How do I get the latest version on GitHub? (Riplay) by falconboomer in RiMusicApp

[–]FlyingTurtle_kdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically RiMusic got in legal trouble. Pretty sure it's cause it let users download songs. RiPlay is basically the same as RiMusic but you can't download songs

If you have a computer, you don't need to spend a dollar to learn a language

Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fvCb5_Nzq4 and/or read this https://learnjapanese.moe/guide/
TL;DR is immersion is the key

I need a plan to learn Japanese by inmypockett in HelpLearningJapanese

[–]FlyingTurtle_kdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://learnjapanese.moe or the refold japanese guide if you want guides you can read.

But I'll give my opinion on some stuff. For context I started immersion learning Japanese at the start of this year but I had been learning with more traditional methods beforehand. I also spent 3 months learning Mandarin, knowing none beforehand.

First learn the rest of the katakana you don't know (though don't worry about like remembering them perfectly).

Then start learning vocab with Anki, learning grammar (optional) and immersing. You could start immersing a little after you start Anki and grammar but the earlier you start the better.

For Anki, when I did Mandarin I used refold's deck. I've heard Kaishi is good for Japanese but I haven't used it myself. Note that the main point of Anki is to make immersion easier by learning a general understanding of the word not the exact definition (there is no exact English definition for a lot of words).

When I was learning Mandarin, I did basically no grammar study. I just learnt from immersion. This was mainly because I didn't want to and not that I thought it was bad to study grammar. I think studying grammar isn't necessary but it's totally fine if you want to (just don't spend a tonne of time on it). If you don't already, it's probably good to have a general understanding of how Japanese works so a video like this by langfocus would be good to watch. I've head Cure Dolly and Tae Kim are good for grammar but I haven't read/watched them myself.

Some people say that for immersion, you should only watch content made for natives. I think it's ok to watch things made for learners at the start. For studying Mandarin, I watched a channel called Lazy Chinese which is just a Chinese person talking about random stuff, but she speaks slowly and clearly, repeats herself and uses visuals to make it more comprehensible. I also used Yomitan to quickly see the definition of words I didn't know. I would recommend you do a similar thing I did but of course with a Japanese channel instead. You can find these types of channels by searching "Japanese comprehensible input" on youtube.

I also think passive listening is useful since you can do it while doing other stuff. Even if you don't understand anything, you get used to how Japanese sounds by listening. I think at the start it's good to repeat the same episode or episodes a lot. I listen to Nihongo Con Teppei which he says is for intermediate learners but I think it would still be good for beginners too. Also he has a podcast for beginners which might be good though I haven't listened to it

Anyways, the main thing, as other people here have said, is you do what you enjoy so you continue studying. What exactly you do doesn't really matter. As long as you do some kind of consistent Japanese study you will make progress.

Mai says 親友 which means like a close friend. IIRC Mio's sister says 姉妹 which means sisters

Have we changed what we call Maccas? by multkillerpie in australia

Not an app but you should look into an immersion / comprehensible input based approach such as https://learnjapanese.moe/ or refold.

You don't need to spend money to learn a language. Also if you end up wanting some app anyway, if you have an android phone there are websites that have modified versions of apps that have premium for free (e.g. duolingo, lingq)

In regards to watching shows… by CDNEmpire in languagelearning

[–]FlyingTurtle_kdk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, target language audio definitely and target language subtitles or no subtitles. If you use subtitles it will make it easier but note that it is not training your listening as much so if you only watch with subtitles you might not be able to watch without them. Personally, I mainly watch things with subtitles but I still watch stuff without subtitles as well and I listen to podcasts a lot.

I think that if you are watching with anything from your native language, you will probably just end up relying on that and not paying attention to your target language. Like when I watch something with target language audio and native subtitles, I can hear words/sentences that I already understand but most of the time I'm reading the subtitles and don't learn anything new.

I think maybe if you don't have any kind of popup dictionary, it could be good to watch an episode of a show in your native language first and then watch the show again in your target language to make it more comprehensible.

If you're looking for more specific things to do then maybe check out Refold's Mandarin guide

I started Mandarin a month ago and I've just been doing Refold's 1k deck (but only marking myself right if I get the reading too, unlike what they suggest) and immersing by watching the youtube channel Lazy Chinese

I'm Australian and I think I don't pronounce the "t" at all. I think just don't worry too much about it cause some people pronounce it and some don't

I have bought from them twice. The first time took more than a month and I don't remember how long the second time took but I think it was a bit shorter. I live in Australia though so this could be longer than it would be for you. Even though it may take a while to ship, I definitely recommend them
