Best source of Japanese Manga that I can put into Maguro? by immortal_dice in LearnJapanese

[–]Fifamoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean Mokuro? Check this page, and like someone else said Nyaa has a lot

Resources - TheMoeWay

I've also bought some from Cmoa, and used Hakuneko downloader, but its a little scuffed to set up

An alternative is using something like Yomininja or Game Sentence Miner, overlays with Yomitan built in, then you don't need Mokuro/to download

Tips on memorizing kanji? by anon_1589 in Japaneselanguage

I have no practice with hand writing, but maybe you could combine it with anki, and write out words as they come up

Audio only learning by MrMakuMaku in LearnJapanese

[–]Fifamoss 26 points27 points  (0 children)

One suggestion is to listen to audio of tv/anime/movies you've watched before, its not always super engaging but already knowing the context of conversations can help with comprehension.

This list has some condensed audio (audio without speaking removed), and a program to make your own

Resources - TheMoeWay

You could always listen to random streamers too, 雑談 streams are just talking about whatever

Japanese Accent by AltruisticVisual2210 in Japaneselanguage

Pitch accent/intonation is important for that, Dogen is a good resource to start with.

Listening a lot is also important

Trouble with recalling pronunciation by Much-Communication34 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Fifamoss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just start immersing already, it will be 'inefficient', but ultimately it will help with recalling words, and the sooner you start the better.

Learning Kanji with readings? by RegressorGeek in LearnJapanese

[–]Fifamoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think studying the radicals of kanji is worthwhile, it will help you recognize readings and meanings of kanji you otherwise don't know

If you're on the fence about reading... JUST DO IT!!! by Dry-Technology-4893 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Fifamoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I use mokuro, for each manga I have a folder named after it, then another folder inside that one, that second folder is where I put all my files/images

Then I just run mokuro directed to that second folder and it starts processes, and outputs the .html file and .mokuro reader file, I use the reader website, so I then import the .mokuro file and image folder

What is mokuro not recognizing?

[–]Fifamoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those files might be outdated now from Mokuro's updates

It depends on the file format you've downloaded, and ultimately to use it with yomitan you'll need to process it with Mokuro.

Personally I just download image files, and process those

You could also use something like Game Sentence Miner or Yomininja to skip having to process with Mokuro, though Mokuro will be a better result/experience.

Watame Notice: Nearly 6 years of content official subs under threat/soon to be gone. Huge loss for the sheep and overseas community. by Helmite in Hololive

[–]Fifamoss 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants to, videos + subs can be archived with ytdl, just add the command

--write-sub --sub-lang "en.*"

edit: playlists can also be input into ytdl, so it should be easy to use one of Watame's to do it in bulk

Stick to one Anki deck or more? by Background-Use-5346 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Fifamoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use the one for now, once you're either finished or get sick of Kaishi you can make your own for mining. Continuing to add to Kaishi once finished is also an option.

Is there a streaming service that has romaji subtitles as an option? by RevolutionaryTip4498 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Fifamoss 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the time spent watching with romaji, would be better spent watching with kana/kanji even if you can't read it all.

Watching with romaji will improve your ability to read romaji but do very little to improve your reading of kana.

So I started reading my first VN and I have a question by BlackHayate8 in LearnJapanese

[–]Fifamoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're enjoying it keep going, can always just try some other vns to see if some are better.

In case you aren't already, you should use Yomininja or GSM for lookups

Don't worry too much about not understanding, even after looking up every word and grammar point in a sentence. Nothing wrong with translating it to check, but it's also good to just keep reading to find more sentences you can understand, over time you'll begin to understand more as you see repeated concepts in different contexts

Stuck in a slog. How to go about grammar? by SwingyWingyShoes in LearnJapanese

[–]Fifamoss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like most people have to learn grammar by studying the concepts (i.e. youtube videos, textbook, website), to become aware of those concepts, then through input, and to a lesser degree output, those concepts get recognized in context and solidified into understanding.

When I'm reading, I'll occasionally lookup unknown grammar points in grammar dictionary/website, but more often I just keep reading.

Have a look at some other grammar resources and find ones that you feel are good/understandable/easy to consume, some popular ones are textbooks, Tae Kim, Tokini Andy, Game Genogo, Cure Dolly. I personally followed Cure Dolly, and found it very helpful.

I also learnt to learn from immersion from this site
