When I listen to the YUYU Japanese podcast, I feel like I understand like 80% of everything he's saying. It's not too bad, and even when I get lost, I can still generally follow along and eventually find my place again. He spends a lot of time explaining things in multiple ways, though, so of course he's easy to follow. On the other hand, when I've tried to watch anime without subtitles, the second they start talking in-depth about something or otherwise go beyond surface-level chatter, I immediately get lost and can't follow along. Is there a list of more simple or easy-to-follow anime? Shows that can be more thoroughly understood, even by retards like me?

what are you talking about, i have almost 75% recognition of twewy
it's slowly getting easier.
i also have 100gb left on my hard drive, so i can't download more anime until i get a new hard drive.
i WAS watching sonic x in japanese, but i don't think it's worth $40/month for lingopie.

duh what did you expect? you can get a ton of pussy on that app if you're good looking. its the same as any other app like this the women are inundated with hundreds of messages from hideous third worlders to the point that 60 year old grannies have to put "no romance" in their bio lmao.
but you can still meet people very easily in voice rooms especially if you maintain one of ur own. i've met literally hundreds of jp people in those and had long term communication to varying degrees with many of them outside of the voiceroom afterwards including meeting up where im at and in jp.

there is a large subsection of japanese people on hellotalk that are just there to hang out and shoot the shit. the other biggest part of the pie chart are there cause they think they can be taught english from literal 0 which is ofc absurd. then the last maybe 3% are people that are actually there to make any progress at all

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>

>>50835296
at my level, figuring out in output when to use こと,もの,なんて,and なんか are vital. if i can master these 4 things, i should be able to go anywhere in this language.
なんて and なんか to me feel like sentence enhancers that just add fluff to the sentence. shouldn't be that hard to get used to using.
as for こと, it still feels strange to me, figuring out when it's needed and whatnot.

>>50835287
>>50835362
>why does 方法 require a こと here? why couldnt you just say my study method is playing japanese videogames.
that's a simple AはBです sentence. so you want the copula です at the end but the it doesn't directly follow verbs. you need to nominalize the verb in the predicate so both A and B end up being nouns. you always use こと in this specific sentence pattern, never の.

Aside from the English dub, that version is better in just about every way. Not sure what you're talking about. Also, every re-release includes the Japanese dub, so it's a non-issue in the big 2026.

when you listen to anime you don't necessarily learn to understand it, you have to first acquire an ear that is accustomed to japanese sounds later its more about sentence pattern recognition
only after this can you truly listen for comprehension

Yup. A big giveaway is the use of the passive form with an intransitive verb to show the speaker is the one burdened by the action, though it's not directly stated.
Did you figure that out yourself or did the AI tell you?

I quit: the difference in difficulty between Japanese and Chinese is ridiculous
I am a fluent Cantonese speaker and have been studying Japanese for a few years. I am appalled at just how ridiculous the Japanese language is with unfathomable levels of complexity, bs, and unnecessary things. Chinese is incredibly easy when put side by side it's almost comical...just to put things in perspective.
Let me make the case for Chinese:
* Simple, SVO structure always that is concise and gets to the point
* One character => one pronunciation 99.9% of the time
* Grammar? Minimal. No cases. No agreement. No conjugation! Nothing declines. Nothing inflects. Time is communicated by just... saying the time. "Yesterday me go. Tomorrow me go again. Me like food. You like food? Good, we together eat." A prehistoric hominid waking from a 10,000-year sleep could be functional in Chinese within a week. Adjectives don't agree with nouns, nothing changes.
* Formality? NOPE! One way of speaking to everyone, no matter if you're old, young, or poor or the president. You speak to the emperor and your toddler the same way. There is no keigo.
* Conditionals? One word 如果
I decided Japanese is way too hard for me :(. It's just too much unnecessary stuff and ridiculously ambiguous, irregular rules. What I learned. Japanese basically borrowed the Kanji from China and managed to turn things into the most convoluted mess.
Most sentences have complicated structure that omits a ton of context and requires positional particles.
Kanji pronunciations? 生 ... enough said. It's ridiculous and gets even crazier that people's names even have different readings too!
Grammar? Entire books of conjugations, irregular forms, special cases, etc.
The ridiculous context-heavy aspect of every conversation. You can omit everything and expect to be understood or sometimes you have to be as passive aggressive as possible to communicate something basic.
Formality is insane. Casual, polite, politest, keigo and within keigo there is Teineigo and Sonkeigo. You'd think these are only used in ancient crusty books, but NOO, they are everywhere in customer service and in companies. Practically a different language.
Conditionals: Japanese has at minimum 5 from what I've learned:
* **ば** (hypothetical/general truth) 食べれば、元気になる "If you eat, you'll feel better"
* **たら** (sequential/temporal) 食べたら、行こう "Once you've eaten, let's go", after completing an action or in time
* **〜と** (automatic consequence) 春になると、花が咲く "When spring comes, flowers bloom" — inevitable, but *cannot* be used for intentions which BLOWS my mind
* **〜なら** (contextual/topic-based) 行くなら、教えて "If you're going, tell me" conditioned on something the speaker just learned
* **〜ても** (concessive) 食べても、まだ空腹だ "Even if I eat, I'm still hungry"
The て form is insane and really crazy. Just to share what it does...
* 食べ**て**いる currently eating (progressive)
* 食べ**て**いた was eating
* 食べ**て**ある has been eaten (resultant state, by someone, with implication of purpose)
* 食べ**て**おく eat in advance/preparation
* 食べ**て**みる try eating
* 食べ**て**しまう eat completely / eat regrettably (these are the *SAME FORM*, context decides)
* 食べ**て**くる go eat and come back
* 食べ**て**いく eat as you go / continue eating forward in time
* 食べ**て**もらう have someone eat (from your perspective of receiving the favor)
* 食べ**て**あげる eat for someone's benefit
* 食べ**て**くれる eat as a favor to me
* 食べ**て**ほしい I want you to eat
* 食べ**て**ください please eat (polite)
* 食べ**て**はいけない must not eat
It's UNHINGED the language has a conjugation for EXISTENTIAL REGRET. It's mindblowing when you negate that too, and it also has a contraction たべなきゃ which is yet another thing you have to learn.
There's also NO way to say that you must do something. Instead you say you musn't not do it. Incredibly passive and unnecessary.
Counting words are also crazy. In Chinese sure we have measure words but they are easy and don't change their pronunciation. I almost pulled my hair out by the roots when I learned these about Japanese:
* 一**匹** (ippiki) mall animals
* 一**頭** (ittō) large animals
* 一**羽** (ichiwa)
"One small animal" is **ip**\-piki but "six small animals" is **rop**\-piki and "ten small animals" is **jup**\-piki. These aren't regular rules you derive. they're sound changes you memorize per counter.
Pitch accent is also a hidden system all within itself. Honestly the most convoluted language in the world.
>>
>>
>>50836159
It's a real term, Mlenko. It's a direct translation of 迷惑の受身, which is used by actual linguists.
The indirect passive is also another term for it, but I think suffering better communicates its syntactic role in a sentence.
>>
>>
>>
>>50836112
>Did you figure that out yourself or did the AI tell you?
Ai told me it was passive and it didn't make sense to me as a passive. "to act" as a passive would be, in english, something like "to be acted upon". it didn't make sense at all. the AI was saying in this case, the verb means "to act" not "acted upon", with the nuance of the speaker being affected by it. that's when i recognized it as the suffering passive.

halfway through the episode now. yeah it's manageable but the grammar is pretty tough. i'll try to stick through it. they're in middle school so is it the case this grammar and vocab is at the middle school level?
>>
>>
>>50836196
>"to act" as a passive would be, in english, something like "to be acted upon".
I don't think you quite understand the concept, but to be fair, neither does mlenko (kek). This is probably gonna go over your head, but the verb "to act" can be both transitive and intransitive, whereas "to act upon" is only transitive. Meanwhile, 立ち回る is always intransitive, so if you're gonna translate it as "to act," you can only think of it as a verb of movement. But obviously, this doesn't work in English. You can't passivize an intransitive verb.
Now in English, this kind of sentence should be in active voice:
>If you act as you please, there's trouble.
But the speaker makes it passive, which is impossible to render in English:
>If I am acting-as-you-please'd by you, there's trouble
See? This is why everyone fails to understand the concept. You literally can't write it in English, but that's how it's technically being worded to show that the action affects the speaker negatively. Also, Mlenko could never explain this LMFAO GET FUCKED MLENKO AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

for web development and low stakes stuff im pretty sure nobody will be writing any code by hand at that point. it will be a lot of orchestration and planning. for stuff like aeronautics, defense systems, car systems etc where there are consequences beyond a big aws bill or infinite react rerenders probably not. or at least there will be much more human-in-the-loop.

This is genuinely comical how much Japan loves to shoot itself in the foot. There is already a severe shortage of skilled tech workers in Japan, the vast majority of talent aren't going to grind years of n2 for an otherwise useless language that's only spoken on a single tiny island with a declining economy. They should be begging skilled overseas techs to come over and offer years long japanese language training. But that would require the Japanese to speak English and we all know most Japanese (looking at you salarymen) have done and will do anything and everything to avoid learning another language.

Literally everything I write is correct, but your Japanese is so shitty, that you literally don't know what's natural and what's not.
Remember when you criticized Howard's novel, but it was already corrected by a native speaker? Then you accused him of having the native write the whole thing, which effectively means you accused a native of being unnatural LMFAOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SO BAD AT JAPANESE

nips almost always move to lib shitholes like cali or nyc when they go there for a year and they are comically susceptible to political indoctrination cause their lives in japan have been nothing but the rat race since they were born. so they had 0 time to develop critical thinking skills sufficient to endure the bombardment of propaganda they get in the us. ive spoken to multiple japanese women that have lived in the us and they all sound like generic retarded white girls from socal, its kinda disturbing

I'm watching Fate/Zero only Japanese for listening practice.
If I'm understanding correctly, the Holy Grail only chooses those with the strongest desire to become Masters and fight in the war, and the Church priest got chosen, but for some reason the head of the Tousaka family and the Church father/pope believe the priest getting chosen by the Grail is a mere coincidence or irregularity so they can pull him into a scheme to secure their win in the war, even though they themselves admit that the priest lost his wife not long ago.
Are they retarded? It seems obvious that the Grail chose the priest precisely because he has a strong desire to revive his wife, and thus he will turn on them when the time comes.
Or is it that I'm misunderstanding?

I absolutely cannot begin to wrap my head around the grammar structure of japanese. I learned the kana and I've learned a basic set of vocabulary, but i absolutely can't make sense of shit and every resource just leaves me in the dust

I was the same. Japanese people speak backwards from the perspective of Western languages.
What you need is more exposure to the language. Keep engaging with it and trying to understand it, and eventually your brain will start accepting it as normal.

Skip the core deck and go right to reading and making your own flashcards. You can use any beginner resource you'd like to learn basic grammar, but grammar is something you learn as you read. The JLPT levels are arbitrary and often not reflective of the actual material you'll encounter in media.

so まい means it's 'likely not true' and is an assumption. so it leaves open the possibility that the assumption is in fact true

that's not what yomitan says
わかるまい means 'you likely don't understand' according to pic related

>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>50842412
まい is a negative volitional form
it's like a negated version of of the ~(よ)う volitional form or だろう, でしょう
then you have to try to understand how the volitional form works in japanese and what it really means
because it doesn't always just mean "let's do something" like 行こう let's go or やろう let's do it
when the subject of the volitional verb is first-person it usually expresses strong will to do in the future, like 私が行こう I will go, 話を聞こう I will listen to your story
when the subject of the volitional verb is third-person it usually expresses conjecture that something will probably happen in the future, like 雨が降ろう rain will probably fall, 会議では多くの反論が出されよう many opposing arguments will likely be presented at the conference
it's like a future form, but for many cases だろう or でしょう would be used instead of a normal volitional verb
like 雨が降るだろう it will probably rain, 反論が出されるだろう arguments will probably be presented
~まい is like a negated form of this, still future but negative
私が行くまい I will not go, 話を聞くまい I/they will not listen to your story
雨が降るまい it will probably not rain, 反論が出されまい arguments will probably not be presented

Correct. The speaker is speculating something isn't the case. New learners often misunderstand it as the classical negative, but it's actually the suppositional negative.

All you had to do was nod your head and say, "Yes, Nora, you're correct," but no, you always assume he's wrong, so you end up sounding like a retard when you offer your "correction" kek

Quizmaster betrayed me. I updated my card front/back/styling to his template, but the cards end up looking COMPLETELY different from how they're "advertised" on his GitHub. If I had known it would out the fucking word left of the picture instead of on top I would've never made this change. And then for some reason the definition is at the very bottom when according to the description it's essential information and therefore near the top of the card.
You've betrayed me Quizmasy. Why...

Can anyone tell me what this says, to me it looks like a 9 and 3 but that isn't a nine. I have miniscule understanding of kanji because I am lazy.

>depends on what else you do
Anki reps, and I just started watching unsubbed anime.
>how many hours you spend on average not individual days
A bit over two hours each day starting about a week ago, and that's just for podcasts. Anki reps and anime are on top of that.
>your current level
I'd guess between N4 and N3? I've been able to make it through hour-long conversations with Japanese people in Japanese if they talk slowly and simply, but watching Japanese TV shows has me completely lost.
>your goals/desire timeframe
I want to be able to consume Japanese content without having to care about anyone translating it for me. I'm also going to be going to Japan again in 2-3 years and I want to be able to speak naturally enough that, whenever I talk to someone, they don't find it frustrating or annoying to try to deal with me.
>the difficulty of the specific podcast
It's the YUYU Japanese podcast, so the difficulty is quite low. Though it's useful for being able to pick out a lot of words to add to my Anki deck.

wei was a chink who did like 500 new cards a day. it appears he did something so fowl or awesome that the tranny admin of tmw attempted to wipe his memory from existence, deleting every single post that ever mentioned him
also this captcha is so fucking annoying no one would be willing to do it except an AI

i asked
and each time i post i have to answer THREE of these insanely hard IQ shape rotation questions. so be fucking grateful you got a reply
>>50845667
he was a chink but didn't know chinese so no kanji buff. looks like his accuracy was 50-60% percent and he did like 200-500 new cards a day (like 2K reviews I think) up to 20,000+, reaching the Eternal Idol quiz rank which is basically the highest rank you get on tmw without being a dictionary memorizer or 60 book a month autist. people are calling this revolutionary new method, made possible by advances in FSRS technology, the "wei method"

because は is marking the topic and subject, which needs to be a noun, and の makes it a noun (phrase)
actually if you want to sound like a badass samurai you can use が with just a raw verb but i don't think は

>>50845747
Because we're nominalizing the verb phrase. We're not saying "I take care of the dog is very fun," we're saying "TAKING care of the dog is very fun."

Why are you so bad at grammar? This is not a feel it out thing. This has a direct translation wtf fakeshit

just ran into 何たる in my immersion
this seems like important grammar, but apparantly it's not on the JLPT.
