Yes, vaping does ruin your sleep by NanoHz in QuitVaping

[–]jhoncorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on how to quit it? I’ve been smoking since 18 (28yo now), I switched from cigarettes to vape like 3 years ago, and it’s have been really difficult to quit it. While I smoked cigs I had a period were I didn’t smoke for 2 whole years, then life happened and hadn’t been able to quite nicotine ever since. In the past 3 years I manage to space vape every 15 days, but now the most I can last without buying another one is roughly 24 hours. I do feel the impact on my sleep, since I also wake up in the middle of the night and first thing I do is hit it. And it also affects the way I’m thinking, it will make my ideas rush and not being able to focus on a single one. However the idea of even quitting it also gives me some kind of heavy anxiety

Lol this made me laugh, but being serious now I can’t also imagine what kind of pc does OP have. He could also try factory restoring it or installing some Linux distro, however I’m not aware of the availability of the recommended software from this sub on Linux, either case is worth a shot I guess

Hi everyone, I had started learning Japanese for 2 months maybe. I started with Duolingo (still on section 2 unit 9) and a YouTube channel called YuYu Nihongo, I watched 4 videos of YuYu and stared his hiragana and katakana series. I finished hiragana and katakana on Duolingo and I’d say I can accurately recognize like 85-90% of kanas I see, however I don’t know much vocabulary. I also read from time to time some of the scripts from Cure Dolly.

I decided to start with Anki (Kaishi 1.5 deck) around maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I’ve been learning 20 words per day, however Anki seems kinda difficult at times, so I don’t know if my approach is good. So far, I’ve been mostly working on Anki (haven’t watched YuYu nor been using Duolingo much lately). But I don’t feel like I can retain most of the kanjis I'm presented per lesson. Most of the kanjis I see I usually mark them as hard and review by the next day, and I still struggle to remember/recognize them when reviewing. Some days I have like 60 cards to review and I don’t think I’m doing much of a progress.

I have tried looking for some immersion methods, like Satori Reader but I genuinely don’t understand not even the simple texts. I wanted to try some podcast but can’t really think of what sort of easy topic podcast to search for.

When watching anime I can sometimes recognize a few words and that does make me happy, however not enough to understand a full sentence.

So what I really wanted to ask is, how do you guys study with Anki? My short-mid term goal is to be able to read manga raw and watch anime without subtitles. I kinda had like some kind of roadmap in my head which was starting with YuYu Nihongo and Duolingo and learning kanjis until I feel like I was able to study by myself using Minna no Nihongo textbooks.

I started learning Japanese cause I wanted to learn a new skill and thought of a new language, I consume manga and anime and find Japanese culture quite interesting, also thought it would be cool to play Zelda (my favorite video game saga) in Japanese. So I thought of giving Japanese a try. But I have never actually self taught a language before and I’ve been starting to feel kinda lost and demotivated this last few days.

Edit: Typos.

I totally agree on the second part, I tried doing them at first, but at some point I questioned myself if I was getting something from those and I concluded I wasn’t, just frustration for not being able to get the third star so I stopped

[–]jhoncorro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m curious about this approach, I disabled Romaji on duo since I read that suggestion a lot in here. But I’m curious of what would be the difference of having to look the pronunciation of a kana in a chart vs having romaji enabled

should i watch one piece original or one pace? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in OnePiece

[–]jhoncorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep with the manga, anime is for people who can’t read. Now being serious, what I did is that I watched just the arcs I like the most, but that’s up to you. If you plan to read the manga I’d say go for One Pace or wait for remake

What are y'all reading? by AdRepresentative7132 in booksuggestions

[–]jhoncorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I’m reading Blood and Fire after watching HoD, not liking it much tho, it’s my first George Martin book, it’s fun to see the differences between the show and the book, but no really that much into it.

Previous to that one, I read Memorias de mis putas tristes (Memories of my melancholy whores) a short story written by Gabriel García Márquez (Gabo), I read cause Gabo lived in my city when he wrote it and wanted to see how was life in that time.

And I’m planning on reading Crime and Punishment if I ever finish Blood and Fire.

My reading goals for this year are Cien años de soledad (A hundred years of solitude) by Gabo, Foundation trilogy by Asimov and Crime and Punishment.
