What's the most efficient way to use leeches? Should I keep a low leech threshold, or should I keep it at 99 so I don't miss any cards? I know that feel senpai, I want to get good enough to play DanganRonpa V3 in Japanese when it comes out, but sadly it's too late.
Nathan Martin
Anyone know how to remove the DRM from Bookwalker epubs?
Austin Robinson
i dont know the difficult thing, but such a thing is posted in 2ch usually.
Tyler Barnes
Keep it at 8 to depress you whenever a leech happens, but set it so the action to take is "do nothing". Burying cards is for fags.
William Wright
I'm having a bit of trouble grasping こと sentences. What's the difference between these two: それを使ったことがありますか? それを使いましたか?
William Price
>それを使ったことがありますか? Have you ever used that? >それを使いましたか? Did you use that?
Michael Rivera
Anyone using KanjiDamage decks to study? I was pretty happy to find something that combines kanji and vocabulary, but find myself not remembering the vocab at all, just the kanji meaning, which makes it no different from RTK.
Connor Reed
The former emphasizes the fact of the matter that the object in question wasn't used.
Josiah Myers
the こと and 「」と grammar points always make me think Japanese is nothing but teenager slang applied over two centuries. Looks informal as fuck.
Jason Cox
Is this what people mean when they say the japanese past tense "implies completion"? 来た meaning "it's here" and so on
Chase Jenkins
>tfw using honorific form It is as if anything short of ありがとうございます feels informal.

Just passed the 2000 mark in the Core 2/6k deck. Should I keep going or awkwardly stumble my way through some baby manga?
Cooper Hernandez
I haven't even started the Core and I'm already reading Yotsuba. You should have no trouble.

Are you fluent yet? Could you read VNs and LNs if you wanted to without problems?
Problem is that by the next time there is a fix, the paranoid fucks will end up removing all trace of everything moments after they upload it so then maybe four or five other paranoid fucks will have the fix but will be too autistic about the whole thing and we will never get it. The user who uploaded a script to fix one ripping solution had it deleted within minutes of posting. Ridiculous. I really don't like how these paranoid fucks in the ripping scene operate. A good 99% of the time their problems are self caused. They are delusional enough to think publishers like Kadokawa or companies like Rakuten are constantly watching over Sup Forums like hawks when in reality there are DRM removal solutions which have been fine for ages despite them being discussed all over the web. People like that would never put together something like what this thread has with all the resources, guides, etc.

Why not both?

I think kanjidamage was originally intended as a reference, not a complete course of memorisation. If you really want a deck, you should use the "kanjidamage+" deck, that cuts it down to just the mnemonic, the most important readings and the "meaning", which is about as much as anki will manage to stuff into your head. I used that deck myself for a couple of weeks at the start, before I realised that kanji study is ultimately a waste of time for anyone with a reasonably healthy brain.
Isaiah Murphy
I will get there one day senpai
Adam Johnson
Did you just study vocab after that realisation? How did that work out?
Carter Ortiz
Dudebros, anyone got any recommendations for a comfy video series to use as a passive learning resource? Something to watch while I'm eating. I've been studying for around 7 months.
Anthony Flores

I just plunged into core and then switched to mining after about 2500 cards. I'm at about 4,500 vocab now and haven't made a leech yet. I did spend about a week beforehand memorising the kangxi radicals, but I'm not sure how helpful that's been to be honest. If you can find a radical deck of 200 or so cards which focuses on components that have a phonetic influence I would definitely recommend that instead.
Asher Scott
I'm using KanjiDamage. I guesss your retention ability depends on how many new cards a day you're doing. I've been doing 20 new cards a day and picking easy only when i know most of the readings(Usually all of them, unless there are like 4/5 kunyomis and 2 onyomi) and one or two jukugos, and I've got 136 mature cards out of about 550 cards in total. Today I'm changing it to 40 new cards a day(I feel like only 20 is way too slow since it's just 10 kanji because there are reverse cards in my deck) How many new cards a day are you doing and how far in are you? I'm personally enjoying KanjiDamage quite a bit(Like when i start remembering a kanji's onyomi because i remember it takes the reading from another kanji inside it)
Christian Ortiz
た form + ことがある... is a grammer expression meaning have you ever [done X]
so
>それを使ったことがありますか? is have you ever used that before?
while
>それを使いましたか? did you used that?

How to make grids look less shit:
>Tools -> Add-ons -> Kanji grid -> Edit >Replace with body { table, tr, td {border-collapse:collapse; border:0px;}
and searching words and sentences in dictionary employing the kanji before composing your own sentences with it?
Cooper Flores
How long have you been studying for?

thanks australia now i feel dumb
how did you improve handwritten kanji reading

Not the australian, but im guessing stroke order helps
Christopher Mitchell
You're telling me I'm going to have to learn hundreds of kanji?
Ryan Ramirez

Dominic Jackson

Hudson Collins
>50 kanji left I'm gonna make it bois! Thousands, actually.
Caleb Gomez
Well, you are getting it all by just using an anki deck(I'm lazy as fuck, and i usually study on my cell phone while travelling or in the bathroom, so being able to study all those things in one convenient place is nice). You're having mnemonics made for you and the kanji are being split into their components and used in said mnemonic. The Anki deck is not ordered by grade but by radicals and which kanji use which radicals/kanji(It wont show you kanji for which you dont know the components). In my opinion, if you are the kind of person with the willpower to use a list+dictionary and have the time/means to do so, then it is probably better to do so. I'm personally not being all that serious about studying yet(I wanna get a grasp of a lot of kanji and vocab before i start reading, i find it really frustrating having to go to a dictionary or translator) so kanjidamage is probably a good option for me. Im curious: Has anyone studied with the method he depicted?
Kayden Stewart
We believe in you user!
Sebastian Murphy
This is a fake right?
Noah Howard
>implying I'm going to let you intimidate me
Bring on your fucking kanji. I'll learn them just like I learned the kana and wipe that smug ass shit eating smirk off your face. >muh Japanese is hard I'll fucking wipe my ass with this language.
Colton Gonzalez
>Comparing learning kanji to learning kana oh boi, you're in for a ride
Ian Ward
>b-but muh double meanings and strokes! I'll use them as cumrags when I'm done with them.
Xavier Young
Okay seriously where does this picture actually come from? Google isn't being very helpful
Nolan Carter
Don't worry, I have faith in you, Mexicanon. You can do it.
Angel Thompson
You can learn kana in a day/week. Kanji requires perseverance just because of the sheer amount. Having many readings and meanings and compound words and 15+strokes is just a bonus.
Jacob Murphy

Isaiah Torres
How do you style your mining deck senpaitachi? Just started mine, I'll probably change the font and add the sentence where I encountered the word.
Christopher Kelly
I don't remember the source but I'm pretty sure she was a meme since at least DJT #500
>tfw essentially gave up at thread #650 (but not really) >getting serious again literally thousand threads later. Truly she was right I wonder how many anons actually learned japanese by now.
Joshua Butler
in english school, word counts are usually prescribed for essays. how is this done in Japan?
Jose Sanchez
>how is this done in Japan? Japanese has words too you know.
Kevin Green
>how did you improve handwritten kanji reading Reading manga, more or less.
Don't worry about it. You're Mexican, not Mexicant.
Ryan Cook
yeah, but I feel like they would be harder to count because they have no spaces. maybe I'm overthinking this
John Long

Easton Torres
Do a Google search for "lingualift Japanese".
Cameron Ross
For 四, the core2k deck gives a reading of よん and し, and they're both nouns. Does the reading change purely based on whatever set phrase it's attached to, or is there some grammatical thing I'm missing here?
Oliver Sullivan
there are parsers that can roughly interpret the amount of words
but more likely, it would be total length of pages or just character count
that is sort of a special case w/ numbers, look up counting / counters / telling time
James Sullivan
Looks nice, thanks user
Levi Cooper
learn the stroke order, write some out yourself and observe just how ugly your chicken scratch can be when writing fast
the proper stroke order will keep even the fastest scribbles legible (usually), since you can see what they were going for in the flow of their writing, similar to those people who use a strange connected semi cursive style in english
Kevin Cruz
No, you are right. It is kind of a tricky question. Do particles count as words? Does verb-masu count as two words?
I will never get earth and wood sorted out. Just like how Tuesday/Thursday still requires thinking and Jeudi/Vendredi never come to mind when I need them.
Is there any pattern to how the days of the month are called? I've learned both readings for all the numbers, but now I'm trying to learn dates and they're unlike anything Ive seen before(Are these used anywhere else?). I mean things like "tsuitachi", "tooka", "nanoka" and "hatsuka". Also, don't people mistake ""yokka" and "youka" often?
Robert Collins
Do you know the names of the planets in Japanese? Saturday becomes another easy one to remember because it's Saturn (土星) Day.
Noah Mitchell
For english, just think Tuesday is the day number Two(Tue and Two sound alike) of the week.
Kevin Bailey
I'm a native English speaker and I still often get Tuesday and Thursday confused. There's been a couple of times where I asked someone to cover me on the wrong day because of it.
Aiden Bennett
pretty interesting stuff, thanks
Benjamin Williams
I still don't know how to read out the planet names like pic related.
>and I still often get Tuesday and Thursday confused Sounds like a different sort of issue, user.
Aiden Thompson
I'm pretty sure ついたち and はつか are the only truly irregular readings. The rest are just 訓読み.
ふたつ→ふつか みっつ→みっか よっつ→よっか いつつ→いつか etc.
Nolan Clark
oops, I misread some posts... sorry.
David Gonzalez
あと and のち (後) Are they interchangeable? Or there are certain contexts where only one of them can be used?
They are interchangeable in some instances. It depends on the point of reference: あと can refer to after the present or after some other point in time, while のち is only used to mean after some other point in time, with the exception of set expressions like のちほど.
Jeremiah Ward
As I understand it, the kangxi radical deck isn't meant to aid in recognition but to keep you from mixing up similar-looking kanji. When you're familiar with the radicals themselves you have an easier time differentiating between kanji with a one-radical difference.
Brody Martinez
Thks!
Chase Cox
Well, some are pretty weird then: nanatsu -> nanoka yattsu -> youka
Luke Robinson
>水金地火木土天海冥 Explain.
A compound word could actually help me, I thank 春夏秋冬 for making it easy to remember the readings of stuff like 夏期 秋分 春分 冬至.
