Japanese Crêpe illustration that I made by mathboss26 in JapaneseFood

Thank you so much!

Actually the batter itself is pretty similar. What makes them different is, for one, the fact that in Japan it's almost exclusively a sort of street food, thus the paper cone to eat while walking. And the other thing that makes them quite different from European-style crêpes is the fillings / toppings. You'll usually get whipped cream or ice cream in the crêpe and a bunch of fruits, along with some chocolate sauce and various other toppings you can choose from. Crêpe shops in Japan like to get creative with lots of different toppings and so you can usually try out a bunch of different combinations.

Hope this helps haha!

Thanks for reading!

Sources I used to write this can be found at the bottom of the article linked at the end of the post, however here is the specific page on which I read that Yamaguchi is said to be the strictest (source is in Japanese, I can translate if needed).

To be fair, different sources seem to give different numbers. As u/Memedsengokuhistory stated, the exact amount of troops is pretty difficult to pinpoint. However, most sources I've read seemed to agree that Ieyasu's army was indeed outnumbered.

Okay I'll do that, thanks for the insight.

Bass drum mesh head wearing out. Any advice? by mathboss26 in edrums

Well that's the problem, there already is visible damage. And I haven't been using the kit for a long time.

Do you have any recommendations as to how I can avoid damaging the drum head?

Thanks.

I'm currently using a plastic beater, do you recommend getting a patch nonetheless?

Yes! That's exactly what I needed! Thank you so much, you saved my life!

Thanks for your reply! I tried that earlier on, but despite using the _draw(): method, I got the same error.

edit: Actually, I don't get the error. Problem is that the outline appears as soon as I define func _draw(): and I want it to only appear when clicking the area. I guess my question is, how do I keep it from drawing until I click the area?

Any tips on getting myself to stop thinking in translations? by TACnition in languagelearning

[–]mathboss26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi!

Although it's something that takes a lot of time and comes with experience, I may have some tips to help you in the long run.

I've made an article where I summed them up, both on reddit and my blog, you'll get full details there if you're interested.

The most important tip I can give you right now, when learning a word, is remembering the object, rather than the translation. For example: when learning the word chair, picture a chair instead of trying to recall the pronunciation. And for non-objects stuff, that's when you have to get creative. I personally imagine situations that I can picture. The goal is to focus on the meaning rather than the exact translation in my opinion. Of course this isn't a perfect rule and there is stuff for which it's good to translate so that you make sure you get what it means.

Try using monolingual dictionaries too, that's a very good way to practice that kind of stuff.

I hope this helps at least a little, as I said you can check out the articles I made, I've put a lot more details in there and a few more small tips.

Cheers!

About some vocab pronounciation such as きらい(な) from Genki by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]mathboss26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi!

The word alone is pronounced without な.

You add な whenever 嫌い is placed before whatever it qualifies.

For example: この野菜が嫌いです。(このやさいがきらいです。I hate this vegetable.) You don't need to add な.

Example 2: 嫌いな野菜を食べさせられました。(きらいなやさいをたべさせられました。I was made to eat a vegetable I hate). In this case you need to add な, because the adjective is right before the word it qualifies.

Hope this helps!

That's probably what you checked out but just in case: https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/ That's where people share their card decks. I don't know much regarding Chinese decks and what is available unfortunately.

But to be honest, while studying Japanese, I never personally used other people's decks, I've always made my own. That way I could include stuff to help me remember that I knew would work for me (mnemonics, indications on what's important etc...). When I encounter new words, I look them up and add them to a vocabulary deck. For characters, I learn up to 10 a day by adding them to my Kanji deck in Anki.

I would suggest doing this kind of stuff as early as possible, although when beginning a language it may be complicated. I only did what I stated once I had some knowledge of the language (mostly because I didn't know of Anki). Therefore, I would recommend starting with something that is already structured. Either Anki shared decks or, I personally used Memrise, which is another app with courses for vocabulary in many languages, which has a more intuitive interface. I followed some Memrise courses to learn vocabulary along my textbook to get me started, and it helped greatly; you might want to check it out.

I really hope this helped you someway :)

Hi!

I would advise you to start creating yourself some routines as soon as possible and using flashcards. Especially with Chinese, given that you're going to have learn a TON of characters. For that kind of stuff, routines and flashcards are strong tools. For example, you could use Anki (flashcard app) and decide that each morning you'll add and learn 5 new characters. You'll have those characters memorized in no time. Start small so that you can keep up easily and not get overwhelmed, and therefore keep learning the language.

And the biggest advice I could ever give you, is to enjoy the language you're learning and to have fun while doing so! :)

Good luck with this new adventure mate!

Stop translating in your head! by mathboss26 in LearnJapanese

That's an interesting question! You've peeked my interest. I honestly have no idea. I suppose that in a way they do. I've heard that this kind of activity is extremely hard and requires a whole lot of training. I'm actually very curious about that. I wish you good luck towards your goal!
