Does anyone know of a resource for Japanese textbooks?

And what I mean by that is, physics/calculus/etc textbooks written in Japanese.

日本留学試験を合格する希望なので日本語で書いた教科書で勉強するほうがいいです：）

why is everything dicks with japan

>>21375495
if i had to guess the best ur gonna find free is some supplementary study sites through google unless ur willing to import textbooks from amazon jp

is there a list over good mobile apps?

after getting through rtk in a month doing 65 a day i can safely say this is by far the best way to learn kanji. idk why people here hate on it

>>21375603
because what are you actually learning
you're not learning how to read words
you're not learning the meanings of words
you're just learning how to write kanji from memory which most people don't care that much about in the first place

>>21375607
i didnt even learn how to write them lol i can just recognize 90% of kanji when i see them because i know what they mean and pick up on their japanese readings very quickly because of that

>>21375603
because in the time it's taken you to do 65 a day you could have done 10-20 words a day and known more japanese, and enjoyed your time far more.

>>21375613
>i can just recognize 90% of kanji
that's lazy kanji. not RTK.

its endlessly interesting to me how ppl can do all these things that arent japanese lol

>>21375613
thats not what rtk means

>>21375454
how would you know if an opinion is unwarranted when you're dogshit yourself

the only logical way to use RTK in my opinion
1. suspend all cards in RTK deck from the beginning
2. learn actual japanese words, read, and listen to stuff
3. open RTK deck and periodically unsuspend kanji that you've seen in words but don't know the meaning of
4. delete kanji you do know the meaning of
5. study what's left

>>21375616
10-20 words a day

i can barely even do 4-5 a day and i keep forgetting them the next day and have to re learn

am i doing something wrong or do i just lack the required amount of autism?

>>21375454
thx for the hot take moedork

>>21375650
you're probably not reading.

>>21375650
you're probably doing recognition and review instead of only doing recognition

>>21375655
>>21375650
*recognition and recall

>>21375650
ur prolly not watchin ur celestially mandated 10000 hours of eng subbed anime

>>21375639
when i say unwarranted i mean you tards jump to give your opinions why x is useless when no one asked

>>21375666
that's not what unwarranted means sadly

>>21375650
if you forget words easily like that then don't start with single word cards, start with sentence cards, and read more. your brain needs to know that these words actually mean something and fit somewhere. that comes from exposure to hundreds of meaningful sentences.

it was rhetorical moedork no one asked u

>>21375669
kys

>>21375661
why is recalling bad

>>21375675
because it's a waste of time

>>21375675
because mapping english --> japanese is bad
also >>21375683

>>21375683
how do you write a sentence if you cant recall what word or kanji you have to use?

its ok dude ill 1 day just magically start learning japanese and stop decoding japanese and reencoding to english i just know it

as a beginner, 毎日が退屈です has a lot more staying power than just trying to memorize 退屈. sentences are extremely important for beginners and studying them, even simple ones, will benefit you greatly. don't listen to these idiots here who speak against sentence cards. yes they take more time but as a beginner taking that time to set that foundation is very beneficial.

彼氏は寝ていて、退屈

>>21375699
can you recommend some decks?

皆は、愛液が大好きですか？

>>21375650
How long are you studying? At first I started out with 20 a day, but then the reviews were getting a little out of hand. I then switched to 10 a day and I will at the end add more if I have time left. Currently I spend around 45min a day and I think I'm getting faster with learning new words. The first weeks have been clearly more difficult.

>>21375699
so why not just read more then ? why do u need to read 文脈less sentences in a vacuum off of a retard card

especially downer ass ones like that where u program urself to be a sad faget

if ur worried about forgetting everything just let it go and give it to god dude if it was meant to be itll come back to u again someday

is it actually possible to improve at japanese just by listening a lot without reading or dictionary lookups? if i watched 8 hours of raw anime a day for the next 6 months would i be better than if i read for an hour a day?

>>21375693
the words will come automatically once you know enough japanese
the problem is that the "skill" you're practicing with recall in anki is to have an english word/sentence and map it to japanese, instead of learning the meaning of japanese words

>>21375721
if the input isnt comprehensible it is worthless

but if ur watching anime then theres a chance theres still comprehensibility even if u dont know whats being said

basically the more outside input from just the words themselves there is the better chance something will make it across

its still real low quality input cuz most of it isnt comprehensible so id recommend watching w. eng subs ON

>>21375728
what to do then?

do i just glance over the word and then move unto the next?

>>21375704
making your own is the best and the stickiest. that's what i did. watch anime with both japanese and english subs (daiweeb or animelon to make things easy for yourself) and only farm sentences that are simple enough for your level. break down any new vocab and grammar for each sentence on the back of the card. try to find and study only 5 to 10 a day, until you feel more comfortable and can do more per day.

once you've gotten through 500 to 1,000 sentence cards this way, that's when i'd start farming mostly single-word cards - again, only from sentences simple enough for you to understand. kanji you encountered in your sentence cards will re-appear, you'll get used to seeing words used in meaningful contexts and you'll no longer need to have sentence around them to remember them (although there's nothing wrong with still doing some sentence cards here and there, or putting helpful sentences on the back).

how do i export anki decks to ios

>farm sentences

its over boys every1s playing stardew valley instead of learning japanese

nvm just found out

>>21373941
>You aren't in a position to make conclusions about what Japanese people would understand in the slightest.

lol. I took the jlpt 1級 12 years ago, I've lived in Japan 10+ years and even played that clip to my jap wife before posting my 2nd response. My Japanese is absolutely not perfect, maybe yours is, who knows, but I might have just a hum.

is that u kanken guy lol お久しっす

>>21375720
>so why not just read more then
because you need controlled exposure to the same things before moving on to more difficult things. this applies for literally any area of study.
as a beginner with (i'm assuming) less than 1,000 words under his belt, you will not be able to "just read" enough to get the kind of repetition you need to solidify a firm foundation. your head will constantly be scrambled with new unknown things, with nothing getting nailed down. it will be more stressful than necessary, with far less efficiency.

The best way to learn Japanese is to buy a fake ID and hide on a boat to Japan, wake up on an unfamiliar shore, and just walk around immersed for a couple years.
Don't worry, if you have questions most of them speak english anyways

>>21375728
>the problem is that the "skill" you're practicing with recall in anki is to have an english word/sentence and map it to japanese, instead of learning the meaning of japanese words
that isn't a problem at all, it's a necessary intermediate step. the english keyword is nothing but a temporary placeholder for meaning. with repetition the meaning of the english word will transfer to the japanese word and translating to the english will no longer be necessary, that's the point. and when that happens (after the first 3 reviews or so) THEN it's fine to review without even checking the english.
>>21375738
don't listen to him he only pretends to be good at japanese.

>>21375784
they do?

>>21375771
i havent seen anything that comes across as a reputable curriculum for that tho so while the idea is solid were still missing the content

but who wants to study anyway the goal at any given time should be to enjoy the thing ur tryin to watch/play/read

>>21375785
>that isn't a problem at all, it's a necessary intermediate step. the english keyword is nothing but a temporary placeholder for meaning. with repetition the meaning of the english word will transfer to the japanese word and translating to the english will no longer be necessary, that's the point. and when that happens (after the first 3 reviews or so) THEN it's fine to review without even checking the english.
everything you said it correct but the point is that you're not supposed to review from english to japanese meaning, only from japanese to english meaning

>>21375794
>everything you said it correct but the point is that you're not supposed to review from english to japanese meaning, only from japanese to english meaning
i agree with that, i have never reviewed from english to japanese and i think it's a horrible idea to do so

>>21375697
spoken like a true eop

風のつばさ
is the の in this possessive or the other? in other words is it "wings made of wind" or "wings of the wind"
it makes more sense being "wings made of wind", but if it is then is 豚のつばさ, "wings made of pigs"? or am I just writing it wrong?

>>21375764
I don't think so and even then that just means you are one of those people that live eternally in Japan without ever learning Japanese and your wife is probably retarded too. Why don't you join the quiz and show off your reading ability:
>>21375170

Anyone has recommendations for a beginner vn in djt guide's vn library? there are too many, or should I blind download one?

axanael

>>21375840
Read Japanese subtitled anime instead

>>21375834
yeah, maybe, or maybe you're just making a lot of assumptions to look cool and it's not working out, one of the two. that said, my wife might be slightly defective but she was the only one I could find over there who had boobs without being fat, so I stand by my choice

should i take the potplayer redpill since it let's you copy paste subtitles that are on the screen?

>>21375854
Nah use https://video.fluentcards.com/

>>21375812
the noun after the の is the primary meaning, in most cases

風のつばさ would be wings of the wind or wing's wind

>>21375849
That's a lot of hot air coming from you but you seem to have missed the part where I invited you to quiz.

>>21375867
hot air? whatever

>>21375881
Quiz.

>>21375699
sentences convey meaning
meaning goes on the back not the front. sentence cards violate the whole premise of flashcards. the only thing that should go on the front is what you want to memorize. any more and you’re fucking yourself.

medium-long VNs seem to drag on to the point i don't even want to read so i think i'll enjoy myself a lot more just checking out all the highly rated 2-10 hour ones.

>>21375882
Ok i lose, i'lltake it tomorrow, but first let me know your jlpt level and when you took it. also i should mention i was placed in 正規 classes as an exchange student 13 years ago so your ass is decidedly grass

quiz me please quiz me quiz me quiz me please quiz me its the only thing im good at

>>21375897
I've never taken JLPT and you can take the quiz and infinite amount of times at any time and it's competitive. Just join the chat it takes 3 minutes.

can we just ban the word "quiz"

>>21375883
>sentences convey meaning
only partially, which is why the definition is also necessary. as you study a sentence card you're putting together parts of a whole until the meaning of all of it becomes natural and integrated.

>the only thing that should go on the front is what you want to memorize. any more and you’re fucking yourself.
this is as stupid as telling people who use anki for medical school to stop putting full sentence questions on the front of their cards because they already know what the question means.

oh good the autistic faggot is taking shits in here again

>>21375970
the quizlet?

kinda flatters me that the japs associate some english with games but the thing is i'm just a cog in the machine why should i even care? this is clearly an instinctive thing i have no control over.

gone are the days of the raw provider credit in the fansubs which are also gone in the 1st place

animes basically dead lol

That feeling when you reread a part of tae kim and things just start to "click"

>>21375649
Not a bad idea, to be honest.

i didn't get into anime when the fansubs were prominent so i feel i missed out on an era.

>>21376286
Raw is not an issue, but I think it's quite hard to find releases with jsubs, especially when you rely on furigana. Only good sources seem to be those streaming sites daiweeb and animelon.

>>21376328
oh i get it u mean just turn the subs off cuz gone are the days of hardcoded subs ok i got u

this shit is what matt does to people

Holy shit, I can't believe how fast time passes.
I started learning Japanese when this thread was at around 500-600.

I have to say, even though I don't watch anime and shit anymore, I do owe a lot to this thread. I was able to get into a really hard scholarship program to do my degree in Japan. Currently studying computer science in a renowned university here. If it wasn't for you bunch of autists I probably wouldn't have had the dedication or motivation to come this far.

Now, studying my degree in Japanese (had one year of studying japanese 8+ hours per day in order to get my japanese to a university student's level), living and working with japanese people. I can say I'm quite advanced on the japanese scale. Even though I'm still shit, I'm close to fluency acording to every single person I talk or text to here.

Would you faggots be interested in me giving advice on what actually works and what is a waste of time on learning japanese? I pretty much tried EVERY SINGLE method of learning and by trial and error adapted and got "my own" style of learning. Also can speak 5 other languages so any questions are welcome.

knowing you guys I'll get called a faggot and be asked to fuck off though.

that's useful when the definitions are too short, to disambiguate them, but if you don't have any real exposure to japanese then seeing the same examples repeatedly is counterproductive, unless you're doing a grammar exposure deck or something

let's hear what works and what is a waste of time

what did the japs think of the last game of thrones season

what works: reading and listening, doing things that make it easier to read and listening in a meaningful, direct, immediately relevant (in time) way
what doesn't: everything else

hot take

Do visual novels without little girls exist?

i'm more qualified than anyone here to say what does and doesn't work. mind you i don't know japanese but i'm a pretty smart guy. :)

just read and listen and consult grammar guides and stuff. SRS is good too.

>>21377208
Go home Nuke. No one gives a shit about your advice.

why do some people care more about "learning" japanese than actually learning japanese?

theyre so enlightened about the input hypothesis they have to spread the good word

>>21377207
this' a pretty good one just don't go for the どかた
https://vndb.org/v13814

>>21377207

>>21377207
yeah

if your vocab is over 3,000 and you read and listen regularly (even one hour a day) then your anki vocab cards don't even have to stay alive for more than a month, two tops. you can delete or suspend them after reviewing for a month because by that point you'll likely already have seen them in context again or be able to remember them well enough the next the you do see them. don't torture yourself and waste extra time by keeping shit in your deck forever. anki is a temporary incubator for words.

>>21377223
look the answer is really simple and yet this question keeps getting asked. the posturing over best methods is alpha intellectual chess. we are competing with one another.

its been like two years and i still mix up 顔 and 頭
just kill me

>>21377271
the vast majority of words i know like second nature now, i never studied in anki for more than a month before either abandoning anki for a while (like i often do) or just deleting the whole deck

seeing them again in reading and anime is what really made them intuitive, anki just felt like a pin to hold them in place for a little while so i wouldn't forget before the next few encounters. it works great for that.

How would you approach content well beyond your level with no text hooking?

>>21377450
dont approach content well beyond ur level unless u got enough conviction that u dont need to ask that question

>Always though the sei in seifuku was short for sailor

thats why reading after 10k hours of eng subbed anime is so much win

u can clear up all kinda stupid shit

tho fwiw u really werent wrong

>>21376741
Yeah, give your advice on what works and is a waste of time.

Like, does watching anime without looking anything up help with acquisition? I'm post N4 Pre-N3 if the jlpt nonsense helps clarify your answer.

I got more questions but that's the one I'll ask for now.

ok that's it I'm adding "eng subbed" to my filter list

>>21377491
Add 10k and 10000 and 10,000 just to be safe.

u can add it to ur filter but its still in ur brain where filters are meaningless and i am king

if u use filters ur not gonna make it

i've never filtered anything on 4chan but i've come close itt thrice.

>>21377501
/gif/ is 1000X better with filters

>>21377492
maybe i can just always say 1万 and get ppl to start filtering japanese for epic irony

btw if udont know what 万 heres ur crash course https://streamable.com/0gzre

>>21377509
Even if I didn't before, context points to 10,000.

imagining mattvshwatever hearing 100万 and getting a perplexed look on his face as he silently counts the number of zeroes on his fingers lmfao

>>21377509
on top of the irony ur helpin out all the cool kids who dont filter get their kotobas
>>21377513
but how are u gonna make a sentence card that includes the context

>>21377336
you wouldn't mix this up if you did RTK

>>21377517
1万 like it g ma when u put em together u get 一番

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPC9erC5WqU#t=34

>>21377519
Yeah because you wouldn't even know how to read them

>>21377516
that's what i do

>>21377528
can u imagine someone who did rtk sayin ok i know this ones face but is it kao or atama

>>21377519
this

>>21377519
otoh u wouldnt know any japanese

After finishing RTK, not once did I confuse the meaning of kanji again, and keep in mind I read both the complete and grammar guide on Tae Kim's website.

btw filter this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9k9v1_MxgU

>>21377549
Give them a break, RTK is good for people who are really, really dumb and don't realize Kanji are actually part of a language and not mystical moon symbols. Not everyone can be blessed with being capable of learning

after finishing rtk i lost 200 pounds started doing sex w. gravure idols and gained 30 points on my iq

>>21377553
So it's K-pop but now in two non-Korean languages and he's bad at both of them?

>>21377558
That's not so impressive when you know you were 800 pounds before with 50 IQ. Also the sex is a lie

name 1 person who got good at japanese without rtk

Bruh u gotta post some psuedointellectual "scientific" reasoning so you can milk the zoomers. Cut him some slack

japanese is literally
>what did they mean by this
- the language

How are you supposed to know which is which when it's spoken? These are complete opposite meanings.

>>21380094
pitch accent maybe?
the first one is practically never used, in 99.99999% of the cases it's the second one

>>21380100
Alrighty then, thanks. Is there a reason why the less common one comes up first?

>>21380101
no clue
you could install kireicake or innocent corpus, i think they add some kind of frequency indicator

>>21375434
the number 1 reason ppl quit japanese is because their goals were unrealistic because they couldnt measure or feel their own progress

dont be a scrub that just bounces around all ryan boundless

set realistic and achievable goals and spend time every day working on them

Can anyone explain me the difference between these and when to use which:
女の子 / 少女 / 女子

>>21380150
have u tried a dictionary

>>21380150
all of those are pointless words
処女 is the only one that matters

>>21380162
cuz it describes u the best ?

>>21379533
Gone for me too on four different browsers and two computers. That sucks. It was the only way to look up kanji easily.

>>21380166
no that would be 童貞

>>21380166
girls are 処女, guys are 童貞

>>21380094
The "exceptionally ugly man" version is a kanji pun, so it's exclusively part of the written language.

>>21380196
Nope, it's gone. I think it's just cached for you. I had it last night.
>>21380214
I don't give a fuck about stroke order, but it's actually correct. You're mistaking which number is for which line.

Is there any meaning in a text using 桜 and 櫻 interchangeably, sometimes both of them in one sentence? Google tells me that one is a new kanji and the other is a traditional kanji but is anything implied by using one over the other?

how are u ever supposed 2 know which is which these are complete opposite meanings ofmg japanese is BUllshit

something in your web browser is blocking one of the resources that google translate loads, I set yesscript to half blocking and everything loaded except for the extra controls

>>21379533
Gone for me too, Firefox and Chromium. What the fuck.

>>21380196
That's the URL I was already using. Doesn't work.

>>21380242
>something in your web browser is blocking one of the resources that google translate loads
I >>21380244 tried with all add-ons disabled. Still didn't work.

>>21380251
Try this
https://www.google.com/inputtools/try/

>>21380242
>yesscript
why the fuck would you use this when umatrix exists

>muh "tools"

>>21380259
Never knew this existed. Thanks. Handwriting input seems to be working on this page, for now at least.

>>21380244
It's still there for me (Vivaldi, based on Chromium). Try this: https://www.google.com/inputtools/
It's a handy extension, I prefer it over gt actually because I don't have to switch between gt and jisho

kanji of the day is 魘 as in 魘される

>>21380263
yesscript is a single button, I use umatrix as well
>>21380251
why do you think I said your web browser instead of some browser addon gosh

>>21380275
I don't use Chromium for day to day usage so a Chrome extension isn't any good to me really. I only have Chromium installed so I can determine in cases like this one whether Firefox or the webpage is to blame for what's going on. If a webpage is broken only in Firefox, I know that the problem is being caused by an add-on or maybe even Firefox itself, whereas if a page is broken in both then I know the webpage is just fucked.

Fortunately there's a web version which >>21380259 linked.

>>21380301
>why do you think I said your web browser instead of some browser addon gosh
If you were talking about the browser itself, why did you continue your post talking about your script-blocking add-on?

Anyway, with all add-ons disabled there is nothing that should be preventing the page from running properly. All scripts are free to run uninhibited and it still doesn't show up.

If the browser blocking something is to blame, then >>21380259 shouldn't work for me either, yet it does.

>>21380319
modern browsers have complicated tracking blocking features with per-site triggers and strange categories, in firefox this is under the privacy & security settings tab and in chrome it's the first section under advanced sections

>>21380332
Why would Google update Google Translate in such a way that Google's own browser's default security settings cause it to stop working? Makes zero sense.

>>21380337
sometimes stuff just breaks

>>21380242
Tried Waterfox, Palemoon, IE, and Edge, the Firefox on another computer, so it can't be blocked.

>>21380269
