the second to last line, can someone explain how is の being used? Is 親と子供じゃない being given the noun property 本当?

may i direct you to the の and と chapters of the holy book of tyler

の is how 本当 becomes an adjective.

>Is 親と子供じゃない being given the noun property 本当?
Basically.

I hope you know grammar as dictionaries have a separate conjugation than what you'll be reading

Year of Jap in high school, can read and write traditional Chinese.
全然難しくね~

祝你好运花花公子

Specifically 親と子供. The sentence means "it's not real parents and children so it's ok."

but then are they fake parents and children? wheres the real ones

谢谢日本狗

I was bored so I made these. Feel free to use them. Or don't.

...

...

Tae kim probably took them, some guys on 2ch told me that koreans like to eat people

...

...

Having trouble parsing this paragraph:

「まだまだ子供ねえ。ほうきはおもちゃじゃありませんよ。いずれはこのかあさんのほうきも古くなるでしょうよ、そうしたらキキのすきなのにしなさい。そのときはあなたも一人前になっているでしょうから」

Context is Kiki wants to fly with her own broom and not the old broom her mom has made her use all her life. It seems Mom won't have it. I get the gist, but I'm not quite sure about the third sentence.

"You're still such a child.
A broom is not a toy.
When you're as old as this broom, then you can do as you like. (*I'm 99% sure I have this wrong)
Because that's when you'll have become an adult."

犬猫だけ食べてと思った

なんてこった

relax with the opacity dude also its cool you made a bunch of gay pics

i like to make a bunch of gay posts maybe we can be friends

...

...

Neat neat neat. If this works properly or ever gets to that point I'd like to try one of the later Pokemon games with it.

...

Make one like this with the teacher please

...

You have diarrhea.

...

Eventually even mom's broom will become old, then you can choose the one you like.

beautiful timing (笑う)

It's easy enough to make it yourself. All you do is slap the image you want on top of the original DJT image and set the transparency to somewhere between 35-50%.

all the main text is too opaque dude i cant read it

also instead of derailing this very fruitful and overall great thread maybe you should have just made a imgur album instead of spam your poor design portfolio in one go

...

On the ones posted, the original DJT image is too transparent imo. Would look better if it wasn't so.

how do i stop confusing 顔 and 頭

Literally impossible, there isn't a single stroke difference that you could use to differentiate them.

Yeah, I tried to fix that but I couldn't select the original text in such a way that the selection tool didn't also pick up bits of the background and make it look even worse.

...

Thanks, the last explanation made the most sense. I'm re-watching the video and reading the entry in dojg and I understand it better

>getting so entrenched in reading a doujin that family members walk by and you forget to even bother with hiding it

...

Have to say I am 賛成 with . The inversed one actually looks kinda cool but all the others are rather poor. Unless you only have one or two more to go it would be best to link them in an imgur album and not fill up the thread with these.

...

Stop spamming anime OP pictures, I can't show this thread to my friends and tell them this is a serious place to learn Japanese ;_;

Alright, that's the last of my shitty pictures.

Oops, forgot about this one.

Gross.

Let's use this one.

Why did you post this?

I wish I could tell you, but I didn't post it. That's not even me.
