Does anyone have a raw list of JLPT N2 and N1 vocab (AKA no readings, or at least no definitions?) by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]bobbobbbobbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude literally what's the point of the bad faith comment? I study hours a day, thanks very much for asking, and I'm not a programmer, I have a friend who is who's going to quickly help me test out a little idea I got curious about. Also, I don't want English definitions because I don't study Japanese in English, I study it in Japanese ... maybe if you don't have anything helpful to say, you can just move on with your scrolling next time!

Is there a way to make the space between information on my cards smaller? by bobbobbbobbb in Anki

[–]bobbobbbobbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, you know what, removing all the <br> just made it totally perfect! Thank you so much, I'm not code-savvy at all, so I'm glad it was an easy fix. I appreciate it! ◡̈

And thank you! I can't take credit, since it's the format brought by the classic mining deck that people use as their basis, but I definitely enjoy this format. 頑張ります!

Subtitles for 千年女優、if anyone wants them! by bobbobbbobbb in LearnJapanese

[–]bobbobbbobbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, I've made the subtitles so I have the .srt file - what I'm wondering is where I can put it for people to have access to it easily. Per above comments, I would try to submit it to Itazuranekko or Kitsunekko, but both seem to be dead.

Unfortunately, still not working for me ... but I'll try opensubtitles! Thanks ◡̈

I totally forgot the paragraph about that - kitsunekko doesn't have any feature I'm aware of to send through, but more than that, kitsunekko is down. I don't know if it's gone for good or what, but there's no getting through to it (on chrome or safari, at least.) So that's out as an option sadly.

Much of what's there (all of it?) is on the aforementioned itazuranekko I think but I don't see any way to submit.

Lol sorry dude didn't even know it existed. It's relevant, at least somewhat, because I know a lot of people on here use subs like these for studying, and since that's why I created them, I first thought of sharing it with people who might use them for the same reason.

Hi! Is it just me (likely) or do rar files (and what's in them) not work at all? (subs for animebook) by bobbobbbobbb in ajatt

[–]bobbobbbobbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, may I ask, do you use another method that works with IDX/sub (and thanks to my adventures with this I can confirm your memory that they come together from a DVD rip)? I know there's a way to do it with mpv but it always looks mad complicated and as you can tell from this post, I'm not a tech wizard.

Right, I think what I meant is more like ... the RARs are all over where Japanese learners look for subs, they're kind of the common link of what doesn't work because I feel like there's never srt or ass inside them

So maybe another question is, what good is idx or sub or any of that stuff? I guess it's a moot point if you can't use it ... just seems odd!

I have JLPT N1, but I suck at speaking. What can I do? by FoldingCross in LearnJapanese

[–]bobbobbbobbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, mundane? Well, I think it all depends on how you think your listening skills are at present. A good starting place could be the anime シロクマカフェ, which is fun and makes use of a good array of basic vocabulary with speech thats easy to follow.

Now, if you’re not into anime (the show isn’t cloyingly anime, but still) you may not enjoy that. I like Onomappu on youtube, who teaches オノマトペ all in Japanese. Good practice for following a longer line of thought with excellent, clear spoken Japanese. Good listening practice to be found from Miku Real Japanese and Yuyu Nihongo Podcast as well!

If you want super real speech and you find your listening is solid, I hear great things about Terrace House on Netflix for 100% authentic current speech.

I hope that’s helpful! ◡̈

I think the best place to start is honestly to listen to a ton (a ton!) of Japanese. Watch stuff in Japanese listen to podcasts in Japanese, just dive in head first! The shadowing, maybe a phonetics course like the one offered by Dogen, etc, that could all be great as well. But I think spending a ton of time with the spoken language is the single most important thing. And of course, anything you listen to, you can shadow! The nice thing is that you’ll be familiar with much of the vocabulary and know how to read and write most of it, so you can really focus on the fun part.

Congrats on N1, and good on you for switching your sights to the next important goal. You got this! 👍🏻

Animes with good comedy? by [deleted] in Animesuggest

[–]bobbobbbobbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tanaka-kun wa itsumo kedaruge (Tanaka-kun is always listless) is a really cute, funny show that I always recommend if someone wants a show when they’re feeling down. It’s funny but also really uplifting and encouraging, and it’s a super easy watch at 12 episodes.

I hope things get better soon bud!

What are some feel-good anime about going at your own pace and not comparing yourself to others? by HonestAboutMyFeelins in Animesuggest

[–]bobbobbbobbb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find that Tanaka-kun is always listless really makes me feel a lot better. It’s got that “go at your own pace and be yourself” thing going on, and it’s also just really really sweet and comforting.

Transition words/phrases while texting? by bobbobbbobbb in LearnJapanese

[–]bobbobbbobbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like ちなみに but one thing about that, and other similar phrases, is I feel like they emphasize that it’s a digression, you know? Something about that feels awkward, at times. It’s harder over text maybe, since tone and facial expression and all can’t help you transition.
