For some reason, kanji in my anki deck look like dogshit. For example, this >>89835543 one looks like pic related. Does anyone know how to fix it? I already trie to play with fonts and such, but it did not help

>>89837978
What's wrong with it?

>>89837135
You're literally looking where words, begin, and what the conjugations and particles are doing to the sentence. IME's enable you to to do this without needing to know the vocab, but aside from that, it's the same thing as reading yotsuba& or anything else for that matter in the grammar reinforcement department.

>>89837978
Sounds like you're playing with the fonts the wrong way. Post a screenshot or a pastebin of the HTML/CSS of your cards.

>>89838059
it is supposed to look like this >>89835543 . Look at 2 strokes on the right side

>>89838128
>You're literally looking where words, begin, and what the conjugations and particles are doing to the sentence. IME's enable you to to do this without needing to know the vocab

>>89838129
Here you go

>>89838326
I did not use the stroke order one, I just went with whatever it was by default

>>89838330
It's correct.

>>89838391
I'm saying the stroke order font isn't what you should use if you want to make sure you've got the right stroke order.

>>89837978
Well, that's how it looks in my browser as well, including the jisho page.

Maybe computer characters vs. written characters like with e.g. 冷?

>>89838330
Have you confirmed that you have "MS ゴシック" installed? It might not be, which would make it default to some other font.

>>89838391
If you were using jisho you would know stroke order fonts are only good for stroke order.

>>89838490
Is your computer a premade or did you build it yourself? Most premades come from China which would explain the screwed up kanji. If you want to fix it, you have to build your own.

>>89838650
Actually yeah, but it's using the correct character sets. There are simply characters that look different in computer fonts than they look hand written.
No idea if this is such a case. It's not general use anyway. Although the word itself is certainly important.

>>89837978
Look at this page: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%84%88

For me the Chinese section shows the character as shown in the picture above, and the kanji section shows the writing in your picture.
As >>89838326 pointed out the error is in the stroke order set to begin with.

Thanks, everyone, I fixed that weird Kanji font. The root of the problem was that OSX did not have MS kanji font by default, so instead it used this weird shit. I just had to change the font to one of those OSX has and now it is fine

>>89839295
Are you dumb or are you stupid? It's not fucked up. In fact it's more correct than whatever you're changing it to.

For fuck's, why even bother then?

>>89843070
What?

>>89843122

If they are particles used to express a contradiction, but they can be used without expressing a contradiction at all, why even call them contradiction particles?

This is my first time in these threads but not my first experience with learning Japanese - I took a module at uni for fairly basic Japanese and I'd like to continue with it in my own time. The info in the OP seems amazing, I'm pumped to start working with it.

Starting out with kanjidamage, what's a good sort of pace in terms of kanji per day? I don't want to overload myself by doing too many, but I also want to learn as quick as possible.

Because 95% of the time they express contradiction.

>>89843283
20 a day seems to be a common amount, so try something like that and lower/increase if it's too hard or easy.

>>89843283
I wouldn't recommend going ofter 15, and if you do find it to start to be a strain then you can always lower the reps so you don't have to worry about whether or not it's little or too much as you'll be to judge that when you feel it's too little or too much when you begin doing your reps.

>>89843514

You had me going.

Same guy who was asking about how many kanji is reasonable to do a day here. To the more dedicated learners in these threads, how long do you spend on this a day? I'm not starting from scratch, so I think this'll be my daily routine. I waste enough time as is so I'm sure I'd be able to find at least an hour a day. And at what time(s) of the day do you work with this?

Kanji: 20 a day
Vocab: 35 a day
Kana: Test self on all, every day (already sort of know)
Grammar: Work with Genki (a lot will just be revision)

>>89844487

Today's reading exercise:

小泉八雲秘稿画本「妖魔詩話」
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000042/files/2505_9345.html
By 寺田寅彦

　十余年前に小泉八雲（こいずみやくも）の小品集「心」を読んだことがある。その中で今日までいちばん深い印象の残っているのはこの書の付録として巻末に加えられた「三つの民謡」のうちの「小栗判官（おぐりはんがん）のバラード」であった。日本人の中の特殊な一群の民族によっていつからとも知れず謡（うた）い伝えられたこの物語には、それ自身にすでにどことなくエキゾティックな雰囲気がつきまとっているのであるが、それがこの一風変わった西欧詩人の筆に写し出されたのを読んでみると実に不思議な夢の国の幻像を呼び出す呪文（インカンテーション）ででもあるように思われて来る。物語の背景は現にわれわれの住むこの日本のようであるが、またどこかしら日本を遠く離れた、しかし日本とは切っても切れない深い因縁でつながれた未知の国土であるような気もする。そうかと思うとどこかまたイギリスのノーザンバーランドへんの偏僻（へんぺき）な片田舎（かたいなか）の森や沼の間に生まれた夢物語であるような気もするのである。
　それからずっと後に同じ著者の「怪談」を読んだときもこれと全く同じような印象を受けたのであった。

>funniest board
There is literally a couple of good threads a day, and just sit there and catch them is not what I consider fun. Hell, /int/ has more funny and interesting threads than /b/ does

>>89844864
　今度小山（おやま）書店から出版された「妖魔詩話（ようましわ）」の紹介を頼まれて、さて何か書こうとするときに、第一に思い出すのはこの前述の不思議な印象である。
従って眼前の「妖魔詩話」が私に呼びかける呼び声もまたやはりこの漠然（ばくぜん）とした不思議な印象の霧の中から響いてくるのは自然の宿命である。
　八雲氏の夫人が古本屋から掘り出して来たという「狂歌百物語」の中から気に入った四十八首を英訳したのが「ゴブリン・ポエトリー」という題で既刊の著書中に採録されている。それの草稿が遺族の手もとにそのままに保存されていたのを同氏没後満三十年の今日記念のためにという心持ちでそっくりそれを複製して、これに原文のテキストと並行した小泉一雄（こいずみかずお）氏の邦文解説を加えさらに装幀（そうてい）の意匠を凝らしてきわめて異彩ある限定版として刊行したものだそうである。
　なんといってもこの本でいちばんおもしろいものはやはりこの原稿の複製写真である。オリジナルは児童用の粗末な藁紙（わらがみ）ノートブックに当時丸善（まるぜん）で売っていた舶来の青黒インキで書いたものだそうであるが、それが変色してセピアがかった墨色になっている。その原稿と色や感じのよく似た雁皮（がんぴ）鳥の子紙に印刷したものを一枚一枚左側ページに貼付（てんぷ）してその下に邦文解説があり、反対の右側ページには英文テキストが印刷してある。

(2/5)

>>89844704
Eh, I learned Kanji through vocab, and picking out ones I didn't recognize and looking them up. It seems a lot more efficient.

>>89844882
　書物の大きさは三二×四三・五センチメートルで、用紙は一枚漉（いちまいず）きの純白の鳥の子らしい。表紙は八雲氏が愛用していた蒲団地（ふとんじ）から取ったものだそうで、紺地に白く石燈籠（いしどうろう）と萩（はぎ）と飛雁（ひがん）の絵を飛白染（かすりぞ）めで散らした中に、大形の井の字がすりが白くきわ立って織り出されている。
　これもいかにも八雲氏の熱愛した固有日本の夢を象徴するもののように見えておもしろい。このような蒲団地は、今日ではもうたぶんデパートはもちろんどこの呉服屋にも見つからないであろう。それをわざわざ調製したのだそうである。小山書店主人のなみなみならぬ熱心な努力が、これらの装幀にも現われているようである。この異彩ある珍書は著者、解説者、装幀意匠者、製紙工、染織工、印刷工、製本工の共同制作によってできあがった一つの総合芸術品としても愛書家の秘蔵に値するものであろう。ただ英文活字に若干遺憾の点があるが、これもある意味ではこうした限定版の歴史的な目印になってかえっておもしろいかもしれないのである。
　複製原稿で最もおもしろいと思うのは、詩稿のわきに描き添えられたいろいろの化け物のスケッチであろう。それが実にうまい絵である。そうして、それはやはり日本の化け物のようでもあるが、その中のあるものたとえば「古椿（ふるつばき）」や「雪女」や「離魂病」の絵にはどこかに西欧の妖精（ようせい）らしい面影が髣髴（ほうふつ）と浮かんでいる。

(3/5)

>>89844834
I do around 50 mins of anki a day, and at least 1 hour of reading. was doing 20 kanji a day until a week ago, where i lowered it to 10. 20 vocab(40 cards) a day.
I do it as soon as i can in the morning.

>>89844911
著者の小品集「怪談」の中にも出て来る「轆轤首（ろくろくび）」というものはよほど特別に八雲氏の幻想に訴えるものが多かったと見えて、この集中にも、それの素描の三つのヴェリエーションが載せられている。その一つは夫人、もう一つは当時の下婢（かひ）の顔を写したものだそうである。前者の口からかたかなで「ケタケタ」という妖魔（ようま）の笑い声が飛び出した形に書き添えてあるのが特別の興味を引く。
　その他にもたとえば「雪女郎」の絵のあるページの片すみに「マツオオリヒシグ」としるしたり、また「平家蟹（へいけがに）」の絵の横に「カゲノゴトクツキマタウ」と書いて、あとで「マタウ」のタを消してトに訂正してあったりするのをしみじみ見ていると、当時における八雲氏の家庭生活とか日常の心境とかいうものの一面がありありと想像されるような気がしてくるのである。おそらく夕飯後の静かな時間などに夫人を相手にいろいろのことを質問したりして、その覚え書きのようなつもりで紙片の端に書きとめたのではないかという想像が起こってくる。
「船幽霊」の歌の上に黒猫（くろねこ）が描いてあったり、「離魂病」のところに奇妙な蛾（が）の絵が添えてあったりするのもこの詩人の西欧的な空想と連想の動きの幅員をうかがわせるもののようである。
　一雄（かずお）氏の解説も職業文人くさくない一種の自由さがあってなかなかおもしろく読まれる。八雲氏令孫の筆を染めたという書名題字もきわめて有効に本書の異彩を添えるものである。

(4/5)

>>89844937
　小泉八雲というきわめて独自な詩人と彼の愛したわが日本の国土とを結びつけた不可思議な連鎖のうちには、おそらくわれわれ日本人には容易に理解しにくいような、あるいは到底思いもつかないような、しかしこの人にとってはきわめて必然であったような特殊な観点から来る深い認識があったのではないかと想像される。それを追跡し分析し研究することはわれわれならびに未来の日本人にとってきわめて興味あり有意義であるのはもちろんであるが、そのような研究に意外な光明を投げるような発見の糸口があるいはかえってこうした草稿の断片の中に見いだされないとも限らないであろう。
　たとえば「怪談」の中にも現われまたこの百物語の数々の化け物の中から特に選び出される光栄をもったような化け物どもが、どういう種類の化け物であって、そのいかなる点がこの人にアッピールしたか、またそれがどういう点で過去数千年の日本民族の精神生活と密接につながっているか。こんな事を考えてみるだけでもそこにいろいろなまじめな興味ある問題を示唆されるのであるが、その示唆の呪法（じゅほう）の霊験がこの肉筆の草稿からわれわれの受けるなまなましい実感によっていっそう著しく強められるであろうと思われるのである。

Guy that made this image here. Let me explain .

First, look at this.
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ax2s-kmtn/ref/jis2000-2004.html

The column under 旧規格 is basically forms of kanji that were made up by computer companies just because they felt like it (for the sake of uniformity with simplified jouyou) and are technically incorrect or otherwise off. The ones under 新規格 are based on the 康熙字典 which is largely considered to represent the "correct" 正字　form of all kanji in Japan.

tl;dr They're both fine but 愈 is more correct

What was everyone's preferred method to learning katakana and hiragana?

I started off with a, e, i, o, and u and learned the stroke order, wrote them enough to fill up a single page so far, and practiced on the realkana.com for at least 40 minutes. This is my first day.

It's not much I suppose but you have to start somewhere, right?

Who the fuck pronounces it like that?

>>89851315
Unless you're busy doing other things, you can go faster than 5 kana/day, you don't need to be perfect at kana because you'll be reading them constantly for all following aspects of studying.

>>89851430
When it's not used as an honorific, like "my older sister....".

>>89851430
It's pronounced like that in 姉貴
Just like 兄貴 is pronounced あにき

Okay, yeah, I can definitely do more in a day for now as long as it's summer. When I get back to school, I'll have to cut back a lot.

>>89851574
It's not like it's at all uncommon or only used in that word.

>>89851594
Well you said you spent 40 minutes on realkana, in 40minutes you should probably do 2-3 'sets'. As I said before, getting caught up on kana is a common way for beginners to waste a lot of time. By the time you can recognize the kana like 80% of the time it's time to start vocab/kanji+grammar.

>>89851594
>>89851717
That's not to say that you should rush through it at a pace you're too uncomfortable with, but I think it'll be more efficient for you to do like 4 sets a day then spend a few days reviewing than to go slower on each individual set.

>>89851717
Thanks for the advice, I'll spend less time on kana since it is pretty easy. Heading to vocab/kanji+grammar is pretty scarily overwhelming. A little at a time, I'll get through...

Another day, another Last Ranker question:

Jisho says 巴 is "Huge comma design," so we're "accepting a huge comma design." It's actually a judo-style counterattack move.

>>89860380
Don't try too hard to translate martial arts moves.

But 受け is related to 受け身 which is the art of receiving an attack.

>tfw finished kanjidamage anki deck in march and did nothing since, not even daily anki stuff

how do i go back?
I don't want to start from scratch, I can read most of kanji, writing it is much harder.

can anyoune tell me what "無皇刃譚" in ストレンヂア無皇刃譚 means?
un-emperor blade talk?

>>89866774
You don't need to go back.
Just read stuff you like and make a new deck in anki for all the words you can't read/don't know.

>>89866879
tbh making a custom anki deck was such a hassle
in fact it was the prime reason i slowly slided into quitting
when i finished KD
I started making my own deck with the ~500 jouyou kanji that KD missed and making a deck of 20 cards from scratch, making a mnemonic etc. was too time consuming.
(it's much harder if you do it plain kanji-meaning+reading)

Forgive me, but I'm a little new to this. Is there any importance to the memorization of onyomi besides more than one jukugo containing it? Or is that the whole point?

>>89867138
>(it's much harder if you do it plain kanji-meaning+reading)
That's how I've done it so far.
Haven't even touched any of the pre-made decks.

>>89867204
Onyomi often is too irregular to justify learning it, there are some exceptions but overall you'll still have to learn all the compound words anyway. If you just guess the reading/meaning based on onyomi/what you think the kanji mean, you'll be wrong more than you'll be right.
Learning Kunyomi will give you legitimate words that you can use, so if the choice is between on or kun, go for kun.

>>89867138
>tfw finishing those jouyou today
Fuck, I don't even have a face for this feeling.
Did take a long time to make the cards though.

>>89867301
I see, thank you. So, would you suggest looking at compound words that can be formed with the particular kanji and then deciding weather or not to memorize the onyomi based on how many compound words actually make use of it?

>>89867327
share 'em

>>89867541
I-I'm too embarrassed. It's only kanji+meaning and common words.

>>89867458
Yeah, if you're using something like kanjidamage it has a few of them listed. If you want to find a kanji's use go to jisho.org and search "*X*", where X is the kanji. That will list all uses of the character regardless of where it is in the word. If it's too much work, you can just learn by recognizing patterns in your other vocab studies.

What does this translate to?

So I'm just gonna suspend Core2k until I'm done with the Genki vocabulary.

Who the fuck thought putting words like legislation, administration and three different ways of saying management and organisation before words like car, dog and city would be a good idea?

>>89869026
Why aren't you using the Core 2k/6k Optimized Japanese Vocabulary deck?

>>89869107

Too much clutter for my tastes. If there's anything more than the word and its translation, I always start to remember the cards based on their layout rather than the word itself.

Weebs.

>>89869156
You can modify the card layout and put example sentences and voices to back side or leave them out.

>>89869026
Are you sure you haven't set it for random card order?
I'm using Core2k, I've already got "car", "dog" and "city" there and haven't seen those terms you've mentioned.
>>89869156
> I always start to remember the cards based on their layout rather than the word itself
I was also afraid of that, that's why I moved images to the back side and made the sentence(in kanji) a hint field.
So on the front side I see either a word or a sentence in kana + audio, nothing more.

>>89867720
>>89868036
I waffled for a while because it's a really shitty deck, but hopefully this can save others some time at the very least.
Some vocab for the kanji deck:

>>89868989
仕方あるまい、あの怪物バイクで誰かひきかねんぞ

I just finished learning the hirigana and katakana and I am now moving on to the kanji.

I read through all of the information on kanjidamage and after actually going onto the kanji pages it has a hell of a lot of different information. Is there any option that is simpler than this? Is it teaching me more than I need to know? If not I guess I will try and make sense of it all but it is really overwhelming when the first kanji is surrounded by a couple of paragraphs.

>>89871979
Just learn the kunyomi and jukugo that you can. You should also be using a vocab deck like JLPT or CoreXK to supplement. It's not that hard just give it some time and keep trying.

>>89871979

The point of kanji study is character recognition as a supplement for vocabulary study.
Add the kunyomi and jukugo to your vocabulary deck and study them seperately.

>>89871979
You don't have to learn kanji individually if you don't want to. It won't really help you in anyway and it takes longer. (Just my opinion)
Learn them trough vocab.

>>89872140

20. I decided to learn Japanese at 16, but oh, I'll wait until summer. Then the end of high school, then the end of college. I finally quit making excuses and dedicated myself to a little progress each day and now I can read fairly competently.
It's never too late. Don't regret not starting sooner and putting it further off.

>>89872670
>implying i'm not a little girl

>>89871979
It's best to split the work.
Read Tea Kim or other grammar book since first day.
Start with simply kanji and their on reading.
Learn kun readings with okurigana (actual words) separately.
Depending on you, immediately or after a while, start learning jukugo as well.

Learning everything you see on KD's cards at once isn't too wise, focus on one task at the time, it's better to do four thing half an hour each than spend two hours trying to comprehend everything.

>>89872187
Vocabfag, how many decks are you using? I finished KD and found that it's easier for me to do several decks with lower amount of cards at once than setting big new cards limit for one deck. Is it the same with vocab-only study?

>>89873492

>>89869026 here. Three vocab decks, but I'm gonna turn up the new cards in the other two in exchange for stopping new cards in one of them.

>>89873492
I only use 1 deck.
I've had no reason to make multiple decks so far.

>>89874050
The ねん is a sentence ending particle for Kansai dialect.

The ひき is probably 轢き.

You can actually still play it in Japanese.

Are there any non region locked games for the 3DS or DS that have fairly basic Japanese?

>>89875021
all 3DS games are region locked.
DS games however are not, I also heard Pokemon White/Black 2 use kanji and not just kana like they used to. Other than that i know Animal Crossing is simple but thats it as far as I know of (not that i'm an expert on the subject though)

>>89875134
Oh, Wild World? Cos New Leaf's not an option for me given the region lock.

>>89875176

Wild World lets you choose between kanji and kana modes.
Unfortunately it doesn't have furigana, the resolution of the DS doesn't allow it.
Pokémon X/Y will have furigana though.

>>89875225
Great, thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna give it a go.
