/2/ - 日本 ~redux~

Instead of keeping a diary about your own life, maybe you could try writing some diary entries from the perspective of a fictional character?

that would make me look mega autistic though…


is duolingo any good?

>>1159
who cares if you look mega autistic, writing fiction like that is probably the best and easiest solution here. Stretch your creative muscles!

Maybe a make a diary of fictional events that you want to do, like your first trip to japan, where would you go, what would you do while you're there?

Give this a try

Write about games you’ve played, manga you’ve read, stuff you’ve watched. Write short reviews or notes on them.

Argue with people on Japanese twitter.

Unfortunately you'll have to do 10-20 new cards and however many reviews of Anki every single day. Use a frequency deck like Core 2000 or Kaishi 1.5k (my personal favorite).

As for the grammar, I don't really know how to learn grammar on your own, I was taught it in class. You could probably make some use out of getting a comprehensive grammar textbook.

AJATT is solid but be warned the community is full of massive faggots I would recommend against interacting with them

this sounds good

Also, I am at least somewhat proud of myself for getting an interest in the language through Super Smash Brothers, Deltarune and Hataraku Saibou as opposed to through cartoons of little girls or some other degenerate rubbish.

DELTARUNE (just pronounce the "u" quickly
とても いい
あそぶ

my artistic talent is phenomenal

dont be discouraged. learning the language gets exponentially easier fast atleast in my experience it was . hard–→medium/easy–→very-easy after that the only effort is daily practice/routine

my method for memorizing was to assign a mini story to the sound of a word. as odd as it sounds the sounds (pum not intended) act as a sort of boundary to the stories you can create for each word/word combo.

uchi tsukeru, naguru definitely sound like punching someone in the face vs uruoi which sounds like dribbling, creamy moisture….

na (jump aaaaa)
gu (hit uuuuuu)
ru (guy getting hit flies/tumbles over rrrrrrruuuuuuuu)

etc exercise your imagination

as for reading kanji after a time you realize theyre easily-interpretable cartoons each assigned a sound, then it gets even easier because tai is opposite so taiketsu is confrontation, hantai is opposition etc. so cartoon compounds, you ll vaguely understand words as cartoons. mix this method with method 1 for memorizing the word

there is a good anki deck for the grammar with several sentence for each point look it up its right there a few clicks in anki https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/843402109 looks good enough

not sure how much japanese is required to really survive and be fluent at working level though

and then theres the "slang" but by that point it should be easy to learn

just my lowly humble opinion , wolud not want to assert my knowledge as authoritative, you never know who might be listening and seeing it as a disgrace… but im probably way overthinking, still better safe than sorry, im neither japanese nor westerner lol spo could be out of the loop… careful with the posts the letters the bits

would be cool to have some sort of anki "score" overlay for each kanji/word in japanese for both browsers and e readers, with shades of red/green depending on how large/distant the interval is. would work as a fun motivator when reading casually to know what to skim
