I'm not sure how to use epwing2anki. I've set it up and have an anki deck with the sample words, however when I add a new word theres no reading/definition/sentence. I assumed it would add it automatically but maybe i'm doing something wrong. The anki_import_file is imported btw.

no, those are all synonyms

I can see how newspaper-words might be boring to learn and suspending them might feel like the right choice but you will encounter these words some day anyway so why not learn them while you do 6k?
Jose Bell
I don't either but you know what most of the politics bullshit means in english, why not get japanese terminology out of the way as well. Knowing those words and kanji also opens up new connections to other words, forming a net of political garbage that you can recognize by just looking at it even if you probably haven't seen it before.
Nathan Clark
乙 Literally anything for vocabulary since I can barely read as it is. I'm still at the point where I'm glad if I recognize a bunch of vocabulary and I'm not totally lost in a sentence. I try really hard and if I can't help it I look up stuff occasionally by hand. Also means it takes me forever.
I will consider unsuspending them after I learned the word "broom". (#5776 in 6k)
Dominic Russell
You're going to be surprised how often these "boring" words will come up even in your cartoons.

Is it wrong to use anki as an actual spaced repetition tool? I have a deck of Jōyō kanji, with both sides of each card containing the on/kun, example, and a stroke order gif. I have the spacing set to 1 1 1 1 1, so I write it down 5 times, and I hit good every single time.
This should get the kanji into my muscle memory at least. I hope.

Do you want to speak japanese or write meaningless kanji?

こんにちは djt, I just wanted to make sure if I understood this panel. >For Kaori, I was the princess who casted the spell. The 〜かけたお姫様だった part threw me off. Sorry if this is so basic.
This isn't the only thing I'm doing, this is just how I'm learning the kanji. I'm already over 2k words into a vocab deck.
But for the record no, I don't want to speak japanese.

>Will write but doesn't want to speak Got bad news for you, you'll learn to speak it anyway

Blake Davis
I'm sure this will have an effect of some sort. But Anki is mostly an efficiency tool. This doesn't seem more effective than setting a timer to copy out Kanji each day.

50 bucks 香織 is お姫様だった
Jonathan Flores
Kaori is the princess, not the writer. >Kaori is the princess whom(?) I casted the spell on
>However, if the sentence started as >香織にとっては >it could be just as you guessed.
Daniel Peterson
If it was かけて then 私 would be お姫様 I think. I don't speak japanese btw.
The only way I will remember what a kanji actually looks like is if I write it down. They I can visualise how I would write it.
With English I remember how I would type a word if I am trying to recall how to spell it, but obviously that doesn't cut it with kanji.
Austin Moore
>香織にとっては >it could be just as you guessed. >香織には makes it as above as well.
Julian Harris
You might be a brainlet if you can't memorize kanji just by looking at them but you do you I guess. 鬱

Speaking of brainlets, would 脳子 be an appropriate equivalent? I was thinking of this the other day and that was the only -let like suffix I could remember.

That's not how language words my friend. You can't just take some term and try to translate shit literally. People in the int generals tend to do this ironically from English to their native language but it's not how normal people speak, nor would they understand what is being said.
>time for anki reps exceed 60mins now >only 30 new words everyday I only need to survive 90 more days and I'm done with core but I guess it'll become unfeasible soon.
Is Duolingo a good way of learning? I've been using it for a while but I can't tell if I'm fooling myself into thinking I'm doing well. Apologies if this is asked a lot
with 2k or 6k? Don't fall for the meme to stop at 2k for some arbitrary reason.
Also stop rushing it will only hurt you in the long time. What are you trying to achieve here? Do you want to be "done" before you start reading? There's no reason to. Just keep doing the deck while you do all the other stuff as well.
>What are you trying to achieve here? Do you want to be "done" before you start reading? Not exactly, I want to finish it before I continue reading excessively again.
I finished my first VN after around 2-3k words and it was hard as fuck for me, I then noticed that like half the words I was mining were already in core so I really want to finish it now.
Well that, and I want to use the voiced example sentences for pronounciation as well.
What do you guys use to practice production (specifically writing)? I'm a pretty hands on learner and find that when programming the only way i actually learn the proglang is by writing practical code in it. I looked at the genki exercise books but it's all kana soup that's kind of annoying to decipher.
Can you help me? I want to search for pictures from 70s or 80s Japan but the result is always limited. For example I wanna see how Yudanaka looked some decades ago. I search for "湯田中" + 前 or 歴史or 古い or 80年代. But it all doesn't show me old photos. I can't imagine that those pictures doesn't exist somewhere on the internet. Every Japanese had cameras during the time.
does japanese have any stupid things like "the space between fish and and and and and and chips is too small" "buffalo x 8" "ghoti" ?

How many did you do daily for 6k?
Andrew Torres
I keep changing it but it went like this 100 for first day then 50 slowly going down to 20 as the mining deck was getting bigger in reviews, now they're both equal at 20 so together I got 40 reviews daily.

>気を取り直して素足のまま、板張りの台所へ。エサと替えの新聞紙を支度して、畳の居間に向かう。その一隅、鳥かごにかけていた布を取り払うとかわいいペットと一晩ぶりの対面だ。 >Getting himself together again, Ryūji went barefoot into the wooden-tiled kitchen, took some prepared pet food and spare newspapers, and headed towards the corner of the tatami-laid living room. Removing the cloth over the birdcage there, Ryūji greeted his cute pet which he had not seen all night.
I'm baffled by the structures of these final clauses. The first sentence ends in no verb at all (???), the second ends in present tense, and the third has no main verb, only the copula used in a way I don't really understand. Is this a normal way of writing Japanese narratives? Is it common to completely elide the verbs of a sentence and mess with tense like this?
