This is an English shitposting thread striving to be Japanese language learning thread designed by and for those interested in traditional otaku media such as anime, manga, light novels, and Japanese video games.
If you have no interest in otaku media or want to request a translation, this is not the thread for you.

Read the guide before asking stupid questions.

Thanks.

Honestly I have already been improving I just feel like my progress is not as good as it should be at the point I am at.

When you read, if you read something and don't quite understand it do you try to break down the grammar? or does your grammar improve through exposure?

You need to try to read it yourself and not just mindlessly hover over every word. But it's fine to use it extensively on every sentence so long as you're putting in some effort and mining words into Anki. (Maybe it's possible without Anki, but I can only speak to my experience.)

i pretty much only break down grammar when i don't know what's going on but i think i could figure it out. i tend to think that that is less efficient than reading more instead though. i do look up what new things mean a couple of times but i mostly leave it to exposure to build a mental model of what x does as opposed to thinking too much about what i read x does.

I wonder how long I can keep learning kanji without using any kind of mnemonics. I'm using the KKLC important vocab deck, which covers around 2100 kanji in 3400 cards. Learning to write words instead of individual kanji is very satisfying, and as you go forward you get words that contain a new kanji and one that you've already learned, so you get extra reviews.

I can already feel my ability to visualize kanji getting stronger, which is my reason for doing this.

He's kinda right in terms of maximum gains, though.

I live in nipland and work in a nip workplace, but I only ever studied like 3500-ish kanji and it serves me more than well enough. (I translate business reports with economic/tax terms on a regular basis, too) If you want to maximize real world fluency/understanding, I'd recommend grinding out the most common 四字熟語 before any kanji beyond 3000/3500-ish, common expressions, and cultural knowledge (big). One of my coworkers has 漢検一級, but in real world terms you'd be better off studying for 日本語検定. (you'd BTFO most gajin even among N1 holders)

I changed the deck options category that my deck was under last night and I think it somehow scrambled the "due" column. The numbers should match the "sort field" column on the left, so 1670 in "sort" should be 1670 "due".

I'll probably consider another way to practice kanji recall in a year or two when I have a much bigger vocabulary and can focus on kanji through the Japanese I know.

Try doing that, and switch 'Show English subtitles' On only if the entire phrase is too complicated and you are not sure you got it right.

This can be an issue but I like KKLC much better than RTC for that purpose.
Examples of compounds help to catch the wider potential meaning of the kanji.

I never hard-studied KKLC, just read through it and now still return to it when some individual kanji is giving me trouble (like when there is a word in a core-deck i'm having to hit 'again' on over and over again).

RTC is old foggy garbage, It's like win98me when compared to KKLC's Win7.

that んだ is not a real proper verb suffix but a vulgar-ish, not well-defined sentence-ending "emphasis-particle" (can't remember a better term for it) that indicates self-confidence/volition/assertion (in broadest terms).
in English I think it was common in late 90s to put "Yo!" at the end of phrase if you are trying to be assertive ("Hey! Get your ass over here! I'm talking to you, Yo!") - it's kinda like that.

Orders for these verbs woulld be 早く出せ and さあ、来い - this is called imperative conjugation http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/complete/command

Wrong. What happens is that someone complains that rote memorization isn't working for them, so someone recommends they try mnemonics. Then a person calls mnemonics bad without knowing jack shit about it, then they get corrected by someone else who actually has tried the method and knows it works, and then that person falls back to tossing baseless insults about how "close minded" the someone is. Eventually they change the subject. I think it's one person just samefagging so I need to stop taking that bait.

Truth is the best method to learn japanese is whichever you come up with, some guides aren't as effective for some people and it's more motivating to make your own method. Motivation is the most important thing.
That being said if you want to start a core deck don't do it because you saw it in a guide, do it because you think it's an effective approach for yourself, if you need mnemonics for fucking kana out of all things then go for it. I think you're pathetic but you can still make it.

I don't get you. Mnemonics can be incredibly helpful when you first learn something. Then, as you encounter that thing more often, you will memorize it naturally and you drop your mnemonic "crutches". Kana probably seem easy to you now because you've been dealing with them for a very long time.

Nope you don't get to try this angle because it applies just as much to rote memorization. You do this every time.

mental group was out of the question: the participants had to volunteer
and hence self-select to be in the experimental group (exclusion from
attending potentially beneficial instruction is not acceptable practice).
Likewise, providing delayed or placebo instruction was not permissible
as this could conceivably disadvantage students in their course perform
-
ance. The control group in this study is therefore merely a comparison
group for establishing the stability of the students’ course performance
in the absence of the experimental instruction provided (see Brown,
1992, for the use of this kind of control group in language research).
