Sakubi.

Can someone explain me the difference between souda yo and souda be?

"be" is a regional dialect from the northeast area of Japan.

How do I maintain motivation to learn
Every few months I'll want to learn this language again and I only really study for a few weeks before slowing slacking and eventually quitting

if you do not enjoy it there is nothing that can be done for you

I enjoy it but I just lack the discipline to stick to it and can be quick to lose interest when it gets tough I guess

>trying to understand a joke in my porn game
>have to look up ブルジョワジー
>end up going down a spiral of communist manifesta

how much do you actually study within those few weeks? do you think your discipline is good overall in your opinion? what are some long term goals in your life?

>how much do you actually study within those few weeks?
Not really very much. Try to 1-2 hours a day usually.
>do you think your discipline is good overall in your opinion?
Not really
>what are some long term goals in your life?
I don't really know. I'm neet currently and have been for almost a year. I'm pretty depressed and hikki so my vision of the future is kinda cloudy.

I wanna put belt in the sentence what I must use

はいています or きています ???

つけています

Just always do something every single day, doesn't matter if it is only fifteen or twenty minutes. This, I think, is one of the strong points of Anki; Even if I don't have the energy to read or really study, I can still do some reps and at the very least 'learn' a couple of new words and keep Japanese fresh in my mind.

In my experience there is a sort of inertia involved in these sorts of things. If I'm already doing something everyday, no matter how small, well, then why not try and read a couple of pages of this book that is way beyond my skill level, why not read a couple of chapters of manga, why not try and read up on that grammar thing that was confusing me. And then inversely, every day I haven't touched Japanese I am less and less likely to work at it.

Why are you interested in learning any kind of language to begin with?

I went like that for 7 years, user, but DJT saved my life.

Think about mid-term goals, so you don't get overwhelmed.
In my case, I realized I could learn 2k words in 3 months (that's 80% of all written text), then 6k words in under a year (90%) and 10k in under 500 days (95%).

Of course you can't live off just studying, specially if you draw your motivation from understanding media, but having numbers in your hands can help you find the motivation to keep up doing a little every day.
Never breaking your streak is more important than learning a lot every other day.

We all went through a fase like that.
You just got to do what is fun to you, I hate studying this language so I don't.
I just read manga I'm interested in. Even if I only understand 50% of what is being said. I don't always bother looking up everything either. Fun and doing it daily are more important.

The only thing I do that can be considered "studying" is going my daily reps but I'm doing these during my commute so it doesn't feel like it. Anki is the reason why I bought a smartphone.

Do fun and interesting things and motivation takes care of itself. And if you can't find anything fun or interesting to do in Japanese, then don't learn it.

can i learn japanese?
only to read lns so i dont think i will have to learn it in depth

Learn English first.

>implying i need to learn english to learn japanese
dude lmao

You do need to learn it in depth to understand LNs, at least grammar wise if you plan on looking up every word in a dictionary. You have a lot of work cut out for you mostly because of the large distance between your language and Japanese. You can maybe learn European languages in a very superficial way, but Japanese isn't like that, you either go all in and invest a lot of time on it (counted in years, not months), or you simply stick to translations.

Yeah, good luck using our wonderful resources, Claudiney.

cute

Learning a language is a marathon, not a race. Be determined for the distance, breathe, find the pace that lets you finish the run.

well, i understand perfectly english, sometimes i have to google less known words and their meanings but that's it, what is the problem with my english?

It's too influenced by Portuguese grammar. Anyone can tell that English is your second language and that you're not all that good at it, even if you're capable of getting your point across.

Whops I meant souda ne. Dumb phoneposting auto corrected my stuff and Sup Forums didn't let me type in japanese because it was recognizing it as spam

What would an accurate translation of this be?

That is the only Japanese text blacklisted in 4chins, because of past raids. Every now and then someone gets caught by it.

What is the sentence? Are some of these optional/interchangeable?

can someone explain what desu means

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbo_de_ligação

How am i suposed to know that a totally nonsense symbol means something? it's very dificult to associate the symbol to the meaning, the symbols are all too alike.

git gud? If you can't learn kanji your IQ is probably too low to live in Japan anyway.

read the guide

>live in japan
I just want to read my LNs, i hate how these sissy fags are afraid of cease and desist and always stop translating.

今は何の曲聞いて?

I doubt IQ has anything to do with it.

>he wants to live in japan
>the country where you work 12+- hours a day
The only goodside of japan is they absolutely love western dick and japanese females are submissive as fuck.

曲なんじゃないよ

Learn radicals. Also, not all nihonjins know every single kanji, they can have hard time at reading them too, that's why it's important to know radicals and get used to their figures while reading them. You'll often see nihonjins say "Oh I remember this one" when you ask them to read a kanji they can't read very well.
P.e.
何 this can be read as nani or nan (on) or ka (kun).
何も = nanimo (nothing)
何ですか = nandesuka (what is it)
In my case I don't have to associate nothing with it because I'm used to read it (they say to begginers to asociate it's shape with a mouth getting surprised like saying WHAT -pic related)
The same for 木 (ki) (tree)
森林 (shinrin) (forest)
In this case I'm not familiar yet with all on/kun pronunciations for 森(mori) 林(rin). But I know that together they spell SHINRIN.
I don't know if you get me.

yes I know I was just friendly bantering. It's just a case of "stop complaining and go study"

>japanese females are submissive as fuck.
>you will never be punished by a サドデレ for not perfectly knowing the 100 new kanji she told you to learn yesterday.

Why even bother...

>you will never be punished by a サドデレ for not perfectly knowing the 100 new kanji she told you to learn yesterday.
That seems like a pretty good incentive to dekinai the fuck up.

is the wo in this picture used as a particle? so i make the "o" sound?

"to be" in the sense of "is" rather than "exist" (that role is filled by ある and いる).

これはペンです。 -> This(subject) pen is. -> This is a pen.

You pretty much just prolong the sound of "so"

>you will never be punished by a サドデレ for not perfectly knowing the 100 new kanji she told you to learn yesterday.
Is not that I didn't have the サドデレ experience, but that would be a nice reason to 勉強しません

>(subject)
*topic

whatever

I need "the pleasure of being cummed inside" in Japanese pls

Please, do not learn vocabulary with hiragana and just learn it with the kanji, and yes.

中出しの喜び

Yeah, you prolong the "so". Also that would be 嘘をつく, like said, learn with Kanji. Use IPA Furigana for Google Chrome to read the hiragana for every kanji you see, like in pic related

>Yeah, you prolong the "so".
Whenever I hear it, it doesn't sound like that. To me it sounds like two separate お sounds (お・お) rather than an elongated お sound (おお/おう). I tried saying うそーつく in the process of writing this post and it sounded really, really wrong to me.

Maybe a native can chime in.

In case I wasn't clear:
お・お = そ・お

おお/おう=そお/そう/そー

違う違う
you pronlong the "so" to pronounce the other "o", they sound together

Nice crutches, tin boy.

I hear a distinct separation (うそ・を) rather than a single, drawn-out sound (うそー).

中出しの喜び
なにそれ

IMO you don't really need furigana display when rikaichan or yomichan already show the reading to you

Furigana is useful to read it asap without hovering over the word, at least for me

You should learn to read without using Furigana though.

'Sup niggas I have a dumb question, how do I write ティ on a keyboard when typing "ti" will always display a チ

furigana are useful for quickly looking up a word though, without having to go through the Pictionary game that is draw-that-unknown-kanji or the i-fucking-know-this-radical-where-is-it game.

I use furigana to learn how to read kanji, I'm still a beginner.

"Teli"

That's awesome! Thank you very much and sorry for the dumb question, I swear I couldn't find on google.

>furigana are useful for quickly looking up a word though
Yeah but, yomichan already does that for you anyway.

It happened to all of us I guess
Never used it but I would hate a flashcard appearing anytime I hover over a word, also I'm used to IPA furigana, it's simple and does the job

When you don't know the answer, hover over. Else you're just going to get bad habits. You will eventually learn, but I'd bet money this makes the process slower.

Good point. Still, nothing wrong with training wheels. As long as they eventually come off.

But I am though... it's just this one card. To be honest because I'm doing the N5 in December I'm mostly learning in furigana. Because in the test except for a small portion of it that only using really basic words, it's all in furigana.

>N5
Ain't that a waste of money? Companies only value N2 and N1.

I think you're smarter than that, you should aim for at least N3

lmao poor people.

i only started studying about 2-2.5 months ago, so n5 was a nice goal to set for myself because it gave me a timeline to finish Genki1 and learn all the vocab. (i might still fail it idk.)

also i can put it on my JET application too if i apply next year. so it's nice to have something rather than just waiting until I'm n1 level before taking any test.

plus fun things are fun ;)

There is nothing poor about saving yourself a whole day of boring test taking for a certificate that states you're trained to say yoroshikuonegaishimasu.

微積分は難しい

suck my fat cock faggot.

>halfway throught the 6K core
>start to give me tons of weird useless words like 産婦人科

わたしはかなしいです

Wait, that's probably past N5 grammar, my bad.

こんにちはかなしい。

こんにちは!

What is he saying in the third bubble? Can't make sense of what he means.

>身体
>からだ
>体
>からだ

but why.
