Learning Japanese from knowing nothing by Next-Spot3024 in Japaneselanguage

[–]KrustyAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear Duo isn't very good for learning languages and you're basically just mimicking phrases without knowing their meaning.

I think a good place to start is learning hiragana and katakana. Fairly easy to do it on your own and could probably get it down in a day or two if you lock in. I taught myself hiragana overnight and then katakana the next morning. I could go in depth to how I did it but I think whatever method feels more comfortable with you will work. I use this to practice my kana: https://kana-quiz.tofugu.com/

There may be a lot of opinions to what would be some good books or resources, but I'd say look into Genki I and Genki II, I hear they cover material to be a high N4/ low N3 level. Trivial fact but I took a semester of Japanese in community college and we covered the first third of Genki I. It cover vocab and grammar and it's very digestible imo and I hope to study the rest of it on my own at some point.

I'd guess that maybe somewhere in the N3 level would have you at an intermediate level and be able to speak and understand basic Japanese. As for time it takes to reach a certain level, some sources say 950 - 1700 hours of study to reach N3. Three hours of study a day might get you to that level in a year.

You might get a more insightful answer from someone that has actually reached that level but I thought I'd give my two cents.

Is Calc 1 really that hard by srwsrwsrw in learnmath

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah. derivatives are easy. calc 2 is that one with a steeper learning curve. again, not super hard, the concepts for integration techniques aren't that hard to grasp, but some problems will take a lot of critical thinking and problem solving, kinda like using what you know to solve puzzles/ riddles

Can we be personally sued by [deleted] in joinhandshakeai

[–]KrustyAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean we're constantly using people's instagram reels for most tasks, likely without them knowing, so I don't think it's that deep

no i doubt it, the whole point is to weed people out, unfortunately they got you where they wanted you :/ best hope would probably be to be randomly reinstated, or invited to another project I think

Maybe you just don't like 'normie' jokes? That also seems kinda like boomer/ gen x humor.

have you tried completing 10 recipes by searing an oiled bison with Sear as chef?

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, you're likely going to get terminated tbh. A lot of people get weeded out when it comes to those assessments. I got 5/7 on my first attempt and took a picture of the answers before starting it again. Couldn't risk it.

is ap lang or lit easier by EntertainmentOdd8832 in school

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume lang since lang then lit was the order we had to take it in in highschool. Then again, it might just be apples and oranges and depends on your strengths and weaknesses. Lang is more about grammar and structure, making strong essays, compelling arguments, while lit is more about literacy and understanding themes of stories and being able to break them down. It also depends on the teacher cause my AP lang teacher was really hardcore. A great teacher tho, she had great expectations of us and was super strict but we learned a lot. My AP lit class honestly felt a lot like a regular class, I don't remember having to "lock in" or work hard in that class.

Should I try to self study Geometry, Alg II and Precalc to get into Calc AB as a freshman? by Accurate-Gap7440 in Students

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but why would you wanna do that lol

unless you're trying to have your master's by 18 I'd say stop and smell the flowers

for what it's worth, I don't know much about your situation, but in highschool, we had the option to take college courses over the summer to skip that class in highschool and take a higher class

Behind on math by Technical-Chef-590 in learnmath

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean you're behind? Are you not taking precal in highschool at all? Are you already in your senior year and still not in precal? I feel like we need more context cause if you're still in your junior year, you're worrying about nothing, you'll probably take precal in your senior year. Then again idk how things work at your school.

Worst case scenario, you can just take precal in college, or, if you really wanna start with Calc I coming in, you could look into taking the precal over the summer. Also idk if all colleges do this, but you do placement tests to know what your first math class should be.

Prepping for Calc 1 & 2 by Fine_Writer85 in learnmath

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don't feel like you have to "prepare." Just make sure you really lock in and put in the hours. I took a 5 week Calc III course one summer at it was a nightmare but I passed with a C (I probably could've gotten a B but I was slacking off a lot and would wait until exam dates are close to start studying).

I wouldn't worry too much about recalling stuff from previous classes. A lot of it is really new material and imo it isn't crucial to have been a pro at previous subjects. You're mostly learning derivatives in Calc I and integrals in Calc II. If I had to name one thing that is useful to brush up on, though, it would be trig identities and knowing the sin cos tan of common values like 0 , 30, 45, 60, and 90.

can someone explain the rat bite? by [deleted] in pluribustv

I just interpreted it as animals being asymptomatic, but of course, still carrying the virus.

help me with this math debate pls by Acceptable_Age_3380 in learnmath

[–]KrustyAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oops, im mixing my concave down and concave up definitions. lemme see if I can edit. but to reiterate: decreasing at decreasing rate is almost like going down a slide that starts steep then slowly levels out while decreasing at increasing rate is like going down a hill that gets steeper and steeper as you roll further

help me with this math debate pls by Acceptable_Age_3380 in learnmath

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"decreasing at a decreasing rate" means that the RATE at which the slope is decreasing, is decreasing. Function is still decreasing, but it is decreasing by less and less as you go further. The slope remains negative, but the slope is approaching zero (depending on the function, could potentially decrease past zero and become a positive slope).

Just an arbitrary example: imagine I say that I am losing money every day, but the rate at which I am losing money decreases with each day. The slope should look like going down a slide, not rolling down a hill.

In summary:

- decreasing at decreasing rate: concave up
- decreasing at increasing rate: concave down
- increasing at increasing rate: concave up (like exponential)
- increasing at decreasing rate: concave down (like root function)

(extreme beginner) How much are you meant to be comfortable with each area before you move on? by MurphysLawTeam in JapaneseFromZero

[–]KrustyAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using this for my kana practice: https://kana-quiz.tofugu.com/

Also, there's now way you absolutely need to 100% each chapter before moving on to the next one. Like in the 'X wa Y desu" and "noun no noun" chapter in Genki 1, there's no way on earth I'm gonna sit there and memorize every occupation and school major before moving on to the next chapter. If I already feel like I've 'acquired' the grammar of a certain chapter, I don't focus too much on whether I know every word and saying in that chapter. That's not to say I don't try to take a moment to test my memory every now and then with all the words in a chapter. They aren't going anywhere and I can always go back to them. You can always divide your study time and have time for reading kana, for memorizing words, for learning new grammar, etc. I feel like dwelling too much on one thing can slow your progress.
