This is a thread for language learners, not bored English teachers looking to blog or spam off topic IRL stuff. Please use this thread for that sort of thing.

I've read the neocities guide and lurked these threads a bit, I assume the main mega anki link posted there is the only one I should load into the program and train on, yes? Aside from the mining thing which should really come much later The other decks linked on the resources page either don't get much mention in the threads or appears insufficient/incomplete.

I have the 6th (latest) edition of Remembering the Kanji Vol 1 in PDF, anyone want?

Wow just took a look at that and it looks great, will read that for sure
William Davis
I think Anonymous Core 5000 isn't too bad for a beginner, it's feels a bit less weighted down with words that you won't immediately need for reading but most people do 2k/6k
John Harris
I present you the greater part of my handwritten vocab books the ones one the left have 32 sheets of paper each, the open one and the right ones 16
another pic coming up
John Fisher
behold my autism, about 12k words written down from it, if the cover is right 2bh lots of words come up several times, so I'm not sure how they are counting it
Ayden Ramirez
Neat. I don't even count kana loanwords as japanese vocab, desu.
Colton Morris
yea I was thinking about skipping words at first, but then I thought fuck it exercise is exercise
you could at least put int the effort to write nicely, now it looks like a scribbly mess. Still very impressive, though
Gabriel Robinson
well it's pretty exhausting already as it is and I'm not gaining anything from it
Anthony Foster
how long did it take? do you regret it? did it help at all with remembering the words?
also, this is a very stereotypical German thing to do
Henry Cook
>"We meet again!" >"また逢ったね!" Why would one use "逢った" instead of "会った". Is there some subtle difference in meaning, stylistic or emotional load or traditional use attached to using 逢?
Logan Thomas
辞書を使ってください
Blake Lewis
The botnet IME has pretty good tooltips for these cases.
Jayden Edwards
also just wait till you get to かたい
Josiah Sullivan
do the tae kim grammar guide sort of in step with the vocab. the vocab anki deck shows sentences that can be hard to deconstruct without grammatical knowledge
Gabriel Williams
when I was working on it I usually didn't do more than 4 pages a day, which gives me an average of 78 days spread out over several months >do you regret it? not really, it made me aware of all the everyday words I still don't know, you know stuff like srew driver, power outlet etc. >did it help at all with remembering the words? some yes, but many of them no, because I just wrote them down once and that was it the upside of being autistic about this is that you develop a gut feeling about most things over the years, even when you're off
Carson Gomez
Thank you, entirely my bad. Sorry to waste your time. Is google IME better in some ways than windows' default one?
Luke Long
hmm, I was thinking of doing a similar thing with kanji, just to better differentiate between kanji like 失/矢 幸/辛 and so on, guess I should have done RTK, but it kinda seemed like a waste of time
Robert Morales
I like it more than Microsoft's one because the suggestions are typically way better. It knows a ton of titles for works, famous people's names, band names, and so on. On the Microsoft's IME I found myself having to write out a lot of that stuff, which can get a bit tedious sometimes, especially when it comes to people's names.
>slaps you gf's ass The last person who behaves in such a manner. And in the first place, he is only 155cm height.

>話に聞くだけならそんなことくらいで――と思えるのかもしれないが、本人からしたらたまったものではないのかもしれない。 Is そんなことくらいで an omission of something here? I'm having trouble understanding it with what follows after. My translation of the sentence is something like: >With just listening to the story, you might be lead to think "Something like that really happened?", but for the person in question, it's probably something unbearable (having to remember?).
Jaxson Cooper
>リストで加えてください >add me to the list please Is this correct? Not sure about the particle
Easton Kelly
Maybe そんなことくらいで = そんなことくらいで〜しなくていいのに
へ or に is correct.
Luke Ward
you should read from this post onwards, it gets quite hilarious often I wish we had more lively discussions like them, on the other hand I'm glad we don't have this concentration of autism
Noah Flores
I don't miss that heavy hostile autism from Sup Forums. Everyone over there snaps at everything, they're as unhelpful as can be and they all have the arrogance of thinking that they're the best people in the world for Japanese. All these traits make for a horrible language learning environment. They should really just be a Japanese thread and not a Japanese learning thread, since they're so hostile to learners and clearly look down on anyone who isn't N1.
Tyler Jackson
I don't remember clearly what Sup Forums DJT was like, but I feel like the Sup Forums one is better now, even though I was sad to see the Sup Forums one go at the time. On one hand, a somewhat harsh learning environment is not bad, as it discourages people from posting questions that could easily be answered with a few seconds of googling (I'm mostly talking about very beginner questions here), and an overly-soft environment can make people become complacent, as you often see on other Japanese-learning parts of the internet, where people spend years without any actual progress. But /jp/ and probably even Sup Forums at the time definitely take the autism too far, to the point where you feel like you can't ask any question, and where everyone just insults those at a lower level than them and ignores anyone at a higher level.
Joseph Moore
Sup Forums's DJT wasn't that bad for a while, but there was a tipping point not too long before the move where the thread became the weaponized autism it is now on /jp/ (therefore safe to say that it's the same autists perpetuating it). I don't feel like we're getting the same basic questions that often, even though it seems to be a concern that gets voiced a lot. We just tell those people to read the guide if it's a methodology related question, or we're patient and we answer beginner grammar questions, because we were also beginners once, and being patient with them encourages new learners to join the DJT community.
Jacob Gray
>but there was a tipping point not too long before the move where the thread became the weaponized autism it is now on /jp/ You forgot the part where that weaponized autism was 70% racist Sup Forums rejects that went here or dropped the thread altogether after the move.
Angel Barnes
I try to be nice whenever possible, but I will not accept people trying to shove bullshit down others' throats.
Neat. Can anyone who's done the JLPT tell me whether they're representative of the actual test?
Tyler Butler
personally I never did one, but I've read plenty of times that the example questions are a tad easier

言いたいのは、アイコンがアニメの「男」でダメっていうことは「女」で大丈夫だよね
Aaron Hill
What if it's a picture of my waifu?
Lincoln Turner
Excuse me, I don't understand what are you trying to say. Please write it in English again? Maybe, you couldn't get what the picture is saying.
Alexander Edwards
あっ アイコンが「アニメの男」 ではなくて 「アイコンがアニメ」の男 だったのか

How's teaching English when you don't speak Japanese?

ok this sentence probably is all fucked up do you have a rope to spare?
Mason Flores
Should I be aiming to get through a volume of manga per day? More?
Luke Clark
>they're so hostile to learners and clearly look down on anyone who isn't N1.
So most of them are N1 ?!
Joseph Garcia
No but they larp as people who are. But even if they did, how is insulting beginners the proper thing to do in a thread that claims to be a Japanese learning thread.
Zachary Bailey
>So most of them are N1 ?! wwいい冗談だよ、息ができなくなって肺が壊れちゃった
That's some schizophrenic guy who spams Google translated nonsense. It's best to not reply.
Camden Myers
[English] Are you truly saying that it is best not to reply to someone who is using the bare minimum tools available to them in order to learn a completely new communication style/idea?
You presume my mental health state and literally 'nobody' wants to talk to me directly, which is amazingly rude of 'every other culture'.
All I am doing is trying to help people understand what it takes using MY OWN NATIVE LANGUAGE to translate what I think, feel, and know in to THEIR cultural identity/concept/idea.
[Norwegian] Er du virkelig si at det er best å ikke svare til noen som bruker de bare minimal verktoy tilgjengelig for dem for å lære en helt ny kommunikasjonsstil / idé?
Du antar min mentale helse tilstand og bokstavelig talt 'ingen' vil snakke med meg direkte, noe som er utrolig frekt av 'alle andre kultur'.
Alt jeg gjor er å prove å hjelpe folk å forstå hva det tar å bruke min egen morsmålet til å oversette hva jeg tenker, foler og kjenner på sin kulturelle identitet / konsept / idé.

I replied to the English translation of what I wrote in Japanese, shit.
