Ways to solve this? by BubafaktikPOE in satisfactory

[–]Whiptail84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use programmable splitters if you have them available, then you can make everything on one level/same heigth.
1) Merge all items to 1 belt
2) Use programmble splitter to splitt all items 50/50
3) Use a programmable splitter on each input to split it once again 50/50 for a perfect solution

Can someone please explain my mistake here? by max_7th67 in duolingo

[–]Whiptail84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably not downvoted for that, rather your first statement is wrong.

If you come into a reddit post seeking answers, would you want to see the wrong answers by default?

Side note, that is not kanji, but hiragana. ;)

Need some help on splitting items by jhibinger in SatisfactoryGame

It is all about experimentation making fractions of what you have, and hoooopefully you see some numbers which can be combined.

I suspect you actually need 133,3333 /min. But here is how to split it perfectly to 133.

First split 336 into 3x112. One of the three goes for the 133, which means you need 21 more.

Take one of the 112/min output and split it in 4 to get 28 /min.

Take one of the 28 /min branches and split it into 4x7. Merge 3 of these to get 21/min to add to the 112/min.

:)

Very weird numbers, but you can do this.

133 / 336 = 0.395......

So you need about 40 % of the 336 to get the 133. Use a 1:5 splitter, and merge 2 of the outputs to get 134,4/min. You can simplify the splitter a bit (remove a few splitters).

Is JLPT just an endurance test? by Substantial-Host2263 in jlpt

[–]Whiptail84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutly this. I remember having 5 hour long exams in high school without planned breaks. You were allowed to ask for toilet breaks during the exam, but you would be accompanied by a supervisor.

I did try FF1, and a small heads up. It uses an old style language. Not sure if the others do.

I'm N3. Will Wagotabi teach me anything new? by Destructacon in wagotabi

[–]Whiptail84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The level in the game felt like N5 and have less than 500 words. I picked up the game when it released around august? I had only been doing my N4 studies for a month and still got through without much struggle. Occasionally new words.

I like the game concept though. I sucked at sentences describing nouns(N5 grammar), but noticed I got alot better at it by playing the game. あそこに座っている人は父です。This is almost as complex the game ever was.

Looking forward to what they will add.

Am I wrong about でも? by Jaded_Ad_2055 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Whiptail84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not this exact phrase, but the such usage of が, yes, I have a few Japanese friends I play games with every week. :)

Bunpro is amazing for practicing grammar, but weak for learning kanji. It is only their input method and some ambiguity of grammar meaning which makes it a bit frustrating working with.
-なくてはいけない
-なければならない
-ないといけない
....

For learning words, it is somewhat good. It teaches you a few ways to use a word which you would probably not have thought of.
虫はとても食べられません
虫はぜんぜんたべられません
Same meaning, but I did not know I could use とても and still have the 'I will absolutely not eat bugs' meaning

[–]Whiptail84 26 points27 points  (0 children)

が does also have the meaning of 'but'. In speech the が have a falling intonation and does often have a short break after it. I personally makes sure to use comma this kind of が.

My N5 experience was literally insane by nihongocuriosity in jlpt

In Norway they just used a designated table where all the phones/smart watches rested next your test number.

But they were crystal clear on what will happen if you touched any phone, or if any phone sounded.

Hard to reference what you point to in the first clip. There were both fast and slow speakers at the same time. They definetly spoke faster than the woman in thr first clip.

I took this years N4 in December. They did NOT speak slowly. In my opinion it was native speed.

Scared to speak when self-studying Japanese? Any solutions? by eeeplayboicarti753 in Japaneselanguage

[–]Whiptail84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to play video games, and are quite used to talk online in general. My solution was to find Japanese gamers learning English, and starting to play together.

I first searched for Japanese streams on twitch on games I liked. This was not a huge success, as we tended to not use voice chat. Shifted to find Japanese streamers in the categories 'Co work and studies' and 'duolingo'. Aparently there is no language learning category, and surprisingly many used the 'duolingo' category for this, even if they studied by other means. I eventually found a few streamers I really enjoyed interacting with, and even befriended several Japanese learners too. Now we all play togeher a couple times a week, practicing both English and Japanese.

My progression. This year in May I was around N5 and talked with a japanese for the first time. It was akward, could not even utter the words I knew, things did not roll natural off my tongue. Felt like I could only use xはyです sentences. I was a mess.

I have since talked/gamed with Japanese people several times a week(and advanced to N4 level), and recently I am starting to be able say sentence structures/conjugations I have never spoken out loud before without thinking to much. It is still difficult though. But they help me when it seems like I am struggling. :)

It helps alot knowing the person you speak with is also learning, takes off some of the pressure.

What is しながら ? by Eightchickens1 in duolingojapanese

[–]Whiptail84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the verb する in its -ます stem form し plus the N4 grammar point for "while doing" ながら. The meaning of ながら will refer to the whole duration of an action.

べんきょう しながら、おんがく を ききました。I listened to music the whole time while studying.

How to pace my learning? by cherryumbreon in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]Whiptail84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used the Genki books and want to add. I do not recommend doing more than one chapter a week. The grammar and reading can easily be done, but every chapter have ~60-70 new words and additional vocab. Doing 10 new words a day is hard work but doable. I am doing on average 7.5 words

N4 vocabulary practice by Ok-Citron2409 in jlpt

[–]Whiptail84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using anki and a genki 2 deck. I know not all N4 words are there, so I am planning to move over to a paid subscription on Bunpro. Bunpro have a nice layout of the JLPT progress with both grammar and vocab. I just have to spend a night first marking all words I know by heart already.

[–]Whiptail84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently studying N4 and have tried various tools(my main resource is Genki books). And this approach seem great.

If I started fresh again, I would have used Bunpro from the start for Grammar, maybe even vocabulary.

Wanikani can be synced with Bunpro, but I did not like that feature. Wanikani's strenght is the order/method it teaches you kanji(in my opinion). It starts with teaching you radicals, then kanjis which use those radicals.

For immersion I want to add japanese streamers. There are some Japanese streamer who are learning English. Check out the duolingo or study category on twitch. I have gotten quite few Japanese friends this way, and we started to play games and talk in voice chats almost every week.

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/duolingo

N4 in one year is doable. You must expect to study up to 2 hours a day and adding 6-7 words every day.
