have any of you done homestay as adult in japan? I'm 29 and pretty interested. I feel like it would be a good idea but want user's input.
Logan Ward
I did it when I was in college as part of the Sister Cities program. It was a great experience. Your city could have something similar.

Jordan Howard
I think it auto-updated
Owen White
am i learning japanese right
William Price
Drop Genki, you don't need it. Use Tae Kim and the DoJG instead.
Matthew Nelson
Probably not if you're having to ask instead of understanding Japanese.
Christian Johnson
I like this OP picture.

Adrian Richardson
I'm very scared for this summer. I'm going to be working at a summer camp for kids in the mountains, and I'm probably going to have to do my Anki every night after everyone else has gone to bed.
Caleb Moore

Thomas Mitchell
Thanks for all the feedback from the previous thread, anons. What I'll do is settle on a set day of the week to dump the links for what new ripped or non-CoR manga that have been uploaded. Sunday sounds reasonable, I think. Any objections? As for the format, how does a single post with links to images sound? Here is an example of roughly how it would appear:
Here is a link to a spreadsheet with the manga which have been uploaded:
The first sheet/page is what has been uploaded. The second sheet/page is what is in the process of acquiring and sorting/uploading. The third sheet/page is a bit of a list of some of the series I'm after. The spreadsheet link should have comments enabled, so if you have any series you'd like to see added feel free to leave a comment with the title and mangaka and I'll see how it fits in with everything else.
Thanks. A furigana field for future uploads would be nice.
Joseph Johnson
Do you take LN requests as well? I'd really really like volumes 3-5 of 終末なにしてますか? 忙しいですか? 救ってもらっていいですか?
Jonathan Kelly
In that case a composite image could be made, with the images scaled down to fit within the limitations of Sup Forums. Image hosting site links posted as well, for larger images.
Sure thing.
Sure, why not? This series? books.rakuten.co.jp/search/nm?b=1&g=101&sitem=���ʤˤ��Ƥޤ���? ˻�����Ǥ���? �ߤäƤ��äƤ����Ǥ���&x=69&y=-24 Ripping these should be more or less the same process. What sort of format would be ideal? Assuming that they will be an ebook with a couple of images alongside a directory of html pages and not actual book scans, the unprocessed ebook rips themselves could be directly uploaded. With the manga rips, the DRM is stripped then the epub is changed to a zip then extracted, removing the extra junk files before naming and uploading but most of that shouldn't be necessary with digital LNs.
Oliver Gonzalez
Yes that. I don't know too much about formats so I'll leave that up to you, I just want to read it. Thank you so so much, this picture shows my feelings right now.
Liam Russell
Since it's a request I'll put it to the front of the list. Maybe this sort of thing could get more anons into reading more Japanese. That would be nice. (｡>﹏
Adrian Morales
Doesアニメ refer only to Japanese produced animation in Japan, or is it used as a catch-all unlike here?
Jace Rogers
Thanks again. Are you buying these or getting them for free?
Jonathan Myers
The latter.
Henry Diaz
So something like King of the Hill or Shrek can be unironically called アニメ?
Jordan Harris
Yes, but only if you're an 11.
Connor Murphy
Yes. It's not actually as weird as you think it is when you remember anime just means animation. It's really the west that turned the word into something else.
Austin Powell
How do you manage that?
I plan on quitting my job and getting a university degree as well, but I'm afraid I'll either struggle with that or my Japanese studies will suffer a lot.
I currently work fulltime + shift which already fucks me up pretty good, but I imagine going to uni, studying for it at home + studying Japanese is fucking hard.
Gavin Clark
I started a discussion about Japanese/Western culture. Please read and contribute if you can, thanks!!
Colton Thomas
Where do I download books? I want to try an ez Japanese novel, but I don't know where I pirate this shit
Hunter Russell
Try some of the resources here?
Blake Parker

Wyatt Gomez
>yfw hentai doesn't mean porn cartoons in Japanese Kimono also just means "clothing". The more I learn Japanese, the weirder it gets to imagine native speakers enjoying their own media so much, when it's all silly literally-named stuff/characters.
Caleb Harris
Next you're going to tell me names aren't actually names and actually mean something.
Aiden Campbell
One thing is having your milk brand represented by a mascot named Cowie, another story is having a seinen setting with a spirit name fucking "Rain" or "Green".
That shit reminds me of furfags who always put retarded names on their Sonic recolors or 3-species chimeras. Stuff like Apple, Chocolate or Pencil, is that normal in English? This approach would never be taken seriously in Portuguese, although people seem to like names in foreign languages that mean trivial stuff, like Blade.
Sebastian Torres
The traditional (and correct) term used to be 和服 but it seems the japs have adapted to 着物 which isn't good and confusing as hell.
Elijah Barnes
How do you keep up an anki schedule when you feel like utter shit some days and amazing on others?
I have these chronic headaches that correlate with feelings of depression/exhaustion that come and go and it really is fucking with my anki reps.
Grayson Stewart
Anki resets in 8 hours. I have some serious sleep debt at the moment, it's already past my bed time and here I am, caught dwelling whether I should do Anki now and fuck up my schedule or set my alarm clock and pile up more sleep debt, since I can at best sleep for 6:30 h now.
Guess I'll sleep, one day or another I'll have to go to bed earlier and fix this mess.
Just remember Anki-chan will be there for you , good night.
Juan Nguyen
Easy, I just skip anki for a week or months at a time then come back when I'm feeling better.
Cameron Gutierrez
Force myself to do it even if I remember less then half of what I've learned and save all new cards to a text file to actually learn them the next day.
Ayden Gonzalez
I really hate that feeling... it sucks. How can you recover your review schedule if you do that? That's what I've been doing... unconditionally completing my anki reviews, barring about 3 days a month, never two days in a row. It gets miserable.
Jonathan Price
>How can you recover your review schedule if you do that? Go through the cycle a few times where you go hard for days at a time then drop again. You eventually remember them all anyways.
Adrian Wilson
Lads,
I'm looking for Japanese subtitles for anime so I can read along with raws.
Where is generally a good place to look for such a thing? I know some Chinese release groups do this, but I don't know where to begin searching.
Looking for Kumamiko in particular.
Joseph Myers
Instead of reading, why don't you improve your listening comprehension? If you want to read, pick up a book.
Joshua Myers
You niggas need to drink more coffee and do your reps first thing in the morning.
Out of sight, out of mind. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to have a shit session I find.
Brody Sanders
I live in Japan. I have all day to work on my listening. Maybe I just want to enjoy some goddamn anime.
Even most Japanese television has subtitles anyway.
Christian Harris
As a bump, I have something to ask about.
呼ぶ can be used to invite someone, correct? I am not sure what specific situations that this will apply, if that is the case. 招待 is used to ask someone to come to an event. 誘う is used to ask someone out on a romantic thing, right?
Brayden Ramirez
What mean phrase と言いたいところ?
Andrew Green
と言いたいところだが*
Leo Ross
呼ぶ 客として来てもらう。招待する。「クラス会に恩師を呼ぶ」
招待 人を客として招くこと。
誘う 自分と一緒に何かをするように相手に呼びかける。何かをしようと勧める。 does not have to be romantic.
is it pokemon? it is roughly "i would like to say, but"
Carson Harris
>Download all three DOJG >they're full rasterized scans, so can't search text >takes 10 seconds for tablet to render each page, so flipping through the index in vain hope of a grammar point is worse than useless
neat my office doesn't have wifi for security reasons though, so I can only read something like this on my phone at work
maybe I'll rip it into some kind of pdf for easy reference
Brayden Parker
Was looking through yaraon this morning and saw this post quoted in relation to expressions manga and LNs should stop using: 「お前」って使うの本当にやめてほしい 地元じゃ問題なかったし漫画のキャラも普通に使っていやがったから 標準語として使えるものだと思ってたのに・・・酷い目にあった
Is "omae" really that odd? Never used it myself, but for close friends it would seem appropriate to me. Am I wrong?
Aiden Ross
Sounds like whoever wrote that was merely just having a whine. Of all the things they could bring up in relation to the writing in LNs, that's probably the biggest non-issue you can find.
Heaven forbid that certain characters in fictional works use different speech patterns than how your average day to day person operates with.
Anthony Powell

Thomas Carter
If someone is playing a video game on the TV, and someone else walks in front of the TV obstructing the players view, and the player then says 死んじゃったろ, does that mean "I'll die(, you know!)" or does it mean something like "I died(, you know!)". Is it future or past?
Can't tell if it makes more sense as 死んじゃっただろう or as 死んじゃってやろう
This thread isn't for translation requests, this is an extremely easy sentence that you don't even need to know grammar for to translate you just need to look up the vocab to figure it out.
Christian Wright
depends on the context, though. Usually, that means "I can't call the person (because of something)" or "It is difficult for me to use a phone" or something.
Charles Thompson
pls no bully pizzaposter
Alexander Peterson
死んじゃったろ and 死んじゃっただろ are correct and the same meaning and past tense.
Like "I died" With the last part of the sentence "ろ" and "ろう" in this case, stands for "blaming" or something.
David Watson
I would never, ever say omae to a Japanese unless I really knew them. I would even avoid using あなた when it isn't necessary.
Isaiah Edwards
o-oh...
Colton Lewis
>死んじゃったろ Wait, what grammar is being used there? I don't understand what the "jattaro" part at the end means.
Luke Rodriguez
wew
Liam Long
Shinu -> shindeshimatta (shinjatta)
Benjamin Hernandez
じゃった is the same as しまった. Like 死んでしまったろ or 死んでしまっただろ じゃった is more casual or slung. I use じゃった. In writing, I might use しまった
Easton Cooper
or in formal , I use しまった
Ryan Price
Thanks for the answer. I assume the ろ at the end is a slangy way of abbreviating だろ?
Justin Morris
No problem.
And yup
Juan Price
Uhm, I don't think so. But I have no idea.
Maybe for foreign speaker, with だろ it might more easily convey the meaning.
Jace Bailey
Does an optimized core 6k deck exist with cloze sentences rather than normal recognition ?
Daniel Adams
アベック Noun 1. a couple (of lovers, etc.) From French “avec”
>From French “avec” Japanese are officially retarded.
Hudson Kelly
What are you trying to say? All languages are riddled with loan words.

Wyatt White
He's saying the word it came from doesn't make sense with the word, but to me it does.
Nathan Brooks
But it usually is in the same lexical category at the very least, even if the meaning isn't the same. Here, they took a PREPOSITION and turned it into a NOUN.
David Gonzalez
we can use 呼ぶ in a meaning of "招待する( invite)" , but it has the nuance which is similar to "call" in English.. We don't use it for the formal invitation. 誘う implies temptation often ~と言いたいところ though I want to say ~ 「お前」is not formal you should use あなた に連れていかれて 彼は地下牢に連れて行かれた He was taken to the dungeon 死んじゃっただろう He would be dead / He might be dead 死んでやろう He wanted to die / He would have wanted to die / He tried to die
Ian Collins
Feels on the same level as Westeners trying to make "emoji" somehow being derived from "emotion". Fuck, I have seen it listed as a top Anglicism (sic) of 2016.
Everyone is officially retarded.
Andrew Reed
>But it usually is in the same lexical category at the very least Absolutely not. It's very common for nouns to become verbs, for example.
Ethan Robinson
>Feels on the same level as Westeners trying to make "emoji" somehow being derived from "emotion". Isn't it from "Emo(tion) 字"?
Brody White
Yup.
Aiden Hall
>you should use あなた
Isn't anata for even more close people? It's often used analogously to "darling" and the likes.
emoji as in 絵文字. It's literally a Japanese word.
Carson Ward
but I find it very creative, flexible to make a word in such ways while remaining the original meaning.
